The old folks were really very erudite. There were calligraphy masters, language professors, physics professors, and chemistry professors. They had all been sent down together.
And there was one who specialized in analyzing the law.
Gu Yunshuang was very interested in that.
Among them, they enpassed various professions and branches of knowledge. It was even more useful than attending university.
The atmosphere of learning in the Gu family grew intense. Early that morning, everyone had risen and was ready to study when they heard wails rising from the Southern Lake Brigade.
Everyone jumped in fright and hurried over to look.
Only to discover that nothing much had happened. Standing on the hilltop, everyone could see that it seemed to be ing from the direction of the Sun family.
Gu Qingyao’s lips curled. Wow, wow!
What a terrible wailing noise!
Had they discovered that their treasure was gone?
Hahaha!
What good news first thing in the morning! Great!
“It’s ing from the direction of the Sun house! What’s going on? I can see the Southern Lake Brigade members heading over. I think it’s only a minor matter! If it was anything serious, they would certainly call for us. But if it’s nothing serious, why are they wailing like that?”
The Gu family’s status was special and they usually minded their own business. Most of the time, they pretended to be invisible. They only acted when they were needed.
From their vantage point, they could clearly see what was going on in the Southern Lake Brigade. Many people heard the screams and came out to take a look. But although they were all whispering and discussing, no one called for them and there were no sounds of panic.
They could only faintly hear crying ing from the Sun house.
It did not look like a fight or anything dangerous, or they would not be reacting like that.
They soon saw a group of people emerge from the Sun house. The two in the middle seemed to be carrying someone on their backs.
As they approached, they turned out to be the oldest and second sons of the Sun family. They were each carrying the Sun family’s Old Master and Old Madam.
It was Old Madam who had been screaming so shrilly.
They were heading for the Gu house.
Gu Qingyao rolled her eyes. They still dared to look for the Gus. How shameless!
Only when the group reached the doorway of the Gu family courtyard did Gu Qingyao see that the two old people’s faces were drooping and slack. They had clearly had a stroke.
Gu Qingyao felt no pity for such people.
The Sun family asked Gu Chonghua to treat them. The Gu family was in this line, and they certainly would not reject such a serious case. Although they despised the Sun family, they still had to appear to do something.
When he saw Old Master and Old Madam Sun’s situation, Gu Chonghua knew what had happened. The two of them would probably be bedridden in the future.
Sure enough, after examining them, Gu Chonghua said, “They had a severe shock, and suffered from a stroke. Old people must avoid extreme joy and sorrow. In the future, they must have a proper period of recuperation and must not be overexcited again.”
Gu Chonghua spoke to Gu Yunshen and asked him to prepare some herbs.
The resources in a village were limited. He had prepared a little of what he could and if he did not have it, then it was just too bad.
The Sun family were shocked to hear that!
“St-stroke? What does that mean?”
The Sun family’s sons and daughters-in-law could not accept it.
The two older folks had lived well in recent years and had not suffered much. They were healthy and active. They really could not accept that the two of them had suddenly suffered a stroke and were now paralyzed.
Most importantly, the stroke had paralyzed them. Who would take care of them?
The sons and the daughters-in-law backed away as they looked at the two old people who were lying in bed. Their mouths were crooked and they could not stop drooling. They were unable to speak.
