"Uncle, this is Officer Fang. I've already told them about this. They're here to visit the hospital."
Uncle Gu was a little scared when he saw the police uniform, but thinking that he was there to support his niece, he hurried forward to greet him.
"Officer Fang, my niece is having a hard time. You have to help her. My third brother's wife and my mother have no good intentions at all."
Officer Xiao Fang asked seriously, "Are you Gu Chun's uncle? Then I need to know something about the situation. I heard that her father, Gu Lin, has been adopted."
"Yes, yes. My second brother came to the city when he was a teenager. He was raised by my second uncle."
Officer Fang looked at Gu Chun and said, "Show me your father's household registration. Is it already in the hands of his adoptive father?"
Gu Chun went into the room and took out the old household registration book, which had records of her parents when they were still alive. Later, she replaced it with a new one and cancelled her parents' registration, but she still kept the old one.
Officer Fang took it and opened it. The column for Gu Lin's father was Gu Er, so he nodded, and the matter became easy.
Then he went out by himself and visited several neighbors in the compound.
Their compound still remembered the old couple from the Gu family who had come to cause trouble a few months ago, and they had all watched Gu Chun grow up.
"Comrade police officer, her grandparents in the countryside are not good people. They came here just to send the two little ones away and even said they wouldn't let Qiu'er go to school."
"Yes, yes, yes. If you didn't tell me those two were Gu Lin's biological parents, you wouldn't know they were so mean to these kids."
"Comrade police officer, Gu Chun grew up under our care. Now that her parents are gone, she has raised her siblings so well. She is a good child."
“…”
Officer Fang's ears were buzzing with the voices of old men and women.
What Gu Chun is a good boy, what the old woman is a bad one, what please help.
When I heard the final words and returned to the police station, I felt that I would be a bad person if I didn't support Gu Chun.
Gu Chun looked at Officer Fang walking back with unsteady steps and laughed in his heart. The old men and women were really enthusiastic and it seemed that he could no longer handle it.
"Thank you, everyone. Thank you for speaking up for me."
Although these neighbors don't interact much in normal times and often bicker with each other, they are very enthusiastic when she needs help.
These are the simple and kind people of this era.
"Oh, no need to thank me. Don't worry, Chun'er. If your grandparents come to bully you, we will definitely help you."
"That's right, don't be afraid. There are so many people in our compound, how could a child like you be bullied?"
“…”
Seeing so many neighbors helping, Uncle Gu felt relieved. In broad daylight, they couldn't take his niece away.
My aunt's guess was correct, and the matter soon became public.
Just the next day after calling the police, Gu Chun just returned to the yard when a group of people came in and said they were there to get married.
As the person in charge, Aunt Guo has never heard of anyone getting married in the courtyard.
"Who are you marrying? We haven't heard of this in our hospital. Did you come to the wrong place?"
The leader was an old woman in her sixties. The hardships of her life had caused wrinkles on her face that could kill a mosquito, and she looked quite mean.
She brought a matchmaker with her, and some neighbors recognized her as Zhang the matchmaker from South City.
It is said that when she acts as a matchmaker, she only considers how much the other party offers as an introduction fee and does not care about the other party's character at all.
She even brought together several unhappy couples, which led to the fact that most good families would not approach her for marriage.
Matchmaker Zhang had a smile on her face. If this deal was successful today, she would get a commission of five dollars.
"Oh, you are the one in charge, right? We are here today to marry Comrade Gu Chun from your hospital."
Aunt Guo was puzzled: "Gu Chun from our courtyard, I haven't heard that she is going to get married. She has four younger siblings to support, how can she get married now?"
The old woman's expression changed. "Raising four children? Of course not. Since you're married to my son, you're a member of our family. Don't even think about supporting your parents."
"Who wants to marry your son?" Gu Chun walked to Aunt Guo and looked at her with cold eyes.
The old woman looked her up and down, with a hint of satisfaction on her face: "Are you Gu Chun?"
"Yes, I'm Gu Chun. Who are you from?"
"I'm from the Tang family in Sanfang Hutong, and I'll be your in-laws in the future."
The corners of Gu Chun's lips curled up slightly, but there was no smile in his eyes.
"In-laws? What in-laws? I didn't agree to marry into the Tang family."
A neighbor recognized Old Lady Tang: "Tang? Didn't your son get married?"
The old woman was very proud: "That is my eldest son, and this time it is my second son who is marrying this girl."
"Oh my God, isn't your second son a fool?"
Mrs. Tang's face turned grim: "What nonsense! My son is not a fool, he is just naive."
"Tsk, what's naive? Shitting your pants is naive?"
Immediately, the onlookers all accused her: "You old woman are so dishonest. Why would a virgin girl marry your son?"
"That's right, Gu Chun didn't agree to marry into his family either."
"Everyone knows her son can't take care of himself and he's always peeping at women taking a bath. He's not a man to marry."
Mrs. Tang said with a determined smile: "Gu Chun, you said you didn't agree, but I have the marriage certificate signed by your grandparents."
She took out a piece of red paper, and it was indeed Mr. Gu’s name on it.
The onlookers also quieted down. This was something that the grandmother had agreed to, so what could outsiders like them say?
Gu Chun narrowed his eyes and said, "So what if there's a marriage certificate? I personally disagree, so I disagree. You can marry whoever signed it."
