Chapter 15: Standing on the stage and giving a speech

"Ah, Dad, why are you hitting people?" Chen Zhaodi shouted sharply.

Gu Laoliu added fuel to the fire, "Tsk, you're making so much noise, just be happy that I didn't hit you."

When Li Dayong first arrived in the village, he was dark, thin, and dressed in rags, and no one wanted to play with him.

It was the original owner who noticed that he was always alone and asked the children in the village to take him with them when they played.

This allowed him to gradually integrate into Gujia Village, and from then on Li Dayong followed everyone in calling the original owner "Auntie".

Li Dayong was very grateful to this non-blood-related aunt.

In particular, the original owner would occasionally teach villagers to read and write, and Li Dayong was one of them.

Although the original owner wanted to take this opportunity to repay everyone for their help to her family.

But it is undeniable that the original owner's approach did benefit some children who could not afford to go to school.

It also made her more popular in the village.

Because Li Dayong could read and write, he found a temporary job in the town.

Even if he only worked for a few months, it would allow him to save some money and gain some experience.

At this time, his parents put his marriage on the agenda, and the matchmaker came to introduce them, and the Chen and Li families quickly settled on it.

I didn't expect everything to be fine before marriage.

After marriage, Chen Zhaodi's true nature was exposed: mean, unreasonable, jealous, and she would throw a tantrum whenever something happened, causing the Li family a lot of headaches.

The Li family are all honest people.

Fortunately, Li Dayong was able to suppress Chen Zhaodi, so she didn't go too far.

The country is easy to change and the nature is difficult to change.

In recent years, Chen Zhaodi has become more and more aggressive, which makes the Li family extremely disgusted.

In the past, considering that they were husband and wife, Chen Zhaodi just wanted to be filial to her parents at home.

Even though she always packed up things at home and brought them to her parents' home, Li Dayong turned a blind eye.

But it involves my aunt, and has nothing to do with love between men and women.

He just respected his aunt from the bottom of his heart and regarded her as a mentor in life.

So it is even less likely that he will continue to tolerate it.

Li Dayong raised his head and said solemnly, "Chief, it's my fault. Don't worry, there won't be a next time."

After saying that, he ignored Chen Zhaodi's struggle and pulled her out of the village.

Li's parents and everyone around him understood what Li Dayong meant, but they did not try to persuade him or stop him.

Perhaps at the moment when Chen Zhaodi showed disrespect to the clan leader...

She was destined to be expelled from Gujia Village.

Gu Mingyue had only seen in novels or on TV how the family's prestige could awe people, and how some people were obsessed with being included in the family tree.

She once thought it absurd, but when she truly witnessed the majesty of the head of a clan, she was truly shocked.

Gu Mingyue knew that although her uncle seemed to be venting his anger for her, he actually wanted to support her more.

She was grateful in her heart, but she didn't want to be protected like this forever.

So she signaled to her uncle that she had something to say.

With the tacit approval of her uncle, Gu Mingyue walked to the front of the stage and said, "I'll excuse you for a moment... Many of you here have watched me grow up. Although the seniority cannot be messed up, in my heart, I regard you as my elders.

Of course, there are also my younger generations among them, some of whom married here later, or settled in our village again;

The reason why I stand up today is mainly to tell everyone that you don’t have to worry about what happened in the past. I think my father must have the same idea as me;

My father did that back then, not for her daughter, but today I am here to repay you all for your kindness. I, Gu Mingyue, will never do anything to tarnish my father's reputation.

I am very grateful for your care for our family over the years. I will always remember it. Here, I bow to you all. "

After saying this, Gu Mingyue bowed deeply to the audience. With this bow, she fulfilled the original owner's wish.

Without waiting for everyone's reaction, Gu Mingyue stood up and said, "It just so happens that while you are all here today, I also have something to announce: I have decided to drop out of school."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expression changed drastically, including Gu Guoqiang.

Gu Mingyue really felt that plans could not keep up with changes, and was originally planning to act first and report later.

But the atmosphere has already been created to this point, and it would be a waste if I didn’t say anything.

"Don't try to persuade me. I know you all feel sorry for me, but what I want to do most now is to protect my home and Little Stone.

The ancients often said that one should observe mourning for three years. I didn’t think that much about it. I just wanted to be closer to my father, my mother, my eldest brother, and my second brother. I wanted to be with them.

I want them to see that their daughter and sister have grown up, and can start their own family and live a good life with Xiao Shitou. "

When talking about this, those with shallow tear dimples were wiping away tears.

The eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law each held a little kid in their arms and cried.

Gu Mingyue concluded sincerely, "I have been in school these years, and I am indeed lacking in social skills. If I do something wrong in the future, please forgive me.

Also, I will move to next to my uncle's house in the future. When the time comes, I will ask for your help in building and moving so that Xiao Shitou and I can move into the new house as soon as possible. That's all I have to say. Thank you all."

Gu Mingyue's "impassioned speech" had a strong impact.

It was so serious that every family would remind their relatives to be polite to the aunt and nephew when they saw them in the future.

Since she returned to her uncle's side, her elder and younger sisters-in-law have been even more concerned about her.

The eldest and second brothers looked melancholy, and the eldest uncle was smoking a cigarette all the time.

Gu Guoqiang called Gu Mingyue over and asked, "Have you really thought it through?"

Gu Mingyue nodded seriously, "Yes."

"No regrets?"

"Uncle, even if I don't go to college, I can still live a good life. Do you believe me?"

Gu Mingyue's determined expression made Gu Guoqiang realize that no matter how much he tried to persuade her, it would be in vain.

But when I thought that it was a university... I felt it was such a pity and in the end, all I could do was sigh.

Gu Mingwei also reacted, "Mingyue, your school doesn't start on September 1st, right?"

Gu Mingyue played dumb and said, "Hehe."

"Alas, I knew you had the right idea, but I didn't expect it to be so right. You are 'if you don't make a sound, you will make a splash'."

Gu Mingyue didn't want to continue this topic. "Brother, don't forget to ask me about the bricks and window glass.

"Okay, I'll go ask you this afternoon."

Gu Mingyue walked home with Xiao Shitou with a relaxed look on her face, leaving her uncle's family in despair.

On the way, Xiao Shitou held Gu Mingyue's hand and asked as they walked, "Aunt, why are the eldest and second aunts crying?"

"Maybe you're thinking of something sad. Little Stone, do you feel like crying?"

Little Stone stopped dwelling on the topic and thought carefully, "Yes, there are many things. I can't see my grandma, I can't find my aunt, and, also, my egg is missing."

"Dandan? Who is Dandan?" Gu Mingyue thought that there were no pets at home.

"Dan Dan is Dan Dan. He plays with me and brings me food. But, but, Xiao Shitou hasn't seen Dan Dan for a long time."

The little guy himself couldn't explain it clearly, so Gu Mingyue asked him in a different way, "How did you and Dandan know each other?"

Gu Mingyue thought it was a kid from the village, but she only heard Little Stone explain, "It likes to eat eggs. At first, it was disobedient and ate eggs secretly. Later, my grandma beat it, and then it became obedient and played with me. My grandma also gave it eggs."

Gu Mingyue: I still don’t understand…

"Whose child is Dandan?"

Little Shitou looked up at Gu Mingyue helplessly and sighed like a little adult.

Gu Mingyue was completely stunned. If she was not mistaken, the look in the little guy's eyes just now revealed "pity" or "sympathy"? ? ?

Little Stone thought his aunt was so stupid. An egg is just an egg. How can it become a human? !

Alas, grandma was right. He is a man and must protect his aunt.

My aunt is so nice, although she is not very smart...

Thinking of this, Xiao Shitou stood still and said to Gu Mingyue solemnly, "Aunt, don't worry, I will take good care of you."

Gu Mingyue couldn't help laughing when she heard the promise made by a little three-head-tall kid.

Forget it, don’t worry about it. Children’s ideas are naturally wild.

She picked up the little stone curiously and said, "Well, I'll leave my aunt in your hands from now on."

Little Stone patted his chest and said, "Aunt, don't worry."

"Little Stone, let's think about what to eat for lunch now."

The two walked home chatting and laughing, causing Gu Mingwei, who was trying to persuade them, to stop.

They could take care of Xiao Shitou, but to be honest, even his own son had never been taken care of as carefully as Mingyue.

Maybe Mingyue’s choice will be regrettable, but it is what she wants most.

After all, they couldn't make a decision for Mingyue, and saying too much would only add to her troubles.

When Gu Guoqiang got home, he saw his eldest son coming back so quickly and asked in confusion, "Didn't you catch up?"

"I caught up with them. The aunt and niece were kissing each other, so I didn't go up to spoil their fun. Dad, forget it. Mingyue must have made up her mind long ago, otherwise she wouldn't have deliberately delayed the start date of school.

The child is homesick and doesn't want to leave, so let's not make things difficult for him. It's a good thing that Mingyue stays in the village and we can take care of her."

Gu Guoqiang took a puff of his cigarette and said, "That's a university. It's such an honor for our family to have only one female university student in our family."

"Oh, Dad, we are still against feudal superstition. Don't always mention the past. At least Mingyue passed the exam. It doesn't matter whether she passed or not. It really wasn't easy for the child these years. Now she has something she wants to do. Let's not stop her."

The old man didn't say anything after listening, and Gu Mingwei knew that his father had heard it.

Giving a look to his second brother, Gu Mingzhong asked Guangxin to go and play with grandpa.

The little girl reacted quickly and squeezed towards her grandfather with a gap in her tooth.

Gu Guoqiang was distracted, and the grandfather and grandson started playing together after a while, and everyone finally relaxed.

At this time, Gu Guoqiang suddenly said, "Boss, pack up and go to town early."

Gu Mingwei: Yes, he is destined to run errands.
