Gu Yanliu was still somewhat unconvinced; she was already sixteen years old and an adult.
Su Nianxue quickly tugged at her sleeve. Was there even a need to ask?
Judging from this situation, it's clear that it's hopeless.
The old man didn't bother to talk to them. With a dark face, he went to the backyard and drove the sheep up the mountain.
Gu Yansong also went down to the field with a hoe.
Let's talk about the third aunt's family.
"Auntie, is this the good family you were talking about?"
Look at their behavior!
They left without saying more than two words. Aren't they just playing with people?
If I had known it would be like this, I wouldn't have come. You just made it sound so wonderful.
"Isn't this a waste of my time?" the woman on the blind date complained to the third aunt.
"And now you're blaming me?"
Don't you even think about what conditions you're proposing?
We had clearly agreed in private that we would only bring one child in, but you suddenly changed your mind and wanted to bring both of them.
She comes in and expects to treat it like her own home, ignoring her unmarried sister-in-law. No wonder they wouldn't agree to that!
The third aunt rolled her eyes. Such high demands? Did they think the grandmother and grandson were fools?
"If they don't agree, we can continue the discussion."
If I don't get them under my control from the start, how will I have a good life in the future?
Auntie, why don't you go and ask again?
Tell them you can be a little more lenient with my conditions. To be fair, Gu Jia's financial situation is quite good.
This man looks like an honest person, and his family is wealthy.
For a widow with two children like her to find such a family is already quite remarkable.
She wanted to give it a try.
The old woman shook her head vigorously, "No, let's leave it at that!"
It's obvious she's not interested; she sees it clearly. Even if you visit again, it will be the same result.
Soon, Wang Erya and the others returned from the market, listening to the sounds coming from next door.
Gu Yanliu lay on the table, feeling rather bored.
"Sister-in-law, why don't we go with them tomorrow?"
Anyway, my brother won't be back for a while.
"This is between you and me. As long as neither of us tells anyone, my brother will never know."
Su Nianxue shook her head. "No."
Before your brother left, he repeatedly told us not to go secretly.
Besides, nothing stays hidden forever. Do you want him to beat you up?
She really didn't want to try the "act first, ask questions later" approach again.
Seeing her listless appearance, she said again,
"Don't worry, once your brother comes back, I'll slowly persuade him, and he'll definitely agree."
The house next door, belonging to Aunt Yang.
Wang Erya and Taozi walked into the courtyard chatting and laughing.
As soon as Gou Dan saw them, he ran out of the house and asked, "Mom, Aunt, what are you laughing at?"
Peach gently pinched his little cheek. "We bought meat today. I'll make you meatballs for lunch, okay?"
"Great!" Gou Dan's eyes lit up when he heard there would be meatballs to eat.
Seeing this scene, Aunt Yang felt both gratified and bittersweet.
The two of them have been going out every day these days, and they're much darker than before.
However, the smiles on their faces became even more frequent.
Especially Taozi, whose originally thin and pale face has actually started to regain color these days.
She has also gained some weight.
She came out of the main room and said, "You two must have a lot of money to burn!"
"We can't eat this meat every day! Wouldn't it be better to save it up?"
Taozi glanced at Wang Erya first, and saw that she did not look angry.
Then he said, "Mother, what are you talking about?"
My sister-in-law was just thinking of giving you and the kids some nourishment, wasn't she?
Look at you, you don't even know how to enjoy a good life?
Aunt Yang sighed, "Who doesn't want a good life? This is just..."
The thought of the debt her family owed, especially to the Gu family, made her feel choked up and uncomfortable.
"Mother, don't worry, we'll pay this back sooner or later." Peach knew exactly what her mother was thinking!
Gou Dan'er was clever; he fetched two jugs of water from the house and said, "Mom, Auntie, have some water."
Zhi Xi was delighted to receive the peach and then rubbed his little head.
Wang Erya looked at him with a gratified expression.
But Aunt Yang felt even more bitter.
Seeing that Wang Erya had gone to the kitchen, she pulled Taozi into the room to talk.
"Peach, it's been a while since you came back."
Or, I could ask someone to help you... find a marriage partner!
The smile on Peach's face vanished completely.
"Mother, can't you tolerate me at all? I've only been back for a few days, and you already want to kick me out!"
Aunt Yang quickly waved her hand, "I didn't mean to send you away, I just asked someone to keep an eye on things for you."
If we find someone suitable, we can go and meet them.
Besides, what woman doesn't get married? Can she stay at her parents' home forever?
Peach's voice suddenly rose a little, "Why not?"
Mother, I'm making this clear today: I will never get married again in my life.
If you really don't like me, after I help my brother and sister-in-law pay off this debt, I'll... I'll move out.
Peach bit her lip, making a difficult decision in her heart.
"You brat, what kind of nonsense are you spouting?"
When did I ever say I didn't like you? I was just looking out for you.
"If you don't find a family while you're young, what will you do when you're old?"
Aunt Yang wiped her eyes. Over the years, the matter of peaches had become a major worry for her.
She hated herself for ruining Taozi, and she also hated the Gu family for not valuing Taozi.
