Rebirth: Divine Doctor, Sweet Wife

Chapter 178: Fixing The Date (1)

At this period, many girls were married at the age of sixteen and seventeen. Yao Yao was fifteen years old this year, but she was going to be sixteen after the Chinese New Year.

It seemed that her marriage could indeed be considered.

However…

These few men all treasured the only little girl in the family.

She would get married soon?

And would belong to another family?

This… How could they be willing to let go?

They did not say anything. Wen Ruyu saw that and sighed. She sat beside Gu Conghua and sighed again: “I know you are reluctant to let her go, and I’m not willing to as well! But in our family’s situation, if Yaoyao gets married, it would be a good thing, isn’t it?”

Upon hearing that, they became more silent.

The Gu family was a landlord family. This was an inescapable fact.

For this reason, their family had been cautious over the years. Several sons and grandchildren had good jobs outside but no significant achievements.

They were all in the middle positions.

Were they not capable enough?

No, all the children in the Gu family were very smart and well-educated. However, due to their parents being the landlord and capitalist, they could not further progress.

Their lives seemed peaceful now but no one could guarantee what might happen in the future.

They knew the Mo family well and they had watched Mo Beihan growing up. They acknowledged Mo Beihan as the best person for Yao Yao, but Yao Yao was still so young. So no one mentioned that.

But now…

Gu Conghua sighed and looked towards Gu Yunshen, “What’s your attitude on this?”

Gu Yunshen raised his eyes and looked at the old man, “Father, do you think we should agree to it?”

Gu Chonghua said: “This world is unstable now. Anyway, we have chosen Mo Beihan. There’s no difference whether they have the engagement now or two years later. Now it is just an engagement. They will only get married two years later when Yao Yao turns eighteen.

“Mo Beihan is quite influential and has enough contacts. His family has a good identity and his uncle is Nanhu Brigade’s leader. If they’re engaged, Yao Yao would be protected even if something happens to our family in the next two years.”

That was the key point.

Both of them were always worried about how their family identity might affect the children.

Gu Yunshen lowered his head, “I’ll think about it!”

Old Master knew that Gu Yunsheng had already compromised. It was just that he was not able to let Yao Yao leave the family.

Gu Yunshen did not sleep properly tonight. He was contemplating about everything, especially Gu Qingyao’s mother.

She had not seen her daughter all these years.

And her daughter would be married soon.

On the eve of Chinese New Year.

On this day, everyone in the brigade was busy celebrating the New Year. The atmosphere in the brigade was much more lively. Gu Qingyao got up early, and after breakfast, she began to prepare lunch.

They celebrate the Chinese New Year at noon here, so lunch was much more scrumptious.

The Gu family’s living standard improved with Gu Qingyao. Without Zhang Xiaohui, she was in a good mood and decided to make more dishes.

Gu Yunshen was still contemplating many things and was not focused. He stared at his daughter in a trance.

Gu Qingyao could figure out the reason behind his father’s abnormal behavior.

“Dad, what’s wrong.”

Gu Yunshen was squatting on the ground and picking the vegetables.

“Nothing.” He looked down and said.

Gu Qingyao did not reply.

Gu Yunshen paused for a while and looked at Gu Qingyao, “Yao Yao, you will be sixteen after this New Year. Have you thought about your future?”
