Chapter 168 Grandmother! No matter how good Doctor Du is, he will never marry and have children in this life
Chu Hanfeng still smiled and looked at the old lady: "Grandma! No matter how good Doctor Du is, he will never be able to marry and have children in this life."
She didn't dare to say it openly, but only mentioned it vaguely. After all, it was Dr. Du's private matter, and she felt sorry for her if she said it openly.
The old lady of the Chu family didn't understand what was going on and was confused: "Does Doctor Du have a hidden illness? Even he can't cure it?"
"Mother! Since ancient times, medicine cannot cure itself." Uncle Chu put down his teacup and sighed heavily, "It seems that we are expecting too much. How could Doctor Du, such a good man, be unable to marry and have children in his life? Feng'er! How did you see that?"
"Yes! Why didn't grandma see it?" The old lady of the Chu family was very interested in this topic. "Did Doctor Du tell you personally?"
Chu Hanfeng slowly shook her head: "Grandma! Father! Can't you see that Doctor Du is a woman?"
"What?" Uncle Chu was startled and almost fell off his chair. He looked at his daughter in astonishment, "What did you say? Doctor Du is a woman?"
The old lady of the Chu family is old after all, and has experienced a lot, so she is very calm.
"What Feng'er said reminds me of many suspicious things. Doctor Du is too slender and does not look like a man. Could she really be a woman? Why does she have to dress like a man?"
Chu Hanfeng tried her best to explain for Du Wanwan: "Why else? Because it is inconvenient for women to practice medicine, so it is more convenient for men. My granddaughter has carefully observed that Doctor Du does not have an Adam's apple at all, just like a woman."
The Chu family's uncle's eyes widened to the limit: "Oh my god! Doctor Du is actually a woman? I didn't even realize it?"
"I didn't see it either. Next time you meet her, you must take a good look." The old lady of the Chu family looked at her granddaughter in surprise and asked in disbelief, "Are you sure? Is she really a woman?"
"Yes!" Chu Hanfeng nodded and replied, "My granddaughter couldn't have been wrong. Doctor Du is indeed a woman, a very remarkable woman."
"Indeed." The old lady did not deny her granddaughter's words, "If Doctor Du is really a woman, then it's amazing. No wonder she is so kind-hearted and dares to perform a caesarean section to save people. It turns out that she is a woman. She saved two lives of our Chu family!"
"If she were a woman, we would have nothing to repay her." The Chu family's grandfather had a sad face, "There is no man of the right age in our family to marry her."
"Dad! Don't mention this matter again." Chu Hanfeng looked at her father and advised him earnestly, "Doctor Du is a legendary woman. Why should we worry about her marriage? Didn't you hear that the son of Pingyang Marquis was treated by her?
If this is true, Doctor Du will at least be a member of the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion in the future. We are just merchants, so we should not say such things. "
The old lady lowered her head and thought for a moment, and felt that her granddaughter was right, so she told her son: "Big brother! Let's just talk about this behind closed doors, and don't let your imagination run wild.
If Doctor Du can really cure the illness of the son of the Marquis of Pingyang, he will definitely serve in the palace in the future. If he cannot be the principal wife, he will at least be a concubine, and a very favored concubine. "
The Chu family's grandfather also thought of this: "Got it, my son will never mention this outside in the future."
"Father is right to think so. The Du family may soar to great heights in the future." Chu Hanfeng lowered her head and blushed, "If you want to marry into the Du family, you might as well consider Doctor Du's brother.
Only by knowing each other from humble beginnings can the Chu family show their sincerity. Waiting for the Du family to become more prosperous before adding icing on the cake would be superfluous. "
The old lady and the old man of the Chu family were both stunned. They looked at each other and then looked at Chu Hanfeng who was sitting in front of them.
They felt that what she said made a lot of sense, but this marriage was somewhat of a gamble. If they were to discuss the marriage with Doctor Du himself, they felt that they would have a great chance of success.
If it were her younger brother, it would be even more unbearable.
Doctor Du's younger brother is still a kid of sixteen or seventeen years old. Although he has created a new food, which sells quite well, it is nothing compared to the wealthy Chu family.
If Doctor Du really entered the Marquis Pingyang's mansion and became a concubine in the future, since they were related to the Du family by marriage, they would be able to share some benefits to a certain extent.
But nothing can be seen at the moment, and getting married is simply a gamble.
But the old lady was a little unhappy to give up a legitimate daughter for the Du family. Chu Hanfeng was extremely intelligent. If she hadn't been delayed by the damn pollen allergy since childhood, she might have been married long ago.
How could she wait until she was 18 to get married? Even so, she was reluctant to marry the eldest daughter of the Chu family to a poor commoner who had fled from famine.
"That's true, but grandma still thinks it's a waste of talent." The old lady didn't want to agree.
The eldest master of the Chu family didn't have so many concerns: "How about marrying Lan'er, who will be 15 next month? What do you think, mother? Lan'er is a concubine's daughter, so it won't be a loss for her to marry the boy of the Du family."
After hearing what her father said, Chu Hanfeng sat silently aside, but she was very anxious in her heart. The last time she went to the Du family, she saw that the Du family was very harmonious and united.
If she married into a family like that, she wouldn't have to worry about her husband having three wives and four concubines in the future, let alone being despised. The Du family's son liked to do business, and she liked it too. The husband and wife followed suit, and the marriage was bound to be perfect.
Besides, she was already eighteen years old, so it was impossible for her to marry well. Young men from good families would have wives and concubines, so who would wait to marry an eighteen-year-old girl?
There were only two best options for her: either to be someone's second wife or to be someone's concubine. Neither of these two options was what she wanted. What she wanted was to be able to love and be in harmony with her husband, to have discussions and to grow old together.
But her grandmother didn't agree, so she could only endure it as if nothing had happened and wait for an opportunity to make her wish come true.
"Lan'er's personality is not good enough." The old lady looked down on her. "She is a person who only cares about her money and not her money. If she is asked to marry into the Du family, I'm afraid she would never agree to it even if she is beaten to death."
The concubine sister Chu Hanlan is the daughter of the eldest aunt, who is fifteen years old this year. The eldest aunt was raised by the eldest maid next to the grandmother. The mother and daughter are in good shape in front of the old lady, and the concubine sister's food, clothing and expenses are no worse than those of the legitimate daughter.
My father was thinking carefully about her and also wanted to please the old lady.
"Just ask! If it doesn't work, we can talk later." The eldest master of the Chu family waved his hand and asked the nanny to invite Chu Hanlan over.
The nanny left, and soon, not only Chu Hanlan came, but also the aunt. The mother and daughter first paid their respects to the old lady, then to the old man of the Chu family, and then greeted Chu Hanfeng and found a place to sit down.
Before they could ask, Mr. Chu stated what he meant.
The eldest aunt was the first to object: "How can that be possible? Master! I only have one daughter, how can I marry into a family that has fled from famine? Not to mention Doctor Du's brother, even if it's Doctor Du himself, I'd have to think about it."
