The issue was that they hadn’t even a proper betrothal gift. Wasn’t this an embarrassment waiting to happen?

...

Seeing that Mrs. Liu went silent for a long time, Gu Zishan quickly nudged her and said, “Mother, if Hu Chun doesn’t have any bad habits, please don’t stop me.”

Mrs. Liu saw that her attitude was firm, so she didn’t try to persuade her anymore. Instead, she pointed to her head and said, “You… you’ll regret this one day.”

She paused for a moment. “No, we can’t just let you go like this. 1 have to talk to your father. I’ll ask him to give you some white potatoes as your dowry.”

Gu Zishan immediately pulled her back when she heard that. “Mother, what are you so anxious for? We haven’t even approached him for the marriage. At least, wait until the engagement is settled.”

Mrs. Liu was stunned for a moment and nodded. She then turned around and left with Gu Zishan.

When Father Gu saw they had left, he finally heaved a sigh of relief.

He then got up and went to the village chief’s house.

He would be preparing some food and wine and asking the village chief to invite Hu Chun over to inquire about his preferences.

The village chief looked at him in surprise and said, “1 didn’t expect you to take a fancy to that kid.

“But you have to consider this clearly. They came from far away, and we don’t know their roots. It will be troublesome if there are any problems in the future.”

“I saw value in him as a person. That kid’s eyes are clear and bright; he’s not a bad person.”

“That’s true. It just so happens that they need wood to build a house. How about we invite him over about this? You can talk to him when the time comes.”

“Sure, I’ll leave this matter to you, Uncle Qian.” Father Gu paused and added, “From your words, it seems that someone had also taken a fancy to Hu Chun. Did someone ask you about it?”

“I heard from Jiaxi that many people in the village are asking about him.”

“I see. I’ll have to trouble you to invite him over.”

“No problem; I will ask some questions for you too.”

Three days later, after the foundation of the new village was cleared, the brick factory began transporting bricks over.

Hu Chun finally found the village chief to discuss buying wood.

After the village chief made an appointment for him to check out their inventory and talk in detail that night, he immediately asked Qian Jiaxi to send a letter to Father Gu.

After Father Gu received the news, he took a pound of cured meat and went to Widow Hua’s home to buy a fat rooster. He also carried a large jar of wine and called the patriarch to go to the village head’s house together.

When the village chief saw the thing in Father Gu’s hand, he exclaimed, “Woah! You’ve really put in a lot of money.”

“Not really. If you want to treat someone, you have to do it sincerely. We can’t let them look down on us.” Father Gu said with a smile.

“True that. Come in and take a seat.” After the village chief finished speaking, he called Mrs. Bai over and asked her to cook the food Father Gu had brought.

By the time Hu Chun arrived, the courtyard was smelling with the smell of cooking meat.

After entering the house, the village chief saw that Hu Chun had changed into a new set of clothes and looked much more energetic. He teased, “Young man, you’re sure getting more and more energetic. Come, sit down and have a cup of tea.”

“Thank you, Uncle Qian.” Hu Chun sat down at the square table after he finished speaking.

“I heard you plan to build brick houses in the village?” The village chief asked.

“Indeed. The bricks in the kiln yard are now one copper for two bricks. I think it’s quite affordable, so 1 ordered to build brick houses. It also allows us to build faster than a mud house.” Hu Chun explained.

“There’s such a good thing? Last year, it was three coppers for two bricks.” The patriarch exclaimed in surprise.

“Maybe no one’s buying it now.”

“That’s true. Every one wants to clear their stock while they can. By the way, 1 have gone over to the wood workshop to take a look.

“Rafters are fine, but wooden beams might not be enough.

“Especially the central pillar; we still lack half of what you need..”
