Chapter 47 Go find Gu Chouni
Speaking of Gu Zhenhua, Hu Meili was still a little confused and asked Lin Xiangnan, "No one from the Gu family came today?"
"No." Lin Xiangnan was at home the whole afternoon and didn't hear any movement.
"The Gu family really has no manners." Hu Meili said disdainfully: "Even if they and Gu Zhenhua have a conflict, as parents, they should come and express their stance. They are pretending not to know."
"Gu Zhenhua beat his brother like that. It's good enough that the Gu family didn't come to interfere. Why are you still expressing your views?"
Hu Meili disagreed with Gu Zhenhua's behavior of hitting his family members, and whispered: "If my eldest brother hadn't been the matchmaker and you had liked her, I wouldn't have dared to agree to this marriage."
This is also the reason why Gu Zhenhua has been single for so many years. Everyone he knows in his hometown knows that he has a bad reputation, and good girls dare not marry him. After all, there are not many girls like Lin Xiangnan who are both talented in literature and martial arts.
When he was in the army, some leaders did introduce him to girls, but Gu Zhenhua thought that the other party didn't know the situation in his hometown, and he couldn't cheat them for no reason, so he rejected them all.
When he met a girl like Lin Xiangnan, who made his heart beat faster and was not picky about his family and reputation, Gu Zhenhua cherished her very much. As soon as he arrived at the army, he wrote an application to the organization and sent a letter and a brand new military coat to Lin Xiangnan.
Gu Zhenhua was still worried about his family, so he wrote a letter home, urging his elder brother to study hard and not fall behind in thinking.
When Gu Zhenguo saw the letter, his wound, which had clearly healed, began to hurt again.
Especially when he heard Gu Chouni scolding Hu Meili at home, his wound hurt even more.
"Mom, my third brother has already said that it's best for the two families not to have any contact. Why do you have to think about the Hu family coming to give you gifts?"
Gu Chouni scolded, "Isn't this as it should be? Their family wants my son to marry into their family! And they didn't even show any reaction. They really don't know etiquette. That Lin Xiangnan is also arrogant. He was discussing marriage with Gu Zhenhua, but he didn't even come to see me, his mother-in-law."
Even though she was scolded, Gu Chouni did not dare to go to the Hu family, for fear that her beloved son would be beaten again when Gu Zhenhua came back next time.
"Hu Meili doesn't have a son, so why does she want my son to marry into her family?" Gu Chouni asked suspiciously, "There must be something wrong with Lin Xiangnan. Otherwise, why would he be with Gu Zhenhua?"
Gu Fugen agreed. "There must be something wrong. Can someone who is involved with Gu Zhenhua be a good person?"
"I've seen this little girl from the Lin family. She's very pretty. She's probably not a virgin anymore, so she came to Gu Zhenhua to take over?" Gu Chouni guessed maliciously, "Or maybe Gu Zhenhua took advantage of her. He forced her to marry him? Otherwise, she wouldn't be interested in him."
"Yes. How could such a beautiful girl be interested in Gu Zhenhua?" Gu Zhenguo agreed sincerely.
In their eyes, Gu Zhenhua has been a bastard for ten years, with bad habits. The army can't teach him well, and he is capable of doing anything bad.
So the more they talked, the more they felt that Gu Zhenhua was a bully who forced Lin Xiangnan into marriage. Although Lin Xiangnan was not innocent either, overall, he should be regarded as a poor little person who was forced into marriage.
In this family, the one who least wanted her son to marry into the family was Gu Chouni.
"Lin Xiangnan is in a hurry to get married, so why not just introduce her to someone? There are many men better than Gu Zhenhua on the street. Gu Zhenhua has returned to the army. When he comes back, Lin Xiangnan will have married someone else. It will be useless even if he has leverage over someone else."
Gu Chouni became more and more excited as she spoke, and was already looking for a young man she knew in her mind.
Gu Zhenhua told them not to cause trouble at the Hu family, but they could stay out of this matter.
It's just an introduction. You can let a matchmaker do the talking, or let the boy's mother go and talk in person. It's none of their business anyway.
He could disrupt Gu Zhenhua's marriage without showing up himself. Even though Gu Zhenguo was a coward, he couldn't help but be tempted and reminded him, "Do it quietly. Don't let Gu Zhenhua find out."
After being beaten for so many years, who wouldn’t want revenge?
"Don't worry. When Gu Zhenhua comes back, his marriage will have already fallen through. It would be strange if they could trace it back to us."
Gu Chouni was full of confidence, but the group of women who had a good relationship with her were not very good at their work and conduct. As for the men introduced to her, not to mention Lin Xiangnan, even Hu Meili frowned when she heard about it.
"Our Xiaonan is already engaged. Please don't introduce anyone to Xiaonan." Hu Meili refused directly.
"Although our eldest son lost his little finger, it does not affect his life, and he is an honest man, much better than Gu Zhenhua. Although Xiaonan has been bullied by Gu Zhenhua, our family does not despise him."
After all, Lin Xiangnan was a city resident and had a grain quota. If he married a country girl, he would have to buy expensive grain, and the cost of living would be huge.
Although Lin Xiangnan and Gu Zhenhua are engaged, they haven't gotten their marriage certificate yet. When Hu Meili heard this, she was so angry that she slapped the other person in the face.
"I'll kill you, you shameless old dog, you just bark."
One slap was not enough to vent her anger, so Hu Meili slapped him again, "Shameless old bitch, how dare you hook up with my daughter."
"Ah! I'll fight you." The woman was not a pushover. She immediately started to fight with Hu Meili and pulled her hair. "Your daughter did something bad, and you won't let me tell you? I'll tell you! I'll tell you! My son doesn't care about a piece of trash like your daughter. Trash! Trash!"
Hu Meili was a veteran of the battlefield. She quickly seized the opportunity and defeated the enemy with one move. She rode on the enemy and said, "Your son is a piece of scum! I don't want him to carry my shoes. He deserves to be single for the rest of his life."
Hu Meili does not live in a slum now. The people living around her are all her relatives. When they saw Hu Meili fighting with someone, Hu Daxi and his wife hurried over to help. They didn't even think about trying to stop the fight and just subdued the woman.
Lin Xiangnan, Lin Xiangxi and others also hurried down from upstairs to see what was going on.
When the other party saw that Hu Meili had so many people supporting her, he immediately wanted to slip away.
Hu Meili grabbed her arm and said, "Don't leave. You spread rumors about my Xiaonan. I'm going to send you to the police station."
"I didn't say anything nonsense. Gu Zhenhua's parents said so, how could it be false? Otherwise, why would your daughter get engaged to that bastard Gu Zhenhua?" This man sold Gu Chouni out directly.
Hu Daxi stamped his feet in anger and cursed, "Gu Chouni and his wife are becoming more and more unreliable. After all, he is their own son. How can they not want to see him do well?"
He was the matchmaker, and Hu Daxi felt embarrassed about what happened.
"Let's go! Take your weapons and this woman with you, and go find Gu Chouni."
After Hu Daxi said this, everyone in the family started looking for a suitable stick.
Lin Xiangnan also excitedly went to find a stick that suits him.
