What shocked and left Su Liuer speechless was that this girl actually eloped with someone with money.
However, when she arrived in Shanghe County, she found that the man was not a good person, so she took her money and ran away. She returned to Longcheng to go home.
The Gu family is a wealthy family, and Gu's father has many wives and concubines. The sister that Gu Lanyue is talking about is not her mother's daughter, but a concubine's daughter of the Gu family.
Gu Lanyue has only one brother who has the same father and mother as her. However, this brother is confused and has no close relationship with Gu Lanyue. Instead, he is more like a real brother to those concubines' daughters.
Gulanyue's mother passed away two years ago, so she has become increasingly unhappy at home in the past two years, feeling lonely and sad.
Later, she met a scholar who was so gentle and considerate that she was fascinated by him. Then, she impulsively agreed to elope with this man.
Su Liuer listened to Gu Lanyue chattering about her sad past, nodding occasionally to show that she was listening carefully, but she didn't express any opinions at all.
Sometimes we talk about sad things that happened just because we want to find someone to talk to, and we don’t necessarily want to get any comfort or enlightenment.
So Su Liuer just listened quietly. Anyway, the girl had no intention of stopping to ask for her advice.
Until the boat docked, the sound of gongs and drums was heard outside, which was a reminder that the boat had docked and it was time to get off.
Su Liuer took Gu Lanyue out of the room together.
After coming out, he deliberately said to an old lady who came out from another room, "Auntie, do you have any small change on you? I want to exchange some with you."
The lady was quite welcoming and immediately took off her bag to give Su Liuer some change.
Su Liuer was just trying her luck to see if this lady had been robbed.
If not, she'll have to find someone else.
But she was lucky. This lady had been robbed. When she opened her bag, she found that all her money had turned into stone.
She was dumbfounded at first, then she looked at the stones in the bundle and was so shocked that she was speechless for a long time.
Su Liuer was surprised and asked, "Auntie, why do you carry so many stones in your bag?"
The old lady slapped her thigh!
"There's a thief! There's a thief! All my money is gone and has turned into stone!" The old lady came to her senses and immediately shouted loudly.
Upon hearing this, Su Liuer immediately opened her bag in a panic, and there were a few stones inside, which she had put there on purpose.
She then shouted, "My money has turned to stone too! Auntie! There really is a thief!"
Gu Lanyue was holding her bag without any stones, looking confused, but fortunately she didn't panic. She just stood calmly by the side without disturbing Su Liuer.
"Auntie, what should we do? Is it only our money that was stolen? Could the thief have already gotten off the boat and run away?" Su Liuer asked in panic.
Gu Lanyue looked at Su Liuer's pitiful appearance and wanted to laugh, but she had to hold it back.
The old lady reached out and held Su Liuer's hand, and said calmly: "Report to the police, let's go and report to the police!"
Su Liuer nodded immediately and said, "Okay! I can run fast and report it to the police! What about you, Auntie?"
The old lady thought quickly and said immediately, "I have to stop the people on the boat from getting off!" The passengers with cabin tickets were the first group to get off the boat, so it was still in time to stop them.
Su Liuer said to the old lady, "Then you must stop the thief! We two sisters will report it to the police!"
"Alright, go quickly! I'll wait until the officials arrive!"
