Traveling to ancient times with a sign-in system

Chapter 115 One Room Supports One

Perhaps it was her father's hot tea that had a soothing effect, and the east wing became quiet.

Gu Tang stood at the door of the kitchen and kept looking over there, feeling nervous, wondering if the eldest wife's family had hidden evil things.

She wanted to go over and eavesdrop on what was said, but out of the corner of her eye she saw Gu Laian coming out of the house, glancing at her with a sly look on his face.

Gu Tang's face turned cold. What? He wanted to go into the kitchen and steal things?

I looked back at the kitchen and saw two rice bowls on the chopping board, one with chopped chicken and the other with sliced ​​meat.

There is nothing else.

Did he want to steal raw meat?
Gu Tang went to the stove and took out a straight piece of firewood, holding it in his hand and went to find Gu Laian.

Gu Laian was still looking at the kitchen with a shifty look in his eyes. When he saw Gu Tang suddenly come out of the kitchen carrying firewood, his face turned pale and he turned around and went into the house.

"Stop! If you dare to go back to the house, I will break your legs today!" Gu Tang lowered his voice and shouted, scaring the man so much that he froze in place and dared not move.

Coming up to him, she asked him impatiently, "What were you looking at just now? Is there anything in the kitchen worth your attention?"

Gu Laian lowered his head, stammering and unable to speak.

"Hurry up and tell me! The clan leader is home today. If Dad knows you've been acting up again, I'll chop off your hands!"

Gu Laian shuddered all over and dared not hide it anymore: "I saw, I saw Ping'an that kid, carrying several earthenware jars from the east ear room into the kitchen, so I wanted to go into the kitchen to see what good things were..."

Gu Tang was speechless and couldn't help but hit him with the firewood in his hand!
"You short-sighted thing! Think carefully with your pig brain. What good things can be moved into the kitchen?! Who would move good things into the kitchen? Are they afraid that the thief won't be able to steal them?"

Gu Laian was stunned immediately. Yes, whose good things would go into the kitchen?

Thinking that he had caused a misunderstanding, Gu Laian looked embarrassed and uncomfortable.

"Go back to your room. Today is Dad's birthday. If you dare to go out and disappear, you'll never come back to this house again!"

Gu Laian was dissatisfied. What if it was his father's birthday? It wasn't his birthday! Who cared?
Although he thought so in his heart, he did not dare to show any dissatisfaction on his face.

He nodded obediently and quickly ran into the house.

Gu Tang couldn't stand his behavior, rolled his eyes, and went back to the kitchen in a bad mood.

Throwing the firewood back, she looked around the kitchen again. She didn't see any extra earthenware jars, but there was a large vat with a lid behind the stove.

He went forward and lifted the lid, and found four earthenware jars in the large vat.

When they pulled out the stopper from the earthen jar, they found three jars of oil and one jar of salt inside.

Thinking of what Gu Laian had said just now, Gu Tang suddenly realized that this was probably hidden by Feng.

Not long after, Gu Ping'an, who had gone out to deliver the copper coins, came back.

After the others entered the kitchen, Gu Tang pointed at the contents of the jar and asked him, "Did grandma hide it?"

"Second sister is so smart! That's right, these were all hidden by grandma." Gu Ping'an smiled and gave her a thumbs up.

"Stop talking nonsense! Where's the key to the east wing?" Gu Tang reached out and asked for it. Gu Ping'an took the key out of his pocket and handed it over. "Dad told me earlier that when you come back, I'll take some time to go to the east wing and look through everything inside to see if Grandma has hidden any other goodies. As long as it's pleasing to the eye, Dad said, move it all to our second room!"

A look of joy flashed across Gu Tang's face, and she grasped the key in her hand. She loved "treasure hunting" the most!

However, I'm afraid it's not convenient today.

"Today is Daddy's birthday, so it's not a good time to start. Let's wait until tomorrow! Go find Doctor Gu this afternoon and tell him that Grandma can't stand her paralysis and has been making a fuss. Ask him to get two packets of tranquilizing soup and boil it tomorrow to feed them so that I won't disturb them with the noise of rummaging through things."

"Oh!" Gu Ping'an responded happily.

Just as the brother and sister were about to finish their conversation, there was a sudden noise in the yard. They went out to take a look and saw that it was Patriarch Gu coming out from the east wing.

Clan leader Gu, who came out from the east wing, still had an angry look on his face. He ignored Gu Lianshan's attempts to keep him, waved his hand, and left the Gu family.

Gu Lianshan hurriedly followed and sent the person to the village entrance. He returned after a while.

Seeing her father coming back, Gu Tang hurried to greet him: "What's going on? Did the clan leader scold uncle?"

"It's more than just scolding." Gu Lianshan raised his voice and deliberately spoke to the main hall and the east wing without concealing his voice.

"The clan leader said that your grandparents' illness is the biggest burden, and we can't rely on just one son. Your uncle is the eldest son, so he should bear the majority of the burden. But considering that your uncle is a lazy scholar, he asked your father and me to help bear half of the burden. He said he would go back and discuss it with the elders of the clan, and they would decide to let us split up the family. Each of us will support your grandparents."

One room to support one person?
Gu Tang blinked and suddenly laughed, "Okay! We'll just help Uncle out. Dad, please talk to the clan leader and ask him to give my grandmother to our family. My grandmother and I have a special bond. When we're together, we have endless things to talk about!"

Gu Lianshan paused, understanding the meaning of his daughter's words, so he didn't reject her suggestion and responded loudly: "After dinner, I will go and tell them in the afternoon to give me your milk!"

Just as these words were about to fall, Old Man Gu's weak cry came from the main hall: "Second brother! Second brother! Your mother has fainted again! Hurry and call a doctor!"

The father and daughter looked at each other, with a guilty look in their eyes. Doctor Gu had told them yesterday that they should not be angry anymore, and they had made him angry again today.

"Would you like to see a doctor?" Gu Tang asked her father breathlessly.

Gu Lianshan shook his head quickly: "We can't invite him! The clan leader is about to leave home, and we immediately go to invite a doctor. What will it look like if the news gets out? There is still some medicine left from Doctor Gu yesterday. Dad will make a packet for your grandmother to drink and wait and see.

If he still doesn't wake up after a while, we can talk about calling a doctor. He survived yesterday's serious illness, so he will be fine today too!"

Okay, let’s do this for now.

Gu Tang turned around and called Gu Ping'an, asking him to move the stove out of the kitchen.

Gu Lianshan first went into the east room of the main hall and took a few looks. After confirming that the person had really fainted, he took out the medicine bag and boiled the medicine.

Old Man Gu didn't believe him. He thought that his son was filled with hatred after knowing all the things that happened in the past, and deliberately refused to see a doctor, just to let his wife die of illness!

He struggled to get up, took his crutches, and staggered to the east wing to find his eldest son, wanting him to go and ask Doctor Gu.

Gu Lianshan ignored him and let him go to the east wing.

Unfortunately, Mr. Gu overestimated his physical condition. After taking a few steps, his vision went dark and he fell to the ground unconscious.

Gu Lianshan saw it all happening and immediately felt overwhelmed.

You're already this sick, why are you still struggling? Do you really think your life is too long?
