Chapter 333 It’s a beautiful thought
Why do they think I will give them money for what they have done?
Mother Zhang said confidently, "Your Gu family is so big, you can't even come up with a hundred taels of silver, right? Didn't you just say you had questions for us? If you don't give us money, we won't tell you."
Gu Qingyuan approached them with a calm expression.
She even reached out and patted Zhang's mother's face, making a "tsk" sound.
"I think you're thicker-skinned than a city wall. It doesn't matter if you don't tell me. I can get someone to investigate. It's just a matter of time anyway."
After saying that, she took a step back and looked at their expressions.
When Zhang's mother heard Gu Qingyuan say that she could go and check, she was a little flustered.
"What do you want to ask? Maybe the question you want to know is something only we know."
Gu Qingyuan found that the couple looked very ordinary and could not be found in a crowd.
However, how could such a person give birth to the exotic Lu Rui?
If you really want to pick out any advantages from them, it is that neither of them is short in height, other than that, nothing else.
Gu Qingyuan asked them, "Are you really Lu Rui, oh, the biological parents of Zhang Goudan, as you call him?"
If you put these three people together without knowing the truth, no one would guess that they are a family.
"Lu Rui? When did this kid get a new name..." Father Zhang next to him couldn't help but ask a question.
"I got it for him."
When he was in the slave market before, the human traffickers always called him "low slave" and "low slave".
Later, when Gu Qingyuan asked him his name, he said he didn't have a name. I guess it was because his original name was really not nice, and secondly, he didn't want to have anything to do with that family anymore, so he said he didn't have a name.
Mother Zhang's eyes rolled, thinking that Lu Rui ate and dressed so well here, and that Young Master Gu had given him a name, which meant that he was quite favored in the Gu family.
"Young Master Gu, it will take time for you to go out and investigate. If you let us go and give us two hundred taels of silver, we will tell you everything about him from childhood to adulthood, how about that?"
Two hundred taels of silver!
Faced with her huge mouth, Zhang's father couldn't help but be surprised.
That's two hundred taels of silver. They can pay off the casino debt and buy a small place to live.
It is still a question whether ordinary people can earn so much money in their lifetime. If they can really make so much money, they will be really rich.
"I think you have a beautiful idea."
Zhang's mother's expression changed and she said, "Then we won't tell you what you want to know."
"If you don't eat the toast, you will be punished with a drink."
Gu Qingyuan didn't say anything more to them. He ordered someone to come in, hold them down, and put them on the bench.
Then someone raised a board and dropped it on them.
There were long nails on the board. As soon as the first board was hit, before the second board even started, the whole room was filled with their screams.
"Ah! We'll tell you everything you want to know. Please stop fighting."
Gu Qingyuan then waved his hand and let those people go.
They hadn't eaten much to begin with, and now they were beaten with a stick, so they just knelt on the ground.
Gu Qingyuan found a stool to sit on, looking at them leisurely, "Go ahead. Tell me everything you know, no matter how big or small."
Zhang's mother endured the pain and said, "You just asked if he is our biological son. Yes, he is our Zhang family's son."
When Mr. Zhang heard her say this, a look of confusion appeared on his face.
Zhang Goudan was clearly picked up by them, so why did the wife say this?
Gu Qingyuan stood up and accidentally stepped on Zhang's mother's hand on the ground, and pressed hard.
"Are you sure you didn't lie to me?"
Even if it's a genetic mutation, it shouldn't be like this. It's impossible for a child to look nothing like their parents, right?
"I'm sure...Aaaaaah!"
Gu Qingyuan raised her hand and slapped her twice. Immediately, red marks appeared on Zhang's mother's face.
"You still refuse to tell the truth? It seems I didn't hit you hard enough just now."
Mother Zhang looked at Gu Qingyuan with fear on her face.
She had previously seen Young Master Gu being polite to the servants with a smile on her face, and she thought she was someone who was easy to bully.
But I never thought that she was just a smiling tiger, and she was not polite at all when teaching people a lesson.
"Say! I'll say it!"
Afraid that Gu Qingyuan would attack her again, Zhang's mother spoke quickly.
Gu Qingyuan then sat back down, supporting her face with one hand and resting her elbows on her legs.
"We picked up Zhang Goudan, but he wasn't our son. When we found him, he was floating on the river, wrapped up, on a bamboo raft. When we saw him, we took him down."
No one knew how long the bamboo raft had been drifting. When they found him, his face was frozen purple and he had a gold lock around his neck.
Gu Qingyuan listened to them patiently without changing his expression.
Father Zhang said, "Young Master Gu, what we said is true! We won't lie to you this time."
Gu Qingyuan then said "hmm" and asked them, "Did anyone come to look for him later?"
Zhang's mother shook her head. "No one ever came to look for him, so we just kept him."
They also have a daughter named Zhang Sanhua.
After Zhang Goudan came to their house, he not only ate a lot, but also grew very fast, and was even almost taller than their daughter.
They felt sorry for him when they saw him eating two bowls of rice in one meal, so they warned him to eat less and leave the rice for his sister.
As he grew up, Zhang's parents noticed that he looked different from other boys and had green eyes. A fortune teller said this was unlucky.
They wanted to marry him off, but because he was ugly, no one was willing to marry him.
Later, the family was really short of money, so they sold him.
After listening to it, Gu Qingyuan pieced together the clues he had obtained.
Since they picked up Lu Rui by the river in the village, it proves that he drifted down from upstream.
"By the way, you said that when you found him, he had a gold lock around his neck?"
Zhang's mother shrank her neck and said, "We saw it was made of gold, so we sold it."
So much time has passed now, even if you want to find the golden lock, you may not be able to find it.
"Besides the gold lock, did he have anything else on him at the time?"
The two people recalled and shook their heads.
Then, Zhang's mother asked flatteringly, "We've told you everything you want to know. When can you let us go?"
Gu Qingyuan said calmly: "Wait a little longer, I want to make sure you are not lying to me."
Mother Zhang said anxiously, "Young Master Gu, what we said is absolutely true. If you don't believe me, you can go to our village and ask. They can testify."
"I will send someone to investigate, but like you said, it happened so long ago that it will take some time to investigate."
