Shuiyue said, "I refused." "Why?" Qiao Yu asked, thinking about what Ahua said.
A while ago, Ah Hua came to tell her that Shu Miao had fallen in love with Lu Yan and wanted them to get married. Now Lu Yan was proposing marriage to Shui Yue. Could it be that Lu Yan didn't like Shu Miao, but fell in love with Shui Yue instead?
She glanced at Shuiyue and felt that she could understand it.
Shu Miao was just an ordinary girl in the tribe, but Shui Yue, with her looks alone, stood out from the crowd. She also had the skill of a boat builder. Qiao Yu had gone to take a look yesterday and saw that the carpentry team had indeed built a boat under Shui Yue's guidance.
While that boat couldn't compare to later generations, being a mere combination of a raft and a wooden boat, it was the standard of the era. The fact that Shuiyue could get everyone to build it proved she was quite capable. At least she wasn't some clueless girl in the Water Tribe who simply waited until she was old enough to get married.
From this point of view, she is much stronger than the sapling.
Since her time travel, Qiao Yu has been deeply in love with Shu Miao's family. When the pottery team was expanding, she arranged for Shu Miao to join the team. However, Shu Miao had no ambition and simply did whatever he was told to do. He was not proactive and had no ambition, his mind preoccupied with finding a good husband.
"There's no reason. I'm just like you. I don't want to get married." Shuiyue said.
As she spoke, she glanced at Qiao Yu, half smiling, "I heard that Lu Yan was your fiancé before. Now he's asking me to marry him, aren't you angry?"
Qiao Yu rolled her eyes at her: "If I could still be angry for him, how could it be your turn?"
These words were arrogant, and the women in the tribe wondered what they would think of Qiao Yu after hearing them.
Shuiyue laughed out loud and nodded in agreement, "That makes sense."
Qiao Yu's appearance was no less impressive than hers, and she was also a tribal leader. Under her leadership, the Dragon Tribe enjoyed prosperity, harmony, and democracy. This was something a daughter of a fallen tribe like her couldn't compare to. If Qiao Yu could be attracted to Lu Yan, she wouldn't have had much of a problem.
Shuiyue feels that no man in the world is worthy of Qiao Yu.
Lu Yan, relying solely on his A-Zu's status as an elder, his good looks, and his other decent qualities, became arrogant and overconfident. Shuiyue had seen many such people in the Shui and Sifang tribes. When things were going well for them, they were fine, but when they weren't, they would become self-pitying, irritable, and irritable, taking all their frustrations out on their women.
Even she looked down on this kind of person, so how could Qiao Yu take him seriously?
"How have you been recently?" Qiao Yu asked.
"Not bad." Shuiyue said.
Her only worry was that there were too many men confessing their love to her. However, the thing that pleased her most about the Dragon Tribe was that it lacked the privileges and power of larger tribes like the Sifang Tribe. No one dared to take advantage of their small power to rob others.
She had also heard from the women that a team leader had bullied and abused his teammates, and Qiao Yu had dismissed him. He was also forced to apologize publicly and pay compensation. Now, all team members have the right to rate their team leader every month. If the rating is low, the tribe will dismiss the team leader.
After hearing this, Shuiyue was deeply glad that she came to the Dragon Tribe, and her admiration for Qiao Yu had reached the point of worship.
"Okay, you are busy, I won't bother you anymore." Shuiyue stood up, waved to Qiao Yu, and walked out.
Qiao Yu thought about it, got up and went to Shu's house, called Ah Hua out, and asked her in a low voice: "Last time you said you wanted to marry Shu Miao to Lu Yan, have you told his family about this?"
"Yes." Ah Hua said, "I told Yan's mother."
"What did she say?"
"She said she would ask Yan and then get back to me." Ah Hua said.
Then she asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
She knew Qiao Yu was busy and determined not to marry, her mind preoccupied with tribal affairs, and she didn't care about these romantic matters at all. For so long, when the two families visited each other, Qiao Yu would remain silent when these matters were brought up, seemingly unwilling to discuss such matters.
Now that she came specifically to ask about this matter, Ah Hua felt something was wrong.
"Lu Yan went to propose to Shuiyue today." Qiao Yu said.
"What?" Ah Hua's expression suddenly changed, and an angry look appeared on her face.
"But Shuiyue rejected him. I heard Shuiyue mention this matter, and I didn't know what was going on here, so I came to ask you." Qiao Yu said.
Seeing Ah Hua's bad face, she said, "Shui Miao is my sister. I know about this matter, so I must come to tell you. As for what to do about this matter, you two can discuss it and decide."
She nodded and turned to leave.
It would have been fine if she didn't know about this, but now that she knew, she would definitely have to remind Ah Hua and Shu Miao. As for whether they would complain, that was not something she could control. In the end, whether Shu Miao wanted to marry Lu Yan or not was their own business.
Despite saying no, Qiao Yu couldn't help but ask during dinner the next day, "Do you know how Shu Miao's marriage went?"
Shanquan looked up at her in surprise: "Sister, have you heard about it?"
"What did you hear?"
Seeing her confusion, Shanquan said hurriedly, "There's a big fight going on in their family. Shu Miao wants to marry Lu Yan, but her uncle and aunt don't agree."
"What did Lu Yan say?" Qiao Yu asked.
Shanquan shook his head: "I don't know about that. But judging by the expressions of my uncle and the others, I think as long as they agree, this marriage will be possible."
Seeing that he and Shan seemed to be unaware of what was happening with Shuiyue, Qiao Yu told her what Shuiyue had said to her last night.
Shan frowned: "Have you told your uncle and the others about this?"
"Yes. Shuiyue told me about this yesterday, and then I went to tell Auntie."
Hearing what Qiao Yu said, Shan and Shanquan were very surprised.
Shanquan said bluntly, "Is Shu Miao a little silly? She sees Yan likes people like you and Shui Yue at first sight. If she marries Lu Yan, will he be good to her?"
Shan slapped him and said, "Some things should be kept in your heart and not spoken out loud."
Qiao Yu: “…”
She always thought her father was quite serious, but she never expected him to say such a thing.
Shan glanced at Qiao Yu and said, "Just tell me about this. Don't worry about it anymore." He then warned Shanquan, "Don't ask around or get involved. Maybe Shu Miao will blame your sister later."
When Shanquan heard this, he quickly waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I won't get involved." He was just a young boy, and as long as it didn't involve his father and sister, he didn't care about such marriage matters.
Two days later, Ah Hua came to find Qiao Yu and said to her, "Shu Miao is determined to get married, and I can't persuade her. We will marry them tomorrow. You, your father, and Xiao Quan can all come over to join in the fun."
