Chapter 717 Partiality

Gu Zhaoming was almost pissed off by his two stupid brothers who were more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything, but that was his grandfather's only life-saving medicine and he could not delay, so he immediately jumped into the pond to look for the medicine.

The pond was not big, but there were lotus flowers and koi in it, and the bottom was full of mud. If he walked a little, the koi would move and the pond water would become turbid.

Gu Zhaoming kept groping under the scorching sun, and his two brothers knew that something was wrong and ran to find his mother.

His mother learned that the special medicine had fallen into the pond and could not be found, so she immediately sent his grandfather to the hospital.

Gu Zhaoming hurriedly found the medicine and rushed back to feed it to his grandfather, but he only learned from the servant that his mother had taken his grandfather to the hospital.

He thought that everything would be fine after his mother took his grandfather to the hospital, but he still took the medicine with him to the hospital to see his grandfather. Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the hospital, his grandfather had already passed away.

Later, what awaited him was his father's angry slap and the condemning eyes of the family elders.

When the second and third brothers told their mother about the fight for the special medicine, in order to shirk responsibility, they naturally did not tell the truth, but put the blame on Gu Zhaoming for losing the special medicine.

Although his mother favored her two younger brothers, she also understood her two sons and probably guessed that the responsibility lay with the two younger brothers, so she rushed to send her grandfather to the hospital.

But she didn't expect that her grandfather died on the way. His mother was also panicked.

So she complained to his father first, saying that as the eldest brother, he did not know how to give way to his younger brothers and had to compete with his two younger brothers, which caused the medicine to fall into the pond. She

said that after he found the medicine, he was dawdling and did not deliver it in time, which delayed his grandfather.

On the contrary, his two younger brothers were sensible. After knowing that the medicine had fallen, they came to her to take their grandfather to the hospital.

Unfortunately, his grandfather did not survive.

The death of his closest grandfather, and his mother and two younger brothers broke dirty water on him, made Gu Zhaoming collapse and angry.

He was so angry that he beat his two younger brothers in front of everyone, and explained the truth to his father and the elders, but he was considered to be quibbling and shirking responsibility.

After all, in the eyes of his father and the elders, his mother was the biological mother of the three brothers, and he was the heir of the family who brought honor to her. Even if his mother was partial, she should be partial to him.

Later, after a meeting of the family elders, it was determined that Gu Zhaoming had delayed the treatment of the old patriarch, so he was sentenced to 49 lashes of the family law.

This family law avoids the vital points and is not fatal, but it can beat people to pieces and blood.

Gu Zhaoming's position as the heir of the family was not deprived of this. After all, he was personally trained by the old patriarch, and naturally he was not comparable to the two stupid brothers who were left alone.

Gu Zhaoming dragged his wounds to question his mother, asking her why she didn't believe him and why she testified for his two younger brothers.

He thought that the wounds would make her feel distressed and guilty, but unexpectedly, she still didn't think she had done anything wrong.

She said that she knew what he said was true and she believed him.

However, if the matter was told, his two younger brothers would definitely be beaten half to death by the family rules and would be expelled from the family.

They didn't have much to inherit, and they didn't have his ability. If they were beaten and expelled from the family, how could they live?

But Gu Zhaoming was different. He was the third generation heir trained by the old patriarch. At most, he would be punished by the family rules, but he would not be expelled from the family, and he had almost no loss.

Of course, his mother still had some selfish thoughts. After all, it was she who decided to send the old master to the hospital, and missed the special medicine that Gu Zhaoming found, which delayed the old master's treatment. She was afraid that she would also be held responsible.

In short, it was to sacrifice Gu Zhaoming for the happiness of their whole family.
