Chapter 117 Formal Proposal

Yu Xiaofang said cheerfully to Zhao Liya and the others, "Thank goodness you're here, otherwise we wouldn't know what to do! My brother is tongue-tied and can't speak, and I can't argue with that old woman."

Lin Mo glanced at him and didn't refute.

Zhao Liya laughed and waved her hand, "We're all friends. We should help each other. You should be more careful. The Qi family is fine, but don't let the Gu family take advantage of this opportunity to stir up trouble."

No matter what, Qi's ability to make a scene is limited. Although it is a bit troublesome, it is actually harmless and will not cause much substantial damage.

But the Gu family is different.

Who knows if they will exploit this issue and stir up trouble? That would be the most troublesome thing.

Lin Mo and Yu Xiaofang were both shocked after hearing this.

Yu Xiaofang nodded. "If it weren't for you, Xiaoya, we wouldn't have thought of this for a while! The Gu family is truly annoying. Taking advantage of an issue and stirring up trouble seems like something they'd be capable of."

Zhao Liya: "Anyway, as long as you know what's going on."

After Zhao Liya and the others left, Yu Xiaofang stretched and yawned loudly. He was about to say hello to his brother and go back to sleep, but he saw his brother was about to go out. Yu Xiaofang was startled: "Brother, where are you going?"

Lin Mo glanced at him and said, "I'm going to the Gu family."

"ah?"

Yu Xiaofang didn’t quite understand.

Lin Mo: "If the Gu family really wants to stir up trouble, it will be hard to defend against them. It's better to nip it in the bud."

He would warn Boss Gu that it was better to live a miserable life than to die a good death, right? If he dared to stir up trouble behind the scenes again, he would sneak over at night and break his neck.

Anyway, he was a disabled person, so even if he died, people would only suspect that it was a relapse of his old illness.

Yu Xiaofang suddenly understood and said with a smile, "What a good idea! Brother, you finally got it, hahaha!"

Xiaoya was absolutely right. Why bother trying to reason with a top-tier talent? Why not just go for it? They'd fall for it anyway!

Once this pattern is opened up, everything is really different.

Lin Mo: "Go to sleep quickly!"

As he spoke, he had already walked out the door.

The next morning, Lin Mo and Yu Xiaofang went to Zhao's house for breakfast again. After breakfast, Lin Mo asked Zhao Xiang and Deng for permission to build a house next to theirs.

They are next to each other and share a common courtyard wall. A door in the wall allows for convenient communication between the two families.

He also proposed marriage to the Zhao family, planning to wait until the house was built and the weather was a little warmer after the New Year to marry Luo Shuyan.

Deng asked Luo Shuyan what she thought and she nodded in agreement.

Deng originally thought that the Lin Mo cousins ​​had helped her family so much. Although Luo Shuyan was "bought", she was so hardworking after coming to her home. She rushed to do all the work and her cooking skills were so good that people didn't know how to like her. So she thought about returning Luo Shuyan's indenture contract to them.

There is no need to mention the money for redemption.

But Zhao Liya tried to persuade them, not her own mother, but Lin Mo and Luo Shuyan. She could give them the indentures, but they should not tell anyone.

Luo Shuyan's indenture was in the Zhao family, so Uncle Luo and Madam Qi had no say in the matter. They had no right to interfere in the affairs of the Zhao family's "maid." If the news of Luo Shuyan's restoration as a free woman spread, the Luo couple might start harassing her again.

Lin Mo and Luo Shuyan both agreed with this.

Moreover, Luo Shuyan insisted on not selling her indentures and insisted on staying in the Zhao family.

The Zhao family saved her, and she learned to repay the favor.

Besides, in her current state, what difference would it make whether she wanted the indenture contract or not? It would be better not to have it, and she would feel more at ease.

Lin Mo also supported her approach.

So the matter was put aside again.

The news that Lin Mo was going to move and would hire a matchmaker to propose marriage to Luo Shuyan in the next two days spread throughout Yan Village through Widow Qu and Aunt Li Shiyi that day.

Everyone congratulated him, saying that Luo Shuyan had finally gotten her wish after all the hardship she had endured. She would have no worries about not having a happy life after getting married.

Thinking of those disgusting words Qi said last night, he couldn't help but step on Qi a few more times.

This is called retribution in this life!

There was also someone who just wanted to enjoy the fun and not be afraid of trouble. He specially ran to Luo's house and told Qi the good news with a smile, which made Qi so angry that her face turned black on the spot.

The visitors left satisfied.

Qi was almost going crazy, but the fear of being surrounded and despised by so many people last night was too great, so she didn't dare to go out and curse, and could only vent her anger at home.

As usual, Boss Luo lay down on the tattered bed, closed his eyes and pretended to be dead.

As long as he is not hit, he will pretend that he heard nothing and will not care even if the sky falls.

Luo Shuyu was sad and hid in the house crying quietly.

This was a deliberate slap in her face! How on earth was she inferior to Luo Shuyan?

Anyway, if anyone says that she is not as good as Luo Shuyan, she will never admit it.

It must be that she is too outstanding and there are too many people who are jealous of her, so they say this on purpose to belittle her.

Luo Shuyu cried so hard that she ran to Zhao's house. She wanted to see Luo Shuyan and ask her everything in person.

Although she didn't know what she should ask Luo Shuyan.

Unfortunately, Luo Shuyan is not at home.

Zhao Liya and the others are so busy making sugar that they have to go over and check on it every day for a while.

Luo Shuyan, Qu Yutao, Lin Mo, and Yu Xiaofang also followed.

There were only Mrs. Deng, her two children, Aunt Li Shiyi, and Widow Qu at home.

Mrs. Deng is not good at dealing with people like Luo Shuyu, but Widow Qu and Aunt Li Shiyi are.

The two men calmly blocked Luo Shuyu outside the yard. Seeing that she had no intention of leaving, they took a small stool from the house and went out. There was nothing wrong with sitting outside the yard and chatting.

Anyway, she couldn't be allowed into the yard or the house. Otherwise, who knows what that crazy Qi would come up with next.

Luo Shuyu was young after all, how could she be a match for women like Widow Qu and Aunt Li Shiyi? In just a few words, Widow Qu and Aunt Li Shiyi coaxed her into telling him everything.

Widow Qu and Aunt Li Shiyi exchanged glances quietly and were speechless.

This person is indeed a daughter raised by the Qi family. Where on earth did she get the courage to compete with Shu Yan? She is not even worthy of carrying Shu Yan's shoes!

He actually wanted to question why Shu Yan, a mere maid, had the shamelessness to marry Lin Mo? Why did she let Lin Mo suffer?

Lin Mo is very happy about this! Is it her business?

The two of them had to use both soft and hard tactics to persuade him. If a girl asked this question herself, it would be too cheap. She would be considered as a person without moral integrity and be laughed at and despised by the world.

So, she should just give up! This marriage has nothing to do with her anyway. How could Lin Mo be willing to become a relative of the Qi family?
