The next morning, Gu Lang went home early to wait for his parents. They had agreed to propose marriage today, and it would not be good if he waited there for them, so he got up early and went home to wait for his parents to go with the matchmaker to propose marriage.
They also asked Lu Wanwan to accompany Xiaoxiao and be Xiaoxiao's in-laws. Otherwise, Xiaoxiao would be alone, and it would be much better to have a in-law. Tang Xiaoxiao was very grateful to Gu Lang for thinking so much about her.
Gu Lang's mother went to the matchmaker Aunt Qiu's house first. When she saw Aunt Qiu coming, she knew what she meant. She didn't expect the two of them to develop so quickly.
"Sister Qiu, I came to you to ask you to be a matchmaker for my son. I wonder if you are free today?"
"Big sister, judging by what you said, you must have time. The child's matter is more important."
"Would you mind coming with us?"
"I'm going to change my clothes, please wait for a moment."
A few minutes later, Aunt Qiu came out and said with a smile, "I told you that you don't need to worry about your son. I've brought your daughter-in-law back to you in just a few days."
"Alas, it's no use worrying about us. Every time we ask him to go on a blind date, he refuses to go. Seeing that his cousin is engaged, I originally asked you with a try-out attitude, but I didn't expect that he already has someone he likes. It's our fault that we didn't notice it until now."
"Your son has good taste. That girl is a good one. It will definitely be a good choice to marry her. She is also interested in him. You have to like someone before you can get married."
"Well, thanks for your good wishes. I also hope they can be fine."
"By the way, have you chosen a date? What are the terms for the betrothal gift and so on?" You can't go to propose a marriage without knowing anything.
"Our betrothal gift is 666, and we'll see what Xiaoxiao thinks. We can buy it or get a discount. The discount will be calculated based on Wanwan's 500."
"Okay, that's good. Since we're two good friends, the betrothal gifts are all the same, and this way we can feel more balanced."
"As for the date, we will discuss it with Xiaoxiao when the time comes. Please pick a few more good dates."
"Okay, that's no problem." It was her honor to meet such an easy matchmaker this year. If her best friend married her brother, it would be a good story if both of them were happy.
When the group arrived at Tang Xiaoxiao's residence, Tang Xiaoxiao was already waiting there. She was still a little shy seeing so many people coming. She finally understood why Wanwan had wanted to hold her hand that day. It turned out that it was to cover up her embarrassment.
"Oh, this is Xiaoxiao, she is so beautiful and looks so graceful. No wonder Gu Lang is so anxious to marry her. Gu Lang is a hot commodity in these villages and towns." Gu Lang is a good-looking person and has a good family, so many families want to marry her.
"Auntie, Gu Lang is really nice." Xiaoxiao said shyly.
"But you are not a bad girl, you just look a little weak. Men should not spoil you. When you have time, learn from your sisters and learn how to be strong." Just looking at the way the girl walks, you can tell that she has been bullied badly. Men should not be allowed to do whatever they want in such matters and only care about their own feelings.
After the matchmaker finished speaking, Gu Lang was given a cold stare by his parents. He touched his nose innocently. What did this have to do with him? Why were they glaring at him? They thought everything was fine and no one knew about it. Unexpectedly, they were all experienced people. Xiaoxiao's few steps exposed everything.
"Let's get back to the point. Xiaoxiao and Gu Lang's betrothal gifts are also 666, just like your sisters. If you want to buy it, they will buy it for you. If you want to cash it, it will be 500. What do you think?"
"Auntie, I have no objection. This is fine."
"As for the date, we've picked two. One is the sixth of next month, and the other is October 1st. You can see if it works. If not, we'll have to wait until the end of the year."
"Gu Lang, I want to choose October 1st so that my parents and brothers can come over. It's difficult for them to ask for leave on other days."
"Okay, sure." Where's her brother? How many brothers does Xiaoxiao have? Wanwan had only one brother and it made Gu Feng so anxious, but now she has several? I hope she won't be beaten badly. I heard that Gu Feng was beaten pretty badly.
Or I'll ask Xiaoxiao later. If that doesn't work, I'll ask Gu Feng to learn a few moves. At least I have to protect my face and not look too miserable.
"Aunt, my dowry is also one thousand and one. It's the custom in our area. I've already discussed it with my parents. Everything else should be kept simple, after all, it's not easy to take it from someone else."
"We don't care about these things. As long as you two are fine," said Gu Lang's parents.
"Then everything is settled. There is nothing for me to do now. I will leave first." Aunt Qiu said
"Sister, let us see you off outside." Gu Lang's parents went to see the matchmaker off and left at the same time.
Gu Lang asked anxiously, "Xiaoxiao, do you have many brothers?"
"Not many, just three."
"Ah, where are the three?" Gu Lang frowned.
"Isn't it good that I have a brother?" Xiaoxiao was confused. Why did Gu Lang dislike her brother so much?
"Xiaoxiao, do you know that Lu Wanwan's brother beat Gu Feng badly? All the injuries were invisible. What about your three brothers? I'm done."
She seemed to have really stood up. Wanwan's brother asked Gu Feng to practice with her, but no one knew how she did it. It turned out that she was so good at it. No wonder Gu Lang was afraid.
"Wanwan's brother is a soldier, so it's normal for Gu Feng to be beaten. You don't have to worry. My eldest brother is a university professor, my second brother is a doctor, and my third brother is a translator. We are all scholars in our family and we don't use violence. You don't have to worry about being beaten." Xiaoxiao said comfortingly, but she felt guilty herself.
Although her three brothers were all in clerical positions, they had all practiced martial arts before. However, she couldn't tell Gu Lang, otherwise he would be even more scared.
