Dressed As a Farm Boy, He Cheated on His Way Out of the Desert.: Chapter 427 We cannot repay kindness with enmity!
Chapter 427 We can’t repay kindness with enmity!
“Oh.” Gong Yu responded reluctantly.
He thought that since he was an older child, he could share things with his sister, but his sister still hid everything from him and never discussed it with him.
In the courtyard of the Li family next door, Doctor Zhang finished his meal early and said to everyone, "You continue to eat while I go to see the two siblings."
After saying that, he left the house. Aunt He walked to the door. When she saw Shui Ling standing by the door with her neck curled up, she stared and scolded in a low voice, "What are you waiting for? Why don't you go back!"
Shui Ling immediately ran away and led Divine Doctor Zhang into the Cui family courtyard.
The brazier under the eaves of the corridor was half-burning, and the medicinal soup was already boiling.
Shui Ling quickly brought the medicine jar into the house and went to find the pottery bowl.
Doctor Zhang took the pulses of both the Gong siblings, and finally nodded and said with a smile, "You two are really tough. It's only been one night and we have already met. Especially the little one. In another month, he will definitely be able to walk around." "
Gong Yunshu quickly saluted and thanked her, but Doctor Zhang stopped her and told her, "Although there is no blood on your body, you are much more seriously injured than your brother. You must take two medicinal soups a day. It will last for at least two months." , otherwise it will affect the life span.”
Gong Yunshu also guessed a little, but when she heard that it would take two months to drink the medicinal soup twice a day, she asked, "Miracle doctor, is the medicinal soup I drink expensive? How much money will it cost in two months?"
Shenji Zhang had already lowered his head to check Gong Yu's leg injury, and responded casually, "Your medicine contains ginseng, which is a bit more expensive. But after two months, a hundred taels of silver will be enough."
Hundred taels of silver? !
Gong Yunshu's expression changed at that time. She thought that a dozen taels of silver would be enough, but she didn't expect it to be so expensive.
They are just strangers to the Li family.
Uncle Li saved the lives of his sister and brother on the street, but now he actually had to spend so much money to treat their illnesses.
This is no longer a simple life-saving grace!
Such a kind and righteous family, doing such good things, yet they...
She clenched the corner of her clothes tightly, and after a long while she said to Shuiling with trembling lips, "Sister Shuiling, please ask the old lady and uncle to come over. I...I have something to say. Someone is threatening us and wants to harm the Li family!"
Shui Ling had just finished pouring the medicinal soup and almost dropped the bowl when he heard these words.
She ran to the next door in a hurry, forgetting to close the door.
But Doctor Zhang only glanced at Gong Yunshu and continued to change Gong Yu's dressing and bandage.
Gong Yunshu struggled to get off the ground and knelt down.
Gong Yu's injured leg had just been bandaged, and he held it on, kneeling next to his sister.
Gong Yunshu patted his younger brother on the shoulder, his eyes red.
Divine Doctor Zhang sighed, thought for a while and said, "Don't worry about why you two came to Broken Gold Beach. Don't waste this good luck. As long as you keep your conscience straight, maybe all the hardships will be over."
Gong Yunshu kowtowed and thanked the old man.
At this moment, the old lady, Li Zhensheng and Li Laoer came over.
Jiayin naturally couldn't miss this opportunity, so he strapped himself on the marquis's back and watched the fun together.
Seeing Gong Yunshu and his brother kneeling on the ground, no one in the Li family helped them up and all sat down. The old lady looked at the two siblings who relied on each other to kneel firmly. She sighed softly and asked, "Tell me, what's going on?"
Gong Yunshu put his arms around his younger brother, hoping that he would have some support so that the pain in his leg would be lessened.
She took a deep breath and said, "Old madam, we siblings are sorry for the Li family. Earlier on the street, we were chased, beaten, scolded, and bumped into my uncle. It was a deliberate design. Someone forced us to do this just for the sake of chaos. Enter Li’s house.”
"Who is forcing you, who is planning it? Please explain clearly." Li Laoer's expression was not good, and no one would be happy if his good intentions were taken advantage of.
Gong Yunshu's eyes flashed, and he endured the indescribable sourness in his heart and spoke carefully.
"My grandma has changed since my parents and grandpa passed away. She dislikes me in every possible way. She beats and scolds me every day. She also takes me to many relatives and friends' homes. She wants to marry me into a high family and support the Gong family. , to restore its former prosperity.
"But others privately said that our family had bad luck, which is why things happened one after another. Therefore, my marriage has never been settled. Grandma said that I was not living up to expectations, and the beatings became more severe every day. I endured it and just wanted to protect her. My brother grew up. But my grandma gradually started to beat and scold him, and I couldn’t protect him even if I wanted to.”
She was choked with sobs and tears kept falling. She wiped them away and continued.
“A month ago, my grandma finally found a way to marry me to an old Hanlin official as his concubine in the sixth house. She said that the Hanlin promised to teach my younger brother how to read, let him take scientific examinations, and make his family famous.
"But not long after, the clan uncle came to the house. I secretly heard him and grandma saying that he wanted me to do something small for a nobleman, that is... to try to get into the Li family, seduce... seduce the uncle, and marry the uncle. Be a real wife.
“Even if it doesn’t work out and I can’t get married, I still have to stay in the Li family, and then listen to their instructions and organize the Li family. After the success, I will give the family a sum of money and send my younger brother to the academy to study.”
“That’s so wicked!” The old lady slapped the edge of the kang angrily. She didn’t know whether she was scolding the Gong family for plotting against the Li family, or scolding the Gong family for giving their young granddaughter to the old man Hanlin to waste!
Li Zhensheng and Li Laoer also frowned tightly, especially Li Laoer, who felt even more complicated.
After all, this was a honey trap aimed at him, and he actually brought this girl back.
Gong Yunshu was afraid that the Li family would misunderstand, so she quickly added, "When my grandma heard about your family's identity, she immediately changed her mind and agreed to Uncle Clan's arrangement. I know that she wanted to take advantage of Uncle Clan in turn, hoping that I would take it seriously... Marrying into the Li family will be more helpful to the family than being a concubine in Hanlin.
"She took the initiative to tell her uncle that she could fake her death, and then asked him to hide her, and then use her life to threaten my brother and me to obey the arrangement. She didn't expect that I would overhear all this. I've had enough of her Beating, scolding and scheming, he also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to escape from home with his younger brother.
"Uncle and the others were afraid that my uncle would be suspicious, so they broke my brother's leg in advance, refused to treat us, and beat us so badly on the street that I really thought my brother and I were going to die. It was my uncle who came to the rescue and took us in to recuperate. I don't want to be an ungrateful white-eyed wolf when I spend money to buy medicine, so I can make it clear.
"Although we have our own reasons, our conscience is not right and we are plotting against the uncle to save his life. Please feel free to beat and scold the old lady and the uncle. We are willing to be punished."
After saying that, she took her younger brother, who was looking astonished, and kowtowed again, lying on the ground.
Neither the old lady nor Li Lao Er spoke, but Li Zhensheng asked, "Has your uncle said who the nobleman who ordered him is?"
"Uncle Clan didn't say anything," Gong Yunshu raised his head and replied, "But I wanted to escape, so I kept an eye on Uncle Clan secretly. He always conspired with a gangster named Liu in the town. That gangster had a brother who opened a casino in Xindu. He is considered a tyrant in our town.
"In the past, when my father was still alive, this gangster approached my father and wanted to take my father to gamble. My grandfather taught him a lesson. So, I remember it very clearly."
A casino in Xindu? !
Li Zhensheng and Li Laoer looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.
The line that someone used to lure Wei Dajun to gamble was actually connected like this!
