Chapter 7 Go to Gu's house to apologize
"What? Daya, is what your grandma said true?" Su in the room was shocked when she heard what Old Lady Xu said.
"Yes, I will have nothing to do with Gu Yun from now on," Xu Zhiyi replied calmly.
Upon hearing this, Su suddenly collapsed to the ground and sobbed, "Daya, that was the marriage your father risked his life to get you, how can you just give up on it?"
Then he thought of something, stood up, grabbed Xu Zhiyi's hand and asked, "Daya, are you the one who wants to break off the engagement, or did Gu Yun do something to betray you?"
Xu Zhiyi was about to explain, but there was constant clapping outside the door.
"Ms. Su, open the door for me quickly," came the exasperated voice of Old Mrs. Xu.
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhiyi walked over angrily and opened the door. Old Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Li outside the door fell to the floor in the room.
“Ouch!!!”
Old Lady Xu didn't care if she was hurt or not! She quickly jumped up and yelled, "Money-loser, I don't agree to cancel the Gu family's marriage. You have to go to the Gu family and apologize right now. You have to keep this marriage no matter what!"
Li: "That's right! Daya, don't be ungrateful for what you have. Gu Yun is someone we in Liuhe Village are eager to get close to but we can't! If it wasn't for my second brother who sacrificed his life for him, how could it be your turn, Xu Daya?"
Su, who was standing by, also advised, "Daya, are they having a quarrel? If that's the case, you can go to the Gu family and talk it out!"
Xu Zhiyi: "Mom, there is absolutely no possibility for me and Gu Yun. Also, it was your daughter who broke off the engagement first because he, Gu Yun, had an affair with Chen Xiaohua behind your daughter's back! Oh, Chen Xiaohua is pregnant with Gu Yun's baby now."
"What? He...how could he do this? He was clearly engaged to you a long time ago." After hearing the truth, Su felt angry.
Then she grabbed Old Lady Xu's hand and started crying, "Mom, you have to make a decision for Daya! Gu Yun clearly has Daya as his fiancée, but he actually did such a heartless thing. He doesn't deserve Brother Yong to risk his life to save him! Woo woo!!"
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Xu at the side pushed Su away and looked at Xu Zhiyi with a curled lip: "Bah, why are you so narrow-minded? Who cares if Gu Yun got pregnant with someone outside? You don't agree to cancel the engagement. How dare he cancel it?"
"Anyway, after Gu Yun passes the imperial examination, he will have to take a concubine sooner or later. Now is just a step early. As long as you are the legal wife, isn't that enough?"
Besides, he is a scholar, how dare she make trouble? She is in power at home, but she is powerless outside, so she dare not.
It would be fine if she didn't get the person, but if she made a scene that the Gu family refused to help the Xu family to hang the land! Wouldn't that be a big loss in the future? So from today on, she had to take a detour when she saw Wang, and she would never let her open her mouth to talk about hanging the land.
Li: "That's right, Daya, you are narrow-minded. What's the big deal if Chen Xiaohua is pregnant? It's just right, you can marry her and become a mother! The baby born by Chen Xiaohua can only be called aunt"
Xu Zhiyi was so angry that she almost laughed when she heard what the two said. She said coldly, "Aunt, I am narrow-minded, but my cousin is very broad-minded. If you ask my cousin to come over now, even if you can't get a wife, you can get a concubine and get some benefits, right?"
Li was frustrated when she heard this. Before the incident with Chen Xiaohua, she wanted to change the marriage to her own daughter, but now...
She was somewhat unwilling, unless Gu Yun really passed the imperial examination and became the top scholar, in which case she could let her daughter become his concubine, and she would be happy with that!
Xu Zhiyi: "Also, I'll say it again, there is absolutely no possibility for me to get married to the Gu family. If anyone thinks it's a pity, just learn from Chen Xiaohua and achieve your goal by relying on your son to gain status."
"Oh, grandma, you and your aunt are too old to be together, but don't we still have cousins? Ask them to go and ask Chen Xiaohua for advice. If they can really marry into the Gu family, it can be considered as an early opportunity for the sisters to get along with each other, right?"
Hearing this, Old Lady Xu was so angry that she couldn't speak: "You...you..."
Li glared angrily: "Daya, you...you are going too far..."
Xu Zhiyi shrugged and interrupted, "Why? Auntie, is there something wrong with what my niece said?"
Su, who was standing by, heard this and quickly pushed Xu Zhiyi gently, saying, "Daya, how can you joke with your elders? Your grandma is almost 70 or 80 years old, how can she still have children? Even if she can, she can't do such a shameless thing! And your aunt, she can still have children, can she really betray your uncle?"
"Your cousins, knowing that Gu Yun is a heartless man, if you still rush to do this, it will be our Xu family who will be embarrassed!"
Old Mrs. Xu: “…………” She was so angry, why did it feel so harsh?
Li: “…” She always felt something was wrong and wanted to curse back, but she didn’t know where to start.
"Mom, these are all what grandma and aunt taught me with all their heart and soul. If I don't know how to behave, wouldn't that be a waste of their kindness? They want to be Gu Yun's mistress, and I'm giving them advice, aren't I?" Xu Zhiyi waved her hand, looking like she was willing to learn.
Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Xu felt even more upset. She glared at Su and Xu Zhiyi fiercely, then walked out the door humming.
Su felt the vicious look of Old Lady Xu and shuddered subconsciously.
"Second brother's wife, you really raised a 'good granddaughter' for mother!" Li said sarcastically, and quickly followed Old Lady Xu.
Su looked at Li and wanted to explain, but she turned around and left: "Sister-in-law... I... Alas"
"Daya, mother knows you've been wronged! I watched Gu Yun grow up, but I didn't expect that he was such a ruthless man despite looking so gentle on the outside."
Xu Zhiyi: "Mom, think positively. It's better to see through this kind of person sooner rather than later."
Su heard this, tears welled up in her eyes, and she choked up and said, "Mother understands everything, but mother has always had a hope in her heart, thinking that at least you have arranged such a good marriage early on."
"It won't be long before you can marry into the Gu family. Even though it's not a wealthy family, at least your life will be a hundred times better than in your parents' home."
"Who would have thought that this marriage would have such an unexpected turn of events? I didn't expect that Gu Yun, who grew up being praised by others, would be so unbearable behind the scenes. Woohoo, Daya, I am useless. I am sorry for you!"
Xu Zhiyi saw that she was crying so hard, so he went over and hugged Su and said, "Mom, let's separate and live separately!"
Su: "What? Split up the family?"
"Yes, let's split up the family. I'll live with you and mother, and I'll never marry. Let's find a son-in-law and be the master of the family..."
Su was so shocked that she interrupted immediately: "Daya, where do you get these ideas? Don't mention it in front of your grandparents, understand?"
"The rules left by our ancestors are that as long as the parents are alive, the family should not be divided. If you say these words in front of your grandparents, it will be regarded as a curse for your grandparents to die early, which will be a big deal!"
"Besides, the drought is so severe now. If we separate, how will we survive? If we really separate, your grandparents won't be able to give us mother and daughter much food."
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhiyi knew that Su was just worried that the mother and daughter would not be able to make a living if they separated. She thought that since she had no skills, she would definitely not have the income to support two people if she went out. In addition, the current drought made her even more unwilling to separate.
In the original owner's memory of rebirth, she had only one month to flee famine. In order to avoid repeating the original owner's old path in her previous life, she had to find a way to get away from this group of top-notch people in the Xu family.
After all, the original owner and her daughter were sold on the road to escape famine in the previous life, so she must break off all ties with the Xu family before escaping.
Then they set up a separate female household, so that no one in the Xu family could interfere with her marriage privately or sell her and Su.
She had to find a way to get the Xu family to take the initiative to split up the family or break off the relationship.
Suddenly, a man's voice was heard in the yard, and Xu Zhiyi immediately knew that it was the Xu family's father and sons who had taken their turn to look for water and returned!
"Mom, grandpa and the others are back, it's time to eat! Let's go and eat." Xu Zhiyi pulled Su and walked out.
