Chapter 21 Very Satisfied 1
Lu Yan felt ashamed of Gu Haixiong's behavior, and he quickly stood up and helped his future father-in-law.
"Uncle, don't be like this. We are almost a family. It's okay." Lu Yanping said calmly.
Then the four of them sat down and chatted again.
"I just said that we are marrying our daughter, not selling her, so you only need to give half of the ten taels of betrothal money, and it should be given to our family, not to my sister-in-law."
"Uncle, we have agreed on how much it is. You don't have to compromise. I can still afford the ten taels of betrothal money."
Gu Le felt that the other party was just being stubborn because he was too embarrassed to refuse, so he helped and said, "Brother Lu, my family is a reasonable family and we will never force you with the gift. As for how much the gift should be, we have already discussed it. Just listen to my father."
"Yes, child, we also know that it is not easy for you to raise a child alone, and we don't want to force you to pay a particularly large dowry. If you don't live well at that time, my daughter will also suffer if she marries him."
This was said by Lin.
As parents, loving their children is the most important thing. Gu Leyou's eyes were inexplicably red.
The parents in front of her really loved him and cared about him in everything, but the words had been said and the thing had happened, so she had to agree.
"Uncle and aunt, I understand what you mean. I solemnly promise here that if your daughter marries me, I will let her live a happy life, and my children will respect her as their own mother." Lu Yan promised solemnly.
Listening to the hunter's serious assurance, they believed in the hunter's character. After all, this hunter had lived in their village for a long time and no bad things had been reported about him. He seemed to be a law-abiding man and should be a good man. As parents, they should believe in their daughter's judgment.
Just then, there was a rapid knock on the door, followed by an ugly curse.
"Everyone from the second family, get out here. If you don't give me an explanation today, no one will have a good life."
This voice is so familiar.
Why is my aunt here at this time?
There must be something bad happening when this aunt comes.
Gu Leyou then remembered that when she went out in the morning, Gu Mingyue came and made a fuss. She had no idea how the situation was resolved after that. When she came back in the afternoon, Gu Mingyue had already gone home. Unexpectedly, not long after that, her aunt came to visit.
Forget it, if the enemy comes, we will fight him with our soldiers; if the water comes, we will block it with earth.
But this matter is none of Brother Lu and the others’ business, so before opening the door.
Gu Leyou picked up Lu Yao and pulled Lu Yan towards the inner room.
In the inner room, Gu Leyou said, "No matter what happens later, don't go out. It will be bad if my Da Mengmeng finds you here."
"What are you afraid of? We haven't done anything wrong. Let's go see her together." Lu Yan looked righteous.
"I can't explain it to you in just a few words. Anyway, don't come out or make any noise. Leave the rest to us."
After saying that, Gu Leyou left the inner room and walked towards the yard, considerately closing the door.
The eldest aunt is a very difficult person to deal with. If she knew that Lu Yan and his son were at their house, she would definitely ask him for money, which would cause another stir.
She doesn't want to go through so much trouble.
Walking into the yard, Gu Leyou said, "Dad, please open the door. I want to see what the aunt wants to talk to us about."
Gu Haixiong quickly opened the door.
I saw my eldest sister-in-law Yang standing at the door. When she saw the door was opened, she rushed in and started cursing again while standing in the yard.
"You are all the same kind of people. My daughter came to you with good intentions, but you beat her up. You don't act like elders at all."
"What do you mean you beat her?" Gu Haixiong and his wife didn't understand what their elder sister-in-law Yang was saying at all.
They never hit anyone from beginning to end, right?
How could he possibly beat up a junior?
It was clearly their daughter who was unreasonable and refused to leave even after being given money. In the end, it was a kind-hearted neighbor who persuaded her to leave. How come they were the ones who suffered in the end?
Gu Leyou didn’t understand what happened during the time he was away from home?
So she didn't believe what her aunt said.
"Aunt, those words you said, and the injuries on my cousin's body, are all said by you and seen by you. You said my parents beat people, but you were not at our house at the time. How can you be sure that it was our family who did it?"
After being reminded by their daughter, the couple felt more confident.
It seems that my sister-in-law is here to extort money.
So Gu Haixiong got straight to the point and said, "Sister-in-law, there's no need to say anything else. Just tell me the real purpose of your coming here."
Sister-in-law Yang stopped pretending. She just wanted to make some money. Now that they had seen through her, she decided to tell them her purpose.
"My daughter's medical expenses and the money owed to our family total eleven taels of silver. Please give it to me. As soon as I get the money, I will leave immediately. I will not stay in your house for a moment longer."
Gu Leyou found it ridiculous to hear his aunt asking for so much money, eleven taels of silver at that.
So, she asked coldly, "Aunt, are you so sure that we will give you the money? And what is the basis for you asking for these eleven taels of silver?"
Aunt Yang explained, "That one tael of silver is for my daughter's medical expenses, and the ten taels of silver are for my medical expenses plus nutrition expenses. Also, I can't go out to work these days, so there is no source of income for the family."
Gu Leyou thought it was a little ridiculous. If that was the way his great aunt calculated, then their family should also settle with his great aunt's family.
So Gu Leyou said to Lin: "Mom, go into the house and take out our abacus. I also want to settle accounts with my aunt, and I want to settle both old and new accounts."
Seeing that his daughter was serious, Gu Haixiong decided to play the good guy again.
He advised: "My daughter, although your aunt's family and I have separated, your uncle and I are still brothers. There is no need to tear each other apart. These are our affairs, and you, a little girl, don't need to get involved."
“…”
Gu Leyou was helpless and said, "Dad, you should know that brothers should settle accounts clearly. Since their family is unwilling to let us go, there is no need for us to be polite to them."
Lin just stood there, not knowing whether to listen to her husband or her daughter.
Seeing that Lin was still standing there, Gu Leyou urged, "Mom, hurry up, don't let your aunt wait anxiously."
Lin quickly trotted into the house.
Seeing this, Lu Yan took the initiative to step forward and ask, "Aunt, do you need help?"
