Gu’s mother thought her son-in-law was just joking to please her, considering what kind of person her son-in-law was and the size of the house he lived in. Did he really need to squeeze in with her with a child?
Gu’s father was not like Gu’s mother and did not know the whole story. He thought the man sounded like a loser who wanted to move in with his in-laws because he couldn’t afford a place of his own. Wouldn’t that be a laughingstock? Moreover, what did he mean by that?
They weren’t even married, what child?
Gu’s father blurted out, facing Yebai and his daughter, "Young people, full of vigor and prone to impulsiveness, but having children, according to our old Chinese traditions, must follow proper marriage. —Nuannuan, you weren’t before."
Of course, Gu Nuan wouldn’t be like that anymore. She was a bit stunned after hearing her father’s words. Hadn’t she married Yebai?
Seeing his wife being scolded by her father, Yebai naturally felt even more distressed and blurted out like Gu’s father, "Dad, Nuannuan and I are properly married, rest assured, I will only have Nuannuan for my whole life." Official source ıs 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩•𝗳𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝕟𝕖𝕥
Gu’s father put down his chopsticks, thinking how stubborn this young man was. Clearly, he hadn’t married her, hadn’t even asked for his permission to marry his daughter, yet he felt like he had already married her?
"What do you mean properly married? When did you marry properly?"
When Gu’s father asked this, Yebai seriously replied, "Dad, Nuannuan and I got married two months ago. I can recite the wedding date by heart."
"Wait, you said you two got married two months ago?"
Gu’s father was stunned.
Gu Nuan and Yebai then realized something and turned to look at Gu’s mother.
Gu’s mother had no choice but to tell her daughter and son-in-law, "Your dad didn’t know."
His wife’s words made it clear, and Gu’s father realized that the young man had been telling the truth.
For a moment, Gu’s father felt as if a thunderbolt had struck his head, a barrage of lightning exploding, his hair standing on end, followed by gathering storm clouds. To others, Gu’s father suddenly seemed like a ticking bomb.
Everyone instinctively shrank their necks.
Gu’s father slammed the table and stood up, shouting at everyone, "What? Everyone knew but I didn’t?"
Gu’s mother suddenly realized her mistake for not preparing her husband at all, quickly trying to soothe him, "Isn’t this why I’m telling you now? What are you doing, sit down, there are guests."
But Gu’s father obviously ignored Zhang Sanfeng, his eyes fixed solely on Yebai, the young man who had taken his daughter, and pointed at Yebai’s nose, shouting, "You deceived my daughter without my consent, who do you think you are?"
Gu Nuan slightly opened her mouth. What did her father mean? What did he mean by deceiving her?
In Gu’s father’s mind, anyone who wanted to marry his daughter was obviously deceiving her. As a man who had dated before, Gu’s father knew very well, men woo women, marry wives, all through trickery. Otherwise, how could you get a woman to willingly come home with you, cook and do the dishes for you every day, wash your clothes, and bear your children, practically giving her whole life to this man?
Gu’s father was furiously infuriated, almost reaching out to grab Yebai’s shirt, yelling, "You better explain yourself clearly, explain yourself! I’m telling you, I do not allow it, I do not agree!"
Indeed, when a person is angered, words may not pass through their brain.
Gu’s mother frowned, aware that the dinner table still hosted a guest brought by her son-in-law. Although Zhang Sanfeng was well-mannered, facing this sudden family dispute, he acted as if nothing had happened, adhering to the principle that silence is golden, simply eating his meal quietly.
