Transmigration: Space-Aided Rise to Power and Prosperity-Chapter 242 - 78 Pills

"Take this! If Uncle Li can make it, wouldn’t it benefit the world? But do use it sparingly, just scrape a bit of the medicine powder to study. This pill can still be used to save a life in a critical moment!"

In Gu Chengyu’s space, there were only two bottles left. He had many family members and didn’t dare to give it away like it was ordinary cabbage. He gave it to Doctor Li because Doctor Li had been very kind to him before. Besides, his fourth brother was still apprenticing with him, so it was only right to give him one.

At this moment, Gu Chengyu didn’t know that this pill indeed saved a life, and that person had a thousand threads of connection with him.

Gu Wanhua lay on the bed, slowly opened his eyes. He blinked, feeling his eyelids unusually heavy. His body ached as if it were on fire, even moving a finger felt strenuous.

Having finally opened his eyes, he looked at the unfamiliar ceiling, still feeling a bit bewildered.

"Hua, you’re awake? That’s great!" Uncle Gu had been staying by Gu Wanhua’s side, and seeing him awaken, finally felt relieved.

Gu Wanhua turned his head, looking at that aged face, and with effort, called out, "Grandpa!"

"Hua, you’re finally awake, I was scared to death! It’s all my fault, I shouldn’t have hit you so hard!" It was almost dark now, and Uncle Gu didn’t dare to go back and tell the family. He just let Ming Mo go back and say they were eating at Mr. Gu’s house tonight.

But the paper couldn’t cover the fire; Gu Wanhua’s mother, Mrs. Zeng, was soon returning from her parents’ house. If she came back and saw her son like this, there would definitely be trouble again!

At this time, Mr. Gu came over with a bowl of medicine, "Brother! Quickly let Hua drink it!"

Now Mr. Gu could no longer discuss that matter. With Gu Wanhua injured like this, it was considered a punishment.

Uncle Gu took the medicine from Mr. Gu, and the two helped Gu Wanhua up, preparing to feed him.

"Hua, don’t do foolish things again in the future. You’re no longer a child, think twice before acting! We’re all family, if you make a mistake, we can forgive you. But if you become an official after the exams and make a mistake, will others forgive you?"

Mr. Gu, seeing Gu Wanhua in such a miserable state, had to say a few comforting words. As for whether Gu Wanhua would listen, he couldn’t do anything about it.

Uncle Gu sighed deeply at these words, "Changqing, it’s Hua’s fault for wronging Wan. He was surely blinded by foolishness! Luckily, Xiao Bao went early, otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable!"

As Uncle Gu spoke, he put the bowl on the table and was about to kneel before Mr. Gu!

At this time, Gu Chengyu came in from the courtyard, immediately stepping forward to support Uncle Gu. Uncle Gu was his father’s elder brother; how could a brother kneel to his sibling? Wouldn’t this cut his father’s life short?

"Uncle! Please don’t, this would indeed shorten my father’s life!" Gu Chengyu helped up Uncle Gu, saying in frustration.

"Yes! Yes! Brother, how can you kneel to me?" Mr. Gu also reacted, rushing forward to help Uncle Gu.

Gu Chengyu understood Uncle Gu’s intention, actually wanting his family not to pursue this matter further. In fact, Gu Chengyu had originally intended to let the matter pass. Gu Wanhua was beaten, and he guessed that there wouldn’t be a next time. But Uncle Gu’s actions made Gu Chengyu a bit uncomfortable.

"Ah! It was my fault. But, Changqing, look at how badly Hua is injured, and that matter..." Mr. Gu also felt that it was a bit excessive to bring it up at this time, but he had done his beating and scolding. What else could he do? In the process, he almost beat Gu Wanhua to death and was already heartbroken!

"Brother! Hua has also learned his lesson. We don’t plan to pursue this matter further, but just don’t speak of it outside." Mr. Gu could only agree helplessly. After all, it was his brother and grandnephew; what else could he do? He couldn’t really break ties with his brother, right?

Gu Wanhua lay in bed, seeing that the matter was over, let out a sigh of relief. He still didn’t know how dangerous it was just now; he only felt the pain, thinking it was just a flesh wound. However, recalling how Uncle Gu had beaten him, the chill went down his spine. If it happened again, he swore he wouldn’t dare, he’d be too afraid to even think about it.

Mrs. Lv entered the room, looking at Uncle Gu and the others standing by the bed, her face slightly gloomy, unwillingly uttering, "Dinner’s ready!"

Then she called the maid to bring the food into the main room. Today, the main room’s bed had been occupied by Gu Wanhua for the entire day, along with a pill for her Xiao Bao. Needless to say, that pill was surely worth silver; otherwise, how could it have such a good effect? It was indeed a case of losing both the wife and the army. Seeing Uncle Gu not mention it at all made her unhappy.

"Ah!" Uncle Gu’s face also showed some embarrassment. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Gu Wan sat on a stool, eating while occasionally glancing at Gu Wanhua who was lying on the bed. Although she still felt uneasy, seeing his miserable state, she couldn’t say anything. After all, a girl should be softer-hearted.

Uncle Gu sat sheepishly through the meal at the Gu Family, watching the maid clean up the dishes. Then he rubbed his hands, wanting to speak to Mr. Gu but hesitating.

Gu Chengyu watched without asking, surely not knowing how to settle Gu Wanhua. If they carried Gu Wanhua back, people would inevitably ask for reasons. But if they didn’t, living in Mr. Gu’s house wasn’t proper. He couldn’t let Mr. Gu take care of the grandson he himself had beaten, could he?

So, Uncle Gu didn’t know how to start.

Mr. Gu was also thinking about this problem. Staying in the main room wasn’t an option; that was their bed. He couldn’t possibly throw himself out to let him sleep there, could he? Carrying him back, though, was also impossible, as it would expose the matter, implicating his daughter. It was really difficult!

"Changqing, actually, I was thinking, why not let Hua recuperate at your place? I know it’s too much to ask, but this is the best solution. Then we could say that with exams approaching, let Changqing stay with Xiao Bao to study, and not go home. Once he’s healed, he could return."

When Uncle Gu said this, he felt his forehead burn with shame, but he couldn’t think of a better idea.

"Just let him stay at your place, I’ll come every day to bring food and take care of Changqing, so you won’t have to worry. How’s that?" Uncle Gu felt he had lost all face that day.

In the end, Mr. Gu thought over it and had to admit that Uncle Gu’s suggestion was indeed the best! So he agreed to Uncle Gu.

Gu Chengyu left the courtyard, finding Ming Mo still kneeling there. He punished Ming Mo because Ming Mo made the same mistake as he did.

"Do you know what your mistake was?" Gu Chengyu stopped in front of Ming Mo, standing firmly.

Ming Mo was actually confused, not knowing where he went wrong! So he could only shake his head.
