Every time the matchmaker saw the eldest son of the Gu family, she felt it was a pity that he wasn't married yet, which was a waste of all the girls in the village.

Not only is she good-looking, but she also has a strong and sturdy physique, very powerful. She looks capable, and you'll definitely enjoy a good life after marrying her.

Although Gu Jia has no parents to help him, and few relatives to assist him.

But Gu Chongren is a reliable person.

He's a bit aloof, but he's not like those idle loafers at the village entrance who cheat and slack off when working in the fields.

Everyone in the village knows Gu Jiazi; he's a down-to-earth person.

Moreover, the fact that he raised a younger brother who was like a burden to him, and that he raised his brother so well, making him well-behaved and sensible, also shows that he himself is a responsible person.

Regardless of the Gu family's financial situation, just considering Gu Chong himself, it's no wonder that the girls from these villages all set their sights on him.

Marry her and you'll live a comfortable life.

A while ago, everyone saw that Gu Chong was getting close to that pretty young educated youth at the educated youth settlement. Many girls who had previously been interested in Gu Chong gave up and stopped pursuing him.

However, the rumors and gossip have stopped these past few days, and no one is talking about it anymore. The calm has stirred up some girls' interest again.

So he quickly asked his family to invite a matchmaker to come and talk to them, lest they miss the opportunity again.

The matchmaker sighed inwardly, but her expression became warmer.

The matchmaker, Shen, didn't care that Gu Chong had rejected her matchmaking proposals several times before.

She thought that the reason he rejected her was because Gu Chong had high standards and didn't find anyone suitable.

But with so many girls in the village, there must be one he likes.

As long as Gu Chong can list his standards, she, the matchmaker, guarantees to find him a close and understanding partner.

"Young Master Gu, are you having lunch? I'm so sorry to bother you by coming here." The matchmaker's triangular eyes narrowed into slits as she looked kind and gentle. She chuckled and said, "I won't take up too much of your time. I just wanted to chat with you for a bit."

Gu Chong glanced at her and immediately knew what she was planning.

His expression darkened further, and he interrupted coldly, "Grandma Chen, there's no need to say more. I have no such intention. Don't bother."

"Hey, oh dear!"

Before the matchmaker could even speak, seeing the Gu family's young man's unyielding attitude, she panicked and became furious: "Gu Da, are you really not planning to get married? Don't regret it later, or you'll miss your chance."

The matchmaker continued her incessant chatter, like a wise elder offering advice and guidance.

"It's not that I'm saying anything, but Gu Da, you're not young anymore. You'll be twenty-three at the beginning of the year, you're not young anymore."

"Look at my Tiger, he's already three years old and his child is running all over the place. Don't you want to hold your child and your wife?"

"Don't listen to them who say women rely on their youth for a living. You men have to make a living too. When you're thirty or forty, see which good girl will still want to marry you."

"You've become an old bachelor, how can you face your parents?"

Seeing Gu Chong's face grow darker and colder with each word, the matchmaker felt a pang of unease and her heart tightened.

But thinking of the large referral fees those families had given her, she gritted her teeth and continued talking.

"Just listen to your mother's advice..."

Gu Chong let out a low sigh, remembering that Xue Fu was still at home, and he didn't want to make a big fuss.

His brows were furrowed, his body was icy cold, and he sternly ordered them to leave: "Go."

The matchmaker sighed and quickly took the opportunity to tell him about the girl: "You know the girl from the Li family, right? She's only a junior high school graduate. She can earn eight work points in the fields, and she's very fertile."

"And there's Zhao's little girl, she's fair-skinned, with big eyes, a small mouth, and long, shiny black hair, so pretty... Hey! What are you doing!"

The matchmaker, her cloudy, gray-black eyes wide with shock, saw his movement and cried out in alarm, "Hey! Put it down! Oh dear!"

Just as she was speaking, Gu Chong turned around and went into the house to grab a large broom leaning against the wall. The broom tip was almost touching the old woman's face as he shooed her away in disgust.

Xue Fu was in the yard when she saw him come in to get a broom, and subconsciously took a few steps toward him.

Startled by Gu Chong's actions, the matchmaker screamed at the door, but didn't move an inch.

It was as if they were deliberately making a big fuss to attract other households in the neighborhood to come and watch the excitement.

Xue Fu was already annoyed and angry by her words that were both open and indirect criticism of Gu Chong, and now seeing her disgusting behavior, she frowned even more.

Where do you find matchmaking services that involve such coercion?

Moral blackmail has been used.

Xue Fu glanced at Gu Chong, whose face remained sullen and composed.

Gu Chong looked at her with some trepidation, as if he was afraid that she would be unhappy because of this scene.

This made Xue Fu even angrier.

Xue Fu reached out and pulled Gu Chong back into the courtyard, standing behind her, while she herself walked out the door.

When the matchmaker saw the beautiful girl who suddenly appeared, her wailing stopped abruptly. She stared at Xue Fu for a full three seconds before exclaiming in surprise, "What are you doing here, little girl? Aren't you two single?"

The matchmaker's face turned ugly.

Xue Fu was very polite to her, but her small face turned cold, and her gentle smile disappeared.

"Please don't call him. He has a girlfriend and doesn't need your introduction. Go back to where you came from."

"Stop yelling at the door, as if we've bullied you. Even if you're old, you shouldn't treat people like this."

Xue Fu babbled a few words and then returned in a sarcastic tone.

"If you love matchmaking so much, why don't you matchmake more for yourself?"

She said indignantly.

At the end, Xue Fu reiterated, "I am his girlfriend. You can find another matchmaker; Gu Chong doesn't need one."

Gu Chong, who had been feeling anxious and uneasy, suddenly felt a burst of excitement upon hearing this. His head spun, his breathing became rapid, and his heart pounded with joy.

Hey!

He thought their relationship would have to be kept secret for a while longer.

Only when Xue Fu approves of him and officially recognizes him can he openly talk about it with others.

Is this a case of turning misfortune into blessing?

Gu Chong grinned, raising his lips high in a slant, and put the broom back in his hand.

The matchmaker's face darkened even more after being rebuked like that, and she was completely humiliated. She glared at the two people, especially Gu Chong standing behind Xue Fu, feeling as if she had been tricked by them.

Who told her that these two people weren't dating?

Were the two of them fooling other people?

She's not going to make that money.

Ha... She's never coming to the Gu family gate again; it's such bad luck.

The matchmaker spat, snorted coldly, and finally left, muttering curses as she turned and walked away.

Xue Fu clicked her tongue lightly, and her expression relaxed only after she watched the person walk away.

She turned around and found Gu Chong still standing there, staring at her with a silly grin.

Xue Fu paused for a moment, then realized what he meant and laughed along with him, reaching out to tug at his sleeve.

"What's wrong? You're so dense."

"You're smiling so silly."

Gu Chong is now at her mercy, letting her say whatever she wants.

Call him a fool, an idiot, or a simpleton if you want, he's just happy!

He grinned broadly, showing off his bright white teeth, and then Xue Fu heard him call out in a strong voice, "Wife!"

In an instant, Xue Fu felt a tingling sensation spread from the soles of her feet to her entire body.
