Chapter 484: Chapter 484: Wedding Arrangements Chapter 484: Chapter 484: Wedding Arrangements Gu Changshun called for Wan Fumin.

He then looked behind Wan Fumin, hoping to find Wan Ruyan, but he didn’t see her in the crowd. Remembering that the Magistrate had forbidden Wan Ruyan from coming to the Gu Family Village last time he dealt with her and Gu Changshun, he wasn’t too concerned about not finding Wan Ruyan.

Unable to restrain his eagerness, he smiled and asked Wan Fumin, “Father-in-law, may I ask what your plans are for the marriage between me and Sister Yanyan?”

Wan Fumin still hadn’t recovered from the disgust Gu Changshun gave him, and regardless of what the Wan Family might think, Gu Changshun blurted out, “Father-in-law, I believe that the sooner we can arrange the marriage between me and Sister Yanyan the better. Once it’s settled, we can sooner provide you with grandchildren, can’t we?”

Wan Fumin’s expression stiffened.

At first, Wan Fumin thought Gu Changshun was hardly a suitable match for his daughter Wan Ruyan, but he considered him tolerable when Gu Changshun’s face was not yet scarred.

And not yet pus-filled.

His looks couldn’t be considered handsome but were still bearable. Now, however, Gu Changshun’s appearance was simply too much to bear, with pus-filled boils on his face.

How could such a man become his son-in-law? Gu Changshun’s constant address of “Father-in-law” really irked Wan Fumin, especially when coupled with Mrs. Zhang’s refusal to offer a dowry.

Wan Fumin’s face turned abruptly sullen.

“Stop that. I’m not your father-in-law yet. You and Yanyan aren’t married, so you should still call me ‘Uncle,’ according to tradition!” Wan Fumin corrected Gu Changshun from calling him father-in-law.

Gu Changshun didn’t mind.

“Uncle, what are your plans for the marriage between me and Sister Yanyan?”

Wan Fumin had been planning to agree to the marriage if Mrs. Zhang was willing to provide a dowry, but seeing Gu Changshun like this now, he found it impossible to voice his agreement.

Gu Changshun and his mother, Mrs. Zhang, had discussed it: weren’t the Wan Family asking for a dowry of twenty Silvers? They could feign agreement, settling the betrothal with the Wan Family first and worry about the rest later.

As for the silver,

They could agree to it without actually paying.

After all, the money was in their hands; the Wan Family couldn’t possibly come and snatch it from them, could they? Mrs. Zhang said, “Relatives, my son and I have discussed it, the twenty Silvers you asked for can be arranged. We will gather the sum and deliver it to you soon.”

If Mrs. Zhang had agreed to provide a dowry before today, Wan Fumin might have been pleased, but now, looking at Gu Changshun’s pus-covered face,

Even though Mrs. Zhang agreed to provide the dowry money, Wan Fumin found no joy in it. With the dowry no longer disputed, the Wan Family didn’t linger and left promptly.

After distributing the workers’ wages, Su Yunjin and Gu Ya returned to the Gu household to find that the Wan Family had already come and gone. Tomorrow, Su Yunjin planned to go shopping for new furniture with Gu Ya. Tonight, she intended to visit Mrs. Chu’s room to discuss their plan of gifting the old house to them.

However, before Su Yunjin and Gu Ya could find Mrs. Chu, the eldest sister-in-law, Mrs. Zhang, and Gu Baofu came to them first, even claiming the empty rooms that would be vacated after their move.

“Little brother, sister-in-law, I hear your new house is finished. When you move out later, your eldest brother and I plan to claim these empty rooms. You should clear out soon, so I can tidy up and use it for your eldest nephew Changshun’s wedding.”
