Chen Xingling blinked and asked, "Is there really no passionate girl who would rush to you?"
Gu Qi laughed dumbly: "No matter how open-minded women abroad are, they will not be so open-minded. Of course, a large part of the reason is that the people around them are all educated, and there are not many who are unruly."
"Oh oh." Chen Xingling muttered: "Luckily you have kept your virginity for me, otherwise I would have beaten you."
Gu Qi was amused by her and said, "I am going there to study, not to have fun. The organization has spent money and effort to send us to study, so how can we live up to the expectations of the leaders?"
"A serious person." Chen Xingling praised while suppressing his laughter.
Gu Qi teased her and whispered, "Don't say I don't have that intention. Even if I do, I don't have the courage."
"Really?" Chen Xingling glared at him.
Gu Qi nodded seriously: "Dang, I'm afraid you'll hit me."
Chen Xingling laughed out loud.
Gu Qi was a little tired, so he coaxed her, "Stop chatting and go to bed quickly. You have to go to congratulate your fourth brother early tomorrow morning, so you have to rush back specially. You can't sleep too late and miss it."
"Don't be afraid." Chen Xingling reminded: "I have rented a car with six seats. It will take at most 20 minutes to get to my mother's house."
Gu Qi closed his eyes and whispered, "Actually, that's not necessary. I can make it back in time. I can just borrow a car from the factory logistics department and drive over there."
"Not enough seats." Chen Xingling explained: "Ayi and his wife, and us, and your mother and Ma Dali. Oh, Ah Xuan may also want to go, and your mother said she wants to convince her to go with us."
Gu Qi didn't care: "If she wants to go, let her go. If she doesn't want to go, don't force her. Ah Xuan doesn't like crowds."
After a pause, he added, "If it's Ah Miao, she will definitely not miss any fun. She will go without being invited."
"By the way, Ah Miao wrote to me." Chen Xingling quickly told her husband about Gu Miao's letter and Chen Erliuzi's remittance: "Your mother was very happy and treated him as her son-in-law without saying anything."
Gu Qi was very angry when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "He has no etiquette at all, what kind of son-in-law is he! Fortunately, most people's ideas have changed now, and it is far away from the capital. Otherwise, if such an ugly thing gets out, my reputation will be completely ruined. In ancient times, marrying someone as a wife and then running away as a concubine - this is a big embarrassment to the family!"
He wasn't joking, nor did he exaggerate. Fortunately, his family is now in Yucheng. If they were in their hometown, the neighbors would definitely gossip about them.
Even though people are more open-minded nowadays and their thoughts are more liberal, it is still unacceptable for a girl to run away with a man without her family's consent - that is undoubtedly elopement!
How glorious can elopement be!
Only a black person like my old mother who doesn't know right from wrong would think that she can get away with it by giving money!
"Your mother is very open-minded this time." Chen Xingling explained: "She said that her daughters will get married sooner or later after they grow up. No matter if it's Ah Xuan or Ah Miao, they will get married sooner or later. If Chen Erliuzi can make a fortune in Southeast Asia, your sister will be a rich lady in her youth."
"Don't pay attention to my mother." Gu Qi said solemnly: "She only cares about money and has no moral bottom line."
He had long been disappointed with his old mother. Now he could only be careful that she didn't make big mistakes and take care of her three meals a day. He couldn't force her to do anything else.
For a person like her, you shouldn't have any expectations or hopes for her.
Chen Xingling thought about it and asked the question that had been lingering in his mind for a long time.
"Aqi, no matter whether Chen Erliuzi can make a fortune or not, is there any chance for this situation to turn around? The rice has been cooked, can you still object?"
Putting aside the fact that my mother-in-law is greedy for money, she was right about one thing.
When my daughter grows up, she will eventually get married.
As for who she should marry, the mother-in-law has no say on this because her eldest daughter is a loner and won't listen to her; her younger daughter is unruly and willful, doing whatever she wants, and she herself won't listen to her mother-in-law either.
Although Gu Qi is the eldest brother, as the eldest brother, he can only provide reference opinions when it comes to his sister's marriage. He is not qualified to do anything to stop his sister.
Gu Qi didn't seem to think that far, and said in a low voice: "I... I haven't thought about this problem before. After all, Ah Miao is only seventeen or eighteen years old. I just thought about waiting for her to come back, but ignored this problem."
Chen Xingling rolled his eyes and guessed, "If she comes back in a few years, with one or two children and a big belly, can you still object? Even if she can't stand the hard work and comes back by boat next year, standing next to Chen Erliuzi - what can you do?"
Gu Qi thought about it calmly and replied, "The country advocates freedom of marriage, and everyone has the right to freely choose their marriage. Even if I am the eldest brother, if she really decides to marry Chen Erliuzi, I will not stop her. In the end, she has to walk the path of marriage herself. She chooses the path herself, and she will not have the opportunity to regret it in the future."
He is a new youth who has received a new era cultural education and does not like the traditional feudal marriage of the older generation that is "arranged by the mother's orders and the matchmaker's words".
He himself married according to his own free love, so how could he prevent others from freely choosing their partners?
His younger brother also got married after falling in love freely, and he supported him from the beginning.
As for his sisters, he held the same idea - choose the person he likes to marry, and even if he regrets it later, he can't blame anyone else.
"I am her eldest brother. I will not and should not stop her from making her own choice. Even if the person she chooses is unreliable, it is her own choice. She is not six or seven years old, she is already seventeen years old, not a confused little girl of twelve or thirteen years old. Even if she is immature and makes a hasty decision, I can't do anything about it. She doesn't even give us any chance to give her advice."
"So?" Chen Xingling raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you support it?"
Gu Qi shook his head: "I don't approve of her marrying Chen Erliuzi, but I don't support her. But she has already made her choice, and it's useless for us to oppose it."
"What if... Chen Erliuzi can't make a lot of money for the time being?" Chen Xingling lowered his voice and asked, "A Miao regretted and ran back to her parents' home crying, what would you do then?"
Gu Qi frowned when he heard this, and he seemed to be in a difficult situation.
"She chose the person herself. If she regrets it, she has to bear the consequences herself... How can I help her?"
Chen Xingling thought for a moment and guessed, "She has never liked studying. After dropping out of school and going to Southeast Asia, she probably couldn't continue her studies. Given your mother's personality, she would probably instigate her to find a new rich man to marry."
Gu Qi intuitively felt that he had a headache, and it was a throbbing pain.
"Okay, stop talking. If that's the case, I won't agree to it."
"What would you do?" Chen Xingling asked curiously.
In the original book, Gu Qi was always alone in Yucheng.
Gu Miao had a relationship with Chen Erliuzi in her hometown in Shangjing City. Later, she disliked him for being too poor, and then, at the instigation of Li Ying, she married another man. Eventually, her life became worse and worse, with quarrels every day and no peace.
After Chen Erliuzi became rich, Gu Miao and Li Ying regretted their decision so much that they almost regretted it to death.
Not only that, Gu Miao later kept complaining about Li Ying, and even ignored her mother after she fell ill due to old age. She almost hated Li Ying.
Although in reality the whole family has come to Yucheng, Chen Erliuzi and Gu Miao are still together. Whether they can eventually become a couple and live together in the end is still unknown.
Gu Qi thought seriously for a moment and answered, "If the man has not done anything wrong and is just a little poor, then I will stop her and let her calm down. He is a young man who has the courage to venture into a foreign country. He is probably not a cowardly and incompetent person. Besides, success is not that easy. Many men have to be over 40 years old before they can start to make a name for themselves. There is no need to be too anxious. As long as the man is loyal to her, you can give him more time."
"Yeah." Chen Xingling couldn't help but mutter, "Remember this! If she runs back home because she thinks Chen Erliuzi is too poor, your mother can't understand why you have to stop her and persuade your sister."
Gu Qi was already sleepy, and whispered in a daze: "Okay, I'll remember it. Xing'er, go to sleep quickly, I have to go downstairs to see Brother Liu later. Go...to sleep."
"Oh." Chen Xingling snuggled up to him, closed his eyes and began to fall asleep.
