The Second Sister of a Farmer's Family's Path to Imperial Destiny

"Elder!? What kind of elder is he?" Guo Zhi asked loudly.

Because the noise was quite loud, the guests nearby hurriedly went to find Guo Xin and Guo Ruo.

"I heard that uncle is very interested in my incense pavilion?" Guo Xin walked in and said slowly.

She had long thought that her uncle's family would not sit quietly in the reception hall to eat, but who would have thought that they would run to her boudoir. The smart ones would know that they were here to steal something, but the stupid ones didn't know what kind of rumors would spread.

When Aunt Guo saw Guo Xin, she was like seeing a ghost, but she was indeed seeing a ghost. She trembled and said, "Your uncle just got lost."

"Really?" Guo Xin sneered, "Then how come my closet was opened? I had stuck a strand of hair in it before."

When Uncle Guo heard this, his face turned pale. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that there seemed to be something blocking him from opening the wardrobe, but he thought the quality of the wardrobe was poor, so he pushed it open with force.

As soon as Guo Lizheng saw Uncle Guo's face, he knew what had happened: "Dagui, why don't you tell the truth quickly!"

Uncle Guo looked at Li Zheng Guo, then at Guo Xin and the others, knowing that he couldn't keep the secret any longer, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to stay in the village anymore.

Then he lowered his head and said with tears in his eyes, "I...I did rummage through the closet. My family has been in trouble recently, so I had the evil idea to steal some things from Guo Xin's house to supplement the family income."

Guo Lizheng looked at Dagui in front of him, extremely disappointed, and sighed, "In that case, send him to the government! We can't have such a person who corrupts the village spirit in Guojia Village."

When Uncle Guo and his wife heard that they were going to send him to the government, they panicked and knelt down and said, "Please! We still have six children to feed, and one of them is a silly kid. We must not send him to the government! Village head..."

Guo Lizheng remained indifferent. He had given Guo Dagui's family many chances, and this time they had ruined the village's morals. If he let him go, who knows how many unstable people in the village would follow suit.

Guo Xin was silent for a long time, then said, "Forget it. I won't send you to the government, but you have to work for my family for free for a year. I will provide you with two meals a day, but I can only guarantee that you will be full, not that you will eat well."

It wasn't that she was so kind-hearted that she let Uncle Guo's family go. But if she handed Uncle Guo over to the government and he said something he shouldn't have, how could she, with her current weak power, fight against the person who abandoned her father?

Uncle Guo looked at Guo Xin in astonishment. He had never thought that such a shameless person like him would not be sent to the government. He felt mixed emotions in his heart.

"Of course, I don't just want you and your wife to work for me. As long as your children have the strength, they have to help me with the work. It can be as simple as clearing wasteland and farming to working as waiters in a tavern and washing dishes." Guo Xin said lightly.

Guo Lizheng looked at the stunned Guo Dagui and his wife and said, "Why don't you two thank Xin'er quickly!"

Uncle Guo and his wife kowtowed to Guo Xin and apologized and thanked him.

Guo Xin didn't dodge either, this was what she deserved.

……

Guo Ruo's two siblings had no other objections to Guo Xin's treatment. They knew that everything Guo Xin did was for a reason, and Guo Xin was also under the guidance of an immortal, so he was much better than them in every way.

The next morning, Guo Xin sent Guo Zhi and Guo Xi to the town, and let them get on the carriages to go to their respective academies. Then he returned to the village and took Guo Ruo to Liu Erye's house to repay his debt.

The money saved now is enough to pay off the debt with some money left for the expenses of the tavern. Naturally, he has to finish the important matter in his heart. Otherwise, if his family goes bankrupt in the future, he will not be able to pay it back, and he and his elder sister will have to sacrifice it.

When they arrived at the gate of Mr. Liu's courtyard, they explained their purpose to the gatekeeper and waited for a while. Then a maid came out and took the two of them to a woman.

"You are the Guo Daya and Guo Erya from before, right?" The woman sat in the hall, looking down at them.

The two of them answered in unison.

"I heard that you have raised the money to pay off your debts?"

Guo Ruo took out a stack of silver from his cloth bag and handed it to the old woman next to him.

The old woman weighed it and said something to the woman.

"You guys are really capable, but this silver was not stolen, was it?" the woman said, looking at the silver.

Guo Xin said in a deep voice: "These are all saved bit by bit by our own hands. If Madam doesn't believe me, you can go to the town or the county to ask about me."

"Okay!" The woman smiled and waved her hand, asking the maid to take Guo Ruo and the other two out of the yard.

After Guo Xin and the other person left, he immediately asked the guards in the yard to find out.

When she learned that Guo Xin not only cooperated with Rufangzhai in the small town, but also cooperated with Hu Mansion in the county town to open a wine shop, she was shocked and immediately sent a message to her mother's family.

She has a cousin who is of marriageable age. If she seizes this opportunity, their family's status will be raised to a higher level. She will be more confident in the Hu Mansion and will not be afraid that Mr. Liu will make mistakes and make her miserable in her old age.

The man who received the news didn't care whether Guo Ruo had been rejected by his cousin's husband, and immediately found a matchmaker to prepare for his marriage.

Although their family was indeed wealthy and did not need to find a woman whose marriage had been rejected, if they could marry into this well-connected family, who would say anything? By then, wouldn't everyone be envious of them?

……

Guo Xin and the other person were not in a hurry to go to the county town to check out the tavern for the time being, because there was no urgent news from the tavern. They thought that the manager sent by Liu Tiezhu and Mrs. Hu took good care of the tavern, so he stayed in the village to arrange all matters related to expanding the production of the workshop.

"Excuse me, is this the Guo Ruo family?" A woman dressed festively shouted in front of the door of Guo Ruo's house. She didn't want to take this urgent job, but had no choice because the family offered too much.

Standing in front of Guo Ruo's house at this moment, looking at the neatly arranged houses, he cursed in his heart who was spreading false information, saying that Guo Ruo's family was poor and lived in a thatched hut.

If this marriage goes through, I'm afraid I won't have to worry about food and clothing for several months, and I'll also have a good reputation.

"I'm Guo Ruo, who are you?" Guo Ruo came out and asked, wearing simple clothes and a jacket.

The woman looked at the girl in front of her who was not wearing any makeup and had an extremely attractive appearance, like a breeze, and her heart could not help but be moved. However, it only lasted for a moment, and then she straightened her mind and said, "I am the matchmaker from Wujia Village. I was asked by someone to come to your house to propose marriage. I wonder if it is convenient for you, young lady?"

She stared straight at Guo Ruo, thinking that if she could make this marriage happen, it would truly be a perfect match between a talented man and a beautiful woman!

In the future, I don’t know how many people will come to me to act as a matchmaker, and I will make a lot of money!

"Propose marriage?"

Guo Ruo was puzzled. Didn't he just officially break off the engagement? How come someone came to him again so soon?
