Chapter 38: The Past
"Qingqing, you also know, this is not a good thing, if it is known by outsiders, my Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu will definitely be pointed at, even Gu Bai, I am afraid that it will be difficult to talk about my daughter-in-law in the future......"
Even after so many years, Gu Qing still remembers these words clearly.
Although Gu Qing is shy, she is not a cowardly person, if it was just herself, she would definitely send Wu Jianren to prison without hesitation.
But she is not alone, she still has her parents and Gu Bai.
As long as he thought that Gu Guozhang and his wife and Gu Bai would suffer from their own eyes, Gu Qing's heart couldn't help but hurt.
It is true that she suffered a loss, but in the eyes of outsiders, if this matter really goes out, outsiders are afraid that not only will they not be able to understand her pain, but they will also think that she and Wu Jianren are already married, even if something happens, it is not surprising.
If there is someone who is a little darker, maybe they will think that Gu Qing took the initiative to slap Wu Jianren, the golden phoenix, in order to make this marriage more reliable, and say something that Gu Guozhang and Yang Xiuyun would not teach their daughter.
Either way, parents and younger brothers will be guided by themselves.
Because of this, she was persuaded by Wu Jianren to seize the opportunity, dispelled the idea of calling the police, and agreed to marry to the Wu family in advance.
Looking back now, Gu Qing felt that he was so stupid that he had nothing to say.
She was in school and suddenly married into the Wu family, even if outsiders don't know what happened, they can always guess eight or nine, which is not far from telling outsiders directly.
And Gu Guozhang and Yang Xiuyun, although they didn't understand why Gu Qing suddenly proposed to marry Wu Jianren, but because Gu Qing insisted, the Wu family promised that even if they got married, Gu Qing could continue to go to school, and the couple nodded in the end.
In this way, Gu Qing married into the Wu family, because Gu Qing was only seventeen years old, and she and Wu Jianren did not get a marriage certificate.
However, in the countryside of that era, such things abounded, and they were nothing.
At that time, Gu Qing thought very simply, the Wu family allowed her to continue to go to school, and Wu Jianren stayed in the city for a long time, and he couldn't come back for a few days all year round.
She didn't know what kind of fire pit she had stepped into.
In the second year of marriage, Gu Qing failed the college entrance examination.
This made Gu Qing feel a big blow, and after being discouraged for a while, under the white eyes of Zhao Sanmei, and words like "Didn't you say that your grades are very good, why didn't you even get into a university", Gu Qing decided to repeat her studies.
She didn't want to be like Zhao Sanmei from now on, nesting in this small village, revolving around the pot stove all day long.
Faced with Gu Qing's decision, Wu Shenglin and Zhao Sanmei, who patted their chests and promised before getting married that even if they got married, the old Wu family would provide for Gu Qing to go to school, but they resolutely opposed it.
In Zhao Sanmei's words, what does a woman do with reading so many books, since she didn't get admitted to college, she should accept her fate!
How could Gu Qing accept his fate?
After Gu Guozhang and Yang Xiuyun knew the attitude of the old Wu family, they did not hesitate to support Gu Qing, saying that if the old Wu family could not afford the cost of Gu Qing's restudy, the Gu family would not mind paying the money.
The two families are at a stalemate over this matter.
It was also at this time that Gu Qing found out that she was pregnant.
Because of this unexpected child, Gu Qing's plan to repeat could only be put on hold.
After conceiving in October, Gu Qing gave birth to a son, that is, Haohao.
For Haohao's birth, Wu Shenglin and Zhao Sanmei were very happy, and they insisted on holding a full moon banquet for Haohao.
It was at this full moon banquet that Gu Qing suddenly discovered that he had been living in a scam.
In the middle of the full moon banquet, a very fashionably dressed woman entered the courtyard of Lao Wu's house, and under the gaze of the villagers who came to drink the full moon wine, she came to Gu Qing's side, raised her hand and gave Gu Qing a slap.
It was the first time in Gu Qing's life that she was beaten, and she still remembers the hot feeling on her face.
However, compared to the chill after listening to the woman's words, what is the pain on the face?
This woman who suddenly appeared, named Zhang Jie, is Wu Jianren's daughter-in-law, the kind who received a marriage certificate.
Listening to Zhang Jie's words, Gu Qing only felt that his heart couldn't help sinking.
What could be more overwhelming than suddenly finding yourself living in a scam?
Unlike Wu Jianren, a golden phoenix that flew out of a mountain nest, Zhang Jie is a real phoenix, she is not only beautiful, but her parents are also figures with heads and faces in the city, even in the previous ten years, their family was at most low-key, and if you want to say hardship, it is not at all.
Such a girl who is so outstanding in both birth and appearance can naturally easily attract the attention of the opposite sex.
Wu Jianren is one of them.
Zhang Jie didn't take Wu Jianren in his eyes at first, but Wu Jianren looked like a dog, and secondly, the affectionate appearance he showed was really impressive, even if Zhang Jie was arrogant, she was just a girl in her twenties at that time, and it was not incomprehensible that she would be attracted to Wu Jianren.
Later, Wu Jianren and Zhang Jie faced the matter of graduation assignment.
Zhang Jie's family proposed that they could solve the problem of graduation assignment for Wu Jianren, but the condition was that Wu Jianren should be admitted to Zhang's family.
It's a word that will shame a man with self-esteem in his heart.
But no matter what, for Wu Jianren, being able to work in a middle school in the city and having such a powerful Yue family is undoubtedly much more important than self-esteem.
As a result, Wu Jianren successfully stayed in the city as a city man and became the son-in-law of the Zhang family.
This was what Wu Jianren hoped for, but when he really got all this, the senseless self-esteem in his heart began to haunt him again.
He remembered Gu Qing, who had beset him to marry in the village.
Dating Gu Qing, this was still Wu Jianren's initial pursuit of Zhang Jie's failure.
At that time, no matter how enthusiastic Wu Jianren was, Zhang Jie never looked at him squarely, and in addition to being annoyed, Wu Jianren felt that it was probably impossible for him to chase Zhang Jie, the real phoenix, so when he returned to Xiaowu Village, he thought of Gu Qing.
Gu Qing looks good and has good grades, so he has a good chance of being admitted to college.
It can be said that in addition to his background, in Wu Jianren's opinion, Gu Qing is stronger than Zhang Jie.
After setting such a family matter, when Gu Qing is admitted to university and assigned a job in the future, won't he be able to enjoy everyone's envy?
