Chapter 138 Chapter 137 Spendthrift? Then don’t eat!

Chapter 138 Chapter 137: Spendthrift? Then don’t eat!
But when he saw the rice porridge, meat slices, and an egg in the bowl, Mr. Gu's face turned cold again.

"Didn't you say you can't afford to support this whole family? If so, what's in this bowl? Rice, meat, and eggs. How much wealth could you squander like this? The way you eat, you really can't afford to support this whole family!"

This is really unreasonable.

Gu Lianshan didn't want to be acquiesced and snatched the bowl away. "Originally, because you were sick, the whole family tightened their belts to save money for this dinner for you. Our original intention was to take good care of you. Who would have thought that saving money for you would turn out to be my downfall!"

Old Master Gu didn't expect his son to react so strongly. He was just angry and gave him a lecture in a sarcastic tone.

As a father, couldn't he possibly give his son a lecture? He had done nothing wrong, both morally and logically!
Old Master Gu had a gloomy face and refused to give in.

Gu Lianshan refused to back down. "Since you're calling me a spendthrift, then forget about eating this meal! From now on, my family won't skimp on food for you anymore. We'll just cook you porridge and pickles every day!"

After saying this, Gu Lianshan turned around and left with the bowl in his hand.

Old Master Gu was stunned as he watched his son lift the door curtain and leave. His stomach rumbled again. He smelled the lingering aroma of rice and meat in the air. His stomach, which had been hungry for a day, began to twitch and cramp, and he kept regurgitating sour water.

Finally, unable to bear the hunger anymore, Old Man Gu anxiously shouted outside, "Where are you going to take the food? You unfilial son! Are you trying to starve your own father to death?!"

"My son cannot bear the title of 'spendthrift', so I will cook porridge for you! From now on, I will give you porridge every day!" Gu Lianshan outside shouted loudly into the house.

Old Master Gu was so angry that he no longer cared about his dignity and started yelling, "I don't want to eat porridge! Bring the rice over here!"

There was no movement from Gu Lianshan outside.

After waiting patiently for a while, I vaguely heard Gu Lianshan's voice coming from the west wing, saying that Mr. Gu didn't like rice porridge, meat slices and eggs, so from now on I only need to serve him porridge.

Hearing this, Mr. Gu almost fainted from anger. He kept slapping the bed and cursing viciously: "Rebellious son! Rebellious son! Rebellious son..."

Unfortunately, no matter how he cursed, it was useless. Gu Lianshan was a bad guy, and his temper was impulsive. If you insisted on going against him, he would really not recognize anyone!
Not long after, Gu Lianshan came in again with a bowl.

This time the bowl no longer contained rice porridge, but a bowl of dark brown millet paste with a few chopsticks of pickles on top. It was steaming hot and you could tell at a glance that it was about to be served.

Before Mr. Gu could react, Gu Lianshan had already placed the bowl on the table beside his bed.

"Here! This is the pickled vegetable paste you've been dreaming about. If you're hungry, eat it. If not, it's up to you."

After saying that, he ran away without waiting for Mr. Gu to speak, for fear that Mr. Gu would throw the bowl on him.

In the past, Mr. Gu would have picked up the bowl and smashed it at his son without saying a word.

But today he was so hungry that he couldn't stand it anymore. Even though the rice porridge turned into a paste, he was reluctant to smash it.

With his big hands as dry as tree bark, he picked up the bowl with trembling hands. Looking at the porridge in the bowl, Mr. Gu's eyes turned red.

"What misfortune for our family! What misfortune for our family! To have given birth to such a beast..."

Gu Lianshan did not hear his father's curse. He had returned to the west wing and was sitting at the table eating.

Sitting on his left were Gu Tang and Gu Ping'an, and on his right were Gu Mei and Gu Laian.

When the two siblings smelled the fragrance, they shamelessly kept rubbing against it.

Gu Lianshan still remembered what Gu Mei had done before, so without Gu Tang asking, he directly served her a bowl of porridge and did not allow her to eat rice porridge and meat, and she was not even given any eggs!

Gu Laian got a bowl of rice porridge and meat, and an egg. He was so happy that his eyes, which were already small to begin with, instantly narrowed into slits.

Gu Mei was so angry that tears kept falling. With her red, swollen and broken face, she glared at Gu Tang fiercely, and was convinced that it was Gu Tang who instigated her behind the scenes.

Gu Tang couldn't bear her and threw down his chopsticks: "Who are you staring at with those two holes! Aren't you tired of being beaten?"

Hearing this, Gu Mei's cheek twitched for a moment, and she felt her face start to hurt again!
As a girl, she cares most about her reputation and face. Now that she has been beaten like this by Si Ya, she doesn't know if it will leave scars.

I had hoped that her father would come back and give Si Ya a lecture after seeing her miserable state, but I didn't expect her father to turn a blind eye!
He clearly saw the injuries on her face, but he didn't even say a word of comfort to her, let alone lecture her.

The more Gu Mei thought about it, the angrier she became. She covered her face with her hands, stood up, and went back to her room to cry.

No one sitting at the table paid any attention to her.

Even Gu Laian beside her didn't speak to her, and was concentrating on eating the fried meat with pickles in his bowl.

Seeing that his son was obedient and did not foolishly stand on the side of the eldest daughter, Gu Lianshan rarely looked at him with favor and asked him to do something.

"Tomorrow morning, just before dawn, Dad will wake you up. Go to Fengjiazhuang and invite your uncle over. Tell him that our family is splitting up, and ask him to come home as a witness."

Fengjiazhuang is the village where Feng's mother's family lives. It is about fifteen miles away from Shanghe Village, which is not a close distance.

Gu Laian was a little reluctant: "Dad, it's more than ten miles. If I walk there and back, how long will it take?"

"Who told you to walk?" Gu Lianshan glared at him. "Tomorrow, Dad will find your Uncle Shunzi and ask him to drive the ox cart with you."

Gu Laian breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that he could go by ox cart, but he was still reluctant.

He glanced stealthily at Gu Tang and Gu Ping'an opposite him, feeling deeply unfair!
It's winter, why do I have to order myself around? Why don't the other two do the same?!
Gu Laian was furious, but he continued eating without saying a word.

Gu Lianshan felt impatient when his son didn't reply. "Have you got hair growing in your ears? Daddy's talking to you, and you can't even reply?"

Sensing the anger in his father's words, Gu Laian immediately tightened his skin, and the reluctance in his heart immediately dissipated: "Go, go, I will get up early tomorrow morning and go with Uncle Shunzi..."

Hearing this, Gu Lianshan's anger subsided a little. He glanced at his son and wanted to discipline him again.

It doesn't matter if this guy is not smart, as long as he is obedient and slowly changes his temper, and follows the second daughter well in the future, any leak will be enough for him to use.

But if he continues to be unruly, then don't blame him as a father for being cruel. In two years, when he is older, he will be separated from his parents to live on his own, so as not to bring trouble to the family.

Gu Laian didn’t know what his father was thinking. If he knew what his father was thinking, he would have knelt down and hugged his father’s thighs and cried!
He has no skills, no way to make a living, and even no land. If he is really separated and sent to live separately, Qing will starve to death!

Gu Laian, who was completely clueless at the moment, had a lot of thoughts in his mind. Thinking that he would have to suffer a lot and go out for a while tomorrow, he bravely stretched out his chopsticks to the plate in front of his father, picked up a chopstick full of meat slices and put them into his own bowl.

Gu Tang glanced at him and said nothing, as long as he didn't put his chopsticks into her plate.

After dinner, Gu Lianshan immediately sent Gu Laian back to his room to sleep: "I know you're a sleepyhead, go to bed early tonight. Tomorrow morning when I knock on the door and call you, if you dare to linger, watch out for your legs!"

Gu Laian shuddered, nodded nervously, and ran out like a rabbit.

Speaking of getting up early, Gu Lai'an wasn't the only one who had to get up early tomorrow. Gu Ping'an couldn't sleep in either; she had to get up early to make tea. The clan leader and the elders would come over, and they'd have to warm up with a cup of tea. As for Gu Tang, Gu Lianshan didn't require her to get up too early, but she had to get up before the clan leader came. If the clan leader knew about this, he'd probably scold a girl who stayed in bed until noon.

In fact, Gu Tang has developed the habit of going to bed early and getting up early, but the weather is too cold, especially in the morning, it is so cold that even his bones ache!
Gu Tang usually lies in the warm bed and stays in bed until the beginning of the morning before reluctantly getting up.

After returning to his room, Gu Tang added some charcoal to the stove, washed up with the hot water in the room, and then lay down in bed shivering.

The quilt was freezing cold. Every time at this time, Gu Tang would think of the cat she had in her previous life. In winter, she would put the cat at her feet to help warm her feet.

There are people in Shanghe Village who keep dogs, but I have never seen anyone who keeps cats. When I have time, I will ask her father if there is anyone who keeps a cat. If anyone is willing to sell one, I can sell one to him and keep it for him.

After lying in the quilt for a long time, the bed gradually became warm. Gu Tang sighed and called out the system panel.

She hasn't signed in today, not because she forgot, but because she hasn't figured out what to sign in for.

After counting, she found that she was missing a lot of things now, but she could only pick up the important things.

Lying on the bed and looking around the room, Gu Tang pondered for a long time, then took out the incense machine and placed it on the bed, holding it in his hands and began to sign in.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing today's sign-in! Obtained the Incense Machine skill (permanent version)!]

Ok? ? ?
Um! ! !
Incense Maker Skills (Permanent Version)!!!

Wait a minute! Is this what she thought?!

Gu Tang stood up suddenly, not caring about the cold outside the quilt. He put on his fur coat and sat up straight, clicking on the system panel with trembling hands.

I clicked on "Incense Machine Skills (Permanent Version)", and soon, a row of tiny words appeared on it.

After reading it carefully, I understood it clearly.

As she had guessed, this was something similar to a superpower. After it was transmitted into her body, she would have all the skills of an incense-making machine.

After reading the skill introduction, Gu Tang realized that the incense made by the incense machine has a buff-like effect.

The same incense, when made through an incense making machine, is in the most perfect state in terms of both appearance and effect.

The Incense Maker Skills (Permanent Version) replicates all the skills of the Incense Maker on a one-to-one basis. In other words, in the future, the incense she makes will have a baff effect, just like the Incense Maker.

The most important thing is that it can ignore the principles!

For example, backflow incense. In principle, backflow incense can only be cone-shaped. If it is made into the shape of a flower, the smoke will not flow downwards.

However, the incense making machine can ignore this principle and the smoke from the flower-shaped backflow incense it produces can still flow downwards.

The incense making skill also has this feature. People who possess this skill can make backflow incense, and no matter what shape it is, the smoke will go downwards.

Gu Tang hugged the incense maker in his arms and kissed it more than a dozen times, then lay on the quilt and laughed silently!

This is really a big baby!

Gu. The unlucky guy. Tang finally had a turn of events!!!
In order to vent his excitement, Gu Tang took back the incense machine, then grinned and clicked [Skill Transfer]!
A faint blue light flickered around the system panel, and then the system panel automatically disappeared, turning into a blue light that merged into Gu Tang's chest.

Gu Tang was startled for a moment, and touched his chest a few times with his hands, but found nothing unusual.

Soon, an inexplicable warm current began to spread from the chest to the surrounding area, gradually spreading to the whole body. The whole body felt warm, as if soaking in a hot spring.

Along with this warm current, sleepiness instantly came over me.

Gu Tang yawned, feeling something was wrong. After a few breaths, she was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes!

Resisting the urge to stay awake for the last time, she struggled to take off her fur coat, then lay down in the quilt, and fell asleep in the blink of an eye.

……

Gu Tang dreams almost every night, especially when his sleep time is extended, he basically has a dream every night.

After waking up, most people can’t remember what happened in their dreams. They just feel that the dreams are a mess with everything.

But this time I had no dreams all night long.

When her father called Gu Laian outside to get up, Gu Tang opened her eyes immediately.

There was no sleepiness, no blank mind, and no limp feeling as if one were about to wake up.

At this moment, she felt refreshed and energetic!
This is obviously not normal.

Gu Tang got up, dressed, and jumped a few times on the ground. The chest tightness and shortness of breath left by the original owner were gone, and he felt as light as a swallow.

Can this skill also cure diseases and strengthen the body?
Gu Tang scratched his head, he really couldn't figure it out.

Fortunately, everything seems to be moving in a good direction at the moment. Since it is good, there is no need to dwell on it and insist on figuring it out.

Right now, the most important thing is to check whether the skills have been successfully transmitted.

She randomly took out two spices from the system backpack, added water and mixed everything together. Then, Gu Tang silently chanted: Backflow incense, while she held the incense in her hands and kneaded it into a ball. She wanted to make a "four-leaf clover".

Halfway through pinching the four-leaf clover, Gu Tang felt his hands getting slightly warm, not sure if it was an illusion.

She stopped pinching the incense, raised her hands and observed carefully, and finally confirmed that it was not an illusion. Her hands did feel slightly warm when they touched the incense.

Is this a skill being released?

Gu Tang shook his head, still confused.

She picked up the half-squeezed incense stick and continued to squeeze it.

I thought the fragrance would become loose and fall apart, but in her hands it was as obedient as plasticine.

And her clumsy hands suddenly seemed to have gained intelligence, and she could perform all kinds of delicate and flexible movements effortlessly, as if she had done them thousands of times.

Not long after, a lifelike "four-leaf clover" appeared in her hand.

Except for the color, everything else is alike.
