Chapter 177 Gu Xiang Gets Married
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was Gu Xiang's wedding day.
Gu Yan and Li Wanqing also returned to the farm with their children.
"Third sister-in-law, thank you for letting me get married from the farm." Gu Xiang took Li Wanqing's hand affectionately and thanked her.
"No need to thank me. I just want you to get married here. It won't affect anything." Li Wanqing said with a smile.
“It has no impact on you, sister-in-law, but it is very important to me.
If you, third sister-in-law, don't agree to me getting married on the farm, then I can only get married in the inn.
That would make me lose face. It would be a joke for the Guo family to marry a mountain girl like me.
If I marry off the farm, I can at least save some face." Gu Xiang was more enthusiastic towards Li Wanqing than ever before.
Li Wanqing knew why Gu Xiang was suddenly so enthusiastic about her, but she had no intention of playing the role of sister-in-law with her.
There's no need for that. She's just helping out without harming her own interests.
Even if it wasn't Gu Xiang, but the neighbors came to her for help, she would agree.
"Even if it wasn't you today, but someone else I know, I would still agree. You don't have to take it to heart." Li Wanqing pulled her hand away.
Gu Xiang choked. The reason she said that was because she wanted to get closer to Li Wanqing so that they could interact with each other in the future.
Unexpectedly, Li Wanqing didn't fall for it at all and distanced herself from her with just one sentence.
"Where are your fourth sister-in-law and the others? Didn't they come with you?" Li Wanqing looked around but didn't see Gu Chuan and the others.
"There's no room here, so they went to stay at my second brother's house. They agreed to come early tomorrow morning." Gu Xiang was packing her dowry.
"Is that so? It's true that there's not enough space here. It would be nice to move out."
You clean up by yourself, I'm going back to the house." Li Wanqing didn't want to say anything more to her, so she turned around and wanted to go back.
"Third sister-in-law," Gu Xiang looked at the silver hairpin on Li Wanqing's head, hesitated for a moment, and then called her.
"Is there anything else?" Li Wanqing turned around and asked.
Gu Xiang hesitated for a moment, then said, "Third sister-in-law, the silver hairpin on your head is really beautiful.
Can you lend it to me for a day tomorrow? Don't worry, I'll wear it for a day and return it to you the day after tomorrow."
After she finished speaking, Gu Xiang looked at her expectantly.
Li Wanqing sneered, "Gu Xiang, what are you thinking? This is the hairpin your third brother bought for me. How could I possibly lend it to you?"
He eats according to the size of his bowl. He may not have any other abilities, but he is quite vain.
Gu Xiang's face flushed red after being told this by Li Wanqing, and she felt ashamed in her heart, but she still said stubbornly, "Why do you have to say such harsh words, sister-in-law?
I'm just borrowing it for a bit, if I'm not going to return it to you, you don't have to be so stingy, right?"
"You know how stingy I am." Li Wanqing said and went back to the east room where they lived without looking back.
In the room, Gu Yan was taking Xuanxuan to look after Xiao Hengheng.
Seeing Li Wanqing come in, he looked up and said, "Are you back? Did you find out everything?"
The reason why Gu Yan asked this was because when they arrived, no one else was at home except Gu Xiang.
"I asked, and found out that Gu Chuan and his family went to live with your second brother, and your eldest brother and his family and your parents went to live with your aunt.
But your parents will be back soon." Li Wanqing said uninterested.
Gu Yan quickly noticed that she was in a bad mood and immediately came over to ask, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Li Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief and told Gu Yan what Gu Xiang had done.
"I used to think Gu Chuan and Gu Xiang were quite sensible, but now it seems they are just as greedy." Li Wanqing said finally.
Gu Yan didn't have much contact with his younger siblings, and usually they just kept their distance, so he wasn't annoyed by what Li Wanqing said.
He nodded in agreement: "Let's not associate with them in the future. I always feel that there must be something wrong with the Guo family marrying Gu Xiang.
I had a feeling they were coming for me, and I didn't want to be the one getting taken advantage of.
Alas, I guess Gu Xiang’s future life will not be easy. I have advised them to let Gu Xiang cancel the engagement.
But they didn’t listen, thinking I had bad intentions.”
"If you don't want to listen, then don't listen. You have already tried your best. It's not your fault if you suffer in the future." Li Wanqing said indifferently.
It was true that Gu Xiang chose her own path, and she had to bear any consequences herself.
And it's obvious why a young man from a small town would want to marry a girl from the mountains.
This is either greed or there is something wrong with the young man himself.
She also heard that this marriage was arranged by Gu Bei, and it was said that Guo Erlang's eldest brother was the owner of the shop where Gu Bei worked.
Li Wanqing wondered if the Guo family had other motives, but she knew there was definitely something wrong with Guo Erlang.
But none of this is her business. Their relationship was not good to begin with, and now that she knows that Gu Xiang's character is not very good, she will care even less.
As the two were talking, Gu Chongshan and Zhang Dahua came back.
They just went to Gu Xiaogu's house, and when they came back they saw the oil lamp in the east room was on, so they knew that Gu Yan and the others were back.
"Third brother, third brother, are you asleep? Your mother and I are coming in." Gu Chongshan said loudly at the door of Gu Yan and their room.
"Come in." Gu Yan glanced at Li Wanqing and said after getting Li Wanqing's permission.
After getting permission, Gu Chongshan and Zhang Dahua lifted the curtain and entered the house.
"Mom and Dad." Li Wanqing stood up and greeted them.
Although I don’t like the old couple, I still have to show basic courtesy.
"Hey, come and see Xuanxuan. I heard that he goes to school?" Gu Chongshan said.
"Grandpa." Xuanxuan walked over at Li Wanqing's signal.
"Hey, good boy, come here and let grandma see you." Zhang Dahua couldn't help but love her grandson when she saw his little body standing straight.
"Grandma." Xuanxuan called out, but did not go over.
To be honest, he was not familiar with his grandparents. Although he was young, he knew from his parents' words that his grandparents did not like his father.
As a result, they also didn't like him, and since he could remember, he had only seen his grandparents twice.
"Hey, hey, my eldest grandson looks so handsome, come and let grandma take care of him." Zhang Dahua said as she wanted to reach out and hug Xuanxuan.
Xuanxuan took a step back in fear. He wasn't familiar with Zhang Dahua, and his parents just told him to call her grandma. He didn't want her to hug him.
Xuanxuan's retreat left Zhang Dahua's hand empty, and Zhang Dahua felt a little embarrassed.
She smiled and took her hand back and said, "This child is still so unfamiliar with grandma."
Li Wanqing glanced at her without saying anything. She hadn't even spoken a few words to the child, and now she came up and wanted to hug him. How was that possible?
Gu Chongshan also felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so he quickly made small talk: "Hey, is this the second child? The child is so big now, and this is the first time grandpa has seen him.
Here, this is a gift from grandpa."
As Gu Chongshan spoke, he took out a tael of silver from his pocket.
