Chapter 271: Separation
"Yes, since everyone thinks they are right, let's leave it to the county magistrate to judge."
Gu Jiayue, who has received modern education, first reacts to seeking help from the government when encountering problems.
Of course, if it was the previous county magistrate, she still didn't dare to look for him.
But the current county magistrate is Zheng Qinghe, a serious gentleman and a good official. She has great faith in his abilities.
Liu Shi knew exactly what she had done, and she was naturally a little flustered when she heard what Gu Jiayue said. "Look at you, girl. There's no need to trouble the county magistrate during the New Year. We can handle this kind of trivial matter ourselves."
No ordinary citizen is afraid of officials. Even seeing yamen runners on ordinary days would make them tremble with fear, let alone an official whose words could decide their life or death.
Normally, if they had to meet, they would try their best to avoid him. But Gu Jiayue was so good that she went to invite him herself.
Qian Yulin also hurried forward, licking his face. "Yes, second sister, they say that family disgrace should not be made public. You are an educated person, so you must know more than us."
Gu Jiayue sneered, feeling very disappointed at her brother-in-law who couldn't tell right from wrong. "What family scandal? Whose family scandal? What does your Qian family's scandal have to do with my Gu family?"
Whether a family is stable and harmonious depends to a large extent on whether the man has the wisdom to handle family relationships.
But now it seems that Qian Yulin didn't. Not only that, he might even make the situation worse.
My elder sister's life will probably not be easy if she lives with such a person.
Qian Yulin hadn't expected Gu Jiayue to be so disrespectful. For a moment, a trace of resentment arose in his heart.
Suddenly he remembered what Liu had said to him.
The Gu family was now wealthy and looked down on their poor relatives. In the future, he would have to be humble and subservient when interacting with Gu Chunyan.
These words swirled in Qian Yulin's mind like a curse, then sank into his heart. Looking back at Gu Chunyan, the love and joy he had felt before were gone. He even felt a bit of resentment.
It's just a few bucks, what's the big deal?
"Second sister, it was indeed my mother who was wrong today. I will take my mother home right away. I hope my second sister will be merciful." Qian Yulin sighed and bowed to Gu Jiayue.
But when he bent down, the humility on his face instantly turned into resentment.
She will remember this grudge!
Gu Jiayue dodged sideways. "Look at what you said. I'm not the one your family is sorry for, so why are you saying sorry to me?"
She looked up at Gu Chunyan. In fact, this matter was really difficult for an outsider to handle.
After all, this was ancient times, and whether it was divorce or divorce, it was not easy or glorious. Especially since the two had just been married for a short time, if they separated like this, Gu Chunyan would never be able to survive in Annan County in this life.
Yes, this is how the society is. There is no unreasonableness. It was not Gu Chunyan who did something wrong, but others blamed her.
Qian Yulin was able to learn the craft from the old carpenter, so he was certainly not stupid. After hearing this, he knew that the final decision on this matter would still be made by Gu Chunyan.
He quickly turned around and said, "My wife, I was wrong just now. Please forgive me if my words offended me. I am a carefree person and did act impulsively. Please be kind and forgive me."
Gu Chunyan looked at Gu Jiayue, and with her encouraging eyes, she said firmly, "Qian Yulin, as long as you separate from your parents, I will let this matter go."
It wasn't that she was weak, nor that she couldn't leave Qian Yulin. It was just that she had no choice but to back down on this matter.
First of all, they had just gotten married, and if they divorced like this, Gu Chunyan was worried that the girls in the Gu family would be implicated.
Secondly, Qian Yulin was not without his merits. As long as his mother wasn't involved, he was a very clear-headed person. Gu Chunyan believed that as long as she separated him from his mother, she would be able to change his personality over time.
Finally, Gu Chunyan decided that it was New Year's Eve and there was no need to make everyone unhappy. She would have plenty of ways to deal with this family in the future and let them know who was the boss of the family.
"My wife, how can this be possible? As long as our parents are still alive, we won't divide the family." Qian Yulin couldn't understand why things turned out like this.
If he split up the family, how would the villagers view him? Wouldn't they tear his spine apart?
Although she was mentally prepared, Gu Chunyan couldn't help feeling disappointed when she saw Qian Yulin's refusal without hesitation.
"Okay, if you don't want to split up the family, then take your mother and get out of my house! We, the Gu family, don't welcome you!"
Having said that, Qian Yulin knew very well that there was no turning back.
"My dear, I will take Mom to see a doctor first. Have fun at your mother's house, and I will pick you up tomorrow." He was not stupid. He had already realized that no matter what he said today, Gu Chunyan would not go home with him.
Why don't we separate temporarily and let everyone calm down.
"Bah! You shameless family! You are not welcome in the Gu family. If you come again, I will break your legs!" Even the strong-willed aunt-in-law's eyes were red. The restraint she had cultivated during this period was gone. She cursed in dialect with unspeakable swear words. Scared, Gu Jiayue quickly covered Gu Zhigeng's ears.
It was so filthy, the aunt's curse was really filthy. And she spoke so fast that Liu Shi couldn't find a chance to retort.
Gu Zhigeng leaned in Gu Jiayue's arms and whispered, "The familiar aunt is back again." As he spoke, he pretended to shake.
Gu Jiayue smiled and patted him. "It's been a while since you've been scolded by your aunt, so you're itching for trouble, right?"
Gu Zhigeng stuck out his tongue and stopped talking.
Amidst the scolding from his aunt-in-law, Qian Yulin helped Liu leave the Gu family in embarrassment.
"Chunyan, don't be sad. Just stay at home. If his family doesn't show an attitude, we won't go back." The aunt patted the back of Gu Chunyan's hand soothingly.
"Yes, yes, our family can afford to support you, so we won't suffer this humiliation."
Everyone in the Gu family, young and old, gathered around Gu Chunyan to comfort her, and no one noticed the eldest aunt slipping out through the crack in the door.
"Wait, Liu, wait for me!" After making sure that no one in the Gu family noticed her leaving, the eldest aunt Gu Dongxue went to Liu without stopping.
Liu was carried on Qian Yulin's back, and she was feeling dizzy. "Yulin, why do I hear someone calling me?"
Qian Yulin was thinking about how to solve today's problem and didn't pay attention to the situation outside. Hearing Liu's words, he replied directly. "Mom, we don't have any relatives in Taohua Village. Who would call us? You must have misheard."
Liu grabbed Qian Yulin's shoulders and asked him to stop. "You heard right, someone really is calling me."
Seeing that the two had finally stopped, Gu Dongxue couldn't help but quicken her pace to catch up with them.
"Sister Liu, why are you walking so fast? I've been calling you, didn't you hear me?" She was almost exhausted from chasing him all the way here.
However, when a person wants to do something bad, he will not mind the trouble.
Liu looked at the eldest sister-in-law of the Gu family. When she was beaten just now, this person was gloating beside her. What did he want to do now? Continue to laugh at her?
She wasn't a cunning person, so her emotions showed on her face as she thought about it. With a sullen face, she asked in a stern tone, "Why are you chasing me? Are you searching me to see if I have any of the Gu family's treasures?"
Having said this, she subconsciously covered her chest with her wrist, where was a salted duck egg that she had just hidden.
I heard that this thing is now sold for ten cents each in the county town, but the Gu family just took out a large plate to entertain their guests. It can be seen that they don’t know how to live.
Gu Dongxue didn't mind Liu's attitude at all. "Look at what Big Sister said. I'm different from them. I know Big Sister was wronged just now, and I came here to comfort her."
Liu looked at Gu Dongxue suspiciously. Why was she so unconvinced? Could there be such a kind person in the Gu family?
"Sister Liu, my eldest brother and his wife have some money now, and they've become completely arrogant. And that girl from my third brother's family thinks she's so great just because she's a headmaster. After all, isn't she just a little girl? Even if she gets married in the future, won't she still be controlled by her parents?"
After just a few simple words, Liu felt that she had found a soulmate.
Her hand no longer hurt, and her head was no longer dizzy. She gestured to Qian Yulin to put him down, then took Gu Dongxue's hand and began to complain non-stop.
Both of them felt that everyone in the Gu family was extremely annoying, and that every word the other person used to insult the Gu family touched their hearts.
But after just a short stick of incense, the two of them were eager to become sworn sisters immediately.
Liu let out a breath, unable to stop smiling. "Sister, I didn't expect that we, heroes, see eye to eye. There aren't many people in this world as clear-headed as us."
Gu Dongxue also smiled widely. "That's right. If only I had met you earlier, I wouldn't have been forced to swallow my anger after being ganged up on by the Gu family."
"But they are all juniors, and we as elders cannot argue with them. We even have to worry about their major life events."
Liu didn't react at once.
No, what do you mean by that? Were you the one who just wished the Gu family would die out? Now you're saying you're worried about their life events? Are you sick?
Seeing that Liu didn't respond, Gu Dongxue became anxious. She had been out for a long time, and it would be bad if the Gu family found out.
"Old sister, I heard that your husband's family has a nephew who is very handsome but still hasn't found a wife at the age of thirty?"
"Ah? Who?" Liu didn't react for a moment. How could there be a nephew in her family who was so handsome but still hadn't found a wife at the age of thirty?
If he was really handsome, why wouldn't he be able to find a wife at the age of 30?
