I feel so good after dressing up as a peasant girl
Chapter 6 Baijia Village is the Poorest
Gu Yongming's intelligence and sharpness used to make old man Gu very proud, but now he feels disgusted and angry when Gu Yongming uses them on him.
He drooped his eyelids and said nothing, obviously not wanting to spend money to treat Gu Yongming's injuries.
Gu Yongming's parents, younger brother and uncle soon noticed where Gu Yongming's eyes were. They came to their senses and abandoned the father and son of the eldest wife and instead begged old man Gu to pay for a doctor for Gu Yongming.
Old Man Gu couldn’t pretend to be invisible anymore, so he started to use the tactic of procrastination.
Hiding the disgust and anger in his eyes because of Gu Yongming, Old Man Gu first looked at Gu Yongming's parents, brother and uncle, and then looked at the eldest family who were afraid that he would agree to treat Gu Yongming's injuries. The words "dilemma" were clearly written on his old face.
As expected, the first wife's family became even more opposed to his actions. Gu Yongming's parents, brother, and uncle were once again distracted by the first wife's family. The two groups quarreled fiercely, and time passed quietly in their quarrels.
However, Gu Yongming saw through the old man Gu's wishful thinking. He ignored the eldest family and asked the old man Gu, the head of the family, whether he would pay for his medical treatment.
Of course Old Man Gu didn't want to answer him directly, but he refused to listen to any nonsense from Old Man Gu. He just calmly forced Old Man Gu to choose between "yes" and "no".
Old Man Gu was forced into a corner by Gu Yongming. In order to avoid losing money, he could only speak out his true thoughts.
When Gu Yongming's father heard the word "not out", he immediately got furious. He was willing to be accused of being unfilial, so he took a hammer and was about to break the lock on the box where the money was kept at home.
When the other people who supported Gu Yongming's treatment saw this, they immediately helped him stop the Dafang family who wanted to rush over to stop him.
Except for the eldest wife, all the children and grandchildren rebelled collectively. This development was completely unexpected by Old Man Gu.
In a hurry, Old Man Gu simply proposed to let his second son and his family split up. He never mentioned that he was reluctant to part with the money and did not want to do a losing business. He just said that he was a man of flesh and blood, and he could not ignore the lives of his other children and grandchildren just to treat Gu Yongming's injury.
In this way, Gu Wenxuan's grandparents and their two sons were hurriedly separated (driven out) from the home by old man Gu.
They suffered a great loss in the distribution of property. Old Man Gu only gave them two small bags of grain as a symbol, and as for daily necessities, they were only allowed to take away bedding, tables, boxes, wooden basins, etc. from their own room.
In terms of land distribution, Old Man Gu seemed to be fair, giving each of his sons the same amount of land, but in fact, all of Gu Yongming's family was allocated low-quality land with poor soil and low yields. All the good land of the Gu family was still in the hands of Old Man Gu.
As for the money, houses, poultry and livestock, which were the main items in the division of property, just like the land, Old Man Gu did not give them any.
Thanks to him, as soon as the family was divided, Gu Yongming and his family fell into the embarrassing situation of being homeless and penniless.
It was Bai Lizheng who gave them the empty house at the end of the village so that their family would not have to sleep in the open air.
It was Bai Chong who took the initiative to suggest that he could treat Gu Yongming's injuries first, and then his family would slowly pay back the money for the medical treatment.
It was Gu Wenxuan's grandparents and those families in Baijia Village who had good relations with the second branch of the Gu family, who helped them through the most difficult time by giving them a few strings of money, a few pounds of noodles and a few baskets of vegetables.
In the following fifteen years, the second branch of the Gu family had to find ways to make ends meet, slowly purchase the necessities of life, give old man Gu and his wife a pension of 100 coins every year, pay more and more exorbitant taxes... At the same time, they had to repay Bai Chong for the medical expenses of Gu Yongming, and save money to buy the empty house that the village had provided for them to temporarily live in. It can be said that the pressure was quite great.
The original owner of Gu Wenxuan's body, in order to help share the pressure of the elders in the family, not only rushed to do all the work in the fields at home, but also went into the mountains with her parents during the slack season. She was able to earn money to support the family at a young age. She was not only a filial and caring little cotton-padded jacket to all the elders in the family, but also the "dream child" of the villagers.
Thanks to her, Gu Wenxuan not only did not have to deliberately pretend to be an ordinary thirteen-year-old ancient girl, but she could also continue to be extraordinary on her basis and become an exception. This was very important for Gu Wenxuan, who weighed 110 grams and had a rebellious bone structure.
"Dad, Mom, sister-in-law." Seeing Gu Wenxuan and others push open the courtyard door and walk in, Lin Shuzhen, who was left behind to look after the house, walked out of the kitchen quickly. After greeting Gu Wenxuan's grandparents and Jia Guizhi, she kept her eyes glued to Gu Wenxuan. "Wenxuan, where are you injured? Is it serious?"
Gu Wenxuan shook her head slightly, "Second Aunt, don't worry, I only suffered superficial injuries, I will be fine after a little rest."
Lin Shuzhen breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good."
As soon as she finished speaking, two dark little kids ran out from the west wing, calling out "Sister, sister" and moving their short legs very quickly.
These are Gu Wenxuan’s fourth and fifth brothers, one is six years old and the other is five years old. They have such a good relationship that they almost stick together like conjoined twins all the time.
As for Gu Wenxuan's second and third brothers, one was eleven years old and the other was nine years old, and they were already half of the family's labor force. After Gu Wenxuan went out, they followed Gu Wenxuan's second uncle who was preparing the land to dig up tender wild vegetables in their own fields.
The two little ones were stopped one meter away from Gu Wenxuan. Jia Guizhi and Lin Shuzhen each grabbed one to prevent them from rushing towards Gu Wenxuan.
Gu Wenxuan smiled and waved at them, while Jia Guizhi and Lin Shuzhen grabbed the arms of the two little ones and patiently told them that their sister was injured and no one was allowed to throw themselves on her for the time being.
The two little ones had worried looks on their faces, with crystal tears rolling in their eyes. They looked like they were about to cry but didn't, which was really pitiful.
Gu Wenxuan touched the little black kid's head with one hand and said, "Don't be afraid. I was just beaten up by the bad guys. I'll be fine after a while."
When the two children heard this, they immediately remembered the time when they were spanked for being naughty. They were well protected by the adults at home and had never encountered any life-threatening dangers. Being spanked by their father was the only time they had been spanked.
Thinking about how they would scream in pain when they were beaten, but would be full of energy again after a while, the two little ones breathed a sigh of relief.
The family surrounded the patient Gu Wenxuan and went to her room. While keeping an eye on her little monkey, Lin Shuzhen asked Jia Guizhi who was walking beside her in a low voice, "What about Jingzhou? Is his injury serious?"
Jia Guizhi nodded, "More serious than Wenxuan."
Gu Wenxuan's grandmother, Mrs. Li, spoke up at this time, "Guizhi, take a basket of eggs and an old hen to the Bai family. And take half of our bag of flour to the Bai family."
Jia Guizhi nodded, "Okay, mother."
Li said again, "I'll go get some money later, and you hide it in the basket of eggs for the Bai family."
Even though the money was given to them in person, Bai Chong and his wife refused to accept it, so they had to find another way.
