Chapter 178: Fixing The Date (1) (1/2)

At this period, many girls were married at the age of sixteen and seventeen. Yao Yao was fifteen years old this year, but she was going to be sixteen after the Chinese New Year.

It seemed that her marriage could indeed be considered.

However…

These few men all treasured the only little girl in the family.

She would get married soon?

And would belong to another family?

This… How could they be willing to let go?

They did not say anything. Wen Ruyu saw that and sighed. She sat beside Gu Conghua and sighed again: “I know you are reluctant to let her go, and I’m not willing to as well! But in our family’s situation, if Yaoyao gets married, it would be a good thing, isn’t it?”

Upon hearing that, they became more silent.

The Gu family was a landlord family. This was an inescapable fact.

For this reason, their family had been cautious over the years. Several sons and grandchildren had good jobs outside but no significant achievements.

They were all in the middle positions.

Were they not capable enough?

No, all the children in the Gu family were very smart and well-educated. However, due to their parents being the landlord and capitalist, they could not further progress.

Their lives seemed peaceful now but no one could guarantee what might happen in the future.

They knew the Mo family well and they had watched Mo Beihan growing up. They acknowledged Mo Beihan as the best person for Yao Yao, but Yao Yao was still so young. So no one mentioned that.

But now…

Gu Conghua sighed and looked towards Gu Yunshen, “What’s your attitude on this?”

Gu Yunshen raised his eyes and looked at the old man, “Father, do you think we should agree to it?”

Gu Chonghua said: “This world is unstable now. Anyway, we have chosen Mo Beihan. There’s no difference whether they have the engagement now or two years later. Now it is just an engagement. They will only get married two years later when Yao Yao turns eighteen.
