In her previous life, Gu Ci thought until the end of her life that when Little Doctor Gu said that her leg could not be saved, it was because the other party's medical skills were not good, so even if she was hit by the enemy's poisonous arrow because of a leg attack on the battlefield, she never complained. who.

It turned out not to be.

As Gu Ci spoke, tears burst out in big drops. She didn't cry, but the tears fell down involuntarily like beads with a broken string.

"Eldest sister..." Gu's second child was stunned in place. For 17 years, the eldest sister who has become sensible has never shed tears in his memory. It would be a lie to say that he was not shocked. Through the dim oil lamp, those shining tears Gu Lao Er seemed to see the strong and gentle little Li again, his words paled in an instant, and when he reached Gu Ci's cold eyes with his outstretched hand, he withdrew it again, "It's my father's fault." of."

"Of course it's your fault." Gu Ci wiped away his tears and sneered, "There's no need to discuss it, Abao will follow me from now on, and all the land and house money in the family will be divided into [-]% and Abao's [-]%. You don't have to. Promise, then don't blame me for not thinking of family affection, and I will deal with Bo in court then."

"Eldest sister..."

"Don't worry about me. In your eyes, I won't be able to get married anyway. What do you want those reputations for? And Ah Bao is only trying to get rid of his stepmother's abuse. How can there be such a bad reputation?" Gu Ci wiped away The last gleam of water in the corner of her eyes, the tears she shed just now were used as a memorial to the stupidity she committed in her previous life, "I backed down every time before, thinking that it would be a father-daughter relationship, and I didn't want to kill them all, but now it seems that it is you, Gu Laoer ungrateful."

Gu's second son's words were all blocked, he looked at Gu Ci dejectedly, trying to see something from her face, but Gu Ci's expression was too serious, he couldn't see a trace of anger.

The Dajin law stipulates that although bereaved women are allowed to remarry, but out of the protection of bereaved mothers and children, there are express regulations on this. Stepmothers are not allowed to abuse and beat children who were not born by themselves. If not, The government will send the woman to the frontier fortress, and the husband's family who ignores it will also be fined 50 taels of silver.

As for the oil bottle brought by widowed women, the law does not stipulate it, because widows remarry, and they rarely remarry with their previous children.

In other words, it is the Liu family's responsibility to discipline Gu Ci and A Bao, but to beat and scold the siblings has to weigh their identities.As for Gu Lao Er, he has no responsibility to discipline Ma Lingling, and he is free to beat and scold Ma Lingling as he pleases.Back then, when Gu's second child was going to marry the widow Liu Shi, Li was explaining these laws to him and Liu Shi in the ancestral hall of the Gu family.

However, family ugliness should not be publicized. Moreover, there are very few remarried women who dared to go so far as Liu's blatantly. There has never been such a thing in the Gu family village for generations.

Gu Lao Er faintly felt that Gu Ci's words were not trying to bluff him, but that he could really say what he said.For him, no matter whether it is distribution of the Liu family or a fine of money, these are all major matters. In addition, this trouble with the government will not only damage his reputation, but also the reputation of the entire Gu family village. This family can't hold their heads up, and at worst, the patriarch and village head will drive them out of Gu's village as an example to others.

Either way, he couldn't bear the consequences.

Wanting to understand this level, Gu Laoer was faintly afraid, and the little bit of guilt towards Gu Ci was replaced by anxiety and anger, but at this moment, he didn't dare to say anything cruel, so he had to lower his posture, "Elder sister , Dad was a bit of a jerk before, but..."

"I'll just ask you a question." Gu Ci looked up at him, "My leg can be healed, why didn't little Doctor Gu tell me the truth? Don't use what he said to prevaricate me, no one in the village knows now, except Mr. Gu, you, Mr. Gu, have the richest family?"

Gu's second son didn't expect Gu Ci to ask such a harsh question, but facing the elder daughter's falcon-like eyes, he could only go all out and sell the Liu family. Anyway, in Gu Ci's mind, the Liu family has long been a vicious stepmother. "It's your queen... Mrs. Liu, I think it's too expensive, so I asked Dr. Gu to..."

Gu Ci was not surprised by this, she lowered her eyes, and noticed A Bao who was standing at the door at some time but had been silent all the time, she smiled, "A Bao, it's late, send your father off, we have to About to sleep."

"Eldest sister..."

"Father, let's go." A Bao grabbed the hem of his father's clothes and dragged them out with a cold face.He is young, but the child of the poor has long been in charge of the family. He is sensible, and he understands what he just said.

"A Bao, Dad..."

Ah Bao didn't let go, still dragging his clothes out.

It's autumn, and the night wind outside blows cold for a while, Gu Er Er was blown by the wind and shivered, but Ah Bao didn't seem to feel it, he let go of Gu Lao Er's clothes, looked up at him, and Looking at the crescent moon that is getting fuller and fuller, she said softly, "If possible, I would rather be like sister Jiaojiao, where I can only depend on my sister for life."

These words are too heartbreaking. In other words, his son is cursing him to death. Gu Laoer raised his slap, but he couldn't slap it down. Abao looked at him, "No matter what sister wants to do, I will Stand by my sister."

After speaking, he went into the house without looking back.

Tired and hungry, Gu Lao Er's head was dizzy from the stimulation, and when his body went limp, he slumped to the ground.

The reason why he brought the old Doctor Gu on this trip was because of guilt, but it was more for A Bao's sake.With such an incident today, he is not at ease with Liu's mother and daughter. In his mind, A Bao is not as important as a fat man, but he is also the son who inherits the incense, so he naturally values ​​it.

He felt at ease when he handed A Bao over to Gu Ci, but just as Gu Ci worried, he didn't want to just separate A Bao out like this. He wants to divide the family property, he is still young, and he doesn't want to divide the family property into two, so he wants to use this pretext to heal Gu Ci's leg injury to get closer to Gu Ci, the eldest sister is a If he is capable, he will think about it every year, pay some food and money, and let Gu Ci take care of A Bao first, thinking that this will not only allow the eldest sister to take care of A Bao, but also make Gu Ci owe him a favor.

He had a good plan, but he didn't expect to end up stealing the chicken and losing the rice.

Early the next morning, the three people in the broken thatched hut woke up naturally after sleeping, and Mrs. Liu did not dry the millet here. The broken thatched hut was very quiet, and the three siblings cooked together and did housework together. After the meal, the two young ones went outside to collect some firewood, and Ah Bao took Jiaojiao to the hill behind to pick a lot of wild vegetables.

At noon, Old Doctor Gu and Young Doctor Gu came over in person again, and not only brought some commonly used medicinal materials, but also brought two pork ribs.

"Uncle Gu, what are you doing?" The two little ones were tired in the morning, full and sleepy, and were sleeping. Gu Ci didn't feel sleepy, so he limped in the yard drying his old winter clothes. As soon as she came, she noticed it and rushed to meet him.

Although Old Doctor Gu is not of high seniority, he is quite prestigious in the village, especially Old Doctor Gu is good at medicine, honest and kind.

"I was too anxious last night, and I was busy grabbing the crops in the field with God in the morning, so I had to take advantage of this time to confess my mistake to my eldest sister." The anger is distorted, but now that the autumn harvest is heavy and the farm work is heavy, he didn't dare to beat this unworthy young son, lest he would be like Gu's second family, and today there is only one person working hard in the field.

"Uncle Gu, you're being polite." Gu Ci is not a good speaker, and after saying a few words dryly, he didn't know what to say, so he had to invite people into the room, "Uncle Gu and Third Brother Gu went back to the room." Sit down and have a cup of tea."

"No, no, no." Lao Gu waved his hand, and passed the things in his hand, "You take these things."

"Where can I get this?"

Lao Gu pushed the things over, "Sister, the conditions in Uncle Gu's house are like this, good things can't be afforded, but there are a lot of worthless herbs, this God will change at will, you bring two little ones, When the weather changes, we will cook more medicine for the two children."

As he said that, Lao Gu sighed again, "Your father still has a conscience, so he gave me another 50 taels. Today, I asked the third child to go to Jishantang to get you two tubes of bone paste. I wrote it according to your leg injury. Fangzi, I got the medicine at Jishantang and prescribed it. You can drink it first, and you don’t have to worry about it. Uncle Gu can still trust his medical skills. If you don’t worry, after the autumn harvest, I’ll let the third I will personally take you to Jishan Hall to have a look."

"Uncle Gu is so polite, I don't know what to say." Gu Ci really didn't know what to say. After taking the things, his dissatisfaction with Little Doctor Gu faded away, and he smiled at him, "Brother Gu, you've worked hard. Help me run this trip early in the morning."

After listening to his father's lecture, Xiao Gu was already ashamed and ashamed, and he didn't have the nerve to see Gu Ci, "Big sister, you're being polite, I'm the one who hurt you."

"The money is leftover, big sister, you should collect it first." Lao Gu took out a bank note and broken silver from his chest, "There is a little more than 18 taels left, and the big head will exchange it for you. That's it, little head, put it away. We have to go to the field in the afternoon, so we won't keep any more, just apply the bone paste to the wound once in the morning and evening, and drink the internal medicine in the morning, noon, and evening."

"Thank you, Uncle Gu." Gu Ci nodded, and didn't keep them there. She watched the two of them leave the courtyard, and she carried the things into the house.

Knowing that the autumn harvest was busy, Gu Ci was not in a hurry to settle accounts with Gu Laoer. Judging from the three small quarrels in the next day and the three big quarrels in the next day, she felt that she didn't need her to add more fire, and the life of the family of four would be passed. It was like being in a fire, she happily closed the door and lived her own life.

Jiaojiao and Abao stayed together, and they became more lively. Both of them were sensible, and they didn't play around. They either went out to collect firewood or went to the hills to pick some wild vegetables and wild fruits.

Gu Dashan, a hunter in the village, does not have any fertile land, and the crops are not harvested well, so he simply built a hilltop to plant orange trees. This season, the oranges are all yellow and orange hanging on the hillside. Yes, and knowing about Gu Ci's situation, he discussed with Gu Ci and asked the two younger ones to help him pick oranges, pack two lunches, and pick ten catties for one catty.

"Go, go, I'll go!" Gu Ci just started, but he didn't finish his sentence, Jiaojiao stopped eating, put down his chopsticks and raised his hand, but looking at Abao beside him, he was still eating obediently, The little girl looked awkward, and picked up the chopsticks again, "I... I don't want to go that much either."

Gu Ci glanced at her, "Since you don't really want to go, then don't go, Ah Bao, what about you?"

"Sister, I want to go." Ah Bao swallowed the corn rice in his mouth, still a little shy, "If my sister won't let me go, I won't go either."

Abao grew up in the mountains since he was a child, and he is not very keen on picking oranges. He wants to go because he wants to lighten his sister's burden. How nice it would be to eat less of my sister's food and earn oranges to eat.

Jiaojiao pricked up her ears to listen to Gu Ci and A Bao's talk, and she didn't feel like eating, so she poked her rice bowl there. Hearing what A Bao said, she was afraid that Gu Ci would really not let them go, "Sister, why don't you buy oranges?" I want money."

Gu Ci looked at her little figure trying to hold back, couldn't help laughing, and poked her dimple with the thick end of the chopsticks. The little girl got a little fatter, and she realized that when the little girl smiled or curled her lips, there were two little pear dimples. eddy.

"In that case." Gu Ci put on a show, looked at the two pairs of sparkling eyes, and couldn't bear to tease them again, "Then go! But! Pay attention to safety, don't show off, if I find out that you two don't love yourself Hell, I'll beat you back."

What Gu Ci said was fierce, the two younger ones didn't take it to heart at all, and early the next morning they each took two steamed buns with thick noodles and went to Gu Dashan's Orange Mountain.

Gu Dashan didn't expect them to pick much, the tall trees didn't allow them to climb, and let them rest under the tree when they were tired or thirsty, and they could eat the oranges as they pleased.

Jiaojiao thought that picking oranges was fun, but when she did pick them, she found that she was not as good as Abao. When she was bulging, he knew what she was thinking, and would sneak a few for her from time to time, and when he saw the little girl was sweating, he would sit down and eat oranges.

The little girl was a delicate one, so she followed his example. After three days like this, the two people who ate oranges every day had sore teeth that they could only drink porridge.

Gu Ci looked at the miserable appearance of the two grinning their teeth, annoyed and amused, "I told you a long time ago, now I know how powerful it is."

"Oranges are obviously not sour." Ah Bao still doesn't understand this truth, he only knows that oranges are sweet, why did his teeth become sour after eating.

Gu Ci patted his head, "It's too late." Looking at the miserable little girl covering her mouth, she walked over and poked her face. After applying the medicine, her leg healed better and better , now I don’t need to support things to walk, but it’s still a bit unnatural, "Not only that, but if you eat too many oranges, your face will turn yellow, look how hard it is to get whiter."

The little girl was Aimi's age, she was startled when she heard this, touched her face, and said bitterly: "Then, then I won't eat oranges."

"Are you still going to pick it?"

Jiaojiao and Abao looked at each other, "Go. We promised Uncle Dashan to help him pick the oranges."

Gu Ci nodded his chin, "Don't eat oranges, bring a pot of water up the mountain."

After learning this lesson, neither of them dared to eat oranges anymore, and continued to help pick oranges diligently.

As the sun became lighter and lighter, the sky that had been clear for more than half a month turned gloomy again. Fortunately, the autumn harvest was coming to an end, and Gu Dashan's family had almost picked oranges.

On this day, when Jiaojiao and Abao went there, they excitedly said that after picking today, they would be able to bring back a lot of oranges.

As a result, less than an hour after going out, Ah Bao came back panting, "Sister, sister..."

Seeing A Bao's expression, Gu Ci had a bad feeling, and You Qi didn't see Jiao Jiao behind him, so he became anxious, "A Bao, speak slowly, what's wrong?"

"Jiaojiao, sister, she, she... is bleeding..."
