Gu Chengyu looked around and observed the expressions on everyone's faces. Gu Chengli looked confused, as if he still couldn't believe that he was really going to do corvee service; Fang also looked at a loss. This is a typical womanly family who just has no opinion.
Da Lang was silent and looked at his father worriedly; Da Ya had no expression on her face. This girl has been like this since she recovered from her illness. She was not interested in anything and only knew how to work. Gu Chengyu guessed that she might have autism.
; The other three little girls are just paying attention to the development of the situation and are a little confused; Gu Chengyi is slightly anxious, and the nervous expression on He's face is especially obvious; the two children, okay! They don't understand anything yet, they only know how to eat.
After the observation, Gu Chengyu also had an idea in his mind. The bosses were loyal and honest and only listened to the family's arrangements. It was estimated that even if Gu Chengli was sent, Fang would just cry. The only one who could resist a little was Gu Lan;
He was afraid that this job would fall on them, so he was eagerly waiting for his father to agree to it.
Gu Chengyu looked at his father again, and saw that his father had touched the cigarette rod again and held it in his hand, but did not smoke. He only stared at Gu Chengyi, who lowered his head because of his stare.
Suddenly, there was a crashing sound. Looking again, it turned out that Mrs. Lu had overturned the dining table. The food and soup were scattered all over the floor, and several large bowls were broken. Then she took a small bamboo woven bag containing needlework from the kang.
The dustpan was thrown in the direction of Gu Chengyi. Everyone was stunned. Before they could react, even Gu Chengyu was stunned. By the time he wanted to stop it, it was too late.
Only the sound of a stool falling to the ground was heard, followed by a scream, "Dad, what's wrong with you? You're killing someone! My mother-in-law is going to kill someone!"
"Dad!" Erlang shouted anxiously, and the other little ones turned pale with fright.
Even Gu Wan, who was originally stubborn and refused to eat, came out of the house when he heard such a loud noise.
"Hurry up, help the second child, and see if he's injured anywhere?" Mr. Gu quickly stood up and said something to the way. After saying that, he yelled at Mr. He: "You're from the second child's house."
Give me some time to calm down, if you don’t want to stay here, get out of here!"
He was also so angry that he felt dizzy, "What are you doing? What can't you say?" He turned around and saw Madam Lu's eyes red, breathing heavily, with a ferocious expression, staring at the second child fiercely. Gu
Dad was shocked, "Jin Niang!"
Ms. Lu ignored Father Gu, "Second brother, do you want to exchange ten taels of silver for my son's life? How old is the third child? He is only fourteen years old, and you have the heart to let him go? Are you not letting him go?
Are you going to die? What a good idea you have, how dare you plot against my son? Who are you? You think you have some small plot, and you treat others as fools. I usually don’t want to argue with you and your wife, otherwise you think you can hide anything.
Can you pass me? Did I turn a blind eye and raise your ambition without thinking? If you dare to let my son do corvee service, I will dare to go to the Yamen to accuse you of being unfilial. If you don’t believe me, try it?"
Gu Chengyi had been helped up by Gu Chengli, and he was covering his head with his hands. There was blood flowing out from the seam of his hands, mixed with the ash on his face when he fell.
It's not serious. What if it was really smashed? And it would definitely not sound good if it spread out. His mother was a little impulsive after all. She waved Dalang over and asked him to quickly invite Mr. Li.
Gu Chengyi covered his forehead. He might have been injured, so he was a little unable to speak. "Mom, how dare I think like this? I was thinking about how much money my family could give me, and who would help me get it together. I would pay it over slowly in the future.
return."
"Dad, if I didn't mention the third child, my family would be reluctant to pay for it. My eldest brother and I have a wife and children to support. You all know the dangers of building river embankments. I don't know if we can survive if we go there.
If he comes back, is it possible that he will leave his wife and children to take care of him in the future? How many years can he take care of them? "
Gu Chengyu suddenly felt that these words were particularly helpless and sad.
Gu Chengyi raised his head and begged Father Gu with his eyes. Against the background of his face mixed with blood, he looked particularly miserable. Gu Chengyu's heart was heavy, and he felt as if his heart was being pressed by a big stone and he couldn't breathe.
I closed my eyes slightly, not wanting to look any more, and walked towards the courtyard. At this time, it was already dark, and the moon was like a big disk hanging in the sky. The bright moonlight illuminated the path outside the courtyard more clearly. In fact, sometimes, life
He was just forced to make a choice! Gu Chengyu took a deep breath and looked at the rising Changling Mountains in the distance. If he waits a little longer, he will change the status quo tomorrow.
There were hurried footsteps outside the courtyard door. Gu Chengyu looked through the moonlight and saw that it was Dalang bringing Li Langzhong. He hurriedly stepped forward and welcomed them in.
Before Li Langzhong came in, he already knew from Da Lang who was injured, but he didn't tell him the reason. As soon as he came in, he was startled by the blood covering most of his face. He put down the medicine box and asked him to fetch a basin of water and wash it first.
Check to see if the wound is deep.
There was no hot water now, so Father Gu asked Daya to bring a basin of water over. Langzhong Li briefly cleaned Gu Chengyi's wound and then took a closer look.
"It shouldn't be anything serious. It's just a long scratch. The wound is not deep, but the blood is terrible. I put a medicine bag on him and that's it. Then I have to change the medicine every other day and put on two
It'll be fine once the scabs form." When Mr. Li came in, he saw a mess on the ground, and there was some blood on the edge of a small dustpan. He knew it, but he didn't know what it was for. The Gu family was also in troubled times, and two things happened in the afternoon.
The news spread like wildfire, and something happened again in the evening. Alas! What could happen to this farmer's family? Isn't it all about the money?
"Brother Li, I'm so sorry for calling you here so late at night. How much does this medicine cost?" Dad Gu also felt embarrassed. He had just let someone see the fourth child during the day, and then invited the old man to see him again in the evening.
Second, his family hired a doctor twice a day.
"I went up the mountain to get the medicine, but I had to go to the shop to get the main medicine. Three times I estimated it would cost about a hundred cents. It just so happens that you still have three taels of silver with me, so I'll keep it there.
If it's not enough, you can add more, and if it's too much, I'll give it back to you." While packing the medicine box, Mr. Li was thinking that the money would definitely not be enough, and if the Gu family couldn't come up with the money later, they could give them a few days of grace.
"If it's not enough in the future, Brother Li, just tell me, I can trust you as a person. Have you had dinner? If not, it's at my house." Mr. Gu was just about to invite Mr. Li to have something at home when he came to the farm to get acquainted with him.
People usually ask politely if they want to eat something on the way. This is just a habitual question. Then it suddenly occurred to me that the table was overturned, so how could there be food? The look on his face was a bit embarrassing.
Mr. Li is not the one who has no expressions. Even if he has not eaten, it is not suitable to stay for dinner. "After eating, it is getting late, so I will go back. I'll see you next time."
Let's have a drink together. I'll come back tomorrow to give the fourth child some medicine."
"Then I won't be polite to you. If you drink another day, I'll send you out." Dad Gu said he was sending you off, but he walked ahead.
Li Langzhong knew at a glance that Father Gu had something to say to him, and he did not refuse.
Gu Chengyu knew that he must have told Mr. Li not to tell anyone. Mr. Li seemed to be quite knowledgeable and upright, so he was not worried. It was his mother who should be worried now.
