Chapter 234 Something Happened to the Big Girl
In the days that followed, Gu Yan no longer dared to talk about going to hunt buffalo.
But he was lucky. Instead of hunting bison, he encountered two lone wild deer.
And although he no longer hunted buffalo, he went to the creek twice.
Once he shot a wild goat, and once he shot a silly roe deer.
They also hunted a lot of pheasants and rabbits. Since Li Wanqing didn't allow hunting, Gu Yan took the two children to pick up various mountain products all over the mountains.
A month passed in the blink of an eye, and just as Gu Yan and Li Wanqing were preparing to leave the mountain and go home.
Zhao Cuifang hurried over to find Li Wanqing.
"Third sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, something happened?" Zhao Cuifang pulled Li Wanqing aside and said mysteriously.
"What happened?" Li Wanqing also lowered her voice.
"It's the big girl. Something happened to the big girl," said Zhao Cuifang.
"What happened to Big Girl? Didn't Big Girl go to visit relatives at Gu Xiang's house in town a few days ago?" Li Wanqing asked curiously.
It was probably about ten days later when Zhao Cuifang came over and said that Gu Xiang and Guo Erlang had returned.
When he returned, he took his daughter with him, using the excuse of visiting his aunt's family. In reality, he was going to meet his in-laws.
Gu Nian and Zhang Cuihua have always wanted their daughter to find a husband in town.
But as the saying goes, for the people in the town, it is impossible for those with better conditions to marry girls from the mountains.
Those who are willing to marry a girl from the mountains find it difficult to find a wife outside, or they cannot find a wife at all.
People with better conditions look down on the big girl, and Gu Nian and Zhang Cuihua, who are less well-off, are unwilling to marry her.
It is said that Gu Nian and Zhang Cuihua have been looking for a husband for Da Niu since she was thirteen years old.
Even now, the eldest girl is sixteen years old and still has not been engaged.
This time, Gu Xiang and Guo Erlang introduced the girl to a man who was said to be the son of Guo Erlang's good brother.
It is said that the reason why Da Niuer went there this time was because the man wanted to see her.
If Da Nv'er was Li Wanqing's daughter, then Li Wanqing would never let Da Nv'er take the initiative to let the man be picky.
It is okay to see each other. The parents of the man and the woman, including the matchmaker, sit together and see each other.
How could a woman come to a man's house to be seen? Even if it was at her sister-in-law's house, it wouldn't be allowed. That's too cheap.
And no matter whether this thing succeeds or not, it is not a good thing for the girl.
If it works out, the in-laws will look down on the girl, and it will be a handle on her for the rest of her life.
Needless to say, if it doesn't work out, the man won't hide it from them.
When the time comes, if a girl goes out and is actively looked at by a man but is still rejected, her reputation will be ruined.
So no matter whether this matter of Da Nv'er succeeds or not, she will definitely suffer the loss.
"Oh, stop talking now. Big Girl has suffered a great loss this time. Big Brother and the others have been planning to find a good family for Big Girl so that she can help Shuanzi in the future.
As a result, the girl was pushed into the fire pit.
Our sister-in-law is really something, she just lets the Guo family bully her niece." Zhao Cuifang sighed.
"Didn't the girl go there just to meet someone? Why did she jump into the fire pit now?" Li Wanqing asked curiously.
"Well, you don't know, the big girl came back crying yesterday.
It was only when Da Niuer came back crying that we realized that Guo Erlang had sold her.
After careful questioning, the eldest brother and his friends learned from the eldest girl's stumbling words that Guo Erlang owed gambling debts, and people came to his house to collect the debt, but Guo Erlang refused to pay.
Finally, he set his sights on the older girl.
Actually, it was Gu Nian and Zhang Cuihua's fault. As soon as they heard that someone had taken a fancy to the girl and wanted to marry her to their family, especially since the man was from the town.
They were so confused that they didn't even ask any questions and let the girl go back with Guo Erlang and the others.
They had a good idea. Gu Xiang was Da Niu'er's aunt, so she would never harm her.
They didn't expect that Gu Xiang couldn't even protect herself in the Guo family, so how could she possibly protect the big girl.
Moreover, the Gu family members are cold-hearted by nature, and Gu Xiang is of course no exception.
Gu Xiang might have played a role in what happened to Da Nv'er." Zhao Cuifang was also very angry about what happened to Da Nv'er.
Li Wanqing listened to Zhao Cuifang for a long time without getting to the point, so she asked, "Why don't you tell me what's going on?"
Zhao Cuifang did not hide anything and began to tell the story vividly.
The story began a month ago. At the Guo family, Erlang came back from outside, looking dejected.
"Where is the person? Where did he die?" Guo Erlang drank and started cursing as soon as he entered the house.
"Wuwaa~Wuwaa," a little girl of two or three years old on the kang cried loudly in fear.
"What's wrong? Zhaodi, why are you crying? Mom is here, mom is here." Gu Xiang heard the child crying and ran in hurriedly.
"Mom, I'm scared." The little girl cried and threw herself into Gu Xiang's arms.
"Don't be afraid, mom is here, don't be afraid." Gu Xiang hugged her daughter's thin body and comforted her.
"Cry, cry, every day is as unlucky as your mother.
Your luck is wasting away day by day.
Shut up and stop crying, I'm so annoyed." Guo Erlang lost money outside and was in a bad mood.
Gu Xiang glanced at Guo Erlang and didn't dare to refute.
In all the years since she got married, she has only given birth to a girl.
This made Guo Erlang, who already liked her, look down on her even more.
The attitude of the husband’s family actually follows the man’s attitude.
Guo Erlang did not value them, so of course the Guo family treated them badly too.
"Get out. I'm annoyed just looking at you. You look so sad and depressed all day long." Guo Erlang picked up the sewing basket next to him and threw it at him.
Hearing the sound, Gu Xiang quickly hugged the child tightly and turned around, letting the object hit her back.
This wasn't the first time this had happened. Almost every two days, Guo Erlang would get drunk and act crazy when he came back. She had gotten used to it.
But this time is different from the past. In the past, even if the impact was severe, it would only cause bruises for a few days.
But this time there are scissors in the sewing basket.
The sewing basket hit Gu Xiang, and the scissors jumped out and scratched Gu Xiang's arm.
"Ouch!" Gu Xiang felt a pain in her arm and almost threw her daughter out.
Gu Xiang quickly put Zhaodi on the kang and covered the wound with her other hand.
Fortunately, Gu Xiang was wearing a padded jacket, so the wound was not deep.
Gu Xiang also got used to it and found a piece of cloth and bandaged it randomly.
I didn't dare cry out loud, I just hugged my daughter and sobbed quietly.
Little Zhaodi was so scared that she started crying again, but she didn't dare to cry loudly for fear that her father would beat her.
Guo Erlang saw that Gu Xiang's arm was bleeding, looked at Gu Xiang with drunken eyes, and then calmed down.
However, he did not pay any attention to Gu Xiang and her mother. Instead, he lay down on the kang and started snoring after a while.
