Chapter 238 The Big Girl

Because she was their biological sister, Gu Nian and Zhang Cuihua didn't think much about it and asked their daughter to pack two pieces of clothes and follow Gu Xiang.

The big girl happily followed her aunt to the Guo family.

Because the Guo family had split up, Gu Xiang and her family were only given one house, so there was no place for the eldest girl to live when she came.

Gu Xiang could only place a bamboo bed for the girl in the main room.

"Big girl, you just live here. I'm going out for a while. Please help me look after Zhaodi." Gu Xiang wanted to go to the man's house to discuss marriage as soon as possible.

You know, Guo Erlang borrowed money from a loan shark, and who knows how much three taels of silver will become in two days.

"Okay, you go ahead, aunt. I will take good care of Zhaodi." Da Niu was used to taking care of her younger brothers and sisters, and she had no objection to her aunt asking her to take care of her little cousin.

Gu Xiang had nothing to worry about, so she told Zhaodi to listen to her cousin and hurried out.

The family that Guo Xiang found for Da Niuer was surnamed Lin, and they lived only two blocks away from Gu Xiang and the others.

It only took Gu Xiang five minutes to reach the Lin family.

"Sister Lin, Sister Lin, are you at home?" Gu Xiang shouted before she even entered the door.

"Yes, at home. Sister Gu is here, come in and sit down. Xiaolu, quickly pour some water for your Aunt Gu." Mrs. Lin came out to greet them with a smile.

"Hey, Mrs. Lin, you're welcome. I'm here to tell you that my niece is here." Gu Xiang said as she sat down.

"Are they really here? So soon?" Mrs. Lin asked in surprise.

"Auntie, is my wife really here? When can I go see her?" Xiaolu asked excitedly as she came in with a glass of water.

"It's too late today, let's do it tomorrow. But Xiaolu, you have to dress up nicely. I didn't tell my niece that you have a problem with your legs. I'll bring my niece over tomorrow. Xiaolu, you just sit on the chair and don't walk back and forth.

"Also, we have a deal. You will give me ten taels of silver when my niece marries me. You can't go back on your word," said Gu Xiang.

"No regrets, no regrets. Don't worry, auntie. I will definitely sit on the chair tomorrow and not go anywhere." Xiaolu promised.

Mrs. Lin also said, "Don't worry, Sister Gu. As long as your niece marries you, you will get every penny."

"That's fine. You guys just wait for me at home tomorrow. It's nothing. I'll go back first." Gu Xiang finished what she had to say and stood up to leave.

"Hey, Sister Gu, don't worry. Just bring your niece over tomorrow. I'll make sure everything is prepared." After saying this, Mrs. Lin turned around and instructed Xiaolu, "Hurry up, son, bring two snacks from my room to your Aunt Gu."

"No need, Mrs. Lin, you guys keep it for yourself." Gu Xiang quickly declined.

"It's not for you, it's for my niece. Take it quickly."

It’s getting late, so I won’t keep you any longer. I’ll make you something delicious tomorrow, and we’ll have lunch at home.” Mrs. Lin stuffed the snacks into Gu Xiang’s hand.

"Oh, how can I feel so embarrassed? Okay, I'll thank his aunt on behalf of your niece." After saying this, Gu Xiang took the snacks and left with satisfaction.

"Mom, please go find my new clothes and new shoes." Thinking that he would have a wife tomorrow, Xiaolu said excitedly.

"I know, I know. Why are you in such a hurry? Let me tell you, this daughter-in-law was married to serve you. You can't spoil her." Mrs. Lin restrained the smile on her face.

"I know, don't worry, mother. No matter who she is, she can't surpass you in my heart.

From now on, not only will I be filial to you, but my wife will also have to be filial to you.

If she dares to be unfilial, I will beat her to death." Xiaolu said with a playful smile.

"My son is so filial. Okay, there are some snacks in the room. Go and have some. Mom will find some clothes for you." Mrs. Lin was coaxed by her youngest son in no time.

The Lin family runs a grocery store, and Mrs. Lin gave birth to three sons and one daughter.

The older children have all married and had children, and the daughter is also married.

Only the youngest son was left. Because he was not well taken care of in the womb, he was born with short stature.

Even when he grew up, he was only a little over 1.4 meters tall.

Later, he broke his leg in an accident.

So Mrs. Lin doted on her youngest son quite a bit.

It's almost to the point where every request is granted.

Xiaolu has never earned a penny since he was a child, and whenever there is anything good at home, he has to get it first.

But there was only one thing that made Mrs. Lin very distressed.

That is Xiaolu’s marriage.

Because of Xiaolu's congenital defect, no girl was interested in him.

In the past few years, Mrs. Lin has been asking people to find a wife for Xiaolu, but unfortunately no one among the suitable families is willing.

Not to mention the town, no one was willing even in the nearby villages.

There were also families who didn't care about their daughters and wanted to marry them to Xiaolu, but the bride price they asked for was too much. It was like selling their daughters.

It’s not that the Lin family can’t afford it, but there are two sisters-in-law on the small road.

I spent dozens of taels of silver to help Xiaolu get married, but my two sisters-in-law would definitely not agree.

After all, they are both daughters-in-law, and if the gap is too big, they will definitely feel dissatisfied.

Although Mrs. Lin felt sorry for her youngest son, she also knew that she could not rely on him for support in her old age.

I will probably still rely on my eldest son in the future, so I don’t dare to go too far.

Unlike the Lin family who were happy, Gu Xiang was a little worried after leaving the Lin family.

It can be said that she framed the eldest girl and deceived the eldest brother and his wife.

She was not worried about anything else. As long as this happened, her elder brother and sister-in-law would definitely be angry with her.

She was worried that the big girl was not Lin Xiaolu.

This Lin Xiaolu is really ugly. Not only is he short, but he also has a pointed face and a monkey-like expression that makes him look wretched.

It's disgusting to look at him, and his legs are not working properly, he is a cripple.

Gu Xiang was afraid that the big girl would look down on Lin Xiaolu.

When Gu Xiang returned home with a heavy heart, Da Niu was playing with Zhao Di.

"Sister, I want to play too." Zhaodi watched the big girl tossing the sheep's crook up and down with her nimble fingers, and she was so excited that she wanted to try it herself.

"Okay, come, I'll teach you." The big girl said patiently.

"Hey, what are you playing?" Gu Xiang forced a smile.

"My aunt is back." The big girl said with a smile.

"Mom, I want to play with my cousin." Zhaodi said softly.

"Well, you guys play, I'll go cook." Gu Xiang said and went into the kitchen.

"By the way, I have already made an appointment with the Lin family. I will take you to meet her there tomorrow." Gu Xiang said before entering the kitchen.

"Going to the Lin family to meet? That's not a good idea, isn't it, aunt?

After all, we are the women. Wouldn't it be too cheap to take the initiative to go to the men's house to see them?" The big girl followed into the kitchen.

"Well, what's the big deal, just go over and take a look.

Let me tell you, the Lin family is quite well off. The grocery store on the west side of the town belongs to them.

To be honest, if Lin Xiaolu hadn't been ill, it wouldn't have been our turn to visit him."
