Chapter 169 Chu Hanfeng Offers Herself to Marry Du Wenjun
Chu Hanlan knelt in front of the old man of the Chu family, crying long and short tears: "Father! It's true that Lan'er is a concubine's daughter, but you can't treat her like this, right? Father knows what kind of family the Du family is.
First, I have no foundation, and second, I have no money. If my daughter really passes away in the future, will she have to starve and freeze with him? Father! My daughter doesn't want to. "
The old lady of the Chu family glanced at her son, a gloating smile appearing on the corner of her mouth.
Chu Hanfeng sat aside, silent.
The eldest aunt was afraid that the master of the Chu family would not change his mind, so she knelt down and kowtowed in front of the old lady: "Old lady! Lan'er is still young, there is no need to rush to see others. The family of the Du family is really not worthy of Lan'er, please show mercy."
"Grandma!" Chu Hanlan also crawled over and knelt in front of the old lady. "Grandma has always loved Lan'er, how can you bear to let Lan'er suffer now? Doctor Du is capable, but in the end he is just a doctor. How much can he achieve in the future?
Her younger brother is even worse. I heard that he sells snacks on the street all day long. Lan'er really doesn't want to be a peddler like that."
Chu Hanfeng couldn't bear to hear Chu Hanlan belittling the Du family, so she said slowly, "Mrs. Du is a noble person. She saved two lives in the Chu family and cured my grandmother. How come in Sister Lan's mouth she became..."
Before she finished her words, Chu Hanlan said, "If you think the Du family is good, you can just marry into it. Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. Don't you even understand this?
Doctor Du saved two lives of the Chu family, but he also saved my eldest sister's life. If you want to repay the favor, you should do it as my eldest sister. Why let me, an outsider, go?"
"How dare you!" The old lady's expression changed immediately after hearing Chu Hanlan's words. "Doctor Du has done a great favor to the Chu family. Whoever goes there will be repaying the Chu family. Grandmother would like your eldest sister to go, but she is a little older than the Du family boy. Since you don't want to go, just get out."
After being scolded by the old lady, the aunt and Chu Hanlan didn't dare to say a word. The mother and daughter got up and left in shame.
Uncle Chu had a gloomy face throughout the whole process. For the first time in his life, he made his mother and daughter laugh at him.
The old lady glanced at her calm and composed granddaughter, remained silent for a long time, and then looked at her: "Feng'er! In your opinion, will the Du family ever really become prosperous?"
The Chu family's grandfather immediately raised his head and looked at his daughter. In fact, he found it difficult to understand this gambling game and wanted to hear what his daughter had to say.
"Grandma! In life, many things are hard to see clearly, and most of the time we have to guess based on intuition." Chu Hanfeng's tone was calm and composed, "My granddaughter thinks that a family that can train a miracle doctor will definitely be extraordinary in the future."
This sentence touched the old lady's heart. Indeed, a family with a miraculous doctor will definitely have an extraordinary future. If she makes friends with the Du family at this time, it will be easier to talk in the future.
"A person who can develop such food is not an ordinary person." Thinking of that young man, Chu Hanfeng smiled, "Our restaurant uses his food. The shopkeeper reported that there are a lot more customers.
It’s just that the Du family’s young master is very smart and is unwilling to put all the marinade ingredients in our restaurant, otherwise it would be the only business in the entire Liang County City.”
The eyes of the Chu family's master suddenly lit up, and he instantly felt that this bet still had a chance of winning. He shouldn't be timid and should give it a try.
"Mother! I think Feng'er is right. Let's just do it! Tomorrow I will ask someone to go to the Du family to propose marriage, and Feng'er will be betrothed to the son of the Du family who sells food."
The old lady hesitated for a moment and asked Chu Hanfeng: "Have you thought it through? Don't you blame your grandmother for sending you to the Du family to suffer?"
Chu Hanfeng shook her head: "My granddaughter is not afraid of hardship, but I am afraid that the Du family will despise my granddaughter because of her age."
"That's fine. Dad will prepare a lot of dowry for you. They will definitely agree."
As soon as the old man of the Chu family said this, Chu Hanfeng rejected him: "Father, you can say this in front of the family, but don't say it in front of the Du family. That would be an insult to Doctor Du."
The old lady also glared at her son: "Don't talk nonsense, the Du family is definitely not a greedy family, we just need to make it clear to them, and we will have to wait and hear the news from the Du family if it works."
The Chu family's uncle didn't dare to brag anymore and shrank his neck: "My son always listens to me."
Chu Hanfeng was afraid that her father would not remember, so she specifically instructed: "We must tell the Du family about our daughter's age. We are indeed older than them. We must make it clear, so that they don't accuse us of marriage fraud."
"Got it. You go back first! Dad will consider it."
Chu Hanfeng stood up, bowed to the old lady, took three steps back, turned around and left, returning to her own yard.
At noon the next day, the matchmaker hired by the Chu family arrived at the People's Clinic.
He went to the backyard and boasted about the Du family, which made Du Jiang and Yao Meixian dizzy and doubt their lives.
They themselves didn't think they were that good, so how come the matchmaker made them look like the best in the world? The matchmaker's words are really deceiving.
No matter what comes out of the matchmaker's mouth, a square can be blown into a round one, and a thin thing can be blown into a fat one.
He talked a lot of nonsense and only explained his purpose at the end.
"The eldest daughter of the Chu family has taken a fancy to your young master and asked me to bring them together. What do the master and mistress of the Du family think?"
Yao Meixian and Du Jiang were both wondering, who was attracted to their young master? Who was that? Could it be that he was attracted to their Wanwan?
"Tell me, which one does the eldest daughter of the Chu family like?" Yao Meixian asked.
The matchmaker said openly, "It's the one standing on the street selling food."
Du Jiang heaved a sigh of relief, it was good that it wasn't his Wan Wan, otherwise he would have to find an excuse to shirk it. It turned out that she had taken a fancy to his eldest son Wen Jun, this was easy to deal with, as long as the woman liked him, they would marry him.
A family like theirs has no right to be picky.
"Why does the eldest daughter of the Chu family like my son?"
Yao Meixian asked again, still feeling uneasy in her heart, as if this marriage came too easily. She was afraid that there was something strange and she had to ask clearly.
The matchmaker replied, "Mrs. Du, you don't know that the eldest daughter of the Chu family is eighteen years old this year. She was ill a few years ago and has never been engaged. It was only after Doctor Du cured her illness that she decided to marry into the Du family."
After hearing this, Yao Meixian and Du Jiang both understood that it was their Wanwan who cured the other person and that’s why she wanted to marry their son.
But my son is only sixteen years old this year, two years younger than the girl, and I don’t know if he is willing.
Yao Meixian said to the matchmaker, "I have to ask my son about this. Although it is true that his parents' orders and the matchmaker's words are correct, he is the one getting married, so I have to listen to his own opinion. My son is only sixteen years old."
"The Chu family has also considered it. There's no rush. I'll come back the day after tomorrow to listen." The matchmaker stood up and was about to leave. "The eldest daughter of the Chu family is steady and dignified, but she's two years older. If she's a good match for your son, there's no problem."
