Chapter 241 The Matter is Exposed
Mrs. Lin and Gu Xiang were originally staying together happily, waiting for good news from Lin Xiaolu.
As soon as she got home, she found out that Lin Xiaolu had let Gu Xiang run away. Mrs. Lin was so angry that she kept scolding Lin Xiaolu.
At this time, Mrs. Lin no longer cared that Lin Xiaolu was his biological son, and she poked her finger at Lin Xiaolu's forehead.
"How could I have given birth to such a fool like you? A grown man can be frightened by a little girl. It's really disappointing."
Lin Xiaolu did not defend himself, but just lowered his head silently.
Gu Xiang is watching from the side now. Although it is a pity to let the girl run away, she will not be able to get the money later.
But if Mrs. Lin asked her to return the money now, it would be absolutely impossible.
After scolding Lin Xiaolu, Sister Lin turned her gaze to Gu Xiang and said viciously:
"Sister Gu, this girl is your niece after all. Now she's running away, and it was you who came up with this trick. So, you two, the aunt and the niece, are not setting a trap for our family, are you?
I won't say anything else. Either you bring the girl back to us, or you return the money with interest."
Gu Xiang may have become a bit reckless because she has been with Gu Erlang for a long time.
Anyway, the money is in his hands, and asking her to take it out would be more painful than cutting his flesh, so Gu Xiang shamelessly said:
"Mrs. Lin, what you said doesn't make sense, does it? What tricks are you talking about?
I came here with good intentions to act as a matchmaker for your son, and the person I was trying to matchmake with was my own niece. I never expected you to resort to such despicable tactics."
Gu Xiang mumbled a lot of things, but the main point was: I will never pay the money back!
Mrs. Lin didn't expect that Gu Xiang would turn against her like this, but after all, she was the one who did it, and she had no evidence to say that it was Gu Xiang who ordered it, so she could only swallow this loss in silence.
At that moment, Sister Lin looked at Gu Xiang with eyes full of resentment, and said viciously:
"Okay, okay, our Lin family will remember this mistake. Gu Xiang, you'd better pray that you don't fall into my hands in the future."
Gu Xiang didn't take Mrs. Lin's threat seriously at all. She shook her head, turned around and left.
Gu Xiang left, and Guo Erlang also left in shame.
"It's really unlucky to meet such a family. My son is fine. I will find you a better one."
Mrs. Lin comforted Lin Xiaolu, who was obviously shocked.
Zhang Cuihua was also furious when she learned about what happened to her daughter. It was true that she wanted her daughter to marry a rich man, but she didn't want to push her own daughter into the fire pit.
However, she still had some sense and went straight to Gu Xiang to question her.
Instead, he waited until Gu Nian and the others came back, and Old Man Gu and Zhang Dahua also came back. When the family was having dinner together, he spoke:
"Dad, Mom, I'm not saying anything bad about my sister-in-law. You said I wanted my sister-in-law to find a partner for my daughter in town, so that she can help the family in the future.
If Gu Xiang doesn't want to, that's fine. But since you promised me, you introduced this thing to our girl. "
Gu Chongshan and Zhang Dahua frowned when they heard this, knowing that Gu Xiang was likely to do such a thing.
But Zhang Dahua couldn't help but defend her daughter:
"Cuihua, is there something wrong? After all, the girl is her niece.
I think Gu Xiang must have been fooled by the Lin family. Who knows how sad she must be now? "
Zhang Cuihua didn't respond at all. She turned to look at Gu Nian and said,
"What about you? How can you think that Gu Xiang is your biological sister? Don't forget that our eldest girl is also your biological daughter."
Gu Nian didn't hesitate much. It was true that his sister was his biological sister, but it was impossible for her to help his son. Only if his biological daughter married well could she help his son.
"I'm going to town tomorrow to find out what's going on. I'm going to ask Gu Xiang for an explanation."
Gu Nian did not fool Zhang Cuihua. The next morning, Gu Yan got up early and went to the town.
Gu Nian was a man of good intentions. When he arrived in the town, he did not directly ask people whether there was anything wrong with the Lin family.
Instead, he pretended to be a stranger from outside, stopped a passerby and asked:
"Big brother, do you know where our famous matchmaker lives? To be honest, my brothers have left behind a daughter and we're looking for a partner for her. We don't ask for wealth or status, just enough to keep her fed."
The passerby who was asked was also a down-to-earth person. After listening to Gu Yan's request, he spoke directly.
"If you just want to give your niece a bite to eat, go find Mrs. Wu. She's on the street ahead."
As luck would have it, this Mrs. Wu was the matchmaker that Gu Xiang had gone to see.
When Gu Nian arrived, Mrs. Wu was worried about Sister Lin coming to see her.
Originally, when Gu Xiang came to ask him, Mrs. Wu happened to have this resource of Mrs. Lin in her hands. She originally wanted to have the best of both worlds, but who would have thought that Gu Xiang's niece was not willing at all.
Now that Mrs. Lin has come to her, Gu Xiang may not care, but Mrs. Wu makes a living by introducing people to potential partners, so she must take care of this matter for Mrs. Lin.
When Mrs. Wu heard that there was another person outside looking for a partner for her niece, she slapped her thigh and said:
"Isn't this a coincidence? I actually have a suitable family here.
But I won't lie to you. Forget about becoming rich and powerful. The man is short and a little lame. If he had no defects, it wouldn't be the fate of a family like yours, right? "
Gu Nian nodded and said that what Mrs. Wu said made sense.
Mrs. Wu nodded and continued:
"If you're interested, you can go out and ask around. The family I'm introducing to you is surnamed Lin.
If you are willing to come back to me after you have inquired, I can act as a matchmaker for you."
In order to make this marriage happen, Mrs. Wu thought about it and added another sentence:
"I think it's not easy for you to raise a niece this old. As long as this marriage is successful, Mrs. Lin from that family said she would give a thank-you gift of this amount."
As she spoke, Mrs. Wu closed her mouth with her hands and nodded at Gu Nian.
Gu Nian's heart sank when he heard this. His family had originally thought that the matchmaker was being unkind and deliberately concealing the situation in the south.
Unexpectedly, the matchmaker had no intention of hiding it at all. Instead, the man gave a very generous gift as a thank-you gift.
Thinking about it this way, Gu Xiang probably introduced the girl to such a family just for the three taels of silver as a thank-you gift.
Gu Nian thanked Mrs. Wu and said he would go back and ask around, then left.
After Gu Nian returned, he told this matter to Gu Chongshan, Zhang Dahua and others.
"It seems that Gu Xiang is bad from the root. Parents, please don't try to stop me. I will never recognize Gu Xiang as my sister again no matter what."
Gu Chongshan's face turned ashen, and Zhang Dahua's face turned pale.
They all knew that the brother-sister relationship between Gu Xiang and Gu Nian had come to an end.
