Chapter 172 My requirements are not high

Gu Jiayue looked bewildered, her eyes filled with confusion. "It's my business if I don't marry. It has no impact on them."

Grandma leaned forward slightly, her hands folded on her knees. With a serious and earnest look, she said, "There's a hierarchy of seniority. If the elder doesn't get married, it won't be the younger's turn! As long as you don't get married, your sister won't be able to see other people, and your brother won't be able to marry."

Grandma's eyes were full of worry, and the wrinkles on her face seemed deeper.

Chen sat beside them and nodded gently. She turned slightly to face Gu Jiayue, a kind smile on her face, and said gently: "You are still young. When you are old, you will know how good it is to have someone who understands you."

My aunt and mother, who were cooking in the kitchen, also came out.

Their hands were still stained with flour, their aprons were stained with oil, and beads of sweat were oozing from their foreheads. But they didn't care about these things at the moment, and gathered around with concerned faces.

The eldest aunt spoke first, with a gentle smile on her face, "Yes, Jiayue, you are old enough. It's time to think about your lifelong affairs."

Second Aunt also quickly agreed, "Look, you're busy like a top all day long. If someone could share some of the work with you, you wouldn't be so tired."

Everyone was talking at once, the noise rising and falling so loudly that it gave Gu Jiayue a headache.

She just felt her head was in a mess, as if countless bees were buzzing.

She took a deep breath and looked at her grandmother again, with a hint of final expectation in her eyes, and asked, "No room for negotiation?"

She still held out a glimmer of hope.

Grandma looked determined, shook her head without hesitation, and said firmly: "No."

Gu Jiayue's heart sank, knowing that she alone could not change her grandmother's mind, nor could she shake this instinct that had been passed down for thousands of years.

Yes, Gu Jiayue felt that urging marriage was human instinct, and it would be triggered at a certain time, no matter if that person was your parents or someone unimportant.

As long as you reach that age, everyone who sees you will ask, "Do you have a boyfriend?" or "When are you getting married?" "Oh, you can get married at your age. It's perfect for having kids."

Even the principal, who didn't get along with her, wanted to introduce her to someone.

This is the fate of young people, there is no way to escape it. So Gu Jiayue could only nod her head resignedly. "Okay, sure. But I have a few conditions."

Seeing Gu Jiayue give in, the noisy crowd instantly quieted down and all looked at her.

Grandma's frown instantly relaxed, her face lit up with a smile, her eyes narrowed into slits, and she quickly said, "Go ahead."

"I'm looking for someone who's over 25 years old, doesn't have any concubines, is well-educated, well-mannered, can accept me running a school, and is willing to live in Taohua Village after we get married. Oh, and she can't be too ugly." Gu Jiayue stated her conditions in one breath.

She thought to herself, since I have to get married, I might as well get married.

But you can't just marry casually.

She really couldn't bring herself to do that to a 17 or 18-year-old boy. Twenty-five was her limit. Too young, she really felt like she was committing a crime.

In addition to this, the most important thing is that there will be no restrictions on her running a school.

Just kidding, this involves the question of how long she can live.

If she marries anyone casually, and he turns out to be an old-fashioned person who demands that she never go out of the house, how will she live?

"Grandma, Grandma Chen, please find me one according to this standard. Once you find one, bring him here so I can see him in person. Then we can get along well. If there is no problem, we can choose a date for the wedding." She said this seriously, but saw that the whole family was looking at her as if she were a monster.

Everyone's eyes widened and their mouths opened slightly, as if they had heard something incredible.

The smile on grandma's face disappeared instantly, replaced by a look of helplessness and anger. She rolled her eyes at Gu Jiayue and said unhappily, "What are you thinking?"

Where can I find such a good man?

Gu Jiayue was helpless. Why didn't anyone believe her when she told the truth? "Grandma, everything I said is true. This is the husband I really want to find. If I can't find someone like him, I won't marry."

Her tone was firm, and there was a hint of stubbornness in her eyes.

"You guys take your time looking for one, I'm not in a hurry. But I can't delay Xi Que's marriage, so let's do this, I'm willing to let Xi Que be her elder sister and I'll be her younger sister. Anyway, there's only a one or two month difference in age between us, and outsiders can't tell." Gu Jiayue continued.

"Gu Jiayue, are you deliberately trying to piss me off here?" Grandma's face flushed red, and her hands trembled slightly. It was obvious that she was very angry about what Gu Jiayue said.

This granddaughter is good in every way except that she is too opinionated.

She is so insightful, as if she understands everything in this world.

He is more tactful than the average adult in dealing with people, and his vision and insights are very unique.

Sometimes grandma feels that the person talking to her is not a little girl, but an old man who has experienced many hardships like her.

This feeling was strange, and shouldn't have occurred to a sixteen-year-old girl. Yet, she magically existed.

She couldn't figure this out, and could only attribute it to the fact that the incident of the real and fake daughter made her grow up instantly.

Since she arrived in Taohua Village, she has been busy like a top. During the day, she teaches children to read and write. At night, she studies and prepares lessons. She also has to find time to think about how to make money. Occasionally, she also helps the village chief solve problems in the village.

If you say she did it for money, then the money she spent on these things may be something she will never get back in this lifetime.

If she wanted to be famous, she wouldn't bring many things to light. She would do them secretly or have others do them. She would hide behind the scenes.

She couldn't understand Gu Jiayue, but that didn't stop her from feeling sorry for her granddaughter.

But she was an old woman from the countryside, with no money and no ability to contribute. The only thing she could do was to find her a match. So she asked the eldest daughter-in-law to invite her mother over.

The family that her in-laws mentioned just now is already the best, but she is still not satisfied.

She even said she wanted to find someone over 25. A 16-year-old girl looking for a 25-year-old husband? Looking for someone to be her father?

Besides, where could she find a 25-year-old unmarried man?

Gu Jiayue looked at her grandmother's angry expression, sweat on her forehead. She secretly complained in her heart, why is this grandmother angry again? "Grandma, I'm telling the truth. Anyway, the conditions are here, you guys hurry up and find them for me."

"You..." Grandma was about to say something, but Grandma Chen quickly grabbed her hand and gave her a wink.

Grandma was stunned for a moment, then she calmed down.

Grandma Chen turned around and looked straight at Gu Jiayue with a hint of inquiry in her eyes. She asked, "Girl, are you sure you want this?"

Gu Jiayue nodded firmly, "Yes, that's it!"

She thought Grandma Chen would be as angry as her grandmother, after all, the conditions she offered were indeed hard to find in ancient times.

In this era, people who are not married by the age of 25 are either poor or sick.

Unexpectedly, Grandma Chen suddenly burst into laughter.

She laughed so hard that the wrinkles on her face were squeezed together, and said, "I said that Jiayue and I are destined to be together."

Then he turned and spoke to his grandmother. "Before I left today, someone told me to find a suitable girl for her son. I didn't want to accept it before, but now that I've met Jiayue, hey, every one of them fits the bill."

Everyone in the Gu family fell silent.

In their opinion, the conditions that Gu Jiayue had just mentioned were all meant to make things difficult for Chen.

If it were any other matchmaker, they would have stood up and left long ago. Chen was still sitting there because she was the mother of the eldest family, so she gave her face and didn't turn away.

As soon as he finished speaking, he found the right one?

Everyone's face showed an expression of surprise, their eyes were wide open, and their mouths were slightly open, as if they couldn't believe their ears.

Gu Jiayue was also shocked.

She thought to herself, no wonder the matchmakers are a mysterious organization, there really is no one they can't find.

Such a person is wasting his talent as a matchmaker. He should go to the county government and be a constable! He is very good at catching people.

"My dear relatives, who is that person you are talking about? How could a man from a good family be still unmarried at the age of 25?" Grandma was a little unsure.

Her eyes were full of doubts, her brows were furrowed, and a hint of worry appeared on her face.

Could it be that Chen wanted to harm his Jiayue?

That's impossible, right? The eldest daughter-in-law had been married in for over a decade, and although she'd often been scolded by her because of her mouth, she'd never been abused. And she hadn't interfered in the eldest daughter-in-law's affairs, so her in-laws shouldn't resent her, right?

Looking at her grandmother's expression, Chen knew she was overthinking it.

She quickly waved her hands and explained, "Hey, if you want to put it nicely, it means that he can match all the points Jiayue said. Even the lady of that family said that if the woman is willing to live with her son, she can let her son come to her house."

"Oh, you all agree that your son can be a son-in-law? It seems that this young man has some serious problems." The aunt couldn't help but interrupt.

In this day and age, which good family would be willing to let their son marry into their family?

After hearing what her daughter said, Chen glared at her fiercely.

How much trouble has this mouth caused since childhood? Even after being in my forties, I still can't change it.

Having been married into the Gu family for more than ten years and not been beaten to death, Chen really felt that the entire Gu family was kind.

No, since they haven't bullied her daughter in the past ten years, she must find a husband that suits her no matter what!

"There's nothing wrong with him, it's just that his interests and hobbies are a bit unique."
