Chapter 88 It's Ridiculous
The Shi family's parents were too embarrassed to stay any longer.
After a few pleasantries, he said goodbye.
After returning home, Shi's father was furious. He pointed at his daughter's nose and started scolding her.
"How could I give birth to such a shameless thing like you? I went to the Gu family with your mother today and lost face. The boy in their family didn't like you at all. He said that he wanted to take the imperial examination and had no plans to marry."
"I don't believe it." Shi Yuechan's eyes were red, tears welled up in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall.
"He and I grew up together, and he was always so gentle when he spoke to me. How could he not be interested in me?"
When Father Shi heard this, he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. He raised his hand to hit her, but stopped in mid-air, "You silly girl, you are still dreaming here! He treats you as a sister, and you are his sister's good friend. It is impossible for him not to be embarrassed and speak gently to you."
"So what? Didn't he say that he would consider marrying after he passed the imperial examination? Then I will wait until he passes the imperial examination and then I will marry him."
Mother Shi said with a look of disappointment: "If he never passes the imperial examination, do you want us to support you forever? We can't live that long."
"Then I will become a nun. It's better than marrying a sickly person. I think marrying my best friend's brother is better than marrying a sickly person. But if you insist on me marrying a sickly person, then I will become a nun."
The Shi couple were so choked by their daughter's words that they were unable to answer.
How could they have given birth to such a bastard, so stubborn.
If the news that she wanted to become a nun got out, wouldn't people be laughing at her?
Those who like to gossip will definitely say that the girls in their family can't get married, so they were sent to a nunnery.
Then the couple would definitely lose face and would want to find a place to hide and end the matter.
The daughter's marriage has now become the only headache for the old couple.
Neither this nor that works.
Early that morning, Shi Yuechan packed her bags, made breakfast for her parents, and then quietly went out the back door.
She had already found out that there was a temple on the mountain, and she really wanted to become a nun. If she stayed at home anyway, her parents would sooner or later try every means to marry her off to someone they didn't like.
Instead of this, it is better to be accompanied by the ancient Buddha and the green lamp.
It takes an hour and a half to walk from their home to the temple.
By the time Shi's parents discovered that their daughter was gone, she had already been gone for a long time.
Shi's mother cried and blamed her husband for speaking to their daughter like that. If their daughter left this time, she might never come back. They felt something was wrong because their daughter was very emotional yesterday.
"It's over, old man. Our daughter is not going to become a nun, is she? Then everything will be over."
"We are going to settle accounts with that kid from the Gu family. If it weren't for their instigation, our daughter wouldn't have become a nun."
"You are right, old man. We have to go and settle accounts with them and ask them to compensate us for our daughter. If a good daughter leaves home, then there will be no hope for our family."
Their daughter has a good skill and has studied for a long time. She is famous in the surrounding villages. If their daughter becomes a nun, their family will lose its source of income.
This is a huge loss.
Mr. and Mrs. Shi were filled with rage and rushed to the Gu family in a hurry.
Gu Leshu from the Gu family was studying hard in his room. When he heard that the Shi family's parents were coming, his heart skipped a beat and he had a premonition.
As soon as Father Shi entered the room, he shouted at the top of his voice without any regard for etiquette: "Gu Leshu, come out! What have you done to my daughter? She has run away from home and wants to become a nun. You must give me an explanation!"
Gu Leshu hurried out of his room and saw Mr. Shi’s flushed face and Mrs. Shi’s tearful eyes, and his heart was filled with guilt.
"Uncle and aunt, I'm sorry. I really have no intention of getting married right now. I really didn't know that I would hurt Sister A Yue."
"What kind of thing are you doing? My daughter is getting married, and your sister said she could marry you, so my daughter thought you were interested in her. But I didn't expect that you two siblings teamed up to trick her, and now she wants to become a nun."
"Uncle, aunt, sister A Yue must have misunderstood what my sister meant. Why don't we go find my sister and ask her what's going on?"
So they hurried to Lu Yan's house.
Gu Leyou was taking her child home. When they arrived, Gu Leyou had not returned yet.
Today he took his child to collect herbs, hoping to develop a medicine that can cure the poison in the child as soon as possible.
When Shi's parents saw that no one was at Lu Yan's house, they blamed the boy from the Gu family again.
Father Shi asked, "Did you tip off your sister again? That's why your sister ran away with the child because she was afraid that we would cause trouble for them?"
Gu Leshu looked aggrieved. "What are you talking about, uncle and aunt? I came here with my aunt, how could I have foreseen the future and told my sister to run away?"
Father Shi snorted coldly, "This is not the best."
They waited at the door of Lu Yan's house for about half an hour before Gu Leyou came back with the child.
When he saw Mr. and Mrs. Shi and his younger brother standing at the door, he guessed what was going on. It must be because they knew that he had asked his best friend to marry his younger brother.
He must have come to find me and call me to account.
Gu Leyou hurried forward and bowed apologetically, "Uncle, aunt, and Leshu, you are all here, please come in."
Father Shi snorted coldly and strode into the house. Mother Shi also followed behind with a sullen look on her face. Gu Leshu stood aside somewhat awkwardly.
After entering the house, Father Shi slammed the table and said, "Le You, what are you talking about? You asked A Yue to marry Le Shu, but now Le Shu has no intention of getting married. A Yue is stubborn and wants to become a nun in anger. You have caused us so much trouble!"
Gu Leyou looked horrified, "Uncle and Aunt, I have no intention of harming Ah Yue. I thought they had been close since childhood and were of similar age. It would be a good thing for them to become a couple. Who knew it would turn out like this now."
She turned to look at her brother and said angrily, "Le Shu, you spend your time with Ah Yue everyday, but you didn't notice her feelings? What should we do now?"
Gu Leshu lowered his head, his face full of regret, "Sister, I only thought of Ah Yue as your good friend and never thought of it in that way. It was my negligence."
Mother Shi sat aside, wiping her tears, "My poor daughter, she had such a good craft, she was hoping to find a good family, but now, if she really leaves home, how will we, the old couple, live?"
Hearing the Shi family's parents crying like that, Gu Leyou couldn't bear it. After all, it was his words that caused them to be separated from each other.
