Divine Doctor, Sweet Wife

Chapter 236: Gu Yunshuang: Although I Beat You, I Was Good To You! (3)

Gu Jinye pursed his lips but did not say anything.

Gu Qingyao continued. “But things are different now. Eldest Uncle and you have plans to leave. You have neither failed nor are you forced to leave. You are just lying low and retreating temporarily.

“Your two younger brothers have returned home in advance. Here, we and your grandparents will take good care of them. Even if you are elsewhere, you will not have so many burdens. Isn’t that true?

“Now all of you can still be together. You will be with Eldest Aunt and Uncle and you don’t have to worry about us! And as for my sister-in-law-to-be, Elder Brother, don’t you think that’s it’s better that the match fell through? I somehow feel that your luck will turn!”

Gu Jinlin was shocked!

Gu Qingyao smiled rather craftily. She narrowed her eyes like a little fox. “Think about it, Elder Brother. The girl ran away even before your circumstances took a turn for the worse. How can she share a life with you? You’re the eldest grandson in the family. In the future, many family matters will depend on you. If the eldest granddaughter-in-law of the Gu family is such an unreliable person, then it will be our family’s misfortune!

“Even if you’re demoted now, what of it? Considering your age, you’ll probably find your future wife while you’re demoted. Think about it, Elder Brother, what kind of girls are demoted?”

Gu Jinye was bewildered. He did not understand what Gu Qingyao was saying.

What kind of girls were demoted?

Gu Qingyao laughed. “In these times, only two types of people are doing well. The first are those who are especially sly and opportunistic. How many such people are there? Very few!

“The other type are those who have risen to power the fastest. They are the kind that create rumors, harm others, and disown their own relatives. I guess that the girl you were matched with has family members like that. Do you really want to marry someone like that?

“But the girls who have been demoted are different. Most of them come from families that used to be important. They might be from a scholarly family, or the family elders are experts, scholars or teachers. Such people have a wealth of knowledge and are well brought up. Their girls will certainly be well brought up.

“Elder Brother, perhaps after you leave, you might meet a young lady from a formerly important family. She will be cultured and educated, beautiful and gracious, and able to share both wealth and woe with you!”

Gu Jinye: “...”

He had not expected his younger cousin to say such things to him. But... when he thought about it, it seemed quite reasonable?

Gu Qingyao raised her brows and looked at him. “Have I said anything wrong? Look at you. Our Gu Family used to be such a powerful family. You are the eldest grandson of the Gu family. Even now, our uncles are all in high positions and your family is not doing too poorly, is it? Aren’t you just being demoted to do farming work?

“When you get there, you might meet a girl who is also from an important family. She might be very well brought up, but just rather unfortunate? After a few years, these abnormal times will pass. Then you will be the winner!”

“Re-really?” Gu Jinye was rather stunned.

“Of course!” Gu Qingyao said with certainty. “Elder Brother, let me tell you. In the past, these girls from important families were all pampered and spoiled, and had high expectations. Now they have fallen on hard times, but they have not yet lost their sense of aesthetics. They certainly will not marry an illiterate farmer with whom they have nothing in common. It’s not that they look down on them, but that they really have nothing to say to them.

“These girls will like someone like you!”
