Chapter 142 - 141: There’s a Way
"Brother Shunzi, I have it all figured out. Tomorrow, my Brother Dabao will go with Second Uncle to the Lei Family to propose marriage, and the day after tomorrow, you must call the matchmaker to our house, do you understand? You can’t let the person my father finds get ahead, otherwise there’ll really be no chance left."
Wang Shun’s face was a picture of difficulty, as he had already discussed the matter with his family, even found a good matchmaker, and prepared the items needed for the proposal. But, none of his family members were optimistic about it.
Although his parents were still supportive, they couldn’t stand up to the sharp tongues of the aunts and uncles, or the grandparents in the family, who all said that the Gu Family would surely not agree, and that going there would only bring shame.
"Brother Shunzi!"
Seeing him lost in thought, Gu Xiaoqing tugged at the corner of his clothes.
"I..." Wang Shun turned his head back, and then hurriedly gave a simplehearted smile, saying, "Alright, you just relax. Everything needed for the proposal is ready. The day after tomorrow, early in the morning, I’ll come to your door. Our houses are close, I can guarantee no one will be faster than me."
"That’s good! You absolutely can’t be late!" Gu Xiaoqing said with a smile.
"But, what if your parents don’t agree?" Wang Shun said with a worried face, "I’ve heard that your father is considering the son of the Bun Shop in town for you."
