Seeing that Gu Ruotong is one year older after the Chinese New Year, although she is still of marriageable age, it is not that she cannot survive another year or two.

But the women in the family are meant to endure hardships and become enemies. If there is a suitable one, it is always better to get married early than to stay at home.

Mrs. Yin had a sad look on her face every day, and Su Xiaomu had no choice but to ignore it even if she wanted to.

Gu Ruotong watched her mother work hard for her every day.

After what happened to Luo Xiucai, she originally lost interest in the marriage, but she never found a suitable opportunity to talk to Yin.

But now, after seeing her mother getting more and more sad, Gu Ruotong felt that she could no longer remain silent, and she had to talk to her mother about something.

"Mom, you don't have to go to such trouble to find a husband for me. After this incident, few men from all over the country are really willing to marry me, and..." Gu Ruotong lowered his head and sighed, "Actually, in our village

I don’t even know a few men here who are about my age, and I have no feelings for them even if I’ve met them, let alone the people from other villages?”

The more Gu Ruotong thinks about what Su Xiaomu said to her, the more she feels that she is right.

Marriage is not a trivial matter. Either you don't get married, or you marry someone you are really satisfied with.

"You are still young..."

Mrs. Yin felt that her daughter was in a daze, otherwise how could she say such words as "love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love"?

"Getting married does not necessarily mean that two people like each other. Most of them are arranged by their parents. Parents are all for the good of their children. We will not harm you."

Mrs. Yin taught Gu Ruotong sincerely, but Gu Ruotong couldn't listen to a word at this time.

She no longer believed whatever Yin said and did not remain silent as before.

"How are you doing, mother?"

Gu Ruotong asked Yin Shi seriously. She actually already had the answer in her heart, but she still wanted to hear Yin Shi answer her, "You and your father are matchmakers appointed by your parents. In all these years, have you never regretted marrying him?"

"

Gu Ruotong knew very well how the Yin family lived at home.

In the fifteen or sixteen years she has been growing up, she has seen more than once that Mrs. Yin was unable to stand up straight and speak in the Gu family because she had not given birth to a son.

Grandma was partial to her third uncle and was not very kind to her father, let alone their children.

Compared to his two younger brothers Gu Ruochen and Gu Ruochuan, Gu Ruotong felt that she and Gu Ruonan were more like the transparent people in the family.

People rarely see them, and rarely think of them actively.

In the eyes of this grandmother who doesn't even love her grandson very much, her granddaughter is even less worth mentioning.

Although I have never abused them, I have never shown any tenderness.

"Why do you regret it?" Mrs. Yin didn't understand what her daughter meant, "Do you think your father treated your mother badly?"

"But I hope to be like my little aunt. If I want to get married, I will marry someone who is as loving as her and my third uncle. If the marriage is not good, I would rather not marry. I am also a living person. Why should I go to other people's homes to be tortured?

"

Gu Ruotong has now completely looked away from the matter of getting married.

In the past, she could accept her parents' orders to be a matchmaker, but now she can certainly accept her family's arrangements.

But as long as there is a little bit that he can strive for, Gu Ruotong doesn't want to give up.

What's more, to be fair, apart from Su Xiaomu and Gu Jingcheng, no one's marriages were worthy of envy and concern for her.

Grandma and grandfather...for so many years, it has been the woman who takes charge of the outside and the man who takes care of the house. Grandma takes care of all the big and small things in the family.

Everyone in the village envied his grandfather for finding a hard-working wife who could help him take care of the family business and take care of the children.

They also all envied their grandmother for finding a quiet grandfather, living her life honestly at home, and never thinking about anything she shouldn't have.

But they don't know that all the responsibilities that should be borne by men have been placed on the shoulders of women. This is not something to be envied in the first place.

As for the second aunt and the second uncle, there is nothing wrong with them having a better relationship than her father and mother, but even if they have a good relationship, they may not have any love between a man and a woman.

Mrs. Yin was shocked by what Gu Ruotong said now.

Is she already thinking about these little loves at such a young age?

If there is no love, then there will be no marriage. How can there be such a truth in the world?

Mrs. Yin didn't know how to look back at Ruotong. She stumbled and couldn't speak for a long time.

And Su Xiaomu... happened to observe the whole process.

To be honest, she didn't have any voyeuristic desire, she just felt thirsty and wanted to come out for a drink of water.

But why do everyone think she and Gu Jingcheng are in love?

Could it be that their acting skills are really that good? Have they deceived everyone in their lives?

It shouldn't be.

Su Xiaomu held a skeptical attitude, took another gulp of water, and then slowly returned to the house.

Gu Ruotong's affairs came to an end, and many relatives from the Gu family came to pay New Year's greetings.

It was also at this time that Su Xiaomu realized that the time for New Year greetings was also particular.

As long as the relatives of the Gu family can come in to give gifts and have meals, they are all here for Gu Jingcheng.

On the one hand, I wanted to congratulate him on winning the examination, and on the other hand, I heard that he had injured his leg and came to express his condolences and worry.

Of course, Su Xiaomu was skeptical whether he was really worried that his body was damaged and needed to take good care of him, or whether he was worried that he would not be able to go to the Spring Festival this year to honor his ancestors.

On such occasions, other than serving tea and water to these relatives, the daughters-in-law at home have no chance to sit at the table and chat with them about household matters.

So Su Xiaomu sat in the house with several sisters-in-law and ate snacks. She didn't know any of these relatives, so there was no need to gossip with them.

Of course, there is another more important reason, which is that Su Xiaomu is so cute. She has never heard of these delicacies that can only be eaten during the New Year, such as fried rice cakes and sugar-oiled fruits.

Su Xiaomu enjoyed eating and was also happy listening to the gossips of her two sisters-in-law.

Logically speaking, this day should pass in such a leisurely manner, but unexpectedly, among the people at the table outside, the conversation turned to Su Xiaomu.

An old man who looked older than Mr. Gu immediately asked Li Shi when Su Xiaomu would have a baby.

When Ms. Li heard the elders in her family asking this question, of course she couldn't just prevaricate it like ordinary people.

She herself had thought about this question many times and quietly asked the young couple in private.

As a mother, she still had to listen to what Gu Jingcheng said.

Now is the time for Gu Jingcheng to study hard. It is important to continue the family lineage, but a bright future is in front of him and he must not delay it.
