I feel so good after dressing up as a peasant girl

Unable to figure out what was wrong, Gu Wenxuan could only wait and see.

After a quick wash, she returned to her room, ready to lie down and rest early. However, before she could climb onto the kang, Gu Yongming and Jia Guizhi came over together.

"Mom wants to tell you something." Jia Guizhi sat down next to Gu Wenxuan, "Didn't Jingzhou's parents come over this afternoon? They came to our house to propose marriage."

Gu Wenxuan: ???

Gu Wenxuan:!!!

Jia Guizhi explained, "You also know that there are some gossipy women in our village. They can make up a story about something that didn't happen, not to mention that you carried Jingzhou all the way back to the village from the mountain this time."

Now everyone is just preparing for spring ploughing and has not officially entered the busy farming season, so there are quite a few villagers who wander around the village every day, chatting with acquaintances to pass the time.

Gu Wenxuan carried Bai Jingzhou on her back for such a long distance, and she saw at least fifteen people, if not twenty. Among these people, there were naturally some who loved to spread gossip or even make up stories.

Once something is spread several times, even if no one deliberately tells lies when spreading the news, it will inevitably be distorted. Not to mention that some people who spread gossips may exaggerate the real situation or even make up some excessive details because the real situation is not explosive or exciting enough.

In a short period of time, those who love to make up stories distorted such a simple matter as "Bai Jingzhou was injured and was carried back by Gu Wenxuan" into "Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan were discovered eloping, and Bai Jingzhou was too panicked and accidentally broke his head. Seeing the blood flowing, Gu Wenxuan had no choice but to send him back to the Bai family."

This rumor was so outrageous that it made Gu Wenxuan laugh.

She said to Gu Yongming and Jia Guizhi, "Their story is not very good. Shouldn't they say that I fell in love with Jingzhou and wanted him to be my husband, but he and his family refused to agree, so I got angry and snatched him away, carrying him on my back and running to the mountain village, but Jingzhou refused to obey and resisted desperately, and even broke his head in the process of resistance?"

Gu Yongming and Jia Guizhi: ...

Good man, their girl is so ruthless that she doesn't even let herself go! Although... her level as a black person is indeed much higher than those gossipy women.

Jia Guizhi glared at her with both amusement and helplessness, "I'm telling you something serious! You've been framed as eloping with Jingzhou, and you're talking nonsense like nothing happened. Do you think your reputation is too good?"

Her daughter had always been gossiped about by some jealous villagers because she dressed like a boy and went to the mountains. If this fabricated story of her daughter spread out, she would definitely be known as the mountain king who failed in his attempt to snatch a bride, and her reputation would be irreversible.

Gu Yongming smiled and tried to smooth things over. "Kid, you've been confused by those bastards. Just continue talking."

Jia Guizhi glared at him with equal respect, "Just protect her! If she talks nonsense like this outside one day, do you believe I will deal with you too?"

Gu Yongming winked at Gu Wenxuan, "That can't be possible. My daughter has a plan in mind."

Gu Wenxuan couldn't help laughing, "Yes, I have an idea in mind."

Jia Guizhi snorted and laughed. It was hard to say whether she believed it or not. She continued, "I don't know where Jingzhou's aunt heard these rumors, and she asked your aunt Bai about it. Your aunt Bai felt that this was not going to work, so she discussed it with your uncle Bai, and the two of them took the opportunity to return the favor to our family and came to propose marriage to our family."

At this point, the smile on Jia Guizhi's face suddenly changed from the half-smile she had when facing Gu Wenxuan and Gu Yongming to the kind of sincere smile that "the more the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more satisfied she is."

Bai Jingzhou is a relatively outstanding young man in the village. He has a good temper and is capable. His parents are sensible and kind, and his family background is obviously better than that of the Gu family.

If he and Gu Wenxuan had not had physical contact in public, Bai Chong and his wife might not have considered Gu Wenxuan as a candidate daughter-in-law.

But for Gu Wenxuan, whose reputation was damaged because of carrying him back to the village, he was undoubtedly the best choice.

But even so, Bai Chong and his wife did not show any contempt, perfunctory attitude, or arrogance.

The two men took the opportunity of returning the gift to come to the door and first informed the Gu family about the matter in private. This not only showed their full sincerity in proposing marriage, but also left room for the Gu family to refuse privately. This attitude is really impeccable.

The elders of the Gu family felt the sincerity of Bai Chong and his wife. In addition, Bai Jingzhou was a very good young man in every aspect. After a brief discussion, they readily agreed to arrange the engagement between Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou.

Gu Wenxuan was stunned after hearing what her mother said.

No, it’s settled now?

Don't you guys need to ask for my opinion?

Jia Guizhi had no idea what she was thinking. Like Li, she felt that this was a piece of cake that had fallen from the sky and had just happened to fall on their heads.

She said to Gu Wenxuan, "Jingzhou has a good temper and is smart. At such a young age, he has already learned 70% of his father's skills. There will definitely be many people who come to him for medical treatment in the future. When you marry him, you won't have to worry about food, clothing, and shelter, even if you can't say you will have a good life. "

Gu Wenxuan's expression was complicated. "I can farm and hunt by myself. I don't have to worry about food, clothing and shelter."

Jia Guizhi rolled her eyes at her, "How can that be the same? No matter how capable you are, your father and I will never let you marry a loser or a coward who can't even support his wife and children."

Gu Wenxuan:...What does this have to do with anything?

She just wanted to explain that she was capable of supporting herself and didn't need to get married just to ensure basic living. How did her mother let it distort her view on choosing a spouse?

As she was thinking, she heard Jia Guizhi say, "Besides, you won't find many people as sensible, kind and easy to get along with as Jingzhou's parents even if you search the entire Qingshan County. From all aspects, even if you didn't carry him back to the village, this marriage is definitely a good one."

And it was their Gu family who was marrying up. Of course, she didn't need to say this in front of the children.

Gu Wenxuan, who suddenly had a fiancé:...

What she didn't know was that before Bai Chong and his wife came to propose marriage, her elders in the Gu family were actually worried about her reputation.

Bai Jingzhou's accident happened because Gu Wenxuan asked him to see a doctor. Gu Wenxuan should take responsibility and bring him back for treatment as soon as possible. The Gu family all agree on this point.

But Gu Wenxuan's action will indeed make her fall into a whirlpool of rumors.

The Gu family did not blame her for this, nor did they try to use Gu Wenxuan's "bad reputation" as an excuse to blame the Bai family. But when Gu Wenxuan was lying on the earthen kang, snoring heartlessly, the Gu family had already planned to find a son-in-law for her in the future to prevent her from being bullied because of this after she got married.
