The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 39

Chapter 39 Flip Table

Gu Chengyu looked around, observing the expressions on everyone's faces.Gu Chengli looked confused, as if he still couldn't believe that he was really going to serve corvee; Fang's expression was also at a loss, this is a typical woman who has no opinion; Da Lang was silent, and looked at his father worriedly; The eldest girl has no expression on her face, this girl has been like this since she recovered from her illness, she is not interested in anything, she only knows how to work, Gu Chengyu guesses that she may have autism; the other three little girls are 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, okay!I don't know anything, I just know how to eat.

After the observation, Gu Chengyu also knew in his heart, the elders were honest and honest, and only listened to the arrangements of the family, even if Gu Chengli was sent, the Fang family would just cry, and the only one who could resist a little was Gu Lan; Afraid that this job would fall on their heads, they were waiting eagerly, expecting his father to agree.

Gu Chengyu looked at his father again, and saw that his father touched the cigarette rod again, held it in his hand, but didn't smoke, just stared at Gu Chengyi, who lowered his head under his stare.

Suddenly, there was a bang.Looking again, it turned out that it was Mrs. Lu who lifted the dining table, spilled food and soup all over the floor, and broke several large bowls, then took a small bamboo dustpan with needlework from the kang and threw it in Gu Chengyi's direction.Everyone was stunned. Before they could react, even Gu Chengyu was stunned.It's too late to stop it.

There was only a sound of a stool falling to the ground, followed by a scream, "Father, what's wrong with you? You're killing someone! Grandma is going to kill someone!"

"Father!" Erlang yelled anxiously, and the other little ones also turned pale with fright.

Even Gu Wan, who was originally stubborn and refused to eat, came out of the room when she heard such a big commotion.

"Help the second child up quickly, and see if it's hurt anywhere?" Father Gu stood up quickly, and said in a loud voice.After finishing speaking, he yelled at He Shi again: "Second brother's family, please calm down for me, if you don't want to stay here, get out!"

He was also dizzy with anger, "What are you doing? Why can't you talk about it?" Turning around, he saw Mrs. Lu with red eyes, panting heavily, staring fiercely at the second child with a ferocious expression.Father Gu was taken aback, "Mother Jin!"

Mrs. Lu ignored Old Gu, "Second, are you trying to exchange ten taels of silver for my son's life? How old is the third? He is only 14 years old, and you have the heart to let him go? Are you letting him go to die? Do you think so beautifully that you dare to scheme against my son? What are you? You think there is a little trickery and you treat others as fools. I usually don’t want to argue with your husband and wife, otherwise you think you have something to hide I can't do it? I turned a blind eye and closed my eyes, but I didn't think about it, but it fed your ambition? If you dare to let my son serve in corvee, I dare to go to the Yamen to sue you for being unfilial. If you don't believe me, try it?"

Gu Chengyi had already been helped up by Gu Chengli, covering his head with his hands, blood flowed from his hands, mixed with the ashes on his face when he fell down, his image was indeed a bit miserable.Gu Chengyu glanced at it, and didn't know if it was serious or not. If it was really smashed, what would happen?And it would definitely not sound good to spread it out, his mother was a little impulsive after all.He beckoned Da Lang to come over, and told him to invite Li Langzhong as soon as possible.

Gu Chengyi clutched his forehead, probably because he was injured, he was a little weak to speak. "Mother, how dare I think so? I was thinking about how much money my family can take out, and then I can find someone to make up for it, hand it over, and pay it back slowly later."

"Father, if I don't mention the third child, the family must be reluctant to pay the money. My eldest brother and I have a wife and children to support. You all know the danger of repairing the river embankment. I don't know if we go, can we still do it?" Will come back, is it possible that the wife and children will be taken care of by the brothers in the future? How many years can this be taken care of?"

Gu Chengyu suddenly felt that what he said was particularly helpless, and also a lot of heartache.

Gu Chengyi raised his head and pleaded with Gu Laopa with his eyes. Against the background of his face mixed with blood, he looked particularly miserable.Gu Chengyu's heart was heavy, as if his heart was being crushed by a big rock and he couldn't breathe.

Wei Wei closed her eyes, not wanting to look any further, and walked towards the courtyard.At this time, the sky was already dark, and the moon hung in the sky like a big disc, 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. Wait, tomorrow, he will change the status quo.

With the sound of hurried footsteps outside the courtyard, Gu Chengyu saw through the moonlight that it was Da Lang who came with Li Langzhong.He hurried forward and welcomed the person in.

Before Li Langzhong came in, he knew from Da Lang who was injured, but he didn't say the reason.As soon as I came in, I was startled by the blood on most of my face, put down the medicine box, and asked to fetch a basin of water, scrub first, and see if the wound was deep.

There is no hot water right now, so Papa Gu asked Daya to fetch a basin of clean water.Li Langzhong briefly cleaned Gu Chengyi's wound, and then took a closer look.

"It shouldn't be a serious problem. It's just a long cut. The wound is not deep, but the bleeding is scary. I put a medicine on him and it's over. Then I have to change the medicine every other day. It’s fine once the scabs form.” When Li Langzhong came in, he saw the mess on the ground, and there was some blood on the edge of a small dustpan, and he knew it in his heart, but he didn’t know what it was for.This Gu family is also troubled, two incidents were rumored in the afternoon, and another incident happened in the evening.well!What can happen to this farm?Isn't it all about the money?

"Brother Li, I'm really sorry. I called you here at night. How much is the medicine for this wound?" Father Gu also felt embarrassed. Second, his family hired a doctor twice a day.

"I picked this wound medicine up the mountain, but the main medicine has to go to the shop to get it. Three times I estimate that it will cost about a hundred cash. It just so happens that you still have three taels of silver with me, so I will deduct it inside. If it’s not enough, you can add more, and if it’s too much, I’ll refund it to you.” While packing the medicine box, Li Langzhong thought that the money is definitely not enough, and if the Gu’s family still doesn’t pay the money later, they can give them a few days’ grace.

"If it's not enough in the future, Brother Li, just say it. I can trust you. Have you eaten dinner? If you don't eat it, it's at my house." Father Gu just wanted to invite Li Langzhong to eat at home, when the farmer came to eat Familiar people usually ask politely if they want to eat something by the way, this is just a habitual question.It suddenly occurred to me that the table was overturned, so there is still food?His expression was a little awkward.

Li Langzhong is not the kind of person who doesn't wink, let alone eat, even if he hasn't, it is not suitable to stay for dinner in this situation. "I've eaten, it's getting late, so I'll go back, next time we'll have a drink together, and I'll come back tomorrow to give medicine to the fourth child."

"Then I won't be polite to you either. I'll drink it another day and I'll send you out." Old Gu said yes, but walked ahead.

Li Langzhong knew at a glance that Old Gu had something to say to him, and he didn't refuse.

Gu Chengyu knew that he must have told Li Langzhong not to speak out.Li Langzhong seemed to be quite knowledgeable and upright, so he wasn't worried, it was his wife who should be worried now.
