Chapter 304: Wolf Cubs

Chu Xuhua led Shen Ruyue to the stable…
Fu Bao and Hou Fu were sleeping in the stable. With their eyes narrowed, they looked very at peace.
In front of the stable, Chu Xuhua held Shen Ruyue’s shoulders and asked her very seriously, “Ruyue, I want to marry you. I’ll treat you well. Are you willing to marry me?”
Shen Ruyue looked up at Chu Xuhua’s eyes. Those eyes were bright and filled with her reflection. When she saw this, her eyes suddenly teared up.
“Xuhua, I’ve been waiting for you to say this for a long time.”
Chu Xuhua’s heart skipped a beat and he pulled Shen Ruyue into his arms. “I’m sorry for making you wait for so long. It’s my fault.”
He said gently, “Ruyue, the first time I saw you, I felt that you were so beautiful that I didn’t dare to look at you directly. After I got to know you, I felt that you were so capable, literate, could help Fifth Sister, and knew so many things…”
“If Fifth Sister is like the moon, you’re like the stars beside her.”
“As for me, I’m a very ordinary farmer. Not only was my first engagement canceled, but I’m also illiterate. I only know how to farm. Sometimes, I even despise myself.”
“I’m worthless. How would I dare to dream of having stars?!”
Shen Ruyue hugged Chu Xuhua’s waist tightly and tears welled up in her eyes. “Xuhua, actually, I’m not as good as you think…”
She told Chu Xuhua about her having been to the prison. She could hide it from others, but not to Chu Xuhua.
Chu Xuhua’s heart ached. “I don’t mind. You were wronged in the first place. The one to blame is that Madam Zhang. She ate things she shouldn’t and accused you like a mad dog. She should be the one to be punished.”
“Ruyue, don’t tell anyone else about what you’ve suffered. Don’t tell Mother and the others either. I have to emphasize that I really don’t mind, but if word gets out, people will point a finger at you. It won’t be good for you.”
Shen Ruyue nodded and agreed happily. “Other than you and Qingzhi, no one else knows.”
Chu Xuhua smiled and said, “Ruyue, I’ll tell Mother about our marriage later and ask her to prepare a betrothal gift. Other than Brother An and Brother Nie, do you have any other people you are close to?”
Shen Ruyue shook her head. “No.”
Chu Xuhua said gently, “Then I’ll let Brother An and Brother Nie be the marriage witness, okay?”
“Ok.” Shen Ruyue leaned against Chu Xuhua’s chest and smiled with happy tears in her eyes.
In the future, she would no longer be a drifter.
For an orphan girl, having a family was her greatest wish in life.
Li Qingyu was cleaning the chickens with everyone. She was stunned when she inadvertently saw Chu Xuhua and Shen Ruyue coming over hand in hand. What is going on?
When she saw their happy faces, she guessed that Chu Xuhua had something to tell her. She quickly washed her hands and walked up to them.
At the new house, many people were gathered here to help prepare the banquet tomorrow.
Chu Xuhua wanted everyone to know about this joyous news. “Mother, I have something to tell you.”
Li Qingyu had already guessed half of it and was already grinning. “What do you want to tell me?”
In fact, she had already regarded Ruyue as her daughter-in-law in her heart.
Chu Xuhua glanced at everyone and said loudly, “Mother, can you help me prepare the betrothal gifts? I want to propose marriage to Ruyue.”
Li Qingyu’s smile reached her ears and she agreed readily. “Alright, I’ll prepare immediately. Three days later, you can officially propose to Ruyue.”
The villagers immediately congratulated her. “Qingyu, congratulations.”
“How wonderful. Xuhua is the child we watched grow up. He’s finally getting married.”
“The children have all grown up and are married one after another. Qingyu, your family is really blessed.”
Li Qingyu accepted all the good words and smiled. “When Xuhua gets married, please come and help again.”
“Of course, of course. We have to come and join in the fun.”
Li Qingyu was proud. “Alright, when the wedding date is set, I’ll inform you immediately.”
“Okay…”
Li Qingyu happily pulled Shen Ruyue into the house…
“Ruyue, do you have any special requests? Now that our family is well off, we’ll definitely satisfy all your requests. We will definitely prepare a grand wedding for you.”
Shen Ruyue hugged Li Qingyu and felt a lump in her throat. “Aunt, I don’t have any requests. I just want to marry Xuhua and build a family with him.”
Li Qingyu patted Shen Ruyue’s hand. “I understand you. Xuhua is a good child. He will treat you well. When you marry over, you can live in a new house. It’s just the two of you. You can eat by yourselves or come over to eat with us. It’s up to you…”
Shen Ruyue was very touched. It was rare to see such an open-minded and kind mother-in-law. “Thank you, Aunt.”
Li Qingyu said gently, “Don’t worry. What other brides have, you will also have it.”
Li Qingyu treated Shen Ruyue as her daughter and daughter-in-law.
Shen Ruyue could not help but shed tears of joy. “Thank you.”
Li Qingyu smiled gently. “Ruyue, my good child.” In the end, Shen Ruyue was only 17 or 18 years old. She looked mature, but at the bottom of her heart, she was still a child.
At the foot of the mountain.
An Shanwu looked at the large land and was very puzzled. “Miss Chu, you bought such a large area just to build a workshop?”
Chu Qingzhi said, “That’s right. Anyway, it’s not expensive. It’s only 20 taels.”
An Shanwu thought to himself that rich people are so willful.
“Miss Chu, are you still going to modify the blueprint?”
Chu Qingzhi shook her head. “There’s no need to modify it.”
An Shanwu said, “Then I’ll arrange for my people to break the ground right away.” Building a workshop was not like building a house. There was no need to find an auspicious date.
Chu Qingzhi nodded. “Okay.”
Then, An Shanwu took the blueprint and called 15 people over. They immediately got busy in an orderly manner.
Chu Qingzhi turned around and walked into the forest.
She planned to go to the place where the wolves gathered and see if there were any abandoned wolf cubs. She would pick a few and give one to Li Qingyin. The rest would be used to guard the workshop at the foot of the mountain.
The place where the wolves gathered was usually deep in the forest, near the mountains…
After Chu Qingzhi entered the forest, she flew deeper and landed beside a cypress tree.
There was a grassland around ten square meters at the side. A group of wolves was resting there. When they saw Chu Qingzhi coming over, they only glanced at her and continued to sleep with their eyes closed.
Chu Qingzhi looked at the wolf pack and asked, “Are there any wolf cubs?”
A wolf with a tuft of black fur on its head ran over and barked at Chu Qingzhi before running in a direction. «
