I'm dressed up as the timid eldest daughter, and the whole family has to listen to me!

Wang Guihua sighed after hearing Su Hanzhang's words.

“Yes, after all, it will be Banxia and him spending their lives together. As her mother, I can’t be with Banxia every moment. Whether their life is good or bad depends on Banxia herself. Why don’t I go and ask Banxia now? If Banxia agrees, then you should talk to Xiao Wei about this and ask him to find a matchmaker to come and propose marriage as soon as possible, so that Su Mo can give up on this idea!”

Su Hanzhang nodded.

"Then you should go quickly. Since we have nothing to do in the first month of the lunar year, let's settle this matter as soon as possible. That way, if Banxia really wants to go to the capital with Wei Kezhi in the future, we can feel more at ease."

Wang Guihua immediately got up and went to Su Banxia's room. As soon as she reached the door, she saw Su Banxia giving Wei Kezhi acupuncture, so she stood outside the door and knocked.

"Banxia, ​​I need to talk to you about something."

Su Banxia nodded.

"Mother, please come in and sit down."

He then turned to Wei Kezhi and instructed him.

"Remove the needles in fifteen minutes. You can take the medicine and decoct it yourself."

Wei Kezhi stood up.

"Okay, you two chat, I'll be going now."

Wang Guihua glanced at Wei Kezhi and nodded with a smile. After Wei Kezhi left, Wang Guihua took Su Banxia's hand and sat down.

"Banxia, ​​I want to discuss your relationship with Wei Kezhi with you."

When Su Banxia heard Wang Guihua bring up the matter, her face flushed.

"What...what happened...Mother..."

Wang Guihua said with a smile:

“Your father and I have already discussed this. If you really have feelings for Wei Kezhi, then we won’t drag it out any longer. We’ll just have Wei Kezhi find a matchmaker to come and propose marriage as soon as possible. A few days ago, when Lou Wangyue came to visit us, Wei Kezhi personally came to me to discuss this matter. It’s just that I’ve been busy these past few days and haven’t had a chance to tell you. We think this matter mainly depends on your opinion. If you agree, then I’ll go and talk to Wei Kezhi right now.”

Seeing that Wang Guihua had been so direct, Su Banxia felt there was no need to hide anything anymore, so she spoke frankly:

"Father and Mother, I've thought this through. Go and talk to Wei Kezhi. I want to marry him. Tell him to find someone to propose marriage as soon as possible."

Seeing that Su Banxia already had a plan, Wang Guihua sighed.

“Sigh, I don’t know if this choice is right or wrong, but since you like him and we think that Xiao Wei really likes you, we, as your parents, have no choice but to grant your wish. Now we’ve arranged for Xiao Wei to propose marriage early, so that if you really go with him in the future, you’ll have a proper reason to stay and avoid being gossiped about by the villagers.”

Su Banxia nodded.

"I understand, Mother. I know you're all doing this for my own good. I'll listen to you on all matters."

Seeing that Su Banxia had agreed to this, Wang Guihua also stood up and said:

"Alright, then I'll go talk to Wei Kezhi about this right away."

After saying that, Wang Guihua turned around and went downstairs to knock on Wei Kezhi's door. Su Banxia had agreed to this, and Wang Guihua didn't want to delay any longer. She was also afraid that something else might go wrong and Su Mo might do something irreversible, which would be hard to explain later.

A moment later, Wei Ke came over and opened the door. She was somewhat surprised to see Wang Guihua standing there.

"Auntie, what brings you here? Is there something you need to see me about?"

Wang Guihua nodded.

"Let's go inside and talk."

Wei Kezhi stepped aside to make way, and Wang Guihua went straight in. Seeing that Wei Kezhi's room was quite clean, she sat down at the table and said with a smile:

"Xiao Wei, come and sit down. Auntie has something to tell you today."

Upon hearing Wang Guihua's words, Wei Kezhi became somewhat nervous. He could only walk over and sit next to Wang Guihua, looking at her hesitantly as he said:

"Auntie, just say what you want to say."

Wang Guihua began:

"You said you wanted to marry our Banxia, ​​does that still stand?"

Upon hearing Wang Guihua's words, Wei Kezhi's eyes widened immediately, and he nodded repeatedly in agreement.

"Yes, yes, Auntie, this promise will always stand. I will never marry anyone but Banxia in this lifetime."

Seeing how determined Wei Kezhi was, Wang Guihua was quite satisfied.

"Since you've said that, then I'll tell you the truth. Your uncle and I have just decided to agree to your marriage with Banxia. In the next few days, take advantage of your free time to find someone to come and finalize the engagement. That way, if Banxia really wants to go to the capital with you in the future, we, as her parents, can rest assured, right?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Kezhi immediately stood up happily and bowed deeply to Wang Guihua.

"Auntie, I'm relieved to hear you say that. I'll do whatever you say. Tell me how much dowry money we need to prepare and what else we need to prepare in the near future, and I'll go to the city to prepare it right away. This is my first time doing this, and I don't know anything about it, so please forgive me if I do anything inappropriate. Also, I'm not very familiar with the people in the village. Who do you think I should ask to be my matchmaker?"

Wang Guihua thought for a moment and then spoke:

“I think Grandma Sun is a good person. She has a good relationship with our family. She was the one who arranged your brother’s marriage with Lianhua. Besides, she’s an old woman and it’s not easy for her. If we ask her to be our matchmaker, we can give her something, and she will accept it as a matter of course.”

Wei Kezhi nodded.

“Okay, Auntie, I’ll listen to you. What do you think I need to prepare for the betrothal gifts? Give me a list and I’ll go to the city to buy them right away. I’ll also buy the things for the matchmaker today and bring them back. Tomorrow morning I’ll go to Grandma Sun’s house and ask her to come and help me with the matchmaking.”

"Alright, no need to be too extravagant. I'll give you a list, just buy the food according to this list. Today I'll go with your uncle to invite a few relatives to come over for a meal tomorrow to witness this. Anyway, it's the Lunar New Year, and we have enough food prepared at home. We'll celebrate properly then."

Wei Kezhi nodded.

"Write down what else we need for food and drink at home, and I'll go to the market to buy it together today. Or I can ask Banxia to come with me, and let her choose what she likes."

Wang Guihua nodded.

"Alright, you can figure it out yourselves. I have to return this bank note to you; we can't afford to keep it. You can use this bank note to buy some things."

As she spoke, Wang Guihua took out the silver note that Wei Kezhi had given her earlier. Upon seeing this, Wei Kezhi quickly waved his hand and refused.

“Auntie, you can’t do that. There’s no reason to take back what you’ve given away. These banknotes are for you. Don’t fight with me anymore. Just keep them for your own future use.”
