Chapter Thirty-Nine: Flipping the Table
Gu Chengyu looked around, observing the expressions on everyone's faces. Gu Chengli looked confused, as if he couldn't believe that he was really going to serve the conscription; Fang's face was also at a loss, this was a typical woman's family, but she didn't have an opinion; Da Lang was silent, and looked at his father worriedly; The eldest girl was expressionless, this girl has been like this since she got well, she is not interested in anything, she only knows how to work, Gu Chengyu guessed that she may have autism; The other three little girls were just concerned about the development of the situation, a little dazed; Gu Chengyi was faintly anxious, and the nervous expression on He's face was especially obvious; Two babies, all right! I don't know anything, I just know how to eat.
After observing, Gu Chengyu also knew in his heart, the old family was loyal and honest, and only listened to the arrangements of the family, it is estimated that even if Gu Chengli was sent, the Fang family would only cry, and it was estimated that only the second girl Gu Lan could resist a little; The second family was afraid that this errand would fall on them, and they were waiting for it, expecting his father to agree.
Gu Chengyu looked at his father again, only to see that his father touched the cigarette stick again, held it in his hand, but didn't smoke it, only stared at Gu Chengyi, Gu Chengyi was stared at by him and lowered his head.
Suddenly, there was a rattling sound. Looking at it again, it turned out that Lu Shi lifted the table, scattered the food and soup on the ground, and broke a few large bowls, and then took a small bamboo dustpan with needle and thread from the kang and smashed it in the direction of Gu Chengyi. Everyone was stunned, and before they could react, even Gu Chengyu was stunned. Before you want to stop it, it's too late.
I heard the sound of a stool falling to the ground, followed by a scream, "Dad, what's wrong with you?" Kill! Mother-in-law is going to kill someone! ”
"Daddy!" Jiro shouted anxiously, and the other little ones also turned white with fright.
Even Gu Wan, who was stubborn and refused to eat, came out of the house when she heard such a big movement.
"Quickly help the second child up and see if he is hurt?" Father Gu hurriedly stood up and divided into the Dao one by one. After speaking, he yelled at He again: "Second brother, you give me a stop, if you don't want to stay here, get out of here!" ”
He was also a little dizzy with anger, "What are you doing here?" What can't you say? When he turned around, he saw Lu Shi with red eyes, panting, and a hideous expression, staring at the second child viciously. Father Gu was taken aback, "Jin Niang! ”
Lu Shi ignored his father, "Second brother, do you want to exchange ten taels of silver for my son's life?" How old is the third child? You're only fourteen years old, and you can't bear to let him go? Didn't you send him to his death? Do you think you are beautiful, dare to calculate my son? What are you? Thinking that there is a little calculation, he will treat others as fools. I don't usually want to deal with you husband and wife, otherwise what do you think you can hide from me? Am I turning a blind eye and not thinking about it, but raising your ambition? If you dare to let my son serve in the conscription, I will dare to go to the yamen to sue you for unfilial piety. Don't believe you? ”
Gu Chengyi had been helped up by Gu Chengli, his hands were covering his head, blood was flowing out of his hands, mixed with the ashes on his face when he fell, and his image was indeed a little miserable. Gu Chengyu glanced at it, and didn't know if Yan was serious, if it was really smashed, how could it be good? And it's definitely not good to hear when it goes out, so his mother is impulsive. beckoned Da Lang to come over and asked him to hurry up and invite Li Langzhong.
Gu Chengyi covered his forehead, probably injured, and his speech was a little weak. "Mother, how dare I think so? I was thinking about how much money I could come up with at home, and then I would find someone to make up for it, hand it over, and pay it back slowly in the future. ”
"Dad, if I don't mention the third child, I guess the family is reluctant to pay the money, my eldest brother and I still have a wife and children to support, you all know the danger of repairing the river embankment, I don't know if we can come back if we go, is it possible to leave the wife and children to my brother to take care of? How many years can this be taken care of? ”
Gu Chengyu suddenly felt that what he said was particularly helpless, and he also felt a lot sad.
Gu Chengyi raised his head and begged Father Gu with his eyes, looking particularly miserable against the backdrop of his face mixed with blood. Gu Chengyu's heart was heavy, and he felt that his heart was overwhelmed by a big stone.
Closing his eyes slightly, not wanting to look any further, he paced towards the courtyard. At this time, the sky was already dark, the moon hung in the sky like a large disk, and the bright moonlight illuminated the path outside the courtyard more and more clearly. In fact, sometimes, life is just forced to make choices! Gu Chengyu took a deep breath and looked at the Changling Mountains in the distance, waiting, tomorrow, he will change the status quo.
The sound of hurried footsteps outside the courtyard gate, Gu Chengyu saw through the moonlight that it was Da Lang who came with Li Langzhong. Hurriedly stepped forward and welcomed people in.
Li Langzhong had already known from Da Lang who was injured before he came in, but the reason was not said. As soon as he came in, he was frightened by the blood on the big half of his face, put down the medicine box, and asked him to fetch a basin of water, scrubbing it first, and seeing if the wound was deep.
There is no hot water now, so Daddy Gu asked the eldest girl to bring a basin of clean water. Lieutenant Li Lang briefly cleaned Gu Chengyi's wound and looked at it carefully.
"It shouldn't be a big deal, it's just a long scratch, the wound is not deep, it's just a scary blood flow, I put a medicine package on him, and then I have to change the medicine every other day, just change it twice and scab it." When Li Langzhong came in, he saw a mess on the ground, and there were some blood stains on the edge of a small dustpan, and he also knew it in his heart, but he didn't know why. This Gu family is also eventful, two things spread in the afternoon, and something happened in the evening. Alas! What can this farmer do? Isn't it all about the money?
"Brother Li, I'm really sorry, I called you here at night, how much is this medicine?" Father Gu also felt embarrassed, he just asked the family to see the fourth child during the day, and invited the second child to see the second child at night, and his family invited Lang Zhong twice a day.
"I went up the mountain to pick up all the medicine, but I had to go to the shop to catch the main medicine, and it was estimated that it would cost about 100 yuan three times. It just so happens that you still have three taels of silver with me, and I will deduct it in it, and if it is not enough for you to add more, if it is too much, it will be returned to you. Li Langzhong was packing up the medicine box, and at the same time, he thought that the silver was definitely not enough, and if the Gu family didn't have the silver at the back, they would be allowed a few days of grace.
"If it's not enough in the future, Brother Li just has to say, I can trust you as a person. Have you eaten dinner at night, but if you haven't eaten, you'll ...... at my house" Daddy Gu was just about to invite Li Langzhong to eat at home, and when a familiar person came to the farmhouse for dinner, he would usually politely ask if he wanted to eat by the way, which was just a habitual question. It suddenly occurred to me that the table had been lifted, and there was still food? The expression is a little sneering.
Li Langzhong is not a blind person, let alone eaten, or he has never eaten, and this situation is not suitable for staying to eat. "After eating, it's not early, I'll go back, next time we drink a cup together, I'll come back tomorrow, I want to give medicine to the fourth."
"Then I won't be polite to you, I'll drink it another day, and I'll send you out." Daddy Gu said it was a gift, but he walked ahead.
Li Langzhong knew at a glance that Father Gu had something to say to him, and he didn't refuse.
Gu Chengyu knew that he must have asked Li Langzhong not to say it. Li Langzhong seems to be quite knowledgeable and upright, but he is not worried, but now he should be worried about his wife.
