Chapter 307 Urging marriage
Chapter 307 Urging marriage
Xu Weiwei jumped into the rain, grabbed Ganz's arm and pulled him under the eaves.
The sunny and refreshing young man has now become a drowned puppy. His hair and clothes are all wet, and water is dripping down. Soon, a small puddle has gathered at his feet. The skin that Xu Weiwei's palm touched is also emitting cold air.
Taohua and the priest let the two men into the house and brought out a dry towel for him to wipe his face.
"Weier, why are you here? You haven't left yet?" Ganz asked halfway when he remembered Xu Weiwei's habit and changed the subject.
"Well, I just finished my work and was about to leave when it suddenly started raining."
"Oh, what are you doing with this?" Ganz looked at the hammer in Xu Weiwei's hand in confusion.
Xu Weiwei finally reacted, threw it aside, and said calmly: "I'm playing with it. Do you think it looks like a big sword?"
Ganz smiled in confusion and said flatteringly, "Like, I'll make you one that's more convenient to use some other time."
"What's the urgent matter that makes you come here in the middle of the night? You're so wet..." the old man asked in a reproachful tone.
Xu Weiwei was about to ask as well. A day's work almost immediately made her think of the injury, "Are you injured or feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
"No, there isn't," Gantz denied.
"What's going on?" the priest asked, raising his voice slightly.
Ganz's expression suddenly became strange, he lowered his head, a deep furrow appeared between his brows, and pursed his lips. He looked a little sad, a little irritated, and a little embarrassed and aggrieved.
After spending so many years together, this was the first time Xu Weiwei saw Gantz show this expression, and she immediately took it seriously.
Pulling him to sit on a stool, he poured a cup of hot tea and stuffed it into his hand, then asked knowingly, "Brother Gantz's coming here means there are trustworthy people here, but now he doesn't want to say it, probably because I'm here."
"In that case, I'll leave first." Xu Weiwei pretended to go out.
Just then, a car horn sounded outside the house. Xu Weiwei went out, and the two yellow car lights were particularly conspicuous in the rain. Uncle Kai parked the car in the yard and came to pick her up with a black umbrella.
Ganz panicked all of a sudden, grabbed Xu Weiwei's wrist and explained: "No! It's not because of you! How could I be on guard against you... I..."
Kai came in, shook off the water on his umbrella, and saw Ganz holding Xu Weiwei's hand. He raised his eyebrows and spoke in a frivolous way: "Hey~ What's wrong? You're still reluctant to part. Am I here at the wrong time?"
Ganz let go of his hand awkwardly, but was afraid that people would misunderstand him, so he turned to pull Xu Weiwei's sleeve, pinching the edge of the fabric pitifully.
Xu Weiwei pinched her thigh until it was almost swollen before she could hold back her laughter. She said to Uncle Kai, "I have something else to do. Please go back to the car and wait for a while, Uncle Kai. Sorry to bother you."
"I don't even have the right to sit here?" The man said exaggeratedly with his eyes wide open. "Okay, I'm leaving. The child has grown up and has his own secrets. Alas--!!!"
"Don't worry about him. Uncle Kai is not used to being serious." Xu Weiwei comforted him. After that, he took the bewildered Gantz back to the room.
Ganz picked up the teacup, and the warmth gradually spread from his palms to his whole body. After taking a sip, he felt his internal organs warm up.
"My mother...forced me to go to Daya's house to propose marriage. I didn't want to, and I didn't want to continue arguing with her, so I just wanted to find a quiet place to hide."
"I thought you might be the only one who's still awake at this time, so I came here..." Ganz lowered his head, staring at the ripples on the surface of the teacup, and said softly.
Xu was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that the topic they talked about during the day would come true so quickly.
She has never experienced being urged to get married, but she knows how suffocating it is when her family disagrees with her on such an important life event and tries to control her future.
Gantz is a good-tempered person. The fact that he came out so late at night showed that it was not just a minor quarrel.
The facts were exactly as Xu Weiwei had thought.
Many people saw the scene of Daya and Gantz walking their horses together. The chief's wife endured it for a whole day and finally asked about it in the evening.
"What did Daya say to you during the day today?"
"Nothing, I forgot about it." Ganz put food into the bowl nonchalantly.
"Do you have a pig brain? What else can you remember?" complained the chief's wife.
"I think Daya is definitely interested in you. There are so many guys, why doesn't she talk to others but you? Right?"
"Ah, ah? Right, right," the chieftain, who had been elbowed, looked up blankly and agreed.
The woman looked at her youngest son with satisfaction, then glanced at the eldest and second sons, and finally returned to her youngest son. She said with pride, "My three sons are all excellent. Even the mud monkey that worried me the most when I was young has grown up now."
"Your eldest brother's baby is already over one year old, and your second brother has also been engaged, so you are the only one left. Once you get married, my mission will be complete. While I'm still young, I can help you take care of the child."
Ganz didn't hear anything and just kept eating. No one else said anything either.
"I'm talking to you, did you hear me?"
"Yeah, I heard it," Gantz said perfunctorily.
"Mom, my younger brother is so smart, he must have known what was going on. He won't have trouble finding a boyfriend in the future, so you don't have to worry about him." The new daughter-in-law of the old family advised.
"It would be better if he knew better." The chief's wife finally said angrily, but she didn't continue preaching.
Perhaps the compliment from her eldest daughter-in-law touched her heart.
After dinner, when it was time to go to bed, the chief's wife found that the light in the bedroom on the second floor was still on. Thinking about what she had not finished talking about during dinner, she decided to go upstairs to take a look.
The youngest son was fiddling with something with his back to her and didn't even notice her walking behind him.
"What are you busy with?"
"Ouch! You scared me!" Ganz turned around suddenly.
Without waiting for Ganz to answer, she noticed that the armlet in her youngest son's hand was exactly the one she had made herself. It took her more than half a month to make it, and the lotus pattern on it was pinched out bit by bit by her using gold thread.
After finding out it was his mother, Ganz turned back and said, "I broke this thing, so I made it smaller and made a bracelet for Wei'er."
Hearing this, the mother felt furious, as if a big stone was pressing on her chest. But she still tried to suppress her anger, telling herself that she shouldn't care about it, and forced herself to shift her attention to the real business.
"I will test Daya's mother's attitude tomorrow. If they have no objection, I will prepare a sheep's hoof for you and bring you to propose marriage. During these two days of festival, you can express your feelings in front of everyone. You can give and receive, and let everyone know that Daya has been decided."
"slim Shady!"
Ganz put down what he was holding and stood up. "I have no feelings for Daya. Can you please not make the decision for me?"
"You are still a child, you don't know anything. When you come back, all the good ones will be picked up. Relationships can be cultivated. Daya is good enough, she is suitable for you."
Ganz was tongue-tied and felt that his mother was wrong, but he didn't know how to argue, so he could only refuse anxiously: "No! I don't agree with you doing this. Daya is very good, but I won't be with a woman I don't like."
The chief's wife was also a little impatient. "If you don't like Daya, who else can you like? Even the most beautiful girls in our tribe can't impress you. Do you plan to be single for the rest of your life?"
"My life is my own business. You don't need to worry about it." Ganz said stubbornly.
"You don't need me to worry about you? I'm your mother! If I don't worry about you, who will?! You are already nineteen, not just nine! Other boys and girls have dated several people! And you are still acting like a child, running around with your 'good sister' all day long, and you don't think about anything else!"
"It's the middle of the night and you're still thinking about how to please her. If you put half of your energy into other girls, I might even be able to help you take care of your children!"
As the chief's wife spoke, her resentment burst out as if a floodgate had been opened.
