Chapter 158 Solution
Gu Laoer took another puff of his pipe and said, "Forget it, forget it. You should learn from others and abandon your parents and run away with your children. Children will eventually leave home when they grow up. We can't control them. If you want to leave, leave as soon as possible. We won't be bothered if we don't see you."
When Gu Leyou heard her parents say this, she softened her heart. It seemed that she would have to delay for a while. Anyway, the matter her husband told her could not be resolved so quickly.
She couldn't take the child to the capital, so this was the only thing she could do.
So there was another delay.
It was a fine day, and she packed her luggage to say goodbye to her parents.
However, Mrs. Lin would never agree to her daughter leaving her hometown with her children.
In fact, they knew that the best friend was leaving today, and Gu Laoer had discussed it with his wife last night.
"We can't let our daughter leave home no matter what. If she leaves home and takes the child with her to find a son-in-law, she will be laughed at and thought that our village can't accommodate a family of four. So we should find a way to keep the three of them, an orphan and a widow, here."
So when Mrs. Lin saw her daughter pregnant, she knelt down in front of her daughter.
"My daughter, I begged you back then, please don't leave, okay? If you leave like this, your father and I will be the only ones left at home. What if someone gets sick or has a disaster? What if there's no one to turn to? We can't be laughed at by the people in the village, especially your uncle and aunt's family. If you feel like you have nothing to do, you can go and take care of your cousin Mingyue's affairs. As far as I know, her issue seems to have not been resolved yet."
Speaking of Gu Mingyue, Gu Leyou remembered that when he saw her some time ago, she was still at her parents' home and had not returned yet.
The other party didn't say he wanted to divorce or get a divorce, he just insisted.
So this matter has been delayed again and again until now, and there is still no solution.
"Father and mother, didn't you ask me not to take care of my uncle's affairs? Why are you so generous today and want me to take care of Mingyue's affairs? Besides, she's already married. As long as we talk it out, and the other party admits his mistake and promises not to hit me again, I think Mingyue can go back."
"Your grandma has already thought about this. I think you two sisters were born in the same month, and he is only one or two years older than you. You are of similar age, so you can talk about it. You can talk to him and see what he thinks. Do you want to isolate yourself from him? Or do you want a divorce letter from him? Then this matter can be resolved properly."
"Well, grandma has changed a lot, so as her granddaughter, I should help her solve her problems. You guys take care of the kids for me, and I'll be back soon."
It seems that the plan to go find her husband will have to be postponed again. After all, she has to deal with all the things at home before she can take the children to find him.
So he entrusted the child to his parents and went to his uncle's house.
My uncle's family is having breakfast.
When she saw Gu Mingyue, he seemed much more haggard. He used to be arrogant and domineering at home, but now he looked much more haggard. What was the reason?
"Why are you here, girl? Do you have something to do with us?" Yang asked unhappily.
"I came to talk to Sister Mingyue about something. Since you guys are having dinner, I'll wait in the yard for a while."
Gu Mingyue was a little confused. Gu Leyou hadn't come to their house for a long time. Why did he come today? Is there something wrong?
She suddenly had a bad feeling. Could it be that this girl came to see her just to laugh at her?
So after dinner, Gu Mingyue pulled Gu Leyou into her room.
"Tell me, why do you come to me? Who asked you to come to me?" Gu Mingyue asked directly to the point.
"Grandma asked me to come and see you. She said you've been at home for almost a month. Do you want to go back to your in-laws' house? You have to give them an explanation. How can a new bride run back home after a small conflict and stay there for a month? There has never been such a saying since ancient times."
Gu Mingyue sneered: "You are all talking without any pain. If you were in my situation at that time, you probably wouldn't say such things today."
"Gu Mingyue, you are just judging others by your own standards. We never want to see you make a fool of yourself. But if you don't solve your problem, they will come to us sooner or later. By then, you will have something to ask us for. It's better for us to give you some advice and solve the problem as soon as possible so that we can feel at ease. Grandma is old. Do you want to make her worry about your own affairs?"
Speaking of Old Lady Liu, Gu Mingyue was a little confused. She obviously loved her so much before, but why did she seem to have become a different person after she came back from her uncle's house? She seemed to dislike her in everything.
"You may not know the situation at home now that you are married. Grandma seems to think there is something wrong with me. I have an indescribable feeling. My father also seems to have an indescribable feeling. Could it be that they are hiding something from me? If you know something, please don't hide it from me. Tell me the truth."
When Gu Leyou heard this, he was very nervous, but he still remained calm.
"Don't worry, we all care about you and won't be shy. You have to resolve this matter as soon as possible and can't delay it any longer. Delaying it will do you no good."
"I want a divorce. What if she wants a divorce? I have no say in this matter. Besides, I don't like her and I don't want to marry her. But if grandma forced me to marry, then it's grandma's fault."
Gu Leyou felt helpless. This family was really the same kind of people. Whenever something went wrong or something happened, they would blame others.
"Do you want to divorce? Then ask your father and mother to talk to that family. Don't drag them down any longer. They only have one son. If you drag them down like this, they won't be able to find someone else. If they find someone else, it's their business how they live. You can stay at your parents' house peacefully without being talked about. Think about it carefully. That's all I have to say."
Just when Gu Leyou was about to leave, Gu Mingyue stopped her.
"How about you go with my parents and me tomorrow? You're better at talking, and there's nothing you can't do about it. If that family starts to act up, you'll have a plan for dealing with it."
This was the first time Gu Mingyue asked her sister for help, and it might also be the last time.
But then she changed her mind and thought that as a married girl, it would not be a good idea for her to get involved in the affairs of her sister's in-laws.
So she refused.
She said, "Mingyue, you are my cousin no matter what. Although we are not directly related by blood, you are my relative. However, I am already married and have become someone else's daughter-in-law. I cannot get involved in your in-laws' affairs, so it is not appropriate for me to go to this kind of occasion."
Gu Mingyue immediately became anxious when she heard this.
"Do you think this matter is difficult to handle and you should just ignore it? If I go and something happens, won't you feel guilty? Actually, I don't have to ask you to go. I just think you can do things a little better than me. If you go, things may be easier."
"I understand. I know you think this matter is difficult to handle, and you want to entrust it to someone who can do it for you. I will definitely find a way to help you solve this matter. After all, you are my cousin, and I can't watch you suffer. It's not that I can't push you into the pit of fire. Although you did things very badly in the past, you haven't caused trouble in this period of time, which shows that you have a repentant heart. If you can correct your mistakes, you are a good person."
After returning home, Gu Leyou immediately told his parents about helping Gu Mingyue.
Gu Lao Er agreed very readily.
Lin was quite worried.
"My daughter, we should not interfere in their affairs. If they don't do it themselves and ask you to do it, it's nothing more than they think you are easy to bully. We can't take this risk. If something happens to you over there, how will mother live? Your brother is far away, and you are the only one around them."
Gu Leyou still decided to follow her own inner thoughts, so she planned to go to her sister's in-laws' house with her uncle and aunt the next day.
Early the next morning, Gu Leyou followed them.
The group arrived at the village where Gu Mingyue's mother-in-law lived. Under an old tree at the entrance of the village, several women were chatting while sewing shoe soles. When they saw them coming, they started muttering to themselves.
"Look, the daughter-in-law of the Chen family in the east of our village is back. She has been living in her parents' home for more than a month before returning. Maybe she was disliked by her parents' family, so she ran back to her husband's home without face."
"I think so too. What kind of a person is Chen Jiang? He actually wants to beat the newly married daughter-in-law so that she will behave herself. This is the first time I have heard such words in my old age."
The courtyard door of Gu Mingyue's mother-in-law's house was half-open. Uncle Gu Laoda raised his hand and knocked on the door. The door opened with a creaky sound, and Gu Mingyue's mother-in-law walked out with a dark face.
"Oh, the strong wind has brought you all here. My daughter-in-law, you finally came back. My son has been thinking about you these days and has decided not to beat you anymore. Come back."
How coldly these words were spoken.
On the way back, Gu Mingyue had figured it all out. No matter what, she was unwilling to go back to her husband's house. She came here today to ask for a divorce letter.
"Aunt Chen, that's not necessary. I came here today to ask for a divorce or a divorce letter. If you want to give it to me, then give it to me. If not, forget it. I will never come back to your house anyway. I think no woman in the world would dare to marry into your family."
When Gu Leyou heard this, he quickly gave his sister a look and told her to stop talking.
If you make the other party angry, he won't give you anything.
Gu Mingyue shut up.
Gu Leyou began to say, "Mother-in-law, this may be the last time I call you mother-in-law. It is wrong for your son to hit my sister. No newlywed husband in the world would hit his newlywed wife. This is the etiquette of your Chen family. It is really unheard of. After my sister ran back to her parents' home, you didn't go to visit her. This is your etiquette. Your Chen family is really powerful. Isn't it just relying on your son to do a small business in town?"
"You girl, we are all elders. As a junior, how dare you talk to us like this? What do you mean? Besides, my son is running a small business in town and he has offended you. Is it necessary for you to say that to him?" Gu Mingyue's mother-in-law came back directly.
"Enough of that. Do you know how to read?" Gu Leyou asked.
"My son knows some people who can write a divorce letter, but a divorce letter is impossible."
Gu Leyou asked the three people who followed him.
"Uncle, aunt and cousin, which one do you want? They have made it clear that they can only give a divorce letter. Do you have anything to say? Or do you agree with their opinion and just want a divorce letter?"
"Just giving them a divorce letter would be too easy for them. They beat my daughter like this not long after getting married. If this gets out, my daughter will think she is still a bad person. People who don't know will think my daughter has made some mistakes. They must explain it to them clearly, otherwise I will never forgive them in the future."
The relationship was almost at a breaking point, and Gu Mingyue's mother-in-law didn't give her in-laws or their mother-in-law any face, and directly revealed all the ugly things that Gu Mingyue had done in the past.
"The story of your daughter and the foreign doctor in your village has spread everywhere. Everyone in the area knows about it. You were just afraid that your daughter wouldn't be able to get married, so you asked your old woman to tell us. We later found out what happened. You were already in the wrong, but you still dared to come to our door with such confidence. I've never seen anything like this before."
No matter what, Gu Mingyue is still Gu Leyou's family member, and she really couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
No matter how outrageous her cousin's behavior was, her surname was Gu, and she had the same surname as him, and they were family members anyway. How could she allow her in-laws to insult her like this?
"What you said is wrong. No matter what my sister did wrong, it's all in the past. She married into your family and is your daughter-in-law. You should treat her well. How can you say such things? Do you think it's the last moment and you can tear your face apart, so you say such harsh words. Do you think this is appropriate?"
"What our niece said is right. It's wrong for you to behave like this, you know? When we walked into your village just now, several aunties in the village were discussing this matter. They all felt that it was wrong for your daughter-in-law to be beaten by you just a few days after she got married. No parent in the world would have the heart to watch their daughter suffer, let alone marry their daughter into such a family."
These words were said by the eldest son of the Gu family.
After all, she is my own daughter. I have raised her for so many years and I have deep feelings for her.
