Innocent and weak, unable to lift anything with their hands or shoulders, they fall over at the slightest gust of wind...
Such a delicate beauty would be nothing if she was born in a wealthy family.
But Gu Youniang has princess syndrome, but she is not destined to be a princess.
The Gu family is a butcher and is quite wealthy.
Gu Youniang has three sisters-in-law and one sister, and she has never been required to work since she was a child.
However, no matter how good the Gu family is, they cannot support their daughter for her entire life.
Finally, Gu Youniang reached the age of marriage.
She became a difficult problem.
Those young men really liked Gu Youniang because her appearance and temperament met most men's fantasies about women.
But the parents-in-law cannot bear to see their future daughter-in-law being so delicate.
She can't work or go to the fields, and looking at her slender waist, it will be difficult for her to have children in the future.
In a farming family, a woman who cannot work or bear children is completely worthless.
Especially some mothers-in-law, they were more worried that Gu Youniang was a vixen who would bewitch their own sons.
...This is not just marrying a daughter-in-law, but welcoming a little ancestor into the family.
Nowadays, marriages are decided by parents and matchmakers. If the parents don't agree, no matter how much the son likes the child, it's useless.
Just like that, Gu Youniang, such a beautiful little girl, was left behind.
Just when the Gu family began to have a headache and was thinking about how to cheat, oh no, to find a sucker in another place, oh no, a good son-in-law, Zhao Guodong happened to come to Gujiaao to collect medicinal herbs.
After a chance encounter and a quick glance, Zhao Guodong fell in love with that graceful figure at first sight.
He was not like other young men around him. He was sent away early because he was not valued by his parents.
He is capable and can make his own decisions.
If you are interested, then take action.
Zhao Guodong directly hired a matchmaker and went to the Gu family to propose marriage.
When the Zhao family heard about it, they all came over to dissuade them.
Old Man Zhao and Old Lady Zhao said, "San'er, a man marries a wife to live. Gu is indeed beautiful, but beauty cannot be used to make a living."
"Listen to your parents and marry your uncle's cousin. Although she's not as pretty as Gu, she's strong, has a big butt, can work, and can give birth to a son!"
A book-reading app recommended to me by a book friend of ten years, Huanyuan App! It's so damn useful! I use it to pass the time reading aloud and listening to books while driving or before bed. You can download it here.
Zhao Guodong: ...Haha, he is indeed very strong and even fatter than me.
And that dark face with two blushes, it’s not ugly, but it’s not beautiful either.
Zhao Guodong was persuaded to withdraw after just one meeting.
Brother Zhao and Sister Zhao said, "Third brother, I know you like pretty girls, but Gu Shi is really not suitable. She has been spoiled too much by the Gu family and is not the type to live a normal life at all."
"The one my sister-in-law introduced you to is better. He's not bad looking, just a little older. But that's not a disadvantage. A woman three years older than you is a treasure."
Zhao Guodong: ...Haha, I’m not afraid of age, but I’m a little too “precocious”.
She has a charming face and speaks more freely than the pretty widow in the village.
I heard that the reason this "cousin" was left alone was because she went to work in town when she was fourteen or fifteen years old, and ended up having a romantic affair.
A woman like this is worse than a widow.
There is no way she can compare with the young lady from the Gu family!
Second brother Zhao and his wife, Xiaodi Zhao and his sister-in-law Zhao... all the relatives of the Zhao family, whether related in any way or not, came to try to persuade them with good intentions.
Zhao Guodong: "Thank you all for your kindness! But I have to live my own life, and my wife still wants to find someone who suits her!"
Of course Zhao Guodong knew Gu Youniang's shortcomings.
It's just that he can't work and needs to be coaxed and supplied.
Coincidentally, Zhao Guodong has been making a living on his own since he was a child, and he is a very chauvinistic person at heart.
If Gu Youniang was too strong, Zhao Guodong might not choose her.
Zhao Guodong just hopes that his wife will be a delicate, gentle and docile little wife.
Regardless of everyone's opposition, and with the blessing of his self-proclaimed relatives who said they would "regret it sooner or later", Zhao Guodong forcefully married Gu Youniang home.
For the first ten years, the couple lived happily together.
Zhao Guodong works hard to make money and takes care of both the outside and the family.
Gu Youniang just wanted to be beautiful and let Zhao Guodong run around and arrange everything.
Moreover, Gu Youniang was not in such poor health that she could not have children as rumored outside.
In the second year after she got married, she gave birth to a son for Zhao Guodong.
Three years later, another one.
The two sons look like their mother, fair-skinned, handsome and handsome.
Especially the eldest son, he really doesn't look like a child from a farming family, but rather like a young master from a wealthy family.
Zhao Guodong was so happy that he ran to the town and paid a fortune teller to name his son Zhao Qingyun.
Aspirations to the sky, soaring to the top!
After listening to the fortune teller's eloquent explanation, Zhao Guodong suddenly felt that his son must be a promising person.
In the future, he will be the one to change the Zhao family's door lintel!
Zhao Qingyun is indeed smart and has shown amazing talent for reading since he was three years old.
The scholar in the village private school praised Zhao Qingyun as a little prodigy.
Zhao Guodong became more motivated.
He wanted to work hard to make money so that his son could study and take the imperial examinations so that he could become a high-ranking official in the future.
And the youngest son is a smart one.
Although he is not as smart as his elder brother, he looks quite smart.
Zhao Guodong worked hard to collect herbs and study medicine in an attempt to give his family a better life.
