Chen Xingling stroked his black hair and laughed softly: "Haven't you already had an idea in your mind?"
"Uh..." Gu Qi still couldn't help but get angry: "I didn't expect that brat to be so confused!"
Chen Xingling laughed dumbly and whispered, "It's not that I'm confused, it's that I'm helpless. If your mother hadn't been so excessive and went to Xiao Xing's house to make trouble, would her family be so anxious to marry her off? Your brother was also forced by the situation to do this, you can't blame him."
Her own son was in love with another girl, but instead of disciplining her son, she ran to the girl's house and made a scene. How could Xiao Xing's family accept this!
"The countryside is different from the city, and people are more conservative in their thinking." Chen Xingling lowered his voice, "After your mother's fuss, Xiao Xing's reputation has been mostly ruined. Whether she marries Gu Yi or not, her family will be anxious to marry her off. In fact, in the final analysis, she is just pursuing the person she loves, what's wrong with that?"
"It's really my mother's fault." Gu Qi said with a sullen face, "Next time you call me by telegram or phone, I will definitely give her a good talk."
Chen Xingling rolled his eyes secretly: "Forget it, it's hard to change a person's nature. Don't you think her past is not enough? Has she changed?"
Her mother-in-law has always been a bully, flatterer, and cruel and vicious person. She has known her for a long time and knows her very well. Her mother-in-law is born like this, and unless someone can suppress her, she will never change.
Although Gu Qi had a correct outlook on life and was not influenced by the old woman at all, he was her son after all, and he was filial to the old lady in his heart, but at most he just said it with his mouth.
If he could stay in his hometown for a long time, he could definitely be stopped and suppressed, but the fact is that the emperor is far away and the sky is high. Talking about it is undoubtedly just tickling and won't make much difference.
Gu Qi was speechless for a moment.
Chen Xingling knew that he was extremely helpless to have such a mother, so he did not dwell on this topic.
"Before, we were not sure whether Gu Yi would really be with Xiao Xing, so we only gave him advice verbally. Now that they are like this, whether your mother is willing or not, this happy event has to happen."
In the original book, Gu Yi unfortunately missed Xiao Xing, and lived his whole life in a daze, full of regret and decadence.
She felt sorry for the couple who couldn't be together forever, so she encouraged Gu Yi to come to Yucheng to develop, hoping that he could stay away from Yu Ying's clutches and take the opportunity to change his own destiny.
Unexpectedly, the development of things was far beyond her imagination!
Gu Yi decided to go all out and eloped with the girl to Yucheng.
Since he came to seek refuge with his brother and sister-in-law, the couple naturally could not sit idly by.
Gu Qi knew his mother well, and said, "If mom knew, she would definitely try every possible means to stop them. Ayi and the others came here secretly this time, and I don't know if my mom knew about it."
"Man does what he does, God sees." Chen Xingling angrily scolded: "She almost destroyed our little family. How can you bear to let your brother's marriage fall into the clutches of your mother again? We were lucky to get through this, but your brother and Xiao Xing can't be as lucky as us."
We must not let mother-in-law know at this moment, otherwise she will definitely stop us!
Gu Qi could hear the dissatisfaction in her words, so he had to explain: "Xing'er, don't get me wrong, I remember everything I said before. My mother is not happy, so I, as the eldest brother, will naturally stand up for my younger brother and make this marriage a success."
"Isn't that the end?" Chen Xingling said with a smile, "You already had an idea and didn't even bother to ask me."
Gu Qi frowned and whispered, "I just don't know how to deal with this. Pingshuo Mountain is too far away, and it may not be easy to communicate. In addition, what should be done with Ayi and Xiaoxing? Let them go back first--"
"No!" Chen Xingling shook his head firmly. "She escaped by chance, but she can never go back. Not to mention that your mother will object to it, Xiao Xing's family must be in a difficult situation. If their daughter runs away with someone else, it will bring bad reputation to the country. Unless your brother really marries her, Xiao Xing will be scolded by the neighbors. If it's serious...she might even lose her life."
Being laughed at for being in a relationship is not a serious matter that is immoral. At most, it is just a few jokes and ridicules. Compared with the seriousness of eloping, it is simply not worth mentioning!
The countryside is conservative and most people are closed-minded and old-fashioned. Even if Xiao Xing is pretty and her family is well-off, once the news of her eloping gets out, it will be difficult for her to get married.
Good families looked down on her, unless she married some ugly melons and jujubes. No matter which result, it was a great tragedy for Xiao Xing, too miserable to bear to watch.
After being reminded by her, Gu Qi could only say, "In that case, I will have to go there myself."
"Yes." Chen Xingling suggested: "Prepare some gifts, plus a betrothal gift of more than 100 yuan, and take them with you to Pingshuo Mountain. Now that things have come to this, Xiaoxing's family can only accept it no matter how angry they are. After all, we are the man, and we are the man who made the mistake first, so you should remember to lower your attitude. You can say that the marriage has been decided a long time ago, but because we are too far away, we can't send the betrothal gifts in time. The journey is long and difficult, so the wedding ceremony can only be skipped, and the couple can be arranged to get married in the city. If you say this, Xiaoxing's family can save some face."
"Try not to let them bear the word 'elopement'." Gu Qi nodded in agreement: "After all, it is not a glorious thing, so as to avoid being criticized in the future."
The couple discussed until midnight before going to bed, while the two protagonists being discussed were fast asleep and had no idea.
…
The next morning, Chen Xingling cooked a large pot of millet porridge, quietly took out five packs of barbecued pork buns from the super space, and put them in several steamers to slowly steam them.
Gu Qi had breakfast early, and then hurriedly asked Director Guo for leave.
Chen Xingling had classes in the morning, but considering that she had to prepare the betrothal money and Gu Qi's wife, and that she had a brother-in-law who sprained his foot and a new girl at home, she decided to take a temporary leave to go home.
She ran to the factory gate and waited. When she saw Jia Shuanghua carefully riding her bicycle towards her, she hurried forward to greet her.
"Is there something wrong at home?" Jia Shuanghua asked worriedly, "What is it? Is it serious? Do you need my help?"
Chen Xingling shook his head: "No, my wife's relatives are visiting from her hometown, and I can't leave for the time being. Please tell Teacher Lin that I want to take a day off - no, two days."
The day after tomorrow is Saturday, so I might as well take two days off and have a few days of rest. Anyway, I have already mastered all the textbook knowledge points and test points, so it doesn't matter much whether I go to class or not.
"Okay!" Jia Shuanghua nodded her chubby head and pouted, "In this case, I can only see you next Monday."
Chen Xingling smiled and warmly invited her to visit Linjiang First Floor when she was free.
"My house is on the third floor, the one facing east."
Jia Shuanghua took note of it carefully, waved goodbye reluctantly, and rode her bicycle shakily towards the south of the city.
Chen Xingling turned around and hurried home, only to find that his son had woken up and was playing with the iron building blocks that Gu Qi had made for him in the corner of the living room.
There were a lot of odd and odd shapes of building blocks, but the edges were carefully blunted so there was no need to worry about scratching your hands. She thought there was nothing fun about a pile of iron blocks, but Gu Qi and the little guy loved to tinker with them, so she was too lazy to bother with them.
She helped the little guy wash his face and hands and change his clothes.
Little Tiger asked curiously: "Mom, who was the aunt last night? Is she still in our house?"
"㱗." Chen Xingling replied: "Her name is Xiao Xing, you can call her 'Auntie Xiao Xing'."
Little Tiger kicked his little feet, munched on his bun and muttered, "Okay."
After the mother and son had eaten, she sent the little one to kindergarten and then hurried back.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived at the door of my house, I heard bursts of sad sobbing of a girl coming from inside!
