Chapter 355: The Yuan family refused
Chapter 355 The Yuan family refused
Wan Lifang turned his eyes and looked at Gu Yumei, bowing to her: "Hello, Miss Gu."
Gu Yumei blushed, lowered her head slightly, and saluted Wan Li Fangfu: "Master Wan, you are polite."
No matter how fierce she is at home, she is only a fifteen-year-old girl. She also knows that the Wan family came to the house to propose marriage. Now when she sees Wan Lifang, her expression is normal.
The smile on Wan Lifang's face deepened, he got off the mule cart and asked them: "Brother Gu, Miss Gu, are you going to the town?"
Gu Dexing gave Wanli Fang a gift in return and said with a smile: "That's right, the Qiao Qiao Festival is coming. I will accompany my sister to the cloth shop in the town to buy some fabrics to make purses and ask for a favor."
"That's a coincidence. I'm about to go home. Why don't you let me give Brother Gu and Miss Gu a ride." Wan Lifang was good at talking, and his voice was gentle, which made people feel comfortable.
Gu Yumei was stunned: "This is inappropriate."
How can she ride in a mule cart with a foreigner when she has already grown hair?
Gu Dexing also said: "This is too troublesome, Brother Wan, let's just walk."
When he said this, Gu Dexing blushed with shame and anger. His family now didn't even have an ox cart, let alone a mule cart.
Wan Lifang said: "Brother Gu is out of touch when he says this. We are of the same age and are both studying. When we take the scientific examination in the future, we may be on the same list. We should take care of each other. Please don't refuse, Brother Gu."
Then he said to Gu Yumei: "Miss Gu, don't worry, you and Brother Gu will sit in the car, and I will sit on the front board with my servants."
A servant?
Wan Xiucai’s family still has servants, so if she gets married, wouldn’t she be able to become a young mistress?
Gu Yumei was so happy that she tugged on Gu Dexing's sleeves.
Gu Dexing also felt comfortable being flattered by Wan Lifang, so he said: "In that case, let's trouble Brother Wan once."
"Please." Wan Lifang smiled and stepped aside. Maozi took the bench out of his wits and let the Gu Dexing brothers and sisters step on the bench to get into the car.
While lowering the car curtain, Wan Lifang smiled tenderly at Gu Yumei, which made Gu Yumei hastily lower her head in shame.
Wan Lifang did not dare to go too far. After putting down the car curtain, he waited for a while and then said: "Brother Gu, Miss Gu, sit tight, we are leaving."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Xiao drove the mule cart and ran towards the town.
The mule cart ran very fast, and it only took half an hour to reach the door of Gu's restaurant.
Wan Lifang looked at the second shop on the left and saw that Chang Errui was leading the people from the brick kiln to unload green bricks, so he immediately asked Millet to stop.
He got out of the car, raised the curtain, and asked brother and sister Gu Dexing: "Brother Gu, Miss Gu, the Gu's restaurant is here. You should go in first and have a look, and then go to the cloth store to buy fabrics."
Brother and sister Gu Dexing like to go to the shop to check out the shop recently, to satisfy the taste of the young master and young lady of their boss. When they heard this and saw that Millet had parked the car, they nodded and said, "It's time to go and have a look."
Gu Dexing got off the car first. When Gu Yumei got off the car, the bench used to step on suddenly became crooked for some reason. She almost fell, but Wan Lifang held her arm in time: "Miss Gu, be careful."
Gu Yumei blushed so much that she almost bled. She was about to push Wan Lifang away when she raised her head and saw Chang Errui not far away. She paused immediately. After a while, her brows furrowed and her face was filled with disgust.
It's hot today and Chang Errui has to move bricks. He is only wearing a short coat with a cloth towel on his shoulders. He is wearing straw sandals on his feet, looking like a poor and rough man.
Look at Wan Lifang again. He is wearing a crescent-colored gown and a turban on his head. He has a clean face and a suitable smile. He is much better than Chang Errui.
What made Gu Yumei the most angry was that when Chang Errui saw her, he didn't come over to say hello to her. Instead, he looked at her for a while, then turned around and continued to move bricks. "Humph~" Gu Yumei snorted coldly, no longer looking at Chang Errui, nor pushing Wan Lifang away, but was supported by Wan Lifang to get out of the car.
“Thank you, Brother Wan, for sending us brothers and sisters to the town. Why don’t you go sit in the shop and have something to eat.” Gu Dexing said.
Wan Lifang refused: "Brother Gu, there is no need to be so polite. I have to rush back to the private school to help my father read students' articles, so I won't bother you today."
When Gu Yumei heard this, she felt more and more that Wanli Fang was good. If she could help the scholar read students' articles, she must be very knowledgeable. It seemed that Matchmaker Zhou was right. Wanli Fang would definitely be admitted as a scholar next year. If she could If she marries Wan Lifang, she will be a scholar next year.
"In that case, I won't keep Brother Wan. Brother Wan will go slowly." Gu Dexing said goodbye to Wan Lifang and took Gu Yumei into the shop.
Before leaving, Wan Lifang looked at Chang Errui provocatively, but Chang Errui ignored him at all. Wan Lifang felt bored and had to get in the car and go home.
Gu Yumei and Gu Dexing sat in the shop for a while and then left. They were afraid that if they sat for too long, Chu would call them to work.
It's just that Gu Yumei was very unhappy after leaving the shop. She had been sitting in the shop for a quarter of an hour. Chang Errui didn't come in to see her. Did he miss her at all?
Bah!
You don’t care about this girl, and I don’t care about you.
Gu Yumei and Gu Dexing went to the cloth store to buy fabrics and embroidery threads. When they came back, Chang Errui had already left.
…
When Chang Errui returned home, he first took a cold shower to wash off the sweat on his body. After dinner in the evening, he deliberately stayed and said to Yuan Laorong and his wife: "Mom and dad, what happened to the rich uncle's family?" ,forget it."
Yuan Laorong's wife was surprised: "Didn't we agree to wait and see? Why did you suddenly say no?"
Yuan Laorong's wife did not deny Gu Yumei because of what Yuan Xu said, but wanted to wait and see for a while. If the girl's character was good, then they would propose marriage.
Chang Errui said: "My son doesn't like the girls from the rich uncle's family. They are too delicate. My son is a farmer. From now on, he will spend his days farming and moving bricks. If the girls are too delicate, my son will not be able to take care of them."
Yuan Laorong is such a person. Seeing that his second son is determined not to marry the Gu Dafu family, he can't help but ask: "Is there something wrong with the girl's family that you saw?"
Chang Errui shook his head: "The girl is very good, but my son doesn't want to marry someone like that. She is not suitable for him."
Seeing that he was unwilling to say anything, Yuan Laorong had no choice but to give up, but finally asked: "Have you really decided? If you regret it again, it won't work."
Yuan Laorong's wife was afraid that Chang Errui had made an impulsive decision, so she simply said: "Why don't you wait a few more days until you think about it clearly?"
Chang Errui nodded: "Sure, my son will think about it for three more days and tell his parents again after three days."
This is just a stopgap measure that Chang Errui did not want to get entangled with his parents. He was determined not to marry Gu Yumei. He could see clearly today that Gu Yumei disliked him.
He is also arrogant. People look down on him, but he often won't hold on to others.
As for the matter of Gu Yumei riding in the Wan family's mule cart and being supported by Wan Lifang, he didn't want to say more. Since they weren't engaged anyway, Gu Yumei couldn't be considered a cuckold, at most she was a little disgusted.
