Chapter 32: Only Worth 50 Taels?
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Gu Shouxin had been favored by his teacher when he was still in school. Not only was he a high school student, but he was also very well-educated. However, there was absolutely no problem with him being able to read and write. Gu Xin knew about this. She had often heard from her grandfather.
Cai Xiaolian’s family was not well-off. Her brother had never been to school, so there was no need to talk about her.
Gu Nian and Gu Xin, on the other hand, would learn how to read together with her grandfather.
However, Gu Nian had not been there since she started learning how to embroider. Up until now, she could only recognize the names of her family members and could not write.
Gu Xin was slightly better off. She could recognize the names of her family members and could also write some simple words that did not have many strokes.
Gu Xin was still young. The three strange souls in the family had originally planned to slowly reveal their differences bit by bit so that Gu Xin would not feel out of place and would not suspect anything.
The mother and daughter walked together on the street, looking left and right. They were curious about everything.
They arrived at a shop that sold grain, oil, and rice noodles. Cai Xiaolian bought enough rice for four people to eat for three days. She weighed five kilograms of salt and bought some chili noodles, sesame oil, and other spices.
Of course, they were not as complete as they were in the modern world.
Gu Xin wanted to say something, but she stopped herself. She had only eaten rice seven times in her entire life. She knew that rice was very expensive, and ordinary people could not eat it every day.
But when she saw how happy her mother and sister were, she swallowed her words and wanted to stop them.
She had spent half a tael of silver and was left with more than 500 wen.
Cai Xiaolian put the change into her purse and put it in her clothes.
When the mother and daughter walked out of the grain store, Zhang Pipi, who was at the corner, saw them.
Yesterday, Zhang Pipi was scared by the Gu family. But today, when he got up and was about to go to the gambling house, he saw this family. His evil intentions came at once.
Humph, Second Brother Gu’s wife and daughter were completely fine. They had extorted two taels of silver from him, so they had to make up for it.
‘Wait a minute, let’s see if there are other people around them.’
The mother and daughter trio had no idea that they had been targeted.
They walked along the roadside and watched as they headed towards the dock.
Zhang Pipi followed them for a while. When he found that the mother and daughter trio did not have any other companions, he was relieved.
He led two of his men through the alley and circled around the area. He was ahead of the mother and daughter trio and was waiting behind the wall.
When the mother and daughter trio arrived at the entrance of the alley, Zhang Pipi and two of his men quickly appeared and carried the three of them into the alley.
Cai Xiaolian: They would be robbed even if they had five hundred wen in their pockets?
Gu Nian: Not only would they be forced to get married once they transmigrated, but they would also be rob a common girl on their first shopping trip?
Gu Xin: What’s wrong? What happened?
The rice bags, salt bags, and small bags of condiments Cai Xiaolian was carrying all fell to the ground.
“Boss, Second Brother Gu’s wife is a little old and his daughter is a little young, but she can still be sold for 20 taels of silver. The eldest daughter is just the right age and looks good too. I think she can be sold for 50 taels!” Zhang Pipi’s men immediately set a price for the three of them.
“F*ck, I’m only worth 50 taels?” Gu Nian was angry and stepped on the foot of the person behind her.
The person felt the pain and subconsciously tried to cover his foot.
Gu Nian took the opportunity to release both her hands. She bent down slightly and directly carried the person behind her and threw him to the ground.
She wasn’t strong, she just knew some fighting skills.
Cai Xiaolian persevered and used all her strength to knock her head back. The person who grabbed her was hit in the head and felt dizzy. She let go of Cai Xiaolian and covered her head with her hands.
Zhang Pipi didn’t expect this situation. He grabbed Gu Xin tightly, afraid that the little girl would be so fierce.
