Chapter 14 Chang Xixi gets angry
Dou received a message from the head of the family that evening and knew what Chang Da was thinking.
I don't know how Second Aunt found out that Gu Rongyu copied books in a bookstore and earned at least one or two taels of silver a month. She was so jealous that her eyes turned red.
I was thinking about how to keep the money for myself, but I couldn't think of any solution. I had to grit my teeth and feed mosquitoes in the broken yard.
After a few days, Gu Rongyu actually finished copying all three books. Chang Xixi always felt that with his slow pace, it would take at least half a month.
When going to the bookstore to report, Chang Xixi wanted to go with him, but Gu Rongyu felt that he was capable and refused no matter what he said, so he had to let him go alone.
Gu Rongyu got on the ox cart with Xiao Lanhua's package and disappeared into the crowd as he entered the city. His dark shadow flashed across the roofs and trees on the streets, leaving behind a gust of breeze.
In the backyard of a shop in the city, Gu Rongyu was sitting on a stool with a package in his hand, which was a book he had copied. The owner of the bookstore was kneeling on the ground.
"I didn't handle the Young Master's last incident well. Please don't be angry."
"Get up and talk."
"yes."
The bookstore owner stood up tremblingly and glanced at the dark figure behind Gu Rongyu who was still breathing heavily.
Gu Rongyu handed the books to the bookstore owner and said, "Take these and buy them as usual. Give me the normal price. My plans have changed and I can't leave for the time being."
"Young Master! The general's grievances are still waiting for you to redress them. How can you let your romantic feelings hold you back?"
The boss of the bookstore thought that Gu Rongyu fell in love with the heroine. This great revenge has not been avenged yet, which is not a good time! He also values Chang Xixi's ability to stand up and uphold justice for the young master.
Gu Rongyu was silent for a while, "There's no rush. It's just that I won't show up, and the other plans remain unchanged. Don't worry about me for now." Before he finished speaking, Gu Rongyu started coughing violently, and his face became even paler.
"I understand."
The black shadow hurriedly stepped forward and took out a pill and handed it to Gu Rongyu. He swallowed it with tea, adjusted his breathing, and found that some of his meridians that had been corroded by the poison were miraculously recovering.
He glanced at the shadow and asked, "Did you change the ingredients of the medicine?"
"Young Master, you are very perceptive. If you don't tell me, how dare I make any changes? It will remain the same as before, with no difference. It will not aggravate the effects of the toxins in your body, nor will it completely eliminate them." The black shadow did not lie. He was afraid that there was something wrong with the medicine, so he took one himself and tried the taste. There was indeed nothing wrong with it.
Gu Rongyu couldn't help but think of how Chang Xixi always liked to pour him water and she had to see him drink it all every time.
The second son of the Chang family was also half-paralyzed and was about to die. During the days he lived in the Chang family, Chang Hai's spirits got better day by day. A few days ago, he was even able to walk a few steps on the ground with the help of crutches.
Could it be that Chang Xixi really knows some miracle doctor?
He waved the shadow closer to his ear and said, "Go check on her again."
"Master, are you talking about the young mistress? I dare not. If any spy is found out, you will be very sad. I think she is very loyal to you." The black shadow took a step back and would never go away. The young master would cover his mistress with a quilt when he woke up at night. How sweet it was.
Gu Rongyu had no choice but to give up, it was not an urgent matter.
Chang Xixi has been annoyed by her second aunt these days. She always argues with her for no reason. Dou Shi doesn't usually let her do housework.
The second aunt stood aside and gossiped, saying that Chang Xixi was unfilial and acted like the boss at home. This made Chang Xixi so angry that her teeth were itching. If it weren't for Dou's favor, she would have been kicked out long ago.
Gu Rongyu came back just as it was getting dark, carrying a large bag of books. Chang Xixi followed him into the house, closed the door, and gave the money he had earned to Chang Xixi.
Touching the shiny silver ingot, Chang Xixi's mouth curled up, his eyes were full of brilliance, and he looked like a money-grubber.
"Husband, hehe, I didn't expect you to make so much money. You're so careless, I'll give you extra food tomorrow so you can copy the book well."
Chang Xixi happily hid the money in the wooden box, then secretly placed it on the bedside, and then happily went to the kitchen for a snack.
As soon as the person left, the dark shadow on the beam came down habitually to grind ink for Gu Rongyu, "Didn't you see that the young lady is such a money-grubber! She's so happy over a tael of silver. If she knew you were actually very rich, she would be so happy."
Gu Rongyu nodded in affirmation, "Yeah."
Dou asked He Changsheng, who was in charge of the household at the end of the month, to go home to help renovate Gu Rongyu's dilapidated house. She also told Chang Xixi and asked her if she wanted to hire some more temporary workers.
"Mom, how much does it cost to hire a temporary worker? I'm afraid I don't have enough money." Chang Xixi is not short of money, but she is afraid of being poor. She thinks that being thrifty and practical in everything she does is the best.
"It's not expensive. We can exchange work with them and pay them twenty cents a day." Dou said with a smile. She put the fish into the pot, which made crackling sounds and the aroma spread far away.
The second aunt, smelling the smell, instantly knew that Gu Rongyu had brought back money from the city, and her heart itched like a cat's scratch. The Chang family, who had never seen meat in their home for many years, not only had meat for every meal, but also started to eat fine grains.
With this money, it would be better to save it and use it to pay the shop assistants, and she could spend a lot of money on buying several pieces of jewelry.
Thinking of this, Second Aunt became extremely anxious. How could she get the money? She might as well give Gu Rongyu some medicine to kill him. Judging from his sickly appearance, he wouldn't live long.
Wouldn’t it be a blessing to die early and be reborn early, so as to avoid suffering in this world?
Second Aunt is a person of action. Everyone in the village knows that Gu Rongyu coughs all year round, and sometimes there is blood. It is obvious at a glance that he has tuberculosis. The most taboo thing is that he does not get enough rest and is not very nutritious.
