However, Wu Erlaizi looked listless, with some bruises on his face, and he walked with a limp.
Everyone came to the conclusion that he must have been beaten up for stealing.
I have to say, this is absolutely gratifying!
Now let's talk about Old Master Gu's family.
Since the rascal got married, he and his wife have been living a harmonious and happy life.
As for his granddaughter, he had already prepared her dowry long ago.
He's not worried about his siblings at all now.
This thing in front of him was giving him a bit of annoyance.
Looking around at the men his age in the village, they all have wives and children, warm beds, and live fulfilling lives!
Unlike him, who was already soft-hearted, now he's also developed a stubborn streak.
"Gu Yansong, give me a straight answer, what are you really thinking? Are you really planning to stay single for the rest of your life?"
"Sir, you know how I feel."
"I've said it before, I will never marry anyone but Taozi in this lifetime." His voice was soft, but his tone carried an undeniable firmness.
"Are you really not going to regret it?" the old man asked quietly, tapping the cigarette from his hand.
"I have no regrets. I'm content with not having children my whole life."
"Alright, I'll send someone to propose marriage!" The old man sighed softly.
Sigh, when you get old, with the yellow earth almost burying your neck, you can't care about anything else anymore.
Since he can't live without her, then let him have his way!
"Sir, you really agree?"
Gu Yansong looked up at him, his eyes filled with obvious joy.
Seeing his excited expression, the old man felt much relieved. "I agree!"
I'm too old to deal with your trivial matters.
But Gu Yansong, you better remember this!
"You asked for this marriage yourself, so you'll have to endure whatever hardships you face from now on. Don't come crying to me."
"Okay, Grandpa, I'll remember what you said. Then go quickly!" Gu Yansong's expression was very solemn, with a hint of barely perceptible tension.
What's the rush?
"We've come this far all these years, why the rush?"
The old man straightened his clothes with feigned seriousness before slowly leaving the house and heading to the matchmaker's house.
But soon, the matchmaker came to the house with a message, saying that Taozi had not agreed to the marriage.
Hearing this, Gu Yansong felt a little disappointed, but when he thought of the suffering Taozi had endured over the years, he felt relieved.
She needs time, so I'll give her time.
Seeing that he was as stubborn as an ox, Old Master Gu simply gave up and let them be.
He should go back to the mountains to herd sheep.
It's more comfortable being with sheep than with this thing.
Now let's talk about Peach's family.
Aunt Yang pulled her into the room and earnestly spoke to her,
Why do you think you're doing this?
The Gu family sent someone to propose marriage, why don't you agree?
Isn't he partly responsible for how you've ended up where you are today?
Now that you're both divorced, isn't it good that you're living together?
Peach glanced at her coldly, "You dislike me so much that you have to kick me out?"
Aunt Yang's heart skipped a beat, a sharp pang of sorrow gripped her chest, and her voice trembled with emotion.
"Peach, I know you resent me, and you also resent your brother."
I know it's all my fault. You've had a miserable time in the Wang family all these years.
Although your brother got married, he never smiles. Seeing you like this makes me feel bad too.
If I had known it would turn out this way, I definitely wouldn't have forced you.
"It's all my fault, I deserve to die!" Before Aunt Yang could finish speaking, she covered her face and burst into tears.
Faced with her tears, the coldness in Peach's eyes finally dissipated somewhat.
"Mother, please don't cry!"
These things are in the past, let's not bring them up again.
As for the marriage with the Gu family, please don't mention it again. There's no possibility between us in this lifetime.
"I just want to pay off my debts now; we can talk about the rest later!"
After going through such a marriage, she was truly exhausted, so exhausted that she no longer had the courage to start over.
When she first arrived at the Wang family, Wang Tiezhu was genuinely fond of her for a while.
She had already resigned herself to her fate and planned to spend the rest of her life with him.
But what was the result...?
Although she and Gu Yansong grew up together and had a special bond.
But people's hearts are fickle, and who knows what the future holds?
She was tired and didn't want to test people's hearts anymore.
Since we've already missed our chance, why dwell on it?
She stood up from the stool, walked straight out of the room, and didn't say a word of comfort to Aunt Yang.
Then, Aunt Yang's cries echoed throughout the entire courtyard.
~~ ...
Gu Yanliu has really had a moment of triumph these days.
No one in the village spoke ill of her family anymore. Whenever she went out, the aunties would take the initiative to chat with her.
They were so friendly, all smiling as they asked her about Gu Yanbai.
She subtly and overtly inquired about her brother's business and how he made so much money.
But who is Gu Yanliu? How could he not know what they were thinking?
These people used to gossip about their family behind their backs, and they talked about it very happily.
Now that you see they're doing well, you want to get close to them? There's no such thing as a free lunch.
She turned her head away haughtily and snorted, "What business do I have to do with you? If you want to know, go ask my brother!"
There's some cement and sand left over from building a well at home, and it's not good to just leave it there.
