"Taohua, have you got engaged?"
Lu Zhaozhao was lying in bed with Gu Taohua, the two were chatting closely about gossip, and Lu Zhaozhao asked Gu Taohua if she had gotten engaged.
Gu Taohua said, "No."
Lu Zhaozhao was quite surprised.
Lu Zhaozhao said, "Isn't it said that girls in the countryside get engaged very early?"
Lu Zhaozhao was not wrong.
In the countryside, girls are usually pursued by matchmakers once they turn twelve, typically getting engaged by thirteen, and married by fourteen or fifteen.
In Qinghe Bay, the ones over thirteen not engaged were Gu Taohua and Gu Xiaocao.
Gu Taohua didn't have matchmakers coming because she was plump with a bad personality and had a bad reputation due to Tong Dajiao.
Gu Xiaocao had her reputation ruined by Xu Si, also causing matchmakers to stay away.
Gu Taohua said, "I'm not engaged because others don't fancy me, and I don't fancy others."
Gu Taohua's tone was extremely natural.
