Chapter 384 The whole village mobilizes
Gu Mingyue didn't have to worry for long. A few days later, Guanglei brought Mei Nanxing back to the village, and Mei Xiuhai also came with them!
"marry!"
"I am also a person who is half buried in the ground. To see Nanxing have a good ending in my lifetime is my only wish for the rest of my life."
After Mei Xiuhai finished speaking, he sighed and said, "I know you have doubts. To be honest, what I just said is only one of the reasons. There is another part. Do you remember the pair of brothers who were trying to blackmail me before?"
Gu Mingyue nodded, "I remember. I've been wanting to ask, have you found the mastermind behind those two people?"
Mei Xiuhai smiled bitterly and said, "I found it. It was a trap set by my eldest disciple who was expelled from the sect. He was the one who reported me back then. He probably didn't expect that I would return alive, and that dawn would dispel darkness, making those villains who schemed behind the scenes become rats crossing the street and be hunted down by everyone. He came to me many times to seek peace, but I refused him every time. Considering our past friendship, I didn't kill him. In the end, I was too soft-hearted and gave him the opportunity. He didn't repent and held a grudge against me. His goal was to make me suffer since he couldn't live well."
Gu Mingyue frowned, "This man wasn't caught?"
"They were arrested, but they were only attempting to commit a crime. It was also found that the brothers' mother died of illness, so they were only detained for a month before being released. This time, I didn't show my kindness. I asked someone to drive away the eldest disciple's family. However, even though one ungrateful person left, there were still many people eyeing the Mei family. When they saw that there was only one old and one young in our family, whether they were acquaintances or neighbors, they always came to propose marriage, clearly wanting to bite off a piece of meat from the Mei family. There would always be a day when I would leave, and I was really worried about leaving Nanxing alone in this world surrounded by wolves. But this child is stubborn and has never confessed. Now that I finally see that she has someone she likes, they are anxious to come to our house."
Gu Mingyue couldn't help but ask the girl sitting next to her, "You should know Guanglei's situation. Do you mind?"
Mei Nanxing looked at Guanglei gently and said firmly, "Don't you think I'm taking advantage of you?"
Gu Mingyue was stunned. "What do you mean?"
Mei Nanxing said seriously, "I have seen the kind of love that lasts forever like my parents, and I have also seen couples who wish each other would go to hell. I think people's feelings will change over time. Being moved is true, and changing one's heart is also true. Especially after experiencing the reality of firewood, rice, oil and salt, the feelings that once loved each other will always be mixed with impurities and cannot stand the test. Maybe one day in the future, I will feel tired of life, but Guanglei will not. He will always be the young man who smiled at me sincerely and enthusiastically in the sun. So, facing this love that belongs to me alone and whose heart never grows old, don't you think it is precious?"
Gu Mingyue was moved by the sincerity in the other person's eyes, and then asked Guanglei, "What about you? Is there anything you want to say?"
"Aunt, I want to be with Nanxing. I will take good care of her and live a good life. In the future, we will honor you together."
Gu Mingyue waved her hand and said, "Don't worry about me. Just live your life well."
She thought for a while, and said to Mei Xiuhai, "Since you came here in person, we should keep our family separate. It's a good thing that the children like each other. I was worried that you would make trouble before, and I was embarrassed to face you. Now I can finally rest assured. I will choose a date later and let them get married as soon as possible. As for the specific details, wait for me and my uncle to ask them. Mainly because I don't have much experience, but I want to tell you about the betrothal gift. This is what I thought about early on. Please listen to it, and tell me if you are not satisfied with it. The first thing to get married is the house. I think so. I will expand the current house so that the young couple can live alone in the future..."
Guanglei quickly said, "Aunt, Nanxing and I have agreed to live with you..."
"Don't interrupt me, let me finish. I'll go back to Beijing with you this time, and we'll buy a house there. I won't interfere with where you want to live after marriage, but you have to get everything done. Also, we'll hold a wedding banquet in the village first, and then hold another one in Beijing. That's all I can think of for now, Mr. Mei, do you have anything else to add?"
Mei Xiuhai said frankly, "In fact, I really don't care about the conditions. What I like is Guanglei as a person. Don't worry, I will treat Guanglei as my own grandson in the future and will never treat him unfairly."
Gu Mingyue said seriously, "Now that we've come to this, I'll shamelessly ask you for a promise."
"You said."
"As Nanxing said, people's hearts are fickle. As for Guanglei, I never care how much money he makes or what he does, I just want him to live comfortably. I will be a villain first and a gentleman later. Today I will be a villain for once. I want to exchange my previous favor for a promise from you: Can you swear on the reputation of the Mei family that if one day Nanxing is fed up with his childish nature, or if Guanglei does something wrong and makes her dislike him, no matter whose fault it is, I hope they can part ways in peace. If I am no longer alive at that time, please don't bully him or plot against him, and send someone to send him back to any person with the surname Gu in Gujia Village. I don't want anything, I just hope he can live the rest of his life in peace."
Mei Xiuhai solemnly promised, "Don't worry, if that day ever comes, I swear to my ancestors that I will never break my promise to you. If I break this oath, I will not have a good end."
Gu Mingyue stood up and bowed, "Thank you very much for your generosity."
Mei Xiuhai hurriedly stood up and helped her up. "Girl, there's no need to be like this. I understand."
Gu Mingyue turned and said, "Guanglei, you too, you have to promise your aunt that after marriage, you will be loyal to Nanxing, take responsibility for the family, and be the pillar of this family. If there is any disagreement between the two of you that leads to a breakup, you are not allowed to pester her. Go back to the village, go home, and live your life well. But remember, if you are indecisive and do something immoral, your aunt will kowtow to your grandfather Mei to apologize on your behalf while she is still alive. If your aunt is not here, it's okay for you to admit your mistakes, but if you refuse to repent, then we will never see each other again after we die. Do you understand clearly?"
"Listen clearly."
Gu Mingyue took Mei Nanxing's hand again and warned, "What I said just now was just in case, don't take it as an offense. I would rather see you two living in harmony. If Guanglei does something wrong, you should remind him. If he makes you angry, you should punish him. Don't be too accommodating to him. You should be lenient to yourself and strict with him. In the future, you may face various trivial matters and even problems with your children, and you will still be the one who has to work the hardest. So, let Guanglei do more of the housework and don't tire yourself out, understand?"
"understood."
Soon, the news that Guanglei was going to get married spread, and the whole family, no, the whole village, attached great importance to it.
The villagers were sure that they would not be able to live to see their aunt’s wedding, but having received so much kindness from her without having the chance to repay her, they were always thinking about her in their hearts.
Now that the opportunity has come, the whole village must be mobilized...
Liu Caixia specially asked someone to calculate and found that there were three good days. One was two months later, which was May, and the others were August and October.
Since the first one was too tight and the last one was a bit late, I just chose to compromise.
Even though Guanglei repeatedly expressed his unwillingness to live alone, Gu Mingyue still insisted on expanding the house.
After all, she was married, and she felt that it would be more comfortable and free for her to live her own life alone.
However, seeing that Guanglei would probably stay in Beijing for a long time, Gu Mingyue only gave the house in the village a simple renovation.
Of course, we have everything we need, but the focus is still on the house we bought in Beijing.
