Chapter 3: Mrs. Gu beats someone up

Chapter 3 Mrs. Gu beats someone up

Gu Jinan was very worried: "Doctor Du, is Xiaoyu's situation serious? What should I do?" He forgot things. Doesn't that make him stupid?

Doctor Du shook his head and said with a smile: "People who have injured their brains will forget things more or less. This situation is normal and nothing serious. As long as you are alive, it doesn't matter if you can't remember the past clearly. You can tell Xiaoyu."

 Doctor Du's words made Gu Jinan and others feel relieved.

Doctor Du left a small packet of gold sore medicine for Gu Xiaoyu, told her to change the medicine once a day, and then packed up the medicine box and said goodbye: "I'm going back. If Xiaoyu feels dizzy or has a severe headache, come back to me."

Gu Dashan hurriedly handed the bamboo tube filled with water to Doctor Du: "Doctor Du saved the little fish, you must accept this water."

When he went to ask Doctor Du, Doctor Du didn't ask for the water, so he could only bring it back, and now he begged Doctor Du again to accept it.

Doctor Du waved his hand: "Save this water for the little fish to drink. She just woke up and needs to replenish water. I still have half a can of water at home, so you are not lacking."

Escape from famine is not easy. He is a doctor and has already collected half a bowl of food from the Gu family. How can he still take the life-saving water from the Gu family?

In the past three days, he had seen how the Gu family father and son carried Gu Xiaoyu on their way. The boss of the Gu family was a simple and honest man, and he could not deny his family's livelihood.

 After saying that, he quickly left with the medicine box on his back.

Gu Dashan wanted to catch up, but he was so hungry that his eyesight was blurred and his legs were wobbly. He couldn't catch up with Doctor Du. He could only turn back and said to several children: "Doctor Du has been kind to our family. We must remember this kindness." Live, I must repay you if you have the chance."

Gu Jinan, Gu Jinli and others nodded in agreement.

The whole family was very happy because Gu Jinli had regained consciousness. However, they were too tired from the journey and were very hungry. The whole family just said a few words and then began to rest.

Before going to bed, Gu Jinli asked Cui: "Mom, where is the medical book that Grandpa Bai gave me?"

The original owner was a very lively and enthusiastic girl. She helped many people along the way, including an old man named Bai. Because she gave the old man a few drinks of water and helped him walk for several days, the old man left her with her before he died. A medical book said that she could keep it for herself to study, or find a drug store to sell it for money. In short, it was a good thing.

The original owner cherished this medical book and kept it with her. She would read it when she had time. Gu Jinli was very surprised to have this memory in her mind. She didn't have to bother to find excuses to explain her medical skills.

Ms. Cui unpacked her bag and gave her the medical book: "Mom has been hiding it from you and didn't let you throw away the milk."

Because she was literate and taught several children how to read, her mother-in-law was very angry. She did not allow the children to read and would beat them up when they were caught reading.

"You have just woken up. You need to have a good rest. Don't watch it tonight. If you want to watch it tomorrow, take some of your milk and don't let her find out." Cui said.

 “Thank you, mother.” Gu Jinli took the medical book.

The medical book is very thick, with four traditional Chinese characters written on the cover: Youshi Medical Dictionary. When I opened it, I saw that the paper inside was yellow and tattered.

After reading a few pages, Gu Jinli found that most of them described how to identify medicinal materials, and only a few described diseases. As for the prescriptions, there were even fewer, and few were useful.

But it doesn’t matter. She was a military doctor in her previous life and also studied Chinese medicine. She knows everything she needs to know. This medical book is just an excuse for her to learn medical skills. Gu Jinli knew that he would be on his way before dawn tomorrow, so he put away the medical books, lay down on the straw mat, and fell asleep quickly.

 The next day, just after dawn, Gu Jinli was woken up by a burst of curses.

“A bunch of deadbeats, why are you still not up, waiting for the old lady to come and serve you? How dare you lend grain to a loser to ask a doctor, and you don’t have to pay back the grain? That’s all the grain of my old Gu family!”

Mrs. Gu has been scolding Gu Xiaoyu every day since she found out three days ago that Gu Jinan went to ask someone to borrow food to save Gu Xiaoyu. When she got up this morning and heard that Gu Xiaoyu had woken up, she was so angry that she ran to Gu Dashan's house with a cane. In the place where he slept, he beat Gu Jinan all over.

Gu Jinan knew that Old Mrs. Gu was tough. If he dared to hide, Old Mrs. Gu would hit his eldest sister and younger brother if he couldn't hit him. He had no choice but to endure the pain and stand there and let Old Mrs. Gu beat him.

Mrs. Cui cried and knelt down and begged Mrs. Gu: "Mother, please don't hit Brother An. Brother An also borrowed food to save the little fish."

Gu Dashan hugged Gu Jin'an and protected him from Mrs. Gu's severe beating. He also begged: "Mom, please be kind and don't hit Brother An." Brother An was still a half-year-old child, how could he withstand it? Such a fight?

　　Seeing Gu Dashan protecting Brother An, Mrs. Gu hit her harder with the crutch in her hand: "I asked you to protect this wolf cub, I will beat you to death for being an unfilial person."

Gu Jincheng was very frightened, but he cried and begged Mrs. Gu: "Nai, Nai, please stop hitting me. If you hit me again, you will beat me to death."

Gu Jinxiu trembled and said: "Yes, yes, grandma, if you hit me again, I will be beaten."

"Bah, you little fox, shut up, do you have the right to speak?" Mrs. Gu didn't like Gu Dashan's family, especially Gu Jinxiu. Like Ms. Cui, she was pretty and pretty, so she took several of her granddaughters They kept competing, and every time she saw Gu Jinxiu's face, she wanted to cut her with a knife.

Gu Jinli had never seen such a vicious old lady. After being woken up, he held up his tired body and gathered strength to rush forward. He held Mrs. Gu's crutches with both hands, stared at her, and said: "Mistress, my father and The eldest brother was going to find food and beat them up. Do you want the second uncle and his family to go find food?"

Mrs. Gu was having fun beating someone when her cane was suddenly held in her hand. She was so angry that she was about to get angry. When she heard Gu Jinli's words, she choked instantly.

The people in Gujia Village are fleeing the famine together. Each family has to spend several strong laborers to find food every day, keep vigil at night, and resist other victims from snatching food. In the old Gu family, all these jobs are done by Gu Dashan and his son. If Gu Dashan and his son are damaged, the village chief will definitely ask the old Gu family to send someone to replace them. Cui and Gu Jinxiu are not strong laborers, and the village chief will not If she wants, as long as she has a male, then this matter will have to fall on her biological sons.

 Er'er is a child, and she is very precious. How can we let Er'er and his family go find food?

The Gu family of the second uncle Gu's family was the daughter of a scholar. When she saw the old lady Gu coming to beat someone, she just watched the show with a reserved eye. When she heard this, she panicked and said to the fourth uncle Gu's Zheng family: "Four younger brothers and sisters. , let’s go and persuade mother to come back, mother has beaten my eldest brother, and it’s our family that suffers.”

Mrs. Zheng was enjoying herself while watching the play. When she heard this, she and Mrs. Gu hurriedly stepped forward to support Mrs. Gu and persuaded: "Mom, eldest brother and Brother An know they are wrong. Please calm down and don't argue with their juniors." .”

Mrs. Gu felt sorry for her own sons and couldn't let them go find food. She had to suppress her anger and snorted: "For the sake of the family, the old woman won't care about you, but you borrowed the food yourself. Don't expect the old Gu family to return it! Don't think that the old lady will give you rations after you have been hungry for three days. If you dare to borrow food without permission, the rations will be withheld until you return the food yourself."
