Chapter 11: Acting Bravely 1
Gu Leyou came back at this time, and Old Mrs. Gu and Yang just came out, and the three of them almost bumped into each other.
Yang was already unhappy with Gu Leyou, and now with her mother-in-law around, she was going to take advantage of her power again. So, she scolded Gu Leyou directly with the attitude of an elder: "You are so reckless. You didn't even say hello to your grandma and me when you saw me, and you almost bumped into us."
Hearing the noise, Lin walked to the yard. Just when she was about to say something, she opened her mouth and called out reluctantly, "Hello, grandma, hello, auntie."
God knows how much she is fed up with these two.
Originally, their family could live a peaceful and stable life, but after being disrupted by their aunt and grandmother, their life has become more and more chaotic.
Mrs. Gu suddenly looked her granddaughter up and down. After a while, she warned her, "I have already made an agreement with your parents. I will let you marry the hunter on a good day. You should stay at home during this time."
Gu Leyou's mind was not on these two people at the moment, so she didn't listen to her grandmother at all. When Mrs. Gu saw that she didn't respond after she finished speaking, she raised her voice and yelled at her: "You little girl, I'm talking to you, do you hear me?"
Gu Leyou finally came to her senses and said perfunctorily, "Granddaughter will remember Grandma."
After hearing this, Mrs. Gu was satisfied and followed Yang.
After watching them walk away, Gu Leyou couldn't help but roll his eyes, and then said to Lin: "Mom, I don't want to eat anymore. I'm a little tired. I'm going to rest first."
After saying that, she went into the inner room.
…
As night fell, Lin was worried about her daughter, so she walked to her door and knocked, asking with concern: "My daughter, are you hungry? I'll make you something to eat."
"My daughter, we are all doing this for your own good. Think about it carefully these few days. If you regret it, your father and I will not let you get married even if we risk our lives."
But no matter what Lin said, there was no sound at all in the room.
Lin had no choice but to return to her room in disappointment.
Gu Haixiong had already laid down. When Lin came in, she started to complain about her husband.
"It's all your fault. When your mother came, you just listened to her. You didn't even resist or say a word for your daughter. If your daughter suffered after marrying him, wouldn't you feel bad for her?"
As she spoke, Lin began to choke up.
Gu Haixiong couldn't bear to see his wife cry. When he saw her crying, he felt soft-hearted. He immediately stood up and comforted his wife.
"Madam, it's not that I don't stand up for my daughter, but my sister-in-law is right. Do you want our girl to stay at home forever?" Gu Haixiong explained patiently.
Lin shook her head. She had never thought about it that way. She only had this pair of children, so of course she wanted them to live a happy life.
"Since you want your daughter to live a happy and good life, you can't stop this marriage. After all, your daughter's matter has been a hot topic and many people know about it. You can't let your daughter never get married for the rest of her life. She is our biological daughter." Gu Haixing continued to persuade.
After listening to this, Lin could only nod with tears in her eyes.
"Then I'm going to start preparing some things for our daughter so that she can get married happily."
Gu Haixiong agreed.
After all, my mother is a man of her words and will definitely look forward to a good life.
The next day, it was daybreak.
Gu Leyou got up, washed up, then secretly went out with the backpack on his back.
She wanted to go to the mountains to collect herbs, and by the way, find a deserted place to enter the Lingquan space and get some herbs.
Early in the morning, there were few pedestrians on the roads in the village and the air was very good.
When Lin got up to cook, she first came to the door of her daughter's room, knocked on the door, and asked with concern: "Leyou, are you up? You didn't eat all night, mother will cook for you."
After she said this, there was still no movement inside. Lin thought her daughter had not gotten up yet, so she went to the kitchen to cook.
When Lin finished cooking, Gu Leshu had already gotten up, so she asked her son to call her daughter. Gu Leshu came to the door of Gu Leyou's room, knocked on the door and said, "Sister, get up and eat. Today, mother made your favorite cakes, and they smell delicious."
However, there was still no movement inside and no one answered.
Gu Leshu was still confused and ran to ask his mother, "Mom, how come my sister is so sleepy today and hasn't woken up yet? Normally, she would have woken up by this time and helped you with the work."
When Lin heard this, she felt something was wrong and quickly found the key to open the door.
When she opened the door, she saw that there was no one inside and the bedding was tidy. She was completely panicked and quickly called her husband.
"His father, hurry out and look for his daughter. She is missing."
Gu Haixiong, however, looked calm. He said, "Don't shout anymore. Don't let the neighbors hear it. Then they will spread rumors that the child may have gone out for something."
This time, Lin was really tough. She threw down her apron and said directly to her boss: "You are not anxious, but I, as a mother, am anxious. I will go and look for him in case something happens."
After saying that, she took off her apron, threw it to Gu Haixiong, and went out in a hurry. Seeing that he couldn't stop her, Gu Haixiong had to follow her. Before leaving, he said, "You little bastard, stay at home and look after the house. If your sister comes back, don't wait for her at home."
"Dad, do you need my help to look for it?" Gu Leshu asked.
"Need not."
With just two simple words, he hurriedly chased after his wife.
Their family had lived a peaceful and happy life before, but ever since something happened to their daughter, all kinds of unrest have come to their home.
The couple searched the village for a long time but couldn't find their daughter. Soon the news of Gu Leyou's disappearance spread throughout the village, and the old lady of the Gu family and Yang came to their door again.
However, when they arrived at Gu Laoer's house, the couple had not returned yet, so Grandma Gu and the others just waited for a while.
When the couple returned home, they saw their mother sitting in the yard with an extremely ugly look on her face.
Lin suddenly felt something was wrong. Her mother-in-law was causing trouble again.
As expected, when Mrs. Gu saw the couple coming back and just as they stepped into the yard, she couldn't wait to ask, "Where's your daughter? What did I tell you yesterday? Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on her and not let her run around? Where did she go now?"
Gu Haixiong didn't know how to answer for a moment, because he didn't know where his daughter was doing so early in the morning. He had searched for a long time but still couldn't find her.
Seeing the couple like this, Yang tried to sow discord in front of Old Lady Gu, saying, "Mother, do you think the second son and his wife will hide their daughter to go against you and force you to agree to their breaking off the engagement?"
Yang just couldn't stand the second son's family no matter what, and always targeted them whenever something happened.
