Gu Jiayue didn't quite believe Lin Yi. After all, he was a research maniac and had gone a little crazy for his medical skills.
She was afraid that Lin Yi would lose control of himself and smash his second brother's head.
But now that she has a reliable Xiao Fuzi, Gu Jiayue feels much more at ease.
"In that case, shall we send our second brother there tomorrow?"
"Let's wait for your mother to come back and ask for their opinions." She was anxious before there was any result, but now that there is a result, grandma is a little hesitant.
What if it can’t be cured?
What if I become even more stupid?
What if I become paralyzed?
What if... I die?
Grandma knew she shouldn't be so pessimistic, but she just couldn't control herself.
She has hardly had a good rest recently, worrying about this and that.
Sometimes I dream that Gu Jiayue was beheaded because he offended the powerful and the chieftain by running a school and making the villagers rich.
Then she dreamed that Gu Yuchuan's illness was not cured and he died in front of her.
She was often frightened awake in the middle of the night, and then she would go to the place where the family god was placed in the main hall and worship again and again.
Except for grandpa, no other family members noticed it.
This is also the disadvantage of living separately.
After Gu Jiayue left the room, she carefully closed the door, fearing that the wind would blow away the plan she had worked so hard to write. Then she helped her grandmother walk towards the yard.
The grandfather and grandson walked to the sycamore tree in the yard and sat down to chat.
After a while, all the family members who were out came back.
Although the Gu family now lives separately, they still eat together.
We cook in the house where my grandmother lives, and we usually eat there too. If it gets really hot, we move to the big yard.
Anyway, the moon is so bright at night that there is no need to turn on the lights.
After dinner, grandma told the story again about Lin Yi developing the antidote, and let the third son and his wife decide for themselves.
Gu Huangtai looked at his son playing nearby, and his heart felt very sad.
Mrs. Li was also upset. She wanted a healthy child, but she wanted a living son even more.
"No one has used that antidote, and we don't know if it will..." What if Yuchuan is accidentally cured and killed?
People are pessimistic and always think of the worst possible outcome when something happens.
"What nonsense! Doctor Lin is a renowned doctor in Juzhou Prefecture. Master Fu is a disciple of the Divine Doctor Valley. How could the antidote they developed be ineffective? It must be effective!"
Although grandma thought so in her heart, she couldn't say it.
If the whole family thinks it is unreliable, the result will definitely be to give up treatment.
But this is not the case that everything will be fine if we just give up treatment.
Didn't you hear what Doctor Lin said? This poison is extremely toxic. Yuchuan's entire body is now empty. If he doesn't detoxify, he won't live for many years.
So she made the decision. "Treat him and send him there tomorrow."
Grandma made the decision and no one in the family said anything.
At dawn the next day, the whole family went to school together.
Gu Yuchuan, who was caught in the middle, looked around in confusion. "Mom, where are we going?"
Li opened her mouth to cry, but her throat felt like it was blocked by dough. She opened her mouth but couldn't utter a word.
Gu Jiayue patted the back of Gu Yuchuan's hand soothingly. "Do you remember Master Fu from the academy? He has something interesting somewhere and invited us to check it out. Do you want to go?"
Gu Yuchuan laughed quickly. "Yes, yes, yes, we have to go see something fun."
Gu Yuhe, who was walking listlessly at the back, suddenly perked up when he heard this. "I want to go too, Mom, Sister, I want to go too."
Li scowled and turned to glare at Gu Yuhe, who was jumping up and down behind them. "Where are you going? Get to class!"
Gu Yuhe was furious. How could they be so hypocritical? Ever since he started school, the most common thing his family said to him was "Hurry up and study." He asked, "Have you finished your homework? What score did you get on the test?"
Especially the second brother, who went to school intermittently, and actually remembered more knowledge than him. This made the family dislike him even more.
They hadn't cared about whether he was happy or not for a long time.
Gu Yuhe became angrier the more he thought about it, and walked forward quickly with a pout, soon surpassing everyone in the Gu family.
Everyone was immersed in the fact that Gu Yuchuan was about to go for treatment and didn't notice Gu Yuhe's emotions at all.
Gu Jiayue looked at her younger brother's back and quickly chased after him. "Why are you suddenly angry?"
Gu Yuchuan glanced at her, snorted, and said nothing, but his pace became faster. Gu Jiayue had to jog to barely keep up with him.
"Yuhe, everyone is concerned about our second brother because he's going to get treatment soon. Doctor Lin said he'll need at least a month of treatment. That's why everyone is paying extra attention to him. As his younger brother, you also want him to get better, right?"
Gu Yuhe's pace slowed down. He looked up at Gu Jiayue. "I know. I'm worried about my second brother, too. But I don't like them talking about studying and grades all the time."
"I admit that not only am I not as good as you, I am not even as good as my idiot second brother. I am the real idiot." Gu Yuhe said a few words and his eyes became red.
He wiped his eyes fiercely with his sleeve, trying hard not to cry.
He is already eight years old and a man. He can't cry easily or he will be laughed at.
But he still wanted to cry.
Li's words just now became the fuse for Gu Yuhe's emotional outburst.
Ever since he started school, he felt unhappy every day. The expectations of his family, the envy of his fellow villagers, and the excellence of his older brothers and sisters were like huge mountains, bending his young back.
He is Gu Jiayue's younger brother, so he has to be excellent;
He was the only male in the Gu family who was educated, so he had to excel;
But no one ever asked him whether he was willing to study.
Especially when he didn't do well in exams or couldn't answer questions in class, he could hear the teachers shaking their heads and sighing clearly.
But what could he do? He had tried so hard, yet he just couldn't understand.
What can he do?
The more he wiped, the more tears flowed from his eyes. He couldn't stop them.
Finally, he gave up, threw his schoolbag away, sat down on the ground, and burst into tears. "Wow, I just don't want to study, I want to play!"
When the Gu family members walking behind saw him like this, they hurried forward.
"What happened?" Grandma came forward first and hugged Gu Yuhe in her arms with heartache.
Feeling the warm and familiar embrace, Gu Yuhe cried even harder. "Grandma, I don't want to study anymore. I can't understand."
Everyone who had looked worried just now suddenly looked at him speechlessly.
Li was the first to speak. "Yuhe, your ability to study is a blessing that no one else can even hope for. How can you be so willful?"
Gu Huangtai, who had difficulty walking, also looked at Gu Yuhe with a scathing look. "Yes, you can sit in the school and study now, protected from the wind and rain. Someone cooks and washes for you every day, and you just read a book and write. What else can you be dissatisfied with?"
The uncle nodded in agreement. "Yes, if your elder brother had the conditions you have now, he wouldn't have to dig in the dirt every day. Yuhe, we must be content."
The more benign the grandmother looked, the more distressed she was as she educated Gu Yuhe with a stern face.
Gu Yuhe, who was already devastated, became even more saddened by the wave after wave of accusations.
He pushed his grandmother away, stood up and was about to run forward.
Gu Jiayue, who had no chance to speak, sighed. "Grandma, you guys take my second brother to see Doctor Lin. I'll go see Yuhe."
Seeing the brother and sister running away one after the other, grandma shouted anxiously, "Gu Yuhe, stop right there!"
After grandma finished shouting, she stood up and wanted to chase after him.
