Chapter 16 Let’s Propose Marriage

Gu Jianguo and Wang Yueju washed up and went to bed. When they heard the laughter coming from their daughter's room, they couldn't help but smile. In fact, the cancellation of the engagement was quite upsetting to them, but now they didn't feel any resentment at all.

No matter how big the problem is, as long as the family is harmonious, it is not a big deal.

"The clothes they gave Yimin were a red and white plaid top and black pants. Try to buy the same ones when you go to town tomorrow. And the meat, we want the hind leg meat. We can't let them complain about this." Wang Yueju whispered to Gu Jianguo.

Gu Jianguo hummed and turned on the light, then heard his wife say again: "The cancellation of the engagement is definitely related to the second brother's family."

Gu Jianguo hummed again. He wasn't stupid. Why had Zhao Fenglan come here to cause trouble? He knew without hesitation that someone was instigating this. But since there was no evidence, and it involved his brother's family, he couldn't accept it.

"The Deng family isn't a good family. It's a good thing they've retired," Gu Jianguo said, holding his wife in his arms. "Whoever wants to jump into that fire pit can do so."

Wang Yueju sighed, "I'm just worried that this will affect our Yimin's reputation and that we won't be able to find a good family in the future."

Gu Jianguo patted her on the back and said, "Yimin, when you get engaged again, you must make sure to find out more. This time, blame me for not finding out more about the Deng family and causing Yimin to suffer."

When he saw the faces of the Deng family today, he felt very guilty. Why didn't he find out that the Deng family was such a family?

"I can't blame you," Wang Yueju consoled her. "Dengjiazhuang is far from us, and we don't know anyone there."

Gu Jianguo hummed again. He was actually worried that the Deng family was behind today's commotion. He wasn't afraid if the Deng family targeted him, but he was worried they might target his daughter. He would tell his sisters tomorrow to be more careful.

Gu Jianguo was worried about the Deng family's revenge, while the four sisters were discussing how to put a sack on someone and beat them.

Just now, when Gu Siqing and Gu Sanjing were playing around, they heard Yimin and Erhui saying that Zhang Shuangping and Zhang Chuntao were doing something bad behind their backs, so Gu Sanjing suggested putting sacks on them and beating them.

It felt so good to beat Gu Xuebin with a sack last time, and she wanted to do it again.

Gu Yimin and Gu Erhui were a little hesitant. After all, they had never done anything like beating anyone. But thinking about Zhang Chuntao and Zhang Shuangping making trouble behind the scenes, they couldn't swallow this anger.

"It's not very realistic to put a sack on Zhang Shuangping," Gu Erhui said. "It's best to do it at night. Zhang Shuangping isn't from our village, so we can't go there and beat her."

"Second Aunt isn't very suitable either," Gu Yimin said. "Even when she goes out at night, she stays in our area. There's no chance at all."

Gu Sanjing was a little discouraged, "I can't beat Erbinzi again."

Gu Siqing thought for a moment and said, "Beat Deng Zhiming." He was the root of the matter, and the first time she saw him after her rebirth, she wanted to beat him.

Gu Yimin and Gu Erhui thought this was a good idea. They had to let out their anger, and Deng Zhiming was the best place to do it. But they had never put a sack on a person before, so they had no idea how to do it.

"Leave this to me," Gu Siqing said confidently, "You just need to cooperate when the time comes."

She decided to call Han Zhengping. She had seen how ruthless the young boy was when fighting. Such a talent must be utilized well.

"What are you going to do?" Gu Erhui pulled Gu Siqing back into her bed. Gu Siqing didn't hide it from them, because they would know it sooner or later anyway.

When Gu Erhui and the others heard that Han Zhengping was being asked for help, they all thought it was unreliable. Gu Erhui even said, "Zhengping is innocent and has such a good temper, how could he get into a fight?"

Gu Siqing sighed. You've all been deceived by his appearance. He's a truly ruthless person. But she didn't say that. Instead, she said, "You'll know when the time comes."

Gu Erhui and Gu Yimin thought it would be okay to call Han Zhengping, as one more person would mean more strength. However, they wouldn't consider the fair-skinned and good-tempered man as the main force.

The dorm talk ended there, but Gu Yimin and Gu Erhui were both thinking about how to practice hitting someone with a sack tomorrow. Although they had never done this before, they were very excited just thinking about it. What should they do?

The next day, after dinner, Gu Jianguo and Wang Yueju rode their bikes to town to do some shopping. The sooner the engagement was broken off, the better.

Gu Yimin and her three younger sisters braided the peeled corn cobs together like braids, and then placed them on the rack specially made by Gu Jianguo for drying corn.

While working, the four sisters were discussing the details of beating people with sacks.

While Zhang Chuntao was eating breakfast, she kept glancing towards the courtyard. She knew about the visitor from the Deng family the previous night. She had even listened in from outside for a while, and after confirming that the two families had been arguing fiercely, she happily returned home.

This time, the Deng family would definitely cancel the engagement. If they did, they would let Deng Zhiming and Shuangping get engaged, and then she would be related to the Deng family. The Deng family had a big brother who worked at the county public security bureau, and she might be able to benefit from that in the future.

Thinking about all this, she slept very well that night and woke up with a smile on her face in the morning.

After dinner, she went to her parents' home. When she met her sisters-in-law Ge Fenglian and Zhang Shuangping, she told them about the Deng family's visit to Gu Jianguo yesterday to cancel the engagement. Then she said, "I think we must strike while the iron is hot. You should quickly propose the engagement to the Deng family."

"We're girls. If we ask someone to go to the boy's family to propose marriage, it won't look good if we tell others about it." Ge Fenglian hesitated. "Why don't we let them know and ask them to come to our house to propose marriage?"

"You guys figure it out. You'll never get it again." Zhang Chuntao thought Ge Fenglian was just being pretentious. Shuangping and Deng Zhiming had been dating before, and who knows what they did. Why was she still arguing with them now? If they dragged it out any longer, such a good marriage might be snatched away by someone else.

Ge Fenglian was still a little hesitant. She wanted to find out more about the Deng family. Her daughter was her own daughter, and she couldn't just marry her off so casually.

But Zhang Shuangping was anxious, "Mom, just send someone to the Deng family to propose marriage."

If she waited any longer, Deng Zhiming might fall in love with someone else. She knew that she was not very good-looking, and Deng Zhiming was a good-looking man. Such a good marriage could not be snatched away by someone else.

Seeing her daughter's anxiety, Ge Fenglian thought about the Deng family's good conditions and agreed, "I will go find a matchmaker and propose marriage to the Deng family now."

As soon as he said this, Zhang Shuangping and Zhang Chuntao both breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Jianguo and Wang Yueju came back after a while and bought everything they needed.

Wang Yueju took out the key, opened the mahogany box on the bedside, and took out a small black cloth bag from it.

Sitting on the bed, she opened the small black cloth bag. Inside was a layer of blue cloth. She opened the blue cloth again, and inside was red cloth. She opened the red cloth again, and inside was a layer of plastic cloth. She opened the plastic cloth again, and inside was a stack of money.
