Chapter 175: Chapter 174 Every Family Has Its ProblemsOld Mistress Huang stood up, not in a good mood, and said, "When have I ever needed to notify you before making vows to the heavens?" Matchmaker Zhang was choked by the rebuff and, realizing Old Mistress Huang’s prickly demeanor, knew she was unhappy. Still, she approached with a smile, "Madame Gu, who has upset you so? Why are you in such a bad temper?" "Hmph..." Old Mistress Huang snorted coldly at Matchmaker Zhang, dusted off her knees, and went into the backyard. Soon after, her muttering and cursing could be heard coming from there. "Who have I offended, that everyone should give me such aggravation? Was it easy for me to birth this bunch of you, only to suffer such humiliation in my old age!" Huang Xiangwen stuck her head out of the window, then swiftly pulled back and said, "What’s Mother so mad about? We wouldn’t dare give her trouble." Gu Feng gestured towards the master house and whispered, "Who else could it be? The debt collector came today!" All these words fell clearly upon Gu Youyou’s ears. She was speechless. Wasn’t she also a victim? If there was someone to scold, it should be that person standing at the gate pretending to be a door god! Outside the door, Matchmaker Zhang called out in her thin voice, "Patriarch Gu, are you feeling any better? Could you come out for a moment?" "Ah! Please go to the main hall and wait for a bit!" Gu Feng naturally meant to get up. Gu Youyou frowned and said, "Grandfather, you should rest if you’re not feeling well; let my uncle and aunt handle it." "No, I must get up!" Gu Feng was obstinate as he rose from his bed, with Jin Zijin coming over to support him. He said, "Youyou, as head of this family, I must take care of your brother and sister’s affairs. Your second and third uncles have already accused me of favoritism. Dabao is our eldest grandson, and if I don’t preside over his matrimonial matters, they will grumble again." It’s said that every family has its own difficult scripture to chant, and the more people there are, the more issues arise. This saying couldn’t be more true. Gu Youyou had no choice but to flank Gu Feng on either side with Jin Zijin and help him to the main hall. Matchmaker Zhang was already waiting there. Hearing that she had arrived, the second uncle and aunt also came out of their room and were waiting for Gu Feng in the main hall ahead of time. Old Mistress Huang, filled with anger, did not show up. Gu Dabao, Gu Hong, stood bashfully behind his second uncle like a shy maiden. Upon seeing Gu Youyou, Matchmaker Zhang exclaimed in shock, "Oh my! I heard your Youyou was found, after a few days on the mountain, you must’ve suffered a lot, eh?" On Jin Zijin’s side, he quickly took over the conversation, "During those days on the mountain, I was taking care of her all along. How much hardship could she have faced?" Gu Youyou hadn’t realized the implication behind Matchmaker Zhang’s words until she heard Jin Zijin’s response, and then she was shocked to catch the undercurrent in Zhang’s words. She had been taken by a savage, and anyone uninformed might think she’d been violated. For ancient women, reputation was more important than life. If such rumors were confirmed, it would be a catastrophe. Sёarch* The nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Gu Feng, of course, also picked up on the subtext in Matchmaker Zhang’s words and said displeased, "Matchmaker Zhang, what are you implying with your words today? If you’re here to discuss Dabao’s marriage, then please stick to the matter at hand. If you’re here to check on Youyou, you’ve seen that she is perfectly fine. But if you’re here to talk about Dabao’s marriage with the Lei Family girl, then I would thank you to focus on the matter at hand and not stray into other topics." "Patriarch Gu, look at what you’re saying!" Matchmaker Zhang laughed and, fidgeting with her red flowered handkerchief, said, "Naturally, I came to inquire about the marriage between Gu Dabao and the Lei Family girl. Now that your Youyou has also returned, wouldn’t it be appropriate to pick a date to visit the Lei
