Chapter 147 I recognize my husband as my elder brother 7
Gu Chengyuan spoke righteously, as if he was really the long-lost brother of the original owner Liu Muyao.
But will the village chief believe it?
Of course not. He firmly believed that Gu Chengyuan was a swindler from another village who wanted to take advantage of Yao's youth and ignorance to cheat her of her money.
So the village chief said, "You little rascal, I've seen your tricks many times, don't try to deceive us. Yao has lived in our village since she was a child. She has no parents. Her uncle passed away a few days ago, leaving her all alone. Which liar from a corner wants to claim to be a relative here?"
Then he looked at Si Ying again, put on a hypocritical smile, and said, "Yao girl, I know you feel helpless, so you believed a random man pretending to be your relative. Silly child, since you came to our village and have lived here for almost ten years, you are a member of our village. I, the village chief, am your relative."
Then he pulled his son who was standing stupidly by the side watching the fun, and continued to say to Si Ying, "Your brother Erbao is also your relative. You grew up together, and he is also your brother. In terms of closeness, he is much closer than this wild boy who came from nowhere!"
"Hehehe, that's right, Sister Yao'er is also my biological sister." Wang Erbao agreed foolishly. As soon as he said this, his biological father, the village chief, was furious. The village chief cursed in his heart, what a useless and stupid son. His purpose was obviously to bring Si Ying closer to his stupid son. Who made them treat them as siblings?
He was really impressed by his son, this stupid teammate of his. Erbao had been stupid since he was young, unlike his elder brother who inherited the village chief's shrewdness and married the daughter of the richest farmer in the neighboring village early on. Only the honest and simple Wang Erbao had no girl willing to marry him until now.
The village chief wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Gu Chengyuan, "Village chief, you brought the matchmaker and your son with you." He looked at the two people's hands again, "and the pair of things. This person just passed away not long ago. What are you doing here with these things wrapped in red cloth? It's too disrespectful to the deceased!"
What was wrapped in the red cloth was naturally the betrothal gift. The village chief had come here intending to arrange the marriage in one go, but who knew that such a sharp-tongued stranger would suddenly appear.
The village chief didn't know how to explain it for a moment, but he was reluctant to give up. After all, Uncle Ming's spacious and bright wooden house was the only one in the village, and it stood out among the thatched houses and mud houses. He had long wanted to live in it. As long as his son married Liu Muyao, all of these would be his.
Thinking of this, the village chief decided to ignore Gu Chengyuan who had been arguing with him, and turned to play the emotional card with Si Ying who had been silent.
"Yao girl, I have watched you grow up, you poor little girl. I, the village chief, also know that you have no relatives. It is dangerous for a little girl to live alone. If you are not careful, you will encounter scammers."
At this point, the village chief glanced at Gu Chengyuan beside him with a meaningful look, and then continued, "So uncle, I am doing this for your own good. I also want to protect you and not let you get bullied. There must be a reason for the relationship, right? Look at your brother Erbao in our family. We have been childhood sweethearts since we were young, so we are a perfect match. If you marry into our family, your aunt, your brother Erbao and I can all take care of you and protect you from being bullied by anyone."
The village chief's words can be said to have grasped the mind of a helpless orphan, but Si Ying is not a poor thirteen-year-old girl, so the village chief's words can be said to be so much, which can only highlight his hypocrisy and greed. Si Ying expressed indifference to anything else.
So Si Ying frowned and said, "It's too early for the village chief to say these things. Uncle Ming has been dead for less than a month, and I don't have the energy to think about those things. Besides, now that I have found my brother, everything will naturally be decided by my brother."
After saying that, Si Ying silently hid behind Gu Chengyuan. Gu Chengyuan also straightened his back, as if to protect himself from the wind and rain.
The village chief was immediately displeased when he saw Si Ying handing over the right to speak to this liar whom he had never met before. He took off the disguise of kindness and concern on his face and said coldly, "Yao girl, you are still young, don't believe anything anyone says. This man is simply a liar who came from nowhere. He can't be your brother. I have never heard your uncle Ming say that you have a brother."
He looked at Gu Chengyuan who was standing straight, and scolded, "Get out of here, you liar! Don't even think about deceiving Yao girl, or I'll take you to see the official."
Gu Chengyuan, it’s so funny, how could he, the eldest son of the Duke’s Mansion, be afraid?
Naturally, the village chief would not really take Gu Chengyuan to see the official. Not to mention whether Gu Chengyuan was afraid or not, the village chief himself was so scared when he saw the official that he couldn't speak clearly, so he thought Gu Chengyuan would be afraid too.
As a result, the other party acted like "come on, let's go". The village chief was furious. Before he could say anything else, he saw Si Ying go into the house and gave all the say to Gu Chengyuan.
Gu Chengyuan's attitude was very clear. He did not agree with this marriage. He kept saying over and over again that your son is too stupid and is not worthy of my sister.
The village chief couldn't convince Gu Chengyuan, nor could he take him to the government office. In the end, he could only throw his sleeves and leave in anger.
Gu Chengyuan smiled like a winner.
Turning around and walking into the house, Si Ying sat there, waiting for him to come back, and then asked, "Are you really my biological brother? Then what's going on? Why don't I live in our home anymore, but wander around with Uncle Ming and come here?"
Looking at the slightly red eyes of the girl in front of him, Gu Chengyuan lowered his head, feeling a little regretful. Then he thought quickly in his brain about what to say.
Soon he combined the stories he had heard from the storytellers in the tavern with these anecdotes and said, "Yao'er, actually when you were little, you got lost in an accident and were adopted by your current uncle. We have been looking for you for so many years and finally found you. We have agreed on a date with your adopted uncle, and I will come to take you home."
Si Ying asked Tuanzi in her heart, "Is he trying to trick me into thinking that I don't have much education? He can come up with such a common excuse."
Tuan Tuan: "Sir, now is the time to test your acting skills. You should cooperate with him in the performance, hahahaha"
Si Ying...
"Then what is my real identity? Do my father and mother miss me?" Si Ying asked with a puzzled look.
"Of course they all miss you. You are the second daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, and I am your eldest brother, Gu Chengyuan."
Si Ying looked at him quietly for a while, then said happily, "That's great, my brother finally found me. From today on, you are my biological brother, and I have parents again!"
Si Ying showed the innocence and joy of a girl, and Gu Chengyuan, who was standing by, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
