Traveling to ancient times with a sign-in system

Chapter 129: Smashing the Bowl After Eating
Gu Ping'an was sitting in the corridor of the west wing, with a burning stove in front of him. He raised his hands to keep warm by the flames, and at the same time, he was doing two things at once, glancing towards the east wing from time to time.

He kept calculating in his mind that if he searched the entire east ear room, it would probably take about half an hour.

Thinking that he would have to stay in the corridor for half an hour, Gu Ping'an got up and went back to the house to get a blanket to cover himself in order to keep warm.

But when he came out of the house wrapped in a blanket, he saw his second sister coming out of the east room with a gloomy face.

Gu Ping'an was stunned for a moment. How long had it taken? Only about two quarters of an hour, and her second sister had already searched the entire east side room?

Seeing Gu Tang empty-handed, Gu Ping'an felt a pang of regret. The east ear room was guarded so closely by his grandmother, yet there was nothing in it.

When Gu Tang came over, he asked curiously, "Second sister, you're so quick. Did you look through everything?"

Gu Tang shook his head: "I only flipped through a little bit, I don't have the heart to flip through the rest, I'll wait until Dad comes back."

Gu Ping'an's eyes lit up. Did he find something?
Then I felt something was wrong.

Since she found something, why does my second sister look so unhappy?

"Don't ask about this for now. Let's talk about it when Dad comes back." Seeing the confusion in Gu Ping'an's eyes, Gu Tang didn't know how to explain. He just left these words and turned back to the house.

It would have been fine if Gu Tang hadn't said that. But when he heard her say that, Gu Ping'an became as curious as a cat's paw.

As soon as Gu Tang entered the house, he ran towards the gate of the yard.

His father had gone to his sixth uncle's house to borrow an ox cart, so he quickly called him back. From his second sister's expression, he knew something was wrong, and it was probably not a good thing.

Before Gu Ping'an could reach his sixth uncle's house, he bumped into Gu Lianshan who was pulling an ox cart back home.

Gu Lianshan was humming a little tune at the moment, feeling very happy, but when he suddenly saw his son appear in front of him, his good mood disappeared immediately.

Gu Ping'an didn't care about his father's changed face, and hurriedly told him what had just happened, asking him to go back quickly and not stroll around.

Upon learning that his daughter had found something in the east wing, Gu Lianshan handed the ox cart to his son and ran home.

Gu Ping'an also wanted to run, but the old ox was unwilling to do so.

He pulled the cow to make it walk faster, but the old ox ignored him and walked at its own pace, neither fast nor slow.

Gu Ping'an was helpless. This cow was not raised by him, so it would not listen to him. He was small and did not dare to whip it, so he could only lead the old ox slowly back home.

Gu Lianshan ran home in one breath, panting. When he reached the yard, he saw his eldest daughter, Gu Mei, lying stealthily in front of the second daughter's door, peeking into the second daughter's room through the crack in the door.

Gu Lianshan was so angry that he was about to open his mouth to scold her when he saw Gu Mei suddenly screaming in pain, covering her face with her hands and backing away repeatedly.

Then the door opened and Gu Tang came out carrying a wooden basin with a cold face, with hot steam still rising from the bottom.

After seeing this scene, there was nothing that Gu Lianshan didn't understand.

The eldest daughter was peeping at the second daughter, so the second daughter poured a basin of hot water on the door. The scalding hot water splashed onto the eldest daughter's face through the crack in the door, and she screamed in pain from the burn.

Gu Tang glanced at her father out of the corner of her eye, but she was in a bad mood at the moment and didn't call anyone. She just scolded Gu Mei, "I thought only big brother was dishonest, but I didn't expect you to follow suit! You actually ran to my door and started peeping! What's going on? Are you trying to find out what's in my room so you can break in and steal when I'm not home?"

"Who wants to steal your things!" Gu Mei's face was burning with pain. Hot water splashed all over her face. She was in so much pain that she lost her mind and shouted about what happened in the east ear room.

"If we talk about dirty hands, you're worse than me! Grandma has always been in charge of our east wing. She said that we young people are not allowed to go in! But you took advantage of Grandma's serious illness and secretly took the key to the east wing for yourself!
It would be fine if you just took the rice and meat, but you actually dared to go in and rummage through the things inside! In my opinion, you are the thief! Who knows what good things you took from the east wing!"

Gu Tang stared at Gu Mei intently for a moment, his eyes darkening. Suddenly, he laughed, "You said I went into the east wing to look for things? Words alone are not enough. Do you have any witnesses? Besides you, who else saw it? If no one testifies, you're just trying to use me as a pretext to stir up trouble!"

"You!" Gu Mei was furious. When Gu Tang entered the east ear room just now, the only ones who saw this was her and Gu Ping'an.

But Gu Ping'an and Gu Tang are in the same group, so it's impossible for them to come out and testify against her!

Gu Mei could only bite the bullet and argue: "Just now in this courtyard, besides you and me, Sanlang was the only one sitting in the corridor. It was you who asked him to help you watch over others..."

Gu Tang interrupted her and asked again, "Is there anyone to testify for you? If not, then you're going to cause trouble!"

Gu Mei was so angry that she was shaking all over. "Sanlang is as obedient as a dog in front of you! He even moved several earthenware jars out of the east wing yesterday. He must have been ordered by you! He won't testify to me now! No matter how you argue, the key to the east wing is in your hands. You can't deny it!"

"Are there any witnesses? You keep on talking nonsense. You say I have the key, so the key is in my hand? And I said you have the key."

Gu Tang continued to anger her with a smile, refusing to admit it.

Gu Mei was so angry that she lost her composure.

She called Gu Laian out and asked him to testify, asking him if he had seen Gu Ping'an moving things from the east ear room, and the key to the east ear room, and if he had seen their father give it to Gu Tang with his own eyes.

Gu Laian wanted to nod and say yes, but when he turned around, he saw Gu Tang "smiling" at him.

I don’t know what happened. Although Gu Tang’s smile was normal, Gu Laian felt that there was a strong malice hidden in that smile, and it was surging, as if it could swallow him alive in the next moment!
Gu Laian swallowed and shrank his neck like a quail in fear.

"Why don't you say something!" Gu Mei scolded impatiently when she didn't hear Gu Laian's response for a long time.

Gu Tang continued to smile at Gu Laian: "Brother, I asked you a question, did you really see it?"

Gu Laian shuddered immediately: "That's not true! I don't know anything! I didn't see anything!"

After saying this, Gu Laian shook off Gu Mei's hand no matter how she pulled him, and hid back in the house like a chased dog.

Gu Mei's eyes went dark and she cursed, "You cowardly bastard..." Suddenly her scalp felt tight as Gu Tang grabbed her hair and pulled it back with all his might.

"what!!!"

The shrill screams echoed throughout the Gu family's home. Gu Mei protected her hair while trying to reach out and scratch Gu Tang.

Gu Tang took advantage of her unpreparedness and kicked her hard in the knee, knocking her to the ground.

"Ah!!! You dirty little whore! Let go!" Gu Mei's face was twisted in pain. She lay on the ground scratching and kicking, trying to get rid of Gu Tang's hand.

If you keep pulling, your scalp will be pulled off!

Gu Tang directly rode on her, pinned her down, and slapped her in the face with his hand.

"Snapped!"

"Throw the bowl after eating!" "Bang!"

"Eat it inside and out!"

"Snapped!"

"ungrateful!"

……

Every time he slapped someone, Gu Tang would curse. His expression was calm and he didn't look angry at all, but his attacks were extremely ruthless.

Gu Mei, who was pressed under her, dared to yell and curse at first, but as the slaps got more and more frequent, her cheeks became red and swollen and then numb, blood oozed from the corners of her mouth, her eyes changed from horror to collapse, and she soon started to cry loudly and dared not curse anymore.

The commotion in the yard severely frightened the father and son in the east wing, who were ready to move after hearing the key to the east ear room.

The father and son, who had been hiding in the east wing, suddenly heard Gu Mei talking about breaking the key to the east ear room, and both of them became excited.

Especially Gu Liansheng, he considered himself the eldest son in the family, and when his parents were unable to take charge, he should be the one to take charge.

As the head of the family, the first thing to take care of is food.

All the food rations for the Gu family were stored in the east ear room. If they were eaten sparingly, the food inside would be enough for the whole family to eat for one or two years.

Such an important matter should be handled by him. The second daughter is shameless and has no manners. It is predictable that she would snatch the key.

But the second brother was so shameless that he stole the key!

If you have any respect for him as the big brother, the first thing you should do when you get the key is to hand it over to him!

How can a younger brother manage the household without the permission of his older brother?! This is outrageous!
The growing greed gave Gu Liansheng courage. He even asked his son to bring the fur coat over to him. He planned to put on the clothes and then go out to ask the second son's family for the key.

But at this critical moment, the father and son saw through the window that Gu Tang was pulling Gu Mei's hair, kicking her down, and riding on Gu Mei, slapping her in the face continuously.

The impact of this scene was so strong that the father and son were stunned for a moment.

The sound of slaps was like a basin of ice water pouring down on the father and son in the middle of winter, making them shiver and stop talking about going out to get the key.

Not only were the eldest son and his wife terrified, but even Gu Ping'an, who was pulling the ox cart into the yard, was stunned in fear.

Everything was fine when he left just now, why are they fighting now?

Seeing that Gu Tang was beating Gu Mei one-sidedly and had no power to fight back, Gu Ping'an kept silent and hid beside the old ox to watch the fun.

Gu Lianshan just watched his eldest daughter being beaten coldly without trying to stop it. This time he was really angry.

After Gu Tang had almost vented his anger, he stepped forward and advised: "Why bother with a beast? It's not worth it. Dad has borrowed the ox cart back. We still have things to do. It's not too late to teach her a lesson later..."

Hearing her father say this, Gu Tang felt relieved, but Gu Mei cried even more sadly.

When Gu Mei's hair was released, several strands of hair were pulled down and fell to the ground, which was very conspicuous.

Gu Tang was very satisfied looking at the hair on the ground. She put in a lot of effort and wanted to pull out all of Gu Mei's hair!

She stood up and stood aside, calmly patting her clothes to shake off the dirt on the hem, as if nothing had happened.

"Pack your things, I'll go carry your grandma onto the ox cart." Gu Lianshan ignored Gu Mei who was still lying on the ground crying, without even looking at her, and turned to go to the main room.

Gu Tang returned to the house and put everything he could take away into the system backpack. He then packed another bag to carry with him. Finally, he locked the door and was ready to leave at any time.

Gu Ping'an was called by Gu Lianshan to the main hall to help. After a while, he came out of the main hall with bedding in his arms and spread it on the ox cart.

After laying the floor, he shouted towards the main room.

Soon, Gu Lianshan came out carrying Feng, casually put her on the ox cart, covered her with a quilt, and then asked his son and daughter to get on the cart and set off.

In the east wing, Gu Liansheng, who saw this scene, no longer cared about being afraid of Gu Lianshan, and hurriedly opened the door and chased out.

He grabbed the ox cart and asked Gu Lianshan in a panic, "Second brother! Where are you taking mother?"

Gu Lianshan got angry the moment he saw him: "Where do you think I should take Mom? Doctor Gu said that if Mom continues to be unconscious like this, she must be sent to Bei'an City!"

Gu Liansheng looked hesitant: "Didn't he wake up early this morning? If so, why did he send it to Bei'an City?"

"She's awake this morning. Now try shouting a few times. If you can wake her up, you don't have to go, and I can save some money!"

Gu Liansheng still didn't believe it and shouted several times at Feng who was lying unconscious in the car, but there was no response at all.

"Don't waste time! Get in the car too! Since you are so worried, don't say that I don't give you the opportunity to be filial. Come with us to Bei'an City! I don't know where the silver in my mother's hand is hidden, but I know that she has given you a lot of money on weekdays.

Bring the money with you, and let's go to Bei'an City to treat mother's illness! We are all sons, and you are the eldest son. It doesn't make sense for you to hide in the house and not care about anything, and put all the blame on me for your parents' mistakes! "

As soon as these words came out, Gu Liansheng immediately let go of her hand and took two steps back, his eyes dodging: "All the money in the family is in my mother's hands, but she didn't give me any money! Anyway, your second room has money, so you can make up for it first. When I wake up later, I will bring this up to her and ask her to return the money to you.

As for me? I won't go with you. I'm still sick now. If I continue to be bumped around and frozen, I'm afraid I'll be half dead like my mother! You bear the burden this time. When I recover, I'll take the blame next time."

This is just a lie!

Gu Lianshan sneered rudely, spat at him, and drove away without saying another word to him.

This action is not very lethal, but it is extremely insulting!
Gu Liansheng was embarrassed and annoyed, and was so angry that he saw stars.

After the oxcart disappeared into the distance, he could no longer hold back his curses: "You are unfilial to your parents! You are disrespectful to your brother! This whole house is full of people who hate you. I want to see what kind of ending you will have!"

After cursing, he still felt unsatisfied.

Seeing Gu Mei still lying on the ground crying, Gu Liansheng found an outlet for his anger: "Your mother has been dead for more than ten years. Who are you crying for? Are you crying for your father? It's a pity that your father has a strong life. If you can cry him to death, you will be the most meritorious person in our Gu family!"

Gu Liansheng was a scholar, and Gu Mei was very afraid of him. When she heard Gu Liansheng say this about her, she stopped crying.

Gu Mei climbed up with her body stiff and sobbing, not even daring to raise her head.

Gu Liansheng didn't let her go: "Why don't you cry anymore? Keep crying! Your father and your sister have done all sorts of evil things. Cry them away, or your uncle will beat you and put you on display!"
