A massive misunderstanding thus came to a perfect end. However, a random issue arose as a result: Gu Daya had seen her brother-in-law completely bare. After all, at twelve years old, the young girl was already at the age for marriage. Who would dare to marry Gu Daya from now on?
The gossipy aunts and matrons in the clan let these remarks slip where the mother-in-law could hear them, driving the poor woman to distraction.
Yet Gu Daya declared that she had no intention of marrying anyway. As long as she had food and drink, that was enough; getting married only meant suffering. Now she had mastered two or three skills and had no worries about finding meals. If worst came to worst, she could simply have her brother-in-law teach her a couple more tricks. In the future, she would be fully capable of supporting herself—marriage was far too much trouble.
