How did such immense wealth fall into my family?

Chapter 147 Incredibly Lucky

Guo Youcai quickly shoved his youngest son into Lin's arms. "You scoundrel, he's your own brother."

“I’m still your own son. Are you going to press it or not? If you don’t, we’ll tie your precious little son to your waistband.”

Guo Youcai wanted to beat his eldest son, but the scoundrel had somehow gotten hold of a knife. "We'll pay, but we have to have those nine taels of silver."

"Alright. Come with me to the chieftain and tell him you're doing this voluntarily, and I'll give it to you."

"Fine. Consider it as me raising you for nothing."

"You only supported me for a year. If I didn't want to argue with you, I wouldn't have given you a single ounce."

The clan chief knew about Guo Dazhuang's family situation. He asked Guo Youcai and Lin Xiuer a couple of symbolic questions before signing the document that Guo Dazhuang had prepared in advance. "Now that you're married, don't go out and fool around anymore."

"Okay." He would have starved to death long ago if he hadn't gone out and messed around.

Grandma Dani was tidying up inside when a voice came from outside. "Is anyone home?"

"Yes," Grandma Dani replied as she came out of the house. Seeing Guo Dazhuang, Grandma Dani paused, surprised. "What are you doing at my house?"

Guo Dazhuang is quite famous in this area. "I'm here to be Da Ni's live-in son-in-law."

"What?!" Grandma Dani's eyes widened instantly.

Guo Dazhuang repeated it again.

After confirming she hadn't misheard, Grandma Dani grabbed a broom and started hitting Guo Dazhuang. "Get out! I don't want you to be Dani's live-in son-in-law, you bastard!"

Guo Dazhuang endured several blows before finally saying, "Grandma, given your family's situation, if you didn't find someone like me, wouldn't you be bullied to death? I know you're related to the Qian family. But you can't go to them for every little thing, can you? Once or twice is fine, but if it happens too often, they'll definitely get annoyed."

Grandma Dani was having trouble continuing.

Guo Dazhuang looked at Da Ni's grandmother and said, "You know my family's situation. If you were to find someone else, they might still be thinking about their own family. But I'm different. I definitely won't think about my own family. I'll definitely live a good life with Da Ni."

Grandma Dani was tempted, but then she said, "You're always doing nothing productive."

“If I had to work in the fields with my dad every day, I would have starved to death long ago. My dad only cares about his young wife. He even complains that I drink too much water.”

This is a poor child. But, "What if you take the money and run away?"

"Just give the money to those two scoundrels directly, you don't need to give it to me."

She was truly bewildered by this boy coming to her door to arrange a marriage. The money for a live-in son-in-law, like the betrothal gifts, was given to the other party's parents. "My granddaughter isn't as capable as you."

“You’re related to the Qian family, I’d be stupid to bully Da Ni.”

"...You only want to become my granddaughter's son-in-law because of the Qian family?"

"No. My dad asked around and found out how much money a grown man could get for selling to a brothel."

"..." This child's life is just as miserable as her granddaughter's. "You really want to be my granddaughter's live-in son-in-law?"

Guo Dazhuang nodded. "I've prepared all the documents. Oh, and go tell the Qian family that someone is inquiring about Qian Gousheng."

He genuinely wanted to become Ma Dani's live-in son-in-law, and he also genuinely wanted to climb the social ladder by marrying into the Qian family.

"What are you asking about Gou Sheng?"

"Find out why her tavern hasn't opened yet? Find out if she's been exceptionally smart since childhood?"

Why are they asking about this?

"I don't know. Their accent isn't from around here."

"I'll take you to see Grandma Tian. I'm afraid I won't be able to explain it clearly." Grandma Tian had been so kind to them; she couldn't not tell her.

"Okay. Where's Dani?"

"They went to the mountains to dig for wild vegetables."

"Then let's invite Dani along too, and ask Grandma Tian to take a look and see if Dani and I are a good match?"

"it is good."

There's a reason why Guo Dazhuang can raise people who live up to their name. Grandma Dani was completely unaware that she was going along with Guo Dazhuang's wishes.

Da Ni was digging for wild vegetables on the mountain when she suddenly heard her grandmother calling her.

Dani wiped the sweat from her forehead. "Grandma, I'm here." A moment later, Dani's grandmother brought Guo Dazhuang over. Dani was taken aback. "Grandma, why are you with him?"

Guo Dazhuang is a local celebrity, and Da Ni knows him too.

"He wants to be your live-in son-in-law."

Da Ni's face flushed red instantly. "I don't want him, he is... he is..." Da Ni was too embarrassed to call him a scoundrel in front of Guo Dazhuang.

Guo Dazhuang repeated what he had just said. "You won't find anyone more suitable than me. Aren't you afraid I'll bully you? Let me ask you, have you ever heard of me bullying girls before?"

No, not at all. "You...you're always getting into fights."

"If I don't fight, how will I get food? Look how skinny you are! Look how strong I am! Let me tell you, if you find a coward, your great-grandfather and your second great-grandfather would come to your house for meals every day, believe it or not?"

Da Ni stopped talking.

Guo Dazhuang repeated, "You have to find someone like me."

Dani looked at her grandmother.

Her grandmother thought that after she passed away, Da Ni's two grandfathers would rely on being Da Ni's elders to make Da Ni take care of them, and she felt that Guo Dazhuang was a good person. "Shall we go find your Grandma Tian and talk to her about Gou Sheng?"

"What's wrong with Gou Sheng?"

"Someone inquired about her; she's from out of town."

"Then let's hurry up and go."

"Ah."

Granny Tian also knew Guo Dazhuang.

When the 19th day passed and Guo Dazhuang gave him a rattle drum as a gift.

"How did you all end up together?"

Grandma Dani recounted what had happened. "Dazhuang, tell your Grandma Tian about it in detail."

"Okay." Guo Dazhuang told him everything he knew.

After hearing this, Granny Tian went to find Master Daoyi. In Granny Tian's heart, Master Daoyi was closer than Consort Tao. "Master, what do you think we should do?"

"Don't worry about it. Let Gousheng handle it when he gets back."

"Can Gousheng handle it? Dazhuang said they seem pretty capable."

"Yes." If she couldn't handle that puppy, God would just take care of it for her.

Granny Tian felt relieved seeing how certain Master Daoyi was. "Master, I would like to trouble you with something else."

"what's up?"

Granny Tian recounted Guo Dazhuang's story. "I think that child is alright. Could you take a look at Dani? Dani is such a pitiful child."

"Okay. Let them come over."

"Thank you."

A moment later, Granny Tian arrived with her people.

Master Daoyi touched the prayer beads in his hand when he saw Guo Dazhuang's appearance. Eighteen and that little dog were incredibly lucky to be together.

After Da Ni and the others finished paying their respects to Master Daoyi, Master Daoyi asked Da Ni and Guo Dazhuang about their birth dates and times. After asking, he calculated their birth charts.

After finishing his calculations, Master Daoyi looked at Grandma Da Ni and said, "These two children can get married, and they can make a good life together after they get married."

Grandma Dani was relieved. "Thank you, Master, thank you, Master."

Master Daoyi looked at Guo Dazhuang again. "This humble monk has a word for you."

"Master, please speak."

"Never forget your original aspiration, and you will achieve your goal."

Guo Dazhuang kowtowed to Master Daoyi. "Thank you for the reminder, Master. I will remember it."

After Guo Dazhuang took Da Ni and her grandmother home, he went to find someone to inquire about the meaning of the words that Master Daoyi had given him.
*Facepalm* Thank you so much for correcting my mistake, sweetheart! You worked so hard! Sending you love! (*з)(ε｀*) *kiss*
