Chapter 584: Young Master’s Extra Chapter——(2)
"My fellow villagers have sharp eyes. If you come to my clinic to cause trouble again, I will not hold back our friendship."
"you……"
Looking at the majestic guards, the couple dared not say anything more.
"The clinic will become a pharmacy in the future. We hope that the elders and fellow villagers will continue to take care of our business." The man hugged the woman and said to the crowd happily.
"I've seen many shameless people, but this is the first time I've seen someone so shameless. Who dares to touch my clinic?"
A sharp and piercing sound rang out in the crowd, and everyone dispersed. Only a little girl wearing mourning clothes and holding a flower spear and carrying a tattered bundle came out.
"This is……"
"It's Miss Gu. Why is she wearing mourning clothes? Could it be that Doctor Gu and the others are really dead?"
The woman rushed over and said, "Yuxi, it's great that you're still alive. These people want to occupy your father's clinic. What should we do?"
"Xiao Xi, you are still alive. Uncle is very happy. In the clinic, you..."
Looking at the flowered spear in front of him, the man dropped his walnut in shock and said in a gloomy and terrifying voice: "Who owns the clinic? Tell everyone clearly, this is my father's handwriting?"
"Your father owes me money, this...ah!"
"How dare you, little girl, get out of here."
"Do you have the title deed and the house deed?"
"Your parents are in trouble. I definitely don't have these things for the time being."
"Since you don't have it, then don't occupy things that don't belong to you. I'll settle accounts with you."
"Settling accounts?"
In front of a group of people, Gu Yuxi took out all the documents he had collected, and there were four officials beside him who he had bribed.
"This is my family's house deed and land deed. My father's name is on them. My mother's name is on the embroidery workshop. The embroidery workshop was my grandmother's dowry. The one behind it is my mother's dowry."
"But your parents owe..."
The man was glared at by Gu Yuxi and was so scared that he retracted his neck for a moment. He didn't expect that this girl would not be persuaded by any persuasion.
"Uncle, do you recognize all the IOUs?"
"What?"
"On the sixth day of the sixth month of the Gengyin year, I want to borrow ten taels of silver... Apart from the accounts that have been written off, you still owe our Gu family thirty-three taels and fifty coins. Since you and my father worked together, I will give you a deduction and you still owe us thirty-three taels."
"How is it possible? This IOU..."
"Boss, I'll give you an advance of ten taels of salary. Here's the IOU."
"Also, my father and you invested in the cockfighting parlor, but my father paid for all the losses. When will you make up for your share?"
Gu Yuxi took out the evidence, and when those people were calculating, she said, "I owe you 78 taels, whether it's gold or silver, I don't mind it."
"This……"
The crowd couldn't sit still anymore and started to whisper, "Why does this family owe Doctor Gu so much money? Many of his shops have gone bankrupt recently. He must be planning to run away with the money."
"I think so."
"Poor Doctor Gu, he's such a good man, he often provides free medical consultations."
"Xiao Xi, this is something uncle forgot. Uncle Qian will return it to you, but you are young, so I will return it to you when you are older."
"Three months ago, you lost fifty taels of gambling money in the medical clinic. The house and the small yard where you used to sell medicine have become mine. Can you recognize the written receipt?"
Gu Yuxi put the document in front of the man. She wanted to take back what was due to her. It was better than seeing her father's bad friend being suppressed by his mortal enemy and having his things confiscated.
"Yes, I remember!"
"Take your people away from my clinic, and make sure all the things in my embroidery workshop are there."
"The things belong to Doctor Gu. There is no reason for you outsiders to seize them. Be careful or you will get beaten." said the officer.
Gu Yuxi said: "Even if the house is sold, it is me, the heir, who is selling it. The clinic is 70 taels, including the three rooms at the back. The embroidery workshop is larger, 80 taels. If you buy both together, it will be sold for 145 taels.
"Xiao Xi, this is your parents' property, you can't..."
"It's not the place for outsiders to make decisions about my family's affairs, uncle and aunt. I don't have any medical skills, so it's useless to run the clinic. Wouldn't it be better to sell it and get the money?"
Upon hearing this relatively favorable offer, someone immediately took out the banknotes and said, "I'll buy them all. Get the house and land deeds ready for me."
"make a deal."
"Xiao Xi, uncle knows you've been in a bad mood lately, but you can't sell your parents' inheritance at a low price."
"This is my choice, uncle. When will you pay me back?"
"Hey, uncle..."
"How about this? You take the two shops across from you as collateral."
"How can I give you my shop?"
"Then pay it back."
"Just wait for me." The man watched Gu Yuxi take the banknote and silver, then left angrily.
Gu Yuxi said to the officials cheerfully, "Thank you all for accompanying me. My parents asked the county magistrate to pay a hundred taels of silver for their business this time, but that was caused by bandits. How about this, I will give the magistrate thirty taels, and you can ask my uncle for the rest of the debt, how about that?"
"That's perfect. Give us the IOUs."
Gu Yuxi sold out all of her parents' assets in one go and resolved their debts. As for the internal strife and conflicts among those people, it had nothing to do with her who was leaving immediately.
Those people wanted to completely overthrow the supporters behind the official. If they took Gu Yuxi's money, it would be inconvenient to continue the conflict. It would be more practical to use the IOUs to encroach on the shops and farms with higher value.
"Let's all disperse."
After going to the government office to hand over the land deeds and house deeds, Gu Yuxi came out and saw the couple smiling at him.
"Xiao Xi, your parents are not here and your brother is missing. Come with your uncle."
"No need, uncle. I found a master along the way and plan to go to the south with her to try my luck."
"There is no such thing as a master. Don't lie to us. It's not safe for you to hold the silver. Let your aunt keep it for you."
"Uncle, have you ever cared about my mother? Do you regret squandering so much of our family fortune?"
"Xiao Xi, uncle...it's your uncle who is sorry for your mother." The man lowered his head in shame, not daring to look the girl in the eye.
"The money owed by the shopkeeper belongs to you. Now that my mother is gone, I will not stay in Mianzhou." Gu Yuxi handed the IOU to the woman with greedy eyes.
"No, where can a little girl like you go?"
"Don't worry about this, uncle. This is the last sum of money you get from the Gu family. You can do whatever you want."
After saying that, Gu Yuxi carried his luggage and walked into the inn without looking back.
"Husband, this girl is much more generous than my sisters."
"You are obsessed with money. My sister and brother-in-law are still alive. Do you have any conscience to bully Xiaoxi like this?"
"How did I bully her? She sold her house at a low price and lived in an inn. It was such a waste."
"Let her rest."
The next morning, the couple planned to take Gu Yuxi to live in the countryside, but they didn't expect the waiter to say that Gu Yuxi had left before dawn.
The couple asked all the way to the city gate, and the guard only said that a wealthy couple left through the south gate with a baby girl...
