Aiduo was not sure either. "You can look at whatever you want. It's all right."
Gu Zhou nodded and said directly, "You are not destined to be married."
Aiduo was puzzled, "What does it mean that there is no marriage?"
"It means you won't get married. You've never loved anyone before, and you won't have anyone in the future."
Aiduo pursed her lips. It was true that she had never liked anyone until now. She seemed to have no interest in love or men. She didn't envy them nor wanted them. She preferred being alone.
But...if she doesn't get married, she will probably be driven to death.
Seeing Aiduo's entanglement, Gu Zhou continued, "Don't worry about what others say. As for your family's opinions, you can tell them directly. Even if you force yourself to get married, there will be no good results. This is absolutely true."
Qi Jing also nodded in agreement, "You can't get married!"
"Can I ask why?" Aiduo really felt it was strange. Although she had no intention of getting married now, if she was urged, she would still try to go on a blind date and get married.
But now Gu Zhou said that she couldn't get married because she had no fate, which made her a little confused.
Gu Zhou thought for a moment and explained, "Marriage will affect your family's fortune."
Aiduo accepted it immediately after hearing it, "It's good not to get married, it's free."
Seeing how quickly she accepted it, Gu Zhou couldn't help but laugh and continued, "After the fifteenth, take your dad to the hospital for treatment. After he's discharged, he has to come back here to recuperate."
"Is it because of the mountain god?"
Gu Zhou nodded. "Your father's condition is a bit serious now. If you want to recover, you have to rely on the mountain god. One more year is better. And your work does not require you to go out. This is the best option at the moment."
"Okay." Aiduo agreed immediately and then asked, "I want to know more about the luck change you mentioned earlier. Can you tell me more about it?"
Qi Jing spoke without hesitation, "There are actually many ways to change your luck. Some are just borrowing luck once or twice to improve your luck, or using others to protect you from disasters. Long-term luck-changing will make the person whose luck is changed poorly and unlucky.
"The death of a baby is different, but it has a similar meaning. However, what the other party changed was not your luck, but your family's life, starting with your father, so your father was the most affected."
Aiduo bit her lip, clenching her hands tightly under the table. After a while, she spoke, "So they are the ones who favor boys over girls, not my father. They were also the ones who caused the unrest in the family?"
Qi Jing nodded. "Although I didn't see the man's face, I saw the baby's death. It was drowned right after birth."
Aiduo sneered, "There's more than just one person who died."
"And more?!" Gu Zhou was shocked. Even if it was a baby girl, she was born after ten months of pregnancy. How could they be so cruel?
Ai Duo took a deep breath and replied, "They also had two daughters. After the first one was born, three of them died. They sent two away, and then the youngest daughter was born."
"I was wondering how the skeleton could be so clean. It turns out it was dug out and then buried again." Gu Zhou sighed inwardly. Putting aside Gu Xuanyi's memory, this was the first time he truly felt the reality of male chauvinism, where a man was not hesitant to kill his own daughter.
Aiduo didn't care about this, which was also the reason why she didn't stop Gu Zhou from burying the child back.
The one who was harmed was not the baby, and she couldn't direct her anger towards a child who had died long ago.
Aiduo calmed down and asked, "You said you wanted something? What is it?"
Qi Jing pointed at the necklace on Ai Duo's neck and said, "I want this."
Aiduo reached out and took out the pendant from her clothes, looking a little strange. "But this is just an ordinary silver necklace, only a few hundred dollars."
"You've worn this necklace for a long time, so it has some special meaning. It carries your aura and emotions, and it's a very useful item for us."
Ai Duo understood Gu Zhou's explanation. She took off the necklace and placed it in Qi Jing's palm. "I still want to ask what I need to pay attention to when offering sacrifices to the mountain god?"
Qi Jing replied, "You burn incense until the fifteenth day. If nothing unexpected happens, he will appear in your dream. Then you can ask him what he wants. If you raise him more, you won't need to spend copper coins to ask."
Aido nodded and was about to say something else when she heard a dog barking.
Qi Jing trembled with fear, and was hugged tightly by Gu Zhou, "It's okay, it's far away."
Qi Jing frowned, still a little scared. He used his hands and feet to climb onto Gu Zhou's legs and sat down, silent and depressed.
Aiduo just took a look and said nothing. She got up and went out, and saw the light of a mobile phone flashing in the distance.
It should be Ai Ping who came back at this time. Sure enough, within two minutes, Ai Duo heard Ai Ping's voice, and Xu Zhiyi followed behind him. The two walked very fast.
"dad!"
Aido shouted and went to meet him, and was hugged as soon as she got close.
Aido was startled by the thick embrace, and then she heard suppressed breathing sounds coming from above her head.
Ai Duo panicked and pushed Ai Ping away, asking, "Dad! What's wrong with you?"
Ai Ping's eyes were very red, and the originally yellow whites of his eyes returned to normal, with tears flashing faintly.
Ai Ping choked up and said, "It's okay! Dad just missed you. It's my fault for being so mean to you before. I was wrong. I will change from now on."
After hearing Ai Ping's apology, Ai Duo's eyes became red. She took the initiative to hug Ai Ping. She didn't say anything because she was afraid that she would burst into tears.
Ai Ping patted his daughter with heartache. At Xu's house, he suddenly came to his senses and realized what he had done in the past to make their home a mess.
His daughter came back to take care of him out of concern for him, but he repeatedly complained about his daughter's wastefulness and scolded her for not being enterprising and not knowing how to work and earn money at such a young age and just hanging around in her hometown.
The family finally came back to celebrate the New Year, but he quarreled over such a trivial matter, drove his wife, daughter and son-in-law away, and scared his grandson into crying.
He is such a bastard, such a bastard!
Aiduo didn't hug him for too long. She quickly calmed down and separated from him. She took Aiping back to the house and briefly explained what had happened.
Knowing that he was rescued by two young children, Ai Ping was very grateful. His speech was a little incoherent. He was really too excited.
Ai Duo calmed him down. Seeing him like this, she felt distressed and sad. She forced a smile and teased him, "Will you still drink in the future?"
"I'm not drinking anymore! Your mother can't stand the smell of cigarettes and alcohol. I'm going to quit drinking and smoking." Ai Ping said anxiously, thinking about how his wife had lived a hard life with him for more than 20 years, and he was still so irritating. He now wanted to slap himself a few times.
Ai Duo was moved by Ai Ping's assurance. "Call mom on video tonight and I'll plead for you."
Ai Ping agreed readily with a smile on his face. He was just an ordinary old father.
Everything that needed to be solved was solved, and Gu Zhou said goodbye and left, taking Qi Jing away.
Aiduo wanted to see them off, but was politely declined. She didn't insist and stood at the door with Aiping's support, her heart full of gratitude.
Xu Zhiyi was walking in front, feeling happy. He asked Azhu to go back first and shut the dog's mouth in Grandma Ai's house. The three of them walked back slowly with the light of their cell phones.
