The matchmaker Yang's foot went weak the moment she stepped out, and she knelt down on the ground again.
"My lord, I've already admitted my mistake, please let me go. I have an eighty-year-old mother and a seven- or eight-year-old grandson, please spare me!" the matchmaker pleaded.
Gu Lili rolled her eyes at Matchmaker Yang and said, "So, do you still want me to compensate you for this money?"
Matchmaker Yang shook her head repeatedly and said with a forced smile, "No, no, it was my own fault for falling today. Who should pay for it?"
Gu Lili waved her hand dismissively, and Matchmaker Yang stood up and disappeared in front of them in a flash.
She was afraid that if she ran a step too slow, Gu Lili would call her back again!
Watching the matchmaker Yang leave in a disheveled state, Zhang Dahua felt extremely relieved.
She looked at Gu Lili with admiration, thinking, "Sister Lili is really amazing."
With just a few words, he silenced the shrewish matchmaker and even gave her a special warning not to talk nonsense.
After seeing that the matter was resolved, and with some family matters to attend to, the village headman said a few words and went home.
Gu Lili took out a blood-activating and stasis-removing medicine from her sleeve and walked towards Zhang Dahua.
"Here, Da Hua, take this medicine home and apply it. Don't walk around for the next couple of days!" Gu Lili said gently.
Gu Lili just bought this medicine from her spatial storage; she specifically bought a medicine jar with an antique-looking design.
Zhang Dahua quickly waved her hand and said, "Sister Lili, no need, I'm fine, I'll just go home and rest!"
Looking at the packaging of the medicine, it must be quite expensive, so Zhang Dahua didn't dare to buy it.
Without waiting for a reply, Gu Lili handed it to Zhang Dahua, saying, "Why are you being so polite with me!"
Then, Gu Lili turned to Aunt Zhang and said, "Auntie, if you're free after dinner, why don't you come with me to the edge of the field? I want to ask you something!"
Aunt Zhang looked at her own daughter, then at Gu Erniu.
He immediately guessed why Gu Lili had come to him.
“Okay, I’ll call you after I’ve had dinner!” Aunt Zhang replied readily.
Ever since I said those things to Da Hua last night, Da Hua has visibly become unhappy.
Today, a matchmaker came to propose marriage. She had originally planned to inquire about the other party's character before agreeing to the marriage.
That would have made Zhang Dahua give up on the idea, but seeing how Gu Erniu protected her daughter today made Aunt Zhang make a decision.
If both of them are interested in each other, then I will nod in agreement.
Even if people say in the future that she only went after Gu Lili because she's now rich, she doesn't care.
As long as my daughter is happy, that's all that matters.
Aunt Zhang agreed to Gu Lili's request, and Gu Lili then led the group back to her own home.
"Erniu, your candy!" Zhang Dahua called out to Gu Erniu, who was about to enter the yard.
Gu Erniu turned his head and smiled, "Sister Dahua, now it's your candy. Eat it quickly, I...I'm going back now."
After Gu Erniu finished speaking, he blushed and ran back.
Zhang Dahua's face also turned red instantly. She lowered her head and looked at the sugar figurine in her hand.
It was only then that Aunt Zhang noticed the candy in Zhang Dahua's hand.
"Oh my, Da Hua, whose hands are so skillful that they've turned you into candy!" Aunt Zhang couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
The person who made this candy is truly skillful.
This is done exactly like Zhang Dahua's.
It was only then that Zhang Dahua belatedly realized that the sugar figurine was actually herself; no wonder it looked familiar.
The thought of Gu Erniu holding the same sugar figurine as her made Zhang Dahua's face turn even redder.
Seeing her daughter like this, Aunt Zhang stopped saying anything and helped Zhang Dahua limp back home.
"Erniu, come to the kitchen, I have something to ask you!"
Gu Lili, who had just returned to her own courtyard, gave instructions to Gu Erniu.
Seeing this, the others dispersed and went about their own business.
Gu Erniu probably guessed what Gu Lili wanted to talk to him about, and his smiling face instantly turned gloomy.
Looks like I'm going to get a beating from my older sister again today.
Thinking this, Gu Erniu followed Gu Lili into the kitchen dejectedly.
"Sister, I didn't think things through today. You can hit me or scold me if you want," Gu Erniu said, his head lowered and his eyes fixed on his toes.
I should admit my mistake first, so that my sister will hit me less hard later.
Gu Lili deliberately put on a stern face and said, "You know you don't think things through when you do things. What if I hadn't come out today? What if the matchmaker had ruined Da Hua's reputation?"
"Then...then...then if Sister Da Hua can't get married because of this, I'll marry her!" Gu Erniu muttered softly.
Anyway, that's what I was thinking just now too.
Gu Lili slammed her hand on the table, feigning anger, and said, "You're willing to marry Da Hua, but Da Hua might not be willing to marry you! Besides, how old are you? Do you know what kind of responsibility it takes to marry someone?"
Gu Lili thought that Gu Erniu was just a little kid himself, how could he possibly understand these principles?
"Sister, I know that if you marry someone, you have to treat them well for the rest of your life! If I can really marry Sister Da Hua, I will definitely treat her like family," Gu Erniu promised.
With Gu Erniu's assurance, Gu Lili felt relieved.
"Alright, I'll ask Aunt Zhang tonight what Da Hua thinks. If she's willing, let's find a good day to finalize this marriage!" Gu Lili said, changing the subject.
Although the two are still young, they can arrange their marriage first.
They will hold the wedding when they both come of age.
This is how it is here; most people get engaged early and then hold the wedding ceremony after they reach marriageable age.
Although Gu Lili felt that even though they had reached the age of marriage, the two of them were still young.
But this is the local custom, so Gu Lili knows to follow local customs!
Gu Erniu had thought he was going to get a good beating from Gu Lili this time, but to his surprise, his sister was willing to ask Aunt Zhang for his sake.
He looked at Gu Lili with disbelief. "Sister, are you serious?!"
Gu Lili jumped up and gave Gu Erniu a flick on the forehead. "When have I ever lied? Hurry up and start the fire. We still need to brew wine after we eat!"
Gu Erniu clutched his head in pain, but his smile was incredibly bright.
"Hey! I'll go start the fire right away!" Gu Erniu replied cheerfully.
Gu Lili shook her head with a wry smile and started cooking.
Gu Lili had just put down her chopsticks when Aunt Zhang's voice came from outside.
"Lili, Lili, have you finished eating?"
