Chapter 138: Chapter 137 What kind of wife do you want?

In the fields, the other members of the Gu Family saw the matchmaker chattering away to Gu Feng from a distance, but they were too far away to hear anything.

Gu Er asked Gu San, "What do you think Dad is talking about with the matchmaker? They’ve been at it for so long and still haven’t finished. Are we still supposed to work or what?"

Gu San replied irritably, "What else could it be? It’s about Dabao’s marriage, of course!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Er objected, "How do you know it’s about my Dabao’s marriage? Maybe it’s about your Erya’s. Didn’t your wife say just the other day that you should settle Erya’s marriage early, before the autumn harvest?"

When he heard that, he sneered for quite a while.

Gu San squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Second brother, how do you know what my wife tells me?"

Gu Er was startled and looked away unnaturally.

Could he tell Gu San that he had been eavesdropping by the wall?

It wasn’t really his fault; Gu San and his wife were such schemers, whispering to each other all day long in their room. The eldest couple had passed away, Youyou was married off, and it was just the two brothers in the house now. He had to guard against him, didn’t he?

"I... Our houses are separated by just a wall, and your wife has such a loud voice. You think I want to listen?"

Having yelled at Gu San, Gu Er moved to the other side to work!

Gu Dabao looked at his dad, then at his uncle with a gloomy face, and finally picked up his tools and went over to his dad’s side.

"Dad, Mom said she wanted to find me a wife from the town. What if Grandpa arranges someone from the village for me?"

Gu Er was taken aback, looked up at his eldest son, and chuckled, "So do you want to marry a girl from the town or one from the village?"

Gu Dabao thought for a moment and replied, "From the village!"

Gu Er looked at his son with some surprise and asked, "Don’t you want a pretty wife from the town? What’s so good about village girls, ugly and crude like your mother!"

Blushing, Gu Dabao said, "But Grandpa says village folks are honest and can work in the fields!"

"Hey, you silly boy!" Gu Er lifted his hand in exasperation and smacked Gu Dabao on the head, muttering angrily, "Are you stupid? If you marry a girl from the town, why would you have her work in the fields? Does our family lack fieldworkers? She would bring a dowry, and we’ll give her light tasks to do. Once you have a wife, you’ll forget about your mother, no, your father, and won’t bear to make her work at all!"

Gu Dabao, with a head covered in mud, asked, "So should I listen to Grandpa or Mom?"

"Of course, you should..." Gu Er turned his head and saw that Gu Feng and the matchmaker seemed to be having a great time talking; the deal was undoubtedly going through.

The matchmaker always emphasized a suitable match, unless there were specific requests; if neither party had any, they would follow her lead, which likely meant the other party was from the village.

Gu Feng, the head of the family, was in charge. Even if the mother made a fuss, it wouldn’t change anything if he had already agreed.

He sighed deeply and shook his head, "Just let it be..."

Gu Dabao: "..."

After a lot of persuasion, the matchmaker finally convinced Gu Feng.

In the past, due to unpleasant relations with the Lin Family, he had considered sending the children to private school, but the Gu family weren’t made for studying; the children were unwilling to continue after just a few days.

Considering his family had been farmers generation after generation, maybe it was just their fate, so he never forced the issue.
