Chapter 10
Gu Xiaobei glanced at Bai Qingli, who was engrossed in listening, and continued: "After he figured it out, the man knew that he had a woman outside, and his wife saw it. She didn't expose it, but expressed her in this way. The man felt guilty and did not dare to blame his wife, but his heart felt cold. If it was poison, he would have died several times. He thought that if it was not poison, he might not be more frightened the more he thought about it. The man broke off with the women outside and only wanted to please his wife, so, don't mess with anyone and don't mess with the person who cooks for you!"

"Did you make up this story yourself? I didn't expect you to like making up stories, but your story is so poorly made that it doesn't make any sense." Bai Qingli frowned and looked at her with a smile.

"Oh? How should I say it?" Gu Xiaobei wasn't angry anymore, he squatted next to the small fire stove and asked while watching the fire.

"A man can have three wives and four concubines. This man will definitely not secretly raise a woman outside. Since he likes it so much, he will definitely take that woman as a concubine, and the following things will not happen. Take a step back and say He really raises women outside, and his wife doesn't dare to put cockroaches in his bowl, because in this way, a man can divorce her as soon as the "jealousy" in "Seven Outs" comes out, so ah, your story is not well-made How about it!" Bai Qingli threw out his opinion eloquently.

Three wives and four concubines, seven divorced wives, this ancient evil system of inequality!Gu Xiaobei complained bitterly about the ancient feudal system in his heart, but still smiled on his face: "In the future, your wife should be very pitiful! Believe it or not, this story is true."

This story was told by a male colleague of Gu Xiaobei in the 21st century when he was drunk. Gu Xiaobei only knew about this story, so there is nothing wrong with Gu Xiaobei saying this story, but Gu Xiaobei The story is told from the perspective of a person in the 21st century, but Bai Qingli analyzes the story from the perspective of an ancient person. Different perspectives lead to different understandings.

"So you wanted to marry me a long time ago!" Bai Qingli suddenly realized.

"The devil wants to marry you!" Gu Xiaobei was angry.

"Don't deny it, if you're not my wife, how do you know that my future wife will be very pitiful?" Bai Qingli said with a smile.

"You have to misinterpret my meaning? Besides, who cares about marrying you?!" Gu Xiaobei was angry again.

"If you don't want to marry me, then who do you want to marry?" Bai Qingli's handsome eyes narrowed slightly, with a hint of coldness in his eyes, and a dangerous aura exuded from his whole body.

"I don't want to marry..." Gu Xiaobei took it subconsciously, and finally came to his senses after talking halfway, and raised his head fiercely to stare at Bai Qingli: "Who I don't want to marry has nothing to do with you!"

"Is it irrelevant?"

"Of course it doesn't matter!"

The two fell silent suddenly, and looked at each other in an unusually quiet manner, even the surrounding air seemed to freeze.

"Xiao Bei, is the medicine ready? Brother is awake, bring him some medicine!" At this moment, Gu Erye's voice suddenly came from outside.

The rough voice immediately broke the silence between the two.

"It's fried, I'll bring it over right away!" Gu Xiaobei was very happy to hear that his elder brother woke up, and he stopped lighting the lamp with Bai Qingli. He poured the medicine into the bowl with the handle, then wrapped the bowl with a thick cloth and took it out, without even looking at Bai Qingli during the whole process.

It took a long time for Bai Qingli to turn around and leave the kitchen, and walked directly out of the Gu family's yard towards his own house.

As soon as he entered the door, he ran into his 13-year-old sister Bai Qiaoer.

"Brother, father refuses to eat again, what should I do?" Bai Qiaoer looked at Bai Qingli timidly, her eyes were red and swollen, obviously she had cried.

"Are you disgusted that it's not delicious?" Bai Qingli looked at his father's room and said coldly.

"It's all my fault that I'm useless and can't cook delicious meals." Bai Qiaoer burst into tears immediately, feeling wronged and sad.

"It's not your fault, it's the old man who went too far! Be good, don't cry, go to the kitchen and boil hot water for me." Bai Qingli sighed, patted Bai Qiaoer's head and comforted her softly.

"But, father." Bai Qiaoer still glanced at her father's room worriedly.

"Qiao'er, you don't listen to brother?" Bai Qingli smiled slightly, and raised the end of the voice slightly.

"I'll go now." Bai Qiaoer panicked, not daring to delay any longer, and quickly walked towards the kitchen.

It wasn't until Bai Qiaoer disappeared at the kitchen door that Bai Qingli walked slowly to the westmost room of a row of main houses, opened the door and walked in.

The white-haired man sitting in a wheelchair in front of the window looked out the window in a daze, and did not turn his head to look at the sound.

"Qiaoer cooks so seriously, why should father hurt her so much?" Bai Qingli said flatly.

Seeing that the people in front of the window were unmoved, Bai Qingli's face became more chilly, and he said coldly: "Since father doesn't want to eat, don't eat tonight, I have already found someone who can cook, She'll be here tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and left without waiting for the person in front of the window to answer.

"You are not allowed to buy anyone!" Bai Qingli had just turned around when the person who had been silent all this time suddenly spoke.

Bai Qingli's footsteps paused and continued to walk out, only his cold voice floated in the air, "Do you think everyone is happy to be your servant?"

"Second brother, here." When Gu Xiaobei arrived at the door with the medicine, she saw Gu Erye going out to find her. She hurriedly stopped him, handed him the purse in her hand, and whispered, "I borrowed this." Ten taels of silver, after a while you send your master back and give us all the money we should give, and then go to the pharmacy in the county to buy back the medicines of the two brothers."

"Who did you borrow the money from?" Gu Erye opened the purse in surprise and saw that it was full of money.

"I'll tell you about this later, I'll give the elder brother the medicine first." Gu Xiaobei raised the medicine in his hand.

"Oh, go quickly." Gu Erye also knew that Gu Datian had to take the medicine as soon as possible, and he didn't dare to let her delay any longer, so he followed her in and asked the old doctor who had finished his treatment to leave.

"Brother, you finally woke up!" After entering the room, Gu Xiaobei quickly came to the bedside and looked at Gu Datian who had woken up, weeping with joy.

"Xiao Bei, don't cry, don't you think my brother is doing well now?" Gu Datian weakly raised his hand to wipe Gu Xiaobei's tears, and said distressedly.

"Yeah, the elder brother was fine at first, but now when you cry, he will be so distressed." Gu Sanlin also couldn't bear to let the sister feel sad, so he immediately comforted her.

"Bah, crow's mouth! Don't say this word again, bad luck!" Gu Xiaobei gave Gu Sanlin an annoyed look.

Gu Erye Sanlin immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing, and slapped himself angrily: "Bah! Crow's mouth, it doesn't work!"

Gu Xiaobei rolled his eyes at him, picked up the medicine bowl brought in from the table, smiled and said to Gu Datian, "Brother, it's time to drink the medicine."
