Chapter 181: Fixing The Date (4)
The two families knew each other well, so Mo Beihan agreed to all their requests . In fact, the Gu family did not have to make any requests as he had already arranged everything . When he explained his arrangements, the Gu family could not find fault with anything .
“Yao Yao is still young . Even after we’re engaged, we’ll wait until she’s eighteen to get married . I will obey the Gu family in this . I can wait .
“The ninth day of the month is an auspicious date . Although it’s just an engagement, we must still celebrate in some way . I think the two families should have a meal together! We can invite some close relatives and friends as well . The Gu family will host, and I will make the preparations .
“As for the brigade, throwing a dinner now is impossible, as that would be too conspicuous . But we must do something, because it is a joyous occasion .
“Let’s prepare some sweets for the children . For food, we’ll make some pepper soup, bone broth or fish soup . There’s no need to prepare any main dishes . ”
An engagement was just a formality .
In these times, many people did not even throw a wedding dinner when they got married simply because they did not have the resources . Even if they had sufficient resources, Mo Beihan would not allow the Gu family to host an engagement celebration .
If it were just him, it would not matter . He came from a good background and it was no problem .
But the Gu family was different . They were landlords . If their granddaughter threw a dinner just for an engagement, it would be too blatant .
They would just prepare some food and show some hospitality .
So they decided on the ninth day of the new year!

Once the date was fixed, Mo Beihan became very excited . He ran around all day, either making arrangements for the engagement dinner, or inviting guests .
Although he could not make a big deal out of it, he could still show his abilities .
Others would take note of it, and it would deter them from making trouble for the Gu family .
Mo Beihan was well-connected, but it was customary for the bride’s family to host the engagement while the groom’s family hosted the wedding . The Gu family had to keep a low profile, so they limited the number of guests to two or three tables .
Mo Beihan was busy, and so was Gu Jinlin . His younger cousin was getting engaged . He had to notify his brothers to come home .

As for Gu Qingyao, she just stayed home and studied her nails while thinking of the people who would come for her engagement . It was not possible for the entire family to come . Third Uncle’s family would certainly come . Third Uncle himself might not come, although Third Aunt and her two cousins would probably come .
Just in time to visit them for the new year .
As she thought about it, Gu Qingyao suddenly thought of her younger aunt, Gu Yunshuang .
She had been reborn for almost three months, but had not yet gone to see how her younger aunt was doing .
After her rebirth, she had concentrated her energy on Zhang Xiaohui, focusing on getting rid of her in such a way that she would not make trouble for the Gu family .

This was something she had left unresolved in her previous life . So for a long time, her top priority was getting rid of Zhang Xiaohui . She would slowly take her revenge later on .
As for her younger aunt, the truth was that Gu Qingyao was not sure how she was .
But she knew that Younger Aunt’s marriage was not a success .
At this time in her previous life, she had stayed at home, not daring to leave the house . The family’s attention was focused on her, so she was unaware of her younger aunt’s situation .
But she knew that her younger aunt’s in-laws treated her terribly . In her previous life, her Younger Aunt had tolerated it until the eighties, when she got a divorce .
Gu Qingyao pursed her lips . Now that everything on her side was going smoothly, it was time to visit her younger aunt .
She could also invite her to the engagement dinner .
