"Second Brother can still speak so boldly. It seems like he's not hurt that badly." Gu Qingzi said in a cold tone, her expression turning serious. Gu Wei was stunned for a moment, he had not expected Gu Qingzi to dare to speak to him in such a manner, not waiting for him to react.

Gu Qingzi bowed to the few people who carried Gu Wei back, "Thank you brothers for bringing my brother back. It's not convenient to stay for the next few days, so I won't keep you guys for dinner."

"Gu Qingzi!" Gu Wei looked at Gu Qingzi with a darkened face. Who knew that Gu Qingzi only glanced at him once before instructing Lian Qingmei, "You still need to rest on the bed for two more days. After two days, you can get out of the bed and exercise." If you get out of bed late, you might be afraid of pain, but there will be blood to tie you up. If you stay here, you'll only be able to suffer for the rest of your life.

Lian Qingmei's face turned pale. She knew the wound on her stomach. With a pale face, she nodded. "I know, but …" This is your big brother after all. " Lian Qingmei looked at Gu Wei, who was lying on the bed with wounds all over his body. Her heart ached and tears fell from her eyes.

"Don't cry!" Gu Qingzi was afraid of crying as she was facing a great enemy. Moreover, this woman had just given birth to a child for only a day, so she couldn't be in such a bad mood.

Gu Wei had gathered some strength. He lifted the pillow on the side and threw it towards Gu Qingzi. Gu Qingzi subconsciously dodged and looked at Gu Wei with a frown.

"What are you doing?" Gu Qingzi was really impatient with Second Brother.

"Go call the doctor for me! "You are just a daughter who will be married off sooner or later, an outsider. What right do you have to criticize me at home? You're just a woman!" Gu Wei was full of confidence but lacked the strength to do so. After roaring at Gu Qingzi, he started coughing violently. His face was flushed red, as if he was injured.

However, Gu Qingzi only felt that Gu Wei reaped what he sowed. She then said coldly, "Hehe, Second Brother, but I'm not married yet."

Gu Wei was infuriated. He got up and raised his hand to hit Gu Qingzi. Gu Qingzi wasn't the kind of person who would obediently take a beating. Naturally, she returned the hit and cleaned up Gu Wei.

After a moment, she looked at Gu Wei, who was breathing heavily on the bed. Gu Qingzi was also very tired. Luckily, Gu Wei didn't have any strength left, otherwise, he wouldn't have been beaten so badly by her.

Patting her hands, Gu Qingzi went to cook a bowl of broth for Lian Qingmei before returning to her room.

He turned a corner from Gu Wei's door and walked to the small kitchen. Looking at Madame Gu who was packing the dishes and carrying them to the hall, he said, "Mother, you can't always be like this with Second Brother. Second Brother must have a long memory so that you can feed him later on."

Madame Gu was also someone who understood the situation, so she agreed after a moment of consideration.

The sky turned dark.

Gu Wei lay on the bed groaning. It was already past midnight, why didn't his mother send him dinner? He was so hungry that he shouted, "Where are you!"

Gu Qingzi pushed the door open and came in. "Second Brother didn't sleep in the middle of the night. What are you shouting for?"

"Go to the kitchen and bring me some food." He had not eaten lunch to begin with, yet Lian Qingmei's children had delayed his entry. With the money she had left for him to eat, it was equivalent to him not eating for the entire day. He was hungry to the point of sticking close to his chest.

Gu Qingzi mockingly smirked. "Looks like Second Brother is open-minded and doesn't have a good memory." With that, he left without any intention of bringing him food.

"Gu Qingzi!" Gu Wei really hated Gu Qingzi this time.

Gu Wei only started eating in the middle of the night. Gu Qingzi only kept Gu Wei's memory, so she couldn't really not give him anything to eat.

When the sun rose, the sky turned white. Gu Qingzi had already woken up and started her training. It was just a matter of body strengthening and nothing more. She had learnt a few trivial things.

By the time Gu Qingzi had finished, Madame Gu and her father had woken up as well.

Madame Gu looked at Gu Qingzi in surprise. "Why are you up so early today?"

Gu Qingzi smiled and pretended to be helpless. She raised her hand to support her chin and said, "Recently, there have been a lot of things happening at home. I won't be able to sleep for long."

Father Gu smiled but didn't say anything. He was happy to see the family in such harmony.

As dinner was being served, his father said, "I'm going to the market today to buy some things for my family. Is there anything that Qingzi needs?"

Gu Qingzi stopped eating and slowly put down the bowl. She smiled gently. "No. Second sister has just given birth to a child. Just buy her some good rest. I don't need it."

Madame Gu's eyes suddenly turned red. She held her handkerchief to her face and choked with sobs. She smiled. "Qingzi has grown up."

Gu Qingzi only smiled. "When you grow up, you can't keep making Mom and Dad so worried."

Father Gu's eyes reddened as if he had felt something.

Moments later, her father went to the market, and Madame Gu went to weave cloth. Gu Qingzi went out for a stroll when she had nothing to do, but she always saw people pointing fingers at her.

Gu Qingzi thought that she had revealed an opening and was acting differently from "Gu Qingzi". She walked toward her neighbor's daughter with a frown and asked, "What's wrong?"

"You still don't know?" The woman looked at Gu Qingzi in surprise. "That shouldn't be the case. Didn't Big Brother Gu tell you?"

Gu Wei?

What did he do now?

"Gu Second Brother's gambling den in town has mortgaged your house."

Gu Qingzi's entire body was ice-cold as she hurried home after hearing those words.

Father Gu also rushed home. When he saw Gu Qingzi, who had lost her soul, he already understood a little. He practically ran to his bedroom and found the box under his bed. The hand holding the key trembled as he opened the box.

The sight before him blacked out, and his father nearly fell to the ground.

He had spent half his life saving up for this house, and Madame Gu had also come in with a pale face. Looking at the empty box, she couldn't understand anything, so she sat down on the ground with her legs weak and cried, "What a sin! God damn it! How did you get involved in this gamble! "

Father Gu gripped the box and forced himself to calm down.

Calling everyone into the living room, Gu Dad looked at Gu Wei expressionlessly and threw the box in front of him, "You did it." The tone was one of certainty.

Gu Wei's face was ashen and he couldn't say a word.

How did this end? Gu Qingzi was still in a daze. She swallowed her saliva and quickly hid the silver in her room.

Her heart was still thumping hard, indicating that she was not calm at the moment.

When Lee Chunqiao heard this news, she was laughing so hard that her branches were quivering. This was retribution!

With a smile, he held the handkerchief in his hand and looked at Jia Faang. Everything that Gu Qingzi owned was hers. Gu Qingzi didn't deserve anything!

Her men were all hers as well!

She looked shyly at Jia Faang, her voice so tender that it seemed like she could squeeze water out of it, "Big brother Jia, if the Gu family ran out of money, would Big brother Jia still marry Gu Qingzi?"

Jia Faang hesitated, but didn't give Lee Chunqiao an answer.

"I love big brother Jia."

It was unknown whether Jia Faang was drunk or not. He watched as Lee Chunqiao took off her clothes and asked for Lee Chunqiao.
