Chapter 242 Li Wanqing is shocked
"This... this Gu Xiang is such a piece of shit? Big girl is her niece?
Isn't this pushing the girl into the fire pit? "After listening to Zhao Cuifang's explanation of the whole process, Li Wanqing's dislike for the Gu family's selfish nature rose to a new level.
"Who said it wasn't? We all knew that Gu Xiang was selfish, but no one thought she was so vicious that she wouldn't even let her own niece go."
Zhao Cuifang also echoed.
Perhaps it was because Li Wanqing was pregnant recently, she had been worried about how she would protect a daughter in this world if she gave birth to one.
So after hearing what Zhao Cuifang said, she felt a rare tenderness in her heart, but she was not the eldest girl's biological mother. Moreover, she also knew the temperaments of Zhang Cuihua and others. If she took charge of this matter, the Gu family would have to cling to her in everything they did in the future.
So she just chatted with Zhao Cuifang casually, didn't promise anything, and sent her away.
When Gu Yan came back in the evening, Li Wanqing told him about this matter and said with emotion:
"Although the girl has some little thoughts, she is still a child. What Gu Xiang did was very unkind. No matter what the conflict is, you can't put your hands on the child."
This was Li Wanqing's true feelings; she and Gu Yan also had a child. Besides, a thief who steals for a thousand days shouldn't be on guard against thieves for a thousand days. Besides, Gu Xiang wasn't far away from them, so there was no way they could completely shake off this relationship.
What if Gu Xiang has some plans to harm Xuanxuan or Hengheng someday? Now that I'm pregnant, I won't even have time to cry if something really happens.
Gu Yan also understood Li Wanqing's concerns. He had no feelings for this sister. Once there was a possibility of a threat to his family, even the most honest person would find a way to eliminate the threat.
"Wife, I do know why Gu Xiang suddenly plotted against Da Niu."
Li Wanqing didn't expect that there was a hidden secret in it, but it was true. If there were no special circumstances, Gu Xiang's plot against Da Niu'er would only worsen the relationship with her mother's family and would not bring any other benefits.
"What's going on? Why did Gu Xiang suddenly introduce such a person to the girl?"
Li Wanqing asked.
Gu Yan stretched out his hand and hugged his wife into his arms, saying:
"Didn't Gu Xiang marry Guo Erlang? I said Guo Erlang wasn't a good person, otherwise he wouldn't have fallen for Gu Xiang."
Li Wanqing nodded and said:
"As I said, the most important thing when getting married is whether the two families are well-matched. If it's the man, it's not so bad. But if the woman marries someone whose family background is not well-matched, who knows how she will suffer."
After listening to Li Wanqing's words, Gu Yan nodded and continued:
"Ever since Guo Erlang married Gu Xiang, he's developed a habit of playing cards. He's lost around twenty taels of silver. I heard a few days ago that the debt collectors have come to the Guo family."
Li Wanqing understood when she heard this. Gu Xiang must have been forced into a corner by the debt collectors, so she came up with the idea of introducing her daughter to the Lin family in exchange for a thank-you gift.
Li Wanqing felt something was wrong again and continued to ask:
"Then Mr. and Mrs. Guo didn't care at all? Guo Erlang is his biological son after all."
"Of course I did. Why didn't I? Old Guo must have taken out all his coffin money. It made the eldest and third sons of Guo very unhappy, and now they have split up the family business."
Li Wanqing nodded and said:
"No wonder Gu Xiang set her sights on the girl. Old Guo probably has no money left."
Gu Yan continued:
"Now that the eldest brother Guo has taken over the family, Mrs. Guo is strictly controlling the old couple, fearing that they will subsidize the second brother Guo."
Li Wanqing understood Mrs. Guo's approach. After all, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Guo Erlang was a bottomless pit, the kind that once you got involved you couldn't get rid of him.
Gu Yan looked at his wife, whose face looked rosy under the candlelight, and thought she was as lovely as a red apple.
Gu Yan looked at his wife's slightly pregnant belly, suppressed his own hidden thoughts, and said attentively:
"Wife, it's getting late. I'll go get you some water to wash your feet. You're getting older day by day. After washing your feet, I'll massage your legs to make you feel more comfortable."
After Gu Yan finished speaking, he went out to pour water. Li Wanqing looked at Gu Yan's back as he left, and her heart felt sweeter than drinking honey.
After washing his wife's feet, Gu Yan went out to take a cold shower.
Gu Nian and Zhang Cuihua were also talking here, but the atmosphere was not as warm as that of Li Wanqing and her husband.
"Boss, do you think I made a mistake in asking Gu Xiang to find a date for Big Girl? I see Big Girl has been in a bad mood these past two days, and after this incident, I don't think the people Big Girl introduces to in the future will be good either.
You said that when I think about the fact that my daughter will still be begging in the mountains in the future, I feel very uncomfortable. "
Gu Nian didn't have so many thoughts in his mind, nor did he know how to comfort Zhang Cuihua. He just said bluntly:
"It's okay for you to marry someone in the mountains, you see, aren't you living a good life now?
Besides, you just believe everything Gu Xiang says. Why don’t you go out and ask around when she introduced you to someone? "
Apart from being a little angry at his sister for plotting against him, Gu Nian didn't really care about what happened to his daughter Da Niu'er. After all, she was just a daughter.
Zhang Cuihua was a little annoyed by Gu Nian's attitude, but she didn't say anything, just said:
"I don't care what Gu Xiang thinks. Today she is plotting against our eldest daughter. If she has bad intentions one day, it will have a very bad impact on our Shuanzi."
Gu Nian was also concerned about his son's affairs and immediately replied:
"Don't worry, this matter won't just end like this. I'll take my parents to Gu Xiang tomorrow to ask for an explanation."
After hearing what Gu Nian said, Zhang Cuihua nodded, and the two of them went to bed.
The next morning, Gu Nian took Zhang Cuihua and others to the county, and saw Gu Xiang washing clothes for Guo Erlang.
Zhang Cuihua saw that Gu Xiang was like an enemy meeting and was extremely jealous. She thought about what Gu Xiang had said to bully her, and also thought about how Gu Xiang had almost ruined her life.
Zhang Cuihua couldn't bear it any longer and rushed forward with a cry of "Ah".
"Gu Xiang, you're such a good person. You always introduce lousy candidates to my daughter. Why don't you marry such a good one yourself?"
Not satisfied with just slapping Gu Xiang a few times, he also pulled out a few strands of Gu Xiang's hair.
Gu Xiang's voice changed tone due to the pain, and she cried out:
"Gu Nian, are you a man? Just watching Zhang Cuihua beat your sister like this, are you going to let your woman ride on your head and shit on you in the future?"
Gu Nian didn't move, but his face turned pale. Zhang Dahua saw that her son's face was not right and advised:
"Xiang, you should talk less."
