“Who knows! I’m afraid they’ll come again.” Gu Xianglan looked at the carriage heading home.
“Mother, Second Brother said he’s going to pay off his gambling debts today. Does he really have money? You should let me or Eldest Brother go with him. I’m really afraid that he’ll use Second Sister-in-Law and the two nieces to pay off his debts!” Gu Shouli said again.
“He won’t. Go back to work!” Gu Xianglan did not say much and turned around to return to her room.
In the carriage that had not gone far, Lu Zheng’s ears twitched.
As if he had heard about gambling debts and paying off debts, his heart was a little flustered.
“In the past few days, Gu Shouxin has brought his wife and daughter to town to sell things. I heard that they have earned quite a lot! Aren’t they all going to the county town now?”
“Which county town are they going to?”
“Taoyuan County! Don’t the villagers go there when they go for large gatherings?”
“Ah? Taoyuan County? No matter how much he earns, he can’t pay off his gambling debts. The gambling house is in Taoyuan County. I heard from the person who came to collect the debts last time that it was 300 taels!”
“300 taels? That’s a lot! Did Gu Shouxin take his wife and daughter to pay off the debts? Aunt Xianglan doesn’t care?”
“When Aunt Xianglan chased the four of them out of the house, she didn’t want to care! Poor little girl! She’s handsome and good at embroidery, yet she has such a father!”
“Then Cai Xiaolian and Gu Er Ya won’t be pitiful anymore? Gu Er Ya is the more sensible daughter! Look at how she was raised by Gu Shouxin? Also, how many kids in our village wanted to marry Cai Xiaolian back then? She just had to marry Gu Shouxin, whose heart is higher than the sky. Look at how wasted she has been all these years!”
“Maybe this mother and daughter trio will be able to escape from Gu Shouxin and find a good family to live in!”
“What nonsense are you spouting! How can they live a good life if they are used to pay off their debts? Sigh, the old couple of the Gu family doesn’t care. It’s useless for us to say anything. What a sin!”
The carriage left San Cha Kou Village and was about to return to town when Lu Zheng stopped it.
“Grandpa He, Lucky, I want to make a trip to Taoyuan County. You guys can go back first!” Lu Zheng jumped off the carriage and untied a horse.
This carriage had two horses. He was afraid that there would be an emergency and he could ride the horse to solve it first. Now, it was just right.
“Young Master, let us go with you!” Butler He said quickly.
“The carriage is slow. I’m a little anxious, so I’ll ride the horse over. Help me tell Grandfather that I will come back for dinner tonight.” Lu Zheng got on the horse. Then, he spoke something and rode away.
“Sigh, Lucky, what do you think Young Master is doing? Why is he suddenly going to the county?” Butler He had a worried look on his face.
“Second Butler, I don’t know either.” Lucky scratched his head. He knew that his Young Master was strange, but he just couldn’t understand his heart!
“Forget it, let’s go. Let’s go back!” Butler He watched the horse’s figure disappear. In the end, he decided to go back and report it first.
Lu Zheng sped up his horse, feeling flustered.
He would never allow Xin’er to be sold into someone else’s hands again.
He would never allow his Xin’er to walk the path of her past life again.
He had to protect her well.
As for Gu Shouxin’s family, when Lu Zheng was speeding up his horse to save Gu Xin and was about to reach the county town, they slowly drove the ox-cart out of the Lotus Village.
They helped them to the end, sending Sun Yumei to her brother’s house in the Lotus Village. The ox-cart was slow, so Lu Zheng once again missed them..
