The second lady was lying by the window, looking out through the hole in the window paper. When she saw Gu Erlang kneeling down, the second lady wiped her tears. She really wanted a brother like this. She was a concubine. The woman, in the eyes of her elder brother, is almost a transparent person.
The old lady became more and more angry, "Okay, okay, your whole family is protecting that girl, I just said this, there are only so many people protecting her."
"Didn't you redeem a girl? I'm afraid you invited an ancestor back!"
The old lady raised her cane and slapped Gu Erlang a few times. The second lady covered her mouth and shrank her shoulders.
Gu Erlang lowered his head and remained silent.
Gu Zhang and Mrs. Chen looked anxious, but they couldn't say anything. It was only natural for the old lady to lecture her grandson too much.
After a few strokes, the old lady lost her energy, threw away the crutch, sat on the ground and cried, "What evil have I done? I have raised these unfilial children and grandchildren. My life is miserable. The old man left early. I pooped them until they were big, and now they dislike me."
Gu Zhang's face was ashen. If it wasn't his mother, he would have picked up the broom and kicked them out, but this was his mother, so he couldn't beat or scold him. No.
The old lady's movements quickly attracted onlookers. There was no entertainment at this time. If someone had a quarrel or a fight, the melon-eaters would come over with their little horses.
Gu Fei couldn't bear it any longer in the house, so she climbed down from the kang and walked straight to the yard.
She looked at the old lady sitting on the ground and said, "Grandma, don't knock over a whole boat of people with one stroke. My parents are very filial to you."
"If you're wrong, it's all my fault."
"Yes . I'm not filial, come on, hit me here." Gu Fei turned his back and knelt down, pointing at his back.
"Hey, what's wrong with this girl, Xiao Fei? Her back is covered with blood. She looks scary."
"I heard that she was beaten up in the Hou's Mansion!"
"That's not all. The Hou's Mansion was ransacked, I heard. Xiao Fei was also imprisoned and taken to Nan Market to be sold. Fortunately, Gu Qing saw it and bought it back. "
"No wonder Gu Qing borrowed money from everywhere yesterday."
"Yes, I heard that it cost twenty taels. When I redeemed it, I only sold it for five taels of silver. Now I have spent twenty taels. It is not a loss!"
"The old lady has made a loss-making business. Xiao Fei was beaten like this again, no wonder she is resentful. "
The melon-eaters stood at the entrance of the yard, talking in a flurry of words.
When the old lady heard about the loss-making business, she couldn't help it. She wanted to say that Gu Fei went to the Hou Mansion to enjoy the blessing, but she couldn't say it when she saw the blood on Gu Fei's back.
If she really wants to beat Gu Fei with a cane, I'm afraid that the second child's family will be separated from her.
The old lady couldn't get off the stage, so she could only cover her face and cry.
Gu Zhang looked at his daughter kneeling on the ground, feeling heartbroken.
He stepped forward and helped the old lady up, "Mom, you are old and you are sitting on the ground to get cold. I will help you go back and lie down."
The old lady got off the donkey and hit Gu Zhang twice, "You have no conscience, you have no money." My son!"
Gu Erlang also got up from the ground, and he and his father helped the old lady out of the hospital.
Mr. Qian sneered from the side, the old lady was just making a fuss with the thunder and the rain, and she didn't take advantage of anything!
She raised her voice fiercely, "Mom, didn't you say you were going to your cousin's house yesterday?"
"Just in time, the second brother bought a mule cart. Let us lend it for a few days and let the boss take you to your cousin's house."
The old lady stopped at the entrance of the courtyard and looked back at the mule cart. The green cloth curtain on the cart looked brand new.
