    “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.


    Madam Dong was quite familiar with the surrounding viges and knew which matchmaker had a good reputation and a good temperament.


    As for the betrothal gifts, Shao Qingyuan would prepare them himself.


    Currently, they were only to be engaged. The wedding had to wait until Gu Yundong reached adulthood. Moreover, both parties nned to find Gu Dajiang first.


    After all, he was marrying someone’s daughter. How could his father-inw not be present?


    Madam Dong and Aunt Ke also pulled Madam Yang over while discussing.


    Although Madam Yang didn’t quite understand, they would still ask for her opinion and patiently exin it to her.


    Gu Yundong listened at the side and felt dizzy. So there were so many rules?


    After Madam Dong left, she heaved a sigh of relief and quickly ran to see her 50 acres ofnd with Tong Shuitao to sober up.


    Zhao Zhu knew that she wasing, so he quickly brought Gousheng to the field. To Gu Yundong’s surprise, Big Qian seemed to be busy with the fruit trees as well.


    After all, 50 acres ofnd was not small. When they were busy, they were really busy. Gu Yundong could not possibly let Zhao Zhu and his son work day and night. They had agreed back then that she would give them a certain amount of money. As for whom to hire for help, it was up to them.


    During therge-scale nting, Zhao Zhu had indeed hired many people. Now that he was no longer as busy, he was the only one working with Gousheng and Big Qian.


    Zhao Zhu had surrounded the 50 acres of orchard with a fence. There were also two dogs inside, looking very fierce.


    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 ces and had already grown, so they looked lush and pleasing.


    The ce 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?”
