Chapter 47: Going to Find Gu Chouni

Speaking of Gu Zhenhua, Hu Meili was still a little dubious, she asked Lin Xiangnan, “Did anyone from the Gu family come today?”

“No.” Lin Xiangnan had been at home all afternoon and hadn’t heard any noise.

“This Gu family is really rude.” Hu Meili said disdainfully, “Even if they have conflicts with Gu Zhenhua, as parents, they should come and express their stance. They really pretend not to know.”

“Gu Zhenhua beat his brother like that. It’s good that the Gu family didn’t come to interfere, why would they express anything?”

Hu Meili didn’t approve of Gu Zhenhua’s behavior of hitting his family, she said in a low voice, “If it wasn’t for my brother being the matchmaker, and you liked him, I wouldn’t dare to agree.”

This was also the reason why Gu Zhenhua had been single for so many years. Everyone in his hometown knew that he had a bad reputation, good girls wouldn’t marry him, after all, there weren’t many girls like Lin Xiangnan who were both intelligent and strong.

When he was in the army, some leaders had introduced partners to him. But Gu Zhenhua thought that the other party didn’t know about his family situation, he couldn’t just randomly pit them, so he rejected them all.

He met a girl like Lin Xiangnan, who was attracted to him and didn’t care about his family or reputation, Gu Zhenhua cherished her very much. As soon as he got to the army, he wrote an application to the organization, and he also sent a letter and a brand new army coat to Lin Xiangnan.

Gu Zhenhua was still worried about his family, so he also wrote a letter home to urge his brother to study hard and not fall behind in his thinking.

When Gu Zhenguo saw this letter, the wounds that had healed started to ache again.

Especially when he heard Gu Chouni scolding Hu Meili at home, his wounds hurt even more.

“Mom, Third Brother said that it’s best for the two families not to interact. Why do you have to keep thinking about the Hu family coming to your door to give you gifts?”

Gu Chouni scolded, “Isn’t that what should happen? They want my son to marry in! They didn’t even make any gesture, they’re really rude. That Lin Xiangnan is also a proud one, she’s getting engaged to Gu Zhenhua, but she doesn’t even come to see me, her mother-in-law.”

She scolded, but Gu Chouni didn’t dare to go to the Hu family, she was afraid that Gu Zhenhua would beat her favorite son again when he came back.

“Hu Meili isn’t without a son, why should my son marry in.” Gu Chouni suspected, “That Lin Xiangnan must have something wrong with her. Otherwise, why would she be with Gu Zhenhua.”

Gu Fugen agreed, “There must be something wrong. How could someone who gets involved with Gu Zhenhua be a good person?”

“I’ve seen this girl from the Lin family, she’s very pretty, she’s probably not a virgin anymore, that’s why she’s looking for Gu Zhenhua to take over?” Gu Chouni guessed maliciously, “Or maybe Gu Zhenhua took advantage of her. He forced her to get married? Otherwise, how could she possibly like him.”

“Yeah, how could such a beautiful girl possibly like Gu Zhenhua.” Gu Zhenguo sincerely agreed.

In their eyes, Gu Zhenhua had been a scoundrel for ten years, he had all sorts of bad habits, the army couldn’t teach him anything, he was capable of doing anything bad.

So the more they talked, the more they felt that Gu Zhenhua was a bully who forced people to marry him. Lin Xiangnan wasn’t innocent either, but overall, she should be a poor girl who was forced.

In this family, the one who most didn’t want her son to marry in was Gu Chouni.

“Lin Xiangnan is in a hurry to get married, why don’t you just introduce someone to her? There are plenty of men better than Gu Zhenhua on the street. Gu Zhenhua is back in the army, by the time he comes back, Lin Xiangnan will have already married someone else, he won’t be able to do anything even if he has something on her.”

Gu Chouni became more and more excited, she was already looking for young men she knew in her mind.

Gu Zhenhua told them not to go to the Hu family to cause trouble, but they could do it without showing up.

It was just introducing a partner, they could ask a matchmaker to connect them, or they could ask the man’s mother to go and talk personally, it didn’t matter to them.

They could ruin Gu Zhenhua’s marriage without having to show up. Even though Gu Zhenguo was a coward, he couldn’t help but be tempted, he reminded, “Quietly. Don’t let Gu Zhenhua find out.”

Who wouldn’t want revenge after being beaten up for so many years?

“Don’t worry. By the time Gu Zhenhua comes back, his marriage will have already fallen apart, he won’t be able to trace it back to us.”

Gu Chouni was confident, but the women she was close to were not good people, they were not good at doing things. The men they introduced, let alone Lin Xiangnan, even Hu Meili frowned when she heard them.

“My Xiaonan is already engaged. Don’t introduce anyone to her.” Hu Meili directly refused.

“Our eldest son is missing a little finger, but it doesn’t affect his life, and he’s honest, he’s much better than Gu Zhenhua. Xiaonan may have been bullied by Gu Zhenhua, but we don’t mind.”

Lin Xiangnan was a city resident after all, she had a food ration. If he married a country girl, she wouldn’t have a food ration, he would have to buy expensive grain, which would increase the cost of living.

Although Lin Xiangnan and Gu Zhenhua were engaged, they hadn’t gotten their marriage certificate yet. When Hu Meili heard this, she got angry and slapped the other woman.

“I’ll beat you to death, you shameless old dog, you just know how to bark.”

One slap wasn’t enough, Hu Meili slapped her again, “You shameless old bitch, how dare you slander my daughter.”

“Ah! I’ll fight you!” This woman wasn’t a pushover either, she immediately started to fight with Hu Meili, grabbing her hair, “Your daughter did something bad, and you won’t let me say it? I will! I will! A trashy girl like your daughter, my son wouldn’t want her. Trash! Trash!”

Hu Meili had been through many battles, she quickly seized the opportunity and subdued her opponent with one move, she rode on top of her, “Your son is the trash! I wouldn’t even want your son to carry my shoes, he deserves to be a bachelor for life.”

Hu Meili wasn’t living in the big courtyard anymore, the people living around her were all her relatives. Seeing Hu Meili fighting with someone, Hu Daxi and his wife quickly came to help, they didn’t even think about stopping them, they directly subdued the woman.

Lin Xiangnan and Lin Xiangxi also quickly came down from upstairs to see what was going on.

The other woman saw that Hu Meili had so many people helping her, she immediately wanted to slip away.

Hu Meili grabbed her arm, “You’re not going anywhere. You spread rumors about my Xiaonan, I’m going to take you to the police station.”

“What did I say wrong? Gu Zhenhua’s parents said it, how could it be false? Otherwise, why would your daughter get engaged to that scoundrel Gu Zhenhua.” This woman sold out Gu Chouni without hesitation.

Hu Daxi stomped his foot in anger and scolded, “This couple Gu Chouni is getting more and more unreliable. After all, he’s their own son. Why can’t they see him doing well?”

He was the matchmaker, and with this happening, Hu Daxi felt embarrassed.

“Let’s go! Bring your weapons, and take this woman with us, let’s go find Gu Chouni.”

As soon as Hu Daxi said this, everyone in the family started to look for suitable sticks.

Lin Xiangnan also excitedly went to find a suitable stick.
