Chapter 548: Orphans and Widows
"The orphans and widows are very pitiful, but you shamelessly bully their mothers and sons."
"It's really intolerable, you will be punished for being so vicious."
Everyone condemned the old man one after another, and the old man's face was so blue that he almost couldn't get up in one breath.
"Be careful, Abel." Gu Mingzhu stepped forward quickly, supported the old man who was about to fall, and greeted worriedly.
The people around him were very contemptuous, and looked at the old man mockingly, not only did they not step forward to help, but they also fell into the well on the side.
Even the old man looked at the fourteen-year-old girl in front of him with some consternation, and said dumbly: "This girl, you are ......"
"My name is Gu Mingzhu, uncle, you can call me Zhu'er." Gu Mingzhu's innocent face was innocent, and her eyes were exceptionally bright.
Although the old man was dressed in plain clothes, his resolute face revealed a kind of refreshment, and the breath on his body also revealed the smell of books, which seemed out of place in these noisy crowds.
"Pearl? I don't know you, why are you helping me? The old man's resolute face was full of surprise, and he looked at Gu Mingzhu vigilantly.
The eyes looked at her as if she were in the same league as the little boy.
At this time, Gu Mingzhu disagreed, and said in a calm tone: "I came here to help the old man seek justice." ”
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and their eyes looked at Gu Mingzhu with sarcasm, what trustworthy words could a little girl who had not yet reached her end say?
Facing everyone's strange and mocking eyes, Gu Mingzhu stood aside calmly and calmly, looking not afraid.
Even the old man looked incredulous, looking at Gu Mingzhu with a frivolous look in his eyes, and he didn't plan to return the silver at all.
At this time, Gu Mingzhu lowered her eyes to look at the pair of mother and son who were tearful and crying out for grievances, as if they could see through people's hearts in their clear eyes.
The woman who looked at her was weak-hearted, and she said in a tough tone: "What do you see, I know that you are his foil, and this silver is mine." ”
Even the old man was skeptical, and he sighed and persuaded, "Forget it, little girl." ”
It's not worth it at all to bother with this pair of mothers and sons.
But Gu Mingzhu stood in place calmly, her eyes were as clear as water, and she stared directly at the woman.
"Little boy, I ask you whose money it is." A bright smile rose at the corner of Gu Mingzhu's mouth, looked at the little boy with burning eyes, and asked softly.
The little man was held in the woman's arms, and his immature little face was ignorant, and he was about to speak, but the woman glared at him.
"You little girl is uneasy and kind, don't scare my son here." The woman held the little boy in her arms and glared at Gu Mingzhu coldly.
The little man's face turned white with fright, and he was protected by the woman, but he didn't dare to say a word.
"You keep saying that the silver is yours, but you took this piece of silver from a woman's family." Gu Mingzhu said fearlessly, with an indifferent look on her delicate cheeks.
Hearing this, the woman's eyes flashed with a hint of emptiness, and she quibbled: "This silver is what I have worked hard to accumulate, so you should not frame me here." ”
"Since you have worked hard to save it, why did you give this little boy the only piece of silver?" Gu Mingzhu had a clear mind and retorted sharply.
Immediately, the woman was speechless on the spot, her eyes glared at Gu Mingzhu fiercely, and she said coldly: "You little girl has sharp teeth and sharp mouth, maybe she wants to bully us orphans and widows with his gang." ”
"I don't know this old man." Gu Mingzhu said calmly, his expression was calm, so that people could not see a trace of lying.
Everyone also looked at the scene in front of them with a smile on their faces, and each other's eyes were full of mockery.
"No matter what you say today, this money is mine." The woman spoke arrogantly, glaring at Gu Mingzhu viciously, as if warning her something.
However, Gu Mingzhu looked indifferent, not afraid at all, hooked his lips and chuckled: "Uncle, I just saw you eating a scallion pancake here?" ”
The old man was slightly stunned, nodded and said, "It was only after I ate the oil cake just now that I found that the silver was missing." ”
Then he looked at Gu Mingzhu in surprise, feeling that this little girl was not simple.
"That's right." The smile on Gu Mingzhu's face became more and more serious, and a pair of beautiful eyes looked at the woman, "This silver belongs to this old man." ”
"The little girl has to talk about evidence, what evidence do you have that this silver is his?" The woman was immediately displeased, and her face was dissatisfied.
"Then let the silver speak for himself." Gu Mingzhu smiled lightly, and her beautiful eyes were exceptionally bright.
Everyone burst into laughter, "The one who has the silver to speak?" ”
"This little girl is really good at talking nonsense."
Even the woman felt that Gu Mingzhu was overwhelmed, and said with a smile: "Then what if this silver can't speak." ”
"Then it's yours."
Gu Mingzhu's delicate cheeks showed relief, and she spoke softly.
Hearing this, the woman's face changed slightly, and she took the silver in her arms and said, "This silver is mine, and when it comes to this, I will try it." ”
"Little girl, what are you messing around?" The old man looked at Gu Mingzhu with strange eyes, and felt ridiculous when he heard what she said.
"Don't worry, uncle." Gu Mingzhu said softly, and then ordered Qiao'er to take a basin of water and place it on the ground.
Everyone looked at the scene in front of them with relish, wondering how this little girl could let Yinzi speak on her own.
In front of everyone, Gu Mingzhu stretched out her hand towards the woman, raised her eyebrows and said, "Give me the silver." ”
The woman's face changed slightly, and she held the silver tightly in her arms, "Why should I give it to you, it's mine." ”
"Is it yours to let the silver speak for itself." Gu Mingzhu said indifferently, and a light smile appeared on her delicate cheeks, "Everyone is watching, I can't snatch the silver if it's yours." ”
When they heard this, they persuaded the woman to throw the money into the basin, and the people around them began to stir up.
The woman had no choice but to step forward, and carefully placed the silver in the water, and suddenly a layer of golden grease appeared on the surface of the water.
"What is this?" Everyone was amazed.
"This silver belongs to the uncle, just now the old man ate the oil cake and had grease on his hands, and he accidentally got it." Gu Mingzhu said softly.
The sound was not loud enough for everyone present to hear.
When the people around heard it, they also reflected it, and their eyes when they looked at the woman changed.
In an instant, the woman realized that the situation had changed, glared at Gu Mingzhu viciously, turned around and pulled the little boy away.
"The money that the old man gave you." Gu Mingzhu squatted down, scooped up the silver in the water, handed it to the old man, and said softly.
