“Yundong.” Madam Dong smiled at her. “I’m actually here today to propose marriage for Qingyuan.”
“Logically speaking, the marriage proposal should have been discussed between the elders of both sides. However, you know Qingyuan’s situation. I watched him grow up, so I’m taking advantage of him now and acting as his elder. As for your family’s situation, I also know that you’re in charge of the family, but you’re young and don’t know anything about marriage. I’ve been quite familiar with Aunt Ke recently, so I thought that we should get her to help me with the process.”
Gu Yundong immediately nodded. She knew nothing about these things. It was naturally better to have an elder who knew.
Madam Dong went to talk to Aunt Ke. The marriage proposal process was not simple. They had to hire a matchmaker first.
In the countryside, some procedures were not as rigorous, but Shao Qingyuan valued Gu Yundong, so he naturally had to follow the rules.

As for the betrothal gifts, Shao Qingyuan would prepare them himself.
However, when they saw Zhao Zhu and the others, the two dogs still obediently ran over.
Zhao Zhu made them acknowledge Gu Yundong before leading them inside.
The orchard was now divided into pieces. There were loquats, mulberries, cherries, strawberries, and peaches. Most of them had been moved from other places and had already grown, so they looked lush and pleasing.
The place was still too small. Now that she had money in her hands, shouldn’t she set up a farm?
Gu Yundong thought about it and could not help but say, “I didn’t expect Uncle Zhao to be able to find so many fruit trees. At that time, I thought that half of them would be good enough. The orchard is also well-managed. Uncle Zhao, you’ve worked hard.”
Zhao Zhu’s cold and stern face softened slightly. He smiled and pointed at Big Qian behind him. “Big Qian found quite a lot.”
Gu Yundong was surprised. She looked at the person who had been following them silently.
Big Qian was still a little embarrassed. He said softly, “It’s just a coincidence.”
“Coincidence?”
