Chapter 24: Abandonment

She was fifteen years old when she married him, and he was already twenty years old, in Jiankang and even the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, men who have not yet married at this age are simply rare, of course, those poor families cannot afford to marry daughters-in-law.

She thought that he had been waiting for her, and when she reached her age, when her filial piety for her mother and brother had expired, she thought that he was a good man who kept his promises and righteousness.......

"Eighteen mothers? Eighteen mothers? Cao shook her shoulders with some trepidation.

What's wrong with this kid? His face was so pale, his breathing was so rapid, and his eyes were so red......

She looked up at the sky, the May day was already a little hot, Cao got up and took the kettle from the car, broke Gu Banniang's mouth and fed it.

The water, which had been hot under the sun for nearly a day, was already a little warm, and most of it flowed to Gu Bainiang's clothes.

"Mother.." Gu Banniang clutched her chest and gasped a few breaths, looking at Cao's weak smile, "I'm fine..."

Saying that, in order to alleviate Cao's uneasiness, she reached out and took the kettle and drank it herself.

"Maybe it's hot, and I'm a little thirsty.." She shook the kettle and smiled again.

Although his face was still a little pale, his expression was much better, not as scary as Fang Cai Mumu's, Cao Shi breathed a sigh of relief, and stroked her forehead distressedly, "You stupid child, don't you say it early when you're tired and thirsty..."

Gu Banniang smiled and didn't speak again, holding the kettle, her brain spun quickly.

In this way, there is really a marriage contract, marrying Shen Anlin? Marry him again?

Marry him and be divorced by him again? A sarcastic smile appeared on Gu Bainiang's lips.

This shame once is enough!

"And thenβ€”" She asked, looking at Cao, trying to calm down.

She remembered that her father failed the list twice, was deeply shocked, and was ridiculed by his relatives, and after becoming married, he took his mother back to Xianren County, and since then he has been studying here for exams, and there are few opportunities to return to Jiankang, so what is the relationship with the Shen family?

"Later..." Cao sighed, melancholy on his face.

Gu Bainiang's eyes lit up, there was a problem!

"Later, your father failed in the third exam, and Master Shen San was admitted, after all, where is the family's background..... future will naturally improve......" Cao said, a trace of guilt flashed on his face, and he looked at Gu Bainiang.

"So, my father didn't have any contact with Master Shen San later?" Gu Bainiang asked.

Cao's silence is two families with different statuses, but they are just a joke when they are frustrated, and the days of young madness have passed, and they still have their own ways to go.

Over the years, the Shen family has never come to say hello, and at the beginning, Gu's father also wrote letters, and the words of the two replies became more and more perfunctory, and in the end, there was no reply at all.

Presumably Master Shen San regretted his impulsiveness when he was young, right?

β€œβ€¦ Eighteen mothers.." Cao Shi felt a little guilty and a little comforted, this is a good family business, but I am afraid that this marriage will not be so easy.

I see! Gu Bainiang suddenly smiled, her smile became stronger and stronger, no wonder the first time she came to the door to say that her family matter was rejected, the second uncle and aunt came back with a humiliated look and lost her temper with herself.

Then the Shen family originally didn't admit this family affair at all, right? Then why did you admit it later?

Gu Banniang was overjoyed, and fell into doubts again.

β€œ.. When I go back for the Chinese New Year this year, my mother will go to the Shen family..."Cao Shi stroked his daughter's shoulder and said slowly, in a firm tone that he had never felt before.

"Mother," Gu Banniang raised her head and smiled, "Forget about this family business." ”

Cao Shi was stunned and looked at her a little puzzled.

"This family affair was originally drunk and drunk, why take it seriously?" Gu Bainiang held Cao's hand and said solemnly.

Cao Shi shook his head and said, "A gentleman should be cautious in his words and deeds, since Master Shen said this, how can it not count?" As he spoke, he patted Gu Banniang's hand, "Don't worry, the Shen family is not such a treacherous person...."

The premise is that you have to take the initiative to come to the door, well, go to the door to find them, it seems that it is impossible to take the initiative to wait for them to come.

Gu Bainiang smiled, this actually has nothing to do with treachery, speaking of trustworthiness, it depends on who you are with, what is the righteousness of faith, frustrated friends, and drunken words, I am afraid that Master Shen San is now eager to never meet Gu's father in this life.

It's no wonder that after marrying into the Shen family, his father-in-law has never given him a good face, and his existence reminds him of the unbearable past every moment.

No wonder Shen Anlin has always been very cold to himself, this marriage did not fulfill his wishes.

Only the mother-in-law is very good to herself... Gu Bainiang closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

"Mother, you also said that a gentleman should be cautious in his words and deeds, and he must do what he says." She looked at Cao Shi and said, "The marriage contract promised by Master Shen San was originally drunk and drunk, so how can we be cautious in our words and deeds, we still laugh well, why bother ourselves?" ”

Cao wanted to say something, but Gu Bainiang stopped her.

"What's more, now we are not in the right relationship with the Shen family," Gu Bainiang continued, she stood up, "If the Shen family had the heart to admit this family business, Daddy should have come and gone a long time ago, Shen Anlin's age is not young..... and there is,"

She turned to look at the Cao family, "I remember that when my father was mourning, I didn't see the Shen family coming..."

Cao acquiesced, sighed, she naturally sent a post to the Shen family, and there was a glimmer of hope in her heart at that time, but it turned out to be expected but unreasonable, it seems that the Shen family and herself are already completely passers-by.

"Mother, you've said that's all right, let's go to the door again, pull someone else's drunken words, and force others to fulfill their promises, isn't it boring to find yourself?" Gu Banniang said.

When I say this, it seems that my own family is really deceiving people too much.....

Cao Shi frowned, and his face was a little apprehensive.

"Take a step back and say, the Shen family is really a family that keeps its promises, and we can't refuse the agreement we put forward, so I have to agree, I entered their house, this day is ....." Gu Bainiang looked at Cao Shi with a little bitterness and smiled.

The marriage was forced by others, and everyone in the Shen family is uncomfortable with how they look at this daughter-in-law.

"I know that my mother wants me to find a good family to live a good life, the Shen family is a high-ranking family, and when I enter, I naturally have no worries about the livelihood of brocade clothes and jade, but..."

In fact, the Shen family can no longer live a life of fine clothes and food, and now the Shen family has sold out of fertile land, of course, compared with the days in the Gu family, it is still much better, but so what?

Sitting alone against the lamp every night.....

Every day before people humble and careful....

In the end, I don't know why I came to death.....

Cao sighed, no one knows better than her what kind of character her daughter has, life in a high-ranking family is not easy, not to mention that her in-laws don't like it.....

That's it.

"Eighteen Niang, do you want to drink some more water?" She stood up, took the kettle and handed it to Gu Banniang.

It's done, Gu Bainiang breathed a sigh of relief, with a strong smile on her face.

"No, let's hurry up, we'll be worried if my brother can't see him when he comes home." She took the kettle and put it on the cart, reaching out to push it up.

Shen Anlin, this time I want to be a bystander, watching you, a despicable villain who is unfilial and unfaithful, talk about life and death, so as to eliminate the hatred in my heart and compensate for my abandonment.

Cao Shi watched his daughter push the car, and hurriedly followed, looking at the little back straight and pushing the car, obviously not used to shaking, and couldn't help but feel sad, do you want your daughter to live a lifetime on such a day?

"Mother.." Gu Bainiang seemed to guess what was on her mind, turned her face and smiled, "We will have a good life." ”
