Fast-paced era: a warm and leisurely life

Chapter 307 The Concubine of the Age 14

For Gu Shan, Gu's father and mother went to relatives to raise money.

When Mother Gu returned to her parents' home, her brother and sister-in-law all came over with smiles on their faces.

"Oh, how come you have time to come back today?" She said while looking at Gu's mother's hand.

Seeing that Gu's mother came back empty-handed, the smile on her face suddenly fell.

My sister-in-law curled her lips: "You didn't bring anything..."

Mother Gu rubbed her hands a little embarrassedly: "Something happened at home. Can you pay back the money you lent to Xiaolin for school two years ago?"

"What? Are you here to ask for money?" Usually, when Mother Gu came back, she would bring a lot of things. This time, not only did she come back without bringing anything, but she also asked for money. My sister-in-law's face immediately darkened.

Mother Gu lowered her head and rubbed her hands: "Isn't this something that happened suddenly at home..."

The sister-in-law didn't care what happened to Gu's mother. She just waved her hands and started to cry poor: "You know the situation at home. Your brother works hard all day and can only eat half full. We still have two elders to support. If we had money to pay you back, why would we have dragged it on until today..."

"How can I not have money? I always give a hundred or eighty yuan every time I come back..."

My sister-in-law held her head high and said firmly, "I said I have no money, and that means I have no money!!"

Mother Gu looked at her brother, who looked away and dared not look at her. After a while, he said in a low voice, "Your sister-in-law has the final say on all family matters..."

Gu's mother was suddenly a little desperate. There were only 7 days left. If she couldn't raise 7 yuan in these 500 days, Xiaoshan's hand would be chopped off...

Mother Gu pointed at her brother's nose and yelled hysterically, "When I came back in the past, I always brought food and drinks home. When you asked me to borrow money, I lent it to you without saying a word. I have never urged you for all these years. Now my family has an emergency and I am asking you for it. Are you unwilling to pay it back? You said nice things when you borrowed money, but you act like a big shot when you pay it back, right? Are you still my real brother?"

The sister-in-law crossed her arms and looked at Gu's mother coldly: "He is your biological brother, and I am not your biological sister-in-law..."

Mother Gu looked at her sister-in-law with red eyes: "If you don't pay me back, I will go to Xiaolin's school and make trouble. My son can't live well, so I will make your Xiaolin unable to live well too!!!"

Seeing Mother Gu's devil-like expression, the sister-in-law's heart skipped a beat, and she pretended to be calm and scolded: "If you dare to touch Xiaolin, I will never let you go!!!"

Gu's mother now gave people a desperate look. Sister-in-law was a little scared. She went back to the room, took out 10 yuan and threw it to Gu's mother.

"These 10 yuan are enough for my family to eat and use for half a year. I have returned the money to you. Let's go now."

Gu's mother felt that her sister-in-law was humiliating her. She wanted to throw the 10 yuan back to her sister-in-law's face, but she couldn't bear to do it.

The family has no money now, and this 10 yuan can be said to be a huge sum of money...

but it's not enough

Seeing that Gu's mother was still asking for more, the sister-in-law picked up a broom and tried to chase her away...

Finally, my grandma came out and gave me 120 yuan: "This is what you gave me in the past. I saved it all up. Don't make trouble with your sister-in-law. It's not easy for your sister-in-law either."

My sister-in-law's eyes widened, she put one hand on her waist and pointed at grandma with the other, and cursed her as if a teapot was boiling: "You old fool, we serve you wholeheartedly on weekdays, and we always ask you to eat more when we eat less, but you hide the money and don't use it for the family. You only care about your daughter, why don't you just go and live with your daughter?"

My brother stood up at this moment: "What are you talking about? I'm the eldest son, so of course mom has to live with me. Do you want me to be stabbed in the back by saying this?"

Grandma sighed, counted out 100 yuan from her bosom and handed it to my sister-in-law: "Good child, thank you for your hard work..."

My sister-in-law felt less angry after receiving the money.

Mother Gu's eyes were red: "Sister-in-law, this..."

My sister-in-law rolled her eyes and said, "Don't even think about it. Just take the money and leave. Do you want to stay here and have a free meal?"

The situation on Gu's father's side was not much better. He received many cold stares before he got back 150 yuan...

The couple returned home exhausted, counted the money, and finally managed to get back 280 yuan after much negotiation.

But the amount borrowed before was far more than 280 yuan.

Father Gu leaned back in his chair tiredly. He now truly felt what it meant that those who owe money are the bosses...

I also saw what it means when people are as thin as paper. When you have no money and are down and out, even the closest people will look down on you...

When my family was rich, all those people would greet me with a smile, and they would say ten nice things to flatter me.

The couple went to all their relatives over the next two days, but they were still short of 110 yuan.

Gu Shan looked at the scattered money on the table and burst into tears: "What should I do? What should I do? It's almost 7 days. Dad, Mom, I don't want my hands to be chopped off..."

The hard work these days has caused Gu's father's skin to become loose, and even a lot of white hair has appeared on his head.

"Didn't I tell you not to gamble? You got carried away after winning a few times, didn't you? Do you think you can win every time? If it doesn't work out, report it to the police..."

Gu's mother stood up suddenly and protected Gu Shan behind her: "No! If we report to the police, Xiao Shan will be arrested."

Father Gu rubbed his hands irritably, wanting to smoke a cigarette, but there was no tobacco residue left at home...

This made him even more annoyed: "Then what do you say we should do? Can you make these 110 yuan out of thin air?"

The next day

When Gu's father and mother were still worried, they saw the police sending Gu Nuanyi back.

The couple stood up instantly and looked at each other. This was really a pleasant surprise.

It was a pleasant surprise for this unscrupulous couple, but a disaster for Gu Nuanyi...

After the little chicken went into seclusion, Gu Nuanyi felt bored watching dramas alone, so she left the space.

Before leaving Hongsong County, he was discovered by the police patrol.

He sent the person back to Gu's house directly.

Being followed by the police, Gu Nuanyi couldn't escape into the space

If this were to happen, Gu Nuanyi would definitely be arrested and taken to the research institute the next time she appears outside!!!

Gu's father and mother were so happy that they held the police officer's hand and expressed their gratitude

The look towards Gu Nuanyi was like seeing moving money!!!

After sending the police away, Gu’s mother clasped her hands together and prayed to the heavens. The remaining 110 yuan was finally settled!!!

In the afternoon, Gu's mother went out to ask around to find out which family offered the highest bride price. No matter what the family did, as long as the bride price was high, she would marry Gu Nuanyi to them.
