The one who suffered the most in this incident was Xia Qianqian.
If she couldn't set up a stall to sell meatballs, she would lose her income and her family would be left with nothing. It was said that poor people like them would go hungry if they didn't have a day off.
So Han Yuqing interrupted and said, "You can give more compensation as appropriate. The New Year is coming soon. Why make a big fuss?"
"Heh." Gu Changsheng sneered, "Miss Han, do you think money is omnipotent?"
Han Yuqing was speechless. People like them naturally regarded money as dirt.
"Money is certainly not omnipotent, but it can comfort people to a certain extent." Han Tangping also guessed who Gu Changsheng came for—Xia Qianqian.
It seems that the little girl holds a very high position in his heart.
Gu Changsheng said: "Uncle, you have a very insightful opinion. Then please go back to Pingning Town and solve this matter."
"I've been very busy lately as there are a lot of things going on in the academy. Changsheng, you've grown up and are in need of experience, so you should take care of this matter!" Han Tangping said.
He considered himself a noble man, but he was too embarrassed to go back to his hometown to deal with such matters.
"Uncle, you're too kind. I don't have the ability. I only promised the folks in Pingmin Town that I would send Wang Er to the county government office and give them an explanation." Gu Changsheng said.
Han Tangping and Han Yuqing's faces changed drastically. "There's no need to go to the county government for such a small matter, right? Dahai has committed a crime, so the Han government can just give him a lecture and then kick him out, and he will never be allowed to return to Pan County again."
"My uncle is really kind-hearted and considerate to the servants in the mansion. If this matter is reported to the county government, he will definitely be sentenced." Gu Changsheng said slowly, his tone as cold as snow water on the top of a mountain.
These words made Han Tangping extremely embarrassed. How could a master condone a servant who committed a crime
He stroked his beard and pondered for a while, then asked, "Then what do you think should be done?"
"Considering the reputation of the Han family, I brought Wang Er here." Gu Changsheng said, "I want to personally interrogate Dahai and ask him why he went to the restaurant to inject drugs."
Dahai, who was kneeling in the yard, trembled for a moment, and fell to the ground, shouting, "I beg you to have mercy on me, Third Master, and don't send me to the government. I accept all other punishments. But this is my personal act, and it has nothing to do with the Han family. The Han and Gu families are relatives, Third Master, please don't bring trouble to the reputation of the Han family!"
"You are quite clever." Gu Changsheng walked out of the living room, stood on the steps and looked down at the sea in the courtyard. "The Han Mansion is indeed a scholarly family. Even the servants have learned to be reasonable and cultured."
Han Tangping was embarrassed and speechless.
Just then, a servant came to report: "Teacher, someone has come from the Gu Mansion."
"Oh? Please come in." Han Tangping was overjoyed. It must be his sister who came. She would definitely protect the Han Mansion.
When Master Gu and Madam Gu came in and saw Gu Changsheng, both of the Gu family elders were surprised: "Changsheng, why are you here?"
Han Tangping was shocked: Don’t they know that Gu Changsheng came to the Han Mansion to question him
"Dad, Mom." Gu Changsheng pointed to the sea, "This person is the one who threw croton seeds into the restaurant yesterday. I'm here to question him."
"Is that so..." Master Gu looked at Han Tangping in an unfathomable manner, "Uncle, have you investigated?"
"We have checked and it is true. Changsheng and I are discussing how to deal with it." Han Tangping sighed. He always looked down on merchants and thought they were vulgar, but now he had to lose face in front of Master Gu. "A few days ago, I was scolding my sister for not managing the household properly in the Gu Mansion, but today there is a fire in the backyard. It's really embarrassing!"
