Chapter 20 Shameless

Gu Jinli struck while the iron was hot, pointed to the deed of sale and said, "Since we don't know who pressed the fingerprints on this deed of sale, it cannot be counted."

When Master Ding heard what Gu Jinli said, he glared at Qian Guangzong and said angrily to Gu Jinli: "Where did you come from, this yellow-haired girl? This is an adult's business. What does it have to do with you? Go back. It's clearly written on the contract of sale, Gu On August 26, Dashan sold his family of six to the Qi Mansion in exchange for fifty catties of grain and twenty taels of silver. He will never regret it. If he regrets, he will be compensated three times the amount of grain and money."

Mr. Ding pointed his fat hand at the deed of sale and said, "It's clearly written in black and white. When it's time to pick up the person, if you want to default on the debt, there's no way!"

"A family of six?" Gu Jinli smiled, took two steps forward, and took the deed of sale from the village chief's hand: "It says there are a family of five, where are the six?"

This deed of sale is full of loopholes. What kind of daydream are you trying to sell her whole family with such a crappy thing?

Mr. Ding calmly pointed to Gu Jincheng who was kneeling and said: "He is too young. We don't want it in Qi Mansion. But Qi Mansion is a good family and we can't bear to separate your family. I'm talking about a family of six. This It means that you are allowed to take this little baby to Qi Mansion."

He has a look on his face that you should be grateful for, and should not hold on to five or six things.

Gu Jinli is really grateful to his ancestors.

She tightened the deed of sale, pointed at Uncle Gu and said: "Uncle Gu's family happens to be a family of five. The fingerprints on it are very similar to his. They must be from his family. If you want someone from Qi Mansion, you can take the three of me." Let’s take my uncle’s family of five away.”

Master Ding was stunned, how could this stinky girl bite her back like this?

Sanshu Gu was not very courageous to begin with, but Mrs. Gu begged him to do this thing, and promised him that after the task was completed, he would be given five taels of silver.

The money was not much, but he had never been so valued by Mrs. Gu in his life, so he agreed excitedly. Who would have imagined that Gu Xiaoyu would be so difficult to deal with and make such a big fuss over a simple matter.

Mrs. Gu couldn't sit still anymore and hit Gu Jinli with a cane: "Your father is the one who sold you. What are you doing to your third uncle? I'll beat you to death, you vicious bitch."

Gu Jinli dodged to avoid Mrs. Gu's pursuit, ran to Madam Zhang, grabbed Gu Rong who was watching the show, pulled her hard, and pushed her towards Master Ding: "Uncle Fatty, this one is not bad looking either. Take their family away."

"Ah." Gu Rong screamed and wanted to stop, but Gu Jinli pushed too hard and she fell into Master Ding's arms, making her skin crawl with nausea.

Gu Rong didn't even stand firm on her feet, so she twisted her body forcefully and fell directly to the ground. Feeling hurt and sick, she pointed at Gu Jinli and cried: "Uuuuuuuuu, Gu Xiaoyu, you bitch, you hurt me, you If you hurt me, I will beat you to death."

Gu Jinli looked at her coldly, feeling happy in his heart. If he dared to harm Gu Jinxiu, he would have to pay the price.

Mrs. Zhang turned pale with fright when she saw Gu Rong being pushed into Master Ding's arms. She raised her hand to slap Gu Jinli, but Gu Jinli dodged it. Then she wanted to chase Gu Jinli and hit him. The village chief shouted angrily: "Stop, everyone." Do you have any rules?"

"Lao Liu, how do you manage the house? What has become of this family?" Village Chief Gu was so angry that his heart ached. Before fleeing the famine, Lao Liu's family was still worried about their second son being a scholar and did not dare to be too shameless. At the beginning of the escape, I really lost all my face. I made troubles again and again, and the more I made troubles, the more shameless I became.

 Zhang was frightened when she saw Village Chief Gu swearing at someone, stopped chasing Gu Jinli, turned around and ran to help Gu Rong up.

Seeing that Old Mrs. Gu was about to speak, Gu Jinli said to the village chief first: "Grandpa, village chief, the matter is already very clear. What Qi Mansion wants to buy is my third uncle's family. They just wrote the wrong name. Please make the final decision and let Mr. Ding take me." The third uncle’s family will take it away.”

 Village Chief Gu remained silent. A villager from Gujia Village pointed at Gu Sanshu and said, "It seems that the ones that are being sold are really Gu Laosan and his family."

The third grandma took the opportunity to answer: "No, this Pan has never liked the third child. It is normal to sell the third child and his family. Although Dashan is not her biological son, the Dashan family can work. Who will pay if the Dashan family is sold? The old Gu family works like a cow and a horse? Pan, are you willing to let your precious second son do the work?"

When Gu Rong heard what the third grandma said, she thought about what Qian Li'er said to her, that Master Ding liked pretty and fresh little girls. Gu Jinxiu was not sold to Qi Mansion, but was given to Master Ding as a concubine... What if, what if It was their family that was sold. She was the only girl in her family, so was she going to be Master Ding's concubine?

Gu Rong looked at Master Ding's old, ugly and fat appearance. She was trembling with fear and confused. She opened her mouth and cried: "It's not my house that's being sold, it's Gu Xiaoyu's family!"

Gu Jinli: "But it has your father's handprint on it, and it says it's still a family of five, so it's your family that's being sold."

There was a trap in these words. Gu Rong didn't hear it. She was just scared and panicked and blurted out: "That fingerprint was made by my father. He said that he wanted to fake the uncle's fingerprint and sell your family... Write, write a family of five , that is, that is to give Sister Xiu to Master Ding as a concubine, so there is one less person to write."

Gu Rong’s words caused the villagers in Gujia Village to explode.

"This Aunt Gu Liu is so cruel. She actually came up with such a vicious method to sell Brother Dashan and his family."

Victor Gu was shaking with anger and pointed at Mr. Gu and said: "Lao Liu, I can't keep such a vicious woman in the Gu family. If you don't care, I, as the patriarch, will open an ancestral hall and divorce this vicious woman for you."

Not only did he plan to sell the Dashan family, but he also wanted to give the embroidered sister to a domestic slave as a concubine. This is too cruel.

Mr. Gu's face was dark. He had always wanted to save face, but now he was disgraced, but he would not admit that he was wrong. When he heard the accusation from Village Chief Gu, he frowned and said, "This is my own business and has nothing to do with the village."

When Mrs. Gu heard what Mr. Gu said, she immediately spat at Village Chief Gu: "Bah, why bother opening an ancestral hall? Is there a Gujia Village Ancestral Hall here? The head of my family told me that this is my own business and has nothing to do with the village. .”

Seeing that Gu Rong was so frightened and told the truth, Mrs. Gu decided to risk her life and said, "Master Ding, let your people come out and kidnap Gu Dashan's family to the Qi Mansion. Whoever dares to stop you will go to the Qi Mansion." The government will sue them."

 Mrs. Gu stared at the villagers in Gujia Village and said with a ferocious face: "The head of Qi Mansion is an official in the capital. If you are not afraid of lawsuits, continue to help Gu Dashan."

She said with a sinister smile: "Don't say that I didn't remind you. When you get to Yangji Mansion in the east, you will have to go to the Yamen to re-register your household registration. If you offend the Qi Mansion, the official of the Qi family will send a name card to Yangji Mansion." If you go to the government, you will never get a new household registration and you will have to become refugees!"

　　Grandma Gu’s move was not without its ruthlessness, as it grabbed the lifeblood of the villagers.

The villagers did not dare to help Gu Dashan's family after hearing what Mrs. Gu said... Without new household registration, they became refugees when they arrived in Yangji Mansion. In the Great Chu Dynasty, refugees could be bought and sold at will.

 Old Mrs. Gu’s face was full of arrogance when she saw the villagers shrinking back.

Master Ding liked Gu Jinxiu better and wanted to take away Gu Dashan's family. Seeing Mrs. Gu scolding the villagers away, he shouted into the depths of the woods: "Zhu Da, come and get people!"

 “Here comes Mr. Ding.” Deep in the woods, Zhu Da rushed towards this side with a dozen boys from Qi Mansion, followed by Qian Chengcai.

Not long after Village Chief Gu and the others arrived, Mrs. Gu felt that something bad was going to happen, so she sent Qian Chengcai to the camp of the Qi Mansion to look for someone. The person they were looking for was a boy under the supervision of Master Ding, who had been hiding in the woods and waiting. .
