Traveling to ancient times with a sign-in system

Chapter 20 There is something wrong in my heart
Gu Lianshan nodded in agreement. "You know what? Your grandfather and your grandmother did think so. Your grandmother even planned to send the eldest son and his wife to the imperial examination if there was another flood."

Gu Tang: ...Feng is thinking that if you don’t have enough strength, you can make up for it with luck?
"Eat it. You didn't eat anything last night, so just eat a little first. Dad will go to the village later to ask if anyone has gone into the mountains to catch rock chickens. If there are any, Dad will buy one with copper coins and kill it for you at noon to replenish your body."

Gu Lianshan knew that Gu Tang didn't like millet porridge, but there was really nothing available at the moment. Even the salty and bitter pickles were locked in the cabinet in the main room by his mother.

This was his mother's usual method of controlling the second wife. Whenever the second wife disobeyed her wishes, her food supply would be cut off immediately.

"No, I'm still setting traps on the mountain. I'll go up the mountain soon. If I can catch a rabbit, I'll kill one and eat it today."

Gu Tang gritted his teeth and said this, taking a deep breath, picking up the bowl and swallowing in big mouthfuls, not wanting to savor it at all. The more he savored, the harder it was to swallow.

The bland, sticky paste is not only irritating to the throat, but also tastes a bit like snot in the mouth, and a bit like the slugs we played with as children...

Huh——

I can’t think about it, or I’ll vomit!

Gu Tang put down the bowl and rushed out of the kitchen immediately.

The pastries she bought yesterday were in her system backpack. She went back to her room and took out a few pieces to suppress the nausea in her throat.

The pastries here have less oil and sugar, and are as dry and hard as unleavened bread. They really don't taste good, but compared to millet porridge, Gu Tang still prefers to eat pastries because at least they have a hint of sweetness.

He returned to the house and took out a bag. Gu Tang frowned and ate two pieces, but he couldn't swallow any more.

Suddenly, I felt an immense sense of frustration.

This time travel is really a living hell!
Eat, eat poorly.

Wearing it won’t keep you warm.

And then you still get scolded and humiliated!

This is simply not a life for human beings!

Gu Tang felt a surge of anger in his heart, and cursed the bastard soul-catcher a thousand times again.

Taking the remaining pastries back to the kitchen, Gu Tang distributed all the pastries to her father and stepbrother.

"Dad is a healthy person, why would he eat this? Don't waste it!" Gu Lianshan refused to take it and waved his hands repeatedly, "Put it away for yourself. Eat a piece when you feel like it. Dad doesn't like this."

Seeing that his father refused to take it, Gu Ping'an put the pastry back obediently even though his mouth was watering. He stared at the pastry for a long time before moving his eyes away.

Gu Tang frowned, "I don't like to hear that. What do you mean by wasting things? The father and son of the eldest wife buy a bag of cakes every now and then to sweeten their mouths. Even such a useless person can eat them, so why can't you?"

As he said that, he stuffed a piece of cake into Gu Ping'an's mouth and asked him to eat first: "Don't pay attention to Dad, just eat yours."

Then he glanced at her father and said, "It's just a few cakes. How can they be as expensive as the green wine yesterday?"

Gu Ping'an was stuffing pastries into his mouth, and he choked immediately when he heard this!

He grabbed the ladle, scooped up some warm water from the clay stove and took a few big gulps, finally swallowing the pastry in his throat.

He coughed twice and asked in a low voice: "Did Dad really buy green wine?!"

"I bought it. It cost me a hundred coppers."

"Where's the wine?" Gu Ping'an asked curiously.

"ate up."

Gu Ping'an was dumbfounded: "You've already eaten everything you bought?"

"Nonsense!" Gu Lianshan's face flushed. "Who said they ate it all? There was still some left yesterday!"

"Where is it?" "In... why are you asking this?!" Gu Lianshan hid the remaining green wine and didn't tell anyone. When he heard his son ask this, he looked suspicious.

Gu Ping'an licked his face and smiled apologetically: "Dad, please let me have a taste... Ouch!" Before he could finish his words, he was slapped on the head by Gu Tang!

"I think you deserve a beating! You're so young, yet you're addicted to alcohol! Tell me! How many times have you eaten secretly?" Gu Tang frowned and was very angry.

This is the "investment stock" she chose. If her brain is ruined because of drinking, she will be furious!
"No, no, no!" Gu Ping'an waved his hands hurriedly, "I didn't drink the wine secretly! It was Gu Tianbao who showed off in front of me, saying that my uncle gave him some wine. I heard him say it was so delicious, so I wanted to try it too..."

"Don't even think about it!" Gu Tang interrupted him directly, "If I find out that you're drinking behind people's backs, watch out for your hide!"

Gu Ping'an was so scared that he shrank his neck and kept saying he didn't dare.

Gu Lianshan laughed and scolded, "You deserve it! You're greedy!"

"Second brother! Get out here!"

As they were talking, Feng's angry shout suddenly came from the main room.

The smile on Gu Lianshan's face immediately disappeared.

Gu Tang took a glance, put the pastries away with his hands swiftly, and stuffed them all to Gu Ping'an, asking him to hide them and eat them slowly.

"I'm afraid you're here to ask about the rabbit skin." Gu Tang gathered the rabbit skin on his body and lowered his head to admire it for a few seconds.

Well, the more she looked at it, the more beautiful it became. She couldn’t wait to show it to Feng.

Gu Lianshan's face darkened. Needless to say, he knew that his parents were too short-sighted to even notice. Now that they knew his daughter had rabbit fur, they must be frantically thinking about how to ask for it!

He took a deep breath. He didn't want to see his mother at all at this moment.

But Feng was still shouting in the main hall: "Second brother! Second brother! What! Now even I, your mother, can't call you?"

"Dad, you're not going out? Then I'll go out." Gu Tang didn't care about her father's reaction and walked out of the house happily.

When Gu Lianshan saw her eager look, his right eyelid twitched and he hurriedly followed her.

"Grandma, you're yelling for trouble so early in the morning, don't you think it's bad luck?"

Gu Tang arrived before he even spoke, and as soon as he finished speaking, he left the kitchen.

Feng put her hands on her hips, her gloomy old face drooping. When she heard this, she was so angry that her face twitched.

When Gu Tang came out, Feng Shi saw that he was really wrapped in a rabbit skin blanket. She became furious and started cursing at Gu Tang.

"You unfilial bitch! Are you talking to me? I'm your grandmother! You have no respect for your inferiors, you filthy bastard! If the tribe finds out, I'll have you thrown into a pig cage tomorrow!"

"Don't wait until tomorrow! Go and tell them now and see whether the clan believes you or me!" Gu Tang's voice was louder than hers.

Gu Tang pointed outside the courtyard and continued, "You just stay home and show off to the younger ones! In all these years, you haven't even left the courtyard. You say you're a virtuous woman who never leaves the main gate or the secondary gate. Ha! Do you really think I don't know what's going on here?"

Feng's body froze for a moment, her ears buzzed like thunder, and her vision went dark.

What followed was a surge of anger rushing straight to my head!

"You despicable little whore! I don't know which gossipmonger you listened to, and now you're coming back to tell me off! I'm going to kill you today, or I'll never see anyone alive again!"

Her eyes were red, her cheeks were twisted, and she stared at Gu Tang with a fierce and sinister look. Her voice was so sharp that it broke, which scared people!
After cursing, Feng frantically looked around for something handy. From the look on her face, she really wanted to beat Gu Tang to death.
