"Who's his wife? If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll beat you up too!" Gu Xilan glared fiercely at Zhao Guoan, who was always stirring up trouble.
Zhao Guoan quickly covered his mouth with his hand, his eyes still darting around, watching the scene with a mixture of excitement and gossip.
Orange squinted at the wall, wagging its tail, looking like it knew it would happen.
Xiao Hei barked beside her, as if cheering Gu Xilan on.
Jiang Jinhua tried to escape, but it bit his trouser leg to stop him from leaving.
This infuriated Jiang Jinhua, who even threatened to break off all ties with Xiao Hei.
Gu Xilan didn't care about him. While venting her anger, she thanked Xiao Hei and said that she would bring Xiao Hei more meat buns next time she went to town.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Hei worked even harder to help Gu Xilan.
Seeing this, Jiang Jinxiu raised her chin and said to everyone present, "Look, don't they make a good couple?!"
Jiang Jinxiu noticed this when they were studying together. Although they often bickered, they had a great understanding of each other.
Importantly, she had secretly watched them study together beforehand.
She discovered that her younger brother listened to Gu Xilan very much.
Although he was verbally sarcastic, his actions were anything but hesitant; he would carry out every task that Gu Xilan asked him to do.
When he went to the black market to find treasures, he not only selected items to send back to his parents, but also often found small items to give to Gu Xilan.
He would bring back anything he felt was suitable for Gu Xilan.
He ostensibly expressed his gratitude for her tutoring.
She didn't know at first, but Chengzi told her about it, and that's when she started to pay attention.
Even for Gu Xilan and his classmates' final exams this time, she specially brought back a set of test papers for him to do.
At first, Jiang Jinhua was unwilling to do it, but after Gu Xilan yelled at him, he obediently finished the test paper before going out to play.
Jiang Jinhua really needs someone who can keep him in check.
Gu Xilan is quite good.
The crowd looked at each other, bewildered by the scene, and it seemed quite a spectacle indeed.
Even Yang Dongmei had to admit that the two children were indeed pleasing to the eye.
Since the third son's wife married into the family, they can eat meat every two or three days and have enough to eat at every meal. Her daughter is also growing more and more beautiful.
Jiang Jinhua, that kid, inherited the excellent genes from his father and mother, and he's not bad-looking either.
If it were someone from their side, matchmakers would be lining up at their door.
Seeing that her daughter could control Jiang Jinhua, she finally felt a little better.
Only Gu Dashan still had a dark expression on his face.
Jiang Junrong could tell what he was thinking just by looking at his expression.
He hooked his arm around Gu Dashan's shoulder and said, "Brother, I know what you're thinking. Your daughter is all grown up; she'll have to get married eventually."
Our two families know each other well, which is better than her marrying someone she doesn't know, right?
Besides, we're here to protect Lan Yatou, so that kid can't cause any trouble.
If you don't believe me, don't you also believe that your youngest son can take care of his sister?
And look, doesn't your daughter have my son completely under her thumb?
Gu Dashan felt a slight sense of relief.
At this moment, Jiang Jinxiu said again, "Xiao Lan is still young and in school. We can get them engaged first, and then decide for them when or whether to get married. At least we can silence the gossip for now."
Jiang Jinxiu did not want Gu Xilan to become a second version of herself. The original owner of this body was forced to marry Gu Xichen because her reputation was ruined.
Although the two of them are doing well now, she still feels a little uneasy when she thinks back to the despair the original owner felt back then.
Anyway, the two are only engaged, not married.
If they really can't get along in the future, they can just break off the engagement.
The group agreed that what Jiang Jinxiu said made sense.
Gu Dashan finally felt a little better.
The atmosphere in the hall finally improved a lot, and the elders from both sides began to discuss how to hold an engagement banquet for the two.
Grandma Luo, acting like a child, leaned close to Jiang Jinxiu and asked, "Girl, do you think they'll get married in the future?"
Jiang Jinxiu couldn't help but laugh at the gossipy look on his face.
She noticed that the longer Grandma Luo spent with them, the more casual she became.
At first, I still acted like an elder, but now I can chat with them about all sorts of interesting topics without any reservations.
She could even play with Pearl and the others; Jiang Jinxiu had even seen them playing pebbling together.
Jiang Jinxiu sometimes wondered if the old lady were twenty years younger, would she also play hide-and-seek and jump rope with Pearl and the others?
Grandma Luo, do you think they will get married?
"Hmm~ I think so. I'll tell you a secret, I saw them face-to-face in their room the other day..."
As he spoke, he gestured with great interest.
Clench your four fingers tightly, and tap your two thumbs together.
Jiang Jinxiu shook her head, clearly not believing it.
If these two were really together, the reaction wouldn't be so strong now.
And she believed that her brother wasn't that kind of person either.
In her eyes, her younger brother's mind was no different from that of a child, except that he understood a little more than a child.
They belong to the late-blooming type.
However, she also felt that they would be together in the future, as her brother was a responsible person.
Moreover, in her opinion, the two of them had feelings for each other, but neither of them knew it.
Jiang Junrong, Zhou Wenjing, Gu Dashan, and Yang Dongmei were discussing the engagement of the two, while Grandma Luo and Jiang Jinxiu occasionally chimed in.
The hall was bustling with activity.
The two were still playfully fighting in the courtyard, or rather, Jiang Jinhua was being beaten up unilaterally.
"Grandma, please don't hit me anymore, okay? I really know I was wrong. Doesn't your hand hurt? Can you rest for a while?"
Jiang Jinhua couldn't take it anymore, so she simply picked up Xiao Hei, who was standing at her feet, and used it to block between the two of them.
Gu Xilan almost accidentally hurt Xiao Hei.
Xiao Hei barked at Jiang Jinhua from between the two of them, accusing him of doing inhuman things!
It begged Orange to save it, but Orange only lifted its eyelids to look at it, rolled its eyes at it, and then continued to squint and lie down.
It's as if it's saying: You deserve it, who told you to go and get involved in all that trouble!
It doesn't want to get involved in their affairs; they're all childish.
Little Black whimpered pitifully.
"Put Xiao Hei down!"
"No, grandma, can't you rest for a while? I've already been double-teamed by my parents today, and you're still hitting me? Look at my hands, they're all black!"
As he spoke, he lifted his sleeve to show Gu Xilan, but when he did, the skin hidden under his thick cotton-padded coat was even whiter and more delicate than his face.
There wasn't a single bruise!
Xiao Hei also took the opportunity to struggle, break free from Jiang Jinhua's control, and distance himself from them.
Gu Xilan felt like she had been tricked again!
Just as he was about to explode, Jiang Jinhua said again, "Really, really, I'm not lying to you, I'll take off my clothes and show you..."
"Aaaaah... Jiang Jinhua, you pervert..."
