Chapter 159

   As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell silent.

   Then he opened a pot, "How much? One hundred acres?"

   "My God, isn't that five hundred taels of silver?"

   "Impossible, five hundred taels?"

   Zhao Lizheng said unhurriedly, "Doctor Gu took five hundred taels of silver to buy her sister's life."

   Mr. Jiang's face was ashen, five hundred taels?

   It’s not five hundred taels to buy the entire Jiang family.

   Zhou Shi suddenly looked at Gu Yunjiao, his eyes seemed to eat people.

   Damn girl actually has so much money!

   The crowd literally exploded, and almost everyone looked at Gu Yunjiao with admiration and envy.

   There are very few people who are jealous.

   Mainly this number is too large.

   is a number that they would never dare to think of in their entire lives, so they would never feel jealous.

   Just wondering, how can such a small girl have so much money?

   Even if Doctor Gu has practiced medicine for all these years, if he has only 20 wen for a pulse diagnosis, he can't earn less than 500 taels, right?

   Zhao Li is waving his hand, "Okay, there is nothing to say, carry the person away."

  The two strong men from the Zhao family put the sticks on their shoulders, carried them and walked outside.

  The crowd rushed to the river.

   After a while, the crowd at the entrance of the ancestral hall cleared away.

  Gu Mei was still paralyzed under the tree.

   At this moment, Liu Er came over with a carriage.

  Gu Yunjiao and Chen shi worked hard to get Gu Mei, who was completely paralyzed, into the car.

  Gu Yunjiao followed and got into the car, and said to Mrs Chen, "Mother, I will send her to her mother's house."

   "May be back later in the evening."

  Chen Shi hurriedly said, "Don't come back when it's too late, stay at your mother's house first."

   "Even though Uncle Liu is following, it is still unsafe to walk at night."

   "By the way, let Ah Tie go with him, so he can help with errands or something."

  Gu Yunjiao nodded, just as he was about to lower the curtain, he saw Gu Chuan standing beside him, his eyes were full of fear.

  Gu Yunjiao said softly, "Don't run around, listen to what auntie said, elder sister will send eldest sister back, I won't be back today, and I will definitely be back tomorrow."

  Jiang Youzhi stood not far away, silently watching the carriage go away, and then he leaned on crutches and walked to the river without hesitation.

  Gu Mei was paralyzed in the carriage, in a state of semi-consciousness.

  Gu Yunjiao reached out and took her pulse.

   was frightened and cold, but nothing else.

   It's just that after such a big event, it must cost a lot of energy, and it will have an impact on her lifespan in the future.

   In just over a quarter of an hour, he arrived home.

  Gu Yunjiao first went to the second uncle's house to get the key, opened the courtyard door, and let Liu Er drive the carriage into the courtyard.

   She opened Gu Mei's room first.

   There is a thick layer of ash inside.

   Needless to say, there is not a drop of water in the tank.

  Uncle Liu helped to fetch water from the well, Gu Yunjiao quickly tidied up the house, made the bed, and then Uncle Liu helped Gu Mei down and put it on the bed.

   Then Gu Yunjiao asked A Tie to guard Gu Mei, and got on Liu Er's carriage to go to the town.

   Not long after arriving in town, Gu Yunjiao bought some charcoal and rice, flour and eggs.

   She was also hungry, so she bought a few steamed buns, gave some to Uncle Liu, and ate two for herself.

   also packed a few to take back to Gu Mei and Ah Tie.

   Then he asked Uncle Liu to drive the carriage to the door of a family.

   The courtyard door was wide open.

  Gu Yunjiao got out of the car and saw her mother, Mrs. Li, sitting under the eaves.

   In front of Mr. Li was a wooden tub, in which there was a washboard and a pile of dirty clothes. Mrs. Li lowered her head, wiping her tears while rubbing her clothes.

   seems like a poor little girl abused by her stepmother.
