Chapter 174 - 173 Can’t Wait Anymore
The day the Gu Family had agreed upon to propose marriage to the Lei Family had to be postponed due to the disappearance of Gu Youyou.
The girl from the Lei Family was already eighteen, and the family was worried that the Gu Family might change their minds. In the past few days, they had asked Matchmaker Zhang to inquire several times.
With a hint of helplessness, Matchmaker Zhang explained, "Lei Family’s lady, there have been no changes on the part of the Gu Family, and I believe in Old Master Gu’s character. What he has promised, he won’t change, so you can rest assured and just wait for your daughter to get married this time."
"But how much longer do we have to wait? You know my daughter has already been delayed for three years because she was mourning her father. We can’t afford any more delays."
"Oh, that’s not up to me to decide. Haven’t I already told you? Their eldest granddaughter had an accident while picking mushrooms in the mountains. Everyone in the village has gone up to search. Imagine, at this critical juncture, if they were preoccupied with matchmaking for their grandson, what would others think of them?
If the entire village is helping to search, and their own family doesn’t show concern, they would be criticized by their neighbors, wouldn’t you agree? You wouldn’t feel assured marrying your daughter into such a family, would you?"
This lady from the Lei Family didn’t care who had an accident; she was only worried about her daughter who couldn’t wait any longer.
But Matchmaker Zhang had made things so clear that she had nothing more to say, only responding, "Then I must trouble you, Matchmaker Zhang, to visit Lotus Village when you have the time. See if the Gu Family’s eldest granddaughter has been found. If you manage to finalize my daughter’s marriage match, you’ll certainly receive a generous gratitude gift!"
Upon hearing the mention of a gratitude gift, Matchmaker Zhang’s face bloomed like a chrysanthemum, and she repeatedly assured, "I understand, I understand..."
Over at the Gu Family, Gu Feng had been in bed for several days, not until Gu Youyou appeared before him in good health.
