Chapter 15: Something is wrong
For the first time ever, Zhang Lan not only left food for Gu Yan today, but also asked her to sleep a little longer and rest at home today without having to work in the fields.
When Gu Dagang saw that his wife treated Yan Yatou better, there was some warmth in his eyes. He picked up his hoe and went to the field to weed.
As for Gu Moli, after breakfast in the morning, she went into the west room, packed up her things, and took them to the east room.
In her opinion, there was only one night left, so she might as well squeeze in the east room for one night. She didn't want to sleep in the same room with Gu Yan.
After finishing all this, Gu Moli went out again. She would go to the special training team tomorrow. She also had to say goodbye to her playmates and show off.
But before leaving, she actually smiled at Gu Yan.
Gu Yan's eyelids jumped. Is the sun rising from the west?
During the day, Gu Yan was alone at home. She sat on a bamboo chair in the yard to bask in the sun, squinting her eyes like a cat, but her head was full of thoughts.
Zhang Lan and her daughter would definitely not suddenly change their temper. Moreover, letting Gu Moli do her job was something they had already said a long time ago, and it would not make them suddenly become nice to her.
Not to mention, she scared Gu Moli to death with what happened last night.
There must be something wrong when something is abnormal.
At this time, Aunt Sun was lying on the wall. Seeing Gu Yan basking in the sun alone in the yard, she whispered, "Girl Yan!"
"Aunt Sun!" Gu Yan's eyes lit up, and she stood up and walked to the wall. "Aunt is looking for me?"
"Are you home alone?" Seeing Gu Yan nod, Aunt Sun looked around mysteriously and lowered her voice, "Girl Yan, I was just at the store and saw Zhang Lan looking for that matchmaker, Old Li, and she said she wanted to arrange a marriage for you! You're eighteen, so it's normal to arrange a marriage. But as I listened, I felt something was wrong, because Zhang Lan said she didn't have high requirements for the other party, as long as she could help your brother get married! This, this is not a marriage exchange?!"
The smile on Gu Yan's face just now slowly disappeared, inch by inch.
No wonder Zhang Lan and her daughter acted so abnormally today. It seems like they were waiting for her here.
In my previous life, the marriage exchange took place a year later, but now it seems that it happened earlier than expected.
Seeing that Gu Yan didn't say anything, Aunt Sun looked around, a little angry, and said with a little distress, "Yan girl, Zhang Lan has bad intentions! Your brother is like that. If the other party is willing to marry their daughter to your brother, then the other party must be sick and can't get a wife. If you marry him, your life will be ruined. Why don't you be my daughter-in-law? Then I can say that you are engaged to my Qiliang. When Qiliang comes back from the special training team, you two can get married! I have always liked you and I wish I could treat you as my own daughter. Your brother Qiliang listens to me in everything."
Gu Yan was very touched. She knew that Aunt Sun was really kind to her.
However, she has Lu Ye in this life, and she only recognizes Lu Ye.
Gu Yan said, "Aunt, to be honest, the special training team came here to recruit people, and they chose me. They will come to take me to the team tomorrow. But my mother won't let me go, and said that my sister should go in my place, using my name. Now it seems that they want to arrange a marriage for me in advance and marry me off. Aunt, I have already thought of a plan, and I will go to the special training team tomorrow. You don't have to worry about me, but thank you anyway."
After hearing what Gu Yan said, Aunt Sun felt even more distressed, even though she was rejected. "What on earth is Zhang Lan thinking? She just acts like a spoiled child all day long! Her eldest daughter is promising, but she doesn't care and gives everything to her youngest daughter. She's so mean that she's even going as far as to get into trouble!"
Gu Yan smiled faintly and said nothing.
In her previous life, Aunt Sun also mentioned that she wanted me to be her daughter-in-law, but at that time, she actually had Lu Ye's shadow in her heart, but she hadn't realized it yet.
And at that time, Gu Yan naively believed that Zhang Lan would definitely not be so heartless, but reality slapped her in the face!
Recovering her thoughts, Gu Yan said to Aunt Sun in a firm tone, "Don't worry, Aunt, I will report to the special training team after tomorrow."
