Chapter 465: Chapter 465 Crowds Have More Power Chapter 465: Chapter 465 Crowds Have More Power The Wan family saw Wan Da’an beaten and couldn’t easily let this go. The Wan family was about to move on Gu Ya again, and as they were about to start fighting, Gu Jianghai, who heard the commotion from the village entrance, returned. Not only did Gu Jianghai return, but he also brought back all twenty-some men who were helping Su Yunjin and the others with construction.
“Lao Wu, you’re back!” Mrs. An’s face brightened at the sight of Gu Jianghai, and Su Yunjin was also very happy to see her younger brother, Gu Jianghai.
Especially because Gu Jianghai brought so many people with him, Su Yunjin was even more excited. No matter what, Gu Ya’s leg injuries had just healed not long ago, and Su Yunjin was afraid that Gu Ya couldn’t handle the entire Wan Family on his own. As for Gu Baofu, Su Yunjin didn’t count on him; he had been standing aside the whole time without any intention of helping. Gu Tiezhu and Mrs. Han were not at home either.
There was no one to help Gu Ya.
But now that Gu Jianghai had returned, there were people to support Gu Ya. The Wan family had been relying on their numerical advantage and were about to take action, but seeing Gu Jianghai return, they got cold feet.
They didn’t dare to rush forward and assault Gu Ya. Mrs. Zhang, the sister-in-law, now stepped out to play the peacemaker, first trying to calm both sides and then plotting to persuade her mother-in-law, Mrs. An, to persuade Gu Ya to marry Wan Ruyan.
“Ah, we are all family, why should we resort to fighting? Let’s sit down and talk! Don’t fight and ruin our good relations,” she pleaded, disguising her concern for Gu Ya with a skin-deep smile.
“Third Brother, look at Miss Wan’s deep affection for you. After such an incident, which no one expected, consider that Miss Wan ruined her reputation for your sake. Why not marry her? This way, our Gu Family and the Wan Family can be related by marriage again, wouldn’t that make everyone happy?”
Upon hearing Mrs. Zhang’s words,
The Wan family’s faces somewhat improved. “Hmph, the elder sister-in-law of the Gu family knows better! Today, if the Gu family’s third child agrees to marry Yanyan, our two families remain relatives and on good terms!”
Gu Ya sneered, his contempt making the Wan family’s faces fill with dissatisfaction. “What do you mean by that laugh, Mr. Gu? Our Wan family has repeatedly shown forbearance towards you today! Don’t push your luck!”
Mrs. Zhang again attempted to play the good Samaritan and mediate the situation.
“Third Brother, don’t be ignorant. Isn’t Miss Yanyan quite nice? Marrying her wouldn’t be a loss for you! Other people would beg for such a good match!”
Mrs. An was plotting.
She hoped this would break up Su Yunjin and Gu Ya. If they couldn’t be split up, having Gu Ya take Wan Ruyan as a wife would also serve well to alleviate her resentment.
Gu Ya turned to Mrs. Zhang with a question that dumbfounded her, “Big Sister-in-law, since Miss Yanyan is so nice, why don’t you let Miss Wan marry your son? If Miss Wan were to marry your elder nephew, it would be the same as marrying into our Gu family–a relationship just as close!”
Mrs. Zhang’s face stiffened.
How dare he suggest her son marry Wan Ruyan?
Who would want that tarnished woman, Wan Ruyan?
She’s only good enough for Gu Ya!
How could she possibly be good enough for her son?
“Besides, my elder nephew isn’t married, and he was the one who tarnished Miss Wan’s reputation. If we really want to talk about suitability, my elder nephew is far more fit to marry Miss Wan than I am!”
Gu Ya’s remark almost ground Mrs. Zhang’s gums to bits.
