My parents are both dead, I rely on fishing and farming to support my younger siblings
Chapter 60 Gu Shuwen has his own fault
She actually made trouble for Huang Yao in front of a yellow-haired boy!
I'm so angry!
"Gu Shuwen is so bold as to insult an official appointed by the imperial court and even use someone else's prescription to claim the reward. Take him away and give him a hundred lashes with the cane!" Magistrate Yang shouted angrily.
After thinking for a while, County Magistrate Yang continued, "You just said that you were studying and wanted to pursue a career in government. You are not fit to be an official! I will write a letter to the prefect in a moment. You will never pass the prefectural examination in your lifetime."
When Gu Shuwen heard this, he immediately panicked.
If I can't pass the provincial examination, it means I can't take the examination for a scholar, so how can I pursue a career in officialdom?
He originally wanted to use provocation to prove that the prescription was his, but he lost control of his position and ended up going too far.
He never thought that if the county magistrate really wanted to favor anyone, why would he accompany them here to find evidence?
"My Lord, I am sorry for my words. I beg you to be magistrate and not to take it too seriously. But the prescription is really my mother's!"
Gu Shuwen quickly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, but he still insisted that the prescription was his.
County Magistrate Yang sneered, "You say it's yours, but you can't even recognize all the medicines, and you have no way to prove it's yours, and you still dare to quibble!"
"Mr. County Magistrate, please call my mother. My mother can prove it!" said Gu Shuwen.
Right now there is really no way to prove that the prescription is his own, but as long as the water is muddied, the county magistrate will be helpless.
The village head stepped forward and questioned, "Gu Shuwen, your mother has gone insane due to a fever, and you asked the county magistrate to bring your mother here. What is your intention?"
Last night when the village head went to Gu Jingsheng's house, he saw Niu Cuihua eating chicken shit under the eaves.
Now the news came, are you going to perform the chicken shit-eating show for the county magistrate?
When the county magistrate heard this, he instantly became furious.
After playing tricks on me for so long, do you want to call your silly mother to play tricks on you too?
"Take him away! Beat him hard!" Magistrate Yang pointed at Gu Shuwen.
Gu Shuwen was so scared that he wet his pants on the spot. If he was beaten with a hundred sticks, even if he didn't die, he would definitely be disabled.
"My Lord, I was wrong. I will never do it again. Please spare my life, my Lord!" Gu Shuwen was finally scared and begged for mercy.
But County Magistrate Yang didn't even want to look at him, and Gu Shuwen was dragged away by the county government.
Wherever he went, there was a long wet trail.
Gu Lili stepped back in disgust and watched Gu Shuwen leave.
Soon, Gu Shuwen's screams were heard outside.
However, no one present sympathized with him, as it was all his own fault.
"Since this prescription belongs to Gu Lili, then the reward should be given to you." County Magistrate Yang said to Gu Lili.
Master Li took the order and quickly took out two hundred taels of silver and handed it to Gu Lili.
County Magistrate Yang continued, "Since this prescription has worked, I will go and inform the other village heads. You two can go back first! I would like to thank you, Gu Lili, on behalf of the people of Donghai Town."
Gu Lili nodded and put the banknote away without any hesitation. After all, her family still needed the money to build a house.
Gu Lili informed the county magistrate of the precautions for bloodletting, and then left the county government office with the head of the village.
When he came out, Gu Shuwen was still executing the sentence.
Even though he had been knocked unconscious, the bailiff still showed no intention of stopping.
"Lili, let's go back!" the village head said to Gu Lili.
The head of the village did not feel that he was too ruthless at all. On the contrary, he felt that he was too soft-hearted. He actually gave Gu Lili's prescription to Gu Jingsheng's family, which caused such a thing.
The two walked down the street, and there was no one on the road.
Gu Lili had originally thought about inviting the village head to have a meal before going back, but now there was no other way.
I wanted to buy something, but it seems that was not possible.
However, I have found a house for myself.
At this moment, Gu Lili was extremely grateful to the village head. If he had not brought her to the county government to offer the prescription, she would not have received the reward money.
You never know, maybe that bastard Gu Shuwen really got the reward.
The two walked on the way home without saying a word.
It was the village head who broke the silence.
"Lili, I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have told Gu Jingsheng's family about your prescription. Sigh!"
Gu Lili looked at the head of the village who was full of self-blame and said with a smile, "Grandpa head of the village, you have done me no wrong. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame Gu Shuwen for his ill intentions."
"Besides, I will tell you the prescription even if you don't tell him."
The village head looked at Gu Lili with confusion.
Gu Lili smiled and said, "This plague is contagious. If Gu Jingsheng's family is not well, then it will continue to infect the people in our village!"
What Gu Lili didn’t say was that Gu Jingsheng’s family deserved to die, but they could not drag down the villagers.
Once I am stable again, I will definitely give them a different way to die!
However, I'm afraid this family will bring about their own destruction without having to wait for Gu Lili to take action personally!
"Is this really the case?" asked the village head in confusion.
Gu Lili nodded heavily and said, "That's right. By the way, Village Chief, I have something else to trouble you with. Now that I have money, I want to build a house for my family after the plague is gone."
When the head of the village heard this, he immediately became excited.
"Of course. After this period, you can decide what kind of building you want to build. I will check it for you!"
The grandfather and grandson chatted casually and went home.
When they arrived at Gu Lili's house, they parted ways.
When Gu Lili returned home, Gu Erniu also happened to come back.
"Erniu, are grandpa and grandma and their family okay?" Gu Lili asked.
Gu Erniu smiled and said, "Sister, I taught them the method you taught me. When I came back, their fever had subsided. Grandpa even asked my uncle to tell the head of their village about the prescription!"
After listening to this, Gu Lili also breathed a sigh of relief, as long as her grandparents were fine.
This prescription was originally meant to be told to everyone, so Gu Lili very much agreed with her grandfather's approach.
"Sister, come and have dinner." Gu Huanhuan shouted.
It was already past dinner time, but Gu Huanhuan and Gu Sigou had not eaten yet. They were waiting for Gu Lili and Gu Huanhuan to eat.
Gu Lili was already starving at this time, so she hurried to the kitchen to eat.
"Wait, don't go, I have good news to announce!" After dinner, Gu Lili stopped the three people who were about to go to work.
The three of them hurriedly turned back, surrounded Gu Lili, and waited for Gu Lili to tell them the good news she had mentioned.
Gu Lili didn't keep the secret and took out the silver bills from her bosom.
"Sister, what is this?"
"Yes, sister, what are the things written on these two pieces of paper?"
Gu Lili originally thought that the three of them would jump for joy.
