Chapter 37: Let that girl kneel down

Gu Fei disliked this old lady very much.

She was the one who decided to sell herself back then.

Gu Fei said nothing, while Gu Erlang quickly carried her back to the room.

The second young lady cleverly followed them in.

Gu Zhang’s voice came from the yard: “Mom, it’s not that Xiao Fei doesn’t want to see you. She’s injured. She can’t go into the city today.”

The old lady’s voice suddenly rose: “You are also a heartless person. You only know how to protect that girl. I think that girl has no elders in her eyes. She doesn’t even know how to say hello when she sees someone!”

“No matter what happens, I am still her grandmother!”

“If it weren’t for me, she wouldn’t be able to enjoy the blessings in the Marquis’ Mansion!”

Mrs. Chen came out of the kitchen with a dustpan and said, “Mom, please don’t say anything about going to the Marquis’s Mansion to enjoy the blessings.”

“The injuries on Xiao Fei’s back were caused by being punished in the Marquis’ Mansion. If she’s at home, would she be injured even a single finger?”

“You think the Marquis Mansion is a good place? Xiao Fei is lucky enough to be able to come back alive.”

Just as she was talking, Mrs. Qian came over from next door and said, “Hey, sister-in-law, what you said is not authentic.”

Her eyes went straight to the mule cart parked in the yard, “Isn’t this cart bought with Xiao Fei’s money?”

“If the Marquis’s residence is not good, can she save up the money to buy a carriage?”

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, such a big mule plus a carriage would cost dozens of taels of silver. How much has Xiao Fei made in the Marquis’ Mansion!”

Gu Zhang said calmly: “Sister-in-law, please don’t talk nonsense. I borrowed this mule cart from someone and I have to return it tomorrow.”

Mrs. Qian sighed and said: “I believe you are a ghost!”

She turned to look at the old lady and said, “Mom, as soon as Xiao Fei came back yesterday, the chicken was killed at the second brother’s house. Isn’t this crazy?”

“Also, they didn’t even send you a bowl of chicken when the whole family was eating. I think that once this girl comes back, the second brother-in-law and his whole family will no longer see you as an elder.”

Mrs. Chen was so angry that she threw down the dustpan and said, “Sister-in-law, stop stirring up trouble and picking up ashes. I also wanted to give the old lady some of that pot of chicken, but didn’t it suddenly disappear? What can I do!”

Speaking of this, Mrs. Qian became a little nervous, but she still said stubbornly: “Don’t talk nonsense, why did the chicken disappear? If you don’t want to be filial to my mother, just say so.”

The old lady was so angry that she even killed the chicken without even giving it to her to eat. These people have lost their conscience!

Back then, she decided to sell Gu Fei. After Gu Zhang woke up, he was a little lukewarm towards her, and then divided the family, saying that he didn’t want to burden everyone.

But she knew that the second child was blaming her.

But what can she do? Compared with her granddaughter, her son was naturally more important.

Moreover, at that time, she did not sell her in the brothel to get eight. But she sold her to a familiar broker who would sell Gu Fei into the Marquis Mansion for five taels of silver. Shouldn’t they be grateful to her?

This whole family was heartless!

The old lady became more and more angry as she thought about it. She waved her crutch and said: “Call that girl out and kneel. If I don’t teach her a lesson, she will climb on the elder’s head to poop and pee!”

Gu Zhang said angrily: “Mom, what are you doing? Can’t you see the injuries on Xiao Fei’s body?”

“Besides, she didn’t do anything wrong, how could you ask her to kneel?”

Gu Fei could hear it clearly in the room, so her face didn’t look good.

Had she not understood that etiquette was as important as heaven in this era, she would have rushed out to fight with the old lady.

Did she provoke her that she finds trouble for her as soon as she comes?!

The second young lady grabbed her sleeves and shivered with fear. This old lady was so scary.

At this time, Gu Erlang walked out of the house and knelt with a plop: “Grandmother, my sister is injured. I will kneel on her behalf. If you want to teach her a lesson, just teach me a lesson.”
