Zhao Hongying glanced at Yi Yami with pride. Yi Yami had been listening attentively with Qin Chaochao. When her name was suddenly called, Yi Yami smiled and said, "Don't worry, I was just thinking about the two distinguished guests who have come with great difficulty. I'll go cook in a moment."
Qin Chaochao reached out and shook Yi Yami's hand. Feeling the calluses on her hand, she felt a little distressed and whispered, "You kid, you're so young, why are the calluses on your hands so thick?"
Yi Yami patted Qin Chaochao's hand gently and said, "Aunt, it's normal for people who work to have calluses on their hands. Don't feel sorry for me. I rely on my hands to bring a good life to my family. I am very satisfied."
Seeing her like this, Qin Chaochao felt even more distressed. He turned around and glared at Gu Beijian. Gu Beijian was innocently caught in the crossfire. Gu Beijian exchanged glances with Qin Chaochao, "Mom, what does this have to do with me?"
"You like me, but you don't know how to protect my hands. After all, she is a girl, and you don't feel sorry for her at all." Qin Chaochao's eyes meant something.
"Mom, you really wronged me. I haven't married her yet. If I did, I would definitely not let her work." Gu Beijian returned a look.
"You are really useless. Your cousin is getting married soon, but you still don't know when to let me propose to him. You really are... You always say how great you are, but in fact, I think you are really a fool!" Qin Chaochao gave him a look of disappointment.
Gu Beijian licked his lips. He had no way of refutating what she meant.
Yi Yami saw the interesting eye contact between the mother and son and thought that the two of them were really interesting.
Fang Caixiu pulled Yi Yami and said, "Come on, Xiaomi, let's go to the kitchen to help cook."
Yi Yami readily agreed, got up and followed him to the kitchen.
Qin Chaochao didn't want to see how Gu Wanping talked to the He family. She was more interested in Yi Yami, so she followed her to the kitchen.
Gu Beijian originally wanted to go to the kitchen with them, but Yao Wenyuan pressed down on his shoulders, making him unable to move. Gu Beijian said in a voice that both of them could hear, "Cousin, what do you mean by holding me down and not letting me move?"
"You stay here. I'll be nervous if you leave." Yao Wenyuan's hands were sweaty.
Gu Beijian understood that he was Yao Wenyuan's external courage, so he gave up the idea of following him to the kitchen.
Gu Wanping said to He Shoushan and Zhao Hongying, "I came here this time, one to see Xiuxiu, one to see you, and the other to discuss the marriage of our two children."
He Shoushan and Zhao Hongying looked at each other and then said, "Sister Gu, I know you are from Kyoto. I was worried that you would look down on my Xiuxiu."
Gu Wanping smiled and replied to Zhao Hongying, "Initially, I did want Wenyuan to marry a daughter from an aristocratic family. But after I came here and spent some time with Xiuxiu, I felt that I should trust my son's choice. Besides, you raised Xiuxiu very well. I don't think the daughters of aristocratic families are as caring as Xiuxiu. So, if you agree, marrying Xiuxiu to my Wenyuan would be a very good match."
Zhao Hongying heard this, shook He Huaixiu's hand and said, "Hey, sister, to be honest, Xiuxiu is our daughter who came in our old age. We love her very much, but she has never given us any worries and has always been very well-behaved. Although my daughter is not well-educated, she is very honest. I think you should give it more consideration. I don't want you to marry her home on impulse and then make my daughter sad later. This is a situation that a mother doesn't want to see."
Gu Wanping was deeply touched when she heard this and nodded. "I know. I have a daughter myself, and I also hope that the family she marries will treat her sincerely and well, and not let her suffer any grievances. Don't worry, although I am a very strong-willed person, I am very kind to my children, and I will definitely be the best mother-in-law in Kyoto. Don't worry, it's okay. I don't mind Xiuxiu's lack of education. I will ask a teacher to help her improve. As for the management of a large family, when Wenyuan is promoted to Kyoto, I will teach her step by step, and I will definitely not let Xiuxiu feel out of place in Kyoto."
Gu Wanping's words were sincere and heartfelt. He Shoushan and Zhao Hongying looked at He Heihu. He Heihu thought for a long time and nodded.
Gu Wanping didn't notice He Heihu. He Heihu was silently pouring tea for people behind her without saying a word.
Unexpectedly, He Heihu has been observing him all the time, and it seems that He Shoushan is not the head of this family, but listens to He Heihu more.
Gu Wanping took a look and asked, "What is this?"
"Oh, sister, this is my son. Xiuxiu was born in her old age, so there is a big age difference between her and my son." Zhao Hongying explained.
Gu Wanping understood and nodded, "I see."
He Heihu sat down. "Wenyuan's mother, my sister is a bit older than me. After my sister was born, my daughter was born one after another, so I treat my sister as my own daughter. As for the marriage you mentioned, I think we don't need to be so anxious. We can set a slightly later wedding date to give the two people and the two families a chance to change their minds. In case Wenyuan falls in love with a new woman during this process, or you fall in love with a woman from another family, we can just call it a day and not publicize it. This will be good for the reputation of both of us. When the time comes, if neither of us regrets and is still determined to choose each other, then I will naturally prepare the dowry and let my sister marry Wenyuan in a grand ceremony. What do you say?"
After listening to what He Heihu said, Gu Wanping's opinion of the He family completely changed. She originally thought that the He family was so enthusiastic towards her because they thought her daughter was going to marry into a wealthy family. Unexpectedly, He Heihu's words made her feel that the He family was not the kind of family that would try to climb up the social ladder, but rather that they cared deeply about her daughter. She smiled from the bottom of her heart, "Okay, you say, when will it be decided?"
"This requires someone to calculate which day is better." He Heihu was also unsure and spoke.
Gu Wanping nodded and said, "Okay, let's take it slow."
Yi Yami greeted everyone, "The meal is ready, let's eat."
Everyone took their seats, and the two new guests were amazed by Yi Yami's cooking skills and ate a lot of food without realizing it.
