Gu Qingyao did not have the same struggles as him. She had always thought that Mo Beihan had waited for her for such a long time and definitely could not wait to marry her, so Gu Qingyao had always believed that her wedding would be in the coming spring.
The hometown was still the same as before. However, this time that she was back, Gu Qingyao realized that her grandparents were very emotional, so she immediately asked her father about it.
Gu Yunshen was still as refined as she remembered. Even after laboring in the countryside for so many years, which left a trace of the vicissitude of life, this instead made his distinguished and scholarly aura more attractive!
“There’s good news from your Eldest Uncle. Your eldest brother accomplished something great recently and seemed to have gained credit for it. This is a great thing and has a large impact. It will definitely be beneficial to your eldest brother in the future.”
It was vague but Gu Qingyao understood.
No wonder she received news back in the capital that her eldest brother had sent a letter to inform the cancellation of the wedding as he was on an assignment and had to postpone the wedding!
It was indeed a major assignment, otherwise, Eldest Brother would not initiate to postpone the wedding
The times were tough, and everyone was trying their best to survive. Eldest Brother’s family went to the northeast, and if they wanted to come back to a place that they were familiar with, they had to grab onto any chance, no matter how small, and work hard. Moreover, it was evident that the chance that Eldest Brother got was not an ordinary one.
Gu Qingyao was delighted to hear that!
That was great!
Gu Yunshen was rather joyous that his precious daughter was back and laughed every day. His emotions were fully expressed through the smile on his face. There was no need for words.
However, all of this disappeared when Mo Beihan came back for the new year!
Seeing the passion in the brat’s eyes as he looked at his daughter, Gu Yunshen suddenly thought of how his daughter would be 18 after the new year and the brat before him would marry his daughter.
Gu Yunshen was in a bad mood immediately!
He raised his daughter with much difficulty and felt that she had not even grown up and was still a kid!
But she could already marry now?
Furious, Gu Yunshen wanted to throw Mo Beihan out.
Mo Beihan was confused. The new year was coming so he was considered half a son-in-law already, right!
What was wrong with giving some gifts when he came back from another city?
Why was his father-in-law unhappy?
Gu Fangting was watching by the door and laughed when she saw the look of confusion on Mo Beihan’s face!
Gu Yunshuang came over and hit her head. “What are you laughing at?”
Gu Fangting looked up and grinned at her mother. “Mother, I saw Young Uncle chasing future brother-in-law out as though he was an enemy!”
Gu Yunshuang was taken aback!
Gu Fangting laughed even harder. “I heard Young Uncle mumbling just now. He said something about his daughter growing up? This young brat is snatching away?”
Gu Yunshuang: “…”
Yao Yao would be 18 after the new year and would be able to marry then!
Looking at Mo Beihan, he probably could not wait any longer!
Gu Fangting chuckled deviously. “Mother, when Elder Sister marries next year, will Young Uncle beat brother-in-law up?”
Gu Yunshuang: “…”
Patting her head again, she said, “Go and study. What do you know at such a young age?”
Gu Fangting lifted her chin. “Why wouldn’t I know? I know a lot!”
“Who taught you these?”
“Brother Jiang Xun!”
Gu Yunshuang’s brows arched up. “According to seniority, Jiang Xun should call you Aunt!”
Gu Fangting laughed. “When Grandma Jiang was here, she said that there was no need for Brother Jiang Xun and me to be so clear about seniority and that many times, seniority in the family is according to the male side. Brother Jiang Xun is one generation younger than me because of his aunt.
“According to his father and grandfather’s seniority in the family, he can be said to be in the same generation as me!”
