Chapter 175: No Breakup
"No, I won't break off the engagement. How can a woman who breaks off the engagement find a good husband?
Besides, Erlang is very good and treats me well." When she finished speaking, Gu Xiang blushed shyly.
"Yes, Third Brother, breaking off an engagement is no joke. It has a huge impact on girls.
"It's difficult for a girl to find a suitable husband after the engagement is broken off," Gu Chongshan also said.
Seeing them say this, Gu Yan knew that he couldn't convince them.
He could only let them figure it out on their own. Anyway, he had already reminded them what he needed to.
"Okay, you guys can do whatever you want. Anyway, I've said it myself. Don't expect me to clean up your mess if anything goes wrong in the future." Gu Yan said lightly.
"Third brother, can't you give your sister some silver? Not too much, just ten taels will do.
I just want your sister to have some money so she can be more assertive in her future husband's family." Zhang Dahua's tone softened.
Seeing Zhang Dahua thinking about her daughter, Gu Yan couldn't help but sigh that she was a loving mother.
However, apart from feeling a little uncomfortable, Gu Yan was not touched at all.
"No, I will do the same as my elder brother and give Gu Xiang a piece of cloth, and nothing else." Gu Yan said.
Gu Yan didn't plan to waste any more time with them, so he ordered them to leave: "If you don't have anything else, why don't you go back? I'm still busy here."
Gu Chongshan looked at his third son's impatient expression and said sadly, "Let's go back."
"Third brother, I see you have a lot of chickens and ducks here. I wonder if there are enough eggs? Your second sister-in-law is pregnant again, and the doctor said she should eat more to replenish her body." Before leaving, Gu Bei came to Gu Yan with a flattering face.
"That's really unfortunate, chicken and duck eggs are taken away by the grocery store every morning.
"If you want to buy some, you can find them at the grocery store in the north of the city. They're all fresh eggs from the farm," Gu Yan said with a cold face.
Seeing that Gu Yan didn't even give him the slightest bit of face, Gu Bei angrily threw his sleeves and left.
Gu Yan didn't care. He sent them away and went back to watch the people turning the soil.
Everything was calm here in Gu Yan, but the hearts of Gu Chongshan and his group were surging.
"Old man, the third brother has really grown up, and he has really separated from us.
Why is the third brother so hard-hearted? Gu Xiang is his biological sister, why wouldn't he be willing to give her a little more money?
"Old man, I'm just afraid that the third brother will really not care about Gu Xiang in the future. What will Gu Xiang do then?" On the way back, Zhang Dahua said worriedly to Gu Chongshan.
"You know now? It's too late. I told you from the beginning that this marriage wouldn't work out.
The Guo family sent someone to propose marriage, which must be due to some greed. Otherwise, why would a good young man from the town, who has all the necessary limbs, marry Gu Xiang, a girl from the mountains?
You guys just don't want to listen, how did that saying go? Qi... Qi Da Fei Ou, yes, Qi Da Fei Ou.
It is not easy for us mountain girls to marry outside the mountains, let alone in town.
What can the Guo family gain from our family? They just want to curry favor with us because they see that the third son has become successful.
But others may not know this, but you yourself don't know this either. Can you really control the third child?
What will Gu Xiang do if the Guo family doesn’t get what they want?
"I explained everything to you in detail, but you wouldn't listen. You took advantage of me going hunting and arranged the marriage on your own. Now it's too late to regret it." Gu Chongshan also sighed.
He really didn't want to agree to this marriage at first, but his wife and daughter took the betrothal gifts while he was not at home.
When he came back, everything was settled, even the wedding date was set.
"What should we do now? We can't just watch our daughter suffer after getting married, right?" Zhang Dahua was completely at a loss.
"What else can we do? We can't really ask Gu Xiang to cancel the engagement, right?" Gu Chongshan was at a loss.
"I can't cancel the engagement. If my sister-in-law cancels the engagement, she won't be able to find someone like Erlang of the Guo family again.
Of course, if we look for it in the mountains, we can still find it, but will my sister-in-law be willing?
Now that you've finally gotten married and moved to town, you're breaking off the engagement just because of uncertainty?" Zhang Cuihua interrupted.
Of course, Zhang Cuihua didn't want Gu Xiang to break off the engagement. She had a daughter who was ten years old. It would take only a few years for her to find a husband.
If people knew that there was an aunt in her family who broke off an engagement, she would also be affected and would not be able to find a good husband.
"Yes, her reputation will be ruined after the engagement is broken off, and the sister-in-law cannot break off the engagement." Li Yingdi also said.
"Mom and Dad, I won't cancel the engagement. You don't have to worry about me. I'm willing to get married this way. I'll accept it whether it's good or bad in the future." Gu Xiang said with red eyes.
"Alas, there is no other way now. If I can't cancel the engagement, I will have to marry him." Gu Chongshan said.
"Dad, I think the third brother's farm is quite big, why don't you and mom move in and live there.
As you get older day by day, it will be inconvenient to see a doctor in the mountains if you have a headache or fever.
And if you move out, you can interact more often with your second uncle and aunt.
I can also be more filial to you. Otherwise, even if I want to be filial to you if you live in the mountains, the distance is so far that it is unrealistic for me to go back often.
Moreover, Dad and Mom, the third brother has such a big farm, but it is actually managed by the head of the village.
How can we have an exact number for the chicken eggs, duck eggs, and grain we harvest? It's just whatever the village head says it is.
"Mom and Dad, you should come over and help keep an eye on the third child, to prevent him from being fooled by the village head." Gu Bei's eyes rolled as he came up with a new idea.
Didn’t Gu Yan not want these brothers to take advantage of him?
Aren’t you reluctant to even give him a few eggs?
So he would find a way to get his parents to live on the farm, and then he would come here under the pretext of showing filial piety to his parents.
When the time comes, will his parents not give him the food on the farm and the livestock and poultry?
Thinking about the future when he would have such a big farm with so many good things in it, he could coax his parents into getting them for himself.
Gu Bei was so excited that he wished his parents would move in with him tomorrow.
Gu Chongshan and Zhang Dahua had never thought about this.
I have to say that Gu Bei really understands Gu Chongshan and Zhang Dahua well enough, and what he says is also very pleasant.
Of course, Gu Chongshan also wanted to move out of the mountains. It can be said that moving out of the mountains was his lifelong obsession.
No one knew how much he envied Uncle Gu, who was able to find a rich wife and live outside the mountains.
I also envy Gu Xiaogu for getting married right away.
There are three brothers and sisters in their total, and he is the eldest one who has never been able to leave the mountains.
This made him feel ashamed in front of his brothers for a time.
That's why he was so interested when Gu Bei said he wanted to open a grocery store in town. He was willing to help him open it even if it meant borrowing money.
He just wanted to prove that even if he was not capable, he was not as promising as his second brother.
But his son is better than his nephew.
