Lin Daiyu's Rebirth

Chapter 464 Marriage Proposal 1

"Her aunt, I haven't seen you for a few days. What happened to the old man?"

As soon as the fat wife entered the room, she saw Old Man Wang lying sick on the bed. Her heart tightened and the words that were about to come out of her mouth were blocked by something and she swallowed them back.

But in the current situation, the fat lady can only take care of Old Man Wang's condition first.

Aunt Wang tucked in the corner of the old man's quilt and asked Lianhua to make the charcoal fire in the house burn more vigorously.

This charcoal fire was bought by Tiechui, and it makes the house warm.

Aunt Wang looked at the fat sister-in-law, thinking that she was not an outsider, so she sighed and said:

"Oh, it was all because of the heavy snow those days that the old man accidentally fell down.

I thought it was nothing serious, but who knew that the disease would drag on and on without getting better!

Thanks to Tiechui, Lianhua hired a doctor to treat the old man.

After hearing this, the fat lady noticed that Old Man Wang's face was extremely pale and bloodless, and he looked very weak.

Looking at his calves, they were wrapped in thick gauze, hanging loosely outside the quilt.

The fat lady was puzzled. It was just a leg injury, so how could he be so seriously ill that he had to be bedridden?

She looked at Lianhua carefully again and found that the child seemed to be more well-behaved and sensible, making people like her more and more.

Sometimes she was busy boiling medicine in the kitchen, and sometimes she was gently wiping Old Man Wang's face with a handkerchief. Even his own daughter was like this!

The fat lady seemed to remember something, and she pulled Aunt Wang to her side. Then, she leaned close to her ear mysteriously and said in a low voice:

"Her aunt, there are some things I don't know whether I should say or not.

You say, could it be because it’s the end of the year and some unclean things are causing trouble?

Maybe the old man accidentally bumped into something and that’s why he became seriously ill!"

After hearing what Fatty's wife said, Aunt Wang suddenly understood as if she had been enlightened.

These past few days, she was puzzled and wondered to herself - he just fell and broke his leg, how could he be so seriously ill and even bedridden?

Suddenly, she slapped her thigh and screamed:

"Oh my, that's right!

Look at my memory! A few days ago, I showed the gold locket you gave me to the old man, and he was so happy!

After cleaning the house and running around, I accidentally hurt the yellow fox!

I didn't take it too seriously at the time, but now I think it must have been that yellow-skinned guy who was causing trouble!"

Seeing Lianhua walking away, the fat lady quickly walked to Old Man Wang's bed, leaned over, and asked him softly:

"Uncle Wang, how do you feel now?"

Old man Wang was lying on the hospital bed, his face pale and his breath weak.

He opened his eyes slightly, looked at the fat lady, forced a smile, and said:

"I'm... fine..."

The fat lady waved her hands quickly and said:

"Uncle Wang, don't worry, although my family is not rich, we still have some money.

I will definitely ask Tiechui to find the best doctor to cure your illness!"

Old man Wang was naturally very upset. The New Year was approaching. He had been thinking that this year would be a good harvest, so he could buy more New Year's goods and have a good year!

Who would have thought this would happen again!

Old Man Wang was silent for a while, then he slowly said with tears in his eyes:

"Okay... As long as... As long as Lotus lives a good life in the future, even if I die now... I will die with a smile on my face!"

When the fat lady heard what Old Man Wang said so sincerely, she couldn't help but be moved.

She then quickly told Old Man Wang, "Uncle Wang, don't worry! Tiechui will definitely treat Lianhua well. Besides, we have been neighbors for many years!"

After hearing what the fat lady said, Old Man Wang showed a relieved smile on his face.

Seeing that Old Man Wang was in a better mood, Fatty took the opportunity to say:

"Let me tell you, I heard that the Pagoda Temple outside the city is very effective!

Tomorrow morning, I'll have Tiechui escort Aunt Wang and Lianhua up the mountain to pray for blessings. Maybe your illness will be cured!"

Old Man Wang hesitated for a moment, then struggled to raise his head:

"Is this... too much trouble?"

The fat lady said quickly:

"No trouble, no trouble! What's the trouble?

Besides, I will take care of you at home and help you take your medicine. They will be back in just half a day!"

Aunt Wang was listening and thought it was a good idea.

Perhaps, praying at the temple could really help Old Man Wang recover. Furthermore, with Tiechui escorting them, they would be safer.

Aunt Wang also nodded obediently, feeling extremely warm in her heart.

She felt that her life seemed to have become complete all of a sudden. Even if she encountered great difficulties in the future, as long as they took care of each other, it would not be difficult.

She was about to thank the fat lady, but at this moment, her eyes were attracted by the direction of the fat lady's finger.

I saw the fat lady pointing at the pillowcase embroidered with lotus flowers, with a bright smile on her face.

"Her aunt, I asked someone to take a look at her privately." There was a hint of excitement in the fat lady's voice:

"After the Chinese New Year, the eighth day of the second lunar month is an auspicious day!"

The fat lady paused and continued:

"Why don't we settle their marriage before the New Year and let them get married after the New Year!

Also, regarding the betrothal gifts, don't worry, I will definitely not treat your Lotus unfairly!"

After hearing this, Aunt Wang felt secretly delighted.

However, just when she was secretly happy, a thought suddenly flashed through her mind, making her face instantly become embarrassed.

Yes, they have already given the betrothal gift, so I have to prepare a decent dowry for Lianhua, right?

You can't just marry Lotus off casually like you would a maid!

Aunt Wang sighed helplessly and said helplessly:

"Fatty, what you said is indeed true, but this dowry...

All our family could give was a few quilt covers and some clothes.

If I could wait a little longer, until my husband's health improves and he earns more money, I would naturally give more to Lotus."

To everyone's surprise, the fat lady suddenly waved her hand and burst into a giggle. She said:

"Oh my, what am I doing?

If you have some, give some as a gift; if not, forget it!

After all, you sent a beautiful young girl to our home, so what else can I complain about?"

As soon as the voice fell, the fat sister seemed to be unsatisfied, and then she laughed again and continued:

"Take my daughter Honghua for example. When she got married, I only gave her a few quilt covers and a few sets of clothes as a gift.

Look at us now, how good life is!

Besides, Honghua is several years younger than Tiechui, but she already has two children!"

After hearing this, Aunt Wang nodded in agreement. She had no choice but to tell Fatty that she had asked Lianhua tonight and would give her an answer tomorrow afternoon.

As soon as the fat lady left, while Old Man Wang was dazed, Aunt Wang pulled Lianhua over and asked her softly:

"My child, tell me the truth, are you really willing to marry Tiechui?

It’s not too late to regret now! "
