Traveling to ancient times with a sign-in system

Chapter 118 If I can’t use you anymore, I’ll sell you out!
Not getting a response, Gu Liansheng cursed even more fiercely, grabbing and smashing everything within his reach.

After a while, the sounds of various things falling to the ground kept coming from the inner room, which scared the three siblings so much that they almost cried!
This was not a solution. Gu Qing gritted his teeth and pushed Gu Lian into the inner room, asking her to explain to their father why she didn't cook.

Gu Lian didn't expect Gu Qing to dare to do this. After staggering into the inner room, tears flowed down her face.

I didn't dare to move forward or backward. I just stood there stupidly at the door, crying.

Gu Tianbao outside was also frightened by Gu Qing's sudden action. When he came to his senses, he immediately wanted to quarrel with Gu Qing.

Gu Qing scolded him in a low voice: "Shut up! If you dare to make a fuss, I'll push you in too!"

Being scolded by Gu Qing like this, Gu Tianbao got angry. He was afraid of his father but not his elder sister!
Relying on his fat body and great strength, Gu Tianbao took advantage of Gu Qing's unpreparedness and simply imitated Gu Qing's movements, taking the initiative and pushing Gu Qing in!
Gu Qing also didn't expect that Gu Tianbao would dare to treat him like this. After entering the inner room, he immediately turned around and beat him up!
At this moment, Gu Liansheng, who was lying on the bed, suddenly sat up, bent down to pick up the shoes on the ground, and threw them over -

Gu Lian had been paying attention to her father's movements. Seeing this, she quickly dodged, and the shoe passed over her and hit Gu Qing behind her.

The sour-smelling shoes had a very strong odor. After they hit her body, Gu Qing smelled it immediately and was so disgusted that she almost vomited!
Being hit by the shoe meant that her father had seen her. Now Gu Qing didn't dare to go out anymore and she retracted her outstretched foot angrily.

"Since you're all alive! Why don't you even cook a meal?! I feed you with food, clothing, and other necessities, yet you've only managed to raise two lazy bums! If you don't obey me anymore, I'll have your grandmother take you away and hand you over to that human trafficker to sell you!"

Hearing this, Gu Lian cried even harder, and Gu Qing also shed tears, feeling extremely frightened.

Gu Qing understood her father. Since he said this, it meant that he had thought about this in his mind for a long time!

Knowing this, she was even more terrified than Gu Lian. Her father actually wanted to sell her out?!
If he really needed money, he could just sell that dead girl Gu Lian. Why sell her as well?

In order to save her father, she even took out her own money and bought a lot of medicine. Unexpectedly, her father didn't appreciate her kindness at all!
Gu Qing lowered his head, shocked and angry!
"Dad..." Gu Lian sobbed and wiped her tears. She no longer dared to hide it and told him the reason why she didn't cook.

"Si Ya said we are not allowed to use the firewood chopped by the second branch. If we dare to use the firewood from the second branch again, she will burn our house in the middle of the night. We have no firewood and can't cook..."

Gu Liansheng immediately flew into a rage: "You brainless bastards! She forbade you from using firewood, and you just sat in the house waiting to starve to death?! Can't you go into the mountains to chop firewood?! Are your legs broken or disabled? Is it so difficult to walk up the mountain?!"

Sisters Gu Qing and Gu Lian paused for a moment. They also wanted to go over and chop wood, but they had never done wood-chopping work before, and it would not look good for a girl to go into the mountains to chop wood.

Besides the fact that it was not good for their appearance, there was another point: they all had bound feet. Not to mention going into the mountains to chop firewood, they couldn't even walk a long distance!
After much thought, the two sisters wanted to find an opportunity to go into the main hall and ask Feng Shi to see if Feng Shi could persuade their second uncle to go and discuss with Si Ya and let them borrow some firewood first.

But plans cannot keep up with changes. Clan leader Gu suddenly came home, and Mrs. Feng and Old Man Gu fainted again. Their hopes of going in to ask Mrs. Feng for help were dashed, and the two sisters were completely out of ideas.

Of course, the two sisters hadn't dared to tell their father about this before. After all, the plan hadn't been completed, and according to their father's temperament, failure to complete a plan was considered incompetence! He would definitely be scolded again.

Unable to get a response from the sisters, Gu Liansheng lay back on his bed, furious. "Get out! Get out of here and go chop wood in the mountains! From now on, all the firewood in this house will be yours! If we run out of firewood, you'll be sold off! There's no point in keeping you around anyway. It's better to sell you off for silver!"

The two sisters were so frightened that they could no longer hold back their tears and ran out in a hurry.

Back in the outer room, she wiped her tears, put on thick clothes, and dug out a bundle of hemp ropes. It was clear at a glance that she was really frightened. The two sisters no longer dared to be lazy and decided to go into the mountains to chop firewood.

Gu Tianbao stared blankly at his elder and second sisters, not daring to say a word.

Gu Lian pulled him over and whispered to him worriedly, asking him to stay in the outer room and not go into the inner room, as their father was angry and might scold him too.

Seeing his second sister's red and swollen eyes, Gu Tianbao felt a pang of sadness in his heart and said, "I'll go with you. I'm strong, so I can at least help carry more firewood back..."

Before he could finish his words, Gu Liansheng from the inner room started yelling again: "Tianbao? Tianbao? Let your elder and second sisters go chop wood, and you go make the medicine. Dad hasn't taken his medicine yet..."

Gu Tianbao stopped talking. Now he couldn't go even if he wanted to.

Gu Qing was very jealous and glared at Gu Tianbao hatefully.

Gu Lian breathed a sigh of relief. Going into the mountains was not an easy job, so it was better to stay at home and make medicine.

Grabbing the hemp rope, the two sisters wiped the tears from their faces. Firstly, it was windy outside and they were afraid their faces would crack if they cried any more. Secondly, everyone from the second house was at home and they didn't want to be laughed at by them!
After leaving the east wing, the two sisters saw that there was no one in the yard, so they hurriedly and quietly went to the backyard.

Since you are going to chop wood, you must bring an axe.

When they arrived at the backyard, the two sisters could not find the hatchet anywhere.

In the past, the hatchet had always been used by the people in the second room, and they had no idea where it was put when not in use.

After searching the entire backyard, I finally found the hatchet on the neatly stacked firewood.

The hatchet was very heavy, and the two sisters argued for a while over who would hold it.

In the end, Gu Lian failed to argue with Gu Qing, so she had to pick up the hatchet and walked towards the front yard with heavy steps.

They didn't know that the road outside the back door could also lead into the mountains, and they thought that the only way to enter the mountains was to walk west on the village road outside the courtyard gate.

Coming out of the backyard, the two sisters bumped into Gu Tang who was coming out of the west wing!
Suddenly, a wave of heat came over them, and the sisters' faces turned hot and red.

Gu Tang glanced at the hatchet in Gu Lian's hand with curiosity and sneered in his heart. Is he so hungry that he wants to support himself?
Gu Tang glanced at the sisters' feet calmly, and remembered something. Wei used to say that girls with bound feet could not chop wood, because that was a job for girls with big feet like her.

Now she really hopes that Wei can come back to see how the pair of sisters with bound feet chop wood.

No matter how much he looked down on her, Gu Tang didn't say anything sarcastic on the surface. He just reminded her: "This hatchet is the only one in the family. Don't lose it. It costs hundreds of copper coins."
