She would never admit that she was worried about her mother.
When Gu Lili and Zhang Dahua returned, Gu Erniu and Aunt Zhang were still standing at the gate of Gu Lili's courtyard.
Seeing Zhang Dahua brought back by Gu Lili, Aunt Zhang finally felt relieved.
Aunt Zhang stepped forward and pulled Zhang Dahua over, the movement of her hand causing Zhang Dahua to unconsciously close her eyes.
Gu Lili and Gu Erniu were also startled, thinking that Aunt Zhang was going to hit Zhang Dahua.
Just as she was about to speak up to stop him, she saw Aunt Zhang gently raise her hand and, by the moonlight, tuck the stray hairs from Zhang Dahua's forehead behind her ear.
"If you have something to say, just tell your mother properly. Why are you running away?" Aunt Zhang said in a hoarse voice.
Zhang Dahua ran away just now, and her heart was in her throat.
She ran towards the sea; if anything bad happened to her, she would never forgive herself for the rest of her life.
Zhang Dahua could no longer control her emotions and threw herself into Aunt Zhang's arms, sobbing uncontrollably.
She didn't know why she had lost control tonight. Her mother had just mentioned it, and she started yelling and arguing with her mother.
Seeing her mother so worried about her, Zhang Dahua couldn't help but feel guilty.
After thanking Gu Lili, Aunt Zhang took Zhang Dahua back home.
Back home, Zhang Dahua took the initiative to apologize to Aunt Zhang, saying, "Mother, it was all my fault just now. I should have talked to you properly instead of getting angry and running out."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhang felt a pang of sorrow in her heart; how could she not love her own daughter?
However, her cousin's family is indeed well-off, and if Da Hua marries into their family, she will definitely suffer less.
"Your mother is wrong too. I should tell you slowly. But Da Hua, my cousin's family is indeed well-off, and I know them quite well. If you marry into their family, you definitely won't suffer," Aunt Zhang said earnestly.
She still wanted to persuade Zhang Dahua again, because parents who love their children plan far ahead for them.
She wanted to marry Da Hua off, not because she wanted to get more dowry money, but because she only had one daughter, Zhang Da Hua, and she just wanted her to be well.
When Zhang Dahua heard her mother bring up the matter again, she almost lost her temper and exploded.
But when she thought of Gu Lili's words, Zhang Dahua calmed down instantly.
Then, patiently and carefully, she told Aunt Zhang about what she had witnessed about her cousin beating his wife.
When Aunt Zhang heard this, her eyes widened like copper bells.
"How come I've never heard of my cousin beating his wife? You must be mistaken, Da Hua!" Aunt Zhang exclaimed in surprise.
She had grown up with her cousin since childhood and had always been honest and law-abiding. She couldn't believe that her cousin would hit someone.
Zhang Dahua said firmly, "Mother, how could I joke about something like this? If you don't believe me, you can go and ask around. If my uncle can beat his wife in the street, he must be unrestrained at home."
Aunt Zhang thought that this made perfect sense.
Since her marriage, she has visited her aunt's house only a handful of times.
Therefore, my impression of my cousin has always been based on my childhood.
It seems I should do some more research before making a decision.
The mother and daughter opened up and talked about their differences, then went back to their rooms to sleep.
Uncle Zhang, who had been eavesdropping nearby, watched as his wife and children reconciled and then fell into a deep sleep, relieved.
Back in her room, Zhang Dahua tossed and turned, unable to sleep, Gu Lili's words constantly echoing in her mind.
A person who makes me happy just by thinking about them.
And Gu Erniu's image always appeared in front of him.
I remember five years ago, I went up the mountain to find wild vegetables and accidentally fell down. It was Gu Erniu who carried me down.
Despite her frail body, she made it home without stopping for a single step.
Along the way, Gu Erniu's bones hurt Zhang Dahua.
But it was also deeply imprinted in my heart.
At that time, the two families lived far apart, and Gu Erniu rarely went out, so the two were not familiar with each other.
Later, he went to work as a helper in a restaurant in town and rarely came back.
When Gu Erniu returned this time, he was completely different from the person he remembered from his childhood.
Although they were still wearing coarse cloth clothes, they were clean.
Moreover, she seems to have grown taller and gained weight, and she also seems to have become more attractive.
Especially when she laughs...
Thinking of this, Zhang Dahua turned over irritably, shook her head vigorously, and tried to stop herself from thinking about it anymore.
Gu Erniu also couldn't sleep, but went to sleep as soon as Gu Lili came back.
He had originally intended to ask about the matter, but now he couldn't, which left him feeling somewhat confused and upset.
Gu Erniu tossed and turned, unable to sleep, and kept sighing, which also kept Gu Lili from sleeping next door.
"Erniu, come out here, I have something to ask you!" Gu Lili whispered outside the shack.
Upon hearing that it was his sister calling him, Gu Erniu immediately got up and ran out without even putting on his shoes.
"Sister, what were you talking about with Sister Da Hua just now?" Gu Erniu asked impatiently.
Actually, Zhang Dahua wasn't much older than Gu Erniu by more than a few months.
Looking at her younger brother's expression, Gu Lili was 100% certain that Gu Erniu liked Zhang Dahua.
Gu Lili told Gu Erniu everything that had just happened between her and Zhang Dahua.
The reason she didn't ask Zhang Dahua about her impression of Gu Erniu was because she was afraid it would be awkward if the two of them saw each other later.
Love is like a thin sheet of paper; you have to break through it yourself.
However, Gu Lili could ask her younger brother what he thought.
"Erniu, tell me the truth, do you like your sister Dahua?" Gu Lili asked gossipy.
Gu Erniu's face instantly turned bright red, but he still nodded obediently.
Zhang Dahua was laughing all the time.
He felt that Zhang Dahua was like the sun, radiating warmth at all times.
He was actually quite clueless about words, so I guess this could be considered liking it.
In short, he was indeed flustered when he heard that Aunt Zhang wanted to arrange a marriage for him.
Seeing Gu Erniu like this, Gu Lili couldn't help but facepalm.
This child is way too precocious.
However, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. Since she really likes it, as the older sister, I should naturally do my best to help.
"If you like your sister Da Hua, then you have to use your sincerity to move her and let her understand your feelings," Gu Lili said earnestly.
Gu Erniu was a little confused after hearing this.
Seeing his silly look, Gu Lili couldn't help but give him a sharp rap on the head.
"Whenever there's something delicious or fun to do, she'll think of you, Big Sister Hua. That's how she'll gradually understand."
