Chapter 2 Moving flowers to join trees, Gu Laifu as a matchmaker

Everyone was talking about it, and there were also many village women who were good friends with Huang. They asked about Dong Chenghu's identity in other words. Huang wanted to give those people a face, but they thought of Gu Laifu and Mrs. Gu in the house, and endured it again and impatiently drove away the good villagers.

The atmosphere in the main hall was very solemn.

Gu Laifu didn't expect that Dong Chenghu looked so honest and so scheming, he said so clearly, but Dong Chenghu pretended to be stupid and kept saying things about the life-saving grace he had done back then. This was clearly the fact that he would not let go of his family.

"Dad, Dong Chenghu doesn't plan to let Pearl go at first sight. We have already agreed to the marriage with Boss Zhou. If he regrets the marriage, Boss Zhou will not let us go. Besides, Pearl's reputation will be ruined in the future!"

Gu Laifu pretended to be pitiful in front of Mr. Gu. Not to mention that, Mr. Gu just took this trick.

He didn't want his granddaughter to suffer with Dong Chenghu. Although he was angry when he learned what Gu Laifu and his wife did, he was relieved. But now they had to give Dong Chenghu an explanation. If Dong Chenghu was not satisfied and then expose what their family did, they might not be able to raise their heads in Caozi Village in the future.

After hearing Gu Laifu's worries, Gu Zhenzhu turned her mind and made a plan.

"Dad, doesn't Dong Chenghu just want a wife? Let's just give him a wife. Anyway, he has never seen me before. Let's talk about a marriage for him?"

Mr. Gu was stunned when he heard this, but Gu Laifu suddenly realized that he praised Gu Zhenzhu for being smart and clever.

but……

Gu Laifu frowned and said, "This marriage is hard to say. Where can we find someone who is willing to marry Dong Chenghu for you?"

There are only these people in Caozi Village, and everyone knows the truth. Who would be willing to marry Gu Zhenzhu?

Gu Zhenzhu touched the pearl hairpin on her head with her hands, her face full of yearning for the Zhou family.

A scheming flashed in his eyes, "Dad, I have a choice here."

The next day, Mr. Gu and Gu Laifu cut two kilograms of meat and brought two pots of wine to Gu Mingde's home.

It happened that both Zhao and Gu Daniu had gone to the field.

Gu Shuixiu was feeding pigs. When she heard the sound from the front yard, she hurried over and opened the door. Seeing that the person was Gu Zhenzhu's grandfather and father, Gu Shuixiu quickly let him enter the house.

"Dad Gu, Uncle Lai Fu, there is nothing good at home, so you just need some water and I'll call Daddy in the house."

Mr. Gu looked at Gu Shuixiu's back, and a hint of unbearance flashed in his eyes. He pulled Gu Laifu's clothes and whispered: "Laifu, I think you'd better forget it. Let's think of other solutions!"

"Dad! You're here, it's too late to say this now!" Gu Laifu couldn't let Dad Gu leave. This is a big matter that concerns the whole family. Gu Laifu made up his mind to make Gu Mingde's family nod.

Gu Shuixiu helped Gu Mingde into the yard.

Gu Laifu quickly stepped forward enthusiastically to support Gu Mingde, "Brother Mingde, have you been getting better recently? If you don't get better yet, I can send you to the town to have a look."

Gu Mingde quickly waved his hand, sat down with Gu Shuixiu's support, and coughed and said, "It's nothing, it's just an old problem. It's up to the doctor to pay more. What's the important thing for uncle to come here today?"

No one comes to Gu Mingde's family on weekdays. Mr. Gu and his son are cutting their flesh and delivering wine. There must be something big.

Dad Gu laughed twice, his eyes turning to Gu Laifu beside him.

Seeing this, Gu Laifu immediately grinned and said, "Brother Mingde, I have good news to tell you today. That's it..."

After Mr. Gu and his son left, Gu Mingde continued to sit in the yard without moving, as if he was thinking.

Gu Shuixiu had already heard about the purpose of Mr. Gu and his son in the kitchen. Now it depends on Gu Mingde's meaning.

In the evening, when Zhao and the other two returned home, they saw Gu Mingde sitting in the yard early and dinner was also on, and they felt suspicious.

After hearing what Mr. Gu and his son said, Zhao fell silent.

After dinner, Zhao helped Gu Mingde back to the room and took advantage of the time to wash his feet and said, "Master, what do you mean?"

Gu Mingde sat on the bed and thought to himself, and after a long time he sighed, "Shui Xiu is a good child, but the situation in our family is really..."

Gu Mingde wiped his tears and continued, "I also want Shuixiu to marry into a good family, so she doesn't have to suffer such hardships anymore, but our family can't even take out the dowry now, and I'm afraid they won't look down on us. My uncle said that person today, named Dong Chenghu, I've heard of it before.

The Dong family fled to Qingping Mountain as a hunter. When Dong Chenghu's father was alive, he heard that he had some skills, so he took root in the mountains. However, we have never been to the deep mountains, and we don't know what the situation of the Dong family is.

If Dong Chenghu is a good person, we can also consider it."

Zhao paused his hand and responded in a low voice. He had no objection to Gu Mingde's intention. He waited for the room with the foot washing water and leaned against the corner of the wall and cried.

After all, Gu Shuixiu was born from ten months of pregnancy. Now she is going to marry into the mountains. How can she bear it if she becomes a mother?

The next day, Gu Shuixiu got up early in the morning and didn't hear the familiar call from Zhao.

Gu Shuixiu felt strange when she went out. She looked around and finally found Zhao's figure in the vegetable field.

When Zhao saw Gu Shuixiu, he said warmly: "Breakfast is hot in the kitchen pot. Go to have breakfast first and then work hard."

Gu Shuixiu was shocked and looked up at the sky, complaining in her heart. Could it be that the sun came out from the west today? Or did Zhao change his nature?

At night, Gu Shuixiu finally knew the reason for Zhao's abnormality today.

Gu Mingde directly announced at the dinner table that he would marry Gu Shuixiu to Dong Chenghu.

When Gu Daniu and Gu Erniu heard that Dong Chenghu was a hunter and were still in the mountains, they were the first to object and even made a decision on the spot.

Zhao immediately turned his face down.

"You are capable now! You dare to talk to your parents like this! Today I just told you about this matter. Da Ya will clean up and go out in two days."

Zhao did not dare to look at Gu Shuixiu faced him when he said this. Maybe it was Gu Shuixiu's clear eyes that made her feel guilty, or maybe she was afraid to face Gu Shuixiu.

In short, this marriage was under the strength of Gu Mingde and Zhao, and Gu Shuixiu and others did not even have to speak.

Gu Shuixiu was speechless and cried secretly when she returned to her room. She had been very strong during this period, but at this time she realized that she really couldn't stand it anymore. She had no human rights in this evil feudal society.

No matter what Gu Shuixiu thinks, life will pass day by day.

In the end, it was the day she got married.
