Chapter 123 Hiding
Gu Lianshan spat at him and said, "Go and have a look in the main hall. Dad has become so angry at you that his chest pain has worsened. Now he can't even get out of bed! Mom is half dead! The left side of her body has lost its response, and her left hand, left foot and left face are all useless!
Doctor Gu said that if I could buy good medicine and take care of myself every day, maybe I could recover a little in the future. But if I don’t have money to buy medicine, I’ll just have to stay in bed for the rest of my life!"
Gu Liansheng's face turned pale. This was the first time he heard of this. Gu Lianshan had not told him before.
He couldn't believe it, and didn't want to believe it. Everything was fine before, so how could it be so serious?
The two elders have always been able to eat and drink well, and they don't do any work on weekdays. They are the ones who take care of everything at home and outside. They are not tired or hungry, but just got angry a few times. How could they be so seriously ill?
Is it just because of those few times when I got angry?
Gu Liansheng's eyes lit up: "It's all because of you, the second branch, that Dad and Mom are angry! Especially your daughter, she's a troublemaker! Dad and Mom are angry because of her! I think she deliberately wants to piss Dad and Mom off to death! Hurry up! Ask your daughter to give money to Dad and Mom for medical treatment!"
"Who said it was my daughter who was angry?" Gu Lianshan sneered and pointed outside.
"Go ask around in the village. Everyone in the village knows that it was you, a scholar, who made my parents sick! Even the clan leader believes it. You want to put the blame on my daughter? Even if you shout it all over the village, no one will believe you!"
Gu Liansheng was stunned for a moment and didn't understand the meaning of these words at first.
When he slowly came to his senses, he reached out and grabbed Gu Lianshan's arm with bloodshot eyes: "How dare you confuse right and wrong and push the matter onto me?!"
Gu Lianshan shook off his hand and said with a shameless look on his face: "I learned this from you. Didn't you treat me like this in front of my parents when I was little? Look how angry you are. If I were this angry with you, I would have died of anger a long time ago!"
Gu Liansheng got even angrier after hearing this!
Although his illness was gradually getting better, he still felt dizzy and had tinnitus due to the anger, and the nausea that had not appeared for a long time came back again, which made Gu Liansheng shocked and scared.
Gu Lianshan saw him retching a few times, turned around and shouted outside: "Girl! Your uncle is sick again! Hurry and bring the medicine in!"
"Hey! Here I come!" Gu Tang responded loudly from outside with a smile in his tone.
But this smile on Gu Liansheng's lips had no good intentions.
He was lying on the bed and suddenly looked up and asked, "What medicine?"
"Your medicine. Don't you want to take it? I've made it for you."
Gu Liansheng was shocked: "How did my medicine get into your hands? I clearly asked Tianbao to make it!"
Gu Lianshan sighed in a pretentious manner: "You lie in bed doing nothing all day long, so you don't know what's going on outside. Your son is not a coward. He was worried about his elder and second sisters going into the mountains to chop firewood, so he followed them. The medicine you had was made by my daughter while watching the fire."
Before he finished speaking, the curtain at the door was lifted and Gu Tang came in with a bowl of medicine, smiling.
Gu Liansheng saw Gu Tang, and in a trance, he seemed to see an evil ghost demanding his life. He was so scared that he waved his hands repeatedly: "Take the medicine away! I feel better now, I won't take it today..."
"Uncle, the medicine is already prepared. If you say you don't want to take it, then what should we do with it? We bought it with money. If it spills, wouldn't it be a waste of money?"
Gu Tang put away the smile on his face, took a few steps forward, handed the medicine to Gu Liansheng, and said in a cold tone: "Uncle, in order not to waste money, I think you should take it."
"My daughter is right, eat it quickly! Don't force me to do it!" Gu Lianshan also lost his good expression, rolled up his sleeves, and looked threatening.
Gu Liansheng was even more afraid to eat it now!
The medicine in this bowl is definitely not his medicine! It is most likely poison!
The father and daughter wanted to take advantage of the fact that the two elders in the family were ill and unable to get up, and take the opportunity to poison him!
Gu Liansheng became more and more frightened the more he thought about it. He quickly jumped out of bed barefoot and ran out like crazy!
The father and daughter in the room looked at each other.
Gu Tang asked her father hesitantly, "Do you think my uncle misunderstood and thought we were carrying poison and wanted to poison him to death?"
Gu Lianshan paused and said, you know what, this is really possible!
Then he cursed, "What an idiot! With such a brain, he dared to brag in front of me just now, saying that he passed the imperial examination. Bah! No one would believe him!"
After saying this, Gu Lianshan turned around and chased after him.
Gu Tang followed him, holding the coptis juice in his hand. He had to drink it after making it with great difficulty!
When the father and daughter chased out, Gu Liansheng had already hidden in the west room of the main hall.
The west room of the main hall is where Gu Liansheng lived before he got married, and he didn't move into the room after he got married.
Mrs. Feng couldn't bear to see her eldest son and his wife sleeping in the same room every night, so she deliberately left the furnishings in the room there, and from time to time she would call her son to come and sleep with her for a night, saying that she missed her son and didn't want him to be so far away from her.
Before Wei gave birth to the child, Gu Liansheng seldom came here to sleep. After Wei gave birth to the child, she gained some weight, and the fat on her belly piled up into circles. Gu Liansheng felt a little disgusted and often came here to sleep.
So there were beddings in the room, and Gu Liansheng wouldn't be cold even if he hid inside. Also because of this, no matter how the father and daughter knocked on the door outside, he refused to open it.
"There's no other way. We can't just break down the door and pull him out. It's not worth it! His life is not worth a door! Just wait. When he gets extremely hungry, he will open the door and come out on his own."
Gu Lianshan tried to comfort the angry Gu Tang, took the medicine bowl from her hand, pointed to the east wing, and whispered, "Since no one is in the east wing right now, search for all the medicine in that room!"
Gu Tang was delighted, his expression instantly improved, and he trotted to the east wing.
All of Gu Liansheng's medicine was prescribed by Gu Qing. He prescribed more than ten packets, but Gu Liansheng felt that the more he took, the faster he would recover. Now there were only five packets left.
Including the pack that Gu Tianbao had brought earlier, there were six packs left.
In other words, Gu Liansheng took almost half of these medicines.
Gu Tang didn't know all this and thought there were only a few packages, so he piled them together and would take them back to his room later.
Right now, she had other things to do.
Her father's words just now reminded her that the eldest family was not in the house at the moment, and she had to take this opportunity to plunder back the silver that Wei had stolen before!
Looking around the room where Wei lived, Gu Tang's eyes fell on the locked cabinet at the head of the bed.
Although Wei loved dressing up, she didn't have many clothes. She only had a few fixed ones. And every time after going out for a walk, she would go back to the house to change her clothes and keep them properly.
Gu Tang calculated that all of Wei's clothes and dresses were worth no more than one or two taels of silver, and Zhang said that Wei took half of the silver from her, and Gu Tang believed it.
