After being married off, she was favored by the powerful official

Gu Jin pretended to be shocked, "Second Aunt, what are you talking about! How can I accept your money?"

Li's face was gloomy, and she said coldly: "In the final analysis, you still don't believe me in your heart, otherwise you wouldn't have said those words to poke my heart.

I have been in charge of the shop all these years, so I am also responsible if something goes wrong now.

I paid the money for him, so let's forget about it, so as to avoid being laughed at!"

Li spoke with great righteousness, but the money had already gone into her pocket, so how could Gu Jin let her use her own money to gain a good reputation?

"That won't do." Gu Jin refused. "Aunt, do you think that I'm short of these thirty thousand taels of silver?"

Li and Gu Rou looked at her coldly. Is there any need to ask?

Gu Jin shook his head and said word by word: "What I want is an explanation and justice, and also a warning to the people in the restaurant.

I want everyone to know that if something doesn't belong to you, even if you try every possible means, it will all be in vain. The most important thing is to do your job steadily and be a good person.

Second Aunt, what do you think? "

How could Li not hear that Gu Jin was making indirect accusations? Her face was extremely ugly. "Neither this nor that will work. What do you want?"

Gu Jin lowered his eyes and glanced at Shopkeeper Qian, then smiled faintly and said, "He took the money, and it didn't go into Second Aunt's pocket, so how could he let Second Aunt spend money?

"Manager Qian, think carefully, do you have the money to pay me back? Or do you want to go to court for a trial before I'll obey you?"

Shopkeeper Qian was sweating profusely. Of course he didn't have 30,000 taels. He quietly raised his eyes and looked at Li.

Li nodded with gritted teeth.

She couldn't let Manager Qian be arrested by the government, otherwise she would be implicated as well because of his poor mouth.

I had thought that I could use the thirty thousand taels to at least gain a good reputation for being kind and generous, but this little bitch Gu Jin is so abominable!

Seeing Li nod, Shopkeeper Qian said hurriedly: "I'll pay, I'll pay!"

Li felt heartbroken. She had scraped all that money from Gu Jin bit by bit, and it was really hard for her to give it back all at once.

"Okay!" Gu Jin curled her lips and said to Xie Ran with a smile: "Husband, this money is something that was lost and then found again. I didn't dare to believe that there would be a day when I could get it back.

So, we might as well use it to do something good.”

Xie Ran's eyes moved slightly, and he asked with a smile: "What are your plans, Madam?"

Gu Jin thought for a moment and said, "I want to use this money to open a school in Beijing, where all children, both boys and girls, can come to the school to learn to read and write for free."

After saying that, Gu Jin glanced at the scholar and said meaningfully, "But you have to choose a good teacher. You can't teach the children to be pedantic people who can't tell right from wrong."

The scholar's face turned red when he heard this. He didn't believe that Gu Jin would be so kind, but the onlookers came forward and asked about the school.

Gu Jin said with a smile: "Don't worry, everyone. Since I promised it's free, I won't charge a penny. When the school is built, I will post a notice in front of the restaurant. Then everyone can bring their children to enroll."

In this way, she can not only provide a place for children like Xiao Chenchen and Xiao Shitou to study, but also accumulate popularity for the restaurant.

Kill two birds with one stone, perfect!

When Li saw that Gu Jin used her money to do charity and gain fame, she became so angry that she felt dizzy and her head ached.

Gu Rou supported the staggering Li and said, "Mother, let's go back."

Staying any longer would only cause more trouble.

Looking at the two people fleeing in panic, Gu Jin curled the corners of his lips.

There is no one in this world who can take advantage of Gu Jin yet!

The scholar didn't expect that Gu Jin would have the upper hand again this time. Although Manager Qian and the cooks were wrong, Gu Jin's aggressive behavior did not behave like a lady from a noble family at all.

It is better to forgive others when you can, but Gu Jin did not give the other party any leeway at all.

The scholar stood up and was about to leave, but was stopped by Xie Ran.

Because of his dissatisfaction with Gu Jin, the scholar also had some complaints about Xie Ran.

Not only did Xie Ran indulge Gu Jin, a woman, in showing up in public, he also didn't know how to admonish her words and deeds. He is totally unworthy of the title of the First Young Master!

"What's your surname?"

The scholar replied coldly: "I am Zhang Liang, may the general give me some advice?"

Xie Ran glanced at him calmly, his tone indifferent but sharp, "A gentleman should be strict with himself and lenient with others, instead of using prejudice to coerce justice into a weapon to hurt others.

This is not the first time you have slandered my wife. She is kind and doesn’t take it seriously, but I can never do that.”

Zhang Liang's face changed slightly, but he straightened his back even more. "Why, General Xie also wants to use his power to oppress others?"

Xie Ran chuckled, "I just wanted you to say sorry to my wife, but you started by accusing me of abusing my power, what else can this be but prejudice?

Besides, the true clean stream always ignores the powerful and wealthy, but you always talk about status and position.

The more you care about something, the more you want it. Because you can’t get it, it becomes hateful and you will get angry and embarrassed if it is touched. "

"To put it bluntly, it's hatred of the rich!

He can't bear to see others have what he doesn't have, so he wants to label all the rich and powerful as cold-blooded, ruthless, and selfish, so as to highlight his perfect quality of being incorruptible. "Gu Jin couldn't say these great truths of Xie Ran, but he was good at summarizing them perfectly.

Zhang Liang was so angry at the couple's singing of the same tune that he trembled all over.

joke!

How could a disciple of a saint like him be greedy for power? Everything he does is for justice.

"What will General Xie do to me if I don't apologize?" Zhang Liang stiffened his neck to defend his dignity.

"It's not a big deal." Xie Ran smiled warmly, "It's just that your words and actions really confuse me. In this case, I can only discuss it with my colleagues in the morning court."

Zhang Liang's shoulders suddenly slumped and his face turned pale.

Xie Ran's move was clearly intended to end his career path!

If he allowed Xie Ran to slander him, he would find it difficult to gain a foothold in the court even if he passed the imperial examination in the future.

Zhang Liang clenched his fists tightly, looking at the handsome and beautiful couple in front of him, with only deep resentment and hatred in his eyes.

He just lost because of his background. If he had a status like Xie Ran, why would he suffer such humiliation!

"Hold... I'm sorry."

These two words seemed to have exhausted all his dignity and strength.

But for the sake of his own future, he could only go against his conscience and bite out these two words.

He closed his eyes and clenched his hands.

If you can endure the humiliation for a while, he will definitely repay you double in the future.

Gu Jin shrugged. In fact, she didn't take Zhang Liang seriously at all. If he were in modern times, Zhang Liang would just be a keyboard warrior who was afraid to show his true colors.

Xie Ran seemed to be particularly concerned about this matter. Gu Jin even saw a chill in his eyes that were always gentle and smiling for the first time. "If I hear you slander my wife again in the future, I won't mind letting you know what it means to use power to oppress others."
