Traveling to ancient times with a sign-in system

Chapter 130 Break the lock!

There was no concealment of the malice in Gu Liansheng's words. Gu Mei did not refute or get angry. Instead, she was thinking wildly in her mind, following the meaning of Gu Liansheng's words.

Thinking that if she cried a few times, she would make someone die, and the first one would be that dead girl Gu Tang!

The second one is her father!
Without her father and Gu Tang, and if Sanlang is sent away as well, then all the silver hidden in the hands of her father and daughter will belong to them and her brother!

Gu Mei lowered her head, her eyes were vicious, her face was distorted, and her heart was pounding.

Some things cannot be started. Once you start, you will keep thinking about them.

The more I thought about it, the more I became obsessed with profit and lost my mind.

Gu Mei was lost in thought. No matter how Gu Liansheng scolded her, she kept her head down, stood there in a daze, and listened obediently. She didn't say a word of resistance and didn't dare to show any disrespect.

Her behavior helped Gu Liansheng, who had suffered from the bullying of Gu Lianshan and Gu Tang, father and daughter, regain his face and prestige, and he pointed at people and cursed even more fiercely.

After venting all the anger that had accumulated over the past few days, Gu Liansheng felt refreshed. Even the symptoms in his body seemed to have eased a little. He felt comfortable and everything looked good.

After calming down, Gu Liansheng went to the main hall to talk to his father about dividing the family property.

He has been thinking about this matter for the past two days, thinking that they cannot be separated no matter what!

If the second son insists on dividing the family property, then let his mother come out and make a fuss. Crying and making a fuss is his mother's specialty, so just use it on the second son.

When he arrived at the east room, Gu Liansheng found that his father was still sleeping. He shouted loudly several times but failed to wake him up.

Looking at his unconscious father, he finally realized that something was wrong.

My mother is in a coma, and the second son is taking people to Bei'an City to ask a doctor for treatment. My father is also in a coma, so why not take him with them?
Why leave Dad at home?

Gu Liansheng's brain is different from that of ordinary people. His first reaction is that the second son was reluctant to give up the money and deliberately separated the old couple.

My mother took the second child away, and my father left him to me. If each of us takes care of one, if something happens to one of them, the other one will not be able to explain.

Gu Liansheng was so angry that he stamped his feet and shouted, "Despicable! Filthy! Unfilial thing! You're just trying to throw dirty water on me!"

There are plenty of good doctors and good clinics in Bei'an City. Apart from anything else, it should be no problem for me to stay alive.

But there was no one in the village except Doctor Gu, whose medical skills were mediocre, and he had no idea what his father's condition was.

If I suddenly hand it over to him now, if anything happens to his father, he won’t be able to explain himself even if he jumps into the river!
After Gu Liansheng yelled at him harshly, he came closer and carefully examined the old man's complexion.

He looks fine, and even when he snores, his breathing is steady. So it seems that the old man's illness is not serious?

Gu Liansheng didn’t know whether his guess was correct. What if his eyesight was poor and his prediction was wrong?
Thinking of this, he became nervous again and looked hesitant, not knowing whether he should go and ask Doctor Gu for help right away.

If you ask a doctor for help, you'll have to pay for it. You'll most likely need to take medicine, and this packet of medicine will cost a lot of money.

He can't compare with the second brother. The other brother has a daughter who can earn money, and he probably doesn't care about the money for medical treatment.

The two girls in my house are all freeloaders. Not to mention earning money, they even have half-baked skills in chopping wood.

I am still sick now, and the money I have is not enough. I originally wanted to ask my mother to give me some money secretly, but now my mother has been taken away by the second son. If I want the money, I can only wait for my father to wake up.

But if I want my father to wake up, I have to ask a doctor to come home and take a look, so that I can feel at ease.

At this point, the problem comes back again.

If he wants to hire a doctor, he has to pay for it himself!
Gu Liansheng looked painful, he couldn't bear to do it!

After thinking about it, he walked out of the house with an angry face and asked Gu Meidong about the key to the ear room.

There was food in the east ear room. He could use the food to pay for the medicine, or sell the food to the villagers in exchange for money, and use the money to hire a doctor to prescribe medicine for his father.

Gu Mei had already returned to the house, but was called out by Gu Liansheng again.

Hearing Gu Liansheng asking about the key, Gu Mei raised her head and became excited again: "Uncle, you must have heard everything just now. Everything I said is true! The key to the east wing was really taken away by Si Ya! I saw her enter the east wing with my own eyes!"

Gu Liansheng frowned. If that was the case, he couldn't get the key right now.

Si Ya went to Bei'an City with the second brother. She will definitely not be back today, and it is not certain whether she will come back tomorrow. She needs to ask a doctor to see her mother, which will delay her for at least three to five days.

After taking a look at the east ear room, Gu Liansheng felt ruthless and turned around to call out Gu Laian, asking him to go to the backyard to get an axe and chop the key on the door of the east ear room!

Like Gu Mei, Gu Laian was very afraid of scholars like Gu Liansheng. When he stood in front of Gu Liansheng, his back was bent. To say that he was as timid as a mouse was a compliment to him.

Gu Liansheng looked down on his behavior and waved his hand to tell him to go away.

Gu Laian was so scared that he almost cried. How should he tell this to his uncle?

He had a sad face and secretly asked Gu Mei for help.

Gu Mei pursed her lips and said timidly, "The hatchet at home was taken away by San Ya and the others to chop firewood yesterday. They said they left it on the mountain..."

Gu Liansheng's face instantly turned dark, but he didn't believe it. He turned around and called his son to the east wing.

After calling his son Gu Tianbao to come over, Gu Liansheng asked about the hatchet in front of Gu Mei and her brother.

I thought I would hear my son refute Gu Mei and her brother, but unexpectedly, my son nodded uncomfortably and said, "My eldest sister lost it..."

Upon hearing this, all the words in Gu Liansheng's heart were stuck in his throat, making his chest hurt!

Incompetent bungler!

Taking a deep breath, Gu Liansheng could only accept the reality.

Now that it has been confirmed that it was lost by my daughter, I can no longer dwell on this point.

So he changed the subject and scolded Gu Mei and her brother again.

"If you don't have a hatchet, then get an axe! You're so inflexible with such a small matter? How did your father teach you? You can't even figure out such a small thing!"

Gu Mei and her brother accepted the training obediently and did not dare to refute a word.

After being scolded, Gu Laian ran to the backyard.

The axe is in the backyard, but I dare not delay, otherwise I will be caught and scolded again!

Not long after, Gu Laian came out of the backyard with an axe, and then, according to Gu Liansheng's instructions, he split the key on the door of the east ear room. As the key fell to the ground, Gu Liansheng felt happy and looked behind the door greedily.

Besides food, there are other things in this ear room. In the past, my mother kept it strictly forbidden to enter, but today he wants to take the opportunity to take a good look through it.

Restraining his joy, Gu Liansheng sent Gu Mei and Gu Laian away, and sternly warned them not to peek into the east ear room. If he caught them, they would be punished by his family rules!
Gu Mei and Gu Laian, brother and sister, are both bullies at home. Faced with Gu Liansheng's threats, they can only agree repeatedly.

If Gu Tang or their father Gu Lianshan said this, the brother and sister would definitely feel dissatisfied, cursing in secret, and looking for an opportunity to turn around and peek!
Thinking that his eldest and second daughters would go to invite his younger sister and brother-in-law, Gu Liansheng asked his son to guard the corridor in case they suddenly came back with someone. If he saw anyone coming from outside the yard, he should shout into the east ear room.

When he hears the sound, he will stop and come out quickly.

Gu Tianbao was unhappy about having to wait outside in such a cold weather, but he didn't dare to say it out loud. He could only wait in the corridor with anger.

After making arrangements for his son, Gu Liansheng, full of anticipation, pushed open the door of the east ear room and walked in eagerly.

……

Since it was not an urgent matter, Gu Lianshan did not rush on his way. He just let the old ox walk leisurely and slowly head towards Bei'an City.

By the time we reached the city gate, it was already dark.

When entering the city, you will pass by the clepsydra placed at the city gate. Gu Tang glanced at it twice. In another quarter of an hour, it would be the hour of Xu. The gate of Bei'an City is closed at the beginning of the hour of Xu every day.

It was a close call, they just managed to get in from the edge.

If it had been a moment later, I would have been locked out of the city.

After entering the city, Gu Tang asked her father to walk along the main street and find an inn near the clinic.

Anyway, they weren't staying there, and as for Feng, she wasn't qualified to stay in a good inn, so she could just find one at random.

Gu Lianshan followed Gu Tang's instructions and found a slightly shabby inn near the nearest clinic to the city gate and asked for a B-class room.

Room B is the second-class room in the inn, which is a narrow little room.

Gu Lianshan went in to take a look and thought it was quite nice, much better than the house at home, so he moved Feng in.

After settling the people, Gu Tang urged her father to ask the shopkeeper if there were any maids nearby who were willing to work on the house.

Innkeepers have some maids and boys who can work at the inn. As long as the guests need them, they can call them over to serve at any time.

This was when Gu Lianshan came back to ask for a maid, and he really didn't know what kind to look for.

Seeing that her father was in trouble, Gu Tang simply bypassed him and went to talk to the shopkeeper herself.

The shopkeeper was already accustomed to customers asking maids to do work for him. He smiled and nodded, then asked Gu Tang what kind of maid he wanted, and whether there was any age requirement.

Gu Tang pointed to the room where Feng lived and said bluntly, "The one in the room is my grandmother. She had a stroke and has lost sensation on the left side of her body. Her left hand and left foot are also out of control. She can only lie in bed all day. I came here today to ask a doctor to treat her illness.

My family runs a small business and all the family members have to work. We really can't spare anyone to look after the old lady now. I'm thinking of finding two younger maids, preferably with some strength, who can help the old lady get up at night and go to the toilet.

"I have to help boil medicine, feed her medicine, and serve her. I have to be by her side day and night. I have to be good-tempered and quiet. Ever since she got this disease, she has become crazy and stupid, has a bad temper, and keeps saying nonsense all day long. My family doesn't want outsiders to spread such nonsense!"

The shopkeeper still smiled and kept agreeing that these were basic requirements, not unusual or difficult.

"I've taken note of what you've said. I'll have my servant bring the person over so you can personally review and select him."

Gu Tang paused and said, "Can you bring them here right now? We'll have to go back home to unload the goods soon, so we'll have to let the maids come in to take care of them tonight. Of course, we'll also pay them a day's wages today."

The shopkeeper was a little hesitant at first, but when he heard that today's wages would also be calculated on a daily basis, he felt relieved. This was the only thing that made the matter easy.

He waved to the waiter and carefully explained to him what Gu Tang had just said, asking him to bring the people over according to these requirements.

The waiter was very quick. Not long after he went out, he brought in six old women.

Gu Tang took a casual look and picked out two women who were about thirty years old, tall and strong, with honest and simple faces.

The two old women, one surnamed Sun and the other surnamed Song, spoke slowly and calmly, which was very pleasant to listen to.

The remaining women who were not chosen were taken out by the servants.

After the waiter led the maids out of the house, the two women who stayed behind, Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Song, came forward to greet Gu Tang and bowed to him. Gu Lianshan and Gu Ping'an also greeted and bowed to him one by one.

The two old women called Gu Tang "Miss", Gu Lianshan "Master", and Gu Ping'an "Young Master". After a round of calls, except for Gu Tang who looked normal, Gu Lianshan and his son Gu Ping'an all blushed and felt very uncomfortable.

Gu Tang called the two maids to the bedside and asked them to take a good look at the person they were going to serve.

The two maids followed the instructions and took a closer look. At first glance, they could tell that the old lady was difficult to get along with and had a harsh temper that was probably difficult to please.

At second glance, I felt that this old lady was really a good sleeper. There were people talking in the room all the time, and despite all the noise and commotion, the old lady was still not woken up, and her snoring was like thunder. You could tell at a glance that she was sleeping soundly.

Gu Tang told them that Feng had drunk a tranquilizing soup when she came, and he gave them a suggestion: "My grandma is a little crazy because she is paralyzed and can't move. What she says is all nonsense. If she makes a fuss too much, you can make a bowl of tranquilizing soup and trick her into drinking it."

Gu Tang took out three packets of tranquilizing soup from the bag he brought with him and handed the medicine over.

The two old women quickly caught it with both hands and felt relieved.

The boss was a reasonable man. Knowing that the old lady was difficult to take care of, he allowed them to feed her some calming soup, which was really the best thing that could happen.

Gu Tang continued, "We'll come during the day when we're free. If we're not, I'm afraid we won't be able to come. Regardless of whether we come or not, you just need to serve the old lady as I said before. The inn will provide all your daily food and drink, including yours."

"Yes." The two old women lowered their heads and responded.

Gu Tang stretched and felt relaxed all over. Now that she had found an inn and hired a maid, her father could rest assured.

Leave Feng here temporarily and come back to pick her up after the division is completed.

She tugged at her father's clothes, signaling him that he could leave.

Can we go now?

Oh yeah! It’s time to go!
Gu Lianshan came to his senses, pulled up his still blushing son, and followed Gu Tang out of the inn.

The ox cart was parked outside, and the shop assistants fed it water and fodder, so it was now full and satisfied.

Sitting on the ox cart, the father and his two sons changed their route and headed to the small courtyard that Gu Tang bought.
It was already dark at this time. Gu Lianshan lit a torch and held it up. He did not take a car, but instead held the rope and walked in front of the ox, using the torch to lead the way.

The temperature at night was much lower than during the day. Gu Tang was wearing a fur coat and a rabbit fur blanket, but he was still so cold that his upper and lower teeth were chattering.
