Chapter 136 God's Will
Anniu sobbed and replied, "He is honest and looks like a filial child. He will definitely listen to his parents and will definitely not insist. Then it will be useless for me to insist on my own. After all, the arm cannot twist the thigh. I read this in a book."
What he said was absolutely correct. It seemed that this girl knew everything. However, Gu Leyou also had the idea that it would rather destroy a temple than ruin a marriage.
Therefore, as to whether this marriage will be successful or not, we can only give positive advice and not negative advice.
When the son of the Li family heard the news, he was almost mad at his parents. He is now recovering from a leg injury, and it will take a few more days for him to recover. He has no idea how serious the situation will become.
He even wanted to go on a hunger strike to protest his parents' arranged marriage for him.
In fact, he was a little lame, and it was already good enough for him to marry a woman like Annu. He didn't dare to ask for more from others, so he only set his sights on Annu. If his parents didn't allow him to marry Aniu, then he could leave home. He wanted to be a son-in-law of the village chief of Gujia Village, but he did not tell his parents about this idea. If his parents insisted on not agreeing, they would lose their only son.
So he planned to have a good talk with his parents tonight. If they really couldn't convince him, then he would think about becoming a live-in son-in-law. After all, this matter cannot be rushed. If he is rushed, his parents only have him as their son, and he only has his parents as his living relatives.
That night after the family finished dinner.
He called Li's parents to the yard, and the three of them sat in the yard and had a good chat.
"Dad and Mom, what do you think about the daughter of the village chief of Gujia Village being my daughter-in-law? Tell me the truth."
The old couple didn't know how to answer their son's question. After all, they were still hesitating whether or not to cancel the engagement. If they did, it would mean that they were sorry for the girl. If they didn't, they were afraid that their family would get into trouble.
His father finally couldn't help but ask, "Do you really like that girl?"
He asked back, “Don’t you like it?”
His parents didn't know how to answer because they were satisfied with this daughter-in-law before. If it hadn't rained on the wedding day and their son had fallen, they would have agreed.
Now they are also hesitant. After all, the girl is very hardworking, and they have no fault with her. However, there are rumors outside that the girl is an unlucky person. If he marries her, some trouble will inevitably occur. After all, they only have this one son in the family and they rely on him to carry on the family line.
If anything happens to this child, they will not be able to survive. It is absolutely impossible.
Father Li sighed and said slowly, "Son, we don't have any objection to that girl. She is indeed diligent and sensible.
But you also know that the rumors outside are too strong, what if..."
Father Li hesitated to speak, his brows twisted into a knot.
Mother Li also wiped away tears, "Yes, son, we only have you as our son. We are really worried that if you marry her, your life will be uneasy. We are doing this for your own good, please don't blame us."
The son of the Li family clenched his fists, and was a little emotional: "Mom and Dad, those are all unfounded rumors! Anniu is kind and considerate. During the time I was injured, she tried every day to take care of me. She even became sick from worry. Where can you find a girl like her?"
Father Li was silent for a moment, then looked up at his son and said, "Then tell me, if we really marry her and there are constant rumors outside, what will our family do? How can we hold our heads up high in the village in the future?"
"Dad, we can't control other people's mouths. But we have to live our own lives. As long as our family is united, those rumors will always pass." The son of the Li family looked at his parents with a firm gaze.
Mother Li shook her head helplessly. "That's what she said, but it's not that easy to face those rumors."
"I'm telling you, if you don't agree, then I'll be their son-in-law. If you don't want to lose my son, then quickly agree to my marrying that girl. If you don't agree, then when I recover from my illness, I'll go to their house and be their son-in-law. I only have these two options for you to choose from, so decide for yourself."
After saying that, he limped into the house.
The old couple were left sitting in the yard feeling a little depressed. What did their son mean? Has he already colluded with that girl and is going to become her son-in-law? That's absolutely not possible. If he were to become someone else's son-in-law, he would not be able to survive.
If he becomes a son-in-law to their family, the children they have in the future will have to take the girl's maiden name, and the family line on their side will be cut off. If this continues, then his whole life would have been in vain. This is absolutely not acceptable.
So he discussed it with his wife.
"Old woman, do you think that we should marry that girl to our son? Or you can discuss it with your future in-laws and mother-in-law, and choose an auspicious day to marry the girl. Our son is a man of his word.
Besides, he is so honest. If he is really pushed into a corner and becomes someone else's son-in-law, it would be a loss for our family. ”
"You old man are really confused. If something happens to that girl after she is married into the family, our family will have no peace. It is better to break off this marriage. Why don't you understand? Besides, our son is the most obedient. As long as we persuade him well, everything will be fine. If we choose a better girl for him and choose an auspicious day to marry him, everything will be fine. After a while, he will develop feelings with the new girl and forget about the girl from Gujia Village."
Matters of the heart are not easy to deal with. If we could really forget them, there wouldn’t be so many problems.
Anniu has not eaten or drunk anything at home these days and has lost a lot of weight. Since she recovered from her illness, she has become a completely different person. Her parents are very worried.
Anniu's parents were distressed. Anniu's mother sat by the bed, gently stroking Anniu's hair, her eyes reddened: "My daughter, please don't hurt yourself, your health is important."
Anniu just stared out the window blankly, ignoring her mother's words.
On the other side, the argument between Li’s parents continued.
Father Li stamped his feet in anxiety: "Your idea is too foolish! Our son has chosen Anniu, how can he be happy if you find someone else for him?
If you are unhappy every day, how can you live a good life? ”
Li's mother was not to be outdone and raised her voice: "That's better than marrying a daughter-in-law who is said to be unlucky! How can we bear it if everyone in the village points fingers at us behind our backs!"
The two of them insisted on their own opinions and neither could convince the other, so they parted unhappily in the end.
The next day, the young man of the Li family, despite his parents' opposition, secretly left home and planned to find his future father-in-law and mother-in-law to make things clear.
If that doesn't work, he won't come back and will just stay in Gujia Village and become a son-in-law of the village chief.
Anyway, it was his parents' own choice and he couldn't stop them. Who told them to be disobedient?
This is their own choice, they can't blame others.
After breakfast, the village chief goes to work in the fields alone. His wife stays here to look after her little daughter. After all, the daughter's condition is very unstable now.
Just then, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door.
Then, a voice sounded in the yard: "Uncle village chief, aunt, I am the boy from the Li family!"
The village chief and his wife looked at each other in surprise.
The village chief's wife quickly got up and went to the door. She saw the young man from the Li family limping there, his face full of anxiety and fatigue, with some dust on his clothes. It was obvious that he had hurried all the way here.
"Child, why are you here?" asked the village chief's wife.
The young man from the Li family didn't even have time to catch his breath and said directly: "Uncle, aunt, I know that your daughter Anniu has been wronged because of me. I came here today just to make things clear to you. I have decided on Anniu, and I will marry her regardless of whether my parents agree or not!"
The village chief frowned, his expression a little serious: "Child, marriage is not a joke. It has always been decided by parents and matchmakers. If your parents don't agree, this matter will be difficult to handle."
“Uncle, my parents hesitated because they believed those rumors.
But we all know what kind of person Anniu is, and those rumors are nothing but groundless rumors. ”
The young man from the Li family was very emotional, his eyes were red, "We really like each other, we can't give up on each other just because our parents stop us, it's too unfair to both of us."
"But if your parents don't agree, our Anniu can't marry you. You two can't just keep dragging it on here. Even if you can afford to wait, our Aniu can't. If you can't make the decision for your parents, then I think you'd better forget about this marriage." The village chief replied solemnly.
Anniu, who was in the house, heard the noise, ran out and saw the young man from the Li family.
The young couple knelt in front of their parents.
"Mom and Dad, we have already decided on each other, so please both of you must help us. I know what kind of person I am. We are not afraid of the rumors outside, but we are afraid that you will also give up on us."
Facing these two children and giving them such a big gift, the village head and his wife felt very embarrassed. Could it be that these two children could really be together? Was it God's will?
At this time, the young man from the Li family expressed his thoughts.
"Uncle and aunt of the village head, don't worry. Although Anniu and I didn't visit to clarify, I have already won the expansion. My bridal sedan has already arrived at your door that day. She is already my wife. I definitely can't convince my parents. I have always been a filial child, so this is the only way."
"What method?" asked the village chief's wife.
"That means I will be your son-in-law. I will marry into your family, and then my parents won't have any choice. But you have to give my and Anniu's child my last name, so they can't say anything."
The village chief and his wife looked at each other and felt that what he said made sense.
This can not only solve the other party's concerns, but also make your daughter happier.
Li's parents' side.
After Li's parents discovered that their son was missing, they thought about what their son had said and guessed where he had gone.
Father Li even blamed his own wife.
"It's all your son's fault. He must have married into her daughter's family. Our family's lineage will end with me. If you hadn't insisted on going out to buy things, we wouldn't have this one child. This is all God's will."
"Why are you still blaming me? Go to their house and find the child. Do you really want to end your family lineage?"
When Mr. Li heard this, he was so angry that he slapped his wife in the face.
"What nonsense are you talking about? My son is alive and well, he is not dead, how can I be extinct? If my son really wants to be a son-in-law, then the children they have in the future should take the girl's surname, and then our family will really have no successor to continue the incense."
They talked as they walked, and were in a hurry to get to Gujia Village. If they went to Gujia Village now, they might not arrive until dark.
For the sake of their son's marriage, they have to try their best. Even if their son doesn't want to come back, they have to persuade him with reason and emotion.
They must make their son give up the idea of marrying that girl, otherwise all their efforts will be in vain.
It was already evening when they arrived at Gujia Village.
The young man from the Li family stayed at the village chief's house for dinner.
Gu Leyou also saw it when he delivered medicinal herbs to their home.
So he spoke to the young men of the Li family alone, and advised them like someone who had been through it all.
"Young man, we are about the same age. I have something to say. If you really love each other, then think of a compromise so that the elders will agree with your approach. Then you can be together. If you two don't really love each other, then give up and try another way."
As soon as Gu Leyou finished speaking, there was another knock on the door of the village chief's yard.
Who could it be at this late hour?
They became very alert. After all, it was pitch dark and they might be coming with bad intentions.
The village chief was thinking about settling accounts with Yang after he had dealt with his own affairs.
In fact, this incident has a lot to do with Yang, the head of the Gu family.
The village chief's wife still went to open the door. After opening the door and seeing the person coming, they felt relieved. Fortunately, it was not someone who was causing trouble.
It turned out to be Li’s parents. It seemed they were here to look for their son.
So the village chief and his wife welcomed Li’s parents in.
If there is anything, the two parents and the two children can only sit down and have a good talk.
Seeing that they had important matters to discuss, Gu Leyou left and closed the door for them, leaving them some time.
