When she married into the Gu family, she really felt insecure.
In the north, the Gu family, like her family, had to work in the fields. But the Gu family was a well-established one, and people from their hometown sent them so many things.
Although the Gu family had to work in the fields when they were in the north and their living environment was very harsh, they had enough supplies and even had many rare items. Li Qingdan had not been able to tell at first, but later, when she and Gu Jinye grew closer, Gu Jinye gave her things that made her realize that the Gu family had resources.
After they were engaged, Gu Jinye gave her even more things – food, clothes, and articles for daily use. Everything. At that time, it was very difficult to find meat, but after she got together with Gu Jinye, she practically had a never-ending supply.
Gu Jinye often told her that his younger cousin sent them all these things.
At that time, she was very grateful to the Gu family.
With these things, her family’s life improved. Not long after that, Gu Jinye’s family was transferred back to the capital. She finally left that hopeless environment in the north. The Gu family was even willing to bring her younger brother with them.
At that time, raising a child was a very difficult matter. The Li family was greatly indebted to the Gu family.
She did not have any other skills and Gu Jinye was supporting his branch of the family by himself. His burdens were too heavy compared to Second Uncle’s family, which was doing extremely well.
Later on, she worked very hard on her business to try to help him a little. Qinglang also grew increasingly capable, and that allowed her to relax a little.
Now her husband was very good to her, her younger brother was doing well enough, and she had both a son and a daughter. Her life was very good.
Li Qingdan played with the newborn twins as she chatted with Gu Qingyao. “I’m not forcing him or anything like that. I just want him to pay a little more attention to this matter and let him interact more with girls. Surely he can encounter one that he likes.”
Gu Qingyao smiled. “I’ll ask someone to look for Yuan Yuan. She probably knows many classmates. You can ask her to introduce one or two. He might meet someone.”
“That will work. It’s easier for people from the same age group to get along.”
The capital was so large. Although they had lived in the capital for so many years, they did not know all the girls in the upper class. They had heard of some girls from these families but had never met them.
At this age, many of the children were still in university or studying overseas and had not yet come back. It was natural that they did not know them.
Besides, Li Qinglang did not need a girl from the upper class. He just needed a suitable girl.
Zhong Bingyuan graduated from Beijing University. Li Qingdan would be even more pleased if he chose a graduate from Beijing University.
Soon, a heavily pregnant Zhong Bingyuan came in. Li Qingdan and Gu Qingyao gave a simple summary of the situation, and Zhong Bingyuan replied, “I do know some girls, but my friends are all very career-minded. They’re still studying. I doubt they will want to get married soon.”
Zhong Bingyuan was telling the truth. Among her friends, she had gotten married the earliest. The rest were still studying!
It was no easy matter to get into Beijing University, so it was natural for them to be ambitious. Very, very few married right after graduation like Zhong Bingyuan.
Gu Qingyao laughed and said, “They don’t have to get married immediately. They just need to get to know each other and date! It takes a long time to go from dating to marriage! Your aunt just doesn’t want her younger brother to bury himself with work all day. She wants him to get to know some girls.”
