Chapter 36 Who hit me?
Luo Yongnian did have something to do, so he nodded to Gu Jianguo and turned away. As for Gu Yimin, he didn't even glance at her.
Gu Yimin pursed her lips and looked at his back, feeling a sour and bitter feeling in her heart. This feeling was unfamiliar and unbearable to her, but she couldn't help but look at the tall figure.
Gu Erhui shook her hand and said, "Let's go."
Gu Yimin hummed, retracted her gaze, and followed Gu Jianguo and the others home. She tried her best to act normal along the way, but even the careless Gu Jianguo could see that she was abnormal.
Back home, Gu Siqing and Gu Sanjing had just returned from school. Gu Yimin followed Wang Yueju and Gu Erhui into the kitchen to cook. Gu Erhui sat in front of the stove to light the fire, Wang Yueju added water to the pot, and Gu Yimin took out a cabbage to wash.
Wang Yueju glanced at her eldest daughter, hesitated for a moment and said, "Your father said he is from Liushutun, his name is Luo Yongnian, and he looks quite old." And he is divorced.
Wang Yueju was grateful to Luo Yongnian, but that didn't mean she thought he was suitable to be her son-in-law. His age and divorce were two factors that made him unsuitable.
Also, I saw that woman with injuries on her face today. Who hit her?
Gu Yimin paused while washing the vegetables, then continued. When they met again this time, she understood her own heart. She fell in love with the man named Luo Yongnian.
Why do you like it?
Maybe it was because she liked his clean and swift moves when he beat Zhao Erhai, or maybe it was because she liked his gentlemanly behavior of turning his back. Anyway, she just liked him.
She had been engaged to Deng Zhiming for more than a year, but she had never had this feeling towards him.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Wang Yueju sighed inwardly. She had also been through this age before and knew that once a girl set her mind to something, it was not easy to change.
Should we first ask about Luo Yongnian?
Wang Yueju's heart was also in a mess.
Lunch was steamed noodles with a cold eggplant salad, and the family ate around the dining table. Gu Siqing loved her mother's steamed noodles the most, and she ate a large bowl in one go, feeling a bit full. She got up and went for a walk in the yard, and by the way, she went to Gu Erhui to ask about something.
"I noticed that my eldest sister and my parents looked unhappy. Did you run into Deng Zhiming again when you went to town?"
"No."
Gu Erhui recounted her encounter with Luo Yongnian in the town. Gu Siqing's behavior these days made her unconsciously treat her as an adult.
"Big sister, are you interested in that guy?" Gu Siqing asked Gu Erhui in a low voice. Gu Erhui nodded, "I think so, but my parents probably won't agree."
Gu Siqing scratched her head. Divorced!
She wasn't discriminating against divorced people, but she felt that divorce in this era wasn't as easy as drinking water in later generations. Reasons like emotional discord, differences in world values, and long-distance separation wouldn't lead to divorce in this era.
As long as we can survive, everyone will just make do.
So, divorce is definitely a major issue in this era. So, the question is, is it the man's fault or the woman's? Or is it both? Are there children? Will there be any lingering feelings after a divorce?
From his actions that day when he saved the elder sister and quietly sent her home, we can roughly know that Luo Yongnian is a good man. But good people are not necessarily suitable for marriage.
But if the elder sister likes it, you can't just oppose it blindly. Sometimes the more you oppose it, the more resistance the person will have.
"From Liushutun?" Gu Siqing asked Gu Erhui. Seeing her nod, she thought for a moment and said, "It seems that Third Aunt's family is from Liushutun."
"It seems so." Gu Erhui leaned close to Gu Siqing and whispered, "You mean to ask Third Aunt? How do you ask that? We haven't even started yet?" It would be bad if Third Aunt guessed her intention and spread it out.
"Ask her son Zhang Dongsheng." Gu Siqing whispered again, "Doesn't he often play poker with Brother Daqiang? I'll go with them when they play poker."
"That's fine." Gu Erhui said.
It's normal for Gu Siqing to like to join in the fun since she is young. Moreover, Gu Xueqiang is not like Gu Jiancheng and Zhang Chuntao. He is down-to-earth and has his own calculations in dealing with people. Even if he notices something is wrong, he will not say anything to outsiders.
After all, they are cousins.
The two of them were discussing this, while Wang Yueju and Gu Jianguo were also discussing this. Wang Yueju whispered to Gu Jianguo, "How about I go to my third sister-in-law's house next door and ask around?"
Gu Jianguo frowned. Although he was grateful to Luo Yongnian, he was not very agreeable to him becoming his son-in-law. Of course, it was obvious that Yimin was the only one who was enthusiastic about this matter.
"Don't ask about it for now. My third sister-in-law is a talkative person." Gu Jianguo was afraid that his daughter would have a bad reputation.
Wang Yueju sighed. "Judging from how he saved Yimin, he must be a good man, but a good man isn't necessarily good to his wife. The woman he was with today must be his ex-wife, right? Who beat up those bruises on her face?"
"We don't know anything yet, so don't make blind guesses." Although Gu Jianguo was not satisfied with Luo Yongnian being his son-in-law, he would not make malicious speculations about others.
"What should we do? What about Yimin?"
"Leave it for now. Maybe it will fade away after a while."
"That's all we can do."
Gu Yimin sat on the bed knitting, thinking about the scene of meeting Luo Yongnian today. He only glanced at her, but that glance made her heart almost jump out.
When she calmed down, she realized that what she did was wrong and too blind.
A few years ago, Wang Jinling from the village fell in love with an educated youth and begged and pleaded to marry him, doing many ridiculous and despicable things.
Later, she did marry the educated youth, but he divorced her after he returned to the city. Even if she cried and made a fuss, it was no use; the educated youth was a city dweller, and she couldn't fight him.
Wang Jinling's case was a lesson, she knew it well. She was only saved once by Luo Yongnian. She didn't know how old he was, what he did, she didn't know anything about him, and yet she was obsessed with him like this. This was wrong.
But she just couldn't control her heart.
At this moment, Gu Erhui came over and sat next to her. She whispered to her the result of her discussion with Gu Siqing and said, "Let's find out about his situation first. If he's a good person, we'll take action. If he's not a good person, then forget it."
Gu Yimin didn't expect them to want to find out about Luo Yongnian. She was surprised and asked, "What action should we take?"
Gu Erhui looked at her and asked, "If he's good in every way, wouldn't you give him a try?"
Gu Yimin didn't say anything. She was always worried that it was wrong for her to blindly like a man and she didn't want to pursue him.
"I think," Gu Erhui continued, "you should test it out. If he's interested, then everyone will be happy. But if he's not interested..."
"I won't pester you." Gu Yimin interrupted Gu Erhui. She couldn't do anything to pester her.
Gu Erhui breathed a sigh of relief, her elder sister had not completely lost her mind.
