Chapter 15: Get the land deed

Ms. Chen cried and threw herself on Gu Qing's back. Gu Qing hurriedly got out of the way, "Mom, my sister is injured. Don't press her. You have to let her lie down on the kang quickly."

Ms. Chen stopped her feet and asked, "Where is it hurt?"

She looked over and suddenly saw a large amount of blood on Gu Fei's back. She swayed and almost fainted. Fortunately, Li Chunhua came over to support her.

Gu Fei was quickly put on the kang, lying on her stomach with her head tilted. Mrs. Chen looked at her bloodstained middle coat, her hands were trembling and she didn't dare to lift it.

Gu Qing took out the ointment and handed it to Li Chunhua, telling her to apply it to Gu Fei in a while, and then said to Chen: "Mom, take out all the money at home. I will redeem the girl. It cost me twenty taels of silver. I have to Give it back to others.”

Mrs. Chen was surprised, "Twenty taels, but we don't have that many at home!"

 Gu Qing gritted his teeth and said, "I'll borrow it if there's still a lot left."

Gu Fei was about to say that she had money, but suddenly she held back.

  It’s not that she is selfish, she always has some knots in her heart about the family members who sold her. She wants to see how far the people in this family can go for her, and then she decides how to treat them.

Ms. Chen hurriedly took the key to open the kang cabinet, took out a small box from inside, and opened the box. Inside was some scattered silver. Gu Qing weighed it and estimated that there were about twelve taels.

 Gu Qing took the money and walked out. Mrs. Chen stopped him, "Where are you going to borrow money?"

 Gu Qing paused, "Let's go to the uncle's house and brother-in-law's house first. If it's not enough, I'll go to the village chief."

 “Mom, you go to the main room to entertain the guests.”

“Chunhua, ask the two dogs next door to go find daddy.”

 Gu Qing went out after finishing speaking.

He walked to the main room and saw Shitou still standing at the door. He hurriedly invited people in, "Brother Shitou, please sit down for a moment. I don't have enough money here. I'll come as soon as I can."

Mrs. Chen also came out, went to the kitchen to find the most respectable coarse porcelain cup in the house, poured a cup of tea and sent it to the main room.

As a peasant woman, Chen didn’t know how to entertain guests, especially when Shitou looked like an ordinary person.

 The two of them were sitting in the main room.

 Fortunately, after a while, a middle-aged man came in.

Ms. Chen quickly stood up and said, "Master, you are back."

She pointed to the stone, "This is my benefactor. If he hadn't loaned me twenty taels of silver to the boss, Xiao Fei wouldn't be able to come back today."

Gu Zhang bent down and bowed deeply to the stone, "Thank you so much for lending me the money."

Shitou stood up hurriedly, "No need to thank me, it was my young master who borrowed the money."

Gu Zhang nodded and still said: "My dear benefactor, please take a seat."

“Ms. Chen, go and arrange the food and wine for the table. It’s noon. My benefactor will eat before leaving.”

  Shi Shi was extremely uncomfortable. It looked like the family was very poor. They couldn't even afford twenty taels of silver. If he really wanted to stay for a meal, he would feel guilty.

 He waved his hands repeatedly, "No need, I'll take the money and leave."

 After saying the words, he felt there was some ambiguity, and added: "Actually, my young master said that there is no need to pay back the money. I don't think there is any need to go out to borrow money. I will go back right away."

Mr. Chen's face was happy when she heard this. Just as she was about to say something, she heard Gu Zhang say: "It's a great kindness, but since the money was borrowed, it must be paid back. Please wait a moment."

After Gu Zhang finished speaking, he pulled Chen outside and said, "Go and give me the land deed."

Chen's face looked horrified, "You don't want to sell the land, do you? The boss has already gone to borrow money. The family only has these few acres of land. If it is sold, what will the family eat?"
