Gu Jinli and the others didn't speak. Everyone obviously didn't care about this. They just wanted Gu Yumei to get married quickly so as not to be upset by seeing her again.
When the third grandfather saw that everyone was silent, he said: "We have to finish accepting gifts, asking for names, getting married, accepting wedding invitations, asking for dates, and welcoming people in person. When we get married, we have to wait until next year at least. It doesn't count." Its too fast.
The wealthy family and the Wan Xiucai family have only exchanged tokens and invitations, and have only gone as far as asking for names, that is, matching the birth dates of their two children. It will take at least half a year to welcome them in person.
In his heart, the third grandfather also wanted Gu Yumei to get married as soon as possible. This child was ungrateful. Because she beat Xu Wang in the workshop and scolded He Laoguo and the others, Dafu and Dagui went door to door. Apologize to He Laoguo and the others.
A few days ago, the two brothers bought a few taels of silver as a generous gift and went to Wang Yongfu's house to apologize. Wang Yongfu was so stubborn that he did not see them. Later, when the two brothers came to invite him, it was he who put aside his old face and took them there. Only Wang Yongfu met the Wang family.
Xu Wang didn't come out. Because of Sister Mei's words, she now avoided the man when she saw him, for fear of causing any misunderstandings again.
Speaking of this, the third grandfather asked Gu Jinli: "Xiaoyu, what will Wang Xu do in the future? You can't just hide when you see a man. How will you work in the future?"
Gu Jinli didn't expect Mrs. Xu's reaction to be so big at first. Later, Wang Yongfu came to Wang Ma's door to tell her, and she found out that Mrs. Xu had always felt that she was a widow, which was very unlucky, and she was afraid of giving birth to her brother or herself. Her son and Gu Jinli's family brought trouble, and the incident that day was too big. She didn't want to cause any more trouble, so she simply avoided people.
But this is not an option. If you want to work in the workshop, it is impossible not to meet other men.
Gu Jinli said: "She is weak now. I am thinking that before the new workshop is built, let her prepare spices at home, including cloves and cinnamon. Let Gu Yumei fry tofu and let her endure the hardship." It can change her bad temper."
The third grandma agreed very much after hearing this: "Xiaoyu is right. Every time Sister Mei gets into trouble, Dafu and the others will compensate her and apologize. She will be beaten again and then pass. But she doesn't remember beatings, so she has to let her go." She does the hard and dirty work, and then she realizes the hard work, and then she doesnt dare to get into trouble again.
As soon as this idea came up, the third mistress couldn't wait any longer and immediately asked Gu Jinli to go to Gu Dafu's house and call Mrs. Chen and others to talk about this matter now.
Gu Jinli didn't waste any time. He took Brother Cheng's hand and the two siblings went to Gu Dafu's house.
Gu Yumei got her wish and got engaged to Wan Lifang, and now she is looking at the token sent by the Wan family in her room.
The token was a jade paperweight. The jade paperweight given by Wanjia was not only small, but also of average quality. However, Gu Yumei felt that the token was very valuable.
As expected of a scholar, the token he gave me was his knowledge.
Those who eat in the land give a letter to a silver bracelet at most.
Gu Yumei didn't know that although this jade paperweight was made of jade, it was really worthless. The quality of the jade was very poor, and it was made of scraps. It only cost one or two silver at most.
But the token her family gave to the Wan family was quite nice, it was a gold wrench.
Gu Yumei's grandfather's family was well off. When her mother married into the Gu family, Gu Yumei's grandfather specially gave this golden wrench to Gu Yumei's mother to use as something for the bottom of the box.
Because this was the only relic left by Gu Yumei's mother, when she was fleeing from famine, no matter how difficult her family's life was, Gu Dafu was reluctant to sell it and kept it. Now he gave it to the Wan family as a gift. .
Mrs. Chen was still so heartbroken that she couldnt believe it. She said that this was a relic left by her sister-in-law and should be given to her future daughter-in-law. How could she give it to her daughter? If you give this to your daughter, you are sending it to someone else's house. You will never be able to get it back in the future.
But she was just complaining to Gu Dagui. After all, it was Gu Dafu's family's business. As an aunt, she couldn't help it no matter how distressed she was. Gu Dexing also wanted the golden wrench, but he also loved Gu Yumei, so he didn't go to grab it from Gu Yumei.
Mrs. Chen shouted in the main room: "What else are you looking at? You've been looking at it for a long time. Hurry up and put things away. When you get married, the jade paperweight will have to be sent to the Wan family. You are so careless. If you break it, How could it be possible!"
Even if you break the token, there is no need to end the marriage.
After getting engaged, Gu Yumei was in a good mood. Even when Mrs. Chen scolded her, she didn't say anything back. After carefully putting away the jade paperweight, she went to the main room to help prepare spices.
She almost vomited when she saw the bags of ground spices, and complained: "I prepare spices every day, when will it be enough? I smell the spices every day, and I almost vomit."
Mrs. Chen: "How come you don't vomit when you eat every day? If I want you to do some work, just complain. Because your family doesn't have so much money, I haven't beaten you yet, but you complained."
Gu Jinli heard this as soon as he arrived at Gu Dafu's yard and laughed. He made spices every day and felt like vomiting. OK, I'll give you a better job.
Auntie, Third Grandma asked you to take Gu Yumei to my house. If I have something to tell you, come over quickly.
After Gu Jinli finished speaking, without waiting for Chen's reply, he took Cheng Ge'er's hand, and the two siblings went home.
"Xiaoyu, what's going on?" When Chen asked this, Gu Jinli and Gu Jincheng had already walked out of her yard and disappeared.
Ms. Chen had no choice but to tell Brother Fa: "You look after the house at home and close the door. Do not open the door when outsiders come, lest others tamper with the spices. Do you understand?"
Under the bombardment of Gu Jinli's awareness of precautions, several families were very concerned about the spices they brought home. When preparing the spices, only family members could be present, and outsiders were not allowed in.
Gu Defa nodded in response to Mr. Chen.
Chen cursed: "Are you mute? Will you die if you say anything?"
Mrs. Chen has convinced her son, he is like a piece of wood. He hasnt said a few words for a day, and he cant move even after kicking him. If he hadnt been able to work and never mismatched the seasonings, Mrs. Chen would have wanted them all. Do you think there is something wrong with his brain?
Lets go to your third grandmas house. Mrs. Chen called to Gu Yumei.
Gu Yumei didnt want to go: I wont go, thats Gu Jinlis house.
With a bang, Mrs. Chen kicked the stool she was sitting on: "Whether you want to go or not, Xiaoyu has asked you to go with me, how dare you not go? If you don't go, I will go to Wanjia tomorrow and kill you." Tell sister-in-law Wan about the good things you have done, and see if the Wan family will marry you?"
Ms. Chen has recently discovered that Gu Yumei's Achilles' heel is that she also knows that many things she has done are wrong, and she is afraid that these things will be known to the Wan family and the marriage will fall through.
After hearing this, Gu Yumei could only reluctantly get up and follow Chen to Gu Jinli's house.
When the third grandmother saw them coming, she said straightforwardly: "From now on, your family will no longer need to prepare spices. This work will be done by Wang Xu."
