Chapter Twenty-One: The Trapped Beast in Chains
Su Jin was much shorter than Gu Yu, and when he stood straight, he only reached below his shoulder socket.
But Gu Yu was dragged back by Su Jinlian.
After entering the house, Su Jin grabbed the two door panels that were randomly placed on the wall and slammed them on the door frame, perhaps because he was angry, he didn't get good for a long time, he kicked the door panel twice in anger, and looked at the two big holes exposed on the door panel at the end, and was so angry that he smacked the ground.
"What a shoddy! Kick it so badly! ”
After scolding, he turned his head and glared at Gu Yu, gritted his teeth and said, "Aren't you capable?" This door has been broken for several days, so you can't consciously find someone who can fix it? ”
"It's so bright and unblocked, anyone who comes can kick their feet and run in, and they can't even sleep well, for fear that people will be wrapped up and carried out by people and drowned in the water, can you feel comfortable?! Will you die if you fix it? ”
In the face of Gu Nier's unreasonable trouble, and in the face of the framing and swearing of Mrs. Gu and others, Su Jin seemed very calm.
But after dealing with those people and returning to a place she was relatively familiar with, she couldn't calm down.
Looking at Su Jin, who was so angry that he couldn't stop spinning around the room like a trapped beast, a helpless smile finally appeared on Gu Yu's face that had been numb for a long time.
Even though the emotion only flickered and disappeared, he still smiled.
He leaned his head on the pillar as if he had lost his strength, his eyes slowly moved with Su Jin's irritable movements, and when he opened his mouth, his voice was so hoarse that it was as if someone had just pried open his mouth and swallowed a large handful of iron sand with sparks.
"Angry?"
Su Jin was so angry that he grinded his teeth to death: "Nonsense! ”
Who can hold back such a bad thing and not be angry?
Gu Yu pulled the corners of his mouth sneeringly, looking like he wanted to make himself smile, but the corners of his mouth couldn't be raised.
He closed his eyes exhaustedly, listened to the cursing and crying that broke out next door, and said hoarsely, "But I'm used to it." ”
Su Jin experienced something that could be guessed once, he went over and over for several years, how could he not know the inside story?
It's just that the events of many years ago are like a haze that has always shrouded his head and will not dissipate, no matter where he goes, he will follow him like a shadow, entangle him, and torture him.
So in the face of Gu Nier's endless nonsense and crying, he had no way to say half a word of refusal.
Sensing that Su Jin had stopped, Gu Yu closed his eyes and said to himself in a tone that he thought was relaxed: "Eldest sister has been like this for several years, I have no choice but to endure her." ”
"It's just that I don't know how long I can endure it, and when it will really come to an end."
"But to be honest, your performance just now is very relieving, and it makes people feel quite happy to see it."
After a brief period of pleasure, an endless silence and suffocation followed.
Gu Yu has never told anyone about it, such a day is actually really difficult.
Su Jin originally wanted to ask while the iron was hot, but when he saw Gu Yu's face that was as white as if it had been smeared with eighty layers of powder, he suddenly lost his interest in talking too much.
She let out a deflated breath, with unexhausted anger to find the medicine and gauze prescribed by Dr. Wu, Bang Bang walked up to Gu Yu, raised her chin in disgust, and said coldly: "Go to bed and lie down, give you medicine!" ”
She has a rough and vicious voice, and with that still angry look, no matter how you look at it, she is fierce.
But it is such a fierce appearance, and compared with the evil words that keep coming through the doors and windows, it is particularly cute and pitiful.
Gu Yu really didn't have the strength to continue tossing, so he lay on the bed without saying a word, hugged the pillow and closed his eyes as a dead fish.
He probably thought he was dead.
No matter how Su Jin applied the medicine and bandaged it, he didn't make any sound during the whole process.
If it weren't for the fact that this person's chest was still rising and falling regularly, Su Jin probably couldn't help but put his hand under his nose to try his breath.
After finishing the medicine unskillfully, the scolding next door gradually became quieter, and Su Jin finally drew out a trace of his own reason in the huge evil words.
She put the medicine bottle on the side, poked Gu Yu's sturdy shoulder blades, and said tentatively, "Gu Yu, what are you going to do in the future?" ”
Gu Yu, who had been pretending to be dead for a long time, moved when he heard the sound, but his eyes were still closed.
"What?"
"Your future!"
Seeing that this person was still lying on his stomach like a dead fish, Su Jin snorted and started directly, relying on his brute strength to support the person and sit down, and said seriously: "You can indeed earn and afford the expenses of this family now, but in fact, you don't want to support so many people in your selfish heart, right?" ”
Gu Yu raised this family without complaint, then there would not be such a funny excitement to see today.
Gu Nier's scene today was very inexplicable, but the people who cooperated seemed to be extremely skilled.
At first glance, you can see that you are used to making trouble in the past.
Su Jin couldn't stop being angry after thinking about it for a while, poked Gu Yu again angrily, and said in a muffled voice: "In the past, she made such a fuss, and the old lady took the opportunity to say again, you must have taken as much as you have on you, and gave her all the money you can take, right?" ”
Gu Yu hugged the pillow and didn't want to let go, so she nodded without seeing emotion.
"Yes."
"Then you gave the silver because you wanted to buy supplements for the eldest sister to replenish her body, or you wanted her to use it for her son's study, right?"
"Yes."
"Did she spend it?"
Gu Nier's only son is five years old this year and just entered the village school at the beginning of the year.
Gu Yu gave a lot of money to his family, and he could live well in anyone's house.
But today, Su Jin took a look, the clothes on Gu Nier and Lin Mao were all ruined by how much water they had washed, and even the upper of their shoes had patches, and they knew that they didn't have enough money in their hands at a glance.
Moreover, Gu Yu only got the silver yesterday, and she rushed to buy such old things for Lin Mao today, which shows that her guess is indeed good.
On the other hand, Gu Yun had two children, one was wearing satin clothes, and he even wore a jade pendant around his waist.
The other has two golden hairpins on his head, and the jade bracelet on his wrist can almost blind a pair of eyes.
Whose money is spent on is clear at a glance!
Seeing that Gu Yu didn't speak, Su Jin snorted anxiously, and said bitterly: "You want to compensate the eldest sister for some reason, I can understand, but you can't just give the silver without thinking about it!" ”
"You gave the silver directly to the old lady, didn't that fatten up the insects and starve the poor peasants to death?"
The first time Gu Yu heard this statement, he couldn't help but laugh softly for a long time, and then lifted the corner of his eyes and said in a low voice: "I know, but there is no other way for the time being." ”
"The eldest sister obeys the old lady's words, she can't listen to what others say, especially what I say, it's even more bad, she said that if she is short of money, I can only give money, otherwise, she will go to the village entrance to hang herself."
A person who is forced to die at every turn is always in front of him, and the resulting persecution is powerless to resist.
What's more, Gu Nier has a five-year-old Lin Mao under her knees.
As soon as she said that she wanted to die or live, she must have dragged the child with her.
Such a little old child was so frightened by Gu Nier that he cried again and again until he fainted.
In such persecution, Gu Yu had no choice but to compromise again and again.
But no matter how much he gave, with Gu Yun's bottomless pit, it is always not enough.
Su Jin knew that this was the case as soon as he guessed it, and he patted his leg with his eyes and said, "As long as the mind does not slip, there are always more ways than difficulties." ”
"You tell me first what you think about the eldest sister and Lin Mao, let's sum it up together and think of a way."
For Gu Yu, sitting together so defenselessly and discussing something head-to-head was an extremely novel experience.
The novelty of the experience even overpowered his irritability that he didn't want to talk about it.
He looked sideways at Su Jin's serious side face, and said with a smile: "What are you thinking about this?" ”
"Of course, it's trying to deal with endless troubles!"
Su Jin hugged his knees and exhaled at him, rolled his eyes and said, "We are grasshoppers on a rope now, I can't get better if you don't stop, don't talk nonsense, hurry up!" ”
Under Su Jin's urging, Gu Yu sat up a little more reluctantly, lowered her eyes to cover the gloom and pain surging in her eyes, and said inaudibly: "My brother-in-law died because of me, my eldest sister became a widow for this, and Lin Mao lost his father because of this." ”
"So no matter how much she makes trouble, no matter how much she tosses, there is one thing I must do."
"I have to take care of their mother and son."
It is not simply to let their mother and son eat enough and not go hungry, but to do their best to raise them.
For this, Gu Yu must work hard regardless of life and death, and earn money by any means.
Although most of the money he exchanged for his life went into the hands of Mrs. Gu and Gu Yun, Gu Nier was unwilling to move out of the Gu family, nor did she accept Gu Yu's separate offerings.
She was only willing to be in the Gu family, and she was willing to be restrained by Mrs. Gu.
So even Gu Yu had to be trapped here, like a trapped beast with iron chains, watching his flesh and blood being cut off inch by inch, unable to move an inch.
