Married the Tough Guy After Transmigrating-Chapter 426 Discussing a Marriage Proposal for Xu the Third

Chapter 426: Chapter 426 Discussing a Marriage Proposal for Xu the Third

"You’re not stupid, are you? If people in the village are willing to chip in some money, we’ll have to pay less.

So many villages, if each person contributes a little less, it adds up to a lot. Our money doesn’t grow on trees," Sun Yiliang said irritably.

Xu Qingqing immediately got the picture and looked at Xu Ying, a hint of mockery in her eyes.

She had thought her cousin was so generous, but it turned out she was just as calculating.

But that was fine, it saved her money, too.

"Uncle, let’s do as you say and talk to people from the other villages first, then we’ll discuss the road repair issue," Xu Qingqing complied for once.

Mrs. Xu watched from the side, feeling as though the sun had risen from the west.

After having her say, Xu Qingqing turned and left with her head held high in pride. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

Mrs. Xu cast a disdainful glance and then went into the kitchen to busy herself with cooking.

Xu Ying sat in the yard soaking up the sun, watching Eldest Sister-in-law Xu cuddling the little girl in her arms, which she adored.

The little girl also liked Xu Ying a lot, sticking to her ever since she learned to walk: "Auntie, pretty."

Xu Ying couldn’t stop grinning at her words.

Who doesn’t like being complimented for being beautiful, especially after getting pregnant and feeling out of shape? She didn’t even dare look at her own reflection now.

Just one glance in the mirror at her chubby self made Xu Ying feel uncomfortable, but now the little girl was calling her pretty.

Her heart melted.

It was a pity that she was too pregnant to carry the little girl.

Otherwise, she would have held her tight and spoiled her rotten.

"My little niece is beautiful, too!" she said, and the little girl grinned nonstop.

Mr. Xu and Second Brother Xu left and returned after not too long, followed by an elderly woman with a face full of smiles.

As soon as she stepped through the door and saw Mrs. Xu, she couldn’t stop laughing: "Oh, sister-in-law, you’re home.

I’ve come with some wonderful news for you."

Seeing the visitor, Mrs. Xu greeted her with a smile: "What wind has blown you our way? Let’s hear this great news."

The woman then said, "I’ve come to propose a match for your third son. The girl is the county deputy director’s daughter, pretty as a picture and a university student at that."

At these words, Mrs. Xu felt a burst of joy – the county deputy director’s daughter belonged to a high-ranking family.

She wondered if such a girl would ever consider her son.

Xu the Third, sitting on the side and cracking sunflower seeds, just about stumbled and fell from the shock. He quickly stood up to decline: "Auntie, I’m not considering marriage right now."

The woman smiled upon hearing this and said, "I’m not asking you to get married, just to meet her. You two could date.

She’s still studying; it wouldn’t be good to get married now, but after graduation, there’s no hurry."

Mrs. Xu shot her son a disapproving glance, then turned back with a coaxing smile to the woman: "Sister-in-law, do you think the deputy director’s daughter would fancy my boy?"

With a knowing smile and a glance at Xu the Third, the woman said cryptically: "Guess why I mentioned the deputy director’s daughter? It’s because your Xu the Third has caught her eye.

She asked me to come over and bring up the marriage."

At these words, Mrs. Xu was so overjoyed she was giddy with excitement.

Oh my goodness, if Xu the Third actually married the daughter of a high-ranking official, their family’s status would skyrocket.

Xu the Third listened intently to the conversation between Gu’s mother and the matchmaker.

He then shook his head, his face full of resistance: "I won’t meet her."

Mrs. Xu, baffled: "Why won’t you meet her?"

Xu the Third stuttered for a while before blurting out: "I’ve got someone else!"

At this, Mrs. Xu’s face darkened: "Who is this girl? She better not be from out of town.

That would be too far away, and that won’t do."

Xu the Third shook his head and said directly: "It’s Fuzhu, the one you all have met."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Xu’s expression changed dramatically, and she couldn’t hide the shock in her eyes.

"You, kid, why do you have such grand ambitions!"

The daughter of the Deputy Director, and they already felt their family was reaching too high, and now she’s suddenly turned into Director Gu’s daughter.

Mrs. Xu felt that her son might not be a good enough match. She had seen Gu Fuzhu, that daughter, several times before, a demure girl who was also well-educated.

Xu the Third just chuckled and did not speak.

Xu and Second Brother Xu beside him were also shocked.

"You, kid, not bad at all."

Xu the Third, praised by his two brothers, instantly beamed with pride.

The matchmaker woman beside them was all puzzled. Who was this Gu Fuzhu? Could it be someone more impressive than the Deputy Director’s daughter?

Otherwise, the Xu Family wouldn’t have reacted like this.

She immediately grabbed Mrs. Xu with a look of confusion: "Who is Gu Fuzhu, hm? Seeing the way you look, you seem quite pleased with this girl.

How will you explain this to the Deputy Director’s side? What if they hear that you’ve rejected them and take offense?"

Mrs. Xu was extremely pleased with herself: "Their family’s daughter is the county’s actual Director’s daughter. I am not afraid of a mere Deputy Director.

It’s fine, you just go on and say it. Marriage is a matter of mutual consent, my son has someone now, they can’t force him to marry their daughter."

The woman was taken aback by this remark, her eyes full of astonishment. The Xu Family was really something special. First, the young daughter became a manager at the food factory, then a designer at the textile factory.

Afterwards, their second son became a teacher, followed by the whole family getting into college.

The eldest son began working on vegetable greenhouses, now collaborating with many people in business, making good money all year round.

They just up and leased the hills for hundreds of thousands, without so much as blinking an eye.

Now, the youngest son is dating the Director’s daughter from the county.

The Old Xu Family was set for rapid success.

The woman looked at Mrs. Xu with newfound respect.

Mrs. Xu played it up a bit more before finally sending the woman off.

After the woman left, Mrs. Xu, curious, started to inquire with her son about the matter.

Mr. Xu, too, was full of doubt: "Are you sure you are seeing Director Gu’s daughter?"

Xu the Third rolled his eyes: "What’s wrong? Am I not good enough for Gu Fuzhu?"

He was a college student now, and he was not bad in any aspect.

Mr. Xu scoffed, that was certainly true.

Xu the Third was excellent, too, but when compared to Director Gu’s daughter, he really fell short.

"Why not? I think they’re quite compatible." When did Mrs. Xu not think highly of her own children?

Especially when they were climbing up high branches, just thinking about it made her feel proud.

Hearing his mother’s words, Xu the Third was overjoyed.

Mrs. Xu asked her son curiously, "Will you bring Fuzhu home for the New Year this year?"

Such a good girl, it’s definitely better to secure the relationship early to have peace of mind.

What if they date for a while and then break up?

They might not find such a good girl in the future.

Xu the Third was taken aback for a moment; he really hadn’t thought about this.

And he didn’t know Fuzhu’s thoughts on it.

"I’ll ask Fuzhu what she thinks first, and we’ll talk about it if she’s willing."

Mrs. Xu immediately nodded, that was certain.

"Then you’d better ask quickly, I need to prepare if she’s coming."

Xu the Third quickly nodded, feeling nervous all of a sudden.

Whenever he thought of Gu Fuzhu’s father, he got a bit scared.
