Chapter 9 Father and Son
Hearing Gu Ping'an's voice, Gu Tang's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly whispered back, "Come in quickly!"
With a creaky sound, Gu Ping'an pushed the door open and rushed in, then quickly closed it again.
Gu Ping'an knew Gu Tang's character very well, so he didn't need her to urge him and just poured out everything.
"Just now, outside the courtyard gate, I heard the eldest wife's darling coaxing uncle, saying that her milk was failing and she was afraid she would die!
My uncle was drunk and had a gloomy face and was reluctant to come back. When he heard this, he panicked!
You didn't hear me just now, my uncle said, grandma can't die now, if she dies, who will give him the money to support his studies!"
Tsk tsk!
Gu Tang smacked his lips twice, and she said, "Why are you crying like your mother has died when you're fine?"
It turns out that this guy really thought his mother was dying!
This father and son duo is truly amazing, they are truly of the same blood!
Gu Tang pulled a wicked smile and came up with a bad idea: "Go out and tell everyone in the yard what this means! Let everyone in the family see how filial this father and son are! They are so filial that you can't find them even with a lantern!"
"Okay!" Gu Ping'an was also a person who was always looking for trouble, so he went to the yard to complain happily.
Gu Liansheng drank too much, and he would doze off after drinking, so his crying had subsided.
He lay on Feng's legs, groaning intermittently and was about to fall asleep.
Feng was still crying, and no one in the courtyard tried to comfort her.
Old man Gu in the main room couldn't bear to hear the wailing sound, so he walked out of the room with a dark face. He opened his mouth to scold his second son Gu Lianshan, wanting to say that he didn't know how to persuade him.
Just as he said a word, Gu Ping'an, who came running over from the west wing, shouted at him with a slightly cheerful voice: "Master! You don't know, my uncle and cousin are very filial!"
Having said that, Gu Ping'an repeated to everyone word for word what he had just learned from Gu Tang.
After learning the words, he deliberately asked: "Tell me, is my uncle very filial?"
This time, Mr. Gu not only had a gloomy face, but was shaking with anger!
Feng also calmed down instantly, and her sad eyes quickly turned cold.
Gu Tianbao, who was hiding in the east wing, was so panicked that he had no idea what to do. He didn't expect that the lie he told would be exposed, so he subconsciously hid behind Gu Lian.
When Gu Lian saw his character, she had no choice but to protect him behind her, secretly hating Gu Ping'an for meddling in other people's business!
At this time, her parents could not be relied upon, and her eldest sister was staying in the house and refused to come out, so Gu Lian had no choice but to step forward and take charge.
"Don't accuse me! Tianbao is a scholar! Scholars are the most sensible and filial. He would never say such unfilial words!"
Gu Lian looked very confident, and then turned the tables: "In my opinion, such unfilial words probably came from you! You are born stupid, and you are jealous of Tianbao's intelligence and study, so you want to ruin Tianbao's reputation!"
This seemed to give Feng a way out and an excuse. She turned around and scolded Gu Ping'an, "You are so young, but you don't want to learn good things. Instead, you learn to gossip like that lowly guy! How come you are so much like your father?"
Gu Ping'an didn't care about being scolded by Feng. Just like his second sister said, if a dog bites you, can you turn around and bite the dog back?
Whenever you get scolded by your grandma, just compare her to a dog. There's no need to be angry.
But Gu Lian is different.
The second sister said that you can’t be timid when facing the three siblings of the eldest wife, just go ahead and fight!
Just run after the fight, and leave the rest to Dad.
But it doesn't seem appropriate to hit Gu Lian at this moment. There are too many people here. It's better to just curse at her.
So Gu Pingan ignored Feng's existence and spoke directly to Gu Lian: "You can't just deny this. If I said such unfilial words, I would never live in peace for the rest of my life!
If what my cousin said is true, then he will never be able to study again, and he will never be able to pass the imperial examination and will be a poor scholar until his death!"
This is like stirring up a hornet's nest!
Before the person concerned could react, Wei, who had been hiding in the main hall, rushed out with a ferocious face: "You little bastard! How dare you curse someone in broad daylight! I'll beat you to death and be done with it! Otherwise you'll ruin my son's fortune!"
Wei held a hammer in his hand that he had found from somewhere and smashed it towards Gu Ping'an's head!
Gu Ping'an was not afraid at all because his father was there.
Sure enough, Gu Lianshan kicked him directly, knocking him and his stick to the ground in the corridor.
"Why are you so anxious? Didn't San Ya say that your precious boy is sensible and filial? He didn't say those unfilial words.
Since it wasn't your darling who said that, why are you so angry? My son is scolding the coward who said something unfilial but didn't dare to admit it! Why are you so anxious? "
Wei shuddered all over, holding her stomach and her face turned pale.
Gu Lian wasn't in a much better condition either. Her face was filled with shock and panic, her hands were trembling and twisted together, and her palms were full of sweat.
Gu Tianbao, who was standing behind her, was as timid as a mouse. He was so scared when he saw his own mother being kicked that he almost lost his courage.
His eyes moved upwards and met Gu Lianshan's sideways gaze, which frightened him so much that he immediately begged for mercy: "Second, Second Uncle! I didn't mean to say that!
"My dad was having a great time drinking and refused to come back with me. I had no choice but to make up this excuse... I really didn't mean to curse you to death! Really! I swear!"
Gu Lian closed her eyes and quickly lowered her head, her eyes full of anger and unwillingness, and she cursed inwardly, "Idiot!"
"Erlang, Erlang, come on, why didn't you just admit it earlier? Look at what has happened. It's all because of you..."
“Second brother!” Old Master Gu’s eyes darkened, and he interrupted him, striking him with the cane in his hand, “Rebellious son! How dare you fight with your sister-in-law!”
"Beat him! If we don't beat him hard, he will become more disrespectful of his elders!" Feng, who was still sitting on the ground, also shouted, with an unreadable expression on her face.
Mrs. Feng wanted to get up and help her husband teach their second son a lesson, but her eldest son, who was lying on her lap, had fallen asleep.
She struggled and pushed a few times, but failed. Her old face turned very long and she turned around to curse Wei.
"But after getting kicked, are you dead or have your legs broken? Who are you lying on the ground for?! Hurry up and help the boss up, and send him back to the house to sleep!"
Wei wiped her tears, not daring to say a word, and stood up despite the pain, going over to help Gu Liansheng up.
Drunk people are always very heavy, and Wei was not feeling well at the moment, so she couldn't get up at all, which made Feng scold her again and again.
Gu Lianshan, who had been dodging the cane, had a flash of light in his eyes, and deliberately staggered his feet, falling towards Gu Liansheng.
The cane that Old Man Gu threw at him also followed him towards Gu Liansheng.
But who would have thought that Gu Lianshan would turn a corner halfway through the journey! He ran away?!
Old Master Gu was not as agile as him. He couldn't retract the cane in his hand and hit Gu Liansheng on the forehead with the cane.
