Chapter 329 I Know Yue Huai
Bai Mei looked at Gu Tinghuai with a complicated heart. Her lips trembled and she wanted to say something else, but when she saw his eyes looking deeply at her, she suddenly felt that she seemed to have underestimated his feelings.
She drooped her eyelashes, a little discouraged: "What if my parents don't agree?"
Gu Tinghuai's eyes were clear and his words were sincere: "Don't be afraid, I'm here. I will try my best to treat you well and your family well. One day they will see how good I am. Don't worry, I won't give up."
These words sounded a little silly, but when Bai Mei heard them, her heart was filled with sweetness.
From childhood to adulthood, she has had to bear everything on her own, she didn't have enough to eat, she didn't have warm clothes, she was scolded and beaten by her parents, and she was used to licking her wounds silently. But today, there appeared a person who was willing to shelter her from the wind and rain at all costs.
This feeling is hard to describe, but she knows very well that no one in this life will treat her better than Gu Tinghuai.
Thinking of this, Bai Mei's face turned red. She stole a glance at Gu Tinghuai, then stood on tiptoe and pressed her soft lips on Gu Tinghuai's cheek. The latter was stunned by the warm kiss. Just as he was about to reach out to embrace Bai Mei, she stepped back.
"I'm going back!" Bai Mei smiled and waved to Gu Tinghuai, then caught up with Gu Yuehuai and the others.
Gu Tinghuai raised his hand and touched his cheek, then grinned, wishing he could jump a few times on the spot.
Fangen Brigade is not far from Dalaozi Production Brigade, but it requires going around many winding ridges. The country roads are narrow and dark, so it would be quite scary to walk there alone.
Bai Mei didn't know if it was because her feelings had become stronger, but her originally heavy mood eased a lot.
She and Gu Yuehuai walked side by side in front, while Wang Ziyan and Jin Can walked behind.
"Sister Baimei, when are you and Brother Gu planning to get married?" Wang Ziyan was full of curiosity. Ever since she knew that Gu Tinghuai had a girlfriend, she had been eager to meet the future sister-in-law Gu. Now, she was unexpectedly outstanding.
Bai Mei paused, then raised her lips and said, "As soon as possible."
No matter when her parents' minds changed, in her heart, she really wanted to marry Gu Tinghuai as soon as possible and start a new, happy family. She believed that marrying him would definitely make up for the suffering she experienced in her childhood.
Hearing this, Wang Ziyan made a noise of encouragement and Jin Can also laughed out loud.
For a woman, it is really a great happiness to find someone who shares the same thoughts with her.
Wang Ziyan said with a click of the tongue: "Brother Gu is steady, has a good temper, and treats you well. When you marry into the family, you will also have a sister-in-law like Yue Huai. Tsk, it's so great to think about it. Sister Bai Mei, you will enjoy your life."
Bai Mei smiled and didn't say anything. Instead, she looked at Gu Yuehuai with a look as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
She knew that although Gu Yuehuai was young, she was a very opinionated person and that she was the one who made the decisions on important matters in the Gu family. So she was hesitating whether to tell her about what had just happened, hoping that she would be able to come up with some solutions.
"Yue Huai, the reason why I couldn't come here earlier today is because my parents wouldn't let me. They invited Huang Sheng to their house for dinner and wouldn't let me go out no matter what. If your eldest brother hadn't come to pick me up, I definitely wouldn't have been able to leave."
"But... they said a lot of inappropriate things to Ting Huai and even pushed him in front of Huang Sheng."
"I'm sorry that I made Ting Huai feel wronged. I don't know what to do to make my parents change their minds. Yue Huai, what do you think I should do and how hard should I work?"
Bai Mei's tone was a little confused. This was the first time she had experienced something like this and she really didn't know what to do.
Wang Ziyan behind him said with emotion: "Your parents really don't agree? Oh, this is very difficult to deal with."
Bai Mei smiled bitterly, not knowing how to answer.
Gu Yuehuai glanced at her. It was normal for Bai Mei to be timid. After all, she had been neglected by her family since she was a child. It could be said that she had a hard life under the oppression of her "parents". Such a person naturally had no self-confidence and dared not confront her parents.
As a bystander, she naturally felt that she should follow her own heart and resist the unreasonable demands of her "parents".
After all, the Bai couple are not her biological parents. Even if the grace of giving birth is not as great as the grace of raising her, they have never fulfilled the obligations and responsibilities of parents. They have only treated Bai Mei harshly and exploitatively. It is not worth respecting such parents.
Of course, if she expressed such thoughts aloud, it would seem unorthodox, and it would be difficult to tell Bai Mei about it.
Gu Yuehuai pondered for a moment and said, "Bai Mei, there are always things that people want in their lives, and they even have to make some choices for these things. You can't have your cake and eat it too."
"Let me tell you this. If my eldest brother doesn't become very rich, or have a decent job, or even strong abilities, your parents will never agree. I don't know how to convince your parents."
"Although Gu Tinghuai is my biological elder brother, I have to tell you that my elder brother is indeed mediocre and has no advantages to show off. But I can say with certainty that he will be very good to his future wife."
"There is something you may not know. My eldest brother is going to leave the Dalaozi Production Brigade after the New Year to join the army."
Gu Yuehuai's voice was very calm, although she had only just learned about this matter not long ago.
Bai Mei was indeed stunned. She tilted her head to look at Gu Yuehuai, seeming a little bit unbelieving.
Gu Yuehuai was not that surprised. She was silent for a while when she heard it. After all, for men of this era, joining the army was an excellent way out. Even if the road ahead was full of thorns, it was better than doing nothing at home.
"He also knows that he doesn't have the ability right now and he's going to get married soon, so it's not good for him to be with you like this."
"He wants to give you a good life, so secretly I still hope that you can be brave for once to be with my brother. I dare not say anything else, but if he dares to let you down in the future, I will be the first one to not forgive him."
"Of course, if you want to listen to your parents' ideas and find someone with better conditions, I can understand that."
"There are many choices in life, and marriage is undoubtedly the most important one. No one can help you with this."
Gu Yuehuai felt that she had a say. After all, all her misfortunes in her previous life started from marrying the wrong person.
Afterwards, after hearing what Gu Yuehuai said, Wang Ziyan and Jin Can looked at each other, and both of them twitched their lips uncontrollably.
Bai Mei listened and fell silent. Thinking of the evil things her parents had done to her, and the gentle and affectionate look in Gu Tinghuai's eyes when he looked at her, she pursed her lips and nodded, "Thank you, Yuehuai. I understand."
If she really had to obey her parents and marry someone like Huang Sheng, she would rather die.
She has been an obedient puppet for half her life. Should she continue to be submissive?
No, this time, she wanted to make her own decision.
