At this time, many young girls married at the age of sixteen or seventeen. Yaoyao was fifteen this year, but it was already the end of the year. She would be sixteen after the New Year.
It seemed that they could indeed prepare for the wedding.
However …
The men thought of their little girl. She was the only daughter in their family!
Was she going to get married just like that?
Was she going to become someone else's?
Who … could bear to do that?
They did not speak. Wen Ruyu sighed. She sat down beside Gu Chonghua and sighed. "I know you can't bear to do that. I can't bear to do that either! But given our family's situation, it's a good thing if Yaoyao gets married, isn't it? "
When they heard this, they became even more silent.
The Gu family was landlords. This was an undeniable fact.
Because of this, their family had been very careful all these years. Their sons and grandsons were all quite capable, but after so many years, none of them had made much progress.
They were all in a mediocre position.
Was it really because they were not capable enough?
No. The children of the Gu family were all very smart and had been taught well from a young age. But because their parents were landlords and capitalists, they had not been able to make much progress.
Their peaceful days seemed peaceful now, but who could guarantee that it would be like this in the future?
They knew the Mo family very well. They had watched Mo Beihan grow up. Originally, they had taken a liking to Mo Beihan, but Yaoyao was still young, so they did not mention it.
But now …
Gu Chonghua sighed and looked at Gu Yunshen. "What do you think?"
Gu Yunshen looked up at the Old Master. "Father, do you think we should agree?"
Gu Chonghua said, "The world is not stable. Anyway, we have already taken a liking to Mo Beihan. It doesn't matter if it's two years earlier or later. It's just an engagement now. After two years, Yaoyao will marry him when she turns eighteen.
"Mo Beihan is doing well outside and has strong connections. His family background is good. His uncle is the leader of the Southern Lake Brigade. Yaoyao is engaged to him. Even if they are not married, if something happens to our family in these two years, we should be able to get Yaoyao out of it!"
This was the most important point.
Whether it was Old Master Gu or Gu Yunshen, they were most worried that the child would be affected.
Gu Yunshen lowered his head. "Let me think!"
Looking at him, the old man knew that he had already agreed in his heart. He just couldn't bear to do it.
That night, Gu Yunshen did not sleep well. He thought about many things, most of which were Gu Qingyao's mother.
So many years had passed, but she still hadn't seen her daughter!
His daughter was about to get married!
New Year's Eve
Today, everyone in the brigade was busy celebrating the Spring Festival, so the atmosphere in the brigade was much livelier. Gu Qingyao got up early. After breakfast, she began to prepare for lunch.
They celebrated the New Year at noon, so lunch was much more sumptuous.
Now that Gu Qingyao was in the Gu Family, they were in a good condition. Without Zhang Xiaohui around, she was in a good mood and prepared to make a few more dishes.
Gu Yunshen had something on his mind and was a little absent-minded. He kept looking at his daughter in a daze.
Seeing her father like this, Gu Qingyao could roughly guess the reason. She pursed her lips. "Father, what's wrong?"
Gu Yunshen was squatting there, preparing the vegetables. When he heard this, he looked down and said, "Nothing."
Gu Qingyao did not speak.
Gu Yunshen paused for a while and looked at Gu Qingyao. "Yaoyao, you will be 16 after the Spring Festival. Have you thought about what you want to do in the future?"
