Traveling through ancient times
Chapter 148 Work for Me for 3 Years
A few people quietly sent Gu Shangen back and took something out of the pillow!
There were not only a quilt and a silver bracelet in it, but also a gold hairpin, a bellyband, a handkerchief, and three hundred taels of silver notes. Gu Dalian put them all into her pocket!
It's already daybreak, and everyone in the Gu family is doing their own thing!
Qin Jiaojiao finished breakfast, it was already 9 o'clock. The family usually had two meals, so lunch was not considered early at this time!
What’s strange is that at this hour, the door of the main house is still not open!
Gu San knocked on the door and called:
"Dad, Mom, it's time to eat!"
I waited for a long time but there was no response! I called several times in a row, but there was no sound except Zhou Da Nu's snoring!
Gu Si's face turned cold: "Third brother, kick the door open quickly!"
Gu San kicked twice in a row. The door of the thatched hut was not strong and it collapsed with a loud bang!
Just as Zhou Da Nu's snoring had subsided for a moment, she started snoring loudly again!
Although the head of their family had his eyes open, his mouth and eyes were crooked and his eyes were empty, as if he had lost his soul!
"Oh my, what happened to Dad? Why hasn't Mom woken up yet?"
Yao saw this and yelled loudly!
When Xiao Wang heard the noise, she hurried over, went to the water jar and used the gourd ladle to scoop half a ladle of water, took a sip, and then sprayed it on her mother-in-law's face!
Zhou Da Nv was sleeping soundly when she felt a chill on her face. She suddenly sat up and yelled, "It's raining!"
Suddenly I saw a circle of people, a little confused:
"What are you all doing here? Ouch, my whole body aches, I can't even sleep in!"
"Mom, Dad is not well, please come and see him!"
"Get lost, you're cursing your father so early in the morning, Yao, I think you're tired of living! You're really going to tear the roof off your house if you don't get beaten up!"
The main room has an earthen kang. During this period, Gu Shangen was very disgusted with Zhou Da'nv. They slept on the east kang and the other on the west kang!
Miss Zhou didn't bother to pay attention to the situation around her. After a night's sleep, she still felt uncomfortable all over. She just thought that Yao was talking too much and raised her hand to hit her!
"Mom, stop making trouble. Go see Dad first. There's something wrong with Dad. We need to find a doctor right away!"
When Zhou Da Nu heard what Gu Si said, she turned around and looked at Xiu Kangdong and was dumbfounded!
Gu Shangen was seen lying on his back with his arms and legs spread out, his eyes crooked, his mouth crooked, and drooling. If he hadn't blinked his eyelids from time to time, he would have been no different from a dead person!
"Hey, old man, what happened to you? You were fine last night. Did you get possessed by some evil spirit?"
Zhou Danv hurriedly got up, without even bothering to straighten her messy hair. Wearing only her middle shirt, she climbed onto Gu Shangen and cried loudly, as if the old man was already dead!
Gu Da was supported by Gu Damei and her sister. He had a gloomy face, but he didn't look very sad. He found a bench and sat down without saying a word!
When Gu Xiaomei saw her grandfather suddenly become like this, she intuitively felt that it was related to her second cousin and the others. Although she felt sorry for her grandfather, she also thought that if someone wanted to kill her, she would not surrender. For a moment, she was full of thoughts!
Seeing that they could not rely on their mother at this moment, Gu Si and his wife said to Gu San:
"Third brother, go out and find out where there is a doctor. Ask him to come over and see Dad!"
Gu San was about to go out when he suddenly remembered something and turned back:
"Mother, give me some money. I need to hire a doctor. I'm afraid it will delay the work if I need money!"
Zhou Da Nu's triangular eyes rolled her eyes:
"I don't know you're hiding your secrets, and you're so unwilling to spend even a few coins. You're such an ungrateful bastard!"
Although he said that, he still quickly got off the kang, fumbled in the tattered wardrobe for a while, and dug out five copper coins and threw them on the kang!
"Mother, what can these five copper coins do? Can't you take more silver?"
Gu San was also anxious. He knew that my mother was stingy. She was still stingy at this critical moment. His voice was a little louder:
"Mom, this is not a joke, please take more quickly, don't delay anything!"
Zhou Da Nv went to the cabinet again, cursing, and counted inside with her head down behind everyone's back. Then she put the things in, closed the cabinet door, and came over to throw a handful of copper coins on the kang. It looked like there were about eighty or ninety copper coins!
Gu San rolled his eyes, gathered the coins together, took the half-worn handkerchief given by Yao, wrapped it up, and then hurried out!
The old Gu family is having a great time, and the young Gu family is not quiet either!
"This time it's our fault that we Five Tigers were too impatient and accepted the job without thorough investigation. We apologize to you all here!"
Qi Shanhu, Qi Yu and the other three bowed and saluted, admitting their mistakes sincerely!
"Can I ask you what your reasons are? You are one of the Five Tiger Heroes, so you can't just take on a job like that!"
Gu Dalian has wanted to ask this question since last night!
There are few people in the family, so if we want to grow and develop, capable people are indispensable!
From the way these five tigers speak and act, it can be seen that they are people worth making friends with. If we can win them over, it would be a good choice!
Qi Shanhu was about to speak, but Qi Haihu spoke first:
"We encountered an urgent matter and needed money urgently. We didn't expect that we didn't check it at the time and almost made a big mistake!"
"How much silver do you need? Can I ask what you want the silver to be used for? Maybe I can help you!"
Gu Dalian asked with a smile, and there was a hint of intention to make friends in her words!
Qi Haihu inexplicably felt that this little Gu family could be trusted!
"To be honest, Miss Gu, we are buying medicine for our master. Our master has been poisoned. It is said that the medicine costs at least several hundred taels... Alas, we have no use for it!"
"Oh, with the abilities of you five tigers, it shouldn't be difficult for you to earn money. How come you can't even come up with a few hundred taels?"
Gu Dalian continued to ask, it would be better for her to understand the person she wanted to make friends with more thoroughly!
"Usually, the money we earn, apart from keeping some for ourselves, is mostly used to help the poor who can't make ends meet. If we had known earlier, we would have kept more money in our hands and wouldn't be so anxious!"
The thin Sihu said with a somewhat neutral voice, speaking crisply and clearly!
"In that case, I understand. I have an antidote here. It can't cure all poisons in the world, but it can cure most diseases. Five hundred taels of silver. Do you want it?"
Several people looked at each other, and Qi Haihu stepped forward and said:
"Miss Gu, we definitely want the antidote, but we only have 100 taels of silver right now. Can you give us the rest..."
I can't say any more. I have no relationship with the man and he almost took my life. I really can't say "buy on credit"!
"Well, I admire you for being chivalrous. You can take the medicine first, but you have to write me a written agreement!"
Gu Dalian paused, and seeing that no one was interested in continuing the conversation, she continued:
"This document needs to be signed. The five of you work for me for three years, and after three years we'll be even!"
"What? Let us sell ourselves into slavery? This is not possible!" Qi Zhuanghu, the youngest tiger who has always been taciturn, couldn't help but speak!
"Listen carefully, I'm talking about a living contract! After three years, we can terminate the contract. At that time, whether you stay or leave is up to you!"
"As for the antidote in my hand, it shouldn't be too much to ask for one thousand taels of silver. I'm asking for this because you have a chivalrous heart. Otherwise, I can't give you a penny less!"
