"Okay, whatever you say, I have no use for these, I don't need any skills."
The system became even more anxious after hearing what Song Zhi said, and continued to tempt him: "You can bring these skills back to the modern era. They will be useful in the modern era, and you will have more and more skills."
Song Zhi looked conflicted but was actually delighted in her heart. She had been waiting for these words. She had to fight for the best benefits for herself. It was already frustrating enough that she came to this strange place inexplicably, and now she was asked to work for free!
"Deal." Hearing Song Zhi say these two words, the system breathed a sigh of relief. It had finally dealt with the host, otherwise the system bug might not have been able to be contained this time.
The matter was happily settled.
Song Zhi thought that she had gained the greatest benefit for herself in front of the system, but she did not expect that this was the beginning of the system's careful layout. Now that she has entered the game, how can she gain any benefit?
Outside, Gu Huaijin went to the yard to discuss marriage and going to the northwest later with Jiang's mother.
In the afternoon, just as Gu Huaijin left home to join the army, an uninvited guest came to the Gu family.
"Jiang Jie, I'm so sorry for coming to your house so suddenly today."
"That's polite of you. But if you don't come today, I'll come to see you some other day." Jiang Nan didn't show it on his face, but in his heart he was criticizing a thousand-year-old fox. What was he pretending to be like here?
Sun Lan's heart skipped a beat. She had a bad feeling. Her expression froze as she asked, "What does Sister Jiang mean by this?"
Jiang Nan didn't bother beating around the bush and said bluntly, "You know what happened. Xiao Jin saved Zhizhi from the river. Now the news has spread throughout the compound. This matter must be explained."
"This isn't a good idea. Xiao Jin is already with our Yi Tang..."
"You and I know how the marriage came about. And you agreed when Xiao Jin asked me and his father to go to your house to cancel the engagement. Now you bring up the past again. Are you going back on your word?" Jiang Nan didn't say anything else. He picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip to calm down, and saved some face for the Su family.
Sun Lan's face looked very unhappy. Everyone in her family knew about this matter, and it could even be said that they were all accomplices.
The marriage was indeed planned by their family. The old man in the family saw that it was difficult for Su's father to achieve great things, so he wanted to find a powerful in-law to help him.
The old man and the old man of the Gu family were close friends regardless of age difference. Seeing that the sons and grandsons of the Gu family were so outstanding, he became interested. He knew that the old man of the Gu family had a habit of making random promises when he was drunk, so he took advantage of his drinking to make the old man of the Gu family agree to this marriage.
After Mr. Gu sobered up, he could not remember the specific details clearly. He only knew that he had promised the marriage. He always kept his word and his words were always counted. Mr. Su had expected this.
Although the two children were verbally married afterwards, Mr. Gu became much more distant from their family.
"Is there any room for maneuver in this matter?"
"Sun Lan, Yitang is a good child, and I know she is the most innocent in this matter. If it were me, I would have announced the cancellation of the engagement to the public. It was your family who insisted that not many people knew about the engagement, and that canceling the engagement wouldn't be a good thing for a girl, so we kept it a secret. But now that something like this has happened, it's put our family in a dilemma. In today's world, if a girl loses her innocence, she will be doomed." Then he said meaningfully, "Your family's Lao Su has worked diligently over the years, and the leaders can see it. Where there is bad, there is bound to be good."
Sun Lan walked home in a daze, and seeing her crying daughter, she became even more annoyed: "Why are you crying? Your parents are not dead yet!"
"Mom, how is it? What did Aunt Jiang say?"
"What can I say? They've already discussed the wedding date. It's already been decided."
"Impossible, we two are Grandpa Gu..."
"Enough, don't mention this matter again. When their family came to cancel the engagement, what did you promise me one by one? Have you forgotten? You said that as long as you drag it out and don't let the outside world know that you have cancelled the engagement, you have a way to proceed according to the original engagement. Is it now?" Sun's mother had a ferocious expression, and she was venting more of the anger she had just suffered from Sun Nan.
"Mom." Su Yitang's face was full of disbelief when he saw his mother, who had always been very kind to him, suddenly become so indifferent.
"Go back to your room and rest first. I have something to say to your father." Sun Lan was naturally upset. She had tried her best to get in touch with a family like the Gu family, but she didn't expect that in the end it was all in vain.
