Portable Space: The Peasant Princess

Chapter 410 Moving out of the ghetto

After Lu Yuanzai and Gu Panxia convinced Gu Dahai, they sent Gu Dahai into the carriage.

At this time, other people in the slums poked their heads out one after another, and several women who were close to Zhou boldly stepped forward to ask.

“Sister Zhou, are you moving out?”

There was envy in the eyes of several people. Looking at the luxurious carriage, they knew that these people were not ordinary people. They did not expect that Zhou could actually know such a big shot.

Ms. Zhou nodded and smiled: "Yes, I found my daughter, and she came to pick us up."

When several people heard this and saw Gu Panxia standing next to Ms. Zhou, they couldn't help but praise her, "What a pretty girl! Are you Sister Zhou's daughter?"

 Gu Panxia nodded with a smile, "Hello, aunts, thank you for helping to take care of my parents these years!"

“Hey, you’re so polite, little girl. We are also in trouble, but even though we tried to do something occasionally, we couldn’t help much.”

“Yeah, I didn’t expect Sister Zhou to have such a handsome daughter. She is much prettier than the rich girls I saw in the wealthy areas.”

People in slums live a much harder life than people in rural areas. In rural areas, at least they still have fields. As long as the harvest is good, they won’t starve to death.

 But people in the slums have almost no source of income other than doing menial work for the rich in the rich areas.

The prices of goods in Beijing are also high. If you want to survive here, you have to work ten times harder than others. Otherwise, you are likely to starve to death.

 Gu Panxia took out her purse, took out a few ingots of silver, and handed them to several people's hands.

 “Be careful, I hope my aunts will accept it.”

A few people stared at the five taels of silver in their hands in disbelief. Their hands tightened unconsciously, and the corners of their mouths grew wider and wider.

One of them was afraid that Gu Panxia would regret it, so he hurriedly put the money into his trouser pocket and said with a smile: "Thank you very much, girl, then we are welcome!"

Fifty taels of silver is almost nothing in a rich family, maybe just the price of a cup of tea, but here, it may be a year's living expenses.

 “This is just a little thought, as long as the aunts can accept it!”

Gu Panxia didn't think anything of the excessive excitement of several people. She understood the feeling of poverty, just like when she first came to this world, with nothing and no clue.

At that time, she was excited to earn hundreds of pennies, but now that she thinks about it, that feeling is indeed not good.

She nodded to a few people, and helped Zhou get into the carriage under everyone's envious, happy or jealous eyes.

After Gu Panxia and others left, a woman approached several women and said in a sour tone: "Oh, this girl is so generous with her actions. One purchase is thirty taels of silver. I didn't expect that Mrs. Zhou actually has this." If I had known about Qian's wife, I should have established a good relationship with her."

When the women heard this, they snorted disdainfully and took the money and returned to their respective houses.

The woman saw that no one was paying attention to her, so she pouted on the snow and went back to her house.

"Pan Xia, Master Lu is a good man. You should be nicer to him in the future."

 Gu Panxia nodded, "Don't worry, mother, I understand."

Without Lu Yuan’s help along the way, she would not have been able to reach where she is today so quickly.

Moreover, if it weren't for Lu Yuan, she wouldn't have known Aunt Fang, and naturally she wouldn't have been able to find Zhou and Gu Dahai so early.

Thinking about it now, everything was really predestined as her master said.
