Chapter 418 - Don’t Think That Others Don’t Have Mouths

“Oh my god, is that true…”

“Auntie Miao, I heard that your daughter wants to marry someone in the city! How is it? Has she found a target?”

Just as those people were talking enthusiastically, Gu Qingyao’s voice suddenly could be heard.

Everyone was fazed and a little awkward to see that Gu Qingyao was actually nearby. Could she have heard whatever they said about the Gu family just now?

Gu Qingyao looked at Miao Cuilan with an icy smile.

“Sister Liu Zao is not young anymore, and it’s time to discuss her marriage already. You always talk about letting Sister Liu Zao marry into the city, but I wonder if you’ve found a specific target?

“Oh, right! Sister Liu Zao was on such good terms with Gu Ruoqing previously. How is it? Did Gu Ruoqing’s father help Sister Liu Zao to get a job at the textile factory in the city? If she is working in the factory, she can interact with the city people and still has hope of marrying into the city. If she stays in the countryside the whole time and cannot meet a single person from the city, how can she marry a city man? Don’t you think so?”

“You…” Miao Cuilan’s complexion instantly turned ashen from anger.

Her heart still ached at the mention of Gu Ruoqing.

There was still a smile on Gu Qingyao’s face. “Auntie Miao, I know you want your daughter to marry a man in the city to live comfortably but don’t make it so obvious and say it everywhere! Did the countryside people offend you? If you say it everywhere and affect the thinking of other ladies to not want to stay in the countryside anymore, where will all the countryside lads find their wives!

“Moreover! You talked about the city so positively and seemed to be persistent about not staying in the countryside. How do you think those young ladies who just got married would feel? People have always felt that labor was the most honorable and there was nothing bad in marrying a countryside man. But if what you said influenced them and they feel that they married the wrong man, what are you going to do?

“This will affect the couple’s relationship. What if they get in a dispute and end up divorcing?”

Everyone’s expression changed!

Many of them had sons – some were just married and the others were matchmaking. If Miao Cuilan kept talking about marrying into the city and caused the other ladies to have the same thought as well, what were they going to do?

Seeing the changed expression of those people around her, Miao Cuilan was infuriated. “Gu Qingyao, don’t spout nonsense. I…”

“I didn’t spout nonsense! I’m making a guess only! You look down on the countryside lads and want to marry your daughter into the city, but there’s no need to publicize it everywhere like this! Look, your family doesn’t know anyone from the city at all. How are you going to marry your daughter in the city?

“I know that as a mother, you wish the best for your daughter, but you need to think for Sister Liu Zao as well! She is not young anymore and she will be one year older in the coming new year. What are you going to do if she can’t find someone from the city and wishes to marry a countryside man, but no one dares to marry her?”

“You…” Miao Cuilan hollered at once, “Shut up! Gu Qingyao, stop spouting nonsense here. If you continue to say such things about others, be careful as I’ll sue you.”

A cold smirk formed on Gu Qingyao’s lips. “Auntie Miao, you need evidence to sue me. If you sue me with fabricated lies, you can be sued back too. I did not say anything illegal just now. I’m persuading you to think about your own family first before your mouth runs off about others!

“What I said just now was to remind you! Else you’d think that others don’t have mouths.”

“You…”

“Where did Gu Ruoqing go to? Sister Liu Zao was on such good terms with her. Didn’t she follow Gu Ruoqing around the whole day during that period?”
