Chapter 13 Three lie down and two
Gu Ping'an seemed to be thinking about something. It seemed that this was true. Whether this family was good or bad, it seemed that it had little to do with him.
Gu Tang waved his hand at him, urging him to go quickly: "Hurry up and I'll tell you in detail when I'm free. For now, just listen to me and go to the river. All the wives and aunts in the village are washing clothes there. It would be best if you could tell them about this."
That place is the gathering place of all kinds of rumors in the village. Once something passes through there, even the most refined ones will have to be washed with some dirty water.
Gu Ping'an, who thought he had figured it out, no longer resisted. He responded happily, turned around and ran away.
After watching him leave the yard, Gu Tang returned to the room and bolted the door.
In order to go into the city today, she got up too early. After exercising for a while, she felt a little tired, so she simply lay down in bed and took a nap.
Not long after lying down, Gu Tang fell into a deep sleep, obviously he was really sleepy.
Feng in the main room and Gu Lian in the east wing, because they could not hear any movement from Gu Tang, secretly glanced at the west wing through the window.
Seeing that Gu Tang had not come out since he entered the house, both sides couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and hurriedly boiled water or changed clothes.
They all subconsciously slowed down their movements. Even Feng, whose face was not a face and whose nose was not a nose, became much more restrained when she saw the little girl.
In the past, when we met, we would definitely curse at each other, but now we can only roll our eyes.
It can be seen that this evil man needs to be punished by another evil man.
The depressing atmosphere didn't last long, and Gu Lianshan, who had gone to ask the doctor, came back.
As soon as he entered the yard, Gu Lianshan asked his fellow clan member Gu Langzhong to go to the main hall, while he ran to the west wing to call Gu Tang.
Gu Tang woke up in a bad mood. She was sleeping soundly when she heard her father's voice impatiently saying that he was sleeping and asked her not to disturb him.
After hearing what his daughter said, Gu Lianshan felt relieved and turned to go to the main room.
She could sleep peacefully. It seemed that after he left, no one dared to quarrel or scold her daughter.
After entering the main room, Doctor Gu began to take the patient's pulse.
Mr. Gu woke up at this time, but he was not in good spirits and his face was yellow.
Seeing his second son coming in, he became agitated again, pointing tremblingly at him, "Get out, get out! Get out of here! There is no place for you in this house anymore..."
Halfway through his words, he started covering his chest and crying out in pain, which scared Feng so much that his face turned pale.
"Don't be angry, don't be angry! Don't you know what kind of bastard he is? He is very vicious. If you get angry with him, people will think you are faking illness."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Gu became even angrier. He opened his mouth and gasped, looking like he was about to faint again.
Gu Lianshan sometimes really admired his mother: "Mom, do you want my dad to die? Listen to what you said, you are afraid that my dad will not die of anger!"
Feng paused, then became furious.
Just as she was about to lose her temper, her husband beside her suddenly grabbed her wrist, held it tightly, and stared at her with a gloomy face.
This look was always directed at others in the past, but unexpectedly, it was directed at her today.
Feng was filled with grief and suddenly felt wronged: "The second brother had a grudge in his heart and thought I was not a good person, so he made up a few random words. What? Did you believe what he said?"
Mr. Gu restrained his expression and said nothing.
Gu Lianshan clicked his tongue twice and continued to fan the flames: "Mom, my dad didn't say he didn't believe you. Look, my dad didn't say a word."
It would have been better if she hadn't said this. Once she said it, Feng felt even more wronged. Regardless of the presence of others, she threw herself on the bed and started crying.
Old Master Gu's face flushed red. He was angry that his son was deliberately provoking him. He also felt that Feng was not presentable and was embarrassing!
Just as he was about to scold him, Doctor Gu in front of him suddenly told him to be quiet.
"Uncle Gu, please don't say anything. The pulse is all messed up right now! You can only take the pulse steadily if you are calm and composed."
Since it was related to his own illness, Mr. Gu endured it, controlled himself, and let his anger dissipate so that the doctor could take his pulse.
This incident today really scared him!
He has been in good health over the years. Although he pretended to be sick a few times, there were reasons for that.
It's all because the second brother is disobedient and doesn't act. There's no way to force him, so he starts pretending to be sick.
This is also for the good of the second child. His original intention is to make him more obedient and filial. He really has no bad intentions other than that.
Why did you suddenly become sick?
Could it be that he was really being punished by God because he pretended to be sick too many times?
The more Mr. Gu thought about it, the more confused he became. The more confused he became, the more he felt that this was God punishing him.
Doctor Gu examined both hands and finally concluded that it was "chest pain".
Old Master Gu looked bewildered. He was just a rough man who had only two years of education. The farthest he had been was Bei'an City. He had no knowledge and had never heard of the disease called "chest pain".
Doctor Gu understood it at a glance and selected some words that he could understand.
"This disease won't kill you in a short time, but you need to take care of yourself!"
"How to raise it?" Mr. Gu asked anxiously.
"Don't overwork yourself, don't be too happy or too sad, don't eat too much meat and fish... In short, you have to eat a light diet, keep a calm mind, and take medicine every day. It will take a few years for you to recover."
As soon as these words were spoken, Feng, who was lying on the bed crying, stopped crying immediately.
She asked anxiously, "Do you take medicine every day? How many packs a day? How many years do you need to take it? Is the medicine expensive..."
The series of questions made Mr. Gu's face darken. He closed his eyes and kept comforting himself not to be angry.
Doctor Gu had a good temper and patiently answered Feng's questions one by one.
Hearing this, Feng's heart sank to the bottom. This disease is just a money hole. If you want to live, you have to fill it with money!
Gu Lianshan also understood, and he left the main room very quickly, fearing that Feng would pester him for money!
All the money in the family was in the hands of the two elders, and he had no money to treat the old man.
From what the doctor said, nothing will happen in the short term, so just take your time.
His father is a coward, so he will find a way to get the money himself. He doesn't have any anyway.
After explaining the situation to Mr. Gu and agreeing on a time to get the medicine, Doctor Gu came out of the main hall and went all the way to the east wing to continue treating the eldest son of the Gu family.
Boss Gu's illness was easy to diagnose. Doctor Gu took his pulse for a while and concluded that he had hit his head and damaged his brain. He told him to calm down and rest in bed.
"How long to raise it? How to raise it?" Wei was disappointed.
"It could be as long as a year and a half, or as short as three to five months. It's uncertain."
"In addition to taking medicine on time every day, the most important thing is to lie down and recuperate. You must be quiet, not noisy, not angry, and not reading..."
"Also, you need to get some good food. Only by eating well and sleeping well can you get better faster."
After hearing this, the other half of Wei's heart also sank. Her whole heart felt as if it had fallen into an ice hole, so cold!
There are only three men in the Gu family who can support the family. Two of them are lying down, and the remaining one is a demon!
Now, not only did Mrs. Feng and Mrs. Wei, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, feel like the sky had fallen, but even the children in the family felt like the sky had fallen.
