Chapter 7 The Situation of the Poor Man's Family
Lunch was also very simple, a plate of pickled vegetables that made Gu Liuxi smell uncomfortable, a plate of boiled wild vegetables, and a few dry pancakes.
Eating like this every day, she has to be thin like a lightning!
Gu Liuxi chewed the pancake in small bites, and traveled for nine days.
Aunt Song is not very comfortable, she has never seen much of the world, and in the face of a serious young lady like Gu Liuxi, she is not restrained, lest she behave rudely, and even her son will be despised.
However, Gu Liuxi's attitude was too kind and easy-going, and as soon as he met her eyes, he showed eight teeth and smiled gently, and often beckoned her to eat, although she didn't move a chopstick.
This Miss Gu not only looks like a fairy concubine, but also has such a good temperament, how can there be such unbearable rumors outside?
After eating, Aunt Song picked up a few pancakes and put them in the basket, Gu Liuxi saw it and asked, "Mother, where are you going?" ”
Aunt Song was taken aback by her sudden title, this is the eldest lady, why did she call her "mother"?
Gu Liuxi thought that Aunt Song didn't hear it, so she asked again, and then Aunt Song stammered: "Send food to my old man and those two children, they don't have anything to eat on the river." ”
"Oh, then you go and get back quickly, be careful on the way."
Aunt Song answered, and after walking out of the door, she was still wondering if she had heard it wrong, that young lady actually called her "mother"?
Song Yu took the dishes and chopsticks back to the stove house to clean, Gu Liuxi walked around the house, and found that the Song family had a total of three bedrooms, and there was no good furniture in the empty house.
"Song Yu, are you the only child in your family?" She asked casually.
Song Yu was silent for a moment, "I have an older brother above me, who became a relative a few years ago, and has a child named Shishi. ”
"Oh, why didn't you see them?" Gu Liuxi was a little surprised, could it be that the relationship was not good, and he didn't even show up when his younger brother got married?
Song Yu put down the dishes and chopsticks and looked directly at Gu Liuxi. He had to explain to him the situation at home earlier, and if she couldn't accept it, he would let her go as soon as possible, and he couldn't delay her.
"Stone has been infected with a strange disease since childhood, the eldest brother and sister-in-law take him around for medical treatment all year round, more than two months ago they heard that there is a miracle doctor in Jiangbei who can cure stubborn diseases, so they took the stone to go."
Gu Liuxi asked, "What kind of strange disease?" ”
"I don't know, I've seen a lot of doctors and I haven't found any results." Song Yu shook his head, and then said: "In order to make up the money for the stone's medicine, our family saves money all year round, and my mother's eyes are not good, and I have an injury on my leg, so I need to take medicine." ”
The implication is that the money spent by the Song family on treatment every year will account for the vast majority of the family's income.
Gu Liuxi thought in her heart, Aunt Song's eyes she found in the morning, probably cataracts, this disease is in modern times, surgical treatment is very simple, but in ancient times, it was ...... Although it is troublesome, it is not without a cure.
As for what the child named Shi was, she didn't diagnose it personally, and she didn't dare to guess according to the symptoms, and Song Yu couldn't say why. In addition, Song Yu's leg injury, find a time to ask, if you can treat it, you can help him treat it.
After all, because of himself, he was innocently implicated, and he had to mobilize a large family to make up a bride price for her, and his life was even more difficult.
Gu Liuxi lowered his head and thought about his thoughts, not wanting this silent look to fall into Song Yu's eyes, which meant another thing.
Is she really still disgusted, herself and this family?
But this is also natural, if it weren't for the fact that he and she were married, they would definitely not agree to marry her. What else would he do besides bother her?
Song Yu said in a low voice: "Miss Gu, if you think ...... We are separated from each other, you can rest assured, between you and me, I will never confide half a word, and ......"
Gu Liuxi raised his head suddenly, "Well, what did you just say?" She really didn't hear her.
“…… It's nothing. Song Yu clenched his fist and released it slightly. No one knew that after hearing that Gu Liuxi had no intention of making peace with him, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
