The Doctor's Concubine: Kick the Scumbag King and I Want to Be a Dandy Girl in the Capital

Old Man Gong slapped him again:

"Why are you crying? You have no money? Ever since you became the head of the family, your house has almost been paved with gold bricks. Now you are crying poor to me?"

Gong was in pain and grief. She cried:

"Dad, I really don't have any money.

All the money I saved over the years was dug out by that damn girl Xiu Luoran, and she didn't even leave me a box. I really came back to borrow money."

The Gong family looked at her in disbelief.

Old Man Gong shouted angrily: "Tell me, what's going on?"

Gong then exaggerated the story of Xiu Luoran's seizure of power from beginning to end.

After hearing this, Old Man Gong grabbed the walking stick beside the table and hit Gong hard:

"I've been smart all my life, so why did I raise a fool like you?

I have reminded you many times not to leave your money in Xiu's house. Either leave it with me or with one of your brothers.

If it really doesn't work, you can just buy a small house and dig a secret room to hide in.

But you insist on burying it right under your nose and watching it.

You were watching over it, but it was still poached by someone else! That's someone else's territory.

You don't even trust us, as if we could covet yours.

Even if we spend a little of your money, it's okay. Isn't it what we should do?"

Gong sat on the ground with disheveled hair, allowing old man Gong to hit her with his walking stick without trying to dodge.

She was already disheartened.

Even though all her money was taken away by Xiu Luoran, she was not so sad.

Brother Gong thought that if the fight continued, someone might die.

If my sister died at home, the Xiu family would probably not let it go.

"Dad, that's enough, stop hitting me. If you continue, I'll kill you."

Old Man Gong then stopped and stood there panting heavily:

"From now on, you are not allowed to come back. Don't let the Xiu family think that we have taken advantage of you."

"Aunt, aunt."

Gong An ran in and said, "Aunt, you really came to our house? I thought the servants were lying to me.

Aunt, I have no money to spend, can you give me three thousand taels?"

Gong no longer felt anything. She just sat on the ground in a daze, as if she didn't hear what Gong An said.

She didn't say anything, didn't seem sad, and didn't feel any pain, as if it wasn't her who was beaten.

When Gong An saw that Gong Shi didn't react, he came over and pulled her:

"Aunt, didn't you say you wanted to marry the daughter of the Marquis's Mansion to me? Aunt."

Hearing this, Gong An's mother, Gong Sansao, came over:

"Aunt, you have to keep your word.

Our An'er has set his sights on marrying the young lady from the Marquis's Mansion. If you don't marry that girl to us, I will make you suffer."

An'er can no longer do that, and I don't know if it's because of the illness he got during that visit to Xiu's house.

If he could really marry Xiu Luoran, he would become the son-in-law of the Marquis's Mansion, and An'er would have someone to rely on for the rest of his life.

Then Gong murmured:

"That damn girl failed to cancel the engagement. She is still the Fourth Prince's fiancée."

"what?"

Mrs. Gong yelled, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I don't care. Since you said you want to marry the daughter of the Marquis's Mansion to my An'er, Xiu Luoran can't do that. Don't you have a maid at home?"

I don't want that idiot Xiu Erran, you should marry Xiu Yiran into our family."

When Old Man Gong heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up:

"I think it's okay. Let's just say it's settled. We'll send a matchmaker to propose marriage someday and talk to Xiu Yuanshan about it.

Go back and prepare your daughter's dowry. I know how much you have, and you can't afford to have less."

Gong was very angry and was about to say something when Zhang's mother came over and pulled her arm:

"Madam, please get up. The ground is cold. Be careful not to catch a cold."

As she spoke, she secretly winked at Gong.

Gong stood up, staggered and almost fell, and was supported by Mother Zhang.

Mother Zhang said again, "Madam, let's go back. There is a curfew in the mansion now. If we go back too late, I'm afraid we won't be able to get in.

If Madam wants to stay here for a few days..."

Old Man Gong cursed loudly:

"roll!"

Mother Zhang supported Gong and hurried out.

Gong had just been beaten, and her whole body was in pain. How could she walk? It was almost Mother Zhang who dragged her to walk.

Brother Gong looked at the door and said softly:

"Dad, my sister's things have all been dug out. Tell me, are these things in our family also done by the Xiu family?"

Brother Gong disagrees with this statement:

"That damn girl resented that the things my sister gave her were too disgusting, so she took away my sister's housekeeper rights and stole my sister's things.

She just came back from the nunnery. Is she capable of doing what you said?"

Brother Gong said, "She definitely can't do it, but her father and brother can."

The second brother Gong analyzed: "The things that my sister did as the head of the family could not be hidden from the eldest wife of the Xiu family.

With their abilities, if they wanted to attack us, they would have done it a long time ago, and there would be no need to wait until now."

Old Man Gong said, "Old Third is right. Your sister has taken so much. If Xiu Yuancang didn't acquiesce, she would definitely not be able to do it."

At this point, Old Man Gong was shaking with anger:

"This idiot, this idiot! He played a good hand of cards so badly!"

The third brother Gong asked, "Dad, will the Xiu family agree to An'er's marriage?"

"How dare that idiot disagree!"

"What if Xiu Yuanshan disagrees?"

"That idiot is a mother. A mother can make the decision on her daughter's marriage. It all depends on whether she is tough enough.

After being the head of a household for so many years, you should have some skills.”

Gong San was very happy: "Dad, strike while the iron is hot. An'er is not a child anymore, let them get married soon."

Brother Gong and Brother Gong also echoed:

"Yes, Dad, it's better to hurry up sooner rather than later."

"Okay, in a few days, I will find a reliable person to go to Xiu's house to discuss the marriage."

Old Man Gong was thinking that his house was robbed that night.

All the money and property in each courtyard was stolen, and everything that could be taken away from the accounting office, warehouse and utility room was taken away.

The family's shop and business were suppressed, the business lost money, and the debt collectors came to the door every day, making life very difficult.

This time, the thief made the situation even worse.

The little money each family had was also used to repay foreign debts.

You have to give up. He is a tough guy.

But that little money was not enough, so he had no choice but to sell all the shops, close all the businesses, and collect the money to pay off the debts.

It still wasn't enough, so I had to spend all the money I could find.

The family dismissed most of the servants to save on all expenses.

They went to Xiu's house several times to borrow money, but were driven away by the doorman every time.

Today, his daughter came to visit, and he thought their chance had come. He planned to give his daughter a warning, asking her to give him more money, and then the family would be saved.

Unexpectedly, she came to borrow money, which really pissed him off.

I tried every possible way, but I just couldn't get the money.

If An'er could marry Xiu Yiran, the dowry from Xiu's family would definitely be a lot, which would ease the pressure on the family.

……

After Gong left the Gong Mansion, she got on the carriage and collapsed inside.

Mother Zhang reminded her, “Madam, if you agree to let our eldest daughter marry your nephew, you should tell her to embroider her dowry as soon as possible.

If you disagree, you must tell the Second Master as soon as you return home. Otherwise, when the matchmaker from the Gong family comes to our house, even if we reject her, the reputation of the eldest lady may be…"

Gong said bitterly, "They are dreaming of marrying Yi Ran."

Gong An is a bastard who is incompetent at everything and is the best at playing with women. How can he be worthy of her Yi Ran?

After returning home, Gong went to find Xiu Yuanshan and told him what had happened today.

However, she did not say that she was borrowing money and was planning to continue lending it at high interest rates. She said that she wanted to open a shop to help support her family.

Xiu Yuanshan looked at her and said, "You still didn't agree to this, right?"

"No, I didn't say anything at the time."

"You're smart for once. If you dare to promise my daughter to that bitch from the Gong family, I'll beat you to death!"

After Xiu Yuanshan finished speaking, he stormed out.

As Xiu Yuanshan walked out of the corner gate, he ran into Xiu Luoran who was walking out of the hanging flower gate.

“Second Uncle, who made you angry? Why do you look like you’re looking for someone to kill you?

Tell me and I'll help you vent your anger.

We Xiu family members are not easy to bully. If you dare to bully my second uncle, I will beat him to death!"

Xiu Yuanshan looked at his niece seriously, and immediately thought of the scene where she beat Gong An in the garden.

She should hate Gong An, right?

"The Gong family persuaded your second aunt to marry your eldest cousin to Gong An."

Xiu Luoran hurriedly said, "Did my second aunt agree?"

"Your second aunt didn't say anything."

Xiu Luoran nodded: "Second Uncle, you have to tell my Second Aunt not to interfere in the marriage of my cousins.

But the daughter-in-law and son-in-law of our Xiu family are all surnamed Gong."

Xiu Yuanshan didn't say anything.

"Uncle, what are you going to do?"

"If we go to the Gong family, I won't marry Yi Ran to Gong An."

Xiu Luoran smiled and took off the whip from his waist:

"Uncle, it's not appropriate for you to go. Don't forget that your father-in-law is still here, and you will have some concerns.

Gong family, I'll go! I'm the head of the Xiu family now!"
