Chapter 135 A Good Story
The future father-in-law quickly asked the village chief, "Then what do you think we should do? You must have a way to save my child. My wife and I only have this one child, and we don't want to send him off before he dies."
Seeing this, the village head's wife quickly asked, "Have you thought about asking my best friend and your son to break up? If so, then this is what your son is worried about."
The two future relatives nodded in shame. After all, something like that happened on the wedding day, and they were worried that they couldn't marry an unlucky girl into their family, otherwise there would be more and more troubles in the family in the future.
The village head and his wife knew their concerns, so the village head asked: "Future in-laws, are you satisfied with our daughter? If you are satisfied, then our marriage will continue. If not, then let's call it quits."
The old couple didn't know how to answer. It wasn't that they were dissatisfied, but they were worried that their future daughter-in-law was really an unlucky person.
If this future daughter-in-law is really an unlucky person, will they have endless troubles if they marry her?
However, the village chief's wife understood their hesitation and was about to leave, pulling her old man.
"Old man, we have already agreed before. If no one wants to marry our daughter, then we will raise her until she grows old. Only in this way can our daughter not be bullied. I have already said that our daughter cannot be wronged after marrying here. They have hesitated, which means they don't want our best friend to be their daughter-in-law. There is nothing we can do about it."
After hearing what his wife said, the village chief also sighed.
He took his wife and was about to leave.
The two future in-laws saw that they were about to leave, sighed helplessly, and quickly stopped them.
They couldn't leave. If they left, their son would probably die soon.
It seems that it is really destined. God has determined to do so. They have to accept this daughter-in-law whether they want her or not. If they treat her badly, even God may not be able to bear it. So the future son-in-law's family has the final say.
"Then can I ask my future daughter-in-law to come to our house to see my son? Maybe if they meet each other, all the illnesses will be cured, and we can rest assured."
Since they had given in, the village head and his wife had no choice but to say, "Okay, I'll ask my daughter to come over after I go back. As for when their illness will be cured, it depends on their own luck."
After saying this, the village chief and his wife left the home of their future in-laws.
The rumors outside continue.
"This is really shameless. There are also girls' parents who go to the boys' parents to discuss the marriage. They are not afraid of losing face."
"Big sister, you don't understand this, right? I heard that this girl's parents are from Gujia Village, and that girl from Gujia Village is the daughter of the village chief. The village chief's family has only this little girl, but she is not pretty and has a birthmark on her face. It was not easy to find a marriage for her. You said that girls from our place usually get married on a sunny day, but their girl got married on a rainy day. I don't know if they chose the wrong day or what."
"I've heard about this, too. The Li family's son fell down, and I'm afraid it's unlucky, so they postponed the wedding. I think their future daughter-in-law is the daughter of the head of Gujia Village, which is unlucky."
…
After the village chief and his wife returned home, they immediately told their daughter about her future husband.
Of course, Anniu was extremely anxious, thinking that she had to go over today to see what her future husband was like. I also fell seriously ill that day. He knew that his beard was also very anxious when he fell off the horse, but because he had not yet married into their family, he could not run out to see. Even if he wanted to run out, he would be stopped.
She knew that her parents didn't want her to suffer any injustice, but this was a matter of life and death, and she couldn't be careless.
But who hasn’t left the house yet? It makes sense for the bride to go see her future husband. Normally, it is impossible for an unmarried couple to meet each other, but there were reasons for this, and the village chief could only acquiesce to his daughter's behavior.
But they never expected that their daughter would kneel down and beg them.
"Dad and Mom, this concerns our daughter's lifelong happiness. We have already chosen him. He is a good person and should be someone worthy of entrusting our lives to. The people in his family should also be easy to get along with."
"Forget it, it's too late today. You can go tomorrow, but don't stay too long. After all, you haven't become their daughter-in-law yet, you know."
Anniu nodded and agreed.
Early the next morning, Anniu dressed up carefully.
Although she has a birthmark on her face, it still can't conceal her lively temperament.
After simply packing up, she walked towards her future husband's house with a heart full of worry.
Along the way, those rumors were still echoing in her ears, but at this moment, Anniu was full of worries about her future husband, and those gossips had long been thrown out of her mind.
She also knew that she and him were destined to become a family, and she would cherish it.
When she arrived at her future husband's house, Annu's heart was pounding.
She took a deep breath and stepped into the yard.
When the future mother-in-law saw her, her eyes instantly turned red. She took her hand and walked into the house, muttering, "I've finally got you here. My kid has been talking about you for days."
When she walked into the room, Anniu saw her future husband lying on the bed, his face was pale and his body was thin. Anniu felt so distressed when she looked at him.
Her eyes were instantly moist, and she gently walked to the bed and sat down, holding his hand, and whispered, "I'm here."
Hearing Annu's voice, he slowly opened his eyes in his sleep. The moment he saw Annu, his originally dim eyes instantly lit up.
The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he said weakly: "I knew you would come." Their hands were tightly clasped together, as if everything in the world no longer existed at this moment.
Anniu sat down beside the bed and began to chat with him in a soft voice, telling him about the interesting things that happened in the village after the wedding day, and sharing her thoughts about him these days.
He just listened quietly, with a smile on his face from time to time, and his condition seemed to have improved slightly.
Anniu's parents-in-law saw everything inside the house from outside the door and shed tears of relief.
It seems that their family must marry this girl, this is destiny.
By the afternoon, it was time for Anniu to go back. If she stayed any longer, it might not be good.
So she reluctantly said goodbye to her future husband and walked out of his room.
The future mother-in-law pulled him into her room.
She always felt something was wrong. Did this future mother-in-law want to say something to her?
Could it be that they don’t agree with me being their daughter-in-law? Maybe this is the only possibility, otherwise why would he pull her into his room when he was leaving?
This must not be easy.
The future mother-in-law pulled her into her room and sat her down, then she said to her earnestly, "Girl, I know you are a good girl, but I cannot gamble the future of our family and my son's future with your marriage to my son."
Anniu immediately understood what her future mother-in-law meant, but she still wanted to try her best. After all, it is not easy to meet the right person.
For so many years, she always thought that she would never get married. She finally met such a good man. It would be such a pity if she gave up just because of a few words from his parents.
But now they have all determined that she is an ominous person and it is useless to say too much.
So this is what she told her future mother-in-law.
"Aunt, I know your family values a hardworking and capable daughter-in-law. I also know that you liked me before, but ever since I caused your son to have an accident on the day of the wedding, you have hesitated. Although it is said that it is the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words, most of our daughters' marriages are decided by our parents."
"The child will eventually be our fault, but for the future of our family, we cannot marry an unlucky daughter-in-law. I believe you have also heard some gossip, and we cannot live under their finger-pointing every day. I hope you can go back and explain to your parents that you don't like our son, okay? I know this is very difficult for you, but we don't want the two families to fall out, so we can only make it difficult for you."
Anniu didn't expect that today's meeting with her future husband would turn out like this. If their family didn't accept her, then she would have to stay at home for the rest of her life.
She also knew some of her husband's reputation. He was always an obedient child, so he would definitely accept his parents' opinions. Perhaps her fate with him was too shallow.
She suppressed her sadness, left her future husband's house, and walked home alone in a daze.
When she returned home and saw that her parents were not at home, she knew that her parents had gone to work, so she locked herself in her room and cried bitterly, then fell asleep. Then she developed a high fever at night.
This made the village chief and his wife very anxious.
They had already guessed what was going on. They thought that the other party probably did not agree with the marriage. After their daughter found out, she felt uncomfortable for a while and then developed a high fever.
Oh my God, why torture their daughter like this? Doesn’t God want to see their family doing well?
The village chief's wife felt so distressed that she burst into tears as she watched her daughter.
She asked her old man, "What should we do now? If the fire continues like this, our daughter will probably be burned to death. We only have this one daughter. If we can't even save her life, how can the two of us live?"
"The little doctor said that if he's not here, we should go find the second son of the Gu family's daughter if we have any problems. I'll go find that girl first. She should be able to save our daughter. If that doesn't work, I'll go get a doctor."
After saying this, the village chief ran out in a hurry.
It was pitch dark and he couldn't care less. He had to find Gu Leyou to save his daughter's life.
Gu Leyou's family had already gone to bed and were all sleeping soundly. When Lu Yan heard the urgent knock on the door, he woke up.
He became very alert and woke up his wife and children.
This would be terrible if the person knocking on the door was someone who was chasing them.
Lu Yan put on his clothes and hurried to the yard to check.
Hearing the familiar voice at the door, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
"Gu family's second son's daughter, please wake up quickly and save my daughter. She seems to be dying."
"It's the village chief."
They quickly opened the door.
The village chief knelt down as soon as he entered and opened the door.
"Hurry up and ask your wife to come with me to save my daughter. She has a sudden high fever and she is probably dying. Her mother and I only have this one daughter."
Gu Leyou had already put on her clothes, picked up her things, and followed the village chief to her home.
It was the middle of the night and the village chief's daughter had a high fever, and there was only one way to reduce her fever.
That is physical cooling. Only this method can reduce the fever. The children in their family also reduced the fever by using this method, so it is quite reasonable to use this method on Anniu.
So she gave orders to the village chief's wife and the village chief.
But it's winter now. If I use cold water, they probably won't believe it. But we can only try it out.
"Village chief and aunt, go get some basins of cold water, take some handkerchiefs and soak them in the cold water. Wring them out and apply them to your daughter's forehead. Change the handkerchiefs every incense stick. Repeat this several times. Wait until the second half of the night to see if your daughter's fever can go down. If it can, then it means she's fine."
The village head and his wife didn't know what this method was, but they still did it with an attitude of faith. Unexpectedly, in the second half of the night, their daughter's fever really subsided. When it was over in the morning, they were still worried, so they stayed and took care of her with them, and then they understood the whole story.
After waking up, Anniu cried in grievance, and thought that it was her luck, Zhou Shen's, that brought bad luck to the other party, so her marriage was so unsuccessful.
She cried and said to the village head and his wife, "Dad and Mom, I'm sorry. Maybe I have to stay at home for the rest of my life. They don't like me anymore and want to cancel the engagement. They asked me to come back and tell you that I had already agreed. Since it's not suitable, we shouldn't be together. I don't want everyone to say that I'm an unlucky person. I would rather leave this world if that happens."
Gu Leyou was shocked that a girl could say such a decisive word. In fact, people in this world have too much prejudice against the weak.
She comforted Anniu with tears in her eyes, "Anniu, don't be sad. You should ask your future husband what he thinks. If he thinks the same, then it's not too late for you to give up. If not, you can persist and see if you can change your future in-laws' minds."
