Chapter 138 Chapter 137: Spendthrift? Then don't eat it!
But when he saw the rice porridge, meat slices, and an egg in the bowl, Mr. Gu's face turned cold again.
"Don't you say you can't afford to feed this whole family? If you can't afford to feed them, what's in this bowl? Rice, meat, and eggs. How much wealth do you have to squander like this! With the way you eat, you really can't afford to feed this whole family!"
This is really unreasonable.
Gu Lianshan was not willing to tolerate it and snatched the bowl away: "Originally, because you were sick, the whole family tightened their belts to save money for this dinner for you. The original intention was to take good care of you. Who would have thought that saving a good meal for you would turn out to be a waste of money for me!"
Old Master Gu didn't expect his son to react so strongly. He was just angry and gave him a lecture in a sarcastic tone.
As a father, can't he give his son a lecture? He did nothing wrong!
Mr. Gu had a gloomy face and refused to give in.
Gu Lianshan did not back down either: "Since you say I am a spendthrift, then you don't have to eat this meal! From now on, my family will no longer save food for you. I will only cook porridge and pickles for you every day!"
After saying this, Gu Lianshan turned around and left with the bowl in his hand.
Old Man Gu was dumbfounded at the moment, watching his son lift the door curtain and leave. His stomach growled again. He smelled the lingering rice and meat aroma in the air. His stomach, which had been hungry for a day, twitched and spasmed, and he kept regurgitating sour water.
Finally, unable to bear the hunger, Mr. Gu anxiously shouted outside: "Where are you going to take the food? You unfilial son! Do you want to starve your own father to death?!"
"My son cannot bear the title of 'spendthrift', so I'll cook porridge for you! From now on, I'll give you porridge every day!" Gu Lianshan outside shouted loudly towards the house.
Old Master Gu was so angry that he didn't care about his face anymore and shouted, "I don't want to eat porridge! Bring the rice over here!"
There was no movement from Gu Lianshan outside.
After waiting patiently for a while, I vaguely heard Gu Lianshan's voice coming from the west wing, saying that Mr. Gu didn't like rice porridge, meat slices and eggs, so from now on I only need to serve him porridge.
Hearing this, Mr. Gu almost fainted from anger. He kept slapping the bed and cursing viciously: "Rebellious son! Rebellious son! Rebellious son..."
Unfortunately, no matter how he cursed, it was useless. Gu Lianshan was a bad guy with a bad temper. If you insisted on going against him, he would really not recognize your relatives!
Not long after, Gu Lianshan came in again with a bowl.
This time, the bowl no longer contained rice porridge, but a bowl of dark brown millet paste with a few chopsticks of pickles on top. It was steaming hot and you could tell at a glance that it was about to be served.
Before Mr. Gu could react, Gu Lianshan had already placed the bowl on the table beside his bed.
"Here! This is the pickled vegetable paste you've been dreaming about. If you're hungry, you can eat it. If you're not hungry, you can do whatever you want with it."
After saying this, he ran away without waiting for Mr. Gu to speak, for fear that Mr. Gu would throw the bowl on him.
In the past, Mr. Gu would have picked up the bowl and smashed it at his son without saying a word.
But today he was so hungry that he couldn't stand it anymore. Even though the rice porridge turned into paste, he was reluctant to smash it.
With his big hands as dry as tree bark, trembling, he picked up the bowl. Looking at the porridge in the bowl, Grandpa Gu's eyes turned red.
"What a misfortune for our family! What a misfortune for our family! To have given birth to such a beast..."
Gu Lianshan did not hear his father's curse. He had returned to the west wing and was sitting at the table eating.
Sitting on his left were Gu Tang and Gu Ping'an, and on his right were Gu Mei and Gu Laian.
When the two siblings smelled the fragrance, they shamelessly kept rubbing against it.
Gu Lianshan still remembered what Gu Mei had done before, so without Gu Tang asking him to say anything, he directly served her a bowl of porridge and did not allow her to eat rice porridge and meat, and she was not even given any eggs!
Gu Laian got a bowl of rice porridge and meat, and an egg. He was so happy that his eyes, which were already small to begin with, instantly narrowed into slits.
Gu Mei was so angry that tears kept falling. With her red, swollen and scratched face, she glared at Gu Tang fiercely, firmly believing that Gu Tang was instigating her behind her back.
Gu Tang couldn't bear her, and threw his chopsticks down: "Who are you staring at with those two holes! Aren't you tired of being beaten?"
Hearing this, Gu Mei's cheek twitched for a moment, and she felt her face starting to hurt again!
As a girl, she cares most about her reputation and face. Now that she has been beaten like this by Si Ya, she doesn't know if it will leave scars.
I had hoped that her father would come back and give Si Ya a lecture after seeing her miserable state, but I didn't expect her father to turn a blind eye!
He clearly saw the injuries on her face, but he didn't even say a word of comfort to her, let alone lecture her.
The more Gu Mei thought about it, the angrier she became. She covered her face with her hands, stood up, and went back to her room to cry.
No one sitting at the table paid any attention to her.
Even Gu Laian who was beside her didn't speak to her. He just focused on eating the fried meat with pickles in his bowl.
Seeing that his son was obedient and did not foolishly stand on the side of the eldest daughter, Gu Lianshan rarely liked him and ordered him to do something.
"Tomorrow morning, when it's almost dawn, Dad will wake you up. Go to Fengjiazhuang and invite your uncle to come over. Tell him that our family is splitting up, and invite him to be a witness."
Fengjiazhuang is the village where Feng's mother's family lives. It is about fifteen miles away from Shanghe Village, which is not a short distance.
Gu Laian was a little reluctant: "Dad, it's more than ten miles. If we walk on foot, how long will it take to walk back and forth?"
"Who told you to walk?" Gu Lianshan glared at him, "Tomorrow your father will find your uncle Shunzi and ask him to drive a bullock cart to accompany you."
Gu Laian breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that he could go by ox cart, but he was still reluctant.
He glanced stealthily at Gu Tang and Gu Ping'an opposite him, feeling deeply unfair!
In the middle of winter, why do you have to order yourself around? Why don't you order the other two around?
Gu Laian was furious, but he continued eating without saying a word.
Gu Lianshan felt impatient when he didn't hear his son's reply: "Do you have hair growing inside your ears? Daddy is talking to you and you can't even reply?"
Sensing the anger in his father's words, Gu Laian immediately tightened his skin, and the reluctance in his heart immediately dissipated: "Go, go, go, I will get up early tomorrow morning and go with Uncle Shunzi..."
Hearing this, Gu Lianshan's anger subsided a little. He glanced at his son and wanted to discipline him again.
It doesn't matter if this guy is not smart, as long as he is obedient and slowly changes his temper, and follows the second daughter well in the future, any leak will be enough for him to use.
But if he continues to be unruly, then don't blame him as a father for being cruel. In two years, when he is older, he will be separated from his parents to live on his own so that he will not bring trouble to the family.
Gu Laian didn’t know what his father was thinking. If he knew what his father was thinking, he would have knelt down and hugged his father’s thighs and cried!
He has no skills, no way to make a living, and even no land. If we really want to separate him from others, he will starve to death!
Gu Laian, who was completely clueless at the moment, had a lot of little thoughts in his mind. Thinking that he would have to go out and suffer tomorrow, he bravely stretched his chopsticks into the plate in front of his father, picked up a chopstick full of meat slices and put them in his own bowl.
Gu Tang glanced at him and said nothing, as long as he didn't put his chopsticks into her plate.
After dinner, Gu Lianshan immediately sent Gu Laian back to his room to sleep: "I know you are a sleepyhead, go to bed early tonight. Tomorrow morning when I knock on the door and call you, if you dare to linger, watch out for your legs!"
Gu Laian shuddered, nodded tremblingly, and ran out like a rabbit.
Speaking of getting up early, Gu Laian is not the only one who will have to get up early tomorrow. Gu Ping'an can't sleep in either. He has to get up early to make tea. When the clan leader and elders come home, they always have to have a bowl of tea to warm themselves up.
As for Gu Tang, Gu Lianshan did not ask her to get up too early, but she had to get up before the clan leader came home. If the clan leader knew that the girl in the family stayed in bed until noon, she would probably be scolded.
In fact, Gu Tang has developed the habit of going to bed early and getting up early, but the weather is too cold, especially in the morning, it is so cold that even his bones ache!
Gu Tang usually lies in his warm bed, staying in bed until the beginning of the 9th hour before reluctantly getting up.
Back in his room, Gu Tang added some charcoal into the stove, washed up with the hot water in the room, and then lay down in bed shivering.
The quilt was freezing cold. Every time this happened, Gu Tang would think of the cat she had in her previous life. In winter, she would put the cat at her feet to help warm her feet.
There are people in Shanghe Village who keep dogs, but I have never seen anyone who keeps cats. When I have time, I will ask her father if there is anyone who keeps cats. If there is anyone willing to sell one, I can sell one to him and keep it as one.
After lying wrapped in the quilt for a long time, the bed gradually became warm. Gu Tang sighed and called up the system panel.
She hasn't signed in today, not because she forgot, but because she hasn't figured out what to sign in for.
After counting, she now lacks a lot of things, but she can only pick up the important things.
Lying on the bed and looking around the room, Gu Tang pondered for a long time, then took out the incense machine and placed it on the bed, holding it with both hands and began to sign in -
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing today's sign-in! Obtained the Incense Making Machine skill (permanent version)! ]
Um???
Um!!!
Incense Maker Skills (Permanent Version)!!!
Wait! Is that what she thought?!
Gu Tang stood up suddenly, ignoring the cold outside the bed, put on his fur coat, sat up straight, and clicked the system panel with trembling hands.
I clicked on "Incense Making Machine Skills (Permanent Version)", and soon, a row of tiny words appeared on it.
After reading it carefully, I understood it clearly.
As she had guessed, this was something similar to superpowers. After it was transmitted into her body, she would have all the skills of an incense-making machine.
After reading the skill introduction, Gu Tang realized that the incense made by the incense machine has a similar effect to buff.
The same incense, made by an incense making machine, is in the most perfect state in terms of appearance and effect.
The Incense Maker Skills (Permanent Version) replicates all the skills of the Incense Maker one-to-one. In other words, in the future, she will be like the Incense Maker, and the incense she makes will have a baff effect.
The most important thing is that it can ignore the principles!
For example, backflow incense. In principle, backflow incense can only be cone-shaped. If it is made into the shape of a flower, the smoke will not flow downwards.
But the incense making machine can ignore this principle and the smoke from the flower-shaped backflow incense it produces can still flow downwards.
The incense making machine skill also has this feature. People who possess this skill can make backflow incense, and no matter what shape it is, the smoke will go downwards.
Gu Tang held the perfume maker in his arms and kissed it a dozen times, then lay on the quilt and laughed silently!
This is such a great treasure!
Gu.The unlucky guy.Tang finally got lucky!!!
In order to vent his excitement, Gu Tang took back the incense machine, then grinned and clicked [Skill Transfer]!
A faint blue light flickered around the system panel, and then the system panel automatically disappeared and turned into a blue light that merged into Gu Tang's chest.
Gu Tang was startled for a moment, and touched his chest with both hands a few times, but found nothing unusual.
Soon, an inexplicable warm current began to spread from the chest to the surrounding area, gradually spreading to the whole body. The whole body felt warm, as if soaking in a hot spring.
Along with this warm current, sleepiness instantly came over me.
Gu Tang yawned and felt something was wrong. After a few breaths, she was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes!
Resisting the urge to stay awake for the last time, she struggled to take off her fur coat, then lay down in the quilt, and fell asleep in the blink of an eye.
…
Gu Tang dreams almost every night, especially when his sleep time is extended, he basically has a dream every night.
After waking up, most people can’t remember what happened in their dreams. They just feel that the dreams were a mess with everything.
But this time I had no dreams all night long.
When her father called Gu Laian outside to get up, Gu Tang opened her eyes immediately.
There is no sleepy feeling, no blank mind, and no limp feeling when about to wake up.
At this moment, she felt refreshed and full of energy!
This is obviously not normal.
Gu Tang got up, dressed, and jumped a few times on the ground. The chest tightness and shortness of breath left by the original owner were gone, and he felt as light as a swallow.
Can this skill also cure diseases and strengthen the body?
Gu Tang scratched his head, he really couldn't figure it out.
Fortunately, everything seems to be moving in a good direction at the moment. Since it is good, there is no need to dwell on it and insist on figuring it out.
Right now, the most important thing is to check whether the skills have been successfully transmitted.
Gu Tang randomly took out two spices from the system backpack, added water and mixed everything. Then, she muttered to herself: backflow incense. At the same time, she held the incense in her hands and kneaded it into a ball. She wanted to make a "four-leaf clover".
When he was halfway through pinching the four-leaf clover, Gu Tang felt his hands getting slightly warm. He didn't know if it was an illusion.
She stopped pinching the incense, raised her hands and observed carefully, and finally confirmed that it was not an illusion. Her hands did feel slightly warm when they touched the incense.
Is this a skill being released?
Gu Tang shook his head, still confused.
She picked up the half-pinched incense stick and continued to pinch it.
I thought the fragrance would be loose and fall apart, but in her hands it was as obedient as plasticine.
And her clumsy hands suddenly seemed to have come to life with intelligence, and she performed all kinds of delicate and flexible movements effortlessly, as if she had done them thousands of times.
Not long after, a lifelike "four-leaf clover" appeared in her hand.
Except for the color, everything else is alike.
