Although Lu Yan is also older, he is still much better than Teacher Zhen. The imbalance in Gu Weiqiang's heart also disappeared. This Lu Yan is not bad. Let's just use this son-in-law for what he wants!
Teacher Zhen's face flashed with embarrassment. He admitted, "I know that I don't meet these two hard conditions, but Uncle Gu, I really like Banxia, and I hope you can give me a chance."
Gu Huazi did not answer, but asked, "If you have a daughter in the future, will you agree if your daughter finds a man with such conditions?"
This time, Teacher Zhen was silent.
Banxia rushed up in a hurry, "Dad! Don't humiliate Teacher Zhen!"
Gu Huazi looked at the daughter he had loved for so many years, and now she was speaking for Teacher Zhen wholeheartedly, and his heart sank, "Is this a humiliation? This is the fact! Why? In your eyes, Dad is so unbearable!"
The last sentence made Banxia's face pale and her body trembled, "I... I didn't... think so!"
"No! Gu Banxia! This is what you think in your heart. You think dad is not open-minded and wants to separate you and your teacher Zhen. But Gu Banxia, have you ever thought about how dad treated you all these years? You found a man who is only a few years younger than dad and is divorced to be dad's son-in-law? Gu Banxia, you are so greedy!!" Gu Huazi shouted the last sentence, and the white hair on his temples trembled because of the loud noise.
The four words "hungry and indiscriminate" were really a bit heavy. Gu Huazi regretted it as soon as he finished speaking. Banxia had the same temper as Gu Huazi, both stubborn. She stared at him, holding back tears, and immediately hit back, "Yes! I like divorced old men like Teacher Zhen!"
This sentence seemed to hit Gu Huazi. He sat down with a "bang". He lost all his strength and couldn't even sit still. He closed his eyes and his body shook even more violently. "Okay! If you are willing to be with this divorced old man, starting today, we will sever our father-daughter relationship!"
"Gu Huazi!" Aunt Juxiang rushed in from outside, grabbed Gu Huazi by the collar and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Who told you to break up with the young lady???" Dongdong and Jiang Jiang seemed to be frightened by the scene and didn't dare to move. An An waved her hand and sent the two children away.
At this moment, Gu Huazi seemed to have aged many years. When he looked up at Juxiang, Juxiang saw a gleam of tears in Huazi's eyes. Somehow, Jin'er under her command suddenly relaxed. She was Gu Huazi's bedmate and knew better than anyone how strong this man was. She was stunned, turned her head and looked at Banxia, whispering, "Banxia, how did you make your dad angry? Come and apologize, quickly!"
"You girl, have you forgotten how your dad hurts!"
Banxia regretted it after she said that angrily. Seeing her father like this, she immediately knelt down and cried, "Dad! I was wrong, please don't leave me!" Teacher Zhen knelt down without any hesitation.
He didn't say anything, but this action was more effective than any words. People who are familiar with Teacher Zhen know how aloof he is. He has lived in the compound for so many years, not to mention interacting with neighbors, he has barely spoken a few words, not to mention kneeling down to Gu Huazi in front of everyone.
"Get up! I don't deserve it!" This sentence was said to Teacher Zhen. Gu Huazi felt so tired! It was more tiring than working for 48 hours in a row in the factory. He looked down at Banxia kneeling on the ground, without the previous excitement, and said in a calm tone, "Dad, I don't want you, it's you who don't want me and your mother!" Saying this sentence has used up all the strength in Gu Huazi's body.
Banxia burst into tears when she heard this, "Dad! I... I didn't abandon you and Mom!"
"You did! If I asked you to choose between Teacher Zhen and us, who would you choose?"
Banxia suddenly lost her voice.
"Why? Why can't we be together! Why do you let me choose?" Tears welled up in her eyes, as if she was questioning, as if she was puzzled.
"Why? You will understand when you become a parent." After saying that, Gu Huazi was about to stand up and apologize to Gu Weiqiang, "Qiangzi, I can't eat this meal today. Let's get together another day!"
Gu Weiqiang also understood that his brother would never be interested in Teacher Zhen as a son-in-law. He moved his lips and said, "Don't go. Let's have a drink together!" He understood the look An An gave him. After saying that, he took out a bottle of wine from the cabinet without saying anything, took Gu Huazi out of the door, and found a deserted place.
Inside the house, the most persistent Gu Huazi left, and only An An and his family, as well as Aunt Juxiang and Banxia were left in the house.
Aunt Juxiang sat down, looking down at Banxia and Teacher Zhen who were kneeling on the ground. She said excitedly, "Why would your father disagree?"
Banxia bit her lip, unable to speak.
Teacher Zhen stood up, saying calmly, "There are three reasons. First, I am a teacher and Banxia is a student. Second, I am older. Third, I am divorced!" With each reason he mentioned, Juxiang's face became uglier, until it was as black as the bottom of a pot.
Saying the same words as Gu Huazi, "Gu Banxia, are you really so greedy!"
"Do you have to find a partner who is not recognized in every aspect??"
This was said by Gu Huazi, and again by Aunt Juxiang. An An looked at Banxia, whose body was shaking. She wanted to step forward to pull her out, but was held back by Teacher Sun and Lu Yan at the same time. Lu Yan shook his head, "Let's go out!" After saying
that, he looked at Teacher Zhen who was kneeling on the ground meaningfully.
Teacher Zhen really understood that this was his chance. Juxiang's attitude was not as fierce as Gu Huazi's, and the mother-in-law was always more likely to soften than the father-in-law. This was his breakthrough point, just right! There were only three of them in the room. As long as he could deal with his mother- in-law first, it would only be a
matter of time for him to deal with his father-in-law. Just like Lu Yan did at the beginning, he also dealt with Teacher Sun first. Teacher Sun thought Lu Yan was quite good. Every time he came to Gu's house, Gu Weiqiang would be arrogant and glare at him, but he was suppressed by Teacher Sun.
An An was a little worried, but Teacher Sun immediately understood what Lu Yan meant. She just smiled and didn't say anything. It seemed that Lu Yan, who was also a son-in-law, knew more about their thoughts than them.
With a "bang", the door was closed, isolating the world inside.
An An looked back with some worry, "Do you think Aunt Juxiang will compromise first?"
Teacher Sun looked at Lu Yan meaningfully, "Maybe!" The more the mother-in-law sees her son-in-law, the more she likes him. At first, Master Gu didn't like Lu Yan at all, and she was the same, but she changed her mind later.
An An squatted down, picked up a small piece of wood and drew circles, but her thoughts flew away, and she was a little worried. She was Banxia's friend, but she couldn't help Banxia in this matter, so she could only let her face it herself.
Gu Weiqiang took Gu Huazi to the old house in front. The old house had been in disrepair for many years and the yard was also dilapidated. He put the wine bottle directly on the half-collapsed yard wall and shouted, "Come and have a drink!" After that, he took out the cork of the wine bottle and handed it directly to Gu Huazi. Gu Huazi did not refuse. He took the bottle and drank it all in one gulp.
He looked like he was drinking cold water, without even frowning.
Gu Weiqiang knew that Gu Huazi was upset, so he said in a deep voice, "What do you think about Banxia?"
Gu Huazi was silent, just holding the bottle and drinking again. Gu Weiqiang sighed and said only one sentence, "Do you want Banxia to hate you for the rest of her life?" Gu Huazi was startled, and he felt bitter, "Qiangzi, tell me the truth, if An'an finds a partner like this, will you agree?"
Gu Weiqiang immediately retorted, "An'an won't make it difficult for me!" He was sure that if he objected, An'an would definitely think twice. In Gu Weiqiang's eyes, his daughter was a very promising girl, she would not be so hot-blooded when doing things, and she would not be so reckless.
Forcing parents to this point.
Gu Huazi smiled bitterly, "Yes! An An is such a smart child, she would not bear to make things difficult for you!" But how could their Ban Xia bear to make things difficult for him!
Gu Wei Qiang changed the subject, "However, I will not interfere with An An's choice." He had to admit that once An An made up her mind, it would be useless for him to interfere. "The children are grown up, let them go! You can't take care of them all their lives. After all, they will learn their lesson after a fight and bloodshed. What's more, I think Teacher Zhen is good to Ban Xia, otherwise he would have quit his job and knelt down for you in front of everyone."
He patted Gu Huazi on the shoulder, "You have to believe in Ban Xia. Let's take a step back. What if! What if Teacher Zhen is really not a good person? What are you afraid of? This is our territory. It's not like you can't afford to support Ban Xia!" There was one thing he didn't say, and that was that you can get divorced after getting married!
What's more, now the two of them are just dating, what's there to be afraid of?
Gu Huazi exhaled a breath of foul air, and a clear light flashed in his eyes, "I understand."
"Do you know how to do this?"
Gu Huazi nodded.
Gu Wei Qiang took the bottle of wine and poured it directly into his mouth without any disgust. However, he only poured out a few drops of wine. He stretched his neck but couldn't drink it. He immediately cursed, "That's so mean. You drank all the wine my son-in-law brought me!"
"This is good wine! I have kept it for a long time and couldn't bear to drink it!"
Gu Huazi teased, "Let my son-in-law compensate you for a bottle in the future!"
When Gu Wei Qiang saw that Gu Huazi could make a joke, he knew that his self-reliant brother had figured it out. He laughed, "My bottle of wine is not wasted!"
The group went back and met again, and it was not as intense as before.
Banxia took the initiative, "Dad, I was wrong!"
Gu Huazi waved his hands, "My attitude is also problematic, but you must go to college. If you fail, don't blame Dad for stopping you again!"
Banxia's eyes flashed with surprise, "Dad! You agreed!"
Gu Huazi glanced at her, with a hint of bitterness in his eyes, "I agree. Dad has satisfied everything my daughter wants!" Then he changed the subject, "Let's just get along first!" There was also a hint of consideration in this.
When Teacher Zhen heard this, he knew that Gu Huazi compromised for Banxia, not because of him. He bowed solemnly to Gu Huazi and promised, "Uncle Gu, don't worry, I will treat Banxia well. If there is anything wrong, I will leave by myself, and you don't have to do anything!"
This was equivalent to Teacher Zhen's guarantee to Gu Huazi.
Gu Huazi nodded lightly, not denying it. He turned around and said, "We won't eat this meal. Juxiang and I will go first." After saying that, Gu Huazi glanced at Banxia, who immediately followed him. Now he was no longer standing there stupidly.
Teacher Zhen hurriedly stood up to see him off. Looking at that look, he really looked like Lu Yan trying to please him; his father-in-law and mother-in-law were of the same character.
An An heaved a sigh of relief, "Dad! You are so awesome!", but he just went out for a while and managed to chew off such a tough bone as Uncle Hua Zi.
Gu Wei Qiang waved his hand meaningfully, "As a father, I always don't want my daughter to suffer." This sentence has a double meaning. An An understood the meaning as soon as she heard it. She immediately hugged Gu Wei Qiang's arm and rubbed it affectionately, "Dad is the best dad in the world!"
Her dad is, and Uncle Hua Zi is also.
Gu Wei Qiang raised his hand and tapped An An's head, "I'm glad you know!" Then, he looked at Lu Yan, "Stay and have a meal together!"
Lu Yan naturally agreed happily.
