The next day, Aunt Qiu ca to Gu Family’s house, clearly having received a call from the buyer. While sitting with the Gu Family, she was all smiles toward Gu Nuan’s mom, "Where is your husband?"
"He went to play mahjong."
Gu Nuan’s father might have been scolded by the old man when he returned to his hotown these past two days, leaving him feeling irritated and thus looking for fun elsewhere.
Aunt Qiu seed to have heard so news about this and peeked at Gu Nuan’s bedroom door, then whispered to Gu Nuan’s mom, "Is it true that Gu Nuan’s marriage arrangent fell through and her grandfather found out and was displeased?"
Gu Nuan’s mom didn’t know how these people always seed to be so well-inford. Yes, they, the parents, found out about it only after Gu Nuan had co back. But when they rushed back to their hotown because they heard the elderly was ill and when they visited him, Gu Nuan’s grandfather sohow already knew about it and berated them openly. During the two days they were in their hotown, they were constantly scolded by him.
After coming back, she hadn’t dared to ntion any of this to her daughter, only saying that the old man was throwing a fit from loneliness and didn’t let people co back. In reality, what was it? The old man specifically called only the couple back to scold them.
It was very tough on Gu Nuan’s mom.
The fact that their daughter was deaf was always a sore point for her. Because of this, her in-laws constantly criticized her as a daughter-in-law. They blad her for mishandling her daughter, causing her condition. In other words, it was Gu Nuan’s mom who had brought such a fate upon the Wa Family’s granddaughter and bore the main responsibility.
Finding a childhood sweetheart as a boyfriend for Gu Nuan, who even considered marriage, was not easy, and now it had suddenly fallen through. One could only imagine what the grandparents were thinking.
"They are probably worried that Gu Nuan won’t be able to get married," Aunt Qiu nodded as if she deeply understood the old folks’ concerns, "With a disability like Gu Nuan’s, most families would definitely be hesitant, not readily accepting her as a daughter-in-law. Initially, when that woman from the Wa Family said she could accept Gu Nuan’s ears and didn’t mind at all, I always thought she and her son were quite odd. People can’t be that good-hearted."
Gu Nuan’s mom really wanted to glare at Aunt Qiu. The way Aunt Qiu spoke was clearly aggravating her already troubled heart.
Back then, when Gu Nuan ntioned this marriage arrangent, Aunt Qiu fully supported it on the side, saying the Wa Family had discerning eyes. Now, it was a complete 180-degree turnaround.
"I’m serious," Aunt Qiu said earnestly to Gu Nuan’s mom, "Nuannuan is kind to , and now I see clearly. Don’t worry, if they don’t want Nuannuan, I, as her Aunt, will definitely help my niece by introducing soone even better to her."
Just then, Gu Nuan’s dad returned, unlocking the door himself. Hearing what Aunt Qiu said, he imdiately rushed over, excitedly asking Aunt Qiu, "Auntie, do you have a good candidate?"
Gu Nuan’s mom felt like rolling her eyes. Could Gu Nuan’s dad really believe the words of Aunt Qiu, that turncoat? What was he thinking? He was Gu Dad’s relative, not hers. Thinking this way, Gu Nuan’s mom simply turned around and left, not willing to listen to any more unpleasant words from the Gu Family mbers.
Aunt Qiu and Gu Dad were chattering about sothing in the living room, while Gu Nuan’s mom couldn’t hear them clearly as she was cooking in the kitchen.
Shortly after, Gu Nuan got ready, ca out of her room, and was about to accompany Aunt Qiu to sign a contract.
Seeing her co out, Aunt Qiu instantly stopped talking and signaled Gu Dad with her eyes. Gu Dad moved aside, not looking at his daughter.
Standing up, Aunt Qiu smiled at Gu Nuan, "Ready, Nuannuan?"
Gu Nuan nodded and said to her parents, "Dad, Mom, I’m going out with Auntie Qiu for a bit."
"Ah," Gu Dad obviously reacted a beat too slow.
