Reborn as a farmer's favorite, Koi sweet wife super lucky husband

It was difficult for them to even maintain basic food and clothing, so how could they care about their daughter's feelings if they had the chance to marry her off in exchange for some much-needed betrothal gifts? They only wanted to hold the wedding in a grand manner, which completely cut off Gu Qing's other thoughts.

The knocks on the door became louder and louder, and each knock seemed to hit Gu Qing's heart. She realized that escape was not the solution after all, so she simply straightened her back, opened the door, and prepared to face it directly. She stated her thoughts and conditions openly, hoping that the matchmaker would give up on her own after understanding her determination.

With the sound of the door hinge creaking, Gu Qing appeared in front of everyone. Mother Wu twisted her ear impatiently, her voice filled with anxiety: "Girl, why are you still dawdling? Things have come to this point, don't make trouble for me, go meet that person properly, even if it's for the Gu family, you should give an explanation."

Xie Di hurried in with hot water in her hands. When she saw Gu Qing, she was eager to introduce her to Hongniang: "This is our little sister. Look at her pretty face. Luo the butcher will definitely like her when he sees her."

Hongniang looked at Gu Qing carefully and was secretly surprised.

In this remote village, it is indeed rare to find a girl with such beauty. From her temperament and maintenance, it can be seen that her family has spent a lot of effort in cultivating her.

In the past, Luo the butcher was always picky about this and that, simply because he disliked those women because they were either plain-looking or worried about their inability to bear children.

Gu Qing, with her beautiful appearance and well-proportioned figure, is a suitable choice for Luo the butcher to marry.

However, Gu Qing was disgusted with the feeling of being judged by others, especially when she thought that she could have pursued a better life, but now she could only condescend to marry a butcher and end her youth hastily. She couldn't help but feel unprecedented resistance in her heart.

"May I ask what is the family situation of Mr. Luo, the butcher? How much land does he own? Does he run any other shops?"

Gu Qing's series of questions made Hongniang stunned. She muttered to herself, we are all from the countryside, how many families can have such good conditions?

Even if there are any, they probably won't come to the countryside to find a spouse, but will choose to go to the town to look for a more suitable partner.

Wu's mother was afraid that Gu Qing's words would ruin the marriage, so she quickly stopped him, "What nonsense are you talking about! Marriage is always arranged by parents, and the matchmaker's words are final. These questions should be asked by me, and you have no right to interrupt."

Hongniang's face darkened slightly, and her words became a little sharper: "Oh, although you are of ordinary origin, you have high standards. No wonder you haven't found a marriage yet. Xie Di, I came here because we are from the same village. If this girl is so ungrateful, I won't waste my breath and will take my leave now."

Xie Di hurriedly stepped forward to stop Hongniang who was about to leave: "Hongniang, calm down. This girl was almost promised to a town official as a concubine a while ago, so it is inevitable that she is a little arrogant. Please don't take it to heart. However, don't worry, my mother-in-law has the final say in this matter. Don't be angry if she doesn't say it."

The matchmaker then slowly sat back in her chair, but there was a hint of contempt in her eyes when she looked at Gu Qing again.

Her many years of matchmaking career have allowed her to meet all kinds of people. She has long been accustomed to those girls who dream of becoming rich and famous, but the endings of those stories are all heartbreaking.

"My child, listen to what your aunt says. Marriage is nothing more than finding a companion to live with. Instead of chasing those illusory dreams, it is better to live a down-to-earth life. Although Butcher Luo is not as rich as the wealthy families in town, he has a skill. How could he let you suffer from hunger and cold?"

"Yes, Qing'er, you have to be obedient and stop having these random thoughts all day long."

Mother Wu stared at Gu Qing with a stern gaze, and she would not allow her to have any objection to this matter.

Once the marriage is finalized, she must be dragged to the wedding venue even if it means force.

"Mother, marriage is like wearing shoes. Only you know whether it fits you or not. I will not marry Luo the Butcher. You can make your own choice."

Gu Qing tried to turn around and go upstairs to his room, but unexpectedly his wrist was grabbed by Wu's mother.

Then, a crisp slapping sound rang out in the air, as if freezing all the noise in an instant.

Gu Qing covered his burning cheeks with disbelief in his eyes: "Mom, you hit me?"

This sentence was so soft that only he could hear it, but it was like a huge rock falling into a calm lake, stirring up waves.

"Enough of your fuss. You have to see if there is anyone in reality who can fulfill your dreams of becoming a rich woman and living a good life. If no one comes to propose marriage today, we will wait for a day. If no one is interested after a year, why not wait another year? I have worked hard to raise you, and I don't dare to expect you to give back to the family, but at least, you can't let this family fall into more trouble because of you. You know the situation at home very well. If it is really for the good of this family, you should agree to this marriage. Otherwise, don't blame us as cruel parents in the future!"

Mother Wu's words were like a heavy stone weighing on Gu Qing's heart, word by word, filling her heart with indescribable grievances and helplessness.

However, unlike Ran He, who has a strong character and dares to break with his family, Gu Qing lacks that kind of ruthlessness and she cannot break away from the blood connection with her family.

If she is really as resolute as Ran He, how should she cope with the future and how should she gain a foothold in this world?

As the middleman of this marriage, Xie Di stood aside, her face full of embarrassment and difficulty.

She was a well-known matchmaker in the area within a few miles. It was not easy to get her to take action, but she didn't expect that she was almost driven away by Gu Qing's stubborn attitude.

"Gu Qing, you have to understand the priorities of things. This important matter of marriage is not something you can decide on your own."

Wu Younian sat on the doorstep, holding the pipe in his mouth, the sparks flickering. He remained silent and just took a deep puff of the smoke.

In his old opinion, once a girl reaches the marriageable age, she should find a good family to marry. If she keeps delaying until she becomes a so-called "old maid", the Gu family will probably become a laughing stock among the neighbors in this small world of Fushan Village.

"If you two have made up your mind, I will bring the man's people over tomorrow to meet you and discuss the details of the marriage."

This experienced matchmaker, who has gone through many ups and downs, knows very well that the one who really holds the decision-making power in this marriage is Wu's mother, not her emotionally volatile daughter Gu Qing.
