"Alright, alright, mother will go with you to see him now." Mrs. An nodded repeatedly, her heart concerned about her son, unable to focus on anything else.
Hastily, she followed Mrs. Chu out, planning to check on her son Gu Tiezhu’s injuries. Both of them were in a hurry. Gu Ya heard about Mrs. An’s arrival before his young sister-in-law did. As he ca over from the study, he saw his mother and fifth sister-in-law rushing outside together.
"Mother, sister-in-law, what’s going on?" Gu Ya walked over, and as soon as Mrs. An saw him, she exclaid, "Old Third, you’re finally here. Hurry, hurry, go with mother to see your fourth brother. Your fifth sister-in-law said your fourth brother was beaten up and is still unconscious. Oh, it’s a sin. I don’t know who your fourth brother has offended. Those heartless ones actually dared to lay such a heavy hand on him."
Mrs. An kept cursing, and Gu Ya understood that his fourth brother, Gu Tiezhu, was in trouble.
Then he heard Mrs. Chu say, "Third Brother, Fourth Brother was beaten up. Co with us to see him!"
Gu Tiezhu was idle, gambling every day, mingling with those who do not do honest work, and getting beaten up was only a matter of ti. Gu Ya wasn’t very surprised by this; however, since Gu Tiezhu was his fourth brother, upon hearing the news, he decided to go and have a look at the situation.
So, Gu Ya imdiately arranged for a carriage to send Mrs. An and his fifth sister-in-law to see Gu Tiezhu.
Gu Tiezhu was unconscious, and even though the doctor had treated his wounds, he showed no signs of waking up.
Gu Jianghai sat by the side. Although he had no good feelings towards his brother, who did nothing properly and conspired with outsiders to cheat him of his Silver, after all, he was still his fourth brother.
Seeing Gu Tiezhu beaten and unconscious, Gu Jianghai felt uneasy. Staring at Gu Tiezhu in silence, he clenched his fists, wanting to give Gu Tiezhu a good thrashing right now.
He had no idea how many tis he had warned Gu Tiezhu to stop drinking and gambling all day. To find a proper job and raise Xiaoshan and Xiangxiang properly, yet Gu Tiezhu wouldn’t listen. He neglected his own children, leaving everything to their parents. He even went further, drinking and gambling and racking up a huge debt with the gambling house.
Gu Tiezhu’s beating today was because he lacked the money to repay the gambling house’s Silver he owed.
Gu Jianghai despised his fourth brother, Gu Tiezhu, for failing to et expectations.
Gu Ya and the others hurriedly arrived at the clinic in the carriage.
"Tiezhu, my Tiezhu, oh my. Mother’s Tiezhu, mother’s here. Which scoundrel hurt you like this!" Mrs. An, impatient, ran towards the clinic as soon as she got off the carriage.
Hearing Mrs. An’s voice, Gu Jianghai quickly stood up and went out. He saw that besides his mother and wife, his third brother had also co along.
"Old Fifth, Old Fifth, where is your fourth brother? Co on, quickly take mother to see him!" Mrs. An grabbed Gu Jianghai’s hand, eager to see Gu Tiezhu.
At that mont, Gu Tiezhu inside the room suddenly woke up. Hearing Mrs. An’s voice, Gu Tiezhu called out weakly.
"Mother... mother, mother, I’m here..." Gu Tiezhu’s voice was intermittent, sounding very weak.
