Traveling to ancient times with a sign-in system

Chapter 154: After the beating, he continued to work

At this point, Gu Tang's eyes turned cold and he squinted at him: "So whether I use the silver to buy Sanlang a place to audit the class or throw it into the water to listen to the noise, it's all my business! Dad didn't even say anything about it, so who do you think you are? You actually come to ask me!"

The fierce look frightened Gu Laian and made his drowsy mind clearer.

But when he thought about Gu Ping'an going to Changshan Academy as an auditor, his eyes flushed with jealousy, and he shouted out: "My master said! Girls without a family background, no matter how much they earn, it will all be public! You have to give me half of the money from selling the deer!"

Gu Tang paused, finally looking him in the eye. "You fool, you're being used as a pawn! Do you think that since we're moving, I'll be hesitant to hit you?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Laian subconsciously took two steps back and felt timid.

Just at this moment, Gu Mei behind him actually started to instigate him with a vicious voice: "Why are you afraid of her?! You are just a kid, if you are willing to kill her, are you afraid that you can't beat a girl like her?!"

It is said that alcohol makes cowards brave. After being instigated by Gu Mei, Gu Lai'an was really confused and believed what Gu Mei said.

He glared at Gu Tang viciously, and his words became more and more asshole-like: "I am the eldest son of the family, and all the money in this family will be mine in the future! No matter how much you earn, you have to hand it over to me, it's all mine!
Now that you've spent money to buy a spot in the classroom from Sanlang, we can't just let it go! Either let me take Sanlang's place as an auditor, or you give me another 100 taels of silver to compensate me! Otherwise, I'll beat you to death today!"

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the cart, pulled out a piece of firewood from the cart, and held it in his hand, threatening Gu Tang openly.

Gu Tang didn't give him any face at all and spat at him with disdain: "You are worse than pigs and dogs! I'm telling you straight now, wait another two years and I'll let you divide it all! Don't even think about getting a single penny of the money I earned, let alone the money my father earned!"

These words touched Gu Laian's bottom line. Although he was not favored, it did not prevent him from looking at everything in the family from the perspective of the eldest son.

In his opinion, he was the eldest son, and everything in the family should belong to him, just like his grandfather, who gave all the Gu family's belongings to his uncle. Their second branch got nothing, and finally had no choice but to choose to be adopted out.

Since his grandfather did this, his father should do the same. Give him all the things in the house and drive out Sanlang and the others. It would be best if they were all adopted out like his father did!

But now Gu Tang actually told him that he would be separated from her in the future.

Gu Laian believed this.

His father is blind and only favors Si Ya. Si Ya must know something, so she dares to say this!

In other words, in two years, his father will really separate him!

The more Gu Laian thought about it, the more irrational he became. His eyes turned red and he gripped the firewood in his hand tighter and tighter. Finally, he raised it high and hit Gu Tang.

Gu Tang didn't hide. He put his hands behind his back and secretly took out a handful of sandalwood powder from the system backpack and held it in his hand.

When Gu Laian approached, he threw the sandalwood powder in his hand directly at his face, instantly "blinding" his eyes.

As soon as the sandalwood powder entered his eyes, Gu Laian screamed and cursed: "Ah!!! My eyes! My eyes! Damn girl! What did you sprinkle on my face?!"

Gu Laian hurriedly threw away the firewood and stopped, rubbing and wiping his eyes with both hands, trying to get the foreign object out of his eyes.

But he couldn't see anything, so he instinctively scratched his eyes. Instead of getting the foreign object out, his eyes became more painful and his tears flowed more.

Gu Tang ignored him, quickly picked up the firewood that had fallen on the ground, and beat Gu Laian, who screamed in pain.

"what--"

The shrill screams echoed throughout the yard, startling the third uncle, Gu Ping'an, and the four aunts in the kitchen.

Gu Tang didn't care at all that there were outsiders present. He beat Gu Laian and started cursing.

"Shameless idiot! Someone's malicious words instigated you, and you've already lost your mind and started messing with me! I think there's no need to wait another two years. When Dad comes back, I'll have him kick you out of the house and leave you to fend for yourself!"

"This, this is..." Third Uncle stared at the scene in amazement, too shocked to speak.

Gu Pingan was very calm: "It's okay, sir, it must be my eldest brother who made a mistake again."

Third Uncle's heart choked. In which family, when the eldest brother made a mistake, his younger sister would beat and scold him?
Gu Laian was a coward. After being hit two or three times, he began to admit defeat and beg for mercy, crying and saying that he was wrong and asked Gu Tang not to bother with him and let him go.

Gu Tang remained unmoved and slapped him more than ten times before he finally vented his anger.

But it's not over yet.

She looked towards the yard and saw Gu Mei quietly heading towards the east wing. Her face turned pale and she looked scared now. She no longer had the vicious look she had when she instigated Gu Laian.

Gu Tang looked at her actions coldly, sneered, and chased after her at a very fast speed with the firewood in his hand.

Because she felt guilty, Gu Mei didn't dare to look back, but she still heard the footsteps getting closer and closer. She suddenly panicked and ran subconsciously.

Unfortunately, it's too late to run now.

She had only taken a few steps when Gu Tang grabbed her hair and pulled it back hard, knocking her to the ground.

Gu Mei protected her head, her face twisted in pain, feeling as if her scalp was about to be pulled off. She screamed and cursed, asking Gu Tang to let her go immediately.

Gu Tang sat directly on her, threw the firewood in his hand aside, and punched Gu Mei in the face left and right.

"what--"

Gu Mei screamed in pain and no longer cared about cursing. She kept shouting that she was wrong and protecting her face.

This really hurts.

Last time, Gu Mei's face had been hit by Gu Tang from both sides. Because the beating was too severe and no one bought medicine for her to apply on her face, the injuries on Gu Mei's face recovered very slowly and have not healed yet.

Now he was being attacked by Gu Tang again from both sides, and his face, which had already been injured, was further injured, and the pain was doubled.

Gu Tang turned a deaf ear to him and just beat Gu Mei's cheek until it was broken and bleeding. He also covered her hands and face with smears. The scene before him looked like murder and bleeding.

Looking at the blood on his hands, Gu Tang shook them off with disgust, then stood up and stopped.

At this time in the yard, except for the crying of Gu Mei and Gu Laian, no one else dared to make a sound.

Except for Gu Ping'an, everyone else, including his third uncle, looked at Gu Tang in horror.

Especially the four aunts who were dumbfounded at the kitchen door, they were the most shocked.

It was the first time they had seen Gu Tang violently beating up the brother and sister!

Gu Lianshan often said that his second daughter was a wonderful son, filial to him as a father, and loving and protecting her brothers and sisters, which was the most beloved by him. Whether she was filial or not was unknown to Gu Lianshan, but now they had confirmed with their own eyes that this claim of loving and protecting her brothers and sisters was completely false!
After beating the man, Gu Tang felt better. He picked up the firewood and kicked Gu Mei to make her get up.

"Go to the kitchen and get some water to wash your brother's eyes. Then go carry the firewood for me! If you and your sister can't finish the work before dark, you'll be in trouble!"

Gu Mei shrank back in fear, her face numb from the pain, but she didn't dare to hesitate at all. She got up when asked, but she kept crying.

Gu Tang was annoyed by what he heard and glared at her: "Hold it back! Don't cry! Go get some water!"

Gu Mei was so scared that she took two steps back, trying hard to hold back her tears, and walked towards the kitchen with trembling steps.

When the aunts in the kitchen saw Gu Mei coming, they hurried back to the kitchen, trying to pretend that they had not seen anything that had just happened.

Gu Mei couldn't care less about them at this moment. She sobbed softly while looking for a basin of water. She soon went to find Gu Laian with the water.

The four aunts had been secretly looking at Gu Mei. Seeing her face covered in blood, they felt sorry for her, but no one spoke.

Gu Mei doesn't have a very good reputation in the village. Apart from anything else, all the girls in the village who have played with Gu Mei say that she is very competitive and jealous.

As long as Gu Mei likes something, she will shamelessly ask for it. If she is not given it, she will secretly destroy the thing so that no one can have it.

The aunts knew her character, so they pretended not to see it and didn't want to get into trouble.

Seeing Gu Mei fetching water, Gu Tang asked her to stop, wash her hands with the water in the basin, continue carrying the firewood, and asked Gu Mei to help Gu Laian wash his eyes.

Gu Tang stood next to the brother and sister, scolding and urging them from time to time, suppressing them completely.

After Gu Laian washed his eyes, he sobered up as well. He lowered his head and didn't even have the courage to look at Gu Tang. He was really scared of being beaten.

Gu Mei also looked at the water and tried to wash the blood off her face. Seeing her miserable appearance, tears fell again.

"What are you still standing there for?! Did you ignore what I just said? Hurry up and unload the firewood from the cart into the backyard, then pull the cart back home and continue moving firewood!"

Gu Tang yelled at the brother and sister impatiently, waving the firewood in his hand, which made a whistling sound. The brother and sister were so scared that they staggered towards the cart. Then they pulled the cart together and went to the backyard.

Seeing that the brother and sister had really behaved themselves, Gu Tang put the firewood in the corner with satisfaction, went to the corridor of the main hall, and apologized to his third uncle.

"Master, did you get scared? It's all my fault. I forgot you were still in the room. I was just mad at my elder brother and sister, so I resorted to violence. Normally, I never resort to violence."

Gu Ping'an immediately lowered his head when he heard this.

He didn't know how to hide his emotions, for he was afraid that his third uncle would see from his face that his second sister was lying.

Although he didn't see Gu Ping'an's face, Third Uncle still couldn't fool him. He nodded at Gu Tang and wanted to scold her, but this was his granddaughter who was just getting to know him well and whose temperament and character were very much to his liking, so he really couldn't bear to scold her.

Finally, he could only ask her angrily, "Why are you and your sister quarreling like this?!"

Gu Tang did not hide it and told his third uncle everything Gu Laian had just said and Gu Mei's instigation. In the end, he defended himself with a look of grievance.

"The clothes my eldest brother wears are made of new materials from me, and my eldest sister has also often taken things from me in the past, and I have never said a word of objection!
But look at me, I haven't gotten any good results yet, and I'm being forced to give them a hundred taels of silver! Tell me, is there any truth to this in the world?!"

So that's how it is.

Knowing that it wasn't Gu Tang who started the trouble, Third Uncle heaved a sigh of relief, and his heart leaned even more towards Gu Tang: "You should have told your father about this matter and let your father discipline them. You hit them without caring about anything, and there are outsiders in the house. Do you still want to keep your reputation?"

Gu Tang blinked and admitted his mistake very quickly: "Yes, I was impulsive and lost control of my temper. I promise, there will be no next time!"

Third Uncle smiled with satisfaction. This child was very sensible. He admitted his mistakes as soon as he knew they were wrong, without any hesitation or excuses.

"Come into the house with Third Uncle. You and your sister will be separated for a while. Calm down." Third Uncle turned around and went back into the house, asking Gu Tang to follow.

Gu Tang had no objection and followed briskly.

In the backyard, after unloading the firewood, the brother and sister pulled the cart to the front yard, took a furtive look, and when they didn't see Gu Tang, they all breathed a sigh of relief and walked out of the yard without stopping.

Although Gu Tang no longer stared at them, they all knew in their hearts that Gu Tang kept his word.

If they didn't move all the firewood before dark, Gu Tang would definitely use this as an excuse to beat them again!
The brother and sister looked at the sky. It would take at most two hours before dark, so they had to speed up. Otherwise, they might not be able to finish moving before dark.

……

This was Gu Lianshan's last trip. All his belongings had been moved. He chatted and laughed with others while walking towards the east of the village.

Halfway through the walk, I ran into Gu Mei and Gu Laian, a brother and sister.

At this time, Gu Mei's cheeks were red, swollen and torn, with traces of blood oozing from the wounds, leaving a trail of bloody marks, while Gu Laian's eyes were red and swollen into slits.

The appearance of the brother and sister really shocked Gu Lianshan.

He stopped and asked the brother and sister what happened: "Did you do this to yourselves, or was someone else beating you?"

Neither the brother nor the sister said anything, they just kept walking forward with their heads down.

As soon as Gu Lianshan saw the situation, he understood. Yes, it must have been his second daughter who beat him!

"My nephew and niece seem to be seriously injured. Brother Lianshan, hurry up and ask them. Make sure they are not being bullied by outsiders and are afraid to tell their family!"

The people who were helping to move the gear all looked worried and urged Gu Lianshan to keep up.

Gu Lianshan twitched his lips and didn't dare to tell his guess to everyone, so he could only throw dirty water on the siblings.

"They often fight with each other. One time, they almost broke their arm! This time, I think they fought each other. I'll get to know the situation after I get home and ask the family."

When they heard this, their eyes widened: "How can a brother and sister fight so fiercely?"

"Both of you are stubborn! You won't let me, and I won't let you. Now it has reached the point where we are disgusted with each other. Once we start fighting, we can't stop..."

Great!

A few people looked at each other and thought that the eldest daughter of the Lianshan brothers was a woman of blood and cruel!
Gu Lianshan stopped talking and continued on his way, speeding up again. Soon he entered the house.

As soon as they arrived at the yard, Gu Lianshan asked a few people to unload their things first while he went to the main hall to look for someone.
