Chapter 175 That’s like the sky falling
"Third brother, you, please don't make things difficult for Xiaoxi. There's nothing we can do about the pain in the wound." Gu Ping persuaded his younger brother, but this time it was indeed much more painful than before.
Gu Xiaoxi naturally couldn't bear it, so she asked her uncle to wait at the door.
She closed the door and pressed the sleeping pill on her second uncle's body, then untied the bandage on the wound and checked its condition.
The wound on the outside didn't look serious, so she used an instrument to check the wound inside, and there was no problem with the wound either.
If that was the case, it would be the pain of secondary trauma to the wound. All she could do was apply a thin layer of anesthetic near the wound to slightly relieve the pain, but it was impossible to make it disappear completely.
After spitting the anesthetic and bandaging the wound, she untied the acupuncture points on her second uncle's body.
When Gu Ping opened his eyes, he felt that the wound was not as painful anymore. He could still accept the current level of pain.
"Much better, thank you Xiaoxi," he said gratefully.
"Uncle, we are family, why are you saying these things?" Gu Xiaoxi covered his uncle with a blanket.
The weather was getting colder. She saw the clothes that Changsen brought back, and found that the cotton-padded jacket had two big holes cut in it by that wicked Zhang.
Even if she sewed it, there would not be much cotton inside, which was not enough to protect her from the coming cold. She had to make two cotton coats for her second uncle and brother Changsen.
"Second Uncle, I told the old patriarch today that he will sell the house you used to live in. You and Brother Changsen can live here peacefully.
There's land nearby. When everyone's not busy for a while, we can build a small courtyard next to it so that Brother Changsen can get married in the future." Gu Xiaoxi told his second uncle about this.
Gu Ping burst into tears after hearing this. He didn't expect that Xiaoxi had even thought of this for them.
"Uncle, you can't get excited now. Have you forgotten how the wound broke last time?" Gu Xiaoxi hurriedly persuaded his uncle when he saw him getting excited.
Why……
Gu Ping forced a smile and nodded.
Gu Xiaoxi also laughed.
Seeing that there was no movement inside for a long time, Gu An put his ear to the door and listened. When he heard what Xiaoxi said, he couldn't help wiping away tears.
Xiaoxi has thought of everything he and his elder brother want to do.
Gu Xiaoxi sat in the room for a while, and after her second uncle fell asleep, she opened the door.
When she opened the door and saw her uncle wiping his tears, she took the opportunity to talk to him.
"Uncle, don't delay your marriage. My father and second uncle are also worried about it!"
Gu An was stunned by Gu Xiaoxi's sudden words. After reacting, he said, "Xiaoxi, there are so many things going on at home right now. Let's talk about it later!"
"Uncle, don't avoid the topic. If you feel that the last one is too old for you, we can find another one." Gu Xiaoxi continued.
"Xiaoxi!" Gu An looked at his eldest niece depressedly.
Gu He came over at some point and walked over when he heard the two talking: "Xiao Xi is right. After a while, when things are less busy, Xiao Xi will go find a matchmaker and find a suitable person for your uncle and brother Chang Sen to live with."
"Okay, Dad! I'm going to sleep." After hearing what his father said, Gu Xiaoxi yawned and went to sleep.
Seeing his elder brother’s angry look, Gu An didn’t dare to refute and lowered his head like a quail.
"Listen to Xiaoxi on this matter. Go back. I'll watch over you in the second half of the night." After saying that, Gu He sent people back to sleep.
Gu An went back to sleep obediently, but he still felt aversion to getting married.
…
The next morning, Mr. Zhang didn't get up, and neither did Mrs. Zhang.
The eldest son of the Zhang family thought that the old man and his sister were angry about what happened yesterday, and he deliberately knocked on the door.
Mr. Zhang was woken up from a sweet dream and finally took out all his anger on his eldest son.
The eldest son of the Zhang family felt very aggrieved. He returned to his yard angrily and didn't bother to care whether his sister got up to eat.
Now, his daughter has gone back to her parents' home with her wife, and the yard is empty, which makes him feel sad.
At noon, Zhang got up and rummaged through her bag as usual, and found that her silver was missing.
This is unacceptable, it's like the sky is falling!
He immediately rushed out crying and making a fuss!
The old man of the Zhang family was still thinking that his daughter might have forgotten where she put it, and he could just find it later. However, in order to appease his daughter, he planned to give her some silver.
So he went to take out the silver bag from his pillow, but found that it was gone.
"It's gone, how could it be gone!" He shouted and fainted.
The Zhang family suddenly became chaotic.
On the other side, Gu Xiaoxi was so busy that she completely forgot about this matter.
In the morning, Gu Yuntian came with the buyer.
The couple were from the Ma family. They were both tall and strong. The man looked a bit fierce and the woman spoke loudly. They didn't look like they were easy to mess with.
After sizing the two of them up, Gu Xiaoxi said, "Uncle, aunt, you all know that my second aunt is not someone who is easy to talk to. If I sell this yard to you, she might come over and cause trouble.
But you can rest assured about one thing: after they divorced, the house was awarded to my second uncle. The old patriarchs of the Zhang and Gu families were present and can both attest to this."
"It's okay. If she shows up to make trouble, I'll take care of her. That woman is not a good person." Aunt Ma didn't seem to be under any pressure at all.
After hearing what Aunt Ma said, Gu Xiaoxi took the two of them in to see his second uncle and settled the matter.
After the document was written, Gu Xiaoxi asked Ma Weiwei to go to the city with them, and they got the job done in one morning.
My second uncle's house and land were not in a good location, so they could not be sold at a high price. Five taels of silver was the maximum he could get.
If the couple's son was not in a hurry to get married, they might not have bought the house because they had no place to live.
In the afternoon, Zhang actually came to their doorstep.
Gu Xiaoxi retorted, "You shameless person! The money wasn't lost at our house, so why do you come to us if you lost the money?
When you were having an affair, why didn't you let others know first?
Get out! If you don’t get out, I’ll beat you until you get out!”
However, after losing the silver, Zhang became like a stubborn donkey, sitting at the door crying and making a fuss, attracting many villagers to watch the fun.
Gu Xiaoxi wanted to hit someone, but was stopped by Chai.
"Don't dirty your hands, go back!" Chai didn't want the villagers to say that her daughter was a shrew.
Gu Xiaoxi understood her mother's good intentions, so she didn't bother with Zhang. She closed the yard door and let Zhang howl outside.
Zhang was also perseverant, thinking that this would at least allow Gu Ping to come out and take a look, but in the end the yard door was closed from afternoon to night.
Finally, Zhang cried until her throat was hoarse and she could no longer shout, and was then supported by her son and returned to the Zhang family.
The Zhang family is in trouble too. The old man has fallen ill, and his two sons have to go out to the town to ask for a doctor for him. Now the family is in a mess.
After Gu Xiaoxi had finished her meal and had nothing to do, she sneaked out to watch the fun.
