But her husband is honest; in situations like this, his mouth is as if it's been sewn shut, and he won't utter a single sound.
He would also secretly advise her, saying that suffering a loss is a blessing.
God's blessing, who wants this kind of blessing?
Every time she thinks about these things, she gets so angry that her heart aches.
I regret how I was so blind to have fallen for such a loser.
I also regret arguing with my grandfather over such a thing, which made him sad.
Her strong sense of pride prevented her from confiding in her family, so she had no choice but to grit her teeth and bear it.
Whenever she thought of these things, she felt even more ashamed when facing the old man.
Every time she returned to her parents' home after marriage, she would conceal her true situation well, so that he wouldn't see her predicament.
But whenever the old man's slightly cloudy eyes swept over her, it was as if he could see through all her hidden thoughts.
Therefore, she always felt very uncomfortable whenever she went back to her parents' home.
Later, she went home less and less often.
Listening to his summary, Su Nianxue compared these statements with the man in her memory.
She didn't know much else, only that judging from his appearance, the man did seem quite honest.
“My sister had a big fight with Grandpa because of him, which made him so angry that he ignored her for several days.”
Gu Yanbai recalled the scene at the time. At first, the old man was gentle and kind, explaining the reasons to her in a soft and gentle way.
The old man said that such families are full of troubles, and if a woman marries into one, even the best feelings will eventually wear away.
The most important thing for a man is to have the ability to support his family; it's not enough to just be good-looking.
When you have enough to eat and wear, a good-looking face is definitely a plus.
But if you can't even solve the problem of food and clothing, then your face is of no use.
After all, you can't get enough of just looking at faces, can you?
He remembered that when the old man said those words, the sarcasm on his lips never faded.
He repeatedly said that marriage is a major life event and should be taken seriously.
Otherwise, if you regret it later, there will be nowhere to regret it.
Unfortunately, her older sister was deeply in love with him at the time and was determined to marry him, so she wouldn't listen to anything the old man said.
It's just that times have changed, and when it comes to important matters like marriage, people should be able to make their own decisions.
She's grown up now and can decide her own marriage.
These words made the old man so angry that he was panting heavily, and his face was so dark it was almost dripping water.
To be honest, it's a waste of time to raise her all these years.
The two remained deadlocked for several days, but ultimately, the arm couldn't twist the thigh.
In the end, the matter ended with the old man's compromise.
While preparing his elder sister's dowry, he angrily cursed, "Gu Yanhe, if you ever suffer any injustice in the future, don't ever come crying to me."
My sister was very firm at the time, saying that he would treat her very well and that she would definitely be very happy in the future.
Hearing this, Su Nianxue sighed.
The old man is older and has experienced more, so he is indeed more experienced in judging people and situations than the younger generation.
Judging from Gu Yanhe's words and actions now, it seems that the old man had predicted it correctly.
She asked, "What exactly do you like about him, sister?"
"She said Zhou Wu was handsome, obedient to her, and spoke in a refined manner, and would occasionally recite a few lines of poetry to her."
Su Nianxue………
This standard is... very difficult to define!
She didn't know anything else, since she'd only met him once, but as for his appearance, "Let alone Zhou Wu's looks..."
"Hmm?" Gu Yanbai tightened his grip on her waist, his eyes clearly conveying a warning.
Su Nianxue burst out laughing. "Gu Yanbai, that's your own brother-in-law. What kind of jealousy are you having?"
"Su Nianxue, which eye of yours saw me being jealous?" He lifted her chin with one hand, forcing her to look him in the eye.
But deep within his dark pupils, there were clearly tiny flames.
Su Nianxue readily complied and immediately begged for forgiveness, "Okay, okay, you definitely didn't."
You, Gu Yanbai, are a man of integrity and upright character. How could you possibly be jealous, right?
"I must be seeing things because my eyes are getting old!"
He stroked her eyelashes with his fingers. "Su Nianxue, how old are you? How dare you call yourself old?"
"Why don't you go and tell Grandpa your story tomorrow?"
These big eyes are bright and expressive, sometimes mischievous, sometimes playful, and sometimes quite infuriating. Who has presbyopia like this?
"What do you know? I'm just old in spirit but young in beauty."
I'm actually not that old, but my heart feels weathered, as if decades have passed. Isn't that unacceptable?
She felt she was right; no one could understand how difficult, heartbreaking, and exhausting her life had been over the years.
Gu Yanbai: "Oh, I see. You mean living with me is like living a year in a day, right?"
She suddenly climbed up from his chest, gently pinching his cheeks with both hands, "What are you saying?"
Our family is living such a good life, when have I ever felt like I'm living in a nightmare?
Moreover, living with you...
"You've even learned to keep people in suspense now?" He put his arm around her waist and gently scratched her. "Go on. Where did you learn this bad habit of always keeping people in suspense?"
"Didn't I learn it from you?" She suddenly jumped off him and nimbly slipped under the covers.
"Su Nianxue, come out here. You're not allowed to sleep until you finish saying that sentence."
"I'm so sleepy, let's talk about this tomorrow!"
"Su Nianxue, you're getting more and more shameless."
"Really? I think it's great!"
She poked her head out from under the covers, blinked her big eyes twice, and her thick eyelashes cast a shadow under her eyes, making her look very innocent.
A jolt of electricity seemed to strike his heart, sending a tingling sensation through him. He suddenly felt a pang of reluctance to disturb the tranquility.
He lay down on the bed and turned off the lights. "Go to sleep."
Su Nianxue's eyes sparkled with laughter, "I'm very... happy living with you."
"Hmm!" He squeezed out a single word through his nose, but his mouth stretched almost to the back of his ears.
"Gu Yanbai, you..." He dismissed her with just one word. Wasn't he usually quite talkative?
Why are you suddenly mute?
She pried his hands off her waist and was about to roll away from him.
"Don't move." He took her hand and placed it on his lips. "I'm smiling. Feel if your smile stretches all the way to your ears?"
Su Nianxue burst out laughing, then said seriously, "No, it's far from that!"
The sound of the light cord clicking was heard again inside the room, and soon the incandescent bulb turned on.
He grabbed one corner of his mouth with one hand, pulled it apart forcefully to reveal a set of big white teeth, and then mumbled, "Now!"
"Okay, stop pulling, or you'll really tear your mouth off." Looking at these distorted lips, which should have been ugly, she thought they were incredibly beautiful.
Hearing the playful noises coming from next door, Gu Yanhe became even more unable to sleep.
