Chapter 510 - Relationship Confirmed

Chapter 510: Relationship Confirmed

Sun Mei was quite pretty. She had not suffered much hardship since she was young, so her complexion was quite fine. Although it was not as fair and smooth as Gu Qingyao’s complexion, at least it was not as rough as that of many village girls.
She had never done much farming work.
When Sun Mei went to town, she met Wang Jie, who was intelligent and charming. In modern terms, he was a flirt.
The first meeting was just to pique Sun Mei curiosity towards him. She was interested but did not know much about him.
Upon her second and third meeting, she found out about his family.
Compared to the Gu family, Wang Jie could offer a lot more.
On the surface, the Gu family was vastly inferior to him.
Wang Jie was a city dweller, and his entire family worked and was well-off. He had no burdens at all. This entirely matched Sun Mei’s fantasy of what her future husband should be like.
On Wang Jie’s part, he was satisfied with Sun Mei.
This Sun Mei was quite pretty. She had fine features and was quite refined. Although she could not compare to the city girls from good families, she was certainly much prettier than the village girls who had to farm.
Ever since Wang Jie had found out his father-in-law’s requirement that he marry a village girl, he had especially made an effort to understand the village environment. Frankly, he had not had much expectation of his future wife.
Currently, this one was not too bad. At least she was quite good-looking.
Wang Jie’s connections were much better than Sun Mei’s. Once he decided that Sun Mei was a pretty good choice, he swiftly investigated her family and knew that he would definitely be the dominant party in this marriage. That made things much easier.
Their interaction rapidly grew intimate. Sun Mei was absolutely delighted with Wang Jie.
At that moment, she was rejoicing that she had not married into the Gu family. Otherwise, she would not have met someone as outstanding as Wang Jie.
The new year holiday was almost at an end and Gu Qingyao was packing for her older cousins and Mo Beihan. Mo Beihan and the others had not yet left, but Gu Qingyao had already heard that there was definitely a relationship between Wang Jie and Sun Mei.
The Sun family was wild with joy!
Gu Qingyao’s mouth twitched. How many days had it been?
About a week!
How fast.
When the new year vacation ended, Mo Beihan, Gu Jinhang, Gu Jinfeng and Gu Jinlin left. Gu Qingyao had stuffed their bags full of goodies and they all left with numerous parcels.
Gu Jinhang and Gu Jinfeng were reluctant to leave. They felt that they had learnt a lot from the old folks in their hometown. It had been an eye-opening experience!
After they left, Gu Qingyao returned to her peaceful existence. Besides bringing medicine for Grandfather and Grandma Guo every day, she had lessons with the other old folks. She learnt whatever she could. After all, she had the time.
Languages, law, economics, painting, calligraphy, embroidery, medicine…
Were all within her scope.
When the Lantern Festival arrived, Gu Qingyao visited the Mo house to bring Jiang Yingqiu some gifts.
When she was at the Southern Lake Brigade, she ran into a smug Sun Mei.
At that moment, Sun Mei had regained her former arrogance. She was as proud as a peacock. She was decked out in new clothes, which were definitely bought by Wang Jie.
She had many lackeys in tow – Chen Honghua, Liu Zao, Wang Li, and two other young girls. They looked familiar, but she could not recall their names. They were trailing after Sun Mei.
When she saw Gu Qingyao, Sun Mei smiled arrogantly. She was not as toadying and cautious as she had been a few days ago.
She smugly walked over to Gu Qingyao and looked her up and down. She studied Gu Qingyao from head to toe. Her clothes were certainly not as nice as hers. Sun Mei smirked!
“Gu Qingyao, you cannot compare to me now!”
