Chapter 5 Lu Yan's Help 1
"Leyou, where have you been? Why didn't you come back all night?" Lin hugged her and said with tears in her eyes.
"Sister, why did you come back just now? Are you hurt on the way?" Le Shu pulled her sleeve and shook her gently, his face full of worry.
Gu Leyou sniffed, a warm feeling surged through his heart, and he said in a muffled voice, "Don't worry, I'm fine. Next time I won't run around and make you worry."
"You are such a worrying child." Lin loosened her arms and looked her up and down. She was relieved when she saw no wounds. "Go into the house and change into clean clothes. You must have caught a cold from the rain yesterday. What if you get sick?"
"Mom, I'm really fine." Gu Leyou said with a smile as she changed her clothes obediently.
After a few days, Gu Leyou discovered that the wound on his brother's forehead not only did not improve, but even became inflamed and became more serious.
"Leshu, what's wrong with your wound? Didn't your parents get you medicine as I asked?" Gu Leyou asked with a frown.
"Sister, I'm fine." Le Shu answered softly.
"What do you mean it's okay? The wound has become festered." Gu Leyou blamed, "Or did you not take the medicine obediently?"
Le Shu hesitated for a long time, and finally whispered the truth, "I overheard my parents saying that they had no money at home a few days ago, so I didn't give them the prescription."
"There's no money at home again?" Gu Leyou became furious.
The Gu brothers did not separate. Although they did not live in the same courtyard, they were only a few steps away from each other.
The eldest aunt, Yang, was the housekeeper. Most of the Gu family’s income had to be approved by her before being distributed to the three brothers.
Gu Leyou's family has been bullied in the distribution of money for a long time. Yang took advantage of the fact that Gu Haixiong and Lin were easy to bully and recorded all her extra expenses in their account, and then found various reasons to "legitimately" deduct money.
Gu Leyou would have ignored Yang for other things, but this time it was different. Yang was actually trying to squeeze out even the money for her brother's life-saving money!
"Sister, what are you doing?" Le Shu saw his sister walking out angrily and hurriedly chased after her and asked.
"Go and ask for an explanation!" Gu Leyou answered loudly.
As soon as Gu Leyou entered Gu Haicheng's house, Yang's sarcastic voice came out, "Gu Leyou, do you understand the rules and etiquette? How can you break into your elders' house like this?"
"What kind of etiquette is there for me to talk about with a vicious woman like you?" Gu Leyou said bluntly, "Last time I asked you to learn how to write the four words 'disrespect the elderly', but it seems you still don't know it now."
"Gu Leyou, don't be so shameless!" Yang had never been afraid of anyone in a quarrel, and her tone immediately raised an octave.
"Stop talking nonsense and take the money." Gu Leyou's face was as cold as ice and his tone was aggressive.
"What money?" Yang frowned.
"Don't play dumb, of course it's the money you withheld from my family for no reason!" Gu Leyou said in a deep voice, "I warn you, this is my brother's life-saving money. If you dare not even give it, you will be involved in a murder lawsuit!"
"You silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about? I distributed the money at the beginning of the month. Now you are complaining to me about deduction?" Yang rolled her eyes and refused to admit it.
"If you want to spend money privately, you have the guts to use Third Uncle's account. I will never ask about it. I will never allow you to use my family's money." Gu Leyou gritted his teeth and vowed to get an explanation from the evil woman today. "Look at your rouge, powder, gold and silver jewelry. Which one of them was not bought with the money that should have been given to my family!"
"Nonsense!" Yang retorted without thinking, "All this is our family's money! I don't know where your family spends the money, and when you don't have enough to spend, you come to me and say that I distribute it unfairly, thinking that I'm easy to bully!"
"It's all your family's money?" Gu Leyou sneered, "Then tell me, you are all wearing rouge and makeup, but my family is so poor that we can't even afford to buy medicine for Leshu. Is this what you call fair distribution? The Gu family is all about brotherly love? It's a joke!"
Yang had no other skills except throwing a tantrum. Even if eight hundred of her were put together, they could not be as eloquent as Gu Leyou. In a short while, she was scolded by Gu Leyou and was speechless. She could only rely on tough measures to solve the problem.
"I'm going to beat you to death, you little bitch!" Yang's voice was sharp, and she raised her hand to slap Gu Leyou in the face.
At this moment, a big hand tightly grasped Yang's wrist, and a deep male voice sounded, "It's too unreasonable to hit someone when you can't win the argument."
Gu Leyou raised his eyes, his expression full of surprise, "Why are you here?"
The person who came was Lu Ting, whom she had not seen for a long time.
"Send a betrothal gift." Lu Ting told the truth.
He had raised some money these days, so he decided to send some over as soon as he could, to prevent Yang from getting anxious and causing trouble, which would cause unrest in the family.
"Let go!" Yang shook Lu Ting's hand away, rubbing her aching wrist while secretly frightened. She had never expected this hunter to have such great strength. If he started to beat someone...
"Dowry?" Gu Leyou didn't react for a moment.
Upon hearing this, Yang's arrogant attitude immediately returned, and she glanced at Gu Leyou and said, "You don't know yet, but your man owes me a betrothal gift of ten gold coins, and he has to pay it back within a month." She paused, appreciating Gu Leyou's shocked expression, "So, why are you still asking me for money? It's obviously your man who owes me money!"
"Let's put it this way." Lu Ting's voice was cold and full of authority that could not be refuted. "I will give you all the money I promised you, but you must also make up for the money you lost to their family."
Yang seemed to have heard a joke, "Interesting, you haven't even married the girl yet, but you're already worrying about the Gu family?" She looked Lu Ting up and down, and then glanced at Gu Leyou with contempt, "People say that you two are having an affair, and it seems to be true now. When I asked you to marry, look at the chaste and heroic image you put on. Who were you pretending to be for? You little bitch."
Gu Leyou was so angry that his voice trembled slightly. "Think what you want, give me the money, otherwise I will go out and spread the news that you bullied your brothers and beat up the younger generation. Don't forget that my brother's injury hasn't healed yet. False things can be spread into reality, so there's no doubt that the truth will not be spread!"
"There's no one else in this room. If you don't take out the money, don't blame me for being rude." Lu Ting threatened in a cold voice, but his way of threatening was simpler and more brutal.
"You dare? Believe it or not..." Yang was so angry that her face turned pale.
Lu Ting interrupted without any hesitation, his whole body was filled with murderous intent, "When people are pushed into a corner, there is nothing they dare not do."
The three of them were in a stalemate for a while, and Yang finally gave in. She reluctantly took out a few ingots of silver and gave them to Gu Leyou, but she refused to give in. "Don't think you are so powerful. You still have to bring me back ten gold coins when the day comes!"
After getting the money, Gu Leyou suggested that he wanted to go and check on Xiaoyao, and Lu Ting readily agreed.
