Black Market Boss: His Beloved Wife's Lazy Life

"Then I thank the young man from the Gao family," said Matchmaker Liu with a smile.

"Let's go, Aunt Liu, let's go now."

"Okay, I'll go put the basin down." Liu the matchmaker said and followed Gao Jianguo to the educated youth settlement.

Educated Youth Point,

"Shang Zhiqing, Shang Zhiqing, are you there?"

Shang Yanfang also got up early in the morning, wanting to put on a natural makeup look.

She had just finished applying the kind of natural makeup she wore in her past life when she heard someone calling her.

"I'm here," Shang Yanfang replied and came out of the house.

"Yanfang, I've come to propose marriage," Gao Jianguo said, pointing to the matchmaker Liu beside him.

"Shang Yanfang is so beautiful, she and Xiao Gao are such a perfect match!" Matchmaker Liu quickly stepped forward and grabbed Shang Yanfang's hand.

"Come in, have a seat and some water." Shang Yanfang led the two into the kitchen and poured them two cups of tea.

Liu, the matchmaker, took a sip of water and began to explain to Shang Yanfang the betrothal gifts that Gao Jianguo was going to give.

"Hey, Shang Zhiqing, Jianguo asked me to help him propose marriage to you. Jianguo said he'd give you a dowry of 188 yuan and a watch."

Matchmaker Liu was also very envious; this was the first time she had ever heard of such a large dowry.

Shang Yanfang glanced at Gao Jianguo, who was staring at her expectantly.

"I agree." Those words of agreement came out of his mouth.

She saw the man jump up excitedly, as if he had lost his bearings.

"Yanfang, I will be good to you, I will be good to you for the rest of my life."

Seeing the man's excited expression, Shang Yanfang couldn't help but be moved as well.

Matchmaker Liu was also very happy; once the two were engaged, she could sit back and wait for the red envelope.

"Hey, Shang Zhiqing, I heard your brother is in our village too. Shouldn't you tell him?"

"Aunt Liu, it's alright, my brother agreed."

"Let's go, I'll treat Uncle Captain and the old village chief to a meal later. Aunt Liu, you can come too," Gao Jianguo said excitedly.

"Alright, Gao, we'll be there in a bit." Aunt Liu replied, then went home, seeing that it was still early.

Besides Shang Yanfang, the other three girls from the educated youth settlement also went up the mountain.

Now, only Shang Yanfang and Gao Jianguo remain at the educated youth settlement.

"Gao Jianguo, where is my older brother?"

"It's at my house."

"Let's go to your place then, see if there's anything I can help with," Shang Yanfang said, sensing that the man's gaze was somewhat unusual.

"Fine!" Gao Jianguo reluctantly agreed. He had originally planned to spend this wonderful day chatting and getting to know his girl better.

The two walked slowly, and the old lady on the road greeted them with her blessings.

"Shang Zhiqing, Gao Wazi, it's good that you're engaged. Get married soon!" An old woman urged the two anxiously.

"Auntie, we...we'll try our best," Shang Yanfang stammered, terrified.

After the two men walked past the old woman,

Gao Jianguo leaned close to the young girl and asked, "When are we getting married? I want you to have my baby."

Shang Yanfang blushed, glared at Gao Jianguo, and ran away.

"Slow down, walk slowly, be careful not to fall." Gao Jianguo quickened his pace and caught up with Shang Yanfang.

"It's none of your business," Shang Yanfang said angrily, quickening her pace.

Gao Jianguo didn't speed up either, because he was afraid that if he did, the little girl would also speed up and they would be finished.

Gao Jianguo followed the little girl at a leisurely pace.

Gao Jianguo saw the little girl suddenly stop in front of a house, so he quickly walked a few steps to her side and said, "Yanfang, you don't need to wait for me. You can go in by yourself."

Shang Yanfang snapped out of her daze and glanced at the man. She hadn't gone in because she felt the entrance had changed.

"Let's go in now, your brother should still be home." Before Gao Jianguo could finish speaking, the little girl went inside.

"Gao Jianguo, how come your house is so clean?" Shang Yanfang asked incredulously, looking at the yard in front of her.

"Well, it's all thanks to my little rascal. She got up early this morning to sweep the floor." Grandpa Chen came out of the kitchen after hearing the little girl's voice.

Gao Jianguo scratched his head sheepishly.

"Grandpa Chen, I've missed you so much," Shang Yanfang said as soon as she saw the old man come out.

"You didn't even know you wanted to come and see me," Old Master Chen teased, looking at his future granddaughter-in-law.

"Grandpa," Shang Yanfang called out sweetly, and Old Master Chen stopped teasing her.

"Your older brother is quite good; he can even cook," said Grandpa Chen, pointing to the person cooking in the kitchen.

“Not only can my eldest brother cook, but my second brother can too. My mother said that men who can cook are good at finding wives,” Shang Yanfang proudly boasted.

"So, did you fall for that little brat because he can cook?" Old Master Chen asked in a low voice.

"Um……"

"Little sister, come help me." Before Shang Yanfang could answer, she heard her older brother calling her.

"Here you are, big brother." Shang Yanfang was about to go in to help when Gao Jianguo led her inside first.

"You talk to Grandpa, I'll go in and help my older brother."

"Come on, girl, let's continue our chat." Old Chen saw his grandson go inside to help and pulled Shang Yanfang to continue their conversation.

They didn't go inside to talk; instead, they sat on the stone bench by the kitchen door and began to chat.

"Girl, what's it about my grandson that you've taken a fancy to?" Old Master Chen asked gossipy.

He used to think his grandson would grow old alone, but who knew he would get married now?

"Grandpa, I just feel that he is a very nice person and he has helped me a lot."

When Grandpa Chen heard the little girl talk about Gao Jianguo, he thought he didn't seem like his grandson at all.

"Are you sure you haven't contacted the wrong person?" Old Master Chen asked uncertainly.

"Grandpa, what are you saying? I finally got a wife." Grandpa Chen's words were overheard by his eldest grandson, Gao Jianguo, who complained to his grandfather.

"Jianguo, I was just asking when the girl plans to marry you," Old Master Chen said with an awkward smile.

"Yanfang, let's go inside and rest for a while. Let's not talk to that senile old man." Gao Jianguo led the girl into the main room and then went out to help again.

Shang Yanfang looked around the room and found that it had become clean and bright.

"Little sister." Shang Yanfang's thoughts were interrupted, and she turned her head to find that it was her older brother.

"Brother, why are you here?"

"Hey little sister, I think Gao Jianguo is a really good person. He'll definitely treat you well in the future."

Shang Yanfang stared at her brother in shock.

"Brother, why are you saying this?"

“Little sister, it’s just a gut feeling, and after observing you these past few days, I know that Gao Jianguo can take good care of you.”

"Brother, I know. If he doesn't treat me well, I won't marry him."

"Little sister, I'm at ease knowing you're happy."

Shang Guohua took out another fifty yuan from his pocket and handed it to Shang Yanfang, saying, "Little sister, keep this money for yourself. I might not be able to come to your wedding, but you must be happy. I'm going back to the army this afternoon."
