Best friends transmigrate into a book! They marry a high-ranking official! If you run, I run too!

Zhong Meixian waved her hand and said, "No, no, this is not something we can think about."

Zhong Meixian had just said it wasn't her place to think about this. Director Wang, who had just gone home for a quick meal and then hopped on his bicycle, had already arrived outside the Gu family's door.

Director Wang knocked on the door, carrying a pile of things in his hand, his face full of wrinkles from smiling.

Gu Juyuan was startled when he opened the door.

Director Wang stepped into the courtyard and said, "Uncle, you're home!"

Director Wang was very outgoing and familiar with everyone this time.

Zhong Meixian came out of the kitchen and asked, "Who is it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Director Wang carrying things and smiling broadly.

"Director Wang?"

Director Wang smiled and said, "It's me, Auntie," before heading straight for the Gu family's main room.

Gu Yinfeng came over out of curiosity and asked what was going on.

Zhong Meixian nudged her with her elbow, "Go prepare some tea!"

Gu Yinfeng hurried over.

Gu Xiaohua followed him into the kitchen and asked, "Who is it?"

Since they started working there, Director Wang hadn't visited the Gu family's home yet, so the two of them didn't know him.

Gu Yinfeng shook her head, "I don't know, we'll find out soon enough."

Wen Tang was in the toilet at the moment, so Zhong Meixian had to go inside to greet Director Wang.

After Zhong Meixian entered the room, she quickly moved a long bench for Director Wang to sit on.

Director Wang then sat down.

Zhong Meixian then asked, "Has the director eaten?"

Unsure why Director Wang had come, Zhong Meixian was a little nervous.

Director Wang asked amiably, "You've already eaten, Auntie, have you eaten yet?"

"I ate, I ate."

Zhong Meixian then asked, "Are you looking for Xiaotang?"

Director Wang nodded.

Zhong Meixian said, "She went to the toilet and will be back in a bit."

Just then, Gu Yinfeng brought over some tea, and Zhong Meixian quickly got up and personally handed it to her, saying, "Have some sweet soup."

Director Wang stood up and took it with both hands, and told Zhong Meixian with a smile, "It's okay, it's okay that Xiao Tang isn't here. We came mainly for Shu He."

"Shuhe..."

"Yinfeng, go and call Shuhe!"

After finishing her meal, Gu Shuhe went to help with the chores.

Zhong Meixian asked to call Gu Shuhe, and Director Wang did not object.

As soon as Gu Yinfeng left, Director Wang asked Zhong Meixian with a smile, "Auntie, do you have your eye on the secretary's son?"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Meixian hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to touch her face, legs, or arms. She said nervously, "Hehe, well, look at what the director is saying. How could we possibly look down on the eldest son of the Party Secretary?"

After Zhong Meixian finished speaking, Gu Shuhe was also called over by Gu Yinfeng.

Wen Tang finished using the toilet and came over from the backyard. Gu Xiaohua was waiting there and told her, "It seems like Shuhe's matchmaker has arrived."

“The matchmaker…” Wen Tang immediately remembered who it was.

After quickly rinsing his hands in the basin by the well, Wen Tang ran towards the main room.

Inside the main room, Director Wang had just asked Gu Shuhe, "Shuhe, have you taken a liking to the Secretary's son?"

Before Gu Shuhe could speak, Director Wang happily told her, "They've taken a liking to you."

"The secretary's wife and son are both very satisfied with you."

Wen Tang ran into the house, and Director Wang gave her more good news: "Xiao Tang, I have great news to tell you, the county party secretary's family has taken a liking to Shu He."

Wen Tang's lips moved slightly, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

From Wen Tang's perspective, this is not a particularly joyous occasion, but for ordinary people, it is indeed a joyous occasion.

Ultimately, this is Gu Shuhe's marriage, not hers.

Even if Gu Shuhe wasn't her biological sister, this marriage wasn't her decision to make.

Moreover, objectively speaking, this marriage is indeed the best marriage for Gu Shuhe.

First, Shen Tingci's appearance is a perfect match for Gu Shuhe, and secondly, there's their family background.

Realistically speaking, it won't be easy for Gu Shuhe to find someone like that again.

Aside from her family background, which might make her mother-in-law very difficult, everything else about her is impeccable.

If a man isn't ugly, he won't have to worry about money, and he won't have a few ugly kids in the future, leading to a life where every penny has to be carefully managed.

So Wen Tang originally had something to say, but after thinking about it, she didn't say anything and, like Director Wang, waited for Gu Shuhe's answer.

If she were to speak, she would definitely say it's not appropriate, that they can't afford such a threshold.

Gu Shuhe looked at her, seemingly wanting to hear her opinion.

After thinking for a moment, Wen Tang finally spoke up, "This concerns your entire life, and ultimately, you are the one who can make the decision. Do you think the other person is suitable?"

After listening, Gu Shuhe thought for a moment and then asked, "Why did they choose me?"

With just one sentence, Wen Tang understood that her sister-in-law still had her eye on the other man.

Yes, anyone with eyes can see that Shen Tingci is beautiful. Aside from her cold demeanor, she is undeniably beautiful.

Young girls especially like the cool and aloof style.

Wen Tang suddenly realized that Gu Yanli seemed aloof on the surface, but he was actually quite cunning and sly inside. Hehe, that was exactly the kind of person she liked.

Hopefully, Shen Tingci is just a cold-hearted person on the outside.

When Gu Shuhe asked why he had chosen her, Director Wang immediately laughed and said, "Oh, silly girl, you're so beautiful, who else would I choose if not you?"

Gu Shuhe lowered her eyes, her face flushed, and she pursed her lips, saying, "I... I'll listen to my family."

Director Wang then looked at Zhong Meixian.

Zhong Meixian then looked at Gu Juyuan, who was guarding outside the door.

Gu Juyuan did not immediately go to work.

Although the old man is usually as quiet as a ghost, he always steps up when something happens at home.

For example, right now, when it comes to his daughter's marriage, he seems very busy (picking at the stool leg by the door) but in fact he is always concerned about what is happening inside.

Seeing Zhong Meixian looking over, he immediately said, "Shuhe has been an honest child since she was little. She doesn't say a word for ten days or half a month. She's not capable of anything. If she becomes the secretary's wife, it's... a disgrace to the secretary's family." Originally, it should have been a disgrace to the family, but Gu Juyuan changed it before he could finish speaking.

His family may not be as prestigious as the county party secretary's, but his daughter is from a respectable and honest family, and there is no way she is disgracing anyone.

However, he knew his family's status and was afraid that his daughter would suffer if she married into the family.

Gu Juyuan's meaning was quite clear: he disagreed.

Zhong Meixian nodded, agreeing with Gu Juyuan's words. "Yes, Director, our Shuhe is our own daughter, and it's not that she's bad, but marrying the Secretary's son is truly an insult to them."

Director Wang quickly said, "That's not true. The county party secretary's family doesn't care about such things."

"Moreover, the secretary's wife is very fond of Shuhe."

This statement did make Zhong Meixian somewhat tempted.

If the mother-in-law approves, the woman will not suffer too much after marrying into the family.

Besides, people from such family backgrounds don't suffer much hardship anyway. It's just that behind closed doors, their family background isn't very prosperous and they might experience hardship. If the mother-in-law likes them...

Gu Juyuan asked from the doorway, "How old is the secretary's son?"

"She's twenty-seven," Director Wang told the truth.

"Twenty-seven?"

"Never been married even once?" Gu Juyuan asked.

Zhong Meixian immediately became alert.

Wen Tang's unfriendly gaze also fell on Director Wang.
