Chapter 30: Dog Eyes Look Down on People
Gu Qing took the banknote into his arms with trembling hands.
This is two hundred taels of silver!
Such a large sum of money is enough for the family to spend for decades, so it must not be lost.
Then Gu Fei turned to Gu Erlang, "Second brother, after the third brother pawns his things, you take some silver and go to the city to rent a yard for a month. The place should be big enough for a mule cart. After renting the yard, you go to the South City to meet the eldest brother. After buying things, drive the mule cart into the yard."
Gu Fei continued, "Third brother will also go to the South City to meet the eldest brother after pawning the jewelry. Dad and I will go to the Jiaofangsi. You buy the things and leave someone to look after the house in the rented place."
Gu Fei looked at Gu Zhang again, "Dad, is this arrangement okay?"
Gu Zhang thought for a while, "Is it unnecessary to rent a yard in the city?"
Gu Fei smiled, "Dad, if our family suddenly drove a few mule carts back, wouldn't the village be in an uproar?"
She came from the Marquis's Mansion, and it was no secret that the Marquis's Mansion was confiscated. At that time, someone would definitely think that she had hidden the Marquis's money. Maybe there would be jealous people who reported to the government, which would be a big trouble.
Gu Zhang soon thought of this, nodded, and looked at Gu Fei with relief, "Dad is not as thoughtful as you."
In less than half an hour, they entered the city, and Gu Qing got off the carriage with several brothers at the city gate.
Gu Fei and Gu Zhang went straight to the Jiaofangsi.
The gate of the Jiaofangsi was open.
Gu Zhang and Gu Fei got off the carriage. As soon as they walked to the door and looked inside, the gatekeeper shouted, "What are you doing? Go, go, this is not the place for you!"
Gu Zhang smiled while groping for silver in his sleeve pocket, "Master, I want to ask you something."
"Where did you come from, you country bumpkin? I told you to get out, didn't you hear me?" The servant didn't wait for Gu Zhang to get close, and stretched out his hand and pushed him hard.
Gu Zhang was standing on the steps, and this push made his body lean back.
Gu Fei hurriedly tried to pull him, but she was injured and her body was not as flexible as before. She didn't pull him, and Gu Zhang rolled down the steps.
"Dad——" Gu Fei rushed down and helped Gu Zhang sit up. She saw that he had a broken forehead and was still bleeding.
"Dad, are you okay?" Gu Fei said while anxiously looking at Gu Zhang. She didn't know if he had hurt his arms or legs.
"Dad is fine." Gu Zhang took a breath and slowly stood up with the help of Gu Fei.
Gu Fei took out a handkerchief and pressed it on Gu Zhang's forehead. She turned back and said angrily to the servant: "You are so unreasonable. If you don't let me in, then don't let me in. Why are you hitting me!"
The servant sneered, "Country bumpkin, what's wrong with me hitting you? It's useless to beat you to death. Can you still sue me?"
At this time, a man who looked like a manager came out of the door, "What are you doing, making a fuss?"
The servant instantly became respectful and bent over, "Manager Liu, two country bumpkins came, looking around, and they are not good people at first glance."
Manager Liu glanced at Gu Fei and his daughter, "Drive them away. What does it look like to stand at the door in rags!" Then he turned and went in.
The servant bowed respectfully, "Yes."
The figure of Manager Liu disappeared, and the servant instantly straightened up, ran down a few steps, and kicked Gu Zhang in the chest, "Get away——"
Gu Fei was horrified and quickly pulled Gu Zhang to the side.
The servant didn't kick anyone, lost his balance, staggered forward two steps, and almost fell.
A few passers-by laughed.
