Chapter 1156 Mothers Family
This Mrs. Chen must have blown some words in the city that she shouldn't have, which provoked these women to bring their girls.
Mr. Xu understands Chen's desire to show off, but Brother Xing's marriage to his eldest granddaughter has been verbally agreed upon, and they will be formally engaged this time when they return home. The two families are considered to be engaged. But Mr. Chen was still bragging in Fucheng, and there was a large group of people who wanted to grab Brother Xing. Mr. Xu couldn't bear it anymore, so he beat Mrs. Chen.
Ms. Chen was a little embarrassed and said with a smile: "Don't be angry. I'm blocking these people. Nothing will happen to them. You should take them away first."
Mr. Xu didn't say anything, but he looked at the steward in the car. The steward reached out and gave Gu Dexing a hand, and pulled him into the mule cart.
Gu Dagui was so angry that he glared at Mr. Chen and cursed: "You deserve it. You are the one who blows the whistle and causes trouble."
He also apologized to Mr. Xu: "Don't be angry. My family is a well-behaved family and will not do anything ungrateful. Our family attaches great importance to the marriage with your family. The thoughts of those women are my family's. Understand that I will never be foolish enough to promise them anything."
Gu Dagui was extremely scared at the moment. It would be bad if the Xu family thought that his family wanted to break off the engagement, or that they wanted to find a second house for Brother Xing.
Mr. Xu knew that Mrs. Chen just wanted to show off and did not dare to do anything that was against etiquette. After beating Mr. Chen, he had calmed down. Hearing Gu Dagui's words, he said: "I will take them to the government office first. You and your wife are separated." Ive been delayed here for too long, come back when youre done.
"Hey, don't worry." Gu Dagui and Chen responded quickly.
Not long after, Mr. Xu left with the rest of the mule cart team and drove to the government office.
The women who brought the girls were a little embarrassed, and they stabbed Mrs. Chen with words: "Oh, sister-in-law Gu, didn't you say that your nephew is very obedient to you? Why did you follow an old man? You aunties are just like me Uncle is no better than an outsider?"
The person who spoke was the proprietress of a grocery store in the north of the city. Because she and several newly opened tofu workshops were in the north of the city, she knew Mrs. Chen, and she felt that she had a grocery store and a house, so being able to bring her daughter to pick up Gu Dexing was already a blessing to him. Face, I was very angry when I saw him leaving.
Mrs. Chen felt that Mrs. Gan was a gossip, and she could get a lot of news about the city by chatting with her, so she had many affairs with her. Now that she heard this and thought of Mr. Xus warning, she lost all face and shouted: "What kind of outsider? That is Brother Xing's future wife's biological grandfather, and we are a family member!"
"What? Gu Xiucai is engaged?" The women present were shocked. Mrs. Gan was trembling with anger. She pointed at Mrs. Chen and asked, "Didn't you say that the eldest nephew in the family is not engaged? Why does a future wife appear now? My biological grandfather is here, you are playing tricks on us!"
Damn Mrs. Chen, a shrew, a liar, she was the one who said that Gu Dexing was not engaged. After they saw that Gu Dexing was admitted as a scholar, and their uncle and aunt opened a tofu workshop in Fucheng, they brought their daughter to pay attention to Gu Dexing.
Mrs. Chen felt a little guilty, but her aura was very strong. She put her hands on her hips and raised her head and said, "You are so cruel. I didn't lie to you. My eldest nephew is indeed not officially engaged, but the marriage with the Xu family has been verbally agreed upon." , we will be officially engaged when we return home this time.
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Gan and the others wanted to strangle Mrs. Chen to death. This cunning woman tricked them and left them with no reason to tear her apart. It was really annoying.
Seeing that they were so angry that they could not speak, Ms. Chen was happy and said: "Sisters-in-law, my brothers and sisters are not lying to you. We haven't officially engaged yet. My family has to worry about the reputation of the Xu family girls. Lest my family expose this matter. If your son spreads it to everyone, it will affect the reputation of the Xu family girl."
Hah, do you care about the reputation of the Xu family girl? It's obviously a deliberate concealment to avenge the fact that we looked down on your nephew in the first place!
When she sued the old Gu family, Mrs. Chen came to Fucheng. At that time, she visited all the matchmakers in Fucheng and asked about the girls from their families. But they disliked Mrs. Chen for being a country farmer. They scolded Mrs. Chen after learning from the matchmaker that a country woman was inquiring about girls from their family.
Mr. Chen must have overheard the gossip from the matchmaker, so she deliberately played tricks on them. Mrs. Gan and the others were very angry, but Gu Dexing was admitted as a scholar and was already a nobleman, so they could only swallow this.
Mrs. Chen was happy when she saw that they didn't dare to say harsh words anymore. She and her servants from the Xu family distributed copper coins to the people who were watching the excitement. They felt proud for another three quarters of an hour. After distributing the copper coins, they left in the workshop's mule cart. .
Mrs. Gan was so angry that she looked at the mule cart going away and cursed: "Bah, you shrew who always throws her chin into the sky as soon as she becomes powerful, don't be too proud. If Gu Dexing marries a stone girl and can't have children, you will be the best." Crying!
"Sister-in-law Gan, please don't say such curse words. If word spreads, Gu Dexing, as a scholar, can report us to the officials."
Thats right, that person surnamed Gu doesnt know whats going on. He loves to report to officials. Now there are two more scholars who have become a group with the yamen. We cant afford to offend him.
Other women tried to persuade Mrs. Gan.
Mrs. Gan had no choice but to give up after hearing this.
But when a beggar in rags next to him heard this, he came over and asked: "This noble lady, is the surname of the woman you just mentioned is Chen?"
"Who are you? Stinky beggar, get out of here!" Mrs. Gan was furious after being tricked by Mrs. Chen. She saw a beggar approaching. She was smelly and rancid. She immediately covered her nose and cursed: "Get out of here!" If you dare to take another step closer, I will report you to the officials. You are beggars, and your household registration must have been lost. If you are caught, you will be deprived of slave registration."
Hearing this, the beggar smiled apologetically and said, "Don't be angry, noble lady. I'm not here to beg. I thought the woman just now was kind-hearted, like my lost sister, so I wanted to inquire about her."
"What? Chen looks like your lost sister? Where did you come from?" Mrs. Gan was shocked and asked the beggar.
The beggar was a woman who looked around and whispered: "My dear lady, can we go to a place where there are few people to talk?"
He also assured: "Don't worry, noble lady, the hamstring of one of the younger's feet has been severed. He is disabled and cannot run fast. I dare not and will not do anything to you."
Mrs. Gan frowned, obviously not wanting to follow the beggar to talk to no one.
The beggar continued: "Seeing that the noble lady seems dissatisfied with that woman, I promise you that as long as you follow me, and as long as that person is my lost sister, you will be able to get rid of your anger. "
These words touched Mrs. Gan's heart. She thought about it and said, "Just wait here for now. I'll come back to you later."
Seeing that Mrs. Gan agreed, the beggar hurriedly responded: "Hey, I obey, little one."
