Chapter 1000: Marriage is a Second Birth!

Li Laosi bent over to finish drawing water, she let out a loud wail and began to cry.Li Laosi hurriedly put down his daughter to check, and Jia An and Jia Xi also ran over to ask."Did your sister just...“Oh, my lady, if only I hadn't gotten married! I wish I could stay with you all the time. I wish I could be this happy forever. Oh, I regret it, I regret it!” Gu Qingqing’s tears fell like raindrops, soaking into Jia Yin’s neck and burning her a little. 。Everyone also stopped their chopsticks mid-air, not knowing what was going on. 。Then it was Baozhu, the little birthday star, who reacted first. She quickly drove away all the maidservants and wet nurses, instructing them not to utter a single word, then tightly shut the doors and windows of the water pavilion. 。Xu Xi and Mei Lan stepped forward to help Gu Qingqing up, effectively rescuing Jia Yin. 。The Third Princess was a little frightened, she walked over and grabbed Jia Yin's hand, her face full of surprise. 。

Mei Lan is more steady and composed in personality. She also has a lot to do with Gu Qingqing, so she's worried that others won't be happy, so she couldn't help but say a few extra words for her.

"Don't blame Gu sister, her life is too hard. " 。Originally, her mother-in-law had already passed away, and her father-in-law was seriously ill. She thought that after the elders were gone, life would be better without their interference. 。"To her surprise, she discovered after her marriage that her father-in-law was feigning illness and would soon take another wife." 。His assets were nearly squandered by his spendthrift father, yet he still insisted on maintaining appearances and the household expenses were exorbitant. 。"Gu elder sister was appointed as the head of the family, which meant she had to use her dowry to plug the hole in their finances. " 。Gu sister's husband thinks he is talented but not appreciated, drinks all day, and recently forced Gu sister to sell her dowry estate. Gu sister refused, so he beat her. 。"Even Gu Sister's mother-in-law blamed her for not having children, finding ways to pressure her... This time, it was Gu Elder who brought her home to stay for two days before she could come over." 。As she spoke, perhaps remembering that she too was about to be married, Meilan wiped away a tear. 。When a woman gets married, it's like being reborn. If she's unlucky and marries the wrong person, her entire life could be ruined. 。Such cases as Gu Qingqing are definitely not in the minority. 。It's just that some people are willing to speak up, while others endure it until their dying breath. 。Xu Xi was also hanging her head, sighing deeply. 。The Third Princess had a fiery temper. She'd never suffered any grievances since she was little, and immediately cried out, "Marrying isn't the same as selling oneself into slavery, why should I endure such humiliation Why doesn't she go back home to ask for help!" Gu Qingqing heard this and cried even harder. 。Xu Xi pulled out her handkerchief and explained in a low voice, "The Gu family is a scholarly family with a hundred years of reputation. They are extremely strict about etiquette..." 。Just call him the Dean. He's been widowed for half his life and hasn't remarried. 。Actually, at the beginning, no one suggested a marriage match. But my family didn't allow it. 。"Gu Jie naturally complained too, but her family wouldn't support her divorce at all. Instead, they urged Gu Jie to bear children for her in-laws quickly so that her situation would improve later on." 。Everyone was exasperated, feeling trapped in a hopeless mire. 。"That can't be tolerated either, you know In the end, you'll either be tormented to death or die of resentment." 。"It's hard enough to be reborn, I didn't come into this world to suffer for my entire life!" The Third Princess stomped her foot in anger. She even said, "Where is your husband's family I'll go back with you and scold them for you!"Gu Qingqing's eyes lit up, just about to speak, when Jia Yin pulled the Third Princess back, blocking her, "No way, if the princess goes to scold them, maybe Gu sister's in-laws will behave themselves, but the princess can't be supporting Gu sister forever." 。"Besides, Gu elder sister is younger and hasn't given birth to a child. If this gets spread around, her in-laws won't even need to speak up; everyone will scold Gu elder sister for being unfilial and disrespectful, and the princess's reputation will also be tarnished." 。Upon hearing this, Gu Qingqing's eyes lost their light once again, her face ashen. 。 Xu Xi and Mei Lan were also despondent. Mei Lan choked back tears, "Why must women get married Can't they stay at their parents' home for life" Bao Zhu was soft-hearted and felt even more sorrow, "I don't want to get married either, it's really terrifying." 。Jia Yin didn't want to get involved in the mess, after all, there were already many things going on at home. 。But after all, they are sisters who have been together for many years, and their relationship is very close. 。Moreover, from a woman's perspective, she also finds it unacceptable. 。So, she thought for a moment and then gestured for everyone to sit down. "I have an idea," she said, "listen carefully and see if it's feasible""Feasible Definitely feasible!" The Third Princess responded first, proudly praising her, "Jia Yin is the smartest! As long as you think of a way, it will definitely work!" Jia Yin glared at her playfully and helplessly said, "Don't put a crown on my head, I haven't even gotten married myself. It's all just rambling. Just listen first." 。Having said that, she poured herself a cup of tea to moisten her throat and organize her thoughts. 。"Gu Jie, in this situation, your in-laws disapprove, and your family doesn't support you. A divorce is definitely out of the question." 。Then let's figure out how to make Gu JieJie live a good life, even if we don't get married. 。A woman after marriage follows her husband, and after her husband's death she follows her son. 。Ultimately, it still boils down to relying on the son. 。Only with a son can you truly stand firm in your husband's family, so let's start from this point!"Gu sister has always been unhappy. First, we need to make sure if there is any problem with her body." 。Thus, if you can still stay at your parents' home for a few more days, I will ask my master to take action and give you a pulse diagnosis. He will prescribe some medicine to help you nourish your body. 。Gu Qingqing wanted to nod, but remembering something, her face became a little embarrassed. She glanced at everyone and said in a low voice, “I want to recuperate my body and have a baby sooner.” 。But…that man didn’t come to my house, and besides, I don’t like him. 。Everyone understood, and their faces flushed red. They lowered their heads, too embarrassed to look up. 。Jia Yin, on the other hand, didn't seem to care at all. She said, "This isn't a problem. You just need to take care of your health and he can come to your place. I'll tell you more about it privately later." 。"You bear with me for a night or two, after you give birth to a child, you'll have someone to rely on for life, and then no one will need to compromise anymore." 。" Go Qingqing nodded vigorously, her fists clenched. "Fine, I've endured this for so long, what's a little while more" 。"What about the dowry Those people will ruin Gu sister's dowry, what shall we do" The Third Princess was anxious and urged. 。"This is easier," Jia Yin chuckled slyly, replying, "Sister Gu, when you go back, just say that you were scolded at your family." 。Your in-laws blame you for acting arrogant because of your hefty dowry, not treating your husband's family with respect. So you've taken the initiative to return your dowry to your parents' home for safekeeping and offered to share hardships with your in-laws. 。Even, you should reflect on your past shortcomings. Directly shut yourself in a room for two months and copy Buddhist scriptures to pray for blessings for the whole family. 。Thus, you naturally wouldn't need a steward anymore, nor would you need to use your dowry to make ends meet. 。"After you take care of your body, shouldn't we go out" Xu Xi frowned 。But then Mei Lan spoke up, "Those things won't happen for another two months. By then, even without Gu Sister needing to do anything, her in-laws will all be fawning over her and showering her with silver." 。"I'm still worried if her husband will even come in, wouldn't it be easier to get pregnant" "That's right, that's right!" The Third Princess exclaimed excitedly, "As long as she becomes pregnant, she can use the excuse of being weak from pregnancy and having no energy to manage her dowry or run the household..." 。"Not until the child is born, and then again when they are young, will you need to take care of them."

Xu Xi also seemed to understand, nodding repeatedly. “It would be best if these things were publicized from the start, so everyone praises Elder Sister Gu for being virtuous and capable.” >>> 。“This way, dragging it for three or five years, there are only two results” 。Either Granny's in-laws can no longer hold it together and rip off their mask, revealing their plot to seize Granny's dowry, and be ostracized by everyone. 。Either you cater to Gu Sister your whole family, bending over backwards hoping for her grace in life, 。“houlder, turning her head and walking back.The Dean's long-time attendant stood there with his mouth agape, utterly surprised and speechless.It took him a long while to react, and he hurried after her...
