Despite being a married woman, Li Hua had never played matchmaker before. She was unsure whether to agree to the request when Gu Zi, who had been resting upstairs, descended with Su Le in her arms. She joined them, sitting next to her sister-in-law Li Hua, ready to join in the casual conversation.
Gu Zi didnt shy away from the topic at hand. Gui Hua shook her head at Li Hua and whispered, Of course not. I want you to ask Lin Hun directly if he would be willing to be with me.
I should mention, she continued, my parents are retired teachers, my younger brother runs a small business in the city, and my sister-in-law works in a textile factory. I myself run a small store in town. Our family is quite well-off. I am more than a suitable match for him. If he agrees, just let me know. We can get to know each other better, and I wont forget your matchmaking fee!
Li Hua was taken aback, unsure of what to say. She was slightly startled by Gui Huas directness when it came to matters of the heart.
Gu Zi, however, remained calm. Seeing her sister-in-laws surprise, she poured a cup of tea for her and turned to Gui Hua, Gui Hua, youre quite something. Youre not handing over the reins of your marriage to someone else, but firmly taking control and pursuing your own happiness. I admire that! But, should the matchmaking fee be shared among all present, so we can all share in the joy?
Gui Hua was generous at this moment, she slapped the table in agreement with Gu Zi, Sure, why not? You two can help me ask him. If it works out, Ill prepare red envelopes for your children as well. After all, well be like family.
Gu Zi found this idea appealing. More importantly, she thought Gui Hua and Lin Hun could indeed give it a try. Seeing her sister-in-law recovering from the initial shock, she supported Gui Hua, Sister-in-law, why not help her out? If it works out, wont we have another joyous occasion to celebrate this New Year?
Gui Hua was now eagerly awaiting Li Huas response. After a moment of thought, Li Hua nodded slowly, Alright, Ill find an opportunity to bring it up with Lin Hun. After all, it is a good thing. However, I do have a suggestion
Both Gu Zi and Gui Hua were focused on Li Hua. They initially thought of her as a simple and straightforward person, but they soon realized that Li Hua was quite clever in certain aspects. Her proactive suggestion was likely to be a surefire plan, especially considering her familiarity with Lin Huns situation.
Li Hua felt as if she was betraying Lin Hun, which gave her a sense of guilt. However, she quickly rationalized that she was merely providing Gui Hua with a chance to try. Whether it would work out or not depended on their fate. If it did work out, it would indeed be a good thing. Soon, Li Hua convinced herself, and her guilt subsided.
She quickly shared her suggestion, Lin Hun was raised by his grandmother, whom he respects the most. If youre serious about being with Lin Hun, you might want to get close to his grandmother while Im asking him. If you can win her over, things might be easier.
Gui Hua raised an eyebrow at this, fully agreeing, Thats a good plan. My leg is actually much better now. I can walk. Tomorrow, Ill find time to visit the village with you and pay a visit to Lin Huns grandmother. Ill thank her for her grandsons help. Lets do it this way!
Gui Hua used the table for support as she stood up to leave. Even though she was still walking slowly, Gu Zi could see the joy in her steps.
At the same time, Gui Huas younger brother was coming out of the store. He had been running errands for his sister since she injured her leg. Seeing his sisters joyful steps, he was taken aback. He didnt know whether to be happy or sad. As Gui Hua approached, he complained, What kind of sister are you!
Gu Zi and Li Hua watched the scene, laughing until their stomachs hurt. Gui Hua was indeed not only a playful character, but also an interesting person.
Gu Zi didnt forget to praise her sister-in-law, Sister-in-law, youre really something. You even know how to teach others to win over your former suitor. Youre amazing! I think they really have a chance. Su Le, youll have one more person giving you New Years money this year.
Li Hua was quite embarrassed and quickly changed the subject, Su Bing and Su Li are officially on winter break today, right? They must be coming home early. You should take Su Le home first.
