The Ordinary Man's Guide to Fast Travel

Chapter 197 Exile 24

"Miss Chao has reached the age of marriage. Have you ever considered marriage?"

Lu Fufeng plucked up his courage and finally asked.

Chao Yao turned around and smiled faintly: "Parents' orders and matchmaker's words, this is not something I should consider."

She bowed and left.

Lu Fufeng looked at Lu Qi, somewhat puzzled.

"Are you saying he rejected me?"

Lu Qi was a little disappointed, "Master, Miss Chao is right. It is indeed a bit abrupt to ask her like this."

Lu Fufeng asked in confusion: "Then what should I do?"

"Go talk to Miss Chao's father, or ask a matchmaker to come and talk directly."

"I was too impatient just now."

Lu Fufeng was a little annoyed. Why did he suddenly lose his composure?

Obviously I have always been rational!

After all, Lu Fufeng thought about this matter. The next day, he took his subordinates to the town and the county to purchase various supplies. Because of the heavy snow, they did not come to Chao's house until the third day.

Chao Tiancai was shocked when he saw the entire convoy pulling all kinds of supplies over.

Chao Yao knew that they were about to arrive, so he quickly prepared ginger tea.

"Uncle, it snowed heavily yesterday, so we had to wait until today to come here. These things are all what you need in the past few months. The next time you come here may be in the spring of next year."

The subordinates put the goods into the house one by one. Chaotian looked at these batches of goods and was actually getting very anxious.

"Nephew, you've given our family so many things. How am I supposed to pay you back in the future?"

Lu Fufeng smiled and said, "I have done so much business with my uncle over the years, and we will continue to do it for a long time in the future, so this little bit is nothing. Uncle, you don't need to worry too much about it."

"No, no, no, let's put things in perspective. I'm a grown man and I can't rely entirely on my wife's family. Otherwise, how can I hold my head up high when I ask my wife to go back to her family's house in the future?"

"Uncle, if you really feel bad for me, could you consider introducing me to a marriage partner? I just came of age this year and have never been married. I have traveled a lot over the years, so I don't have anyone who understands me."

When Lu Fufeng said this, his eyes were actually always looking at Chao Yao who was pouring tea for everyone.

As a person who has been working hard since childhood, how could Chao Tiancai not see Lu Fufeng's thoughts?

But his daughter is not someone who can be arranged by anyone, and given the current situation of his family, he is embarrassed to introduce his daughter to him.

"This... your idea really embarrasses me. I'm new to the North and I'm not familiar with this place. I don't know if I can find the right person."

"Uncle, don't be in a hurry. This matter will take its time. The right person is worth waiting for."

Lu Fufeng continued chatting with others as if nothing had happened. When everyone had almost rested, he pulled Chao Tiancai aside.

"Uncle, do you think I can marry Miss Chao? I asked her yesterday, and she would not object as long as you agree. I would like to ask for your opinion on this matter. If it is suitable, I can ask a matchmaker to come forward tomorrow."

Yang Tiaotiao had followed them secretly. After hearing this, she could no longer stand and walked out.

"If Yaoyao marries you, does that mean she won't have to stay here any longer? Does that mean she won't have to live as an exiled prisoner any longer?"

There was an urgency in her words, which is very important for a mother.

Lu Fufeng was a little surprised, but still responded politely.

"Yes, I can take her away."

Yang Tiaotiao immediately grabbed Chao Tiancai's arm and said anxiously, "Husband, let him take Yaoyao away. If your daughter can live a better life, let her leave."

It was freezing cold here and there was no one around. Yang Tiaotiao couldn't calm down when she thought that she would have to stay here for ten years.

If the marriage is not settled now, when other exiles come in a month or two, his daughter may have no choice but to marry these people.

Yang Tiaotiao felt painful when she thought that they would have to stay here after giving birth to the baby.

As a mother, she certainly wants her children to be better and better.

Chao Tiancai naturally understood what his wife meant, but he always had to ask Chao Yao first about this matter.

"Wait for me first. I'll go ask Yaoyao what she thinks."

After leaving Yang Tiaotiao and Lu Fufeng behind, Chaotian finally found Chao Yao.

He took her aside and asked quietly, "Yaoyao, what do you think of Lu Fufeng?"

Chao Yao chuckled, "Dad, what do you want me to think of him?"

"He came to us today to ask for your hand in marriage, but you also know that we must ask you first, Yaoyao, what do you think?"

"Of course, Dad. You know, I can't seem to find a better husband than him. If he asks to marry me, I'd like to wait until next year. This year is a difficult time for our family, and I hope to be with you."

Chao Yao's words moved Chao Tian deeply. His daughter always thought of her family first no matter when or where she was.

"Dad and Mom will definitely find a way to make our lives better. You see, we are lucky to have this yard now. When next spring comes, we will plant some crops, and then we will have enough food and drink. You don't need to worry about us. We are old enough and we can definitely live a good life."

Chao Tiancai patted Chao Yao's shoulder and said, "Yao Yao, I hope you can live a better and better life this year. If you can live well, then we as your parents will feel relieved."

"It's okay, Dad. Go and tell him my conditions. If he agrees, I can marry him next year."

"Once you leave this village, there will be no such store. Yaoyao, have you thought it through?"

"Yes, I have thought it through. If he doesn't agree, then I won't marry him. There are many good men in the world. I don't have to hang myself on this tree. If men are unreliable, then I can still rely on myself."

Chao Yao indeed thought so. She needed to use the power of thunder and lightning in the next few months to increase her cultivation and temper her body and soul.

If she clarified everything right then and there, she would have nothing. After all, she had already left this place, so what chance would she have to do these things?

Compared to the growth of personal strength, love and romance are not important.

If the Fu Feng in this world can't even wait for a year, then she doesn't need to continue with this person.
