Traveling to ancient times with a sign-in system

Chapter 49: Compared with Si Ya? No future!

The two sisters lowered their heads, their facial expressions unclear, and they stood there silently, receiving the scolding.

Gu Liansheng became annoyed when he saw how pathetic they were: "Look at how useless you two are! You're both girls, but look at this little girl! She's only seven or eight years old and all she knows how to do is bring money home!
What about you? One of you is sneaky and cunning, and the other is timid and cowardly! I'd rather have a dog than you! At least a dog will guard the door and bark a few times!

These words made the two sisters' eyes red with embarrassment, and Gu Lian even wiped her tears and sobbed.

Gu Liansheng became even angrier!

He grabbed the pillow from the bed and threw it at it: "How dare you cry?! Have you done anything I told you to do?

I asked you sisters to go look for your mother, but you couldn't find her! Now I asked you to go into the mountains with Si Ya, and you actually got lost in the mountains?! Tell me, what else can you do?!

The two sisters remained silent, but this time they stopped crying.

This attitude cannot be said to be bad, but Gu Liansheng just felt aggrieved and angry!
After a while, he seemed to be discouraged and drove the two sisters away with a gloomy face.

He and Gu Tianbao were the only ones left in the room.

Gu Tianbao was like a quail, hiding aside with his neck shrunk, not daring to breathe, for fear that his father's anger would spread to him.

But after the sisters Gu Qing and Gu Lian left, the atmosphere in the room became more and more depressing and suffocating, and Gu Tianbao's scalp felt numb.

He glanced at his father stealthily, swallowed, and asked tentatively, "Dad? You haven't taken your medicine yet. Should I go make some for you?"

Hearing his son's concern, Gu Liansheng's mood warmed up.

Although his son is a little stupid, he is still very filial to his father.

"Why would you be needed to make the medicine? Just tell your elder and second sisters to do it, and you can just sit back and continue reading."

Gu Tianbao breathed a sigh of relief.

Judging from the tone of his father's voice, he should not be angry with him.

"Then I'll go call my eldest and second sisters."

The fear that lingered in his heart dissipated, and Gu Tianbao returned to his usual calm state, walking briskly out to call for help.

So, the two sisters, who had just been scolded, came to the corridor with gloomy faces to boil medicine.

In the past, this was Gu Lian’s job, and Gu Qing would always find various excuses to avoid it.

Between the two sisters, Wei favors Gu Qing. Therefore, even though Gu Lian knows that she is lazy and unwilling to work, she dare not complain.

But at this moment, Gu Qing was also about to be scolded, and Wei was not at home, so no one would stand on her side anymore.

She wanted to continue hiding, but Gu Lianjin didn't tolerate her and told her bluntly that they should either go to the corridor to boil medicine together, or neither of them should go and wait to be scolded again.

Gu Qing is not Gu Lian. She is used to being scolded and is a bit like a tough guy. She is not thick-skinned enough to be that way, so she can only agree to go and boil the medicine together.

Just as they were about to light the stove in the corridor, Feng, who heard the noise in the main room, came out with a bag of medicine.

"Boil your grandfather's medicine as well." Feng handed the medicine over without any hesitation and ordered the two sisters to do it, which was very easy.

Facing Feng, the two sisters didn't dare to show any shame. They nodded in response, took the medicine bag, and lit another stove.

Feng stared at them for a while, but seeing she couldn't find any fault, she stopped paying attention to the sisters and went back inside. It was much warmer inside than outside on such a cold day.

After Feng closed the door, Gu Qing put down the medicine bag and cursed in a low voice with a frown on his face, "Is everyone in this family too sick to get out of bed? How can they just be ordered around by us?!"

"Shhh..." Gu Lian glared at her hurriedly, "If you want to say this, you have to go back inside! If you say it outside, what if Si Ya hears it? You don't know if she will scold you!"

Gu Qing's face froze, and anger instantly surged.

Just as he was about to explode, he saw the door of the west wing opposite being pushed open, and Gu Tang walked out of the room with his sleeves rolled up.

Gu Qing's expression changed immediately. He lowered his head and pretended to add firewood to the stove, not daring to say anything nonsense anymore.

Gu Lian also shuddered subconsciously. Not to mention raising her head, even her hands moved much lighter, for fear that Gu Tang would catch her and accuse her of making noise.

Gu Tang glanced at the two sisters and ignored them. He just shouted towards the kitchen: "Ping An! Light the stove and boil a pot of hot water."

"Got it." Gu Ping'an's voice came from the kitchen. He was very obedient. He boiled hot water when asked to do so without even asking the reason.

Gu Lian took a secret glance and felt very jealous.

Although Tianbao sometimes protects himself, to be fair, he is not as obedient as Gu Ping'an.

Fortunately, Tianbao’s strength is not being obedient, but studying.

When she passes the imperial examination in the future, she will also be able to benefit from it. Not to mention, when she gets married, she will be looked up to by her husband's family!
Ping'an is different. No matter how obedient he is, he is still a peasant who digs for food in the fields. He has no skills and no means of livelihood. Even if he wants to help Si Ya in the future, who will care about him?

Si Ya is even less presentable!

Which girl is like her, going into the mountains and showing off every day, with a unique and strong personality? Her mother said that girls from decent families all value chastity, tranquility and gentleness!
Si Ya's personality is very much like a man's. Which man would be willing to marry a wife who is more powerful than himself?

The more Gu Lian thought about it, the more proud she felt, and the frustration in her heart dissipated a lot.

Noticing the furtive glances from the opposite side, Gu Tang ignored them and went straight to the kitchen to get the knife.

As soon as they saw the knife, sisters Gu Qing and Gu Lian turned pale, shrank their bodies, and tried to reduce their presence.

Gu Tang didn't hold the knife to scare them. She took out all the tied rabbits and pheasants from the house, sat on the porch and started skinning and bleeding them.

First, Gu Tang slit the necks of two pheasants, collected the blood in a bowl, and threw them into the yard, letting them struggle and flutter as they pleased. It wouldn't take long for them to die.

After killing the chicken, Gu Tang broke the necks of the two rabbits, and then began to skin and gut them.

The two sisters were so frightened by Gu Tang's skillful technique that their eyes could not move!
I always feel that Si Ya did this on purpose for them to see!
After cleaning the rabbit, the hot water for Gu Ping'an was also boiled.

Gu Tang called him out to scald and pluck the chicken, and then gave it to her to gut.

Seeing her kill two chickens and two rabbits, Gu Pingan's mouth immediately filled with saliva. He happily scooped up some hot water and squatted under the porch to scald the chickens and pluck their feathers.
Taking advantage of this time, Gu Tang took the cleaned rabbit to the kitchen to wash it, then chopped it into small pieces and put it in a clay pot, added water and put it on the stove to blanch it.

After the rabbit was blanched, Gu Ping'an also took out the chicken.

He didn't let Gu Tang do the gutting, as he could do it himself. After plucking all the feathers, he gutted the two chickens and cleaned them up.

Keep the edible offal and put the inedible ones aside for now to use as bait to catch fish.
