C10 Dog and Chicken

When Gu Donglee and Young Mrs. Lin heard the commotion, they rushed out of the kitchen and ran into the yard.

In the yard, his mother Mrs. Lin was squatting on the ground. She used her hand to cover Hu Zi's mouth to stop him from yelling again.

Mrs. Lin's eyes darted to the study room on the west side, as if she was worried that Elder Gu would hear about Elder Gu's return.

Gu Donglee stared at Third Uncle.

For a month I didn't see him. He had lost a lot of weight, and he was skinny, with stubble all over his face. His clothes were also unwashed, and were wrinkled and stained with oil. He was in an extremely sorry state.

He was carrying a basket in his hand. A square piece of cloth was tightly covered up, and it looked like it was bulging. It was obvious that he had put quite a lot of things in there.

Seeing Gu Donglee and his wife, Ol 'Three lowered his head in guilt and kept silent.

It was his fault.

He felt that his studies were too arduous. His father had been a scholar for half his life, and he himself could not even take the Elementary Scholar examination.

Coincidentally, there was a way to solve this problem, and it only cost a few dozen taels of silver. Since he didn't dare to ask for it from his family, he borrowed some money from them. Scholars don't understand the dangers of the world, so how could they know the suffering of printing money? In the past few months, they had accumulated a debt of one hundred silver taels!

When the debt collector came knocking on his door, other than hiding in the temple, he didn't know what else he could do.

When Young Mrs. Lin saw her husband's appearance, she was initially full of reproaches, but at this moment, her heart softened.

She turned her head to wipe her tears and said:

"What are you doing back here? Hurry up and leave. Every day, there will be people knocking on your door to collect your debt. If you block them up, you won't avoid giving them a good beating!"

"Just look at all of you …" It's my fault that I implicated you. "

"It's fine, it's fine. Just relax. After you sell the house and pay your debts, I'll bring you back."

Mrs. Lin had always been biased towards her youngest son. She hadn't seen him for more than a month and had always been thinking about his food and clothing every day.

She put the rice and vegetables she had scraped from Gu Donglee into a basket and told him to take them to the temple.

They were the only ones who loved each other deeply. Gu Donglee did not buy it.

All of these things were things that she had spent all her energy to earn back from Fann House. Why would she let this disappointing Third Uncle off on a cheap basis?

Taking a step forward, Gu Donglee didn't pay any heed to her mother's warning glance. She gave a fake smile and said:

"Third Uncle has already seen it. Thanks to your family, we can still breathe a little. However, if you carry this basket away today, I think it will only take a few days before you starve to death."

Mrs. Lin went up to pinch her, but Gu Donglee dodged far away.

She stood outside Elder Gu's study window. Mrs. Lin couldn't do anything to her, she could only urge him to leave quickly.

Unexpectedly, Old Yuan's face turned red, he stood on the spot without moving, as if he still had something to say:

Mother, my wife, this time I have a matter to discuss with you two — the problem we discussed before actually exists. It was said that the person who set the problem is a hanger-on of the government in the Azure Province. If I can get his recommendation, then I will definitely return for this exam!

Slapping her thigh, Mrs. Lin was extremely happy as she repeatedly said:

"That's a good thing!" Mother will prepare some tools for you to use! "

Even though it was called a gatekeeper, he had only learned from a farmer to move some soil tools.

Ol 'Three hesitated for a while before it slowly squeezed out:

"This is just a small matter... "The main thing is, the main thing is, you still have to pay thirty silver kowtows!"

Gu Donglee Nahan: You actually came to ask for money?

It looked like he had yet to wake up from his stupor and continue dreaming!

Without waiting for Mrs. Lin to respond, Gu Donglee shouted at the top of her lungs:

"Grandpa, grandpa!" Third Uncle is back! He also asked for money from his family, to go to the wharf of the village, to take the first case! "

"Bastard, where is he?!" Today, ask me to beat him to death! "

The old man in the room was enraged!

He picked up an inkstone, pushed open the door, and ran out. When he saw Old Third, without a word, he went up and smashed him in the head.

Ol 'Three was so scared that it went pale and hid behind its mother, Mrs. Lin.

It was a pity that Mrs. Lin was also deeply afraid of Old Gu and didn't dare to protect him anymore, telling him to vent his anger together with her.

"Mother and son shall die together!" I don't know who taught you to come here to take the test and lose your face as a scholar! You deserve to die! "

"Father — Father!" I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again! "

"Spare him! Tell him to leave! Spare him!"

Mrs. Lin, an old girl, was crying so hard that tears were flowing down her cheeks. She held her arms out to protect her youngest son behind her.

Mrs. Gu, who was listening to the activity outside, ran out with Bao Cheng. Seeing the chaotic scene in the yard, she didn't know how to persuade him.

Gu Donglee was afraid that her mother would be at a disadvantage, so she tugged at the corner of her clothes, not allowing her to get involved.

"Third Uncle is so bored that he wants to use money to exchange for his title. It's good if you get this grandpa to beat you up!"
