Hu Fangfang was not nervous at all when she heard him ask this. She had already thought of her words when she was beaten.

Because she knew that Gu Jinzhong would definitely ask about the price.

"The first one was indeed sold for fifteen taels, and the second one was sold for twenty taels, but I only got 23 taels, and the rest of the money went to the middleman."

"middleman?"

"Ah."

Hu Fangfang nodded and continued to ask: "The middleman is a lady named Chen. Without her introduction, my clothes would not be sold at all."

"In those big silk and satin shops and ready-to-wear shops, people themselves sell clothes. If they don't have any acquaintances, how can they accept my clothes?"

"Fifteen taels and twenty taels are the prices that Madam Chen has negotiated with the shopkeeper of the silk and satin shop."

"After Mrs. Chen got the money, she gave me more than two taels the first time, and more than three taels the second time. I gave them all to you."

"Although she earns a lot from kickbacks, if I leave her, I won't be able to sell clothes."

"So, I can only watch her take kickbacks."

Gu Jinzhong frowned: "Why didn't you tell me before?"

"I don't want you to worry. After all, you can't solve it even if I tell you. I just have one more person to worry about with me."

"Brother Gu, I didn't hide it from you on purpose. I really didn't want you to worry."

"can you forgive me?"

"I have never lied to you. I really want to live a good life with you."

"I didn't expect that just making two clothes based on Lin's will cause such a big disaster. I know I was wrong."

"Ms. Lin is right. If I didn't copy her clothes, the clothes I made wouldn't be able to sell at a high price."

Hu Fangfang kept her posture very low, spoke softly, and kept apologizing, which made it difficult for Gu Jinzhong to keep a straight face.

"Okay, this matter is over, don't make clothes anymore."

"We will farm at home honestly and take time to go to town to sell wooden hairpins."

"It's okay if the days are tiring and painful. We can't leave anyone with a reason to say anything. We want to live a clean life."

"Otherwise, our children will also be affected in the future."

Hu Fangfang nodded obediently, but she felt extremely contemptuous in her heart.

Pooh!

Who wants to live a hard life with you?

Dream on you!

After this incident, Hu Fangfang felt more and more that marrying Gu Jinzhong was a wrong decision.

This man is unreliable, and it would be even harder to make money from him than in the sky.

It would be better to steal Lin Shuangshuang's sketches, make a lot of money, and then leave Qingshui Town completely with the money.

She didn't believe that there was no place for her in the vastness of the world!

After making up her mind, she turned her attention to Chunmei who was busy in the kitchen.

As long as she succeeds this time, she can completely change her destiny!

Even if Xinglong Silk and Satin Factory dare not accept her sketch, there are other people who know the goods.

Gu Jinzhong was in a daze with deep thoughts and did not pay attention to Hu Fangfang's expression. Naturally, he had no idea what she was planning.

"Tomorrow, you and I will go to my sister-in-law's house. We will come to apologize in person and return the money to her."

"Repay the money?" Hu Fangfang looked puzzled?

"Well, I still have fifty taels of silver here. Although I don't know how much loss those two pieces of clothes will bring to my siblings, this is all the money the family has."

"My siblings don't mention compensation, so we can't pretend to be stupid."

Hu Fangfang knew that the matter of fifty taels of silver could no longer be hidden soon, so she thought of how to frame the matter more perfectly on Chunmei.

"I'm going early tomorrow morning. Can I wait until the afternoon?"

Gu Jinzhong was puzzled: "Are you busy this morning?"

"I'm going to town."

"What are you doing in town again?"

Hu Fangfang suddenly covered her stomach and said, "The aunts just hit me in the stomach. My stomach is a little tight now."

"I want to go to the town early tomorrow morning to have a look. I'm afraid something might happen to the baby in my belly if I delay for too long."

"So I'm thinking of going to the town early tomorrow morning to see a doctor and prescribe some miscarriage medicine."

"So that when I go to apologize in the afternoon, Mrs. Lin and her mother-in-law will beat and scold her and cause fetal irritation."

"It's better to have miscarriage medicine ready than to be helpless when something goes wrong."

Gu Jinzhong immediately became nervous when he heard she said she had an upset stomach: "Why don't you go and ask your siblings to check on you now?"

Hu Fangfang shook her head: "How can I have the shame to go?"

"Besides, she hates me so much. Even if I shamelessly ask her, she won't help me."

"Don't worry, I'm not red. I'm just a little uncomfortable. I'll be fine for a while. I can wait until tomorrow morning."

Gu Jinzhong sighed and could only nod. After all, he had no shame in letting Lin Shuangshuang treat Hu Fangfang.

"Just lie down and rest. Don't move. I'll ask Chunmei to bring you food later."

"Ah."

Early the next morning, Gu Jinzhong took out a piece of silver from his purse and handed it to her, asking her to go to town to get some medicine.

"Brother Gu, you can go back. You don't have to accompany me."

Gu Jinzhong insisted on waiting for the bullock cart with her at the entrance of the village. He was mainly afraid that what happened yesterday would happen and the villagers would not let her ride in the bullock cart.

She already had a stomachache, and if she walked on the mountain road for another two hours, she was afraid something would happen on the road.

Sure enough, no one on the bullock cart was willing to let Hu Fangfang ride with him.

Gu Jinzhong was driving the bullock cart to Uncle Wang, who was willing to give her money and put in good words, so he allowed her to get on the cart.

When the women in the car heard that Hu Fangfang felt uncomfortable in her stomach, they couldn't stop her.

If it is true that they did not allow the abortion in the bullock cart, it is their fault.

When Hu Fangfang came back from town with the fetal medicine, Gu Jinzhong stared at her with an ugly face, as if he wanted to kill someone.

Hu Fangfang's expression changed: "Brother Gu, what's wrong with you?"

Gu Jinzhong asked straight to the point: "Did you steal the money?"

Hu Fangfang pretended to be innocent and confused, and asked: "What money?"

"Did you steal the fifty taels of silver at home?"

Hu Fangfang was stunned for a moment, and then quickly denied: "I didn't, how could I steal the family's money?"

"Why am I stealing money from my family so well?"

"How dare I come back after I stole the money?"

"Brother Gu, what happened? Did you lose all your money?"

"Were there many people yesterday?"

"How about we report it to the official?"

"These fifty taels are all our family's belongings. This is money to apologize to Mrs. Lin. How can this be done..."

Hu Fangfang burst into tears and clamored to report to the official.

Chunmei stood nearby and shivered with fear. She knew that all this was a plan of a bad woman, and her father would soon know that she had stolen the money.

Gu Jinzhong saw that Hu Fangfang didn't look like she was lying, and she was the one who asked to report to the official.

If she stole the money, she would definitely not dare to report it to the official. What's more, if she stole the money, why would she come back?

Suddenly, he saw Chunmei shivering next to him, and suddenly shouted angrily: "Chunmei, why are you shaking?"

"Did you steal the money?"
