234 Chapter 234 thick-skinned
“Mother! Zhou Yuan said I’m ugly! You called me ugly in front of so many people! I don’t want to live anymore! I don’t want to live anymore!” Guo Wan’s self-esteem was hurt. She couldn’t care about her big brother anymore and continued to cry while holding her mother.
“Oh my, this has to do with my Yuanyuan! I say, young lady, did you say something to my Yuanyuan?” Grandma Xiao, who was helping Grandma Gu to boil the oil, had wanted to watch a good show. However, when she heard that it was related to her grandson, she asked apologetically.
“Xiao Wan, this is Zhou Yuan’s grandmother. You tell his grandmother to stand up for you. Don’t cry!” Grandma Gu said.
When Guo Wan heard that it was her grandmother, she was so embarrassed that she didn’t want to raise her head.
“Little brother, tell me, what’s going on?” Third uncle looked at Guo Yan and said.
Guo Yan told the story. Under the threat of his big brother’s eyes, he dared not add oil to the fire and could only describe the facts objectively.
Everyone was a little speechless after hearing her description. This Guo Wan was too bold. Even Gu Hui, who was determined to raise eight to ten pretty boys, was not as bold as her.
After dinner, Gu shouxin went back with a few girls to make the New Year’s goods to be sold tomorrow. Lu Zheng also went to help, and then Guo Wan dragged Guo Yan along.
Guo Wan had been following behind Lu Zheng. She introduced herself in a coquettish voice and mumbled to herself.
Lu Zheng ignored her at first. Seeing that he was ignoring her, she pretended to fall and pounced on Lu Zheng. In the end, Lu Zheng was completely unaffected and took a step back. Fine, Guo Wan fell directly to the ground.
She was also very bold. She thought that Lu Zheng was just a good-looking country boy. She was the daughter of the prefecture’s rice store. If she took the initiative to approach him, the country boy would accept her.
Hence, she got up from the ground and stretched out her hand to stop Lu Zheng from doing anything. She even asked him, ” brother Zhou Yuan, did you say kiss? ”
Lu Zheng looked at her expressionlessly. “I’m sorry, I’m not even sixteen yet. Auntie, you look much older than me!”
Guo Wan saw that Lu Zheng was quite tall, even taller than Guo Yan, and thought that Lu Zheng was older than the siblings.
He was not even sixteen and was two years younger than her. This was within the range of her acceptance!
Therefore, the thick-skinned her continued to pester, ” “Little brother Zhou Yuan, as the saying goes, when a girl is a year older, she’ll have a Golden Rooster, and when a girl is a year older, she’ll have a Golden Slam. I’m two years older than you! I’m seventeen this year and I’m not married yet. There are many young masters who like me, but I just don’t like them. I don’t think they’re suitable for each other. I’ve finally found the right person after meeting you today. Brother Zhou Yuan, it’s you! My family runs a grain store in the prefecture, my big brother is a scholar, and my second sister married into a cloth shop and is the lady boss. Little brother Zhou Yuan, can I ask for your hand in marriage?”
In the kitchen, Gu shouxin and the others were speechless. Third aunt’s (third sister’s) sister-in-law’s skin was as thick as the city wall!
Lu Zheng looked at Guo Wan as if she was an idiot. He frowned.”I’m sorry, I’m still young and don’t have any plans to get married!”
He was only so tactful because he was a relative of the Gu family.
Unexpectedly, Guo Wan thought that he was shy. She felt that the girls these days were not as bold as her, so the good-looking young man had never encountered such a situation.
Well, the more shy and good-looking the young man was, the more she liked him.
Hence, she made her move. She reached out to pull Lu Zheng, but he did not give her a chance to touch him.
