Chapter 413: Jealous Father Gu: Have Your Wings Become Full-Fledged Now That You’re Engaged?
Mo Beihan fed her too well. During this period of time, she had been in an amazing mood as came forth with Mo Beihan and even took Jiang Yiru as her master. As her heart widened… so did her body!
Gu Qingyao lowered her head. “Is it that obvious? I only put on three catties.”
She must not become fat!
She had never been chubby in her previous life. How great it is to be slim and slender!
If she became chubby, she would not be able to wear plenty of gorgeous outfits in the future. Just the thought of this made her aggrieved!
Gu Yunshen rubbed her head. “It’s good to put on some weight. Looks like you had a pretty good time at your third uncle’s place. I’ll give your third brother more money in his red packet when he comes back during the new year.”
Gu Qingyao’s brow arched up. “Father, did you hit the jackpot?”
Gu Yunshen had a mysterious front as he replied, “What do you mean I hit the jackpot? Have I ever been poor?”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
After the conversation, Gu Qingyao got on to Gu Yunshen’s ox cart and they rode away from the crowd. When there were fewer people in the surroundings, Gu Qingyao finally inched toward her father and asked, “Father, were there two elderlies who were sent to our area today? There are one male and one female and they’re injured. Were they sent to the cowshed too?”
Gu Yunshen paused before moving closer to Gu Qingyao to whisper to her, “How do you know? There’s indeed two of them. They came yesterday night and were covered in injuries. When they arrived, they were too cold to even speak and were unconscious for an entire night. Your grandfather and I went to treat them for a long time before they finally regained consciousness this morning.”
Gu Qingyao was alarmed. “They’re awake now? That’s good. Is it serious? Are they all right?”
Gu Yunshen shook his head. “It’s nothing serious as it’s all external injuries and fortunately, their internal organs and bones were not injured. But it is not so simple. After all, they’re old already and are unable to go through such suffering. I reckon it will take a very long time for them to recover from this beating.
“You know it as well. The current conditions do not allow them to recuperate properly. It’s definite that their vitality is affected.”
Gu Qingyao had a rough idea of the situation now.
If she took attentive care of them and provided them with nourishment, their health should not be too bad in the future.
Old Master Qin had always been in good health as after all, they studied medicine too and knew how to take care of their health. Only Teacher Jiang Yiru was in rather poor health as she had been infected by the poison for too long and needed to be carefully restored to health.
“Father, hurry home. Quickly!”
Gu Yunshen asked perplexedly, “Why? Do you know them?”
Gu Qingyao nodded. “Mhm! I do! They’re my teachers! That old lady is Jiang Yiru, the successor of Jiangnan Medical Family, and she is my teacher now! They were in the provincial capital previously and when they were in trouble, it was Brother Beihan, Third Uncle and Ji Family who worked together to bring them to the Qing River Brigade.”
Gu Yunshen froze momentarily. He did not think that this would be the case.
“Why didn’t you say earlier?”
Gu Qingyao was helpless. “How am I going to? I don’t dare to say such things even if it’s by letter or telegram!”
Gu Yunshen: “…”
Gu Yunshen sped up the ox cart and rushed home quickly. He said as he rode the ox cart, “You got yourself a teacher outside? Don’t you know to tell your father, me, about it?”
Gu Qingyao replied, “… I… uh… couldn’t tell you in time, could I?”
Gu Yunshen snorted. “You’re grown up and engaged so your wings have become full-fledged, right?”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
She did not respond. Sitting beside Gu Yunshen, she lowered her head and sneaked a glance at her father who was jealous and acting cold…
Hehe…
Gu Qingyao was filled with laughter.
