When she first entered the black market, she was in disguise, and her disguise changed every time she came. Over time, she became closer to these few old men and slowly became more open, although she still had her reservations.
Hearing what the two old men said, Gu Qingyao smiled blissfully. “No need. I already have in-laws. After this year… I should be getting married!”
The old men were stunned!
Married?
“Girl, you already have a partner?”
“Mhmm!” Gu Qingyao nodded.
Old Master Yang jumped immediately. “Which bastard stole you away? Tell me, who is he?”
Gu Qingyao’s lips twitched.
In an instant, Old Master Yang, Old Master Sun, Old Master Zhou and the other old men had an extremely negative impression about Mo Beihan whom they had not even met.
This young lady was not from the capital, and her partner was definitely not from the capital. If she gets married and has kids and starts a family, wouldn’t she not have time to come to the capital to play?
So they would not be able to eat all these delicacies ever again in their lifetime?
No no!
This must not happen!
Gu Qingyao said, “He’s from my hometown. We grew up together! We got engaged a long time ago!”
Old Master Sun puffed angrily. “He got engaged to you when you are still underage. He definitely isn’t a good person!”
Old Master Zhou hurriedly added on, “That’s right, that’s right. He grew up with you. He must have persuaded you to be his wife after seeing that you are pretty and cook well. Girl! You must not be cheated! There’s plenty of great youth now. I will introduce them to you!”
Old Master Yang echoed after his friends, “Yes, yes, yes! We know a lot of people. We can introduce them to you.”
While the old man who just came was very reluctant to let Gu Qingyao leave after just meeting her, the way that the other old men tried to retain her made him remark indifferently, “The people you know are all toilet cleaners.”
Old Master Yang glared angrily. “Rubbish. I clearly know many street sweepers too.”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
Everyone: “…”
Gu Qingyao shook her head and ignored the stir by the old men. It looked like they were still very close.
She continued to take out some fine grains from her basket and gave them to these elderlies to hide.
The old men’s argument intensified and Gu Qingyao cut in, “Grandpas, argue later. The food is getting cold!”
Upon hearing that, they immediately stopped, sat down at the table obediently and picked their chopsticks up to begin eating.
It was highly probable that they would not be able to eat such tasty food in the future, so they must eat more now!
Gu Qingyao found it rather funny how they were eating while bantering. It was also through this did she find out about the grudge among these people.
The newly arrived old man was born to the once-famous Meng family. He was very studious and was a scholarly talent.
However, his family only prospered when he was very young. After his family’s downfall, his life was incomparable to the other three old men.
The four of them knew one another since young, and their families were quite close. They could be considered as brothers from the same time period.
Once they reached the age of marriage, all of them fancied the same person, Grandma Meng, who was renowned in the city back then.
Originally, these four brothers pursued Grandma Meng. The young Grandma Meng was the dream lover of many young men, including Old Master Yang, Old Master Sun and Old Master Zhou.
In the end, out of all people, Grandma Meng took a liking to Old Master Meng whose family had fallen, and this frustrated the other three old men!
