Upon hearing this, the matchmaker also smiled and said, "Yes, yes, that is indeed the truth."

"Mrs. Lin is a good woman who lives at home. She is so thoughtful even when washing clothes. It's not easy!"

Mrs. Lin felt a little embarrassed. She tugged at the corner of her clothes and smiled at the matchmaker and Gu Yunxi.

Gu Yunxi had a pretty good impression of this Madam Lin in front of him. She looked kind, honest and decent. He wondered if she would get along well with her father.

"Mrs. Lin, how about we find a place to eat something and you can have a chat with my dad?" Gu Yunxi suggested with a smile.

"As you know, my father just recovered from a serious illness and is not in good health yet. He can't walk long distances, so I had to rent a carriage to bring him here."

Gu Yunxi pointed inside the carriage. Madam Lin just took a glance, lowered her head and nodded.

They found a quiet teahouse and sat down to drink tea and eat snacks.

He Dachun carried Boss Gu off the carriage and sat opposite Madam Lin. Boss Gu lowered his head and did not dare to speak.

Mrs. Lin also sat upright, her hands clasped, her head lowered, her face slightly flushed, and she did not speak.

The matchmaker greeted with a smile: "Mrs. Lin, Mr. Gu, come, have some tea and snacks. I heard that the snacks here taste good."

Gu Yunxi also smiled and said, "Yes, Madam Lin, please try it. Don't be restrained. We are not picky people."

Seeing the matchmaker and Gu Yunxi's warm hospitality, Mrs. Lin gradually opened up and became less restrained.

A few people sat together, slowly drinking tea, eating snacks, and chatting about the daily life in the town. The atmosphere was not awkward.

After finishing their snacks, Gu Yunxi and the matchmaker exchanged a glance. The matchmaker smiled and said, "Mrs. Lin, don't you still need to wash clothes? How about we go back first?"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Lin hurriedly stood up, said goodbye to Gu Yunxi and the others, and then left the teahouse with the matchmaker.

Gu Yunxi watched them leave, then turned to Old Master Gu and said, "Dad, shall we go back too?"

Boss Gu nodded slightly and let He Dachun carry him to the carriage.

On the way, Boss Gu looked uncomfortable, with his head down, not daring to look at Gu Yunxi.

Gu Yunxi raised the corner of his mouth and asked with a smile: "Dad, what do you think of Madam Lin?"

"Um, it's good. I, I have no objection." Boss Gu lowered his head and answered in a low voice.

With his body, if Madam Lin liked him, he would burn incense and pray to Buddha. How could he have the qualifications to choose her?

Besides, Madam Lin left a very good impression on him. If they could get together, she would definitely be a good woman for the family.

Hearing what Boss Gu said, Gu Yunxi nodded. After sending Boss Gu home, she returned to the town and found the matchmaker.

"What did Madam Lin say?"

"What did your father say?"

Gu Yunxi and the matchmaker spoke at the same time, and both laughed.

Gu Yunxi smiled and said, "Let me ask first, what does Madam Lin think of my father?"

The matchmaker held the handkerchief in her hand and said with a smile, "Ms. Gu, Mistress Lin is full of praise for you, and she treats your father well, too."

"She just told me that if you don't mind her losing her son and husband, then she will live with your father and don't want anything else."

Hearing the matchmaker say this, Gu Yunxi's smile widened and he knew what was going on.

"Okay, thank you for your help. Go back and tell Madam Lin that our family will not treat her unfairly."

"Also, you can tell her that my father has separated from my grandparents, and that when she marries my father, she will be the mistress of the household."

"We are building a house now. If Madam Lin follows my father, she may have to live in the old house with my father first."

When the matchmaker heard that they were going to build a new house, his eyes lit up and he quickly agreed with a smile.

"Okay, okay, I'll go tell Madam Lin later. Hey, Madam Gu, when are you going to let Madam Lin come to your house?"

Gu Yunxi thought for a moment and said, "Maybe in three days. I'll have someone pick her up."

After agreeing on a date with the matchmaker, Gu Yunxi went to the furniture shop.

Three days later, Gu Yunxi indeed sent He Dachun to drive a horse-drawn carriage to find the matchmaker and take Madam Lin to the old Gu family.

At the old Gu family, Boss Gu was wearing a red suit, looking a little nervous, sitting on the bed.

The village chief and his wife also came and sat there, looking out the door. They had already learned from Gu Yunxi that Gu Yunxi had found a wife for Boss Gu.

At this time, the couple came, not only to witness, but also to see what the new daughter-in-law that Gu Yunxi found for her father was like.

In Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu's room, Gu Yunxi was talking to them.

"Grandpa, my grandma has had a stroke, and my second aunt is in confinement. There is no one to take care of my dad. My dad's health is such that he won't be able to walk for another year or two. So as his daughter, I decided to find a wife for him."

"The new bride will be here soon. Do you want to come out and meet her? It's okay if you don't have time to come out. I'll just tell you, and you don't need to nod your head to agree."

"After all, my father has been separated from his parents. At his age, he can always make decisions on such small matters on his own."

After hearing this, Mr. Gu was shocked. His eldest granddaughter found a wife for his eldest son without saying a word? This was simply too outrageous!

"How can this be? Your father is my son. If you want to find a wife for your father, your grandmother and I must agree. How can you, as a daughter, do such a thing?"

Old Master Gu was worried that if the new daughter-in-law turned out to be a powerful person, then his eldest son would be completely out of his control.

He won't allow this to happen!

Gu Yunxi had already thought about it and said, "In that case, then fine, you pay the bride price. Nowadays, marrying a wife requires at least one or two taels of silver. If you pay the silver, I have no objection to finding a new one for my father."

"As for the one or two taels of silver I gave out, I will take it back later. My father is indeed worthy of being my biological son. It is only right that I pay for my father's marriage!"

Although Mr. Gu seems to be noncompetitive, he is actually the one who supports Mrs. Gu behind the scenes. Half of the reason why Mrs. Gu treated her like that before was because Mr. Gu acquiesced.

Gu Yunxi knew clearly that a miser like Old Man Gu would never be willing to spend even a tael of silver to help Boss Gu get married.

So, she said this on purpose, otherwise, it would mean that Mr. Gu didn't care about his eldest son's life or death!

Having already lost face once, Mr. Gu is fed up with the villagers' pointing fingers. This time, he will not dare to ignore his eldest son's marriage.

Hearing that Gu Yunxi wanted one or two taels of silver, Mr. Gu really felt distressed. Then, he forced a smile and said, "Yunxi, I know you are a powerful person. I am also worried that you will be deceived. What if the new daughter-in-law is a bad person and bullies your father..."

"But, that's hard to say. I'll wait and see. If the new daughter-in-law is a well-behaved one, then I'll do as you say."

Gu Yunxi curled the corners of his mouth and said, "See, the so-called father-son love is not worth even this little ounce of silver."
