"My elder brother said that if you borrow it for half a year, it can be doubled several times. That's a lot of money! It's been two months since you borrowed it. You can get the money after another four months."
After hearing this, Gu Chengyu thought to himself, the first few times it seemed like he was giving some benefits, but later it seemed like he was fishing for a big fish with a long-term goal?
"Did you give any proof for the money you lent?" Gu Chengyu was afraid that He and Gu Chengyi would blindly put their fingerprints on the receipt. Both of them were illiterate and would be tricked by others without knowing it.
"What evidence? I don't know. My elder brother helped with these things. How do I, a woman, understand this?" Ms. He looked confused. She always gave the money to her elder brother and asked him to help.
She just wanted to get the money when the day came.
"Of course there are rules for loan sharking. Didn't you put any fingerprints on the paper?" Gu Chengyu thought of something. Maybe the situation was not as bad as they thought.
"No! I just gave it to my eldest brother. Why don't I take my fingerprints but not my fingerprints? My eldest brother will give me the money when the day comes."
After hearing this, Gu Chengyu felt that her two thousand taels were in vain. The process of issuing loan sharks had not gone through. She might have been cheated by others. Of course, it could also be that she was cheated by her elder brother. No matter what it was, as long as
He and Gu Chengyi didn't sign or have their thumbprints pressed, so they couldn't count.
As for whether he can get the money back, that's none of his business.
"Xiaobao! How did you say this?"
Gu Wanhua had borrowed usury money before, and Uncle Gu knew that usury money, whether it was lent out or borrowed in, had to have evidence. Unlike the He family, there was nothing. If her eldest brother did not admit that the money belonged to the He family,
If it’s given, then He can’t get anything out of it?
"There's no need to resolve this matter. Our Gu family didn't put any loan money." Gu Chengyu smiled. Stupid people have their advantages.
Uncle Gu understood immediately, and then looked at Mr. and Mrs. He as if he were fools.
When Gu Chengyi heard what the two said, he immediately felt bad, "What does this mean? You can't get those two thousand taels of silver back?"
Gu Chengyu ignored Gu Chengyi's call and asked Ming Yan to go to his room and bring out the clan rules.
"Uncle! Today's incident has caused great disgrace to our Gu family." Speaking of this, everyone forgot about Wang Yueniang who was still shrinking behind. When they mentioned it now, everyone remembered that there was still a trouble that had not been dealt with.
The Gu family has already obtained Wang Yueniang's divorce letter, but they have not yet decided how to deal with her.
Uncle Gu also sighed. He originally had to wait a few more days to hold a banquet for everyone, but he didn't expect that something like this happened.
"Uncle! You are the leader of the clan! You should know that there is no rule without rules. Our clan has a large population. If we don't come up with a charter, I'm afraid this kind of thing will happen again in the future."
"you're right!"
Uncle Gu deeply believed that Gu Chengyu was now the hope of the whole family. When the spring comes in three years, he might be able to become an official. The Gu family became a noble clan in one leap. From then on, they changed their family and were no longer a mess.
"I have drawn up a clan rule here and asked my uncle to read it. After all, how can I support the prosperity of the Gu family by myself? I am going through the thorns in the front for everyone, and I also hope that the people behind me will not rely on me.
Hind legs.”
Uncle Gu quickly took the genealogy in his hand and read it one by one.
While reading, he nodded, "Yeah! The examples are very detailed. Our Gu family didn't have many talented people in our ancestors. The clan rules were set by the big families. But now it's different. The clan rules have to be established.
.”
"Tomorrow, I will open an ancestral hall and ask everyone to recite the clan rules. If our Gu family wants to prosper, we must have some rules."
Uncle Gu is a person who thinks wholeheartedly about the clan. As the clan leader, he must of course put the interests of the whole clan first.
"No! Not tomorrow, just today. The clan rules will be implemented today!"
Gu Chengyu has already thought about it and established a new clan rule. He must kill the chicken to scare the monkeys. Otherwise, if the clan members don't abide by it, wouldn't it be a waste of effort?
Besides, although Gu Chengyi lost both his life and money in this incident, it was not enough to deter him. If he wanted to avoid causing trouble, he could only be harsher on him. He had also been more careful before.
Due to affection, the handling method is a little softer.
Now, he is also thinking about it. Some people will not think well of you even if you try to persuade them with kind words and speak your heart to them. In this case, then he might as well be a villain. The only way is to make him afraid of you.
, to stop it.
When Uncle Gu heard this, he raised his head and glanced at Gu Chengyu. His face was still the same, and his smiling expression remained the same, but he always felt that his smile was different from before.
He touched the clan rules in his hand and trembled slightly. According to the clan rules, Gu Chengyi had to be hit with ten sticks. Gu Chengyu was already weak. If he was hit with sticks again, wouldn't it kill him?
Father Gu was illiterate and became a little anxious when his eldest brother remained silent.
"Brother! What did the boss say?"
"I'm going to get a stick!" Uncle Gu replied softly after a while.
"What?" When Father Gu heard this, he didn't speak for a long time.
When Gu Chengyi heard that he was going to get a stick, he also panicked, "What kind of clan rules are these? Lao Wu, what you wrote alone are called clan rules? Did you get the consent of the older generation in the clan? Is it our turn to be the Gu family?
It’s up to you to decide!”
Gu Chengyi saw that Gu Chengyu was going to implement it today, wouldn't that mean he was going to have an operation on him?
"Ming Mo! You and Ming Yan invited some elders from the clan over and said that they have important matters to discuss."
Those elders are quite old, so they didn’t come even if such a big thing happened today.
"Lao Wu, you are determined to have trouble with me, aren't you?" Gu Chengyi was a little panicked when he saw that he really went to invite the clan elder.
Father Gu pursed his lips and said nothing. In the end, it turned into a sigh. He just hoped that the second son would not make any detours in the future.
"Second brother! People who make mistakes will eventually be punished. It's time to establish the rules of the Gu family."
Today, Gu Chengyu has decided to impose rules on the clan. If he continues to be so lax, something will happen to the clan sooner or later. At that time, he was in the capital, and a huge hole was dug in the back, and he had no time to fix it. Yan Guan was doing it
What to eat? One copy of this book is enough for you to drink a pot.
They waited for a long time before inviting the three clan elders.
"I told you, our clan needs to have clan rules. Changqing! Look at how your second son has messed up our Gu family. I can't even show my face when I go out."
"Third uncle!" Father Gu was called out and could only step forward to apologize.
Gu Chengyu met Li one by one and said, "Uncles! This is the clan rule drawn up by the younger generation."
Then, the clan rules were read aloud.
"There are no rules to restrain the clan members. I think it's great! That's it! We'll open the ancestral hall later." There was an uncle who had a bad temper and had long thought that he should be disciplined.
Although Gu Chengyu had just been admitted to the Juren Examination, if he did not properly restrain his clan members and wait until he became an official before taking charge, it would be too late.
Many high-ranking officials did evil things in the local area because their tribesmen were far away from each other and relied on having high-ranking officials as their backers. There were quite a few officials who were dragged down by their tribesmen.
