Who can predict the future? Lan Guoer didn't want to judge other people's choices.
And it seemed like she had encountered too many upsetting things that day! Thinking of something, she brought up a relatively festive topic.
"I heard from Aunt Qing that your family introduced you to a guy. Have you seen him? When do you plan to get married?"
Marriage is a happy event in any era! Lan Guoer asked with a smile.
Xiao Gao touched his head, and his face instantly turned red to his ears.
"Hey! It's just that my mother mentioned it in the letter. If I don't have any objections, she will find a matchmaker to go to the girl's house and talk to her. Whether the girl will like me or not is another matter!"
"Oh! Seeing how happy you are, it seems you have already taken a fancy to that girl?" Lan Guoer joked.
"Hehe!" Xiao Gao pulled the corner of his lips,
"To be honest, sister-in-law, I went to school with that girl for a few days before I joined the army. So we were classmates.
In our area, that girl is one of the prettiest, and she is also smart and talkative!
My mother told me that if she hadn't been so ambitious and focused on getting into university in the past two years, she would have found a husband a long time ago!
I guess this is just a lucky coincidence."
When talking about the girl he liked, Xiao Gao couldn't help but talk more. Without waiting for Lan Guoer to ask, he poured out everything.
"Speaking of which, I'm a bit overreaching!
In terms of their family conditions, they are among the best in our country.
Her father is an accountant in our village, and her two older brothers are both regular employees in the county factory.
She has a younger sister, but she has a miserable life. I heard that she had a high fever when she was a child, which may have damaged her throat, and she never spoke again after that.
I met her last time when I went home. The little girl looked quite like her sister and was very efficient at her work. It’s such a pity…”
Lan Guoer couldn't help but pursed her lips and joked again,
"You haven't even become someone's son-in-law yet, but you already know everything about their family! It seems like this girl is really what you want!"
"By the way, you're 22 this year, right? You're not young anymore! If you can make it, hurry up and marry her quickly, or else someone else will steal your girl away!"
Xiao Gao smiled and nodded.
"That's what I thought! I've already replied to my family, and they should have received it in the next two days. If it works out, I'll definitely set up two tables at Jinyuan and invite my sister-in-law and the whole family to a wedding banquet."
"That's great! Jinyuan really needs some fun these days!"
But some things are just so hard to talk about!
Early the next morning, Lan Guoer was awakened by a loud noise.
Ever since the little ones left, Jinyuan has been very quiet. Feeling that something was not right, she casually put on some clothes and went out.
The sound came from the front door.
"Big Brother, Second Brother, how could you do this? I am your brother after all. How could you team up with outsiders and plot against me like this?"
There was a tearful tone in Xiao Gao's voice, and his tone was full of grievance and resentment.
"How did this become a plot against you?
You said you are not a child anymore, and you were sent back by the team. Although you have found a job in this big city, you don’t have a formal position after all. What’s the difference between you and those of us who make a living in the dirt?
Besides, given our family's situation, how can we afford to build you a new house or marry you off? It's a blessing for our family that the mute girl doesn't mind our situation and is willing to be with you. Why are you so picky about her?"
"Yes, Third Brother! I don't think there's anything wrong with the mute sister. In terms of appearance, she's much better than your two sisters-in-law! She's also very hardworking. The Liu family relies on the mute sister to take care of everything at home and outside. Wouldn't it be easier for you to marry a daughter-in-law like her?"
Xiao Gao's second brother also advised.
"Is this a matter of whether a person is good or not, or whether he is diligent or not?" Xiao Gao grabbed his hair and was about to go crazy!
"You are committing fraud! This is an arranged marriage!
In short, I will not agree to this! How you brought her here, how you take her back! I will decide my own marriage, and none of you can interfere!"
Seeing that he was really excited, Gao Lao Da and Gao Lao Er looked at each other, and then looked at Liu Yamei who was standing next to him with her head down and tugging at the corner of her clothes.
Finally, it was Boss Liu who spoke again.
"We have brought the person to you. It is impossible for us to take him back!" As he said that, Boss Gao took out a piece of cardboard from his arms and stuffed it into Xiao Gao's arms.
"This is your marriage certificate! Mute Sister is your wife now. If you don't want her, you're asking for her life! It's up to you!"
As he said this, he pushed Gao Laoer.
"Now that we've been sent here, and I don't think they welcome us, let's stop being an eyesore and catch the earliest bus back!"
Gao Laoer understood what he meant and ran away even faster than Gao Laoda.
Xiao Gao stared at the marriage certificate in his hand, and while he was still in a daze, the two people had already run away.
Lan Guoer walked to the corner and heard that it was someone's family matter, so she didn't go out again, but she did eavesdrop on what was happening around the corner.
After seeing the two brothers leave, he came out from behind the wall.
At the gate stood a girl of about seventeen or eighteen years old, about 1.6 meters tall and a little thin.
She was wearing a Dacron floral shirt that was ironed flat and looked newly made.
He wore a pair of light grey trousers and a pair of clean thousand-layer soles, which made him look refreshing and neat.
She had two pigtails tied in front of her chest. At this moment, a pair of small hands were pulling the ends of her hair helplessly, and her head was lowered so low that it seemed to be buried in the ground!
"Let's talk about everything at home first! Now that we're here, we can't just leave people standing at the door all the time."
Lan Guoer spoke at the right time, bringing Xiao Gao back to his senses from the shock of the marriage certificate.
"Sister-in-law...sister-in-law! This...he...they are...too bullying!"
Unexpectedly, when Xiao Gao saw Lan Guoer, she squatted down and burst into tears like a child who had found something to lean on.
The mute girl seemed to have heard the crying, her eyes were a little flustered, she wanted to go forward but seemed not to dare, and looked at Lan Guoer anxiously.
Only then did Lan Guoer see her appearance clearly.
The girl's face was slightly thin, but still round, and her big eyes blinked, as clean as lake water, sparkling with a simple light.
Perhaps due to years of hard work, her skin is a little rough, but this does not affect her beauty. Instead, it adds a bit of simplicity and toughness.
All in all, the first impression this girl gave her was quite good.
