Reborn as the Blissful Wife in the countryside

Chapter 1311: Getting Married

Qin San Lang, worried she might be scared, changed the words "kill without mercy."

Gu Jinli listened and said, "Today is already the tenth day, so there are only ten days left. Hurry and come home with me to discuss our wedding with Third Grandpa, Third Grandma, and my parents."

Their wedding was originally scheduled for the end of March next year, after her birthday. This December, Brother Luo Wu and Eldest Sister were set to marry, but now they must go to the Northwest. There is no time to wait; they must marry first.

As she spoke, she grabbed Qin San Lang’s hand and ran home.

Qin San Lang looked at her side profile, feeling both guilty and grateful. She treated him so well, yet he couldn’t give her a proper wedding.

With a bang, Gu Jinli pushed open her family’s door, where Brother Cheng, wrapped up like a ball, holding a bowl of soy milk, stood near the corridor behind the door. He glared at her and said, "Bai Cai, you’ve come back?"

Hmph, yesterday she personally went to bring Brother San Lang back. Last night they even had dinner and ate pine nuts together. Early this morning, she ran to Brother San Lang’s house, while he was ordered by Big Brother to sweep snow with Da Tuan all morning. Second Sister did nothing, yet always made this vegetable watcher worry.

Gu Jinli looked at Brother Cheng and grinned at him, "Congratulations, you won’t have to watch the vegetable field anymore."

Then she asked, "Is everyone at home? I have something important to tell them. If someone isn’t here, hurry and send someone to call them back."

Brother Cheng frowned, listening to Second Sister, and asked, "Second Sister, what do you mean?"

Not watch the vegetable field anymore?

Could it be that Brother San Lang finally couldn’t stand Second Sister’s fierceness and wants to break off the engagement?

How could this be!

Brother Cheng pulled out the small knife Qin San Lang gave him and said fiercely, "Brother San Lang, are you bullying my Second Sister?"

With a slap, Gu Jinli smacked his head and said, "Bullying your head, quickly put the knife away. Your Second Sister is getting married."

What!

Brother Cheng was petrified. Getting married?

What nonsense is Second Sister talking? Isn’t Eldest Sister supposed to be getting married?

Qin San Lang patted his head, smiling, "Yes, something happened at the camp, and your Second Sister and I may need to marry earlier."

Ah?

If Brother San Lang says so, it must be true.

Brother Cheng looked at Gu Jinli, then at Qin San Lang, wanting to laugh and cry at the same time. He was pleased that his Second Sister finally married someone she liked but sad that his Bai Cai was about to be uprooted!

For a moment, the little fellow felt a mix of emotions, his face constantly changing.

Gu Jinli said, "Stop twitching your face, hurry and find someone to call Grandpa Qin back too."

At this time, if Elder Qin wasn’t at the Qin house, he’d be helping at the workshop.

Brother Cheng quickly shouted towards Da Tuan in the gatehouse, "Da Tuan, Da Tuan, quickly go to the workshop to call back Dad, Big Brother, Third Grandpa, and Grandpa Qin."

Second Sister is getting married!

"Got it." Da Tuan responded, saluted Qin San Lang and Gu Jinli, then hurried to call people at the workshop.

Gu Dashan and others returned quickly, entered the home dining room, and saw Qin San Lang and Gu Jinli kneeling on the ground. Third Grandma, Mrs. Cui, and Jinxiu were sitting at the table crying, so they hurriedly asked, "What’s going on? Why are you crying? Stop crying, we’ve been through all kinds of storms, let’s talk first."

Then went to help Qin San Lang up, "Is there some misunderstanding? Quickly get up and explain to us, the family won’t blame you."

San Lang has always been a straightforward child, even if he made a mistake, it wouldn’t be a big one.

Qin San Lang did not stand up but handed General Guo’s letter and orders to Gu Dashan, saying, "Uncle Dashan, please take a look."

Gu Dashan took the orders and letters and began to read. He didn’t recognize some words, so he asked Gu Jin’an. After understanding the full meaning, his face paled, almost fainting: "San Lang, you, you are going to the Northwest... what about Xiao Yu?!"

The engagement had been set, and they were supposed to marry in March next year. If San Lang went to the Northwest now, what if something happened to Xiao Yu?

Xiao Yu had already endured much hardship and couldn’t suffer the pain of widowhood!

Gu Dashan was deeply distressed and started shedding tears.

Gu Jinli, however, looked at him and smiled, "Dad, it’s not Brother Qin going to the Northwest, it’s me and Brother Qin who are going to the Northwest. Both of us are going; General Guo’s letter said we can take family members, with no limit on numbers."

This was stated in the imperial decree, mainly because too many people had died in the Northwest. The Lord Emperor wanted to bring some people over, preferably entire families, male and female, so they could have children and replenish Northwest’s population.

If you retake the lost cities, and you have no people to fill them, it’s useless.

"What? Even you are going?!" Gu Dashan was shocked, "No, no, that place in the Northwest is too dangerous, it’s not a place for a girl like you..."

Regarding how dangerous, as a father, Gu Dashan wasn’t able to say. He looked at Mrs. Cui, saying, "His mother, you should talk to Xiao Yu, she really can’t go to the Northwest!"

But Gu Jinli said, "Dad, I’ve already been engaged to Brother Qin, considered part of the Qin family. Besides, the books say husbands and wives should share hardships. If Brother Qin goes to the Northwest to fight battles while I’m at home enjoying life, then we’d be like birds on the same tree, flying separately when disaster strikes. Do you want your daughter to be a heartless bad person who doesn’t care about her husband’s life and only cares about her good days?"

This?

Gu Dashan’s mouth couldn’t find words, for Gu Jinli’s argument left him speechless.

Gu Jin’an glared at her and said, "You and your twisted logic, be quiet for now, get up and sit properly, let’s calmly discuss what to do next?"

"Alright." Gu Jinli nodded with a smile, helped Qin San Lang up. Neither of them sat down, but stood aside like two children who had done something wrong.

Seeing this, Elder Qin bowed to Third Grandpa, Third Grandma, Gu Dashan, and Mrs. Cui, saying, "Brother Gu, Dashan, I’m terribly sorry, our family has troubled you and caused inconvenience."

Elder Qin felt for Gu Jinli and didn’t want such a young girl to suffer in the Northwest, but he also felt for San Lang. He understood how deeply San Lang loved Little Xiao Yu.

Since the Qin family disaster, San Lang became increasingly calm, seldom genuinely smiling, until Little Xiao Yu helped him step out of the family’s shadow and truly smile again.

San Lang had placed Little Xiao Yu in his heart. Since he called him grandfather, how could he bear to see him unable to fulfill his wishes?

Gu Dashan and Mrs. Cui quickly backed away, not daring to accept Elder Qin’s gesture.

But Third Grandpa accepted it, sighed, and said to Elder Qin, "Brother Qin, take a seat, let’s talk it over after sitting down."

"Alright." Elder Qin responded, sitting down, but only occupied half a chair, fully showing the humility of the groom’s side.

Seeing this, Third Grandpa really couldn’t say anything more, so he said to Third Grandma and Mrs. Cui, "Take Little Xiao Yu and talk to her about the dangers of the Northwest. If after hearing she is still willing, then our two families will discuss it further."
