The ugly princess

Chapter 142 So What If You Promise?
"Mrs. Gu, your family really wants to sell your third son to those merchant fleets as coolies? No way, how can you be so cruel?"

"Mrs. Gu, you have to think twice before you act. Once this person enters that kind of place where he is exhausted, it will be very difficult to save his life!"

"Isn't it, what a crime!"

From the tone of the Gu family, those villagers who watched the fun had already confirmed that Gu Qingyu was not lying, and they all sighed for a while. What is the heart of the Gu family?
This Gu Laosan usually stays at Lao Gu's house, not to mention working hard, he wakes up earlier than chickens and sleeps later than dogs every day, sometimes they feel sad when they see it.

Although it is well known that the two elders of the Gu family are extremely partial to Gu Qinghua and Gu Qingming, but in order to pay off Gu Qingming's gambling debts, since they don't care about the life or death of the third child, what the Gu family did is really chilling!
"What nonsense are you talking about? How could our family sell the third child, we just asked him to sign a part-time job agreement."

When Mrs. Gu heard the accusations against her family, she yelled loudly, her face turned red from the beginning, and then turned a little blue, and the veins in her neck bulged.

"Hmph, that's really nice to say. Even a fool knows that you can only enter that kind of ghost place, but you're really working hard."

"Isn't that right, Gu Laosan, let me tell you, don't be so stupid."

"Mrs. Gu, I'm too embarrassed to talk about you. The third child is such a good kid. He's not like Gu Qingming, who is lazy and gambles.

I don't know if the two elders of your Gu family are blinded by lard, and you don't care about the good boy of the third child, but you prefer Gu Qingming, a dead gambler. I think the good times of your old Gu family are coming to an end. "

Everyone was angry at the old lady Gu and the others, and there was an old man in the village, old man Xu, who was even more angry.

"You old man surnamed Xu, you'd better shut your crow's mouth for me. Our old Gu's life is going well. Don't sow discord for me. Why don't our two elders love the third?"

As soon as Mrs. Gu heard Uncle Xu's words, it was as if someone had stepped on her tail, and her lungs were about to explode with anger.

For the past month, their old Gu's family has been in a lot of trouble for some reason. If it continues like this, it's true that good times won't last long, but how can she admit this fact?
"Mother, I want to ask you one more question. You said that as long as I sign the agreement, you will give the ten taels of silver to my Mo'er for reading and writing. Do you mean what you say?"

Gu Qingmu interrupted suddenly, he looked at Old Madam Gu and asked word for word according to what Qingyu taught him.

Gu Qingyu deliberately taught Gu Qingmu to say these words. In the past, Gu Qingmu always obeyed the old lady Gu. She wanted to test it out. How determined was Gu Qingmu to keep their mother and daughter by their side?

This time, Gu Qingmu didn't disappoint Gu Qingyu, because he was like a man now, he didn't shrink back when he met Mrs. Gu like before.

From the moment he refused to sign the agreement, Gu Qingyu felt that this man still had a bit of backbone in his bones and could be saved.

"Here, third child, when did mother ever lie to you, of course she knows what she says!"

Old lady Gu never dreamed that Gu Qingmu would question her, but in front of so many people, and Gu Qingmu was having a fight at this moment, she was really stuck, so she had to answer casually.

"Mrs. Gu, what you said sounds quite interesting.

My family is also short of a helper now. If I can get 15 taels of silver now, can you also sell your third child to our family for 30 years? "

Gu Qingyu said meanly, deliberately provoking Mrs. Gu.

"15 taels of silver? You are dreaming, the town gave you 25 taels of silver."

Mrs. Xu was the first to jump out when she heard the words. If it was only 15 taels of silver, then Gu Qingming would have paid off her gambling debts by then. How could she still take advantage of it?
"This is strange, didn't I hear that after the old lady promised to get 25 taels of silver, she would give ten taels of it to my family Mo'er for reading and writing?

If this is the case, I will keep the ten taels of silver and give you the remaining 15 taels of silver. "Gu Qingyu frowned, and looked at the Gu family provocatively.

"So what if you promised? Your character is so bad, and your heart is so bad. If we kill you, we won't let the third child sign an agreement with your family. Who knows if your family will abuse my third child."

When Mrs. Gu heard this, she panicked. She was just talking about the ten taels of silver, so how could she take it out.

"Little slut, I told you not to talk too much. If your family is casual, you can get 15 taels of silver. It really is hell, unless you do that embarrassing thing again."

Gu Qingming gritted his teeth and stared at Gu Qingyu, speaking full of vitriol.

The so-called 'disgraceful act', when the people present heard it, they immediately understood what Gu Qingming was referring to?
A few days ago, the villagers heard that Gu Qingyu bought a second-hand carriage. Now if Gu Qingyu's family can get another 15 taels of silver, then something is really wrong. Have you hooked up with some rich guy?

"Sister Yu, it's fine if they don't sign. I heard that the merchant fleet in the town has already left. Anyway, they can't sell this person even if they want to."

Huzi suddenly appeared outside the courtyard gate together with Lizheng, Huzi originally came to find Gu Qingyu to have something to do, but he didn't expect to see such an appearance.

"How is it possible? The fleet clearly said that it will leave after three days." Gu Qingming's eyes turned red in an instant. If the fleet left, it would be over.

The bosses who run the merchant ship are all big local tyrants, and the risk of shipping is high, so their buying price is usually much higher than other merchants. No one will pay such a high price to buy people.

"If you don't believe me, you can go to the town to see for yourself."

Huzi was telling the truth, because the merchant fleet made a deal with their manor, and it happened that the manor suddenly had a batch of fruits urgently to be shipped, so the fleet left early this morning.

"Brother Huzi, why did you come back suddenly? Does Manager Su have something to explain?"

Hu Zi didn't have a vacation recently, so he must have something to do when he came back suddenly, Gu Qingyu saw that the members of the Gu family were very snarky, so he also deliberately left them alone.

"Sister Yu, I came to see you today because I have something to tell you, why don't we talk while drinking water in the house?" Huzi didn't pay attention to the people of Gu's family anymore, and turned his gaze to Gu Qingyu .

"Of course that's good. Grandpa Lizheng, Brother Huzi, please come to my room." Gu Qingyu made a gesture of invitation.

Seeing that Gu Qingyu was about to leave, Gu Qingming suddenly became anxious, his eyes flashed, and he quickly whispered something into the old lady's ear.
