Chapter 118 If I can’t use you anymore, I’ll sell you out!
Not getting a response, Gu Liansheng cursed even more fiercely, grabbing everything within his reach and smashing it.
After a while, the sounds of various things falling to the ground were heard from the inner room, which scared the three siblings so much that they almost cried!
This was not a solution. Gu Qing gritted his teeth and pushed Gu Lian into the inner room, asking her to explain to their father why she didn't cook.
Gu Lian didn't expect Gu Qing to dare to do this. After staggering into the inner room, tears streamed down her face.
I didn’t dare to move forward or backward. I just stood there stupidly at the door, crying.
Gu Tianbao, who was outside, was also frightened by Gu Qing's sudden action. When he came to his senses, he immediately wanted to quarrel with Gu Qing.
Gu Qing scolded him in a low voice: "Shut up! If you dare to make trouble, I will push you in too!"
Being scolded by Gu Qing like this, Gu Tianbao got angry. He was afraid of his father but not his elder sister!
Relying on his fat stature and great strength, Gu Tianbao took advantage of Gu Qing's unpreparedness and simply imitated Gu Qing's movements, taking the initiative and pushing Gu Qing in!
Gu Qing also didn't expect that Gu Tianbao would dare to treat him like this. After entering the inner room, he immediately turned around and beat him up!
At this moment, Gu Liansheng, who was lying on the bed, suddenly sat up, bent down to pick up the shoes on the ground, raised his hand and threw them over -
Gu Lian had been paying attention to her father's movements. Seeing this, she hurriedly dodged, and the shoe passed over her and hit Gu Qing behind her.
The sour-smelling shoes had a very strong odor. After they hit her body, Gu Qing smelled it immediately and was so disgusted that she almost vomited!
Being hit by the shoe meant that her father had seen her. Now Gu Qing didn't dare to go out anymore and she retracted her outstretched foot in anger.
"Since you are all alive! Why don't you even cook a meal?! I feed you with food, clothing and daily necessities, but you have only supported two lazy ghosts! If you don't obey me anymore, I will let your grandmother take you away and hand you over to that human trafficker to sell you!"
Hearing this, Gu Lian cried even harder, and Gu Qing also shed tears, feeling extremely frightened.
Gu Qing understood her father. Since he said this, it meant he had thought about this in his mind a long time ago!
Knowing this, she was more frightened than Gu Lian. Her father actually wanted to sell her out? !
If he really needed money, he could just sell that dead girl Gu Lian. Why sell her as well?
In order to save her father, she even took out her own money and bought a lot of medicine. Unexpectedly, her father didn't appreciate her kindness at all!
Gu Qing lowered his head, shocked and angry!
"Dad..." Gu Lian sobbed and wiped her tears. She no longer dared to hide it and told him the reason why she didn't cook.
"Si Ya said that we are not allowed to use the firewood chopped by the second family. If we dare to use the firewood from the second family again, she will burn our house in the middle of the night. We have no firewood, so we can't cook..."
Gu Liansheng was immediately furious: "You brainless people! She didn't allow you to use firewood, so you just sit in the house and wait to starve to death?! Can't you go into the mountains to chop firewood?! Are your legs broken or disabled? Is it so difficult to walk up the mountain?!"
The sisters Gu Qing and Gu Lian paused for a moment. They also wanted to go and chop wood, but they had never done wood-chopping work before, and it would not look good for a girl to go into the mountains to chop wood.
Besides the fact that it was embarrassing, there was another point: they all had bound feet, so they couldn't even walk a long distance, let alone go into the mountains to chop firewood!
After much thought, the two sisters wanted to find an opportunity to go into the main hall and ask Feng Shi to see if Feng Shi could persuade their second uncle to go and discuss with Si Ya to let them borrow some firewood first.
But plans cannot keep up with changes. Clan leader Gu suddenly came home, and Mrs. Feng and Old Man Gu fainted again. Their hopes of going in to ask Mrs. Feng for help were dashed, and the two sisters were completely out of ideas.
Of course, the two sisters didn't dare to tell their father about this before. After all, the matter was not accomplished. According to their father's temper, if the matter was not accomplished, it would be considered incompetence! He would definitely be scolded again.
After not getting a response from the two sisters, Gu Liansheng lay back on the bed, angry and seeing stars: "Get out! Get out of here and go to the mountains to chop wood! From now on, all the wood in this room will be handed over to you! If there is no wood to use, you can just wait to be sold! There is no point in keeping you around, it is better to sell you for silver!"
The two sisters were so frightened that they could no longer hold back their tears and ran out in a hurry.
She returned to the outer room, wiped her tears, put on thick clothes, and took out a bundle of hemp ropes.
It was clear at a glance that the two sisters were really frightened. They no longer dared to be lazy and planned to go into the mountains to chop firewood.
Gu Tianbao stared blankly at his elder and second sisters, not daring to say a word.
Gu Lian pulled him over and whispered to him worriedly, asking him to stay in the outer room and not go into the inner room, as their father was very angry and might scold him as well.
Seeing his second sister’s red and swollen eyes, Gu Tianbao felt a pang of sadness in his heart and said, “I’ll go with you. I’m strong, so I can at least help carry more firewood back…”
Before he could finish his words, Gu Liansheng in the inner room shouted again: "Tianbao? Tianbao? Let your elder sister and second sister go to chop wood, you go to boil medicine, Dad hasn't taken his medicine today..."
Gu Tianbao stopped talking. Now he couldn't go even if he wanted to.
Gu Qing was very jealous and glared at Gu Tianbao hatefully.
Gu Lian breathed a sigh of relief. Going into the mountains was not an easy job, so it was better for her to stay at home and make medicine.
Grabbing the hemp rope, the two sisters wiped the tears from their faces. First, it was windy outside and if they cried any more their faces would probably crack. Second, everyone from the second house was at home and they didn't want to be laughed at by them!
After leaving the east wing, the two sisters saw that there was no one in the yard, so they hurriedly and quietly went to the backyard.
Since you are going to chop wood, you must bring a hatchet.
When they arrived at the backyard, the two sisters couldn't find the hatchet anywhere.
In the past, the hatchet had always been used by the people in the second room, and they had no idea where it was put when not in use.
After searching the entire backyard, I finally found the hatchet on top of the neatly stacked firewood.
The hatchet was very heavy, and the two sisters argued for a while over who should hold it.
In the end, Gu Lian failed to argue with Gu Qing, so she had to pick up the hatchet and walked towards the front yard with heavy steps.
They didn't know that the road outside the back door could also lead into the mountains, and they thought that the only way to enter the mountains was to walk west on the village road outside the courtyard gate.
Coming out of the backyard, the two sisters bumped into Gu Tang who was coming out of the west wing!
All of a sudden, a wave of heat came over them, and the sisters' faces turned hot and red.
Gu Tang glanced at the hatchet in Gu Lian's hand with curiosity and sneered in his heart, is he unable to bear the hunger and plans to support himself?
Gu Tang glanced at the sisters' feet calmly and remembered something. In the past, Wei always said that girls with bound feet could not chop wood, as that was something girls with big feet like her did.
Now she really hoped that Wei could come back and see how the pair of sisters with bound feet chopped wood.
No matter how much he looked down on her, Gu Tang didn't say anything sarcastic. He just reminded her: "This axe is the only one in the family. Don't lose it. It costs hundreds of copper coins."
