Mrs. Gu sighed. She was always worried that if a woman was too strong, her son would suffer in the future. However, her husband and son had made their decision, so she did not object.
Objection is of no use.
Gu Changsheng is getting engaged, and everyone in the Gu family is busy. Gu Changde accompanies Gu Changsheng to prepare the betrothal gift.
Although Xia Qianqian's family was small, Gu Changde and his wife Liu took the initiative to prepare a betrothal gift according to the standard they had set when proposing marriage - that was already the highest standard in Pingning Town, but Gu Changsheng felt it was not enough, so he paid for it out of his own pocket.
Now is just the beginning, he has to keep a low profile in the countryside. When he comes to Beijing and officially marries her in the future, he will definitely give her a grand wedding!
However, there was one thing he didn't know whether to hand over.
Gu Changsheng took out their wedding ring from the space - the five-carat diamond sparkled. This was the wedding ring he had made for her. She had returned it to him on the day of their divorce.
Will she be surprised or shocked when she sees the wedding ring tomorrow
I tilted my head and saw his handsome face in the bronze mirror.
Gu Changsheng walked over, took pictures carefully, and then silently put the wedding ring away.
Forget it, let him keep the wedding ring first, so as not to scare her away.
It would be troublesome if she started to worry about him being Gu Yanjing's ancestor tomorrow.
… …
Xia Qianqian is getting engaged, this is a big deal. It is reasonable to inform the Xia family.
Qin took the initiative to tell the Xia family about this. The old Xia family was happier than she was. The next morning, Grandma Xia and Yang changed into new clothes and came to prepare. They were busy steaming cakes and frying peanuts and melon seeds.
Xia Qianqian actually wanted to keep a low profile, but she couldn't resist the enthusiasm of her grandparents, so she had to let them do what they wanted.
Everyone in Yangliu Village knew that Xia Qianqian and Gu Changsheng were getting engaged today. Whether they had anything to do or not, they all came to Xia Qianqian's house, waiting to share in the good fortune and eat the wedding candies and fruits.
"Sister, are you going to marry Young Master Gu?" Xia Yunyun asked in a baby voice, worry written all over her face.
Xia Qianqian blushed and whispered, "My eldest sister is still young. She is only engaged and will get married in a few years."
"Now that the eldest sister is married, will she still care about us?" Xia Yunyun asked. With the eldest sister around, they have good food, drink and shelter. If the eldest sister leaves with someone else, won't they be hungry and cold again
"Pfft, you're worrying about that!" Xia Qianqian was amused by Xia Yunyun and touched her face lovingly, "Don't worry, big sister will always take care of you. Big sister will also take you to Beijing and live in a big house!"
"I'm so scared. I'm so afraid that big sister won't want us anymore." Xia Yunyun patted her chest, obviously very scared.
Xia Qianqian smiled, but her heart felt bitter.
The eldest sister is like a mother, how could she abandon them
Soon, the sound of gongs and drums came from the village entrance, and someone ran over and said, "Here he comes, Young Master Gu is here! So many gifts! Sixteen loads at least!"
"Wow, sixteen loads of betrothal gifts! Xia Qianqian, I'm afraid your family can't keep all that!"
Grandma Xia smiled with wrinkles on her face: "It doesn't matter, our house is spacious enough!"
If there’s not enough space here, we can put it in the old house!
"Tsk!" Aunt Liu rolled her eyes at Grandma Xia and reminded Xia Qianqian, "There are a lot of things here today, so you have to look carefully. Others are trying to take advantage of the situation."
"I know, they dare not." Xia Qianqian smiled, her heart beating faster and faster, her eyes and brows were full of happiness.
The sound of joy was getting closer, and the Gu family’s carriage could already be seen!
