Rebirth: She is Ready for a Counterattack! Chapter 137 - 136: No One Comes to the Temple Without a Reas
Gu Xiaoqing found it most strange that Jiang Caifa could remain so calm about it, after all, she wasn’t his biological daughter.
Gu Xiaoqing thought of that Gu Xiaoi being Jiang Caifa’s child because the timing of the child’s appearance was too suspicious.
However, she couldn’t figure out how the second aunt and second uncle persuaded Jiang Caifa not to reveal this matter.
But soon, Gu Xiaocheng returned ho.
In Gu Xiaoqing’s mind, Gu Xiaocheng’s arrival signified that her family was about to enter a state of preparedness.
No one else knew, but Gu Xiaoqing was well aware that the second aunt’s sche would soon target her own elder sister.
The village was on sumr vacation.
Gu Xiaoqing and her peers were on vacation.
Gu Xiaoqing would go to the town to help with the stall whenever she had ti, spending the rest of her ti at ho studying the third-year junior high courses, which Teacher Fang Nan had already borrowed for her.
As for the competition, Gu Xiaoqing achieved fourth place in the city’s math competition this ti, missing the national competition by just one point.
However, she was lucky enough to gain ten bonus points for the high school entrance exam and received an honorary certificate, with the fourth-place prize being a 500 yuan reward from the city. The county also awarded Gu Xiaoqing with a bicycle.
This was the highest reward.
The villagers were envious at that ti.
They kept eyeing that Feige bicycle for a long ti.
Many adults in the village would ntion Gu Xiaoqing when talking about their own kids.
"Look at how you can’t study like Gu Xiaoqing."
"See, she even managed to win a bicycle."
Gu Xiaoqing almost didn’t dare to go out.
She was happy because she could ride the bicycle to school when the term starts.
Just on the tenth evening of Gu Xiaoqing’s sumr vacation, Gu Ruhai’s house welcod Gu Rushan and Jiang Xiulan.
Gu Xiaoqing had been well aware of this for a while.
This visit was about Gu Xiaocheng’s matter.
All the vigilance, day and night, was just waiting for them to co to the door.
There was no way to guard against it; they had to co first for her father to refuse.
Gu Xiaoqing was confident.
Her family wasn’t like the poor and struggling daughters of the past in Gu Ruhai’s household; the current Gu Ruhai was full of confidence, with money in hand, so surely, Gu Ruhai felt secure.
Gu Ruhai now had four thousand yuan saved up.
That counted as a wealthy family in the village.
Every evening, Gu Ruhai and Li Xuei would be woken up by laughter because the future looked promising.
For the children at ho, Gu Ruhai and Li Xuei had long-term plans; the eldest, Gu Xiaoying, had been held back by the family, missing the chance for education, but now she was at the age of marriage, and Gu Ruhai was intent on compensating his daughter.
The chosen family must have good character, looks, and honesty, and most importantly, no troubleso in-laws; wealth was not a concern.
Because Gu Ruhai had prepared a dowry for Gu Xiaoying.
Three major pieces and five hundred yuan in cash.
This was considered the highest standard for marrying off a daughter in the ten-mile area.
Of course, this was just Gu Ruhai’s thought which hadn’t been implented yet.
Gu Rushan’s arrival was sothing Gu Ruhai was used to; you deal with the situation as it cos.
Deal with it accordingly.
"Big Brother, Sister-in-law, finished tidying up and enjoying the cool breeze, huh."
Jiang Xiulan warmly greeted them and pulled over a bench to sit next to Li Xuei. Talking woman-to-woman was always easier, and after all, marriage matters involve the mother.
This was a woman’s matter.
Gu Ruhai gave a hmph.
Gu Rushan sat next to Gu Ruhai and started chatting about everything under the sun.
Seeing they were having an animated conversation, Jiang Xiulan tugged at Li Xuei and whispered, "Sister-in-law, let’s go inside, I have sothing to tell you."
Li Xuei was pulled into the house.
Gu Xiaoqing automatically went into the inner room; Jiang Xiulan wouldn’t want to speak outside either.
She could hear from the inner room too.
Li Xuei asked as she sat down on the kang bed, "Second Aunt, what’s the matter?"
People like her wouldn’t visit without reason; what good could co to her family?
Jiang Xiulan smiled, "I’m here to tell you so happy news."
"Happy news? What happy news for my family?"
Li Xuei was taken aback.
"Oh, it’s about your Xiaoying’s marriage."
Jiang Xiulan laughed vibrantly, slapping Li Xuei’s hand.
Li Xuei thought to herself, indeed Gu Xiaoying was grown up, already eighteen this year.
It was ti to talk about marriage, and many had been asking recently.
Her family had thought to wait and see, not wanting to let Gu Xiaoying marry if it wasn’t ideal.
"Second Aunt, who has asked you to arrange this proposal?"
If Li Xuei didn’t understand Jiang Xiulan’s aning, she’d be a fool.
Jiang Xiulan looked around, then whispered, "Sister-in-law, this family is good; they value your Xiaoying’s character, seeing she is hardworking and honest, so they asked to co. It’s soone who eats a governnt al, you see."
These are the good points first, never ntioning the shortcomings.
Gu Xiaoqing cursed in her heart, why don’t you ntion the age, or what kind of person it is?
Soone nearly fifty, wanting to marry my eighteen-year-old sister, a cripple wanting to marry a decent girl.
It’s not that Gu Xiaoqing looked down on people with disabilities but despised those who flaunted their disability to gain advantages, thinking they could bully others.
That poisonous mother of Feng Quezi, who wanted her sister to be subservient all her life, was evil, treating Gu Xiaoying like cattle only to work but not feed well.
She and her son ate lavishly, using her sister as a beast of burden.
This kind of life was unrealistic, just a pipe dream.
Li Xuei was rather curious, who wouldn’t want their daughter to have a good prospect, find a good family?
Finding a family with governnt employnt was considered good, as long as the character was good, the person looked decent, Li Xuei wouldn’t mind if Jiang Xiulan arranged it as a matchmaker.
One could just give more to the matchmaker as a thank-you.
Her family wasn’t short on cash.
"Which family is it?"
Jiang Xiulan smiled, "It’s Feng Yuejin, the son of Feng Dachang in the town, their only son, the family only has one old lady, no father-in-law, no sisters-in-law. Xiaoying would take over once married. It truly is a prominent family."
Hearing this, Li Xuei was sowhat moved, from what she heard, it sounded good.
The family had a simple setup, aning fewer future petty issues.
Indeed considered a good family.
Li Xuei hesitated, asking, "How old is Feng Yuejin?"
If the age matched, Li Xuei was curious, why couldn’t such a family find a wife?
Every mother needs to ponder carefully. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welco to co to Qidian (qidian) to cast recomndation votes and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users please go to m.qidian to read.)
