Chapter 13 Marriage Agreement 1
Zeng Sibai looked at the three people on the other side and decided that if he couldn't afford to provoke them, he could just hide from them.
But before leaving, Zeng Sibai accused him, "You are not a man. You stole my fiancée. You are not a gentleman."
Gu Tang also chimed in, "I didn't expect you to be such a person. You stole someone's fiancée and dared to speak nonsense here."
Seeing that the two people had wrongly accused Lu Yan, Gu Leyou clenched his fists, looked at them angrily, and said, "Stop talking nonsense here. It was you two who blocked my way and wouldn't let me go. I was helped out, but you are blaming me. How can this be justified in the world?"
Lu Yan didn't want to tolerate them. He raised his fist and was ready to challenge the two men.
These two people are the kind of people who are soft-hearted and afraid of hardship. When they saw that the other party was serious, they ran away as if they were running for their lives.
Gu Leyou and the other two looked at each other and smiled. These two people were really funny.
Xu Qingshan had been paying attention to the medicinal herbs that Gu Leyou had. Puzzled, he asked tentatively, "Miss, do you know any medical skills? How come you have so many herbs?"
Gu Leyou was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer.
Seeing her embarrassed look, Lu Yan helped her out and said, "The girl likes to read medical books. What's wrong with her picking herbs according to the explanations in the books? Besides, these herbs won't harm anyone. What are you worried about?"
Xu Qingshan smiled awkwardly, "I'm just curious about how a little girl who knows nothing can pick so many herbs. I'm just asking. Do you have to be so nervous? Everyone in the village knows that she will be your wife-to-be."
Hearing the latter part of the sentence, Gu Leyou's face turned red and she shyly took a few quick steps. Lu Yan and the others quickly trotted after her to protect her.
Gu Leyou saw that they were almost at their home, so he said to the two of them, "You guys go back. I'm almost home. I can go back by myself. Thank you for protecting me today. I will go to see Xiaoyao some other day when I have time."
Lu Yan nodded.
Then the two of them left.
Gu Leyou watched the two of them leave before turning around and walking towards his home.
When she got home, she heard Mrs. Gu's voice as soon as she reached the door, and she felt something was wrong.
"This girl from your family is so lawless that she hasn't come back yet. Could it be that she really went to that hunter's house as your sister-in-law said? She has no sense of shame at all."
After he finished speaking, Gu Leyou pushed open the gate and walked in.
Old Madam Gu was startled and cursed directly: "You devilish girl, you are going to scare me to death."
She simply ignored him, put down the backpack, and walked towards the house, calling out as she walked, "Dad, Mom, and brother, I'm back."
When Mrs. Lin heard her daughter's voice, she ran out and hugged her excitedly, her eyes red.
"My dear, you are finally back. I was so worried. Where have you been? Could it be that you went to the hunter's house again as they said?"
"No, I went to find some herbs. My brother was accidentally injured last time. I was afraid that his injury has not healed yet, so I wanted to find some herbs to apply to him." Gu Leyou explained.
When Mrs. Gu saw that her granddaughter ignored her, she flew into a rage.
She was yelling in the yard.
"Your family from the second family don't take me seriously at all, get out here and give me a reasonable explanation."
The second son of the Gu family was most afraid of his mother, so he had no choice but to accept his mother's teachings.
He lowered his head and let his mother scold him.
“Your family is really unfilial. Your son is like this, and now even a little girl liar dares to ignore his existence. It’s simply lawless.”
Lin was muttering quietly on the side.
"You are such an old lady. It was you who said something unpleasant, and this girl heard it, so she ignored you. How can an elder say such a thing to a younger person?"
Gu Haixiong was standing next to his wife, but he heard everything clearly. He quickly signaled to his wife with his eyes not to continue talking, lest their mother hear it. That would be a big trouble. After all, as children, they knew their mother's unyielding character very well.
As expected, when Mrs. Gu heard the evil daughter-in-law's mouth moving, she thought she was muttering about her, so she put on a stern face and asked in an extremely cold tone: "Second daughter-in-law, what are you talking about? Speak louder so that everyone can hear it."
Lin learned his lesson and lowered his head, saying nothing.
Gu Leyou took the opportunity to ask Old Mrs. Gu.
"Grandma, last time you said you would find a good day for me to get married. So, have you found a good day? When will I marry Brother Lu?"
Being reminded of this, Mrs. Gu then remembered that she seemed to have not yet chosen an auspicious day. Yesterday, she had promised the village chief in front of everyone that she would definitely marry off the girl, and she couldn't delay it any longer.
So she said, "I'll settle the score with you later." Then she left in a hurry.
Only after Old Mrs. Gu left did Gu Haixiong's family breathe a sigh of relief.
Because this old lady is very difficult to deal with, she has been waiting here for Gu Leyou for several hours. It must be the instigation of sister-in-law Yang.
The eldest brother's family wanted to make fun of their family from the very beginning.
During dinner in the evening, Gu Haixing talked about the marriage with his daughter again.
Gu Haixiong frowned and asked her, "My daughter, we hope your grandmother will not think of picking a date for you and letting you become a nun. How can you remind her? Besides, are you really so eager to marry that hunter?"
"Mom and Dad, I'm not stupid. I can't rush to marry someone. I'm not saying that. Grandma will definitely make a big fuss in our house. Then the neighbors will know and point fingers at us behind our backs. What's more, if this matter alarms the village chief, I'm afraid our family will be in turmoil for a while."
Gu Leshu also chimed in, "Yes, Dad and Mom, I think what my sister said makes sense. You all know what kind of personality my grandma has. If she catches us talking, she will come to our house and make a fuss for days and nights. Besides, your words and deeds count. You told us about this, and since you have already agreed to marry my sister to the hunter brother, you can't go back on your word."
Gu Haixiong, as a father, felt humiliated when being taught a lesson by his own son, so he immediately showed his fatherly authority and taught his son a lesson: "Eat your meal properly. This matter has nothing to do with you, so don't get involved."
Gu Leshu was very unconvinced and wanted to talk back to his father, but after receiving a look from Gu Leyou, he obediently shut his mouth and lowered his head to eat the rice in his bowl.
