Chapter 137 You said you would marry me
"Don't worry, he just fell asleep. He will wake up if you call him twice. You guys talk, I'll go out first." After saying this, Gu Xiaoxi walked out of the room and closed the door behind him.
When I left the room, I saw Chen Qinian and Ma Weiwei sitting on either side, and it was obvious that the two of them were staring at each other.
However, when they were in the carriage, Gu Xiaoxi told Ma Weiwei the rules of the family, and she could not tell others that she was the daughter of County Magistrate Ma, but could only say that she was Chen Qinian's cousin, so as not to cause trouble.
Ma Weiwei also knew that she couldn't easily reveal her identity when she was out, so she agreed very readily.
Seeing them staring at each other, she didn't bother to say anything and called her parents and uncle to the kitchen to talk.
She told her parents and uncle about Ma Weiwei's identity so that they would have an idea of it.
Hearing that this was the county magistrate's daughter, Chai became a little worried: "What if this girl gets hurt at home, won't the county magistrate give us trouble?"
"Don't worry, the Chen family will cover us if anything happens, just treat her as an ordinary girl.
She's here to experience the hardships she's endured." Gu Xiaoxi didn't think it was necessary to give him any face. After all, if Chen Qinian could do something, Ma Weiwei should learn a little bit, and this was just for her own good.
"Now that you say that, we have an idea. Fortunately, the yard here is big and there are many rooms, otherwise there would not be enough to live in." Gu He said.
Gu An said, "Xiaoxi is very foresighted now and does everything well."
After hearing this, Chai laughed happily.
After they finished speaking, they opened the door, called the children over, and introduced Ma Weiwei and her servant to them.
The children were very happy to see two older sisters playing with them.
Ma Weiwei didn't know that Sister Xiaoxi had two children. She only brought gifts for the adults and didn't prepare anything for the children. She gave each child five taels of silver as a gift.
Chai felt that it was too much and didn't dare to accept it.
"Aunt, please accept it. We will have to bother you here for a while. Besides, this is a gift for the child. If you don't accept it, I will feel bad!" Ma Weiwei shook Chai's hand pitifully.
Chai looked at her daughter helplessly, and only when she nodded did she let the children accept the silver.
It was the first time that Dani saw so much silver. She touched it in her hand and gave it to her mother.
The same went for Gu Bingxue and Gu Ruixue. They touched and looked at the things and put them away for their mother to take care of.
Gu Feng didn't even look at it and just stuffed it into his mother's hand.
Gu Xiaoxi touched Gu Feng's head and said, "Go and help your third uncle?"
"Okay, Mom!" Gu Feng went to find his third uncle with a smile.
Inside the house, after Mr. Chen finished talking to Chen Shiliu about some family matters, he asked, "Do you want to go back with us to be raised, or do you want to stay here?"
"Of course I'm staying here. You don't know how delicious Xiaoxi's cooking is. I don't want to leave.
Besides, Lao An is here too. We haven't seen each other for so many years. We can live such a comfortable life here. Unless there are special circumstances, I won't leave, I won't leave!" Chen Shiliu told his second brother with certainty.
"But, as for your injuries, should I find someone to take care of you?" Mr. Chen said worriedly.
"No, it's not a big problem now. Chen San is not here, so just let him take care of it.
Moreover, judging by Xiaoxi's medical skills, I feel that the old men in the Imperial Hospital are probably not as good as her.
You don’t know that day…” Chen Shiliu told his second brother about the thrilling scene that day.
He thought he was going to die on that mountain that day, but he didn't expect that he would not only wake up but also recover so well. Xiaoxi's medical skills were simply amazing.
When Mr. Chen was young, he followed a few brothers into the mountains and fought against blind bears. Did he know how terrible the consequences would be if he was clawed by that creature?
What's more, such a large piece of flesh was bitten off from Sixteenth Brother, it was a miracle that he could survive, not to mention that he could recover like this in such a short time.
"I don't know who this girl's master is. She is so lucky to have such talent at such a young age. She has a bright future!" He said in surprise.
"That's right, he really met a noble person in his lifetime?
No, I should say that Xiaoxi is a benefactor to our Chen family. She may be of great help in the future, so I want to live here and cultivate more feelings with their family.
Please tell my eldest brother that I've been injured recently and need to recuperate for a year or so." Chen Shiliu also took the opportunity to ask for leave from his second brother.
"Okay, I'll take care of this matter for you. Just take good care of yourself here." Mr. Chen simply decided the matter for him directly.
"Thank you, second brother!" Chen Shiliu happily showed off his front teeth.
"By the way, please keep an eye on Ma Weiwei for me. She..." Mr. Chen told his sixteenth brother about Ma Weiwei's situation.
Chen Shiliu took note of this matter. The two brothers talked for a while, and then Mr. Chen opened the door and walked out.
Upon learning that his sixteenth brother was doing well, he came in a hurry, left the gift, and left in a hurry again.
Gu Xiaoxi opened the yard door and found many villagers outside. She didn’t know what they were waiting to see.
Seeing the courtyard door open, a gossipy aunt asked, "Xiaoxi, who are these people?"
"This is the family of my patient. They came to see the patient because he is about to go on a long journey." Chai made up an excuse so that no one would be reminded of how much stuff their family had obtained.
Gu Xiaoxi thought it was a good thing her mother reacted quickly enough, as she hadn't thought of a suitable reason yet.
"Yes, my brother was injured by a blind bear the other day. I was going on a long trip and was worried about him, so I came to check on him before leaving." Mr. Chen had lived in other villages before.
Some women who have nothing to do after eating love to gossip. He was also annoyed by such people, so he simply cooperated with Chai.
"Oh, Sixteen was seriously injured. Is he feeling better now?" the aunt said again.
"Xiaoxi is a good doctor, and he is much better now. However, his injuries are quite serious, and he needs to recuperate for one or two months before he can get out of bed." Mr. Chen answered the aunt's question.
"Master, we still have to hurry!" Old Yu said quickly when he saw so many people gathered here.
"Yes, yes, let's go, let's go!" After saying this, Mr. Chen walked out quickly.
After saying that, Mr. Chen took Lao Yu out.
The carriage came out from the back door and was already waiting there.
Mr. Chen and Lao Yu got on the carriage, and it left.
Chai and Xue stayed at the door and talked to those people, while Gu Xiaoxi turned and went into the house to get busy.
Chen Qinian finally saw his second uncle leave, and was about to go find Sister Xiaoxi happily, but was stopped by Ma Weiwei.
"Chen Qinian, what do you mean? You said you would marry me at that time. How could you treat me like this?" Ma Weiwei pointed at Chen Qinian and cursed him.
