Quick Wear: After Saving the Cannon Fodder, I Became a God

Chapter 295: The Cousin of "Fuwa" 23

Hearing this, Gu Ming and Zhao Mei looked at each other, and both could see fear in each other's eyes.

"Hurry! Hurry..." Gu Ming waved his hands faster and faster, as if he couldn't wait to speak.

"We don't want it, take it away, take it all!" Zhao Mei's voice became increasingly sharp and heartbreaking.

When Gu Yong and Li Xiuqin heard this, they expressed shock, loneliness and sadness.

"Forget it, let's go."

"What's wrong with this old couple? Gu Yong came to visit them with good intentions and brought some things, but they wouldn't let him in?"

"That's right. I really don't know what they are thinking. They only have this one son, but they don't even think about easing the relationship. They just think Gu Yong is kind-hearted!"

"Let's go, let's go. No one wants us, so why are we still blocking the door?"

"Everyone, I believe they don't want to be like this. Maybe they feel uncomfortable and don't want to see anyone. Xiuqin and I understand."

"Oh, forget it, let's all leave. The old couple has really suffered today."

After a while, under the persuasion of Gu Yong and the sensible villagers, everyone dispersed.

"Xiuqin, let's go too." Gu Yong had a relaxed smile on his face.

A family of three was walking on the way home. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the shadows of the three people were stretched out slenderly.

"have they gone?"

Zhao Mei lay by the door, listening to the noise outside.

"It seems like he's gone. There's no movement."

"Go out and take a look."

Zhao Mei hesitated for a moment, then mustered up the courage to open the door a little, and looked outside stealthily while crouching down.

Seeing that no one was standing outside, she dared to go out.

When she reached the gate of the yard, she found a few eggs and a small piece of meat on the ground.

"This..." Zhao Mei's expression froze for a moment, and then she subconsciously ran back to the room.

"Old man, there are a few eggs and some pork outside. They must have put them there. What should we do?"

"What? Didn't we tell them not to give it?" A hint of hesitation and entanglement flashed in Gu Ming's eyes.

If they can't even accept this little bit of food, what about the money for filial piety? That's more than two taels of silver!

Why not let Zhao Mei bring it in and try to see if anything will happen.

Anyway, even if he's unlucky, it has nothing to do with him.

He just didn't believe it. How could a little guy like Gu Qian be so powerful?

"Old woman, go and bring that thing in and cook it. It's a good thing we've had a disaster today, so we'd better eat something good to replenish our body." Gu Mingyi said in a commanding tone.

"But... old man, this is something they sent us, you can't take it!"

"Why can't we take it? We are injured because of them, so it's only natural for them to send things over!"

Listening to Gu Ming's evasive remarks, Zhao Mei panicked, "No! We..."

"Stop talking nonsense and go quickly! Fuwa is waiting to eat meat!" Gu Ming was about to slap the table, but when he raised his hand, he found that his palm was covered with scratches.

So he changed direction, picked up the bowl of water and slammed it on the table.

The sound of "bang" gave Zhao Mei a fright.

"Okay... okay." Although Zhao Mei was arrogant towards Li Xiuqin, she never dared to disobey the head of the family, Gu Ming.

So she limped out of the door again, and walked to the gate of the yard step by step like a turtle, and picked up the things on the ground with trembling hands.

She stood up carefully and took one step, two steps forward... After walking a few steps, she didn't notice anything unusual happening, so she felt relieved.

"Old man, it's nothing! Look, there are seven eggs and half a pound of pork belly!"

Gu Ming, who was also worried, was relieved when he saw Zhao Mei come back safely.

Of course, he was not worried about Zhao Mei getting hurt, but he was worried that he would not be able to get the annual filial piety money from Gu Yong in the future.

"I told you it will be alright, why are you still dithering? Go cook, we're all hungry!"

"Okay, okay." Zhao Mei was in high spirits and didn't care what Gu Ming said.

Zhao Mei quickly fried three eggs and then stir-fried some pork belly with oil to make a stew.

Gu Ming, Zhao Mei and Gu Xi were happily sitting at the table eating, as if they had forgotten the unpleasant things that happened today.

Zhao Mei, who hadn't eaten meat for a long time, looked at the pot of greasy stew with a greasy face, "I don't think that little bastard Gu Yong is so poor that he even has the money to buy such good meat!"

"Humph, you can control the heavens and the earth but you can't control your mouth? It's good enough to have something to eat. The meat is ours, why should we care about them?"

"Yes, yes, I'm just complaining." Zhao Mei was about to pick up another piece of meat with her chopsticks when she suddenly felt a sharp pain on her forehead.

"Ouch, it hurts so much!" she said, covering her forehead.

Gu Ming didn't care about her pain at all, and said to himself: "From now on, stay away from them, and don't curse them behind their backs. I think that little girl Gu Qian is very mysterious. As long as they pay the filial piety money on time every year, they will treat each other as strangers in the future."

After waiting for a long time, Gu Ming still didn't get any reply from Zhao Mei. Only then did he start to look at her straight in the eye.

At this time, Zhao Mei's expression was very painful. She covered her forehead with both hands. Through the gaps between her fingers, one could see that the wound on her forehead seemed to be getting redder, and a big bump had formed, with even pus inside.

Looking at Zhao Mei's expression, Gu Ming was very impatient. "Didn't I prescribe medicine? Go and apply the medicine if it hurts!"

"Okay..." Zhao Mei said tremblingly, then stood up tremblingly to find medicine.

Gu Ming said "cut" unhappily, then picked up the chopsticks and continued to pick up the meat.

However, he did not notice that the corner of the table was a little loose. When he leaned slightly against it, the table fell down, and he fell into the pot of steaming stew with it.

"what!"

"boom!"

The whole table fell to the ground, the dishes and bowls on the table all smashed to the ground, and Gu Ming's face was in the pot of stew.

This sudden change caught Gu Ming off guard. He only had time to let out a scream before he fell to the ground along with the table.

In the chaos, the fall of the table triggered a chain reaction, and Gu Xi, who was sitting next to her, was not spared. She fell to the ground with her stool.

"Ah... it hurts, Fuwa, it hurts... wow"

Gu Xi, who had never experienced a fall, suddenly felt a sharp pain and burst into tears. Her cry was so sharp and piercing that it seemed to pierce through the roof.

The entire main hall became a mess in an instant, with clanging sounds ringing incessantly, along with Gu Ming's painful groans and Gu Xi's sharp cries. Not only Zhao Mei in the inner room heard it, but even the surrounding neighbors could hear it clearly.

When Zhao Mei heard the noise, she hastily applied the medicine and quickly walked towards the main hall.

However, when she stepped into the main hall, the scene before her surprised her.

Gu Xi was seen sitting on the ground, crying loudly with tears all over her face, while Gu Ming was trying hard to free himself from the mess.
