It was true. More than ten years ago, they had not agreed to the marriage between Zhang Xiaohui and Gu Yunshen.
The Gu family used to be a wealthy family, but they had fallen on hard times. However, they retained their learning and culture, which had been carefully cultivated in them since young.
Zhang Xiaohui's family were all wastrels. They were greedy and lazy and had no virtues to speak of. Why would the Gu family agree to a marriage with a family like that?
But they had no choice. In these times, the Gu family was as lowly as dirt. Zhang Xiaohui had set her sights on them and if they continued to refuse, they would certainly get into trouble.
No one cared about giving the Gu family justice. The Gu family had no choice but to go along with whatever happened, for good or ill.
If Gu Yunshen had not been concerned for his parents' safety, he would also have refused to marry Zhang Xiaohui.
