Chapter 133 Kneel down and serve
Gu Lianshan said in disbelief: "Although your grandma is not a good person, she knows the situation of our family. Buying maids and servants to serve her? How shameless must one be to say such a thing!"
Gu Tang smacked her lips, thinking that her father still didn't understand Feng.
When it comes to shamelessness, the Feng family is definitely second to none.
Feng in the room was still scolding the two old women, and her scolding became more and more unpleasant, with no intention of stopping.
Gu Tang raised his hand and knocked on the door, then shouted into the house, asking the maid inside to open the door.
Hearing Gu Tang's voice, the maids moved quickly. Before the words were even finished, they had already opened the door eagerly.
As soon as she saw Gu Tang, the leading lady Sun looked aggrieved and her eyes turned red. She said, "Miss, you didn't say yesterday that your old lady likes to scold people."
Hearing the complaint from Mrs. Sun, Mrs. Feng in the room cursed even louder: "How dare you, a lowly servant, file a complaint against the master?! People like you will definitely be beaten to death by the master in that wealthy family!"
Mrs. Sun was so angry that she couldn't speak, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Mrs. Song behind her was not afraid of Feng's intimidation, and made things clear to Gu Tang, saying: "Your old lady is a capable person! Since the man woke up, she has been ordering us around in various ways. It's fine to order us around, after all, all we do is serve others, but your old lady has to find fault with us!
She said she wanted to drink water, so I poured her some water. She said the first bowl was too hot, the second bowl was too cold, and the third bowl was neither hot nor cold. It would hurt her stomach if she drank it!
After drinking the water, she said she wanted to go to the toilet, so she asked us to carry her to the toilet. The first time she went to the toilet, she said she didn't feel like peeing anymore. She lay back on the bed for less than half a minute, and then she said she wanted to go to the toilet again! This happened two or three times in a row!
We can tolerate all these, the only thing we can't tolerate is that she is not satisfied with everything! Once they are not satisfied, they start to curse us, and then they order us around, and then they continue to find fault with us, and then they continue to curse us..."
Gu Tang smacked his lips, Tsk! No wonder the two old women are like this. If this cycle repeats itself over and over again, anyone would go crazy!
As Mrs. Song talked more and more, Gu Lianshan's face turned black.
He really didn't expect that his mother's methods of torturing people would be so varied!
Gu Tang already knew what kind of person Feng was and was not angry.
At the end, Mrs. Song looked hesitant and asked tentatively, "Is your family an official family? Or has your old lady lived in an official family before?
Every time this old lady talked about rules, they were all rules about how maids and old women should serve people.
In addition to these, she also asked us to massage her shoulders, rub her back, and beat her feet. We cannot do it randomly. We have to pay attention to the acupoints and strength, etc. These are all delicate jobs!
We are peasant women with rough hands and feet, and can only do rough and laborious work. We are incapable of doing these delicate jobs. If you really can't do it, how about you find someone else? ”
ah? Don’t want to do this anymore?
That won’t do! She doesn't have time to find someone new for Feng!
Besides, the two old women in front of me can’t stand it and don’t want to do it anymore. If I hire new ones, I’m afraid the result will be the same!
Gu Tang hurriedly made a promise: "I know you have been wronged, I will double your wages!"
After hearing this, Gu Lianshan, who rarely did not feel sorry for the money, nodded and promised: "Yes, yes, yes! I will double your wages!"
Mrs. Song paused slightly. The temptation of doubling the wages was very great.
She and Mrs. Sun looked at each other, and their decisions began to waver.
Seeing this, Gu Tang promised: "If she curses again, you can cook a bowl of soothing soup and feed it to her! Let her go to sleep peacefully! If she doesn't eat it, then pry open her mouth and pour it directly into her mouth!
As for her love of teasing people, you don't have to listen to her too much. Just make sure she is not hungry or thirsty, and does not poop or wet the bed.
Other things like massaging shoulders, rubbing backs, and massaging feet are not things you should do, so you don't need to pay attention to them. If you think her scolding is too noisy, you can go out and wait until she gets tired of scolding before going back to the room. ”
With Gu Tang's words, the two old women finally felt relieved and felt that the master of the house was still reasonable.
Mrs. Song gritted her teeth and said, "Okay! Miss, you have said this much. If we refuse again, we will be ignorant of the good and evil! From now on, we will do as you say."
Gu Tang breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he didn't resign, everything would be fine.
After comforting the two old women, she walked past them and went to see Feng.
Feng has calmed down now.
She already knew that Gu Tang was on the side of the old women, and she also heard what he just said. He wanted to suppress and torture her through the old women.
Now she was controlled by Gu Tang and was taken to Bei'an City alone. She couldn't leave and could do nothing but lie in the inn.
Feng felt very unhappy and did not hide her dissatisfaction on her face.
After glancing at Gu Tang, Feng ignored her and did not speak to her. Instead, she looked at her son beside Gu Tang with a gloomy face.
"You dragged me to Bei'an City without saying a word, and I didn't see you anywhere. Instead, you brought two unruly women to serve me!
I ask you, why did you bring me out here? Don't talk about curing me! If you just wanted to treat the disease, you should have brought your father here as well. Now you only brought me here, you must have bad intentions! ”
Gu Lianshan said impatiently, "If I had bad intentions, you would be buried by now! These past few days, I have been guarding you and dad day and night! Your beloved eldest son has been hiding in the house without even showing his face!"
Feng turned away and defended her eldest son: "Your eldest brother's illness has not yet recovered, and your eldest sister-in-law has disappeared. Now he is alone at home, and he has to recuperate and take care of three children. At this critical moment, he is the busiest. What are you ordering him to do?
You are a loser, and you don't have a proper business. Now that your family is in need of someone else, you should at least take on 80% to 90% of the responsibility, even if you don't take on all the responsibilities! ”
have to! This just doesn't make sense.
Gu Lianshan took a deep breath and tried to skip this topic: "Just stay in the inn and I will ask a doctor to come and treat you."
This is not a lie.
Although I was brought here to prevent her from making a fuss and hindering the division of the family business.
But he really wanted to take this opportunity to invite a few doctors to come and give his mother a thorough treatment.
But it was obvious that Feng didn't believe it.
She stopped her son who was about to call a doctor, looking hesitant.
After a while, she finally said, "You can let me stay here if you want! But I don't like those two women!"
Gu Lianshan felt a bad feeling in his mind, and suddenly remembered the bet his daughter made with him when they were outside the door just now.
Feng continued, "I can tell at a glance that these two old women are not proper maids who have been trained. They don't know the rules and can't serve others! Drive them away and buy a pair of maids or maids who are willing to sign a death contract to serve me!"
Gu Lianshan hung his face, and at this moment he just wanted to turn back time and slap himself hard.
His mother really has no shame at all!
Gu Tang had a playful look on his face, and he said in front of Feng: "Look, I just told you that my grandma will definitely ask us to buy maids and old women to serve her. After all, she is used to being lazy and hates work. Plus, after what she experienced in the past, my grandma wants to have maids and old women to serve her more than anyone else!"
This time, Gu Lianshan couldn't say a word of rebuttal.
His daughter is better at judging people than he is.
"What? In my current condition, can't I order maids and old women to serve me?" Gu Tang's words hit Feng's sore spot.
She raised her right hand, which could move, and pointed to her left side. "I can't move. If you guys serve me day and night, I won't need those maids or servants! But you guys just don't want to serve me. Since you guys don't want to, then we have to buy someone else!"
Gu Tang nodded: "Okay! If you want to buy someone, then let's buy them! On the market, a trained little girl costs at least six taels of silver, and two of them is twelve taels. You can take out the silver now, and I will buy as much as you want. How about that?"
"Bullshit!" Feng's expression was ferocious. "It's because you guys don't want to serve me that I'm thinking of hiring someone. You have to pay for this!"
"Who said I don't want to serve you? If I really didn't want to serve you, how could you still be alive today?" Gu Tang sneered.
Feng paused, and looked at Gu Tang with malicious intent: "Since you are willing to serve me, then you can stay today and kneel in front of the bed to serve me!"
Kneeling in front of the bed?
Gu Tang said with a fake smile: "This is not a funeral hall, who should I kneel to?"
"You!" Feng's eyes were bloodshot and she struggled to get up.
"Please stop making such a fuss." Gu Lianshan said in a cold tone, "I only ask you, do you want to call a doctor? If you do, your son will go get one right away. If you don't, then you will just leave it to fate. Whether you live or die, it all depends on God's will."
Feng suddenly froze.
Even though she is disgusted with herself lying in bed now, she is unwilling to die as long as there is a glimmer of hope!
Pursing her lips, Feng couldn't bring herself to ask for a doctor, so she could only turn her face away again and didn't want to speak.
Gu Lianshan didn't tolerate it and took Gu Tang away directly.
Feng was anxious as she watched her son leave. She hurriedly shouted to the maid standing in the corner, "Hurry up and chase him! Tell my son to call the doctor back!"
The two old women ignored her and no matter how she shouted, it was useless.
Gu Lianshan was in a bad mood after leaving the inn, his face was so gloomy that water could drip out.
Gu Ping'an followed behind, not daring to say a word of comfort.
Gu Tang, on the other hand, looked nonchalant: "You know my grandma very well, why bother with her. Let her say what she wants, and we just do our own thing, just ignore her."
These words did not comfort Gu Lianshan, but they were indeed true.
Fortunately, he was a broad-minded person and did not hold grudges. The cold wind outside helped to relieve some of the depression in his heart.
There was a clinic not far from the inn. Gu Lianshan didn't have the energy to carefully choose a clinic and a doctor at the moment, so he just picked one nearby.
After entering the clinic and looking around, Gu Lianshan picked an older man.
He stepped forward and briefly explained the situation, then asked someone to go to the inn.
Hearing that the patient was in the inn nearby, the old doctor did not refuse. He called the medicine boy to take the medicine box and followed Gu Lianshan to the inn.
Gu Tang asked Gu Ping'an to follow and help run errands, but he himself did not follow. Instead, he stayed in the clinic, saying that he wanted to buy some medicinal herbs.
Gu Lianshan didn't have time to take care of her at the moment, so he just told her not to run around.
After the others left, Gu Tang took out a dozen pieces of paper covered with words and handed them to the pharmacist in the clinic, asking him to look carefully to see if the herbs written on them were available in the clinic.
There were too many papers and one medicine boy was overwhelmed, so he called another medicine boy to help.
The medicine boy knew almost all the medicinal materials in the clinic. The two of them looked through it carefully and found that half of the medicinal materials recorded on the paper could be found in their clinic.
Upon learning that the clinic could find half of it, Gu Tang was overjoyed and quickly asked the pharmacist to quote the price. If it was expensive, he would buy less, and if it was cheap, he would buy more.
Many of the medicinal herbs recorded on the paper are rarely used, and no one may come for even half a year.
After a long time, I can no longer remember the price.
The medicine boys either remembered it wrong or mixed it up.
In the end, they had to ask Doctor Shi, the owner of the clinic, to come forward and quote the prices of all the herbs.
These herbs are not rare and most herbalists can dig them up in the mountains. There are very few diseases for which they can be used. Gu Tang bought a lot at once, so Doctor Shi gave him a discount.
There are twenty kinds of medicinal herbs in total, the largest one weighs ten kilograms, and the smallest one weighs only five kilograms.
All in all, just ask Gu Tang to give one hundred taels of silver.
Gu Tang secretly calculated and found that this was a real bargain!
Probably because they had not been sold for too long, Doctor Shi became anxious, fearing that if he kept the herbs any longer they would become a nuisance to him.
Now that she, a person who is like a sucker, has finally found it, she can’t wait to sell it!
Well, since both of them feel that they have gotten the better deal, let's just hand over the money and the goods.
Half of the medicinal herbs and spices were still missing, so she had to stroll around other medical clinics and the spice shop as well.
Doctor Shi was also anxious, because he knew that Gu Tang's father had taken the doctors from the clinic to the inn. Now that she was a girl, she had to take the initiative to buy so many medicinal herbs. Doctor Shi was afraid that her father would come back and regret it later.
He simply called all the medicine boys in the store over, half of them went to the warehouse to move the herbs, and the other half helped to bag and pack them.
Before long, all twenty kinds of medicinal materials were packed.
Gu Tang took out a hundred taels of silver and handed it over. After Doctor Shi took it, the transaction was completed.
Doctor Shi was the first to breathe a sigh of relief, and in a very good mood asked Gu Tang if he needed the help of a medicine boy to move the herbs to the inn or to the car.
Gu Tang was naturally happy to do so. He stepped forward and directed the medicine boys to move all the medicinal materials to an ox cart outside the inn.
After finishing all this, Gu Lianshan led the old doctor out of the inn.
Gu Tang didn't notice her father, who was still tying hemp ropes around the ox cart to prevent the medicinal herbs on the cart from falling off.
Gu Lianshan saw at a glance that there was a pile of bags of different sizes piled on the ox cart, and they were bulging with something.
Thinking of what his daughter had said before about buying medicinal herbs, Gu Lianshan's eyelids twitched and he turned around and went to Gu Tang.
"What's in here?" Gu Lianshan asked in a faint voice. When he got closer, he smelled a variety of messy medicinal scents.
So, these bags are full of medicinal herbs?
"How is my grandma? What did the doctor say?" Gu Tang continued to tie the rope without even raising his head.
Gu Lianshan scratched his head: "It's a bit troublesome. The left half of the body is basically hopeless to recover..."
