A Girl Traveling Through Troubled Times

From then on, Wu Mingqiang picked up Guier from school every day.

Gui'er asked Zhang the shopkeeper about the items needed for the marriage proposal, made a list, and prepared to go shopping. Wu Mingqiang took it and said, "Young Marshal has given instructions, young lady, if there is anything you need, I will do it. I will go buy it right away. I bought it in the next few days. Young lady, please take a look and see if there is anything you need to add."

Gui Er smiled and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Wu. I don't understand it either. Just let Shopkeeper Zhang take a look after you buy it. Remember not to let anyone know. I don't want too many people to know about this."

Wu Mingqiang patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, young lady."

Gui Er then said to Shopkeeper Zhang, "Shopkeeper Zhang, when you go to propose marriage, please tell Miss Zhang and her family not to reveal their identities. My brother and his family don't need to tell him either. When you tell my brother about Miss Zhang and her family, just say they are daughters of former landlords who fled from other places to avoid unnecessary complications."

Shopkeeper Zhang agreed. In fact, although Gui'er felt that Wu Dahua and Wu Dafu should be good people, they had not met many times. It was just like Sha Yanxiao said, whether a person is good or bad can only be known at the critical moment. Don't harm Miss Zhang because of your carelessness.

Everything was going on in an orderly manner. Gui'er suddenly remembered that she should tell Taohua about it, so she found some free time to go play with Taohua and told her about it.

Taohua was very happy to hear this and said, "Brother Dahua, you can finally get married. That's great! I really envy your family."

Guier smiled bitterly. In fact, she had no memory of this body, so it was impossible for her to have any feeling of a warm family.

Soon, Shopkeeper Zhang delivered the items to Miss Zhang Si's home. Miss Zhang Si's two mothers said, "We want to get this over with as soon as possible. We want to keep the etiquette simple and then have a meal together as a family."

Gui'er was very happy that her two mothers were willing to keep the etiquette simple, because she didn't understand all those miscellaneous etiquettes, and she was still a child, so she was really impatient to deal with them, so she agreed.

But thinking that it was a once-in-a-lifetime event, he asked Wu Mingqiang to make a suit of suits for Wu Dahua and Wu Dafu, and also to make a cheongsam made of high-end materials for Miss Zhang Si and the two mothers at Yunshang Tower.

She had originally wanted to arrange for a photographer from a photo studio to take photos on her wedding day, but she was worried about being recognized. Wu Mingqiang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know how to take photos. I have a camera, and I can also develop photos. Don't worry, no one else will know."

Originally, they had thought of booking a banquet in a private room at the hotel and inviting a few relevant people to dine together, but then Sha Yanxiao said he wanted to attend and meet Gui'er's two brothers. Gui'er was in a dilemma, worried that she would be recognized.

Shopkeeper Zhang smiled and said, "What's so difficult about this? Do you still remember Madam Zhang from the Song Mansion's kitchen?"

Gui Er said, "Of course I remember. She took great care of me back then in the Song Mansion."

"She's my relative, have you forgotten? Just ask her to come to Miss Zhang's house and cook a delicious meal. It's a piece of cake for her."

Gui'er was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.

After setting the date, Wu Dahua and Wu Dafu said goodbye to the couple who worked in the furniture workshop. As expected, they were harassed. Not only were they not allowed to leave, but they were also told that they had been living and eating for free in the workshop for so many years, and now they could just leave without saying anything. They were simply not human. They even wanted to find out where they were going, but the brothers naturally refused to tell them. In the end, Wu Dafu had no choice but to sneak out and tell Manager Zhang about the situation.

After Song Xichen found out, he said, "Why don't we have the patrol officers come forward to handle this matter?"

Gui'er felt it was inappropriate, because she knew that things were going to change in the future. Those who had been taken care of by the patrolmen might be punished. So she smiled and said to Song Xichen, "Brother, please don't come forward for now. I will think of a solution. I don't want people to think that my two brothers have backers, including themselves."

Then he said to Wu Mingqiang privately, "Brother Wu, can you help me think of a way to stop them from having the energy to take care of their brothers' affairs? But please don't hurt anyone."

Wu Mingqiang smiled and said, "Don't worry, miss, I'm the best at this."

Wu Mingqiang soon found out that the son of the furniture workshop owner not only smoked opium but also gambled and had already owed a lot of money. The casino owner was planning to set him up and bankrupt him.

So he went to the owner of the casino and asked him not to go too far, but also not to delay any longer. From then on, he went to the furniture workshop every day to collect debts. In this way, the boss and his wife had no mood to care about the brothers Wu Dahua and Wu Dafu anymore, and they got away smoothly. However, until the day they left, they were still apprentices without wages.

Gui'er took out the three silver dollars that Wu Dafu had given her, thought for a while, added seven more, and made ten dollars in total. She asked Wu Mingqiang to give them to the brothers Wu Dahua and Wu Dafu, saying that they were money to thank the matchmakers and to cook for Zhang Ma. The rest could be kept as capital to buy raw materials and make furniture.

Finally, the day of the wedding arrived. Gui'er used the excuse of asking Taohua to accompany her to Yunshang Tower to look at the materials for making clothes, picked Taohua up, and took Wu Mingqiang's car to Miss Zhang Si's house. The brothers Wu Dahua and Wu Dafu had already arrived here under the guidance of the shopkeeper Zhang. Both of them wore newly made suits, looking very handsome and tall, and like rich young masters.

Taohua couldn't take her eyes off Wu Dafu the moment she saw him. She stared at him intently. Wu Dafu said to Gui'er in a playful way, "Sister, we'll feel great wearing the suits you made for us."

Guier took a look and saw that the two men had not done their hair and their hair had not been trimmed, which looked a bit out of place. She quickly asked Wu Mingqiang to go to a nearby store to buy a box of hair oil, and applied it to Wu Dahua, giving him a big backcombed hair. He immediately looked much more impressive. Miss Zhang Si and the two mothers were very satisfied with the groom and smiled from ear to ear.

Guier saw that Miss Zhang Si also put on some light rouge and lipstick today, which made her look a little more charming.

Soon, Aunt Zhang brought out the prepared dishes from the kitchen one after another. Gui'er saw them and hurried forward to help. Aunt Zhang quickly stopped her and said, "Guier, it's been a long time since we last met. Come here, let me see you. You've grown taller and become more beautiful. I heard that you are organizing your brother's wedding this time. You are so capable at such a young age. You will have great things in the future."

Gui'er wanted to say that Sha Yanxiao had asked Wu Mingqiang and Zhang Zhang to help with all this, but she couldn't bring herself to mention Sha Yanxiao, so she said, "It's all thanks to everyone. Aunt Zhang, when you're done, come and eat with us."

Miss Zhang Si's two mothers also hurried to the kitchen to help. Wu Mingqiang was adjusting the camera and preparing to take pictures of everyone.

Suddenly, Sha Yanxiao arrived with Dali. Miss Zhang Si and her two mothers hurried forward and bowed deeply. Sha Yanxiao handed her a large red envelope, which must have contained a generous gift. He smiled and said, "Miss Zhang, congratulations on finding a good husband. I also wish you both a son soon."

Wu Dafu immediately guessed that this was the young marshal, and hurriedly pulled Wu Dahua forward, bowing to Sha Yanxiao and saying, "Thank you, young marshal, for taking care of my sister."

Wu Dahai was a little confused at first, but when he heard this, he was shocked and quickly bowed deeply.
