Gu Shouxin and Cai Xiaolian were preparing a coming-of-age ceremony for Gu Nian. With only a few days left until the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, the village head's wife arrived with the matchmaker.
Cai Xiaolian looked speechlessly at Xu, the village head's wife: "Yun Guiniang, what are you planning to do?"
Madam Xu didn't want to speak, her face cold as if someone owed her hundreds of taels of silver.
The matchmaker, Granny Chen, standing next to her, said with a smile, "Little Lian! Your aunt came with Yun Gui Niang to propose marriage. We're all from the same village, and the two children have watched each other grow up. We know each other well, and Nian Nian will be fifteen in a few days. It's time to settle the marriage."
Cai Xiaolian frowned and sneered, "Aunt Chen, watch your words. My husband and I have no plans to marry off our daughter."
As the matchmaker, Granny Chen always smiled and said, "Xiao Lian, even if you haven't made plans yet, you can start now! Zhang's son from Yungui is really good. The young man looks handsome, and he's an apprentice at a blacksmith, almost ready to graduate. I'm not saying this to be rude, but in all the surrounding villages, Yungui is truly a perfect match, a good match for your family's beloved. After he marries, it'll be in the same village, close to his parents' home. Xiao Lian, you understand the advantages of being close to your parents' home, don't you?"
Cai Xiaolian: "I'm sorry, I really don't know. Aunt Chen, Yun Guiniang, please go back! Our family really has no such plans."
Madam Xu was displeased. She stood up and threw the gifts down, saying, "Cai Xiaolian, what do you mean? My Yun Gui has taken a liking to your Gu Nian, and now you're acting all high and mighty? When she tricked my son into buying her hair accessories and jewelry, wasn't she acting all high and mighty? What kind of person is she?"
Cai Xiaolian was also annoyed by Gu Nian's recent actions. "Are all these boys crazy? If a girl doesn't like you, why are you bothering her?"
They even timed it perfectly, arriving one after another.
She slammed her hand on the table and stood up: "Take your things and get out! I'm angry now and I'm going to fight!"
Granny Chen quickly stood up to smooth things over, advising Cai Xiaolian and also speaking to Madam Xu.
Thinking about how her family had made such a big joke because of the second branch of the Gu family, and now that her family had moved away from Qingzhou Prefecture, Xu was angry whenever she thought about it. She rolled up her sleeves and went up to pull Cai Xiaolian's hair.
Cai Xiaolian isn't afraid at all!
When I first traveled through time, I could sit on the ground in the street, slap my thighs, and act like a tantrum, let alone at home.
Can I just give up on my image?
These damned people, instead of going back to educate their own sons, they all come here to cause trouble. They're really messed up.
"Oh dear, oh dear! Stop fighting! How can this be? How can this be? You're going to be in-laws, how can you fight like this?" Granny Chen had never encountered a situation where the two families, who had come to propose marriage, started fighting!
"Even if I were a monk, I wouldn't marry a woman from the Gu family!"
"I'd rather become a nun than marry a man from the Zhang family!"
The two replied in unison, and then continued fighting.
Granny Chen was so helpless that she could only find someone to drag the body away.
Unfortunately, the Gu family's daughters went to the estate today, and Gu Shouxin went to the city to buy things needed for Gu Nian's coming-of-age ceremony.
When Granny Chen arrived at the old house, she saw Zhang carrying the baby home. She quickly stopped Zhang, briefly explained the situation, and then hurriedly went to Zhang's house to find someone.
Upon hearing this, Zhang thought, "Oh, my sister-in-law was beaten by that hypocritical old woman from the village head's family?"
How could she, as the eldest sister-in-law, watch her younger brother's wife be beaten? Her younger brother's wife is so good! And so thin, she definitely couldn't beat that damned Xu woman.
Zhang carried Gu Ren towards the second house, whispering to him as they walked, "Little one, Mommy's going to help your second aunt beat someone up in a bit. You sit quietly by the door and don't crawl around. Watch how powerful your mommy is!"
