However, she could not do that. She even had to squeeze out a smile and apologize. “Uncle, Aunt, don’t be angry. We weren’t clear-headed yesterday, right? We went back and thought about it for the entire night. We felt that we had let Mu Lan down. Yuan Zhi was entrusted to us by Mu Lan. We can’t just leave him in the old Gu family. We feel guilty.”
The members of the Gu family acted as if they had heard a joke, especially Madam Jia. She leaned against the door and laughed hysterically. “Sister-in-law Hu, why are you acting like this every day? I don’t think you feel guilty. Yesterday, you said that you didn’t want Yuan Zhi. Today, you came over to ask for him again. What if you say that you don’t want him tomorrow? Who can stand you making a fuss like this?”
“That’s right. Our Gu family is very busy. We don’t have time to mess around with you,” Gu Dahe said loudly.
The three members of the Ding Family did not look good. They secretly despised him in their hearts. Busy? You, Gu Dahe, are the laziest sloth in this village.
Madam Hu suppressed the anger in her heart and said with a smile, “No, no. I promise that after we take Yuan Zhi away this time, we won’t send him back.” “Who would believe you?” Madam Hu was not someone who could be trusted.
The third son of the Gu family, Gu Dahu, stroked his chin and suddenly said, “Sister-in-law Hu’s change today is too strange. Is your family plotting something?”
“Are you going to sell Yuan Zhi?” Madam Chang, the third daughter-in-law, asked softly.
Bian Yuanzhi, who had just walked out of the courtyard, was stunned. His small body shook violently, and he barely stood against the wall.
Madam Jia’s eyes lit up when she heard that. She rushed to Madam Hu and said, “Sister-in-law Hu, Third Sister-in-law is right, right? You want to sell Yuan Zhi? Let me tell you, that won’t do. Yuan Zhi has met the county magistrate. Can you bear the responsibility if you sell him?”
“I’m not selling him.”
“Who would believe you?” Madam Jia snorted coldly. “Then why are your words yesterday and today completely different?”
“I told you, I felt guilty when I went back and thought about it.”
“Who are you trying to fool? It’s fine if you want to take Yuan Zhi away. Give us some silver. We’ve helped you raise him for so long. You’ll have to pay for his food, clothes, and accommodation. Five taels, take him away.”
Madam Jia glanced at Gu Chuanzong. Seeing that he did not say anything, she thought that he had no objections.
Five taels of silver was not a small amount. At least for now, the Ding family could only take out this much.
Bian Yuanzhi also looked at Gu Chuanzong. After a while, he finally walked to Gu Chuanzong’s side, “Grandpa, are you really…”
Gu Chuanzong frowned and sighed. “Yuanzhi, it’s not that I don’t want to raise you, but you heard it yourself. It’s your sister who entrusted you to the Ding family. If you leave with the Ding family, your sister will rest in peace. Your uncle and aunt have taken good care of you recently. It’s only right for the Ding family to give them some money.”
Bian Yuanzhi’s heart turned cold as he let go of Gu Chuanzong’s sleeve.
‘I should have known. Forget it. It doesn’t matter.’
Madam Hu was so angry that she almost vomited blood. She glared at Madam Jia and said, “Five taels of silver. Why don’t you rob me?”
“Are you giving it to me or not? If you don’t give it, Yuan Zhi won’t be able to leave with you.”
Madam Hu gritted her teeth. This b*tch.
“Jia Meizi, don’t force me. If you force me, I will say anything.”
Madam Jia raised her eyebrows. “Oh, you’re threatening me? Tell me, let’s see what you have to say.”
Madam Hu was furious. “I’ll tell them about the lousy, bad, and vicious things you did..”
