Chapter 22 Chopping with a Knife
All the inkstones, pens and ink on the desk were swept to the ground. The inkstone was broken, the pen was broken, and the ink stick was cut into several pieces.

The cabinets, stools, desks, etc. were all chopped into pieces by his daughter, leaving them in a complete state of disrepair.

The only things that were intact were the books, which his daughter hadn't touched.

Gu Lianshan nodded in satisfaction. It seemed that no matter how angry he was, he knew the seriousness of the matter and knew that the books could not be touched, but he could still deal with other things.

"Second brother..."

A faint sound was heard amidst the "bang bang bang" sounds. If Gu Lianshan had not been close to him, he might not have been able to hear it.

Looking for the source of the sound, he found his elder brother lying on the bed.

Gu Lianshan laughed: "Master Tongsheng, what happened to you? Doctor Gu said you were fine, so why do you look like you're dying?"

Hearing her father's voice, Gu Tang stopped and looked back.

Gu Lianshan waved at her, signaling her to continue.

Gu Tang's mood instantly improved, and he turned around and continued to chop the desk.

"Second brother..." Gu Liansheng shouted weakly, and he didn't even have the energy to get angry.

He tried to sit up, but as soon as he did, he felt dizzy and his head was heavy and nauseous. He lay on the bed and retched.

It has been like this since last night. I start vomiting as soon as I get up.

But after not eating or drinking all night, his stomach was empty and he couldn't vomit anything out. He could only dry heave.

You know what, the whole person was just like what Gu Lianshan said, looking like he was about to die.

Gu Lianshan had no mercy at all. Doctor Gu said that these symptoms were caused by brain damage. He would not die, but the suffering would be relieved after a few days of rest.

After dry heaving for a while, Gu Liansheng couldn't hold on any longer and lay back on his back. It took him a while to stop vomiting.

He was still calling Gu Lianshan and pointing his finger weakly at Gu Tang. His meaning was very clear, he wanted Gu Lianshan to take care of his daughter.

Those inkstones, pens and inks are his favorites!
Just to buy these things cost more than ten taels of silver, and now they are all destroyed!

If he really couldn't move, Gu Liansheng would have wanted to eat Gu Tang alive!

Gu Lianshan curled his lips and said in a very scoundrel tone, "My daughter's temper is even worse than mine. I can't control her, and I can't stop her. Anyway, if you smash these things, someone will pay for them. Why are you in such a hurry? Just let my daughter smash them to her heart's content, and then you can buy new ones later."

"You bastard!"

Feng was supported by Gu Ping'an and entered the east wing. As soon as she heard these words, she started yelling and cursing.

When she lifted the curtain and looked into the inner room, Feng was so heartbroken that she felt like bleeding!

"Stop it now! You little whore who's wasting things! Do you know how expensive these inkstones and brushes are? You can't even afford them even if you sell them! You're courting death! How dare you smash them all! I think your life has really come to an end!"

Hearing Feng's yelling, Gu Tang ignored her and continued to chop even harder. After more than ten hits, he finally split the desk in half.

But the knife in his hand was completely useless.

Gu Tang stopped, looked at the bent blade of the kitchen knife, clicked his tongue twice, and lamented that it was not durable.

When Feng saw this scene, she felt dizzy.

Gu Lianshan smiled and settled the accounts with Feng: "I remember this desk. When I bought it, I spent several hundred copper coins! Mother, it seems that you will have to dig out your coffin money this time. The things on the ground will cost more than ten taels."

"You beast, you beast!" Feng pointed at her son, then at Gu Tang. "You've completely ruined the house. What good will come of you and your daughter?"

Gu Tang curled his lips and said, "After all, the silver in your hand was left by your uncle, and we can't get any of it. So, we might as well spend it all. At least I can vent my anger."

"You, you..." Feng was so angry that she covered her chest and her face turned pale. Not only did her vision turn black, but she also saw flashes of stars.

Seeing her like this, Gu Tang immediately moved away from her: "If you die, don't do it in front of me. I'm afraid I won't be able to explain it clearly. Dad! Hurry up, let's get out of here!"

As she said this, she threw down the kitchen knife with a rolled edge and hurriedly pulled her father out of the house.

Feng was unable to stop them at all. She watched helplessly as Gu Tang pulled Gu Lianshan with one hand and pushed Gu Ping'an with the other, and the family of three left without any regrets.

The Wei mother and her two children in the outer room did not dare to stop them. They waited until they were far away before wiping their tears and going into the inner room.

Feng was leaning against the wall at this time, breathing heavily.

Looking at the smashed house and her eldest son lying half-dead on the bed, she was overwhelmed with grief and threw herself on her son and started crying.

It is very rare to see someone who used to be so strong being so angry that he cried several times in two consecutive days.

When the four Wei family members came in, they saw this scene and looked at each other in surprise.

Even Feng, who always acts domineeringly at home, can't control that damn girl Gu Tang. Does that mean that the damn girl is really going to be the one in charge of this family in the future?
The Wei mother and son shuddered, feeling disgusted and resisted from the bottom of their hearts!

……

After venting her anger, Gu Tang felt much better. When she returned to the west wing, she was not affected by seeing Gu Mei and her brother who had just come out from hiding in the house.

On the contrary, Gu Mei and her brother quickly lowered their heads when they saw Gu Tang, turned around and hid back in the house.

Gu Tang glanced at it but didn't take it seriously.

She wrapped herself in a blanket, asked Gu Ping'an to move the clay stove to the corridor, and asked her father to sew a fur coat for her there.

"Aren't they just jealous and envious? Today I'm going to let them be jealous and envious enough! I'm just watching here! Let's see who dares to put their hands on it!"

Gu Tang had a ferocious look on his face. He asked Gu Ping'an to bring a stool over. Regardless of the biting cold wind, he sat in the corridor and stared at the east wing.

See if they dare to show their heads again!
Neither Gu Lianshan nor Gu Ping'an, father and son, dared to persuade him.

Both father and son knew how to sew clothes, so they simply sat together in front of the clay stove and sewed fur coats together.

It would be hard to find a man as skilled in sewing clothes as Gu Lianshan and his son Gu Ping'an, even with a lantern.

There was no other way for the father and son to learn this craft. Whether as a wife or a mother, Zhang was not qualified in the Gu family.

Apart from anything else, she never cares about the clothes and shoes of the men and children in the house. Only when you bring them to her and ask her directly to do it, will she reluctantly sew a few stitches.

But it often takes a long time to complete the sewing of a piece of clothing.

What takes others two days takes her five or six days, or even seven or eight days.

The stitches on the clothes she made were always coarse and not fine, which was a world of difference compared to what she wore herself.

After a few times, Gu Lianshan realized that the other party was unwilling to do this work for them. To put it bluntly, his heart was not in the Gu family.

Gu Lianshan did not force it, and as a grown man he did not despise her. He slowly learned how to mend clothes, sew soles, make straw sandals, etc.

That means being both a father and a mother.

Zhang Shile was so relaxed that she became less and less concerned about things.

Gu Lianshan didn't say a word, but since then, the relationship between the couple has become cold.
