Chapter 97 Asking for Witnesses
Lin Lang stopped talking and stood aside with his head down, tacitly agreeing with Zhang's decision.
Gu Liansheng was completely panicked and subconsciously asked Feng for help: "Mom! Please quickly persuade my sister-in-law! If this confession is signed, not only will it ruin my second brother's family of children, but even my son's family will have no future!"
Feng's heart trembled, and she looked at her son intently, unable to express herself in words.
After a long time, she climbed up tremblingly. No matter how angry she was, she had to clean up the mess for her son!
She first steeled herself to scold Gu Tang, "You are a young girl who has never been married, yet you are forcing your mother to divorce herself? Do you still have any dignity left?!
If someone like you makes trouble in front of the clan elders, you will be drowned in a pond and hanged! How can you still be so arrogant and domineering? Now we are helping you to conceal it, but you don't know what is good for you! "
After scolding Gu Tang, she turned around and scolded Zhang with a sullen face: "She is your daughter, and yet you can't control her! You have done such a disgrace as a mother, and you still have the nerve to live? You can sign that confession!
Listen to me, sell the Lin family's house and use the money to make up for it. Make up as much as you can. If it's not enough, I'll allow you to owe it and pay it back slowly in the future..."
Zhang's face froze, her eyes flickered and shifted, her drooping eyelids hiding the panic in her eyes.
The large blue brick house that the Lin family lives in now was secretly sold by her a few days ago.
The old lady was seriously ill and was afraid that she would not survive the New Year. Death was nothing, but she owed the clan money and never repaid it.
Over the years, she sent a lot of money back home, but the old lady was still resentful and kept finding excuses to delay returning it.
When the person dies, the clan will definitely ask for the big blue brick house to pay off the debt.
The Lin family's house has three main rooms and three rooms in the east wing, a total of six rooms, all made of blue bricks and black tiles.
It was built when the Lin family was prosperous. It cost nearly twenty taels of silver and the materials used were excellent.
But the house is being sold secretly now, to prevent outsiders from knowing about it. The Lin family has to continue living in it before the old lady dies.
In addition, the buyer must keep this confidential and not disclose it to anyone.
Therefore, the price of the house was severely reduced and it was sold for only ten taels of silver.
If these ten taels of silver were to be exposed, not only would the account not be settled, but the silver would also be lost!
The little beast she gave birth to will definitely steal the silver!
"You decide whether you agree or not! How come you've become a gourd with its mouth sawed off?" Feng was so angry that she stepped forward and tried to pinch Zhang, but Zhang dodged.
"What you said is useless. Can you control her?" Zhang glanced at Gu Tang with a sarcastic tone.
Feng paused, and before she could speak, she heard Gu Tang yelling over there, "Grandma, you sound better than singing, but it's useless even if you say it like flowers. Unless you can make up the money for me, otherwise, I will make a big fuss about this matter today! The bigger the better!"
I still say the same thing, we, the second branch, don't care about our reputation! At worst, we can just move out. When the time comes, you'll have to take care of this mess!"
Zhang immediately began to mock Feng with sarcastic remarks: "You said I couldn't control her, but you managed to control her and open my eyes! From now on, I'll watch her jump around on your head!"
Feng had a ferocious look on her face and her hands were shaking.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw her second son coming out of the main hall. As if she saw a glimpse of hope, she quickly complained to him, "Second son! Are you still going to discipline your daughter? Now she's so evil and vicious! You even forced your wife to sign a confession and asked her to divorce! What can a girl like her say or do?"
Hearing this, Gu Lianshan looked at Gu Tang in astonishment: "Daughter?"
"I asked her to choose one of the two..." Gu Tang told her father the two options she had proposed earlier, and finally said, "She chose one herself, so it's settled. Go find a tight-lipped elder in the village and have him be a witness."
"Why do we need witnesses?" Zhang looked flustered and reluctant.
"To prevent you from saying in the future that my Gu family tortured you into confessing and forced you to sign the confession! It's better to have a 'mutual consent' relationship." Gu Tang sneered twice, and Zhang's face instantly darkened.
Gu Lianshan sighed, "The most tight-lipped person in the village is your third uncle. He's also literate. Now that I'm alone, it's most appropriate for him to come."
After he finished speaking, he walked out.
Zhang glanced at him, feeling a little unhappy.
When he heard that he was forced to divorce her, he didn't even try to persuade her. He was so anxious to ask someone to be a witness. I'm afraid he had wanted to divorce her for a long time!
Fortunately, I haven't been close to him over the years. Such a heartless person is really not a good match!
If I hadn't been really desperate, I wouldn't have married into the Gu family!
Zhang pursed her lips, looking angry.
Before Gu Lianshan reached the gate of the courtyard, Feng grabbed his arm with a pale face, and Gu Liansheng, who looked frightened, followed behind him.
"Don't go! If you dare to go today, I'll kill myself in front of you!"
"Second brother! If something happens to Mom, will you be okay? Just for Mom's sake, let this matter go..."
"Get out!" Gu Lianshan suddenly became furious and roared ferociously, the veins on his forehead bulged and his face was full of ferocity.
Feng's mother and son shuddered all over, their scalps went numb, and they stood there in a daze, feeling timid.
Feng subconsciously let go of his hand, no longer daring to stop him, and watched him leave the yard.
After the others left, the mother and son were so panicked that they had no idea what to do and started looking for Mr. Gu for help.
But when I looked around the yard, I didn't see anyone.
Thinking of her second son who had just come out of the main room, Feng's heart sank. She was afraid that her husband might be so angry that he would have a seizure again!
Her heart was in a knot, and she no longer cared about her eldest son. She staggered back to the main room.
"Mom!" Gu Liansheng was angry and anxious when he saw this. He didn't understand why the old lady went back to the house, so he had to let his son support him and follow her.
Seeing the mother and son in a panic, Gu Tang curled his lips and took the opportunity to run to the east wing to rummage around, and brought the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone that Gu Liansheng had just completed to the yard.
Wait for the third uncle to come over and ask him to write a confession according to her dictation.
He glanced at Zhang, who was standing with the Lin brothers and sisters at this time. She was comforting Lin Lang while asking about Lin Yue's arm with concern.
Seeing Gu Tang bring out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, the tenderness and distress on Zhang's face quickly disappeared, and she glared at Gu Tang with a cold look.
"I admit what I did! What about what you did? First you broke Sister Yue'er's arm, and then you used a rope to strangle me. How should these two things be handled?"
Gu Tang lied to her without blinking, "Why are you in such a hurry? Since you admit your guilt, I admit it too! Once you sign the confession, I will pay you every penny of the compensation I owe you!"
Just like my uncle said, I have plenty of money to spend now. At most I can compensate you with three or five taels of silver, which I can still afford!"
Zhang was filled with resentment and hatred. Since she had no shortage of money, why was he so obsessed with these dozens of taels of silver?
Since the little beast is so vicious, don't blame her for asking for such a huge amount!
