Chapter 1373: A Special Matchmaking Session (2)
Mo Beihan would not agree to her exhausting herself like that either.
Giving birth to twins wore her out. For so many years, Gu Qingyao had always been very energetic. Mo Beihan took good care of his wife, so she looked very young. But with this childbirth, he personally saw how frail she looked.
He still remembered what she was like during her confinement after giving birth to Mo Yang. At that time, Gu Qingyao clearly recuperated much faster and had been more energetic.
This time, the situation was clearly different.
So Mo Beihan could see Gu Qingyao’s fatigue and took special care of her.
Women age more easily after they turn 30. If they are not properly cared for, they will age, and then it would be hard to return to their previous state.
So Mo Beihan definitely would not permit her to tire herself out during this period.
She looked at the crowd in the living room downstairs. The girls she knew in the past had grown up. She could see Mo Yang playing happily with Chu Yue in a corner. He had cut a slice of cake for her and was keeping her happy.
In the past, the little girl Chu Yue would be frightened in such a situation. But now she was at ease. She had grown bolder.
Gu Qingyao smiled!
…
Very soon, Li Qingdan finished entertaining the people downstairs and ran upstairs to look for Gu Qingyao. When Gu Qingyao saw her, she smiled and asked her to sit. “Cousin-in-law, my mother just told me that you’re urgently trying to marry off Li Qinglang? The boy is so mature; I’m sure he has some ideas of his own about such things!”
Li Qingdan laughed, “He’s too mature. That’s why I worry about him. He only thinks about work all day. He doesn’t take his own affairs seriously.”
Gu Qingyao understood what she was trying to say.
For many years, the Gu family had taken care of the Li family. Otherwise, they might not even have been able to survive the harsh conditions of the north.
That year, Gu Qingyao had sent large quantities of food to Eldest Cousin and his family, as well as clothes and other supplies. Once she knew that Eldest Cousin had a girlfriend, she also sent a share to the Li family. Later, Li Qinglang followed his sister to live with the Gu family....
His life with the Gu family in the capital was much more comfortable than his life in the north with the Li family. He had enough food and a warm place to stay. He was even allowed to go to school. Li Qinglang had never forgotten how well they had treated him.
So even when he was just 10 years old, he had been very mature and always helped his older sister.
Now that he was older and more capable, he continued to help his brother-in-law.
He was repaying his debt.
Gu Qingyao smiled, “That’s easy. I feel that our family’s children are all very fortunate. There is not much discord in the family, and we’re considered to be very harmonious. Qinglang does not have any emotional baggage and probably isn’t averse to marriage. He just hasn’t found the right one yet!”
Li Qingdan said, “I know. I’ve spoken to him, and that’s what he says too – he just hasn’t found someone he fancies. But… if he hasn’t found anyone he fancies at his age, then when will he meet her? He doesn’t have any experience at all. Even if he meets a girl he likes, he may not be able to successfully court her! That will cause further delay, and he will be even older.”
Gu Qingyao laughed. “Cousin-in-law, I also hope he will meet someone he likes soon and get married and have children. But boys don’t really have to worry about age. Qinglang is not considered old. Men are different from women. If a man is outstanding, it doesn’t matter if he’s a little older.”
Li Qingdan was naturally pleased to hear even Gu Qingyao say that Li Qinglang was outstanding.
