Chapter 7: Stunned

The debt collector obediently left two taels of silver for the medicine and ran off with his men.
Gu En was sent to call the doctor.
Gu Shouxin carried Cai Xiaolian and Gu Hui carried Gu Nian into the house.
“Father, Mother and Sister will be fine, right?” Gu Xin asked timidly after Gu Shouxin gave the mother and daughter a simple check-up.
“It’s alright. I can see that they are just superficial wounds. However, we won’t know the details until the doctor comes over to take a look.”
Gu Shouxin looked at the pitiful little girl and tried his best to soften his voice.
“Hiss!”
Gu Shouren hugged his arms and shivered. His expression was extremely exaggerated.
“Father, what are you doing?”
Gu Hui looked at her father in confusion.
“My daughter! Do you feel goosebumps all over your body?” Gu Shouren asked.
“No! Father, are you cold?” Gu Xin asked with concern.
Gu Shouren shivered exaggeratedly and said, “How could I be cold! Your father’s body is so good, how could I be cold? I was scared by your Second Uncle! Listen, your Second Uncle speaks like the sour scholar in the village! I’m afraid your Second Uncle is possessed!”
In his life, he hated greeting scholars the most. It was nothing good or anything like that. His head hurt just listening to it.
“Father, I heard that Second Uncle used to study. He’s pretty good. It’s not a problem for him to talk like that outside!”
Gu Hui didn’t find it strange.
She had heard from her grandfather that if it weren’t for something happening to her second uncle, the first scholar in their white horse village wouldn’t have had the chance to talk to that idiot, Bookworm Xie.
The father and daughter spoke loudly, and Gu Shouxin and Gu Xin could hear everything clearly in the room.
Gu Xin looked at Gu Shouxin in a daze. She did not even know that her father had studied.
But Gu Shouxin told himself in his heart to get used to the way the original owner spoke and not be too weird, or else he would be in trouble.
It was not that he was afraid that he would be in trouble, but it would not be good if his wife and daughter were outside because she would be gossiped about.
As a nine thousand years old man who had the power to rule the world, his only regret in his life was that he did not have a wife and child. Now that he had a wife and child out of nowhere, he did not want to go back to the past at all. He only wanted to live the rest of his life well.
Not long after, the village doctor came. After checking the mother and daughter, he indicated that there was no big problem with them. It was just a superficial wound. Apply some medicine and pay careful attention to the wound. It would not take long before they woke up.
He gave them the external ointment, not even the herbs for internal consumption.
After the doctor left… Fourth Brother Gu pulled Gu Shouxin to the side. “Second Brother, why is it three hundred taels? What are you doing? If Mother finds out, she will beat you to death. Father and I don’t even have three hundred taels. Eldest Brother doesn’t even have money. What should we do with the money?”
“How about, Second Brother, you take your sister-in-law and your child to hide for a while? Forget it if they can’t find you. Find our father to pay for them. Otherwise, if Mother doesn’t beat you to death, the gambling house will beat you to death.”
First Brother Gu joined in the topic of brothers.
“Thank you, Big Brother and Fourth Brother. However, I won’t ask Father for this silver, and I won’t hide. I’ll go earn it myself. Don’t worry about my methods. You go back and tell Father and Mother to rest assured.” Gu Shouxin sincerely thanked them. Seeing that the two of them wanted to persuade him, Gu Shouxin beat them to it and said, “We’re all brothers. What I said before was all nonsense. Regarding the gambling matter, I ask you to trust me for the last time. This kind of situation will never happen again, okay?”
