Chapter 213 Cowardly
After finishing their meal, Gu Chongshan told his second uncle Gu the purpose of their visit.
"Second brother's wife, we came here this time because we need your help with something." Gu Chongshan said.
"What's the matter?" Aunt Gu didn't know how she could help them.
Gu Chongshan didn't say it himself this time. He gestured to Gu Nian to speak.
"It's like this, Second Aunt, my eldest daughter is growing up soon, and her mother and I have discussed it and would like to ask you to help find a suitable family for her." Gu Nian expressed his thoughts concisely.
Second Aunt Gu thought it was something else, but it turned out they wanted her to be a matchmaker, something Second Aunt Gu was good at, although she wasn't a professional matchmaker.
But there are also several couples who are said to be together, and they are all living a good life.
But the matter of Da Niu is a little difficult to handle, not because of anything else, but because Da Niu is a girl from the mountains.
No decent family in the town would be willing to marry her.
As for those with poor conditions, I don’t know whether Gu Nian and others will agree.
To be honest, life in the town only looks good. In fact, it may not be as comfortable as life in the mountains.
This is what Aunt Gu thought in her heart and asked this question out loud.
"Brother, Gu Nian, this matter is a bit difficult to handle.
You also know that any family in the town that can make a living will not marry a girl from the mountains. Not to mention in the town, it is the same in the village.
If the girl were to look for a husband in town, she would definitely not find a good one.
In fact, if you ask me, there is no need for the girl to climb this high branch.
You know, even in the town, there are still many poor people.
To be honest, those people don't live as well as you do.
You should think this through carefully, and don't blame me when you have a hard time in the future." Aunt Gu said this upfront.
Gu Nian really hadn't thought about this. He and Zhang Cuihua just felt that life in the town must be easier than in the mountains. Otherwise, why would everyone want to live in the town?
"I haven't really thought about this, but Second Aunt, no matter how bad things are in town, they should still be better than in the mountains.
I also asked the older girl, and she agreed too.
Second aunt, please help me look for one. It doesn’t have to be a very good condition, as long as the person is nice.
As long as they have both hands and feet, they can always make ends meet," said Gu Nian.
Second Aunt Gu said everything she needed to say, but since Gu Nian insisted on doing so, she didn't try to persuade him.
"Okay, then I'll find out for you, big girl. Talk first. This matter is uncertain. If there is a suitable one, I will introduce it to you. If there is no suitable one, don't blame me." Aunt Gu said.
"Of course. I am very grateful that Second Aunt is willing to help me. How can I complain about her?" Gu Nian said.
"That's fine. I'm not a matchmaker, and I don't have that many young men. But the girl is not too old, so I can slowly ask around for her." Aunt Gu said.
"By the way, brother, I heard that the third brother bought a house in the provincial capital. Is that true?" Second Aunt Gu changed the subject and talked about something else.
"This should be true, right? I don't know the details." Gu Chongshan said after thinking for a while.
Gu Chongshan really didn't know the details. After all, Gu Yan had a bad relationship with them, so no matter what it was, he would not tell them.
The reason why Gu Chongshan knew this was because he found out from Zhang Cuihua and Li Wanqing.
"Oh, Gu Yan has become successful now, you have to take care of your cousins in the future.
I heard that the third brother bought a big house in the county town.
"I must go and see him someday when I have time. The third child has become successful and has become estranged from us relatives." Aunt Gu said with a hint of meaning.
What could Gu Chongshan say? Gu Yan had no feelings for his family at all. Although he was a father, he could never stand up straight in front of Gu Yan.
Seeing that Gu Chongshan didn't say anything, Aunt Gu thought that he didn't want them to go to Gu Yan's house, and her face suddenly turned ugly.
"What? Big brother, now that your son has become successful, you look down on us? Don't you forget how Chonghai has helped you all these years?
Let's not talk about the distant past. How did your Gu Bei find a job? If it wasn't Chong Hai, who would the restaurant owner know him as?
Not to mention that Gu Bei and Gu Xiang were introduced to the town.
Big brother, you can't be ungrateful." Aunt Gu always had an inexplicable sense of superiority in front of the Gu family.
It’s the same now. In the past, no matter who came to Gu Chongshan’s house, she never had a good face.
It's only now that Gu Yan has become more capable that she has restrained herself a little.
But this is just on the surface. Deep down, she still looks down on the Gu family.
"No, no, that's not what I meant. You know, the third child was raised by his grandparents since he was a child, and he's not close to us.
I can't make the decision for the third brother, let alone you. I haven't even been to his house." Gu Chongshan explained helplessly.
Second Aunt Gu knew that Gu Yan was not valued by the family, but she didn't know that Gu Yan had already lost his heart and had long lost his admiration for Gu Chongshan.
Because when Gu Yan came here before, she treated him badly, but now that Gu Yan has become successful, she can't bring herself to get close to him even if she wants to.
I thought of starting with Gu Chongshan. After all, no matter how successful Gu Yan is, Gu Chongshan is still his father.
It seems that relying on Gu Chongshan and the others to get close to Gu Yan is impossible. I can only think of another way.
Since Gu Chongshan and the others were useless, Aunt Gu's expression suddenly darkened: "Since everything is fine, I will go back to see the children.
Chonghai, why don't you go get busy? Don't you see the dishes on the table over there haven't been cleared away yet? "
Second Aunt Gu perfectly demonstrated the principle of "people who are needed should be put forward, and people who are not needed should be put backward."
Gu Chongshan and Gu Nian were not unaware of other people's expressions, so they quickly stood up and said goodbye: "Well, what? Second brother, we'll go back first."
After leaving Uncle Gu’s restaurant, Gu Chongshan took Gu Nian to Guo Erlang’s house.
"You unlucky star, go wash your clothes. You are so bad at everything you do and you eat nothing.
Hurry up, you are a girl from the mountains and you should be grateful that you can marry into our family.
"What are you looking at? Hurry up and get back to work." Guo Erlang's mother cursed.
"That's right, mother, look, she still dares to glare at you. In my opinion, you should let Erlang deal with her.
If a woman can't even control a man, what's the point of having you?
It's no wonder Erlang doesn't like you. Look at you, you're so big and strong. You're nothing like Widow Song, who's gentle and considerate. Any man would like her." Guo Dalang's wife ate melon seeds and made sarcastic remarks.
"Erlang is out again? He doesn't have a job, is he going to look for Widow Song again?
"Sister-in-law, you're such a loser! You can't even take care of a man! How can you be so cowardly?" said Guo Sanlang's wife, sitting under the eaves while mending clothes.
