"Um, are you okay?" Zhang Meng asked him with a bit of guilt.
If she hadn't been so nagging about it, he wouldn't have thought of his parents who abandoned him at this moment.
Gu Mingtai quickly recovered his composure. Seeing that she seemed even sadder than he was, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. "Don't feel sad for me. I've let this kind of thing go. So if you're worried about facing your parents-in-law after marrying me, you don't have to worry at all. It won't happen."
Zhang Meng coughed awkwardly and replied softly, "I know."
Seeing her guilty look, Gu Mingtai smiled again, "Anything else you want to ask?"
"No more." Zhang Meng shook her head.
Gu Mingtai nodded, "Okay then, can I take it that you've agreed to let me come here?"
Zhang Meng's eyes flashed with anxiety, and she immediately raised her hand again, "I have one more thing to say."
Gu Mingtai made a gesture to her to speak.
"You can see that my family only has my grandmother and my younger brother. There's no way I'm going to abandon them and get married. To be honest, the person I want to marry must help me support my grandmother and my younger brother, otherwise I won't get married."
Gu Mingtai chuckled softly, looked at her and asked, "Anything else?"
Zhang Meng shook her head, "No more."
"The problem you just mentioned is not a problem for me. I live alone now. If we get married in the future, your family will be my family. I am willing to help you support them."
Looking at his serious expression when he said this, Zhang Meng had to admit in her heart that she was really fascinated by him.
Once she was fascinated by this, she agreed to things without thinking.
By the time she came to her senses, she had already agreed to marry him.
Seeing him smiling like a flower, Zhang Meng really wanted to hit her head, hating herself for not being able to control herself and letting herself be bewitched by his beauty.
When Grandma Zhang came in, she soon learned that her granddaughter had agreed to get married.
"That's good. Xiao Gu is an honest and reliable man. Grandma is relieved that you are with him." Grandma Zhang patted the back of Zhang Meng's hand and said with relief.
Soon it was time for lunch. On the Zhang family's dining table, there were three fried eggs and a plate of stir-fried pork with garlic. Gu Mingtai had brought the meat, and Grandma Zhang had cut off a piece of it and stir-fried it.
The three generations of grandparents, grandchildren, and Gu Mingtai sat together and finished their lunch like a family.
After lunch, Grandma Zhang learned that her granddaughter was going to the county town in her future grandson-in-law’s car to buy things for her wedding.
Just as Zhang Meng was about to follow Gu Mingtai out, she was suddenly called into the house by Grandma Zhang who came out of the kitchen.
In a room that was neither big nor small, there was a bed and a cabinet that looked very old.
Grandma Zhang took out a box from the cabinet and placed it on the bed.
Zhang Meng, sitting on the bed, looked at the box that Grandma Zhang brought over and stared at it curiously, "Grandma, what's in it?"
Grandma Zhang stared at the box in a daze, then came to her senses and said, "This is something that belonged to Grandma."
Grandma Zhang opened the box, revealing two gold bracelets and five or six small yellow croakers.
Seeing these things, Zhang Meng subconsciously covered her mouth, which was about to scream out loud, and looked at Grandma Zhang in surprise, "Grandma, these things are...!"
"This is my dowry. I've kept it until now because I want you and Xiao Tao to get married in the future. Xiao Tao doesn't need it for the time being. You're almost there now, so I'll give you a gold bracelet and three small yellow croakers. Be careful and buy one of the small yellow croakers on the black market. Use the money to go to the mall and see if there's any clothes you like. If you do, buy it and wear it on your wedding day."
Zhang Meng looked at the thing that Grandma Zhang had stuffed into her hand. It was heavy and she knew at a glance that it was a good thing.
When she came out of the room, Zhang Meng couldn't believe that her grandmother, who looked so poor, had so many important things hidden on her body.
When she arrived in front of the car, Gu Mingtai, who was already sitting in the car, saw her coming and immediately got out of the car, opened the opposite door, and let her sit next to him.
"What's going on?" Gu Mingtai, who was about to drive, found that the woman sitting next to him was silent.
Zhang Meng raised her head and looked at him. She originally wanted to tell him about the treasures, but when she thought about the fact that they were nothing at the moment, it was better not to talk about such things for the time being.
"Nothing, let's drive."
Gu Mingtai naturally saw that she was hesitant to speak, but since she was unwilling to say it, he didn't ask. When she wanted to say it, she would say it naturally.
The green military vehicle quickly left Zhangjia Village and headed towards the county town.
As the military vehicles sped through the village, many villagers had already seen them.
It was still a long time before work started. In the large open space in the center of the village, a group of people were sitting in the shade, talking about the large military vehicle that had just sped past them.
"What do you think this granddaughter of the Zhang family is up to? Why are there so many people coming to look for her these days? Now there's even a car coming to pick her up. Has Zhang Meng become rich?"
"I think it's possible. Haven't you noticed that Aunt Zhang's granddaughter hasn't been coming to work recently? Not working means no food to eat, but look at her. I smelled meat when I passed by her house at noon today."
"From what I can see, Xiao Meng might have gone to the county town to work as a prostitute."
Just as they were discussing Zheng Huan, an angry voice rang out from among them, and then the people who had just discussed Zhang Meng's private affairs were immediately beaten.
"I'll beat you stinky mouths to death for rubbing our Xiao Meng's reputation. Did you eat shit or what? Did others provoke you that you have to speak of them like this." Grandma San put one hand on her waist and slapped them on the back with the other hand.
When the three people who were beaten saw that it was Sanpo, they didn't dare to curse and could only think that they were unlucky and left secretly.
Zhang Meng, who had already arrived at the county shopping mall, was naturally unaware of what had happened in the large open space in the village.
Now she was following Gu Mingtai to the largest shopping mall in the county to pick out quilts, pillows and other items for her wedding.
"Let's pick red, what do you think?" After looking around, Zhang Meng still likes to use red when she gets married.
Gu Mingtai looked like he was ready to listen to her. "Okay, I'll do as you say."
Zhang Meng blushed and glanced at the salesperson next to her embarrassedly. "What do you mean by listening to me? We're getting married, so don't you have to express your opinion? Also, what does your home look like so I can buy some things to decorate it."
Gu Mingtai touched his nose and smiled, "I plan to live in your house after we get married, so that it will be convenient for me to take care of grandma and your brother."
