Chapter 17 Hit Him on the Butt
"The Deng family gave 66 yuan on the day of the proposal, and 166 yuan when we exchanged the letters, a total of 232." Wang Yueju muttered to herself, took out 232 yuan and handed it to Gu Jianguo, then folded the wallet layer by layer.
"Don't talk too much to them when you get there. Just give them the things and come back." Wang Yueju was afraid her husband would clash with the Deng family. In their village, even if Gu Jianguo was a good fighter, he couldn't beat the people from the same village.
"I know." Gu Jianguo casually stuffed the money into his pocket and stood up to leave. Wang Yueju walked him to the door, feeling a little worried. After all the commotion yesterday, she was afraid that the Deng family would take advantage of Gu Jianguo delivering the money and get a group of people to beat him up.
Gu Jianguo was at a loss for words. "If they're not afraid of Deng Zhiming's suicide attempt to break off the engagement getting out, then just come."
After hearing this, Wang Yueju felt relieved. She was also worried.
Dengjiazhuang was quite far from their Shangshui Village, taking nearly half an hour by bike. When they arrived at Deng's house, there was no one in the yard. Gu Jianguo called out, "Is anyone there?"
After a while, the door to the main room opened and Deng Erzhu came out with a frown on his face. Seeing it was him, his face wrinkled into a pit. "Come in."
Gu Jianguo followed him into the house and immediately heard a humming sound, a kind of singing with a melody. It was Zhao Fenglan's voice.
"Zhiming's mother fell ill after returning from your house yesterday." Deng Erzhu's voice was full of resentment, but Gu Jianguo pretended not to hear it. He put the things on the table and took out the money from his pocket and handed it to him.
"232 yuan, a set of clothes, a piece of cloth, six pounds of meat, and Deng Zhiming's birth certificate. Count them."
Deng Erzhu took the money and counted it carefully, then went into the bedroom to get Gu Yimin's engagement card. As soon as he entered, Zhao Fenglan's groaning became even louder.
Gu Jianguo sat in the hall, listening to the smirking humming inside and wanting to laugh, but he held it in. The Deng family was truly petty. A breakup like this, if spread, would have a greater impact on the woman than the man.
As a result, their family went about their business as usual. As for the Deng family, it was as if someone had died.
Deng Erzhu came out of the bedroom and handed the engagement letter to Gu Jianguo. At this time, he heard Zhao Fenglan say from inside: "I want to see what kind of good family you can find."
Gu Jianguo accepted the invitation, looked at Deng Erzhu with a smile and said, "You don't have to worry about this."
After she finished speaking, she left. Zhao Fenglan came out of the bedroom humming, looking at Gu Jianguo's back and said, "Have they found someone?"
Deng Erzhu glared at her fiercely and said, "It's none of our business what kind of family you find. If you have nothing to do, do what you should do. Don't just lie in bed all the time."
As soon as he said this, Zhao Fenglan groaned even louder, her hand clutching her chest as if she were about to faint. Deng Erzhu strode out of the room in frustration. She'd lie in bed groaning over the slightest thing!
When Gu Jianguo returned home, dinner was already ready. He had bought two pounds of meat when he went to town, and Wang Yueju had made a big stew. He could smell the aroma as soon as he entered the yard.
After washing their hands, the family sat down to eat around the table. Before picking up their chopsticks, Gu Jianguo said, "The Deng family has accepted the money and gifts, and Yimin's engagement letter has also been retrieved. The marriage with the Deng family is now completely cancelled."
This made everyone feel relieved. They finally threw the bad sweet potatoes away and let them and Zhang Shuangping fight each other.
Gu Siqing looked at Gu Yimin and Gu Erhui: Are you still going to put Deng Zhiming in the sack?
Gu Yimin and Gu Erhui glanced back at her: Of course! They had been excited all morning.
Gu Siqing buried her head in eating, always feeling that since her rebirth, the painting styles of her elder and second sisters were inconsistent with her previous life!
Of course, she definitely wouldn't admit that it was her fault.
Han Zhengping finished school at 5:30 in the afternoon, and Gu Siqing and Gu Sanjing were waiting for him at the village entrance around 6 o'clock. Han Zhengping had to pass by here after school.
Gu Sanjing pulled some foxtail grass, and the two sisters worked together to weave little rabbits. By the time Han Zhengping arrived, they had already made five or six.
Han Zhengping stopped his bike when he saw the sisters and asked, "What are you two doing here?"
"Wait until you put on the sack." Gu Sanjing had been excited about this matter since last night, and blurted it out when Han Zhengping asked her.
Han Zhengping was confused by her words. Gu Siqing quickly leaned over to explain, "My eldest sister broke off the engagement with Deng Zhiming. He did some disgusting things, and we couldn't stand it. We want to put him in a sack and beat him up. Can you come and help me?"
Han Zhengping: “…”
When did the two sisters of the Gu family become so violent?
Seeing that he was frowning and not saying anything, Gu Siqing urged again, "Are you going to do it or not?"
Han Zhengping sighed in his heart, why does this sound so gangster-like?
However, Gu Yimin was usually very kind to him, so he couldn't just ignore her affairs. But this matter needed to be considered in the long run.
Deng Zhiming was a grown man in his twenties, taller than any of them, so putting a sack on him was technically difficult. But it wasn't impossible; it would require careful deduction and planning.
"Come up, let's go back together." Han Zhengping smiled at the two sisters, gently and harmlessly.
Gu Sanjing was impatient, and when he didn't give her a direct answer, she asked, "Are you going to do it or not?"
Han Zhengping smiled helplessly again, "Didn't I say I'm quitting? Go home and discuss what to do with my elder and second sisters."
He seems to have a really good temper.
"Okay." Gu Sanjing climbed onto the back seat, and Han Zhengping moved aside to let Gu Siqing sit in the front. Gu Siqing stood on tiptoe to sit on it. She really didn't like sitting on the front beam of a bicycle because it was too hard on her butt.
She just couldn't believe that those girls on TV in her previous life who sat on the front beam of their partner's bicycle and laughed happily didn't get their butts hurt.
"Don't put your hands on the brake, otherwise your hands will be pinched." Han Zhengping rode the bicycle and did not forget to remind Gu Siqing.
When they got home, Han Zhengping discussed with the four sisters in their room how to put Deng Zhiming in the sack, under the pretext of helping Gu Siqing with her homework.
Han Zhengping: "Deng Zhiming is taller than all of us. To put the sack on him, we have to push him down first."
Gu Yimin: "Deng Zhiming passed by the west side of the forest farm on his way home from get off work. There were usually very few people there."
One time, Deng Zhiming asked her to meet him on a small path west of the forest farm, saying he had something for her. Later, she and Erhui went together.
Little did she know that Deng Zhiming wanted to be alone with her and take advantage of her, so he made the appointment at that place. But what Deng Zhiming didn't expect was that Gu Yimin was a "wooden lump" and even brought her sister with her on the date.
Han Zhengping: "I know where it is. We'll lie in ambush there in advance. When he comes, I'll knock his bicycle over from behind, then push him down and put a sack over his head."
Gu Sanjing: "Hit him on the butt."
Gu Yimin: “…”
Gu Erhui: “…”
Well, Sanjing is still young and doesn’t know that it’s a bit shameful to talk about a man’s butt like that.
Gu Erhui: "Let's check it out first."
Han Zhengping: "We need to check out the location first. Let's go tomorrow after school."
