“If you don’t know how to write the word ‘respect,’ I don’t mind teaching you.”
Gu Zeyun’s tone was indifferent, and a blatant disgust appeared on his face.
If this kind of person became a new recruit under his command, he would have to train him half to death!
But Lin Dong wasn’t, he was, after all, Lin Nian’s family.
Before knowing Lin Nian’s thoughts, he would at most give him a lesson.
Gu Zeyun turned his head, and before he had time to say anything, he suddenly saw Lin Nian rushing over with tears in her eyes.
“Brother Yun, I’m sorry, I lied to you!”
“I know you hate greedy family members the most, so I said my parents were reasonable.”
“Please, please don’t dump me!”
“If my dad doesn’t get this bride price, he will beat me to death!”
Gu Zeyun’s whole body stiffened.
When Lin Nian rushed over, he smelled a fragrant breeze again. This girl didn’t have any defenses against him and directly threw herself into his arms.
Why didn’t she understand that men were all hungry wolves!
Gu Zeyun gritted his teeth and suddenly realized what Lin Nian meant.
She wanted him to cooperate and act.
He sneered and immediately followed up.
“The thing I hate most is when others make decisions for me. Your family wants too much, and I can’t afford it.”
“In that case, let’s forget about this marriage!”
After Gu Zeyun finished speaking, he released Lin Dong’s hand and turned to leave.
Zhao Shuzhen became anxious and rushed forward to block his way.
“How can this work? Our family doesn’t want it anymore, we don’t want anything…”
“Niannian is a good child, she is her! If you think we are bad, you can cut off contact in the future!”
Her eyes were full of tears, and it was obvious that she was sincerely thinking of her daughter.
Gu Zeyun paused, finally understanding why Lin Nian only bought a gift for her mother.
But on the surface, he still sighed.
“I’m afraid it won’t work.”
“Just now your son said that you can’t make the decisions in this family!”
Zhao Shuzhen didn’t know that the two were acting. Hearing this, she quickly looked at her husband, her voice with a hint of pleading.
“Jianguo, say something!”
“Niannian finally found a good match, do you have to ruin her!”
As a mother, she knew best the suffering Lin Nian had endured.
When she was a child, she was weak, and the barefoot doctor in the village suggested not letting her go to the fields. She fought with Lin Jianguo with all her might, and finally promised to take on all the farm work that Lin Nian should do, so that she could raise this daughter fair and tender.
But it was only fair and tender.
When Lin Nian was not even as tall as the stove, she began to learn how to cook. She earned work points in the fields, and the little girl took care of all the work at home.
Zhao Shuzhen felt sorry for her.
But before, she didn’t dare to make too much trouble. Lin Jianguo was big and would hit her at every turn.
She was fine, but Niannian cried so badly every time, rushing up to protect her. If she didn’t want her daughter to be beaten, she could only swallow her anger.
But this time was different!
Marriage was a major event in life! She didn’t want her daughter to marry the wrong person like herself and be delayed for a lifetime.
Therefore, Zhao Shuzhen was almost determined to die together, saying that she would make Lin Jianguo let go.
Lin Jianguo didn’t want to lose this golden son-in-law either. Hearing this, he could only grit his teeth.
“Don’t worry, a married daughter is like spilled water. When you get married, she will be a member of your Gu family.”
“We will definitely not say anything more.”
He still kept a trick up his sleeve.
After marriage, she would be a member of the Gu family, but before marriage, she was a member of the Lin family!
If the bride price wasn’t satisfactory, he couldn’t agree.
Lin Jianguo sighed and wanted to continue talking about this topic.
“Don’t blame your uncle for meddling, so many people saw you sending our Niannian back just now!”
“You say you don’t want it, do you not want our family’s reputation?”
“If this marriage falls through today, I can only go to your house and ask your parents!”
His words could be considered shameless.
Just because he escorted someone, he had to get married?
Wouldn’t it be enough to explain it properly?
At worst, he could say that he wasn’t good enough, and Lin Nian didn’t like him.
But Gu Zeyun also knew the principle of knowing when to stop, and after exchanging a glance with Lin Nian, he pretended to be helpless.
“Alright then, I didn’t expect that I would just go on a blind date and be pestered by you.”
“Comrade Lin Nian, you have a good mother, but this father and younger brother…”
He changed the subject and suddenly sighed.
“Oh, I won’t say more.”
“Let me give you a hint, it’s a new era now, women hold up half the sky, and our family hates those families who favor sons over daughters and treat their daughters as transactions.”
“I’m just afraid that when the parents meet, they won’t pass my elders’ test.”
Gu Zeyun said everything he needed to say.
He got up, quickly winked at Lin Nian, and then strode away.
Leaving only Lin Nian crying and continuing to act.
“It’s rare to meet such a good blind date, and you don’t even know how to pretend!”
“Now it’s good, the cooked duck has flown away, and we can’t get a penny of the bride price!”
“Do you know how good his conditions are? There are so many girls lining up to marry him…”
These words were not fake.
Didn’t Shen Chengye say it all? What little nurses, female soldiers in the cultural troupe…
It was just that they had only just met in this life, and Lin Nian couldn’t gossip too much.
But in her heart, she was very curious!
She made another effort, took a deep breath, and punched Lin Dong heavily.
“It’s all your fault! Now everything is gone!”
The bride price, the job, and the benefits that could be obtained from the Gu family after marriage…
All gone?
Lin Dong’s face was pale, and he couldn’t wait to slap himself twice.
He was usually arrogant and domineering, and even Lin Nian’s previous boyfriend, Shen Chengye, was polite to him.
So he subconsciously thought that as long as he opened his mouth, Gu Zeyun would have to give it.
But he forgot that Shen Chengye, like them, was just a peasant.
Gu Zeyun was a city dweller!
He wouldn’t really think that a few words from him would let such a sucker go, would he?
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He quickly looked at Lin Nian.
“Then what are you sitting there for?”
“Go chase him!”
“How can I have a stupid pig sister like you! No matter how powerful Gu Zeyun is, he is still a man.”
“If you take off your clothes, he won’t be able to resist, and then wouldn’t he…”
With a snap.
Lin Dong covered his face in disbelief.
“You hit me?”
“You dare to hit me?”
“Mom, you actually hit me for this good-for-nothing?”
It was Lin’s mother, Zhao Shuzhen, who slapped him.
Hearing her son’s words, her face was full of disappointment, but he was, after all, the flesh that fell from her womb, so she could only turn her head with tears in her eyes and push Lin Nian.
“Go chase him, don’t listen to your brother.”
“Mom will give you some money, you treat him to a meal, don’t let him think we are that kind of family…”
Zhao Shuzhen didn’t have much money.
She took out a few bills from her pocket, stuffed them into Lin Nian’s hand, and stuffed the new clothes into her arms.
“And these clothes, return them quickly!”
“Tell Gu Zeyun that although we are poor, we will never sell our daughter!”
