Chapter 192 Meant to Be Together
"I knew that they were just talking nonsense! If they dare to gossip again, I'll tear their mouths apart!" Mrs. Jiang said angrily.
Jiang Chunxi nodded crazily, "Yes! Absolute nonsense!"
Mrs. Jiang snorted, "A fly never bites a seamless egg. You should also pay attention to your words and deeds. If I heard any rumors about you, I will be the first to teach you a lesson!"
Lowering her head, Jiang Chunxi replied in a low voice, "I know. I will stay away from him from now on."
If Guo Ruowu invited her to his house again, she would not go!
That man was weird. Every time Jiang Chunxi saw him, her heart would beat very fast, and even her little face would blush, as if she was sick.
Mrs. Jiang saw that her daughter was sincere, so she finally moved on.
At least that was what Jiang Chunxi had thought. But the next morning, an unexpected guest came to their house.
It was Guo Ruwu. He came to the door with betrothal gifts and a matchmaker, saying that he wanted to marry Jiang Chunxi.
Hearing this, Jiang Chunxi was surprised and opened her mouth wide. Mrs. Jiang glared at her with a cold face. "Go to your room! I'll go out to have a look. Wait and see how I'll punish you when I come back!"
Jiang Chunxi curled her lips and kept all the grudges on Guo Ruoyu.
Mrs. Jiang looked at the betrothal gifts in the yard and found that there was even a pair of goose inside.
Although she was surprised, she didn't express it on her face. "What do you want?"
The matchmaker smiled and said, "Your excellent daughter has attracted many suitors. Guo Ruowu doesn't have any elder, so he invited me to come and ask for your permission. I think they are well matched. If they can make it, they must be a heaven-made match."
A twenty-year-old man wanted to marry her fourteen-year-old daughter. Surely Mrs. Jiang felt uncomfortable.
"My daughter is still young, and I don't want her to get married at this age. You can go back with your things!" She said unreservedly and asked them to leave.
Seeing Mrs. Jiang took a tough stance, matchmaker Li felt helpless and turned to look at Guo Ruowu subconsciously.
Although Guo Ruowu was rejected, he didn't show any anger on his face. His personality alone would make him a good choice for son-in-law.
The matchmaker couldn't understand what Mrs. Jiang was thinking. Guo Ruowu was a good man, but Mrs. Jiang didn't approve, she really didn't know what kind of man Mrs. Jiang would find for Chunxi.
She had been a matchmaker for so many years and had never failed. The couples she brought together had lived harmoniously and with respect. Mrs. Jiang was really ungrateful.
As far as she was concerned, other young men in the village were not as magnanimous as Guo Ruowu.
Guo Ruowu had expected Mrs. Jiang's attitude and didn't get angry.
Seeing that matchmaker Li was looking at him, he said directly, "Mrs. Jiang, may I have a private talk with you?"
Mrs. Jiang didn't know what he was up to, but she agreed.
"Come with me!"
They went to the main room and left the door open. Matchmaker Li could see that they were talking, but she couldn't hear clearly what they were talking about.
Guo Ruowu said directly, "Mrs. Jiang, I want to marry Chunxi."
Mrs. Jiang raised her eyebrows and said, "Don't even think about it!"
Guo Ruowu was not mad. "To tell you the truth, Chunxi is meant to experience an inexorable doom. Her fate was changed a few days ago, and this doom is temporarily gone. But it will happen sooner or later. If you marry Chunxi to me, I can guarantee her happiness all her life."
Mrs. Jiang frowned and said, "Nonsense! You geomancers always talk nonsense! My daughter is fine. What kind of doom can she have?"
She had a terrible impression of Guo Ruowu. How could this man make up such a lie just to marry her daughter?
Guo Ruowu knew that she wouldn't believe it. "God sees everything. I swear to God that if I lie, I will die."
It was a very vicious oath, and Mrs. Jiang began to shift her thoughts.
Maybe... There was really a doom waiting for her daughter.
Her daughter had been spoiled by the whole family since she was a child, and they could never see her suffer any grievance.
"There are so many girls in the village. Why do you take a fancy to Chunxi?" Mrs. Jiang really didn't understand.
There were many young women in the age for marriage in the village, and her daughter was still young. Mrs. Jiang didn't know why Guo Ruowu only wanted her daughter.
Guo Ruowu also sighed. "Everything is fate. We are meant to be together."
He said vaguely and didn't tell her how he fell in love with Chunxi at first sight and why he had to marry her.
But his words convinced Mrs. Jiang.
She pursed her lips and thought for a long time. Finally, she nodded and said, "OK! But my daughter is still young. She can't get married until she is fifteen."
Guo Ruowu cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, mother-in-law. I agree. I can wait for Chunxi for two years."
Standing in the yard, matchmaker Li looked at the two people who were talking in the room but didn't know what they were talking about. When Guo Ruowu came out again, he told her that it had settled!
She was overjoyed at once. "Congratulations! Mrs. Jiang, you have a good taste. Trust me. I have been a matchmaker for a long time, I know that Chunxi will live a good life after she marries Mr. Guo."
Now that the matter was settled, it would be impolite for Mrs. Jiang to keep a straight face, so she smiled and said, "Okay! I trust you. If he's not reliable, I will get even with you!"
Matchmaker Li said at once, "If Mr. Guo do anything wrong, I will give him a lesson before you get even with me!"
Mrs. Jiang served them the best tea at home and treated them well before sending them away.
Jiang Chunxi was anxious to stay in the room. After waiting for a long time, she heard her mother send them out.
She leaned over the window and looked out. Seeing that they had left, but the things were still placed in the yard, she felt complicated.
She jumped off the bed and rushed to her mother. "Mom, what's going on?"
Looking at the little girl in front of her, Mrs. Jiang felt more complicated than her daughter. "Nothing serious. I just settled your engagement."
Jiang Chunxi was stunned with her mouth wide open. After a long while, she came to herself and asked, "Am I... engaged with... that Guo Ruowu?"
Mrs. Jiang nodded slightly. "Yes."
Jiang Chunxi pressed her lips and didn't anything. Mr. Jiang looked down and only saw her head.
"Well, now that the marriage is settled, you'd better behave yourself and stay home more often. I think that Guo Ruowu is also a good guy. He is rich and with no parents, that's rare. You are a lazy girl, so you just need to take good care of each other when you get married. When you have a child later, I will take care of the child for you. I don't know when your brother will come back."
Jiang Chunxi was stunned. Why did her mother think of having child as soon as they got engaged? It was so horrible.
"Mom!" She raised her voice and shouted, "What are you talking about? I don't want to get married!"
As she spoke, she covered her ears and ran back to the room.
