Tao Wanwan, who dominated the world of Chinese and Western medicine, kicked the bucket. When she opened her eyes again, she had become Tao Wanwan of the backward 1980s, a girl bullied since childho...
Gao Yue entered the yard and shouted "Old man" towards the house just like Tao Wenwen had just done.
Chen Wenxuan thought that Tao Wenwen and the others had returned, so he came out tremblingly with his crutches, only to see new faces.
"Who are you looking for?" He also looked at Gao Yue and saw the money in his hand. He immediately understood, "Are you here to buy silver needles too?"
"Yes." Gao Yue said without hiding it, "I just heard outside the house for a while. The old man said he would definitely sell it to me for a hundred yuan. I happen to have a hundred yuan here. Please sell the silver needle to me, old man."
Chen Wenzhang looked at Gao Yue and laughed, "Today is really strange, everyone comes here and wants to buy silver needles.
Old man, this silver needle of mine is not a rare treasure, how can it be worth a hundred dollars?
Young man, I'll tell you the truth. I said that just now to make the girl give up. This silver needle was ground for me by my late wife.
It's the only connection I have to her in this world, and I wouldn't sell it for more money."
"Wenwen really likes your set of silver needles. She is also a girl who loves Chinese medicine. I was seriously injured before, but because of her careful care and reasonable prescriptions, I not only saved my life but also can live like a normal person." Gao Yue said.
The wall of Chen Wenxuan's yard was not high, and Gao Yue could clearly see Tao Wenwen's expression even when standing outside.
The urgency in her eyes as she stared at the silver needle was still deeply imprinted in his mind.
Chen Wenjian understood, "Are you here for the little girl just now?"
Gao Yue nodded without hesitation, "Yes, she is my savior."
"Just a lifesaver?" Chen Wenzhang, though old, had sharp eyes. "Young man, do you like that girl?"
Gao Yue didn't deny it directly but insisted, "She is my savior and I just want to repay her."
Chen Wenjian looked at Gao Yue's obscure expression, as if he was thinking of his own past, because it was so beautiful that his face was filled with infinite tenderness and yearning.
"Back then, I was my wife's savior, and she also said that I was her savior and she wanted to repay me, so she insisted on coming over every day to do my laundry and cooking for me.
Although I seemed reluctant on the surface and drove her away every day, no one knew that I was so happy in my heart that I had sweet dreams every night, in which I even married her.
But I am ugly and I thought I was just wishful thinking, so I ignored her.
When her family found out that she was secretly washing clothes and cooking for me every day, they were so angry that they dragged her back and arranged a marriage for her. I was so anxious that I couldn't stand it anymore and ran to her house and waited for her for half a year.
Every day I would shamelessly seize any opportunity to help her family with any big or small things, such as harvesting wheat, planting rice, and renovating the house. Her family members were not as patient as I was, and finally they were moved by me and were willing to marry her to me.
I was so happy that I couldn't sleep well for several days. We got married, and my wife knew I loved Chinese medicine but didn't have money to buy needles. So she melted down the dowry jewelry her parents gave her and went to learn from the old craftsman every day, rain or shine. After two years of study, she helped me sharpen this set of needles.
This is a gift from my spouse to me, I can’t just give it to someone else to ruin it.
So, young man, you can go too. I won’t sell you.”
Chen Wenxuan waved his hand to let Gao Yue go, and he slowly walked back to the house with his crutches.
"You guessed right, old man. I do like Wenwen." Gao Yue suddenly said.
Chen Wenzhang stopped at the door and turned back to look at Gao Yue with a kind smile. "Young man, you've finally admitted your feelings. Don't ask for trouble like I did back then. If you like someone, you should cherish them."
