Chapter 159 Meeting an Old Friend
Soon, the mother-in-law asked someone to call her son back.
What they finally agreed to was a letter of divorce, saying that Gu Mingyue had no talent or virtue and was not worthy of their son.
In order to get out of their family as soon as possible and get over the shadow of being beaten, Gu Mingyue had to agree. Yang felt that if she let her daughter suffer any more injustice, she would not be worthy of being her mother.
After Chen's son came back, he immediately wrote a divorce letter, signed his name on it, and threw it to Gu Mingyue.
He said coldly, "You are so ungrateful. I just beat you up. It will only hurt, but you won't be disabled. If you have to go back to your parents' home and divorce me, I will divorce you."
Gu Mingyue took the divorce letter and sneered: "Although I was divorced, I am not so easy to bully. What do you think will happen? I am not the kind of woman who allows others to bully me. Although I am a farm girl, I have plenty of strength. I was beaten by you, so I owe you. Now I have paid it back. We don't owe each other anything. Let's part ways and live happily."
After that, she told her parents and Gu Leyou, "We've got the stuff, let's go quickly, or it will be dark by the time we get back."
After leaving Chen's house, they walked in the village.
The people in the village pointed fingers at them behind their backs.
"Look at what the Chen family's daughter-in-law is holding in her hand? Is it a divorce letter? Or a divorce letter? Who is cheating whom? Another girl is suffering."
"Don't talk nonsense. It seems that he has only married this girl. How could he have married anyone else? Don't let them hear it. If they do, it will cause you trouble. The Chen family will come after you."
Gu Leyou heard all of this and quietly left the crowd, planning to stay in the village and find out what was going on with the Chen family. What do you mean another girl is suffering? Were they married before? This is another story of marriage fraud.
She came to a big tree. There were few people there, only a few old ladies walking there, so she asked over there.
"Old lady, I want to ask you about someone. How is the son of the Chen family in the east of the village? I heard that he got married a few days ago. She's a pretty girl."
"Girl, you are talking about the son of the Chen family in the east of the village, right? He did marry a wife some time ago, but he beat her up a few days after the wedding and sent her back to her parents' home. She has never returned since. Many people in this village know about this. By the way, girl, who are you?"
"I am a distant relative of the daughter-in-law of the Chen family. I heard from my mother that my distant cousin got married, so I came here specially to see her. What is going on? How come the daughter-in-law who just got married went back to her parents' home?"
"I heard that beating people is hereditary because the old man of the Chen family also beat people, and it has been passed down to the current generation of the Chen family. It is said that it is a warning to the newly married daughter-in-law. We all know this. I heard that before marrying this daughter-in-law, the son of the Chen family also met girls from other families, but the parents of the other family were more cautious and found out about this matter when they asked around, so the matter was left unresolved."
The two mothers-in-law told the story together.
Now Gu Leyou understood completely.
It seems that the family also belongs to the category of marriage fraud.
It turned out that the girl couldn't accept the rule of beating people in their family, so she refused to follow him.
It's also grandma's fault for being too impatient. She wanted to get everything clear before settling on such a marriage. She thought that the other person looked honest, but in fact, he was more vicious than snakes and scorpions behind the scenes. How could a daughter-in-law beat someone just a few days after marrying him? It's really unheard of.
It seems that I have to tell grandma about this when I get back, and ask her to reflect on her mistakes. Otherwise, grandma will probably blame her for the fact that he brought his uncle, aunt and cousin to their house today to get a divorce.
She hurried to catch up with her uncle's family, otherwise they would become suspicious.
When they returned to Gujia Village, he still followed his uncle back to their home.
Although Gu Mingyue was very grateful to her sister for helping her, she had already returned home and it seemed that there was nothing she needed anymore.
"Thank you very much for helping me get the divorce papers back. I originally wanted a divorce letter, but they only gave me a divorce paper. That's good too. At least I have nothing to do with their family now."
"I came back with you just to tell you the details. I also wanted to tell Grandma the details. Otherwise, she would blame me for taking you to ask for a divorce or a divorce letter on my own initiative. I don't want to do something that will only get you a thankless task."
The uncle was very grateful for Gu Leyou's great help this time, so he nodded readily at his words.
Old Mrs. Liu was a little angry when she saw them come back. After all, the marriage she had worked so hard to arrange was broken off just like that.
Now Gu Mingyue will have to stay at home for a long time. If one day I can't stand the mother and daughter together and tell her about my life story, then things will definitely get out of control.
"What happened after you went there? Was the problem resolved?" Old Mrs. Liu asked reluctantly. After all, this was her granddaughter who had lived with her for more than 20 years, and she couldn't bear to see her suffer.
"Don't worry, grandma. It's resolved. The other party just said they would give me a divorce letter, and we got it back. But there is one more thing I need to tell you. Once you are all done, I will tell you slowly."
Looking at Gu Leyou, who seemed solemn, Gu Mingyue had a bad feeling. Could it be that what he was about to say was something bad? How much could he bear it?
Gu Leyou looked at them with a serious expression, then slowly spoke.
"Do you think the mother and son of the Chen family are good people? In fact, they are a very bad family. Before marrying you, they mentioned a family, but the parents of that family were smarter and had already asked about the family's situation in advance. When they heard that the family had a habit of beating people, they immediately disagreed with the marriage, so the son of the Chen family could not marry."
"Speaking of this matter, I blame your mother. If she hadn't been so anxious to marry the girl off, why was she beaten? I told her that she agreed to do something bad so readily, but you didn't believe me. You also said that you had raised the girl for more than 10 years and that the elders would not harm her. But in the end, she still harmed her and got beaten." Yang complained.
After all, she was sorry for her poor daughter. If she had not done that foolish thing, her daughter would not have suffered.
"What? Their family actually cheated on their marriage. I have to go and settle the score with them. I am not that foolish. Their family didn't tell the truth. It was also my fault that I was too impatient. Boss, you come with me. I must ask them in front of them what is going on. Don't cheat other people's girls again."
Gu Leyou stopped him.
"Grandma, you are old, don't argue with them. Anyway, my cousin doesn't have to go back to her husband's house. Now we have to wait until she recovers and feels better, and then we can find a good marriage for her. But you have to discuss this with uncle and aunt. After all, they are Mingyue's parents, and you are just an elder."
Gu Leyou's tone of voice sounded as if he was lecturing someone.
This matter has passed for the time being.
Summer goes and autumn comes.
The weather is getting cooler.
Every household in the village is busy with the autumn harvest.
Gu Leyou's family was also busy, they planted some crops in the fields. Yesterday he handed his child to his parents, and then took the crops to the market to sell.
On the way back after selling the things, I met a familiar person at the intersection of the market.
It was a girl, and this girl was Liu Suyu.
When I saw this woman again, she had matured a lot.
So she stepped forward and said hello.
"Miss Liu, didn't you leave with your parents? Why are you back? Are you worried about your son? I guess your son should be two or three years old now."
"I came back just to see my son. I wanted to see how he was doing in that wealthy family. After all, when he was born, the wife of that wealthy family didn't want me to see him. But now, two or three years have passed, so things should have changed."
"Have you seen your son?" Gu Leyou asked.
"No, the guest at the door told me that the eldest lady took the young master back to her parents' home and has not returned yet. I don't know when they will return. I don't know whether what they said is true or false. They don't want me to go in. I can't see my son, so I don't know whether what they said is true or false."
"Then you stay at my house for a few days, but don't let the villagers find out. You told me last time that this wealthy family would buy vegetables every few days. I will contact the buyers first and sell them my vegetables. I will also ask them whether your son is at home or has gone to another place with his aunt."
A glimmer of hope welled up in Liu Suyu's eyes. She held Gu Leyou's hand tightly, her voice choking slightly: "Leyou, if it weren't for you, I really don't know what to do.
On the way back, my heart was filled with longing for my son, but I encountered obstacles everywhere. ”
Gu Leyou patted her hand and comforted her: "Don't worry, now that you are back, there will always be a way. Let's take it step by step."
The two of them quietly returned to Gujia Village. Gu Leyou arranged for Liu Suyu to live in a small house in his backyard, and told his family not to tell anyone. After all, if the villagers knew about it, especially the village chief, even their family would be implicated.
She got up before dawn that day, carefully selected the freshest vegetables, and after preparation, went to the market early, waiting to meet the buyers.
Finally, in a corner of the market, Gu Leyou saw the familiar figure.
She took a deep breath and walked forward quickly: "Brother, I have some fresh vegetables, all grown at home. Are you interested?"
The buyer looked at Gu Leyou's vegetables and nodded: "They look good, but our family has high requirements. Can you guarantee the quantity and quality of the daily supply?"
Gu Leyou quickly responded: "Yes, yes, brother, rest assured, I will follow your request."
Two days after he got in touch with the purchasing man, he slowly inquired about the situation of the young master in Fuli.
"My dear, I heard that your master is over fifty years old and has a son. The little boy is very cute. Your master is so lucky. There will be someone to inherit this huge fortune in the future."
"Who says he isn't? This young master was born to the Fifth Aunt. However, the Fifth Aunt left here a year ago. I heard that she offended the First Madam and was almost killed by her."
After learning the details, Gu Leyou returned home and told Liu Suyu what he had learned. Liu Suyu was full of gratitude after listening, and then she also told him about her own experience.
"I'm telling you, back then, I was being hunted by the Madam's men, and I had to drink a mute potion that made me mute for a while. Until a year ago, I met an old man who was highly respected and had great medical skills. I really didn't want to be unable to speak anymore, so I begged my father. At first, my father disagreed, fearing that I would cause trouble if I spoke. Later, after repeated pressure from my mother and I, and even threatening to die, my father finally agreed to let me go find that old man. Finally, after a year or so of treatment, I got better. After I got better, I rested for a few more days, and then I said goodbye to my parents and got up. I came back here, and I didn't expect to meet you as soon as I came back."
"Then what are you going to do? Just wait like this? My husband is not at home, and I can't think of any good solution. The two of us can't compete with so many of them. We must think of a way, because I can't ask too much, and I'm not sure if your son is in the mansion of the rich family. If you want to take your son out, there is only one way, but that half-grown old man is also your son's biological father. If you want to take your son out, he won't be able to enjoy the glory and wealth. If you keep him in the mansion, you won't be able to see him. You should consider which is more important."
Liu Suyu was in a dilemma for a moment.
It's not a good idea to accept the answer, nor is it a good idea to not accept the answer. However, she is her son's biological mother after all. Although it cannot be said that the mother and son are connected by heart, she wonders if her son will be able to recognize her as his biological mother even if she appears in front of him.
Gu Le saw her dilemma again, so he tried to persuade her patiently.
"Don't be in a hurry about this matter. Think about it carefully. Nothing will happen to your son. If they wanted to do something to your son, they should have killed him when he was born. They shouldn't have let him live in this world for several years. So your child will not be in any danger. After all, they still want him to inherit the family property. Think about it carefully. If you want to recognize your son, we have to plan this matter. If you don't want to recognize him, you have to make plans for yourself."
Liu Suyu nodded seriously. She really needed to plan for the future and think carefully about what to do.
