Traveling to ancient times with a sign-in system

Chapter 40 No One Says Kiss
The scars on Gu Lian's face were like a basin of cold water, instantly extinguishing Gu Qing's anger.

She staggered a few steps with a pale face, then collapsed on the couch and started crying: "Wuwuwu... Daddy is too sick to get up, Mom is nowhere to be found, and Tianbao can't support the family... If anyone had the will to be strong, they wouldn't let others bully them like this! Wuwuwu..."

Gu Lian glanced at her, somewhat dissatisfied with her dragging her younger brother into this matter. "How old is Tianbao? He's young and a scholar, how can you expect him to help you? If you were a strong person, you wouldn't have to rely on this and that today!"

Gu Qing sat up suddenly, pointing at Gu Lian and cursing, "You rotten-hearted girl! How dare you lecture me! Do you think you can bully us around now that our mother is away?"

Gu Lian pursed her lips and said nothing.

It would be fine if Gu Qing didn't get angry, but if he did, Gu Lian would still be afraid of Gu Qing.

"Speak! Why don't you say anything? Mother has only been away for a day, and you are already so excited!" Gu Qing had a ferocious look on his face, and stretched out his hand to pinch Gu Lian's waist hard!
This pinch was obviously done with great strength, and Gu Lian, who was usually able to endure it, cried out in pain: "Ah!!!"

The pain in the flesh around my waist became so severe that I lost all feeling, as if it had been pinched off.

Gu Tianbao in the inner room heard his second sister's screams of pain and immediately lifted the curtain and rushed out.

He pushed Gu Qing to the ground and cursed at her with a frown: "Who in this family can be as happy as you! When you encounter bad things, you expect others to help you, but when you encounter good things, you run faster than a rabbit!"

Gu Qing felt embarrassed and annoyed by these words, and she stood up to hit him.

Gu Tianbao was spoiled by Wei since he was a child, and he was known for his bad temper. Seeing this, he kicked him.

"I'm not your second sister. Do you want to lose your temper with me? If you make me angry, I can beat you to death!"

Gu Qing screamed after being kicked and fell to the ground again. He covered his stomach and was unable to get up for a long time.

Gu Tianbao spat at her and pushed Gu Lian and him into the inner room, telling them not to pay attention to their elder sister.

Seeing the brother and sister go into the inner room together, Gu Qing's eyes turned red with hatred, but he didn't dare to chase them and yell at them, so he could only lie on the ground and cry.

Ever since the sisters in the eldest house started arguing, Gu Tang outside the door leaned on the door curiously to listen to the movements in the house.

I didn't expect that there would be such discord between the three siblings of the eldest wife.

In the past, I only knew that Gu Qing had always bullied Gu Lian, but unexpectedly, she didn't even take Gu Tianbao seriously.

And the eldest wife's darling, I thought he was a spineless loser, but who would have thought he was also a person who knew how to protect others.

Gu Tang clicked his tongue twice. He wanted to laugh at the eldest son's family, but then he thought that his brothers and sisters in his own family were also in conflict.

This is really... We are all the same, so no one should make fun of anyone else!

Glancing back at Feng who had fainted on the ground, Gu Tang returned to the west wing carrying the hammer.

When he passed by Feng, he took advantage of the darkness and stepped on Feng's right hand, deliberately crushing it several times, which made Feng groan in pain and was about to wake up.

Gu Tang quickly withdrew his foot and returned to the house as if nothing had happened.

Not long after, Gu Lianshan came back with the ox cart. As soon as he entered the yard, he stepped on Feng.

Gu Lianshan's kick was quite clever and he actually stepped on Feng's little foot. Feng screamed in pain and woke up, which scared Gu Lianshan!
"Mom? What are you doing lying on the ground so late at night?" Gu Lianshan angrily accused Feng Shi, not mentioning the fact that he had stepped on someone. Feng Shi, who had regained consciousness, burst into tears upon seeing her son. She scolded him for what Gu Tang had just said, calling him vicious and evil, and saying that if the eldest wife's family had any problems in the future, it would all be blamed on Gu Tang.

Gu Lianshan didn't believe it. In his eyes, his mother didn't say a single word of truth.

He impatiently tore off the fig leaf of the eldest wife's family: "Go ask around in the village. What's the reputation of the eldest wife's family? My eldest brother's daughter is already fifteen this year! She'll be sixteen next year! Has anyone come to propose marriage? Do you really not know what's going on here?"

This question stumped Feng, and she fell silent for a moment.

"Second!"

An angry shout came from the main room. Old Master Gu came out of the room at some point and stood with his back to the light, making it impossible to see his face.

He scolded his son, "What nonsense are you talking about! You've ruined your niece's reputation, and what good will that do to you? We're all family, and it's hard to find a partner for your eldest brother's daughters and sons, but it's easy for the girls and boys in your family?!"

"It doesn't matter to my son! I'll support my daughter even if she can't get married! I'll also support my son even if he can't get a wife! You want to put the blame on my daughter? That won't do! This son will never tolerate it!"

After saying this, Gu Lianshan no longer paid attention to his parents and turned to go to the kitchen.

Feng sat on the cold ground for a while, then she got up tremblingly and went back to the house without saying a word.

Old Master Gu was still standing at the door, with his back to the light, wondering what he was thinking about.

After a while, he let out a long sigh, his back suddenly hunched over, and he looked several years older.

In the kitchen, Gu Lianshan saw his son boiling water and cooking again, and his anger instantly rose. "Where are your older brother and sister?"

"They have eaten. Grandma asked them to help look for my aunt today and gave them two bowls of porridge."

"What about you? Did you eat it too?"

Gu Ping'an shook his head: "No, grandma asked me to go with you to look for my aunt, but I thought my second sister's medicine was still in the room, and our room was not locked. I was afraid that if I left and no one was watching the room, grandma would take the opportunity to secretly throw my second sister's medicine out. So I didn't agree to go, and grandma was angry and didn't give me the porridge."

Gu Lianshan: ...His mother is the best nanny in the village!
Lifting the lid of the pot, he saw the water inside was already boiling. He waved to his son, "Stop burning it. Take the stove to your second sister's room and cook some porridge there later."

"Porridge?" Gu Ping'an suddenly looked up, his eyes sparkling. "Is it that kind of white rice porridge? I've seen my uncle eat it before, and it smells delicious!"

Gu Lianshan's heart ached, and he forced a smile and nodded at his son, "Yes, white rice porridge. Your second sister bought dozens of kilograms of it, and you just helped carry it into the house. Didn't your second sister tell you?"

"I didn't ask. I thought it was millet flour, but it turned out to be white rice?!" Gu Ping'an showed no sign of concealing the joy on his face. He picked up the stove and ran to Gu Tang's house.

Gu Lianshan wiped his face, feeling uncomfortable and aching in his heart.

The child grew up to this age, and he only ate rice fritters for a few months when Zhang stopped feeding him. After he grew teeth, his family refused to give him white rice, and the child has never eaten white rice since then.

But his eldest brother's family would sneak a few meals from time to time.
