Chapter 6 Lu Yan's Help 2
On the way, Gu Leyou bit her lip and spoke for a long time, "Um...thank you for helping me, otherwise I would have been beaten again today."
"It's my duty." Lu Ting couldn't help but secretly glance at Gu Leyou, but his words remained calm.
"As for the ten-gold betrothal gift, you don't have to risk going into the mountains for it. This happened because of me, so I'll find a way to raise the money." Gu Leyou paused, then continued, "I don't know what she threatened you with, but it's an important matter. Don't worry, I won't implicate you again."
"It's not a burden." Lu Ting bowed his head and said, "It's proper etiquette to give a betrothal gift to someone when marrying him."
"What?" Gu Leyou was stunned. She originally thought that she could take out ten gold coins to shut Yang's mouth. They might not need to get married, but looking at Lu Ting's expression... did he really want to marry her?
In order to verify his guess, Gu Leyou said tactfully: "Brother Lu, if you really think we are suitable, you don't have to force it if you don't want to."
Hearing this, Lu Yan was stunned at first, but then he realized that he understood Gu Leyou's concerns.
Lu Yan said very seriously: "Miss Le You, don't worry. I am a real man. If I say it, I will do it. I will not regret the engagement. Besides, a girl's reputation is very important. I know what I should do."
Hearing Lu Yan say this, Gu Leyou was inexplicably moved.
The two walked side by side like this, and before they knew it, they arrived at Lu Yan's house.
Gu Leyou walked into the yard and called Lu Yao.
"Xiaoyao, sister is here to see you."
Lu Yao heard the noise and ran out of the house.
He ran to Gu Leyou, raised his little head, and asked innocently, "Sister, I heard from the neighbor's grandmother that you are going to be my mother. Is it true?"
Gu Leyou was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to answer. She looked at Lu Yan beside her, only to see the man nodded, tacitly agreeing with the child's statement.
Gu Leyou then squatted down, patted Xiaoyao's head lovingly, and said, "Yes, it won't be long before sister will become your mother, and it won't be long before we are a family of three."
Lu Yao was very happy to hear the news, and jumped around the two people.
Lu Yan was worried about his physical condition and quickly stopped him.
"Xiao Yao, you're not feeling well, don't get too excited."
Gu Leyou also said: "Yes, Xiaoyao, you have to be obedient and follow your sister into the house. Sister will show you."
Lu Yao nodded obediently and let Gu Leyou lead him into the house.
Gu Leyou helped him take off his shoes, let him lie on the bed, and felt his pulse.
The reason why the child is weak is because he has been poisoned, and the poison has only been suppressed temporarily. What a lovely child! It seems that she has to think of a way to cure this child.
Lu Yan poured a glass of water and walked into the room. Seeing Gu Leyou checking his son's pulse, he put the water on the table and walked over to ask, "Miss Gu, do you know medical skills?"
Seeing that he could no longer hide it, Gu Leyou had to admit generously, "I know a little bit. I met an old man a few years ago and learned a little from him, so I can treat some minor illnesses."
Gu Leyou didn't want to reveal too much, so he just lied.
When Lu Yan heard her say this, he just nodded and reminded her: "Remember to drink water." Then he left the house, walked outside, and sat on a chair in the yard.
After Gu Leyou took Lu Yao's pulse, he helped him up, put on his shoes for him, and took him to the yard to play.
Lu Yao came to the yard and squatted aside to play with stones. Gu Leyou walked to Lu Yan and said very embarrassedly, "Brother Lu, can you agree to a request of mine?"
Lu Yan stood up and bowed his head nervously, saying, "Miss Gu, please feel free to speak. As long as I can do it, I will definitely agree."
"Brother Lu, you don't have to do this. I just want you to keep it a secret for me and not let others know that I know medical skills. I'm sure they won't believe that a girl like me can actually treat illnesses."
"Okay, I promise. I will keep it a secret and won't let anyone else know." Lu Yan agreed readily.
Lu Yan thought about the last time he asked her to stay for dinner but she refused, so this time he asked her to stay again.
"Miss Gu, last time Lu invited you to dinner you didn't have time, and this time you came to see Xiaoyao specially, why don't you stay and have a simple meal."
After saying this, he looked forward to the other party's answer. Gu Leyou knew his good intentions, but if she didn't go back for too long, her family would get worried. Moreover, many people in the village gossiped about her last time she fell into the water, and she didn't want to be criticized again, so she refused again.
"Brother Lu, I appreciate your kindness, but it's almost noon, I should go back, otherwise my family will be worried."
Lu Yan also understood, so he did not force her to stay. He sent her to the gate of the courtyard and watched her leave.
But not long after Gu Leyou left, people in the village started gossiping again and the news quickly spread.
"I think this girl from the Gu family is just too immoral. She didn't know how to be quiet even after her engagement was cancelled. She even ran to this man's house."
"That's right, this girl is finished. I don't know how the Gu family educated her to make her like this. She has no sense of shame at all."
…
Some gossip soon spread. In the ears of Gu's father and mother.
As soon as Gu Leyou returned home and stepped into the yard, he felt that the atmosphere was a little strange.
When Gu Leshu saw his sister coming back, he hurried out to greet her, pulled Gu Leyou aside and whispered to her.
"Sister, you went to Uncle's house to ask for money, why did you come back only now? They said you went to Brother Lu's house again. What were you doing there?"
"I went to my uncle's house to ask for money and almost got into trouble. By chance, I met your brother Lu who helped me out. That's why I suggested going to his house to see his son. He agreed, and I went home with him." Gu Leyou told the truth.
When Mrs. Lin heard her daughter's voice, she also came out of the house. Just before her daughter came back, she and her husband heard some gossip about her daughter outside, and the two had a quarrel about it.
Afterwards, Gu Haixiong walked out with a gloomy face. He had always been very good to his two children, but as a grown man, he couldn't stand the pointing and criticizing of the neighbors.
"Now that you're back, come in quickly. Dad and Mom have something to tell you."
After saying this, Gu Haixiong put his hands behind his back and went back into the house.
As soon as Gu Leyou entered his yard, he felt that the atmosphere was wrong, otherwise his brother would not have asked such a question just now.
But she hadn't done anything wrong, so she was not afraid of her parents' questions.
So he followed his brother into the house generously.
She came in front of her father, pulled out a chair beside her and sat down. Her mother, Mrs. Lin, followed her in, found a place to sit down as well, and prepared to have a good talk with her daughter.
