266 Aunt Fu

"You, are you the previous daughter of Gu Shan's family, Gu Xiao?" A hesitant voice sounded in front of Gu Xiao.

Gu Xiao raised her eyes slightly and looked over. When she saw who it was, the coldness in her eyes softened a little.

She nodded slightly at the woman. "Aunt Fu, I'm the previous daughter of the Gu family, Gu Xiao."

After receiving Gu Xiao's answer, Aunt Fu looked at Gu Xiao, who had changed a lot, in shock. She sized her up from head to toe, and her tone was a little uncertain. "Xiaoxiao! It's really you! I haven't seen you for two years, but you've changed too much. I almost couldn't recognize you."

As she spoke, her gaze landed on Chu An. "This child is?"

"Aunt Fu, this is my boyfriend, Chu An." Gu Xiao introduced him to Aunt Fu with a natural expression.

Aunt Fu looked at Chu An, then at the hand that was intertwined with Gu Xiao's, and a trace of a smile flashed across her eyes.

"So he's Xiaoxiao's boyfriend. He looks very talented. He's really not bad," Aunt Fu praised.

Gu Xiao squeezed Chu An's fingers, and Chu An nodded at Aunt Fu. "Aunt Fu."

Seeing that Chu An was so polite, the smile on Aunt Fu's face deepened. She looked at Gu Xiao with some affection.

"Xiaoxiao, you must be tired after coming back on such a hot day! Let's go! Let's go to Aunt Fu's house to rest! Coincidentally, your Uncle Li brought back a watermelon yesterday. It's still frozen in the fridge!"

When Gu Xiao heard this, she shook her head at Aunt Fu.

"There's no need, Aunt Fu. I came back to see the situation at home. Also, Ji Yao's situation."

As soon as these words were spoken, Aunt Fu's expression turned a little ugly. The other villagers, who had originally seen that Gu Xiao seemed to have become more capable and wanted to get close to her, immediately froze when they heard Ji Yao's name.

Gu Xiao looked at everyone's reaction and felt a little suspicious, but she did not show it on her face.

Just as Gu Xiao was about to ask, Aunt Fu revealed a look of disdain and disgust.

"That Ji Yao! After she returned to the village, she couldn't stand the hardship and kept having ambiguous relations with the young men in the village. She let those men do this and that for her! She made the men in the village jealous for her sake, and the village was not peaceful either!"

"Later on, after she got together with your Uncle Zhang's son, she completely cut ties with the men in the village. Otherwise! I wonder what she will do to our village!"

As Aunt Fu spoke, she seemed to still feel that it was not enough to vent her anger, and spat fiercely.

When the surrounding villagers saw this, they hurriedly said, "That's right. That woman is not obedient! Fortunately, she married into Old Zhang's family and left. Otherwise…"

"Old Zhang's life is also bitter. A good son meets such a woman. For such a woman, he has even abandoned his parents. What kind of human is this!"

"That's right! I'm so angry. This kind of person shouldn't have come back!"

"The last time I went to town, I saw Old Zhang's son and Ji Yao. That Ji Yao is already pregnant!"

Hearing the villagers' words, Chu An's eyes widened slightly.

Although there were many women who got married at the age of 15 or 16 in his world, after coming to this world, he knew that women shouldn't get married so early. There were even laws.

As he listened, he couldn't help but say, "Isn't she only 18 years old this year? Why is she married and pregnant?"

According to the people in the village, didn't that mean Ji Yao was pregnant at the age of 17? Pregnant while she was underage?

Gu Xiao knew that even in the modern era, many children in the countryside would get married earlier.

She turned to look at Chu An and explained to him, "In the village, if you're not old enough to get married, just a banquet would just be held and you'll be considered married. You can register your marriage when you're old enough."

In fact, there were even cases where they did not register their marriage in the end. She did not find it strange as she had seen it happen before.

When Chu An heard Gu Xiao's explanation, he was momentarily dazed.

It seems like he still doesn't know enough about some things in this world! Chu An sighed inwardly.

"Yes, everyone in the village has been through this. It's not a big deal," someone explained when he saw Chu An's expression darken slightly.

"That's right. An 18-year-old is already considered a big girl. She can get married and have children," a woman teased.

Gu Xiao ignored those people and nodded at Aunt Fu. "Aunt Fu, I'll go home first."
