Chapter 2177 Taking Care of Hu’s Marriage
Brother Cheng shook his head when he heard this, tutted, and said, "Mom, why are you becoming more and more like the third grandma? If the second sister knows, she will be very upset."
Mrs. Cui glared at him: "What's wrong with being like your third grandma? And this is not superstitious, it's just for peace of mind."
Then he said: "Send those wolves out quickly to raise for a few months, otherwise they will catch hares and take them home to eat, which will destroy our family's sincerity."
After hearing this, Brother Cheng could only nod his head: "Okay, then I'll go out and send a few Sas to Grandpa Ouyang's house and ask him to help feed them for a while. I'll be back before dark."
Ji Sa is the name of the second-generation wolf he raised, which is the first-generation wild wolf, the child of several dogs.
While the eldest brother is not at home, he has to support the family, so he sleeps at home almost every day and no longer stays out overnight.
But if something happened in business, he would go out and deal with it.
Ms. Cui nodded: "Go ahead and ride slowly."
"I know, mother!" Brother Cheng had already run away. After calling to the small group, he went to the stable to fetch two horses. The two of them rode, followed by a group of howling wolves, and ran towards the town.
As soon as he left the end of the village, he met Gu Qingtian who was returning home.
He didn't come back alone, he was also accompanied by Hu Dong's family.
Brother Cheng quickly reined in the reins, turned over and dismounted, and greeted them: "Brother Qingtian, Mr. Hu's family."
Then he asked Gu Qingtian: "Brother Qingtian, didn't you just come back two days ago? Why are you back again? What's the matter?"
After Gu Dalin went to the northwest, Gu Qingtian went to the county shop to help. Not only did he do business in the county shop, but he also did other business. He often traveled to the capital and even crossed the Huai River to Jiangnan to work. He rarely returned to the village.
I just came back two days ago, and now I'm back again. It seems like something is going on.
Then asked him: "Why did Mr. Hu's family come back with you?"
As soon as these words came out, Gu Qingtian suddenly blushed, and soon a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, saying, "It's some private matter."
"Private matters?" Brother Cheng looked at his face, then looked at Mr. Hu's family. He was suddenly startled and asked, "Could it be that Mr. Hu's family has taken a liking to you and wants you to be their son-in-law?"
Gu Qingtian said hurriedly: "Don't talk nonsense. It's nothing. If anyone hears it, it will be bad for the Hu family's girl's reputation."
Brother Cheng bared his teeth and smiled: "Brother Qingtian, look at what you said, you are just asking for it."
Then he said solemnly: "Brother Qingtian, my brother left a message before he went to the capital, saying that you are not young anymore. If you find a good girl, you should settle the marriage. Don't worry too much. Our families are now in a good financial situation. They are not as good as before." It’s different, I can afford a good girl.”
Among the older children of Qin Gu Luotian's family, apart from Luo Huiniang, only Gu Qingtian and Qi Kangming have not yet gotten married, and they are worrying the adults to death.
After hearing this, Gu Qingtian frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.
Hu Dongjia called him: "Brother Tian, how long do you have to wait? Can you leave?"
Gu Qingtian froze and said hurriedly: "It's time to leave."
After saying that, he got into the carriage and asked the driver to drive home.
When Brother Cheng saw this, he knew something had happened. He did not go to the town immediately. He hurried to the pharmaceutical workshop, found the third grandfather and old doctor Wu, and told them about the matter.
Grandpa Qin is not here, he went to Songzi Village.
The third grandfather frowned when he heard this: "What's going on? Hu Dong's family has always been very good to us. Why did Brother Cheng say that when he spoke to Qingtian, he was resentful? What did that boy Qingtian do?"
Old Doctor Wu said: "Don't make random guesses now. You and Qingtian's grandfather are cousins, and they live in the same generation. You are qualified to ask questions. Pack up quickly and go to Qingtian's house to have a look."
Third Grandpa and Dr. Wu were trying dry fermented fertilizer, and planned to send it to Gu Jinli if the effect was good. After hearing this, they quickly responded: "Hey, I'll be there right away."
Then he told Brother Cheng: "Call your Uncle Damu and his wife back."
After saying that, he washed his hands and face, put on some ointment and left... After all, he was going to see Mr. Hu's house, which was so smelly that it was not good for him.
Brother Cheng hurriedly ran to find Gu Damu.
Gu Damu and his wife were in charge of the tofu and spice workshops. After hearing Brother Cheng's words, they didn't dare to neglect and hurried home.
As soon as I entered the gate and walked past the screen wall, I heard Lao Yan's cursing voice: "You careless one, if you don't want to marry, don't mess with other girls. We have been friends with the Hu family for several years. You, you... I beat you to death!"
Immediately afterwards there was a banging sound of wooden sticks hitting people.
But Lao Yan was old and couldn't fight anymore, and he almost fell down.
The third grandmother hurriedly supported her: "Sister-in-law, you have to take care of yourself now, and you can't get angry... first ask Qingtian what he means."
Lao Yan was so tired that after hitting Gu Qingtian with a stick again, he said to Hu Dong's family: "Hu Dong's family, I'm really sorry. Don't worry, Qingtian will definitely marry your youngest daughter."
Mr. Hu frowned when he heard this: "Old aunt, I didn't come here today to force Qingtian to marry my sister Lan, I just wanted to ask for a clear explanation. If the Gu family doesn't want to tell me the reason, that's fine. Then Qingtian shouldn't come to my house again in the future. Door, this matter has been kept secret, no one from the two families is allowed to talk about it outside."
He took out another baggage and said, "Burn these things in front of me, so as not to leave any clues."
Inside were things that Gu Qingtian and Hu Shulan secretly communicated with each other and gave to each other.
Hu Shulan's acquaintance with Gu Qingtian started when Gu Dalin went to the county town to open a shop. Because several families had good relations with Hu Dong's family, Gu Dalin would occasionally take his son to the Hu family for dinner.
Gu Qingtian had known Hu Shulan. A few years later, the two liked each other, but Gu Qingtian was hesitant and never asked his family to propose marriage to the Hu family.
Hu Shulan was also stupid. She never pushed Gu Qingtian, she just waited. It was after she rejected the marriage proposal from her family twice that Hu Dong's couple felt something was wrong, so they sent people to keep an eye on her and caught the two secretly meeting.
Fortunately, both of them had studied and knew the rules. They only met secretly and did not do anything immoral. Otherwise, the Hu Dong family would not have given Gu Qingtian a chance.
...is it really going to stop?
Gu Qingtian was kneeling on the ground with a painful look on his face.
The third grandfather looked at it and realized that he must really like the girl from the Hu family, but he was just too tired of family affairs to ask for marriage, but he asked, "Are you going to never get married for the rest of your life?"
Gu Qingtian is not obsessed with getting married. Anyway, he has a younger brother, and he can leave the matter of continuing the family line to him.
But if he gets married to the girl he likes, he will be a little scared... He is afraid that if he finds his sisters in the future, their affairs will be brought out, causing the Hu family to be embarrassed.
The Hu family is a good family, and Shulan is also a good girl. He doesn't want to lie to them and drag the Hu family into his own quagmire.
When Gu Damu and his wife heard this, they hurried in and said, "It's natural to get married."
He also apologized to Hu Dong's family: "Hu Dong's family, I'm really sorry. Our family failed to educate our children well. Don't worry, he made a mistake. He can't escape a beating, and he will bear the responsibility he deserves." The family will never favor him... If the Hu family still likes him and is willing to marry Miss Hu to him, our family will definitely treat Miss Hu well and prevent her from being wronged again."
