Chapter 129: Endure, you must endure!
Not long after, Ding Sheng and Wang Tianxiao came to the study in the backyard of the Yuanwai Mansion together.
After the two came in, they sat down next to Wang Feihu, one on the left and one on the right, forming a confrontation with Gu Chan who was sitting opposite them.
Gu Chan was stunned by what he saw!
Dry!
These three people are planning to get her!
Otherwise, why are they so serious and putting on such a show?
Fortunately, Gu Chan had just experienced a wave of low health in Shen Mansion, and now she has recovered. Otherwise, she would have felt a little uneasy.
Ding Sheng and Wang Feihu exchanged glances, and then he started to complain about his poverty, "Manager Gu! You know, the border is a very poor place. How can the county government afford to help you buy herbs?"
"Our Wang family's income has been decreasing recently, and everyone is tightening their belts! Look, I've been wearing this piece of clothing for a long time, and it's almost worn out, but I can't bear to buy a new one." Wang Feihu showed off his torn sleeves and started to cry about being poor.
Gu Chan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
No wonder she said that when she was waiting for someone, Wang Feihu kept scratching his sleeves, and she thought he had an itch on his wrist! After all this time, it turned out that he was secretly scratching his sleeves to make them burst!
Wang Tianxiao immediately cooperated with the two of them, "Manager Gu, why don't you go tell General Long that we will try to help him get the money together, but we don't know how much we can get."
"Yes, yes, we must collect the money. Then we will mobilize everyone in the county to donate money to the Tiger Army soldiers! It will mean that everyone is doing their part to support the Tiger Army." Ding Sheng took over the conversation and went with the flow.
Anyway, in a nutshell, it's impossible to ask them to take the money alone, but they will help to collect it. As for how much, I don't know. It would be best if they collect a lot, but don't blame me if they collect less.
Gu Chan thought about it and instantly understood what they meant.
She suppressed her anger and said calmly, "Nowadays, the people in the city are all living a hard life. You don't pay, but ask everyone to collect money. How can this be possible? You are the border officials. You must have collected taxes and silver, right? You have earned all the money, but when it comes time to pay, you are not willing to do so. This is not okay!"
"Manager Gu, what are you talking about? The ones who make money are the big merchants in the city! How much money can our two families make? If you say that, then I think you shouldn't come to us tonight. You should go to the rich area and ask your godfather to call on all the big merchants to donate money to support the Tiger Army." Wang Feihu said back with a stiff face.
Ding Sheng quickly added, "Mr. Wang is right. Your godfather is so rich! He is the richest man in the frontier! As long as he can make a call, those big merchants will dare not donate money."
"Mr. Wang is still the richest man in the border area! And you are the magistrate of a county in the border area! You two are the top bosses, yet you are pushing the blame onto my godfather and his merchants?" Gu Chan asked angrily.
"I'm not making excuses. We really don't have money. That's a fact." Ding Sheng spread his hands, looking like a complete rogue.
Wang Feihu and his son smiled at each other, looking very proud.
As long as the three of them cooperate well and insist that they have no money, can a little brat like Gu Chan really take money out of their pockets?
Gu Chan sat where she was, her face turning blue with anger and her fists clenched tightly.
Based on her previous temper, she would have been unable to hold back and would have cursed at these three bastards, but now she understood that if she really got angry, she would only be criticized and it would not have any effect at all.
By then, these three people will make things difficult for her and drive her out, and it will not be so easy for her to ask for money again.
"Huhuhu..."
Thinking of this, Gu Chan suppressed her anger, took deep breaths secretly, and controlled herself to calm down from her angry state.
At this time, the snake baby hidden in her arms Baidu said, [They are playing rogue! In my opinion, it is useless to argue with them, we still have to find a way to get serious. 】【They are holding on to their mouths, what's the point of getting serious, we have to find a way to make them give money on their own initiative. 】Snake Baby Sogou put forward a different view.
Gu Chan was stunned at first, then her eyes suddenly lit up and a plan came to her mind.
The next second, she suddenly smiled, stared at the three of them and said, "Alright! Since you are all poor, I won't say any more. I will go back and figure out a way to deal with the money issue. You guys should go to bed early. Sorry for disturbing you."
"Okay, Manager Gu, take care!" Ding Sheng said with a smile.
Wang Feihu shouted to the outside of the door, "Someone, show the guest out."
A servant who was waiting outside the door came in immediately and gestured to Gu Chan to come in.
Gu Chan suppressed her anger and stood up to leave. When she reached the door, she deliberately stopped and said without turning back, "Oh! What a pity! A great opportunity is in front of you, but you don't know how to cherish it."
After saying that, she walked away without any explanation.
When Ding Sheng saw her leave, he stared at Wang Feihu and asked, "Mr. Wang, what did this kid say before he left?"
"How would I know? Don't listen to her nonsense. She probably couldn't get the money, so she said that deliberately to trap us." Wang Feihu said with a cold face.
"That's true. This kid has always been cunning and you can't believe a word he says." Ding Sheng nodded in agreement.
Wang Tianxiao, however, had a look of gloating over the misfortune. “That’s good now. She can’t get the money to buy medicine, so she can’t treat the many injured soldiers who were sent here in the second half of the night. When Long Zhen blames her, she will definitely be the first one to suffer.”
"It's none of our business. It would be best if Long Zhen chopped off his head, so that we won't have to see it or be bothered by it."
"That's right. This brat is very annoying. He always goes against us. We should punish him severely."
Wang Feihu and Ding Sheng cursed one after another.
From the beginning to the end, they had no good feelings towards Gu Chan. Now that they finally got the chance, of course they wanted to trick her to death.
Let’s talk about Gu Chan!
After leaving the Yuanwai Mansion, she returned to the Shen Mansion with a sneer all the way, went to the shabby courtyard where Shen Yang lived, and found Shen Sanfeng.
Shen Sanfeng had just taken care of Shen Yang until he fell asleep. When he saw Gu Chan coming back, he asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Why are you back again?"
"Godfather, I'm kneeling down for you." Gu Chan suddenly said this, and then she knelt down in front of Shen Sanfeng with her knees softened.
Shen Sanfeng quickly reached out and helped her up, and said in surprise, "What happened to you? Why did you kneel down suddenly?"
"Godfather, I'm kneeling for the countless soldiers in the Tiger Camp. General Long asked me to collect money to buy medicine to treat the wounded, but I just went to find Fatty Ding and Wang Feihu, and they insisted that they were poor and refused to give me any money. I had no choice but to come to you."
Gu Chan's words were sincere and there was not a single falsehood in her words.
Shen Sanfeng was deeply moved when he saw the little kid in front of him who was so considerate of the soldiers on the border.
