Gu Mingda followed Niuniu's words and couldn't help looking at Old Lady Gu.

Sure enough, Old Lady Gu, who had just been calm, now not only frowned, but also clenched her right hand, which was hanging down at her side, into a fist, as if she was enduring some great anger.

At this moment, Gu Mingda suddenly became very sure of his decision to split the family. The couple in the first house were confused, and the third house had such in-laws. The third brother was so cowardly that he didn't know how much trouble he would cause his mother in the future.

Gu Mingda cared most about his parents, wife and children. At this time, the Liu family was so arrogant that they angered his mother, so he naturally wouldn't endure it in vain.

He didn't want to care about the tofu shop at first, but since they were so arrogant, he didn't have to endure it anymore.

"Aunt Liu, your family is too serious today. Even if you come to apologize, you don't have to bring so many people." Gu Mingda said to Old Lady Liu.

When Old Lady Liu heard this, the doubts in her eyes were about to solidify: "What apology? Scholar, why don't I understand what you are saying?"

Old Lady Liu brought so many sons to the house, determined to help her daughter get more things, and she had already thought of the idea of ​​making trouble at home.

There are three branches in the Gu family, and the first branch is the eldest branch. Chen Chunhua's family is not easy to mess with, so Old Lady Liu didn't intend to argue with the first branch. She focused on the second branch. Gu Mingda was famous for being generous in the village. As long as she threw a tantrum and said a few words like "Scholar took advantage of his brothers", she would definitely help her daughter get more property.

The property her daughter got, rounded up, is not hers?

Old Lady Liu and the group of Liu family members who blackmailed Zhang Guangzong before are of the same clan. They are also Liu family members, and they also bully scholars. Old Lady Liu felt that it was unreasonable that others could do it but she couldn't.

But at this time, Gu Mingda suddenly punched her and hit her head.

Gu Mingda, who was always gentle and polite to others, suddenly sneered and said, "Aunt, your daughter stole my tofu secret recipe, you don't really think it's over, right?"

Lao Niang Liu immediately denied it, "No, it's not like you're the only one who knows how to make tofu, isn't there a tofu beauty in the town?"

Gu Mingda asked, "So, your family stole the secret recipe from someone in the town?"

"My family didn't steal the town..." At this point, Lao Niang Liu quickly changed her words, "My family didn't steal anyone's secret recipe, we came up with it ourselves!"

The tofu shop in the town just blackmailed Zhang Guangzong, and it's not easy to mess with, so Lao Niang Liu won't give people a reason to criticize.

Gu Mingda said: "You thought of it yourself. How come others can't think of it but your family can? Why does it taste exactly the same as my tofu? You still say it's not stolen? Originally, my mother always advised me not to care about it. She told me that as long as your family sincerely apologizes for the sake of relatives, this matter will be over."

"But now seeing that your family is so unrepentant, we won't separate today. Let's go to the government office and talk about this matter. Let the county magistrate come to decide whether your family stole my family's secret recipe."

Gu Mingda did what he said. He stood up on the spot and wanted to pull Liu Lao Niang's eldest son to the government office.

"Mom! Mom! Think of a way quickly. I don't want to go to the government office!" Liu Dashan, the eldest son of the Liu family, was almost crying at this time. He didn't understand how Gu Mingda, a scholar, could be so strong. He struggled for a long time but couldn't get away.

The three words "enter the government office" are extremely lethal to ordinary people. The stories circulating in the countryside are not about the great judges who make decisions for the people, but that if you enter the government office, you will lose a layer of skin, either being beaten with a stick or losing your family.

The most important thing is that Liu Dashan has been to the county before, and happened to see Gu Mingda coming out of the county government office, chatting and laughing with the head of the police next to him, and it is obvious that they are very familiar with each other.

Ordinary people don’t even know which direction the government office opens, but Gu Mingda has entered the government office as if he is going home. Who dares to sue such a person? Now that Gu Mingda has passed the examination for a scholar, it is obvious who the county magistrate will side with.

Liu Lao Niang ran over and tried to pull away the hand that Gu Mingda was holding on to his son, and shouted fiercely: "You have to go to the government office for such a small matter. Do you think you opened the government office? Don’t scare my son! We are not afraid of you!"

Liu Lao Niang couldn’t understand why Gu Mingda was so difficult to deal with when they were all scholars and Zhang Guangzong was like a fool.

"It's a small matter? Do you think you only stole the secret recipe? You stole tens of thousands of taels of silver from our family! This much money is enough to behead your whole family!" Gu Mingda said firmly.

"Where did your family get tens of thousands of taels of silver? Stop talking nonsense!" Liu Lao Niang retorted loudly.

Gu Mingda said, "Let me do the math for you. I don't know how much your family earns from selling tofu, but my eldest brother and third brother can each carry a load of tofu and earn at least a hundred coins a day."

"One hundred coins a day, three taels of silver a month, thirty-six taels a year, and three hundred and sixty taels in ten years. My eldest brother and third brother can sell tofu for at least thirty years with their physiques, which is more than a thousand taels of silver."

"My eldest brother and third brother all have sons. Sooner or later, they will take over. Their sons will sell for another thirty years, which is more than two thousand taels of silver. Their sons will have grandchildren, and their grandchildren will have sons, which will be passed down from generation to generation. What your family stole is not a recipe, but thousands or tens of thousands of taels of silver, which is the ability for our Gu family to make a living!"

One hundred coins a day, this is a number that can only be obtained when the market is particularly good, but at this time, no one corrected Gu Mingda's mistake.

Liu Lao Niang stared at Gu Mingda in astonishment, her teeth trembling.

Gu Mingda acted out a full set, pretending to be extremely angry, and pulled Liu Dashan to rush out: "The more I think about it, the angrier I get. If I don't go to the government office to talk about this matter today, I can't let go of this anger!"

"Mom, mom, think of a way quickly! I can't enter the government office! He has someone in the government office, and we will be killed by him!" Liu Dashan cried and shouted, trying to let his mother know the seriousness of the problem.

Liu Lao Niang looked at Liu Erni anxiously. Seeing that Gu Mingda was really coming, Liu Erni couldn't help getting angry, and pulled Gu Lao San: "Quick, Lao San, hold my second brother, don't let my family enter the government office!"

Gu Lao San hesitated for a moment and was about to step forward to hold Gu Mingda.

Chen Chunhua suddenly rushed out from the side and quickly gave Gu Lao San and Liu Erni a big slap each.

"Who dares to stop him today!"

Chen Chunhua's eyes were blazing, and she looked at Gu Lao San and Liu Erni with the same eyes as the murderer of her father.

"It was originally my family's money! Tens of thousands of taels of silver! All gone by you, a stinky woman!"

Chen Chunhua became angrier and angrier as she thought about it, and she reached out and gave Gu Laosan and his wife a slap in the face.

Everyone present was stunned by this change, and Gu Laosan was also very aggrieved. He couldn't understand why Liu Erni was the one who did the bad thing, so he was also beaten.

Gu Mingda's words were meant to scare the brainless Liu family, but Chen Chunhua, who was even more brainless, believed it first. She didn't look angry at all.

"Brother, please help me quickly and help me send all the Liu family members to the county government!" Chen Chunhua even urged Chen Dajiu to help send people to the government office.

There was a muffled sound of "thump".

Lao Niang Liu knelt on the ground with her legs straight.

"My dear nephew, I know I was wrong. Please, for the sake of my old age and confusion, please forgive us this time!" Lao Niang Liu burst into tears.
