Reborn as the Blissful Wife in the countryside

Chapter 1278: Convulsions

Brother Cheng was always afraid of being beaten because he was often scolded and beaten by the Old Gu Family when he was young, but he was very happy to hear these words at this moment.

The teacher is still willing to beat him, which proves that the teacher is still willing to continue teaching him, and it is a good thing.

So when Master Ouyang asked him if he ever disagreed, he replied loudly: "The student accepts, please beat me!"

With a look of asking for a beating, he also swiftly knelt down, preparing to receive punishment, causing Master Ouyang to choke, and the rattan in his hand fell fiercely.

Bang bang bang, the beating was severe, ten strikes tore apart the clothes on his back, exposing the bruised skin.

Master Ouyang looked at the wounds on his back and froze... Even Good Brother An didn’t go easy on him.

Brother Cheng gritted his teeth and endured, his face already pale, sweat mixed with tears rolled down, yet he dared not cry out, nor shout in pain, and still had to say: "Teacher...please continue to beat."

Master Ouyang was both angry and amused, never seen anyone so eager to be beaten, but: "You indeed deserve a beating, today’s trouble was entirely caused by you! If it wasn’t for your presumptuous actions, there wouldn’t be any of this mess."

Brother Cheng was scolded by Gu Jin’an; he was not foolish and knew right from wrong. Hearing this, with a choked voice, he said: "The student knows he was wrong, the student apologizes to Third Sister, to Master Ouyang, and especially to my brother."

Because of what he did, his elder brother might be hated by the teacher, thus losing the opportunity to be close to Third Sister. If that happened, his elder brother would regret it for life.

Master Ouyang sneered coldly: "Since you know you were wrong, if given another chance, would you still do such harmful and selfish things?!"

Brother Cheng thought for a moment and still said: "I would."

"You would? You sound quite determined!" Master Ouyang was furious, originally he did not want to beat him again, but upon hearing this, he was so angry that he struck two more times.

Two sharp sounds, Brother Cheng could not hold back and cried out in pain.

Master Ouyang said: "You’re incorrigible, I should beat you to death!"

"The student wasn’t unwilling to change... But rather heard the teacher say, meeting a quandary, better to fight desperately." Brother Cheng’s back was burning with pain, his mind was dizzy, but he still persisted in saying: "The student doesn’t want my elder brother to regret for life, so I did as the teacher taught."

"Bah, not causing your elder brother to regret for life, your actions have angered me greatly, your elder brother will not only regret for life, your family will have no chance to rise for life!" Master Ouyang was so angry that he used the word "Bah," which is often used by village women during arguments.

And these words were not meant to alarm, the Ouyang Family could wipe out the current Gu Family with ease.

And a noble daughter, especially a legitimate daughter from a noble family, had great purpose; since ancient times, many poor boys with no sense tried to court noble daughters, only to end up being killed by noble families.

Brother Cheng was frightened upon hearing this, hastily said: "Teacher, please calm down... If you are truly angry, then continue beating the student to vent."

Continue beating you to vent?

Master Ouyang looked at Brother Cheng’s shaking body, his back already bleeding, and shouted at Gu Jin’an: "Kneel down, you’ll take the remaining eight strikes for him!"

"Yes." Gu Jin’an immediately lifted his robe and knelt down, showing no sign of having just been whipped twenty times.

Master Ouyang was choking with frustration, what a daring boy, relying on his martial arts training to be so arrogant, fine, then I won’t hold back, I’ll beat you hard!

Bang bang bang, Master Ouyang fiercely struck the remaining eight times.

Gu Jin’an frowned, hmm, it felt more painful than before.

After the beating, Master Ouyang was exhausted, slumped in the Taishi Chair panting... All this beating tired him out, why was he the one doing the hitting yet feeling the most exhausted? Was he truly too fat and needed to lose weight?

Ah Song hurriedly assisted Master Ouyang to calm down, poured him a cup of warm tea to help him catch his breath.

After resting for a moment, Master Ouyang finally recovered, said to Gu Jin’an: "Take that troublemaker away, don’t appear in front of me for three days, I do not want to see you during this time."

"Yes." Gu Jin’an obediently responded, led Brother Cheng to kowtow and thank Master Ouyang, but halfway through, Brother Cheng fainted, fell with a thud on the floor.

"Brother Cheng!" Gu Jin’an quickly held Brother Cheng, felt his scorching hot body, knowing he had a high fever, a scared tremor ran over him.

Master Ouyang hurriedly checked on him, seeing Brother Cheng’s pallid face turning faintly blue, hastily said: "Ah Song, go call Doctor Sheng!"

"Yes." Ah Song replied and quickly went to summon Doctor Sheng, who was kept by the Ouyang Family.

The Ouyang Family kept several doctors, and when Ouyang Ming and Ouyang Yu came, they brought a doctor along, who was currently staying at the residence.

Within half a quarter, Ah Song brought Doctor Sheng over.

"Second Old Master." Doctor Sheng bowed to Master Ouyang, before the greeting was completed, Master Ouyang shouted: "Quickly don’t dawdle, hurry over to examine, this child is seizing!"

It filled Master Ouyang with regret, had he known this would happen, he wouldn’t have continued beating Brother Cheng, if truly beaten this child to death, what could he offer as compensation to the Gu Family?

"Doctor Sheng, please save Brother Cheng!" Gu Jin’an’s eyes were red, holding Brother Cheng tightly, restraining his twitching body, holding his jaw so he wouldn’t bite his tongue.

Doctor Sheng hurriedly came over, took a book scroll stuffed in Brother Cheng’s mouth for him to bite, then earnestly began needling him with silver needles from the medicine kit.

After a busy period, Brother Cheng was finally saved.

"I will prescribe a few doses for the young man, with careful nursing over the next few days, he will recover soon." Doctor Sheng said.

Gu Jin’an breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, quickly asked: "Doctor Sheng, why did Brother Cheng have a seizure? He only had this happen when he was very young; since he turned five it had not occurred again, now this condition, will it affect him in the future?"

Brother Cheng almost died in his mother’s womb, and since birth, had suffered greatly; Gu Jin’an most feared this younger brother dying young.

Doctor Sheng said: "This young man was overly frightened, drenched in rain, with injuries, and a high fever, causing the seizure. Children are less resilient than adults, occasional seizures during illness from fright is normal, with proper care, he will gradually heal as he gets older, no need to worry."

That’s what Xiao Yu said as well.

Gu Jin’an, hearing this, relaxed, but staring at the unconscious Brother Cheng, felt deeply guilty... Brother Cheng did all this purely because of him, yet he also hit him.

And this boy didn’t utter a word despite being ill, enduring silently until he fainted.

"Sorry, it’s all my fault as the elder brother." Gu Jin’an held Brother Cheng, choked up saying, quickly suppressed the sadness inside, said to the doctor: "Please, Doctor Sheng, prescribe medicine for Brother Cheng."

"Eh." Doctor Sheng responded, quickly writing a prescription.

Master Ouyang said: "Ah Song, go fetch the medicine."

And said to Gu Jin’an: "Take Brother Cheng to rest in the guest room next door, wait until he wakes up then talk."
