Chapter 38 It’s Dad!
Lingxi didn't understand what was going on, so she cheered herself up and dealt with it.

Pei Fuzhu was upset when she saw Lingxi, but fortunately she still remembered the purpose of her visit and asked patiently, "I heard that you have already made an appointment with someone?"

Lingxi nodded: "Yes."

Pei Fuzhu: "..."

Pei Fuzhu continued to ask, "Is it Gu Qingbei, the fourth son of the Gu family from the next village?"

Lingxi continued to nod.

She was not so sleepy now, and was in the mood to think about what Pei Bok Joo was trying to do.

Pei Fuzhu was silent, and after a moment of hesitation, she finally spoke: "Why don't you tell grandma that you can marry Gu Lao San? He's a worker in the city and he's not a bad guy. Gu Lao Si only has a good-looking face, but he can't lift anything, and he can't support you, and you have to support her."

Lingxi: “…”

That's a good point, don't say it next time.

Seeing Pei Bok Joo waiting for her answer with anticipation, Ling Xi blinked and pretended not to understand what she meant, as if she could not understand what Pei Bok Joo said.

"But I just like his good-looking face. He is so handsome." When she talked about Gu Si's good looks, her face was full of smiles.

Pei Fuzhu: "..."

Without waiting for Pei Fuzhu to say anything, Lingxi continued: "Why should I ask him to make money to support me? I have my uncle to support me!"

She asked as if it was natural and confident, and seemed very confused.

Pei Fuzhu: "..."

!!!

She suddenly remembered that in her previous life, she heard that her uncle saved his salary and later gave it all to Lingxi.

Mad!
I don’t care if you die!
Pei Bok Joo stamped her feet, turned and left.

Lingxi: “…”

Suddenly I felt like laughing.

She suddenly understood how Pei Bok Joo felt when she always came to her to seek attention, showing off and making sarcastic remarks to her in both open and covert ways.

Hi, I’m quite happy!

Gu Si came over with the lunch box and this time walked out of the door openly. Unexpectedly, he saw a big show as soon as he arrived at the door.

At that time, Pei Fuzhu was furious. Just as she walked to the door, she found that the old lady who had been chatting with people at the entrance of the village had returned at some point and was picking vegetables under the shade of a tree at the door.

She wanted to go back directly, but in the end, she stopped and walked a few steps towards the old lady, then she hesitated and called out in a vague voice, "Grandma."

The old lady ignored him.

Pei Bok Joo became a little bolder when she saw that the old lady didn't beat or scold her because Lingxi was going to get married.

"Grandma, I heard Ling Xier is getting engaged?"

The old lady still said nothing, just wanted to see what this dear daughter of God wanted to say.

Pei Fuzhu continued with a stiff upper lip: "I heard that the one to be settled is the fourth son of the Gu family, but didn't my aunt introduce the third son of the Gu family to me before? The third son of the Gu family is a regular worker in the city, with good looks and good character. Our Ling Xier is beautiful and has a good temper. How can marrying the fourth son of the Gu family, that second-rate guy, be compared to marrying the third son of the Gu family!
Grandma, look what I said..." is right!

Pei Fuzhu was going against her conscience and deliberately chose words that the old lady would like to hear. However, before she could finish her words, the old lady grabbed a branch and hit her with it.

"Speak, speak, speak, I told you to speak.

You just can’t stand seeing our Ling Xi’er doing well, I asked you to say…”

She hit Pei Fuzhu with every word she said, causing her to scream. When she turned around, she saw Gu Si carrying a lunch box.

Pei Fuzhu: "..."

!!!

When the old lady saw Gu Si, she smiled widely: "Are you here to look for Ling Xier? She should be up by now, go ahead."

She thought of something and quickly threw away the branch in her hand, smiling so kindly.

"Don't be afraid. Grandma is not like this normally. If you don't believe me, ask Ling Xier. Grandma is a very gentle old lady."

Gu Si: “…”

Gu Si held back his smile and nodded: "Okay, grandma, I'll go see Lingxi." After Gu Si left, Pei Fuzhu behind him saw the old lady's face change and she bent down to pick up the branch again.

Pei Fuzhu: "..."

!!!

She instantly shut herself in and ran away.

"I'll be a dog if I keep telling her off!"

She touched her arm, which was marked with red marks by the old lady. Hiss, it hurt so much!

Hearing the noise, Lingxi stuck her head out and met Gu Si, who was carrying a lunch box. They couldn't help laughing when their eyes met.

There was not much time in the morning, so Gu Si didn't make anything complicated. There were some wrapped wontons in the lunch box. He asked Lingxi to go wash up, and when she was done, the wontons could be ready.

Gu Si waited until Lingxi finished eating before settling the score: "Just now, who said something about the third brother? Why don't you explain it to me?"

Lingxi: “…”

!!!

"Well, wasn't that introduced by my aunt?"

She subconsciously shrank her neck in guilt, but then she said confidently: "I don't even know if he is round or flat, and then I have a fourth brother!

I have no idea what his situation is, Fourth Brother, you can’t wrongly accuse him.”

She still felt a little aggrieved at the end.

It has nothing to do with her in the first place!

Gu Si knew that Lingxi had nothing to do with him. Seeing that the little girl was still feeling wronged, he felt a little distressed. He stepped forward and held her in his arms, "It's my fault, Fourth Brother. I'm late."

How could Gu Si blame Lingxi? He only blamed himself for not appearing in front of the girl the first time he fell in love with her.

It made her worry about gains and losses for such a long time.

Lingxi felt a little embarrassed and buried her head in Gu Si's arms and refused to get up.

Gu Si stroked her hair again and again, thinking of Pei Fuzhu whom he had met before, and frowned slightly: "Your cousin, she seems to be very familiar with the third brother."

Gu Si has experienced a lot and his mental strength is strong, so he has a very accurate grasp of people's emotional changes.

When Pei Fuzhu mentioned Gu Qingnan, she felt a mixture of anger and resentment, but she herself didn't know whether she was aware of it or not.

Lingxi: “…”

!!!

Wow!

What's the story behind this?
Lingxi was a little confused: "Then...she was still promoting Gu Lao San in front of me, why?"

Lingxi and Gu Si looked at each other.

Pei Bok Joo’s affairs cannot be figured out for the time being.

Fortunately, this had little to do with Gu Si and Lingxi, so Gu Si and Lingxi talked about the sketch.

Although Gu Si had previously told Zhao Jianan that he would take Lingxi with him, he was just talking. He would only take Lingxi if she was willing to go. If she wasn't willing...

forget about it!

As for whether he stood Zhao Jianan up, it doesn’t matter. He should be used to it anyway.

Zhao Jianan, who had no idea what Gu Si was thinking, said: "..."

I thank you!
Lingxi's expression changed when she saw the sketch.

The person in the portrait is wearing a long gown with dark patterns of green bamboo embroidered on it. He is standing in front of the counter, holding an account book in his left hand and a brush in his right hand. His delicate and charming face is smiling.

It's dad!
At that time, my father's official identity was the owner of a cloth shop.

This dress was made of the fabric she chose and she asked the embroiderer in the shop to make it.

But at this moment, Lingxi suddenly felt a tearing and squeezing in the depths of her soul, and cold sweat dripped down her face...
