Chapter 136: No one can be as shameless as

Chapter 136: No one can be as shameless as

Gu Liansheng's face turned red with shame. He pointed at Gu Lianshan and cursed him three times in anger: "Asshole! Asshole! Asshole!"

Gu Lianshan ignored him and continued to carry the medicinal herbs on the ox cart with his son. Gu Tang was standing nearby, looking at Gu Liansheng with interest.

"How dare you speak nonsense about our mother! What son would say such things? She is our own mother who gave birth to us! You are an unfilial person!"

Unfilial? Gu Tang suddenly laughed. These two words sounded like a joke coming out of Gu Liansheng's mouth.

She stepped forward, stood in front of her father, and faced Gu Liansheng directly: "Uncle, you are right, my father is indeed unfilial. My grandmother believed the doctor in Bei'an City and insisted on taking medicine for a year or so to cure her illness. She would not come back unless she got the medicine. My father had no choice but to arrange for my grandmother to stay in the inn, and also hired two maids to take care of her, and gave her another month's worth of medicine.

You tell me, if my father was a filial son, he would have agreed to get a year's worth of medicine without hesitation. But my father was unfilial and only got me a month's worth of medicine. Uncle, you are a very filial son. In our family, when it comes to filial piety, if you are second to none, no one dares to claim to be first!

You see, my father, this unfilial man, arranged an inn for my grandma, hired a maid to take care of her, and even prescribed a month's worth of medicine for her. If it were you, as a filial son, you would definitely buy a year's worth of medicine for my grandma and bring her back personally! ”

Gu Liansheng's face looked grim. These words sounded like he was disparaging the second brother, but in fact, he was openly scolding him!

Before Gu Liansheng could get angry, Gu Lianshan followed Gu Tang's words and shouted, "My daughter is right! Filial son, look, an unfilial person like me has done this, what should you do as a filial son? Let's not talk about anything else, just give the money for mother's medicine this year, and I don't need you to take care of mother's eating, drinking, defecating and urinating in the future, everything will be on our second house."

Gu Liansheng's face turned green!

The cost of medicine for a year would be at least several taels of silver! The shameless Lao Er really dares to say that!

He pursed his lips and stiffly talked about the relationship between mother and son: "That's our biological mother. It's only natural to buy medicine for her. This is the duty of a son! How much is the medicine money for a year? At most four or five taels of silver. I know you have money in your hand. Obviously, you can agree to mother's request, buy her a year's medicine, and take her back happily.

But you only bought one month's supply! It would have been fine if he had just left my mother in Bei'an City, but he came back to plot against me. Second brother, if you had used all these evil ideas in the right way, you might have found a legitimate business long ago. ”

Gu Lianshan was so angry at his expression that he laughed: "I know you are a shameless person, but I didn't expect you to be so shameless! The medicine I want to prescribe costs fifty copper coins per packet. I take one packet a day. I want to take it for a year, which means eighteen taels per year! Who told you four or five taels?!"

"Eighteen taels?!" Gu Liansheng was shocked and shook his head repeatedly in disbelief: "Are you kidding me? Fifty copper coins for a packet of medicine? Does the medicine contain ginseng or ganoderma lucidum?!"

Before Feng's medicine was unloaded from the car, Gu Tang unwrapped a package and threw it to Gu Liansheng: "Uncle, if you don't believe me, just take the medicine to find Doctor Gu and ask him to identify it and see if this package of medicine is worth fifty copper coins."

Gu Liansheng hurriedly caught the medicine bag with both hands, and his heart skipped a beat, feeling that this might be true.

Fifty copper coins for a bag, can I eat it for a whole year? !

Is he crazy? Do you think the Gu family is a wealthy family?

"Uncle, the inn where my grandma lives costs twenty copper coins a day, and the two maids we hired also cost twenty copper coins a day. And the daily food and drink are all calculated separately. At the end of the day, it costs at least twenty or thirty copper coins, and at most fifty or sixty copper coins.

When we came back, my grandma was clamoring for meat. If she ate meat once a day, it would probably cost another twenty or thirty copper coins. After all the calculations, my grandma's stay in the inn for one day would cost one hundred copper coins. Now the money is still owed and will be settled when we pick up the person.

Now the money for this month's medicine has been paid off, one and a half taels of silver. In addition, the doctor said that it would be best to take some nourishing soups and medicines together with the meal, and also eat good meals every day. In short, my grandma's disease is a 'rich man's disease' and it all depends on money to cure it! ”

Hearing this, Gu Liansheng's heart sank and his face turned pale.

Gu Tang added, "The money for the medicine today is from the money we got from selling the sheep last time. We have accepted it and don't want you to pay half of it. But from now on, you and my father will have to split it in half. Just like you said just now, my grandmother is your and my father's biological mother. It is only natural to buy medicine for your biological mother. It is the duty of a son!"

Gu Liansheng was immediately panicked. The cost of medicine alone was eighteen taels of silver a year. Add to that the tonic medicine, food and drink, etc. It would take at least twenty or thirty taels of silver to make ends meet!

If they split it in half, he and the second brother would each get more than ten taels of silver!

This is not just a matter of a dozen copper coins, it is not something that can be done easily. If he saves a little, these dozen taels of silver will be enough for him and his son to study for a year.

If all the money was given to his mother to buy medicine for her illness, what would he and his son do?

Just stop studying like this?

Like the second brother, digging for food in the fields all your life and being an inferior person?

The more Gu Liansheng thought about it, the more flustered he became, and he was extremely angry. His mother always only cared about herself and never thought about him.

If he could save so much money, he could study for a few more years with peace of mind. When he had accumulated enough, he could take the imperial examination again.

Now, he has to spend so much money to buy medicine. The second son's family was not satisfied with his studying to begin with, and this time they might take the opportunity to cause trouble.

His eyes fell on Gu Tang, and Gu Liansheng finally had an idea and remembered something.

He asked Gu Tang with hope in his heart: "Si Ya, did you sell the deer a while ago? How much silver did you get? You should use the silver to treat your grandma's illness! You are the most filial, and your grandma loves you the most, always taking care of you and teaching you. If you are a good person, you should use the silver to treat your grandma's illness!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Lianshan became immediately annoyed and wanted to step forward and teach Gu Liansheng a lesson.

Why are they all eyeing his daughter's money? !

Gu Tang grabbed her father's clothes, stopped him, turned around and said to Gu Liansheng: "Speaking of love, my grandma loves you the most, and your precious son is the second. Without saying anything else, just because my grandma has been good to you over the years, if you are a filial son, you should hand over the silver that my aunt stole. I don't want it either, and leave it all for grandma's medical treatment!

Right now my grandmother needs money for her medical treatment. Don't say you don't have it, and don't say my aunt has spent it all. If you are a good and responsible person, considering that you are the eldest son, you should take the initiative to step forward and take on this responsibility. Otherwise, those people outside might break your spine! Don’t you think so? ”

Gu Liansheng's face turned red after hearing these words. He was so angry that he pointed at Gu Tang and cursed: "You are a girl who is not presentable. You have the right to talk back to me? You are picking on me! In this family, apart from your grandparents, no one else can pick on me! I only ask you, will you hand over the money from selling the deer?!"

Gu Tang's face darkened, and she directly let go of her father's clothes, and urged her father in a cold tone: "Beat him! You shameless guy!"

Gu Lianshan had wanted to beat him up a long time ago, and his sandbag-like fist instantly smashed over -

"Ah!!!" Gu Liansheng was caught off guard and took the punch head-on without even trying to dodge. He covered his head, staggered two steps, and fell to the ground.

Gu Tang paused. Gu Liansheng’s head injury had not healed yet, and he was hit on the head again this time. He must not make the injury worse!

The more she thought about it, the more worried she became. Gu Tang pulled her father back and quietly reminded him, "Don't hit him on the head. He's already injured, so don't blame it on you! Hit him on the body! He has flesh on his body, so you can hit him as much as you want."

Thanks to the good food he had eaten since childhood, Gu Liansheng had always been slightly plump. After reaching middle age, he became even more plump.

But his facial features are very suitable for his wealthy appearance, and he looks even more like a decent person!

Although he had lost some weight these days without Feng's partial care, he still had more flesh on his body than others.

Hitting her where there's lots of flesh is painful but won't cause any harm. Her father can beat her as much as he wants!

Unfortunately, Gu Lianshan hit him twice, and an angry shout rang out in the yard: "Second brother!"

Looking for the source of the sound, I saw Mr. Gu coming out from the main hall door leaning on a cane.

"What are you doing? Your elder brother's condition is getting better, why did you hit him again? What can't you talk about? If your elder brother is wrong, you can just tell me, why do you have to hit him?"

Looking at the farce in the courtyard, people were obviously very angry, but they were extremely restrained and patient. They did not push the matter onto Gu Lianshan without any right away, and there was obviously room for maneuver in their words.

Gu Tang blinked. This was not Mr. Gu's usual style.

When their eyes met, Mr. Gu's face could not be seen clearly as he was standing with his back to the light. However, Gu Tang felt that his gaze was on her, and then a surge of malice came over her.

I thought Mr. Gu would catch me and scold me, but strangely, he just looked away.

Then he said to the brothers Gu Lianshan and Gu Liansheng: "Both of you follow me into the house. I have something to ask you."

After saying this, he returned to the east room tremblingly on his crutches, without caring about the brothers' reactions.

Gu Liansheng was very dissatisfied when he saw his father saw him lying on the ground without saying a word of concern and did not even scold his second son, and his eyes were cold.

He looked at Gu Lianshan with a distorted expression: "You are so proud now. Now that Dad is on your side, I am afraid there is no place for me in this family anymore!"

"Since you know there's no place for you, why don't you get out of here?!" Gu Lianshan continued to speak ill of him, and he felt more and more that Gu Liansheng was mentally ill.

How did he know that the old man was on his side? Are those two holes above the nose used for breathing?

With a sneer, Gu Lianshan spat at him directly, then turned around and gently asked Gu Tang to go back to the house: "Dad will go find your grandfather. It's cold outside. Go back to the house first. Wait for Ping'an to move the herbs. See what you want to eat and let Ping'an make it for you."

Gu Tang responded and whispered, "Tell me about grandma."

There was something else behind these words. Gu Lianshan understood what his daughter meant and nodded: "Don't worry, Dad knows what's going on."

After saying this, he walked into the main room.

Gu Tang watched her father go in, then glanced at Gu Liansheng who was sitting on the ground, ignored him, and turned around to help Gu Ping'an move things.

Gu Liansheng was so angry that his vision went dark. He shouted towards the east wing, calling out his daughter and son, and asked them to help themselves back to the house.

That’s right, go back to the room, don’t go to the main room.

What Mr. Gu said just now was also heard in the east wing. When he heard people clamoring to go back to the house, Gu Qing couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Didn't Master ask you to go to the main room?"

"Why are you going?" Gu Liansheng immediately went berserk, yelling at the main hall at the top of his voice: "Your father is now a sickly person, and everyone looks down on him! This family is the same with or without me, so why am I going? If I get in someone's way, they'll beat me up, and I'm afraid I won't be able to save my life!"

After yelling, he scolded Gu Qing harshly twice, then returned to the east wing with an angry face.

In the east room of the main hall, Gu Liansheng's words came in word for word, and the room was silent.

When everyone outside quieted down, Gu Lianshan asked his father, "With his temper, how did you see that he has a future? Apart from other things, just looking at his brain, can he pass the imperial examination? Can he become an official? Aren't you afraid that he will bring disaster to the whole family?"

Mr. Gu's face turned ugly for a moment, and he was furious, but he did not open his mouth to argue.

Soon, as if he had thought of something, his anger subsided. He then stared at Gu Lianshan and asked about Feng's affairs.

"Let's talk about your elder brother later. What exactly is going on with your mother? Tell me in detail from the beginning."

Can you elaborate?

become! Absolutely nothing is left out!

Gu Lianshan faced his father's unfriendly gaze with a normal expression, and spoke a few words that exaggerated the matter.

There are both true and false things, but everything is in line with Feng's style and temperament, making it impossible to refute it.

Even Mr. Gu, who thought he knew Feng well, did not have any doubts at all when he heard that Feng was determined to take a year's worth of medicine and would not come back until he had taken enough.

Just because this is indeed something that Feng can do.

Mr. Gu was only concerned about one thing at the moment: "Do I only need to take the medicine for one year, or do I need to continue taking it if there is no improvement after one year, or if there is improvement?"

"The doctor said that if you have a rich family, you can eat it all year round. After all, the longer you eat it, the better it will be for the symptoms. But if you want to completely cure the disease or heal your hands and feet, that's unlikely. Being able to walk a few steps with a cane is already very rare."

If that's the case, then isn't it a waste of money?

Although Mr. Gu did not say this out loud, his expression was indeed like this.

Gu Lianshan also saw through it and pushed the blame onto his mother: "My mother is now insane. As long as there is hope of curing her disease, she will hold on to it. It's useless for you to say anything now, unless you can lose face and find a few aunts to tie up the person and bring him back."
