Boss Gu suddenly said, "Yun Xi, how about you pour me some more water?"

The water in the bowl always feels like it has sugar in it. It is sweet and refreshing.

Gu Yunxi did not suspect anything and filled his bowl with tea from the teapot and brought it to his mouth.

Boss Gu struggled to turn over, and this time, he really didn't feel as much pain as before.

Taking the teapot from Gu Yunxi, Boss Gu gulped down half a bowl.

After drinking it, Boss Gu felt something strange again. He had just felt pain all over his body, but now the pain had obviously subsided a lot.

"Yunxi, is there sugar added to this water?" Boss Gu asked hesitantly.

It must be because of the sugar. I have rarely had sugar water in my life, and sugar water is so sweet, so I didn’t feel any pain.

Boss Gu thought so and the more he thought about it, the more it made sense to him. He looked straight at Gu Yunxi.

However, Gu Yunxi only glanced at the remaining half bowl of water and said calmly: "I didn't add sugar, maybe it's the sweetness of the well water."

Hearing Gu Yunxi say this, Boss Gu opened his mouth in surprise and wanted to continue asking.

However, when he met Gu Yunxi's indifferent expression, he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

Yes, now Yun Xi and Yun Le are willing to come back to see him, take care of him, and hire a doctor for him, which is already very good.

He thought too much and had too many expectations. He thought that the relationship with Yun Xi and Yun Le could be eased, so he asked these questions.

"Okay, okay, then there must be something wrong with my taste buds." Boss Gu muttered.

Since sugar wasn't added, then it must be his problem. He has been sick for so long, it is possible that his body has changed.

After all, he has been drinking water from the village well for decades, and has never felt that the water is sweet!

Gu Yunxi secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he didn't continue asking.

"Okay, you can just lie down. I'll bring you food when it's ready. After you finish eating, take a rest and then take the medicine."

According to the old doctor invited from Yang County, Mr. Gu’s illness does not seem to be a terminal illness.

I don't know if the medicine prescribed by the old doctor can really cure Gu Lao Da. Anyway, now that it's like this, let's try it out.

If Boss Gu could save his life, it would be his own good fortune.

If she cannot save him, she, as a daughter, will have fulfilled her filial duty and will not feel guilty about it in the future.

After Gu Yunxi finished speaking, he took a deep look at Boss Gu and took Gu Yunle out again.

The bedding that was changed yesterday was still piled in the yard. Gu Yunxi frowned, took out two wooden barrels, and stuffed all the bedding into them.

"Yunle, let's go to the river and wash these."

They were piled up in the yard, which was unpleasant to look at and emitted a smell from time to time.

Gu Yunxi guessed that since Fang left the old Gu family, the things in Old Gu’s house had never been changed or washed. It had been such a long time, it would be strange if it didn’t smell bad.

Seeing that her sister had given such instructions, Gu Yunle had no choice but to help carry the wooden bucket and walk towards the river.

On the way, I met a few women who had just finished washing clothes and were walking back to the village.

When the ladies saw Gu Yunxi, they smiled and said, "Hey, this must be the girl from the old Gu family, the wife of the scholar master from the Lu family!"

"She is no longer a juren's wife. Juren Lu has passed the imperial examination and is now an official in the capital!"

Some people who were not well-informed thought that Lu Jianchuan was just a juren scholar!

After all, the news that Lu Jianchuan had passed the imperial examination had caused a sensation in the entire Jihu Town, and everyone knew about it.

"Oh my, it's the official's wife?" The woman was terrified, afraid of offending Gu Yunxi. For a moment, she didn't even dare to walk.

Seeing this, Gu Yunxi shook her head helplessly and said with a smile: "Everyone just treat me as a maid from the old Gu family. There is no need to be restrained."

Gu Yunle was also smiling beside him, and when he saw a woman he knew, he enthusiastically called her "Aunt" and "Sister-in-law".

A brave woman saw the two sisters carrying wooden barrels filled with black quilts and asked, "Gu girls, are you going to wash the quilts?"

"Yes, I took it down from my father's room yesterday. Auntie, you know that my grandparents are not at home. My father's room has a stench as soon as you enter the room!"

"Look at this quilt, it's all black. My dad is so sick, and he's still covered with this quilt. It's strange that he can get better. So we sisters quickly changed it and washed it."

When several women heard this, they couldn't help but whisper and talk among themselves.

"Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu are really worthless. Mr. Gu has been ill for so long. I heard that they went to town to seek refuge with Mr. Gu!"

"Yes, yes, I heard from the Yuan family that these days it's her family and the village chief's family that deliver meals. Oh, Boss Gu is really pitiful. How could he have such parents? His wife also ran away..."

"If you ask me, Yun Xi and Yun Le's mother is the best. When their mother married into the family, she took such good care of Boss Gu!"

"That's right. I still have some impression of it."

Hearing everyone say this, Gu Yunxi curled the corners of his mouth. His goal had been achieved, so he didn't stay any longer.

"Aunts, my sister and I will go wash the cups first. We have to go home and cook for my father later. So we'll go ahead."

Gu Yunxi said goodbye to the women with a smile, then continued walking towards the river carrying the wooden barrel.

Behind her, several women were still discussing, even more heatedly than before.

"If you ask me, the Gu family is really a good family. Look at these two sisters, especially Yunxi. They are so polite even though they are wives of officials. Look at them calling us aunt all the time. What a nice girl!"

"Yes, when she was still unmarried, I said that the Yunxi sisters were the most sensible and obedient children. If it weren't for that vicious woman Fang's quick action, I would have arranged a marriage for my nephew from my mother's side."

"I don't know what's wrong with Mrs. Gu. She left such a good granddaughter behind and got close to the family of the second son ...

"Oh, don't mention it. Both Mrs. Gu and Mr. Gu are black-hearted. Their son is in such a bad condition, but they still go to the town to enjoy themselves..."

Several women talked as they walked, and along the way, they discussed the affairs of the Gu family with everyone they met, and belittled Old Mrs. Gu and Old Mr. Gu as if they were worthless.

All of a sudden, everyone in Dongpo Village knew that Grandma Gu and Grandpa Gu had gone to the town to enjoy a good life, regardless of the life or death of their eldest son.

If this wasn't a family affair of the old Gu family, everyone would have wanted to go to the town, capture Old Mrs. Gu and Old Mr. Gu, give them a good scolding, and vent their anger on behalf of Boss Gu!
