Divine Doctor, Sweet Wife

Chapter 181: Fixing The Date (4)

The two families knew each other well, so Mo Beihan agreed to all their requests. In fact, the Gu family did not have to make any requests as he had already arranged everything. When he explained his arrangements, the Gu family could not find fault with anything.

“Yao Yao is still young. Even after we’re engaged, we’ll wait until she’s eighteen to get married. I will obey the Gu family in this. I can wait.

“The ninth day of the month is an auspicious date. Although it’s just an engagement, we must still celebrate in some way. I think the two families should have a meal together! We can invite some close relatives and friends as well. The Gu family will host, and I will make the preparations.

“As for the brigade, throwing a dinner now is impossible, as that would be too conspicuous. But we must do something, because it is a joyous occasion.

“Let’s prepare some sweets for the children. For food, we’ll make some pepper soup, bone broth or fish soup. There’s no need to prepare any main dishes.”

An engagement was just a formality.

In these times, many people did not even throw a wedding dinner when they got married simply because they did not have the resources. Even if they had sufficient resources, Mo Beihan would not allow the Gu family to host an engagement celebration.

If it were just him, it would not matter. He came from a good background and it was no problem.

But the Gu family was different. They were landlords. If their granddaughter threw a dinner just for an engagement, it would be too blatant.

They would just prepare some food and show some hospitality.

So they decided on the ninth day of the new year!

Once the date was fixed, Mo Beihan became very excited. He ran around all day, either making arrangements for the engagement dinner, or inviting guests.

Although he could not make a big deal out of it, he could still show his abilities.

Others would take note of it, and it would deter them from making trouble for the Gu family.

Mo Beihan was well-connected, but it was customary for the bride’s family to host the engagement while the groom’s family hosted the wedding. The Gu family had to keep a low profile, so they limited the number of guests to two or three tables.

Mo Beihan was busy, and so was Gu Jinlin. His younger cousin was getting engaged. He had to notify his brothers to come home.

As for Gu Qingyao, she just stayed home and studied her nails while thinking of the people who would come for her engagement. It was not possible for the entire family to come. Third Uncle’s family would certainly come. Third Uncle himself might not come, although Third Aunt and her two cousins would probably come.

Just in time to visit them for the new year.

As she thought about it, Gu Qingyao suddenly thought of her younger aunt, Gu Yunshuang.

She had been reborn for almost three months, but had not yet gone to see how her younger aunt was doing.

After her rebirth, she had concentrated her energy on Zhang Xiaohui, focusing on getting rid of her in such a way that she would not make trouble for the Gu family.

This was something she had left unresolved in her previous life. So for a long time, her top priority was getting rid of Zhang Xiaohui. She would slowly take her revenge later on.

As for her younger aunt, the truth was that Gu Qingyao was not sure how she was.

But she knew that Younger Aunt’s marriage was not a success.

At this time in her previous life, she had stayed at home, not daring to leave the house. The family’s attention was focused on her, so she was unaware of her younger aunt’s situation.

But she knew that her younger aunt’s in-laws treated her terribly. In her previous life, her Younger Aunt had tolerated it until the eighties, when she got a divorce.

Gu Qingyao pursed her lips. Now that everything on her side was going smoothly, it was time to visit her younger aunt.

She could also invite her to the engagement dinner.
