MTL - Portable Space: The Peasant Princess

Chapter 24 Want to use her to pay off the debt?

 When Gu Panxia returned to Yuehe Village, it was already Shen Shi, probably around three or four o'clock in the afternoon.

Before she arrived home, she saw a group of people standing in the dark at the door of her house. They were either whispering or pointing. When they saw her coming back, some of them suddenly showed regret and pity.

 “Poor child, why do we end up with such a family!”

"Isn't it true? This Feng family is too stupid. This child is her granddaughter after all. How can she be so cruel?"

 “Alas! How pitiful!”

 I saw everyone looking at her, shaking their heads and sighing while talking.

Gu Panxia was confused when she heard this. What does all this mean?

She had no idea what was going on, and the more she listened, the more baffling she felt.

“Aunts, what happened?”

There were too many people outside, and she couldn't see clearly what was going on inside.

One of the women hurriedly said: "Oh, girl, you can run away before they find out. Your uncle is gambling and owes a hundred taels to the gambling house. People are coming to ask for the debt. Your grandparents and aunt are asking for it." I’ll use you to pay off my debt!”

 Gu Panxia laughed instead of getting angry after hearing this.

Use her to repay the debt? Do they still think they are the original Gu Panxia? Let them knead it into a round shape?

When the woman saw it, she felt that Gu Panxia was in trouble, "You kid, are you so scared? How can you still laugh?"

 Gu Panxia smiled at the woman, "Thank you for your concern, auntie, but I remember that my uncle still has Pantao and Panyao, so it's not my turn to pay off the debt!"

“Oh, you kid, why don’t you understand? Aren’t they obviously bullying you for having no father or mother?”

 Gu Panxia smiled faintly and did not obey and leave. Instead, regardless of the woman's stop, she squeezed directly into the crowd.

I saw Gu Dashan being held captive by several fierce men. His mouth was also gagged with a white cloth. His face was bruised and purple, and he looked very embarrassed.

But Mrs. Zhang and her grandparents were anxiously on the sidelines, persuading the big man and quarreling with Aunt Liu.

Little Baozi’s face was covered with tears, but he was so yelled at by Feng that he didn’t even dare to make a sound.

Gu Panxia felt heartbroken when she saw it. Her eyes looked at Feng with a faint cold light.

She pretended not to know what was going on and asked, "I wonder what you do for coming to my place?"

As soon as Aunt Liu saw her, she couldn't help but become anxious, "Pan Xia, why are you here!"

This child doesn’t even look at what’s going on, so how can he dare to come in?

 As soon as Gu Dashan and Mrs. Zhang saw her, their eyes suddenly lit up.

Mrs. Zhang quickly pointed at Gu Panxia and said, "Masters, that's her, that one is my niece!"

“This little girl? She’s so skinny that she’s not worth even ten taels of silver. You actually said she’s worth a hundred taels?”

The big man headed by him looked Gu Panxia up and down, his eyes full of disgust and disdain.

Looking at Xia Yanran, she smiled, with a sly look in her eyes.

“This uncle, I am not valuable. My uncle has a daughter who is fair and beautiful. She must be very valuable!”

When Mrs. Zhang heard this, her face turned pale with anger, "I...I don't have a daughter, don't talk nonsense!"

Those big men looked at each other, and the head of the big man's face sank, "Is what she said true?"

When Aunt Liu heard this, she gritted her teeth and said, "Masters, what she said is true. Gu Dashan does have a daughter."

 Zhang’s face instantly turned pale. She pointed at Aunt Liu and yelled, “You’re talking nonsense, I don’t have a daughter!”

Although Gu Pantao Ren is not very good, she has been favored by Mrs. Zhang over the years and has not done anything. Her skin is indeed very white, and she looks like a pretty girl.

“Girl Xia, don’t talk nonsense. When did your aunt have a daughter?”

Feng's face was also dark, and her eyes when looking at Gu Panxia were full of warning, while Gu Hong stood aside in silence with a sullen face.
