Chapter 12
Gu Daniu understood what Gu Xiangrong said, while Gu Chen was shouting at the side, "This is outrageous! A father who wants to teach his child a lesson has to look at other people's faces? Even if your Second Aunt's business makes money today, will they give you a penny? What can you do? Will you even get that money? How dare you say you're here to support Gu Xiangrong?"
She then said to Gu Daniu, "That's how powerful they are. If you don't teach them a lesson today, they'll dare to contradict you today and lock you up in the woodshed tomorrow and not let you go out. As children, beating them will make them more filial."
Gu Xinxin turned to look at Gu Chen, a look that made her feel uneasy. After a moment, she raised her head and shouted, "What? Wasn't I right? You don't know your place unless you give you a beating! You think you're the smartest people in the world all day long! You look at those wolf tooth potatoes so fancy, you think they're some secret recipe, but in fact, if you have a keen tongue, you'll know how they're made after eating them twice. Who would want to spend money on them then?"
She turned to look at Gu Daniu and said, "This business won't last long. I bet within a month, there will be several other businesses in this town doing this! And they're selling all the potatoes in the village to her second aunt. I'm afraid she won't even have enough to use up her own potatoes!"
Gu Daniu had been silent with a gloomy expression on his face, but after listening to Gu Chen's words, he frowned. He didn't know much about cooking, but this cooking - it seemed that it was not that difficult?
Women seem to be born with talent. You can tell how other people cook just by looking at them.
That's not right. If that were the case, why would the food they cooked be equally awful? There were only a few people in the village who cooked delicious food. The rest were either boiled vegetables with garlic sauce or boiled vegetables with too much salt.
Gu Xinxin remained calm and said, "Time flies by quickly, and today is almost over. Why don't you wait a little longer, Dad?"
Just wait, people are all like this, they are full of energy at first, then they become weaker, and then they are exhausted.
From the moment Gu Daniu's stick paused for the first time, his momentum to beat Gu Xinxin to death was blocked, which meant that he was doomed to lose the upper hand today and failed to subdue Gu Xinxin. So it was normal for him to give in again now.
Now I just look at Second Aunt's side.
If Second Auntie made money, Gu Xinxin would have the upper hand today, and she would have a say in the Gu family in the future. If Second Auntie didn't make money... this beating today, though delayed, would definitely happen.
Gu Daniu sat beside the table and continued to repair his bow and arrow. Gu Xiangrong was a little restless and looked at the door from time to time. He wanted to go to the village entrance to inquire, but he didn't dare to leave for fear that Gu Daniu would go crazy and beat Gu Xinxin again.
Gu Chen always stared at Gu Xinxin with a gloomy and vicious look.
Gu Xinxin didn't care and continued squatting. She didn't squat for long enough. She was thick-skinned enough and felt that she had squatted for about the time, so she asked Gu Daniu: "Dad, what do we do after squatting?"
Just like Gu Xiangrong, if she wanted to have a good reputation in this life, she would have given birth to Gu Xinxin, and then she would be Gu Daniu's daughter until her death.
So don’t even think about breaking off the relationship.
Since the relationship cannot be severed, we can't just let Gu Daniu bear the title of a father. He still has to fulfill his responsibilities.
Gu Daniu glanced at her, as if impressed by her shamelessness. After a moment, he said, "You want to learn archery?"
"Yeah, it's always a good idea to learn more. If I make a lot of money in the future and go out, I need to be able to protect myself. Otherwise, what if I get robbed? I'm still a girl, and I'd lose both my money and my life." Gu Xinxin said seriously, "Dad, can you teach me archery?"
Gu Daniu was silent for a moment, then stood up and said, "If you want to learn archery, you should first practice your lower body and arm strength. Here are two stone locks, pick them up."
The stone lock is what Gu Daniu uses on a daily basis.
Gu Xinxin was silent for a moment. She didn't need two, she definitely couldn't do it. So, she put her hands together to hold one.
Grunting and grunting, Shisuo didn't even move.
Gu Xinxin took a deep breath, squatted down, and tried again. Her face turned red, but Shisuo still didn't move.
She felt that there was a hint of sarcasm in the way Gu Daniu looked at her.
How could this be possible? Even if it was to avoid being looked down upon by Gu Daniu, she had to… Never mind, she might as well change. People can't always fight with themselves. They should let themselves go when they should. If the big one doesn't work, she can use the small one. Who says she has to use a big bow and arrow? She could just get a slingshot and tuck it into her belt. It wouldn't attract attention.
She pursed her lips and thought, besides, it would be fine to make a repeating crossbow. The arm strength required for it shouldn't be as high as that of a bow and arrow, right?
Gu Xiangrong couldn't bear to see his sister embarrassed, so he quickly went to the kitchen and brought out two wooden buckets: "Sister, change these, and fill them with water when you get used to it."
Gu Xinxin held two buckets horizontally and glanced at Gu Daniu, who had a blank expression on his face: "Lift them horizontally, lower your shoulders, pull in your stomach and lift your chest. Squat back, use your legs to push hard, and plant your feet firmly on the ground."
Then he pointed with a stick: "Here, back."
Gu Xinxin adjusted her movements. The bucket wasn't very heavy, but after holding it horizontally for too long, her arm started to ache. She looked at Gu Daniu, who was busy with his bow and arrow. Gu Xinxin wanted to relax for a moment, and just as she turned her arm slightly, Gu Daniu seemed to have eyes on his back and hit her arm with a stick: "Hold it horizontally."
She suspected that Gu Daniu wanted to get back at her because he had failed to beat her up just now, after all, the beating was quite heavy.
But, can she still settle the score with Gu Daniu?
He could only grit his teeth, raise his arms, and imagine in his mind that one day he would become a hero, with infinite strength and bravery, and would pin Gu Daniu to the ground and beat him until he cried for his parents.
Then she stepped on Gu Chen, who kowtowed to her and begged for mercy.
Oh, this scene is really like a popsicle in the dog days of summer, making people feel refreshed from head to toe.
But this method was effective at first, but as time went on, she had no time to fantasize. All her attention was focused on her arms, which were sore and had a cramping feeling. Sweat dripped down from her forehead, dripping onto the ground in front of her eyes, creating small puddles.
Gu Xiangrong felt a little distressed: "Otherwise, sister, don't practice anymore. I will follow you when you go out. No matter where you go, I will protect you."
Gu Xinxin was annoyed. "Do you want me to follow you to the toilet? Do you want me to follow you to take a shower?"
But he really didn't have the strength to speak, so he could only shake his head slightly to express his disapproval.
Gu Chen was watching from the side, but she was a little frightened - this girl was too patient. If she could bear to be cruel to herself, she would definitely be cruel to others.
