Chapter 90 You Are Ridiculous
On the other hand, Shi Yuechan returned home, unhappy the whole day, still frightened by the incident with the sick child. Although Mr. and Mrs. Shi no longer mentioned getting married, they could not help sighing when they spoke, and the atmosphere at home was dull and depressing.
Time flies, Gu Leshu buries himself in his studies, and occasionally meets Shi Yuechan. At first, they are awkward and unfamiliar with each other. A Yue is full of grievances, and Leshu feels apologetic. But as time went by, A Yue knew his ambition and supported him silently; Le Shu saw that A Yue was gentle and tenacious, and gradually developed a good impression of her.
Several days later, Yang finally found out about this incident.
This is not to show some color to Gu Laoer's family.
This time the whole village knew about the affairs of the Gu family and the Shi family.
Even the village chief was alarmed. The village chief had been troubled enough by his brother's affairs before, and now his brother brought up the matter of the stillborn child again.
He now feels very sad every night, thinking that it was because he was unable to take good care of his daughter that she died before she was even one year old.
Yang ran to the village chief's house and exaggerated what he knew. The village chief became furious when he heard it and immediately ran to Gu Laoer's house.
Gu Laoer's family was just about to go to the fields to work. When they saw the village chief coming over with an angry look on his face, he thought that someone in their family must have caused trouble again, so the village chief came to their house again.
So they quickly welcomed the village chief in.
As soon as the village chief saw Gu Laoer, he questioned him directly.
"Your family is such a big shop, yet you can move things to other people's homes, and even dare to ask other girls not to get married and wait for your son."
"Village Chief, what are you talking about? I don't understand a word you said."
Gu Laoer was completely confused, because the old Gu couple only knew one side of the story about what happened between him and his siblings and the Shi family.
They only know some things that happened before, and they have no idea what happened later, let alone the ridiculous things their son and daughter did?
Gu Haixiong no longer cared about his face and quickly asked his wife to call his son and daughter.
So Lin went to the school alone and called her son back, then went to her daughter's house and brought her back.
The brother and sister already knew that the truth would come out. They originally planned not to tell their parents first, but their parents found out first.
When they returned home and just entered the gate, Gu Haixiong scolded the brother and sister.
"Kneel down first and tell me what you know. What is going on? Your mother and I have never agreed to the Shi family's marriage."
"Mom and Dad, do you still remember the uncle and aunt of the Shi family who came to us that day? They came to our house in person to speak for their daughter, but I rejected them because I was busy with my studies."
"What's going on? I've never heard you say that you like the girl from the Shi family. Although that girl is good in every way, you don't like their family. Are you going to force her on us?" Lin asked in confusion.
"You can't blame my brother for what happened to my parents. If you want to blame someone, blame me. I couldn't bear to see my good friend suffer. His parents wanted to marry her to that sickly woman. You've heard about that case. He's really not a good match. I told her that it's better to marry my brother's family, who knows her background well, than to marry a sickly woman."
"Then the girl must have taken it seriously and thought your brother liked her too."
That's true.
After Gu Leyou explained the whole story, the village chief was a little confused.
He blamed Gu Haixiong, "Look at what kind of family education you have. They can raise two such ridiculous children. How can they decide their own marriage?"
"The village chief has taught me a lesson. I will definitely discipline you well and make sure you are all satisfied."
So Gu Haixiong fulfilled his father's responsibility and made the two siblings kneel in the yard as punishment. Seeing that they were going to take care of their own chores, the village chief was about to leave, but when he reached the gate of the courtyard, he turned back.
"Remember, you have to give an explanation to the Laoshi family, not to me. If you don't handle this matter well, they will not let you go, and even I, the village chief, will be embarrassed."
"I understand. The village chief will definitely handle this matter properly."
After the village chief leaves.
Gu Haixiong said to his son earnestly, "No matter whether you pass the imperial examination or not, you must marry that girl to me in two years. Now the whole village knows about your affair. It won't be long before everyone in the surrounding villages knows that the girl likes you. If you don't marry her, how can she live her life in the future?"
"Father and mother, Sister A Yue has promised me that she will wait until I pass the imperial examination and have some achievements before marrying me."
When he said this, Gu Leyou was shocked.
Does this brother want to go back on his word? The document he wrote is still in the other party's hands.
"Brother, I will tell you that although it is said that the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words are final, what I want to say is that you have to listen to me as your elder sister. I have already told you that you must be good to Yue."
"I know, sister, but love is a matter between two people. It's possible that sister Yue will think clearly and decide not to marry me in the future. Then I won't have to bear the psychological burden of marrying her."
This younger brother always shuts them up with his own words.
"Husband, these two kids did something stupid. How about we buy some things and go to each other's house to apologize in person?"
"What do you know as a woman? What's the point of apologizing now? The villagers all know about this matter and it has become a hot topic. Now we should hurry up and find a way to arrange a marriage for them. The rest can only be decided by fate. I hope this boy can live up to his expectations."
Unexpectedly, before they could figure out how to tell each other, their sister-in-law came again.
As soon as he entered the yard and saw the two children kneeling there, he started to act sarcastic.
The eldest sister-in-law crossed her arms and raised a mocking arc on her lips: "Hey, what's going on? You seem to be quite smart on weekdays, why are you so stupid in such an important matter?
Second brother, you really know how to teach your children. If this matter gets out, our Gu family will lose all face. ”
"Our mother knows about this and she's very angry."
Lin's eyes were red with anger, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Sister-in-law, please don't make things worse now. We are worried about this."
The eldest sister-in-law was not willing to give in. She paced around the siblings, clicking her tongue: "Le Shu, you have read so much that you can't even think of marriage as a joke? You're still asking the girl to wait. What can you do to wait? Although our Gu family is not rich, we can't do such a deceiving thing."
"You are a scholar, but you can say such things. I don't know what your parents taught you."
