If they didn't get any money in the first place, they would have lost it.

Now they have to spend money on Gu Yanzhang's medicine. They are so heartbroken!

That's a huge sum of money worth several hundred coins!

They have to work day and night for half a month to earn so much money.

...

After staying in the county for three days, Gu Yanzhang's father Gu Yu'an sent his eldest grandson to urge them.

Gu Yu'an has been thrifty all his life.

He has never been willing to spend money.

When he learned that Gu Yanzhang was in the county, and the cost of asking the doctor to prescribe medicine was at least one or two silver coins, he was so heartbroken.

Money!

That's all money!

Their family finally managed to have a little bit of assets, but now, it was going to be ruined by their son and daughter-in-law. He said he didn't feel bad? That's impossible!

After hearing his eldest son's retelling of his father's words, Gu Yanzhang, who was lying on the hospital bed, had a dark look in his eyes. He felt that his father's behavior really hurt his heart.

He asked his son to come over, but he didn't even care about him. He kept asking how much money he had spent in the past few days and when he would be back. The land at home will have to be harvested in a few days...

Thinking of his father treating him like an animal, Gu Yanzhang said to Chen Xuanxuan who was taking care of him, "Wife, let's go back tomorrow!"

Chen Xuanxuan was puzzled, "How can we do that? The doctor said that you have injured your bones this time. You need to rest well for a few days. You can't do heavy work. Otherwise, you will have a lot of health problems when you are old..."

Hearing this, Gu Yanzhang replied helplessly, "We can't not go back tomorrow. If we don't go back, my father will come here in person to urge us."

"What's more, during the time we were away from home, I was always worried that my father would vent his anger on my mother..."

Gu Yanzhang knew it in his heart. His father was an honest man. He didn't like to talk much in front of the villagers. He looked very honest. But secretly, he was the kind of man who loved to beat his wife.

Whenever he got angry outside, or someone gave him a cold look, or he thought that someone looked down on him, he would vent all his anger on his family members as soon as he got home.

In the past, they were still young and had no ability to resist. If they were beaten to death, they died. No one cared. When those people heard about it, they would only think that they had bad luck and sighed, "Poor thing, they died at such a young age..."

Later, he was the only one who was lucky enough to grow up in the family, and he would not obey him in everything. On the contrary, sometimes he would give him a cold look. As a result, my father can only vent his anger on my mother.

Thinking of how hard my mother has lived her life, the thirty-year-old Gu Yanzhang couldn't help but blame himself to Chen Xuanxuan, "It's all because of my incompetence and uselessness. I can't protect my mother, and I can't protect you..."

Seeing Gu Yanzhang's guilty face, Chen Xuanxuan thought for a moment and comforted him, "Boss, what are you talking about?"

"Why can't you protect me and your mother?"

"I can say this, in this family, as long as you are here, and as long as you have a tougher temper and don't have to go along with those people's thoughts, you can still protect us women. Unless you don't want to protect them..."

At this point, Chen Xuanxuan said again, "You are my man. In fact, in my heart, your health is more important. But we can't ignore your mother. It's better to do it sooner rather than later. We don't have to go back tomorrow, we can just leave now!"

Seeing Chen Xuanxuan's serious face, Gu Yanzhang was happy.

After the whole family rushed back overnight, Gu Yanzhang really heard the sound of his father beating his mother in the old house. At

this moment, Gu Yanzhang was also furious.

With Chen Xuanxuan stunned, he picked up a wooden stick and rushed in. Soon, there were chaotic noises and Gu Yu'an's extremely furious roar.

When Chen Xuanxuan was hesitating whether she should bring her sons in to help, she saw with her own eyes Gu Yanzhang carrying his mother out of the old house.

Seeing her poor mother-in-law lying weakly in his arms, her face was full of bruises and purple marks, and she was swollen beyond recognition. Chen Xuanxuan couldn't help but sigh a few times, "What a sin!"

Noticing that Gu Yanzhang was already an old man, his face was sobbing. Chen Xuanxuan said hurriedly, "Head of the family, we still have to send my mother to the town's clinic for a check-up."

"She looks like this..." She was really worried that she would not make it tonight.

The mother-in-law was skinny because of the poor family and poor living conditions.

Although the family's living standards have improved a little in the past six months, every time the mother-in-law eats, she will give all the delicious food in her bowl to the father-in-law. Even if everyone is eating porridge, she will divide half of it and pour it into his bowl.

Chen Xuanxuan can say that her mother-in-law is a very virtuous person. She always cares about her man. However, the man she married doesn't seem to take her seriously.

The father-in-law is domineering at home and has a very bad attitude towards the mother-in-law. He will lose his temper for a little thing.

Chen Xuanxuan still remembers that one time after she made breakfast, her mother-in-law gave half of the rice in her bowl to her father-in-law while Gu Yanzhang went to the toilet. As a result, her father-in-law slapped her mother-in-law twice in front of her daughter-in-law.

Moreover, he said, "Do you want to scald me to death?"

When Chen Xuanxuan thought that her father-in-law was actually killing a chicken to scare the monkey that morning, she couldn't help but feel disgusted.

She hesitated for a moment and didn't tell Gu Yanzhang about it.

But now her father-in-law can't say a word in front of outsiders. But in front of his family, he is the king and wants the whole family to listen to him.

Chen Xuanxuan couldn't help but start to say bad things about him in front of Gu Yanzhang.

"Head of the family,... I think it's not a solution for our family to continue like this."

"Since your father-in-law hates your mother-in-law and either beats her or scolds her, let your mother live in the same room with us starting today."

"Your mother can sleep with the eldest and second daughters and help take care of the two girls. This will make my work easier..."

Gu Yanzhang thought about it, nodded, and agreed.

My mother suffered a lot in the past. Now she is old and weak, not as good as my father.
