Chapter 159: Sure enough, they are relatives. Fang Shaobei came to propose marriage
In the living room of the Yu family, an old man in his sixties was sitting there. He saw his granddaughter come in with a handsome young man.
He stared at Yu Banxia's face and stood up.
"Third, third brother!" The old man looked at Yu Banxia's face excitedly, and Yu Banxia's face showed just as expected.
As she recalls, when there was a drought thirty years ago, the whole village fled the famine, but her grandfather's eldest and second brothers chose to go to their wives' parents' home, and they were separated for thirty years.
Later, the whole village settled down again in Yunshan Town, and my grandfather lost contact with my eldest and second brothers.
Yu Banxia actually began to suspect yesterday that Yu Danyan might really be her cousin within the fifth degree of mourning.
Judging from Yu Danyan’s grandfather’s behavior today, I’m afraid that is indeed the case.
"Similar, very similar. Your grandfather's name is Yu Chengen?" Yu Chengde looked at Yu Banxia and asked excitedly.
Yu Banxia nodded: "To answer your question, my grandfather's name is indeed Yu Chengen."
"Do you know who I am?" Yu Chengde was excited.
Yu Banxia smiled, shook her head, and nodded again: "I was not sure at first, but from what Grandpa just said, I am sure."
"Okay, okay, is your grandpa okay?" Yu Chengde asked anxiously.
Yu Banxia shook her head: "Grandpa, my grandfather passed away due to illness at the end of last year."
"Even my third brother... My second brother also passed away due to illness two years ago. Now I am really the only one left alive. After we parted, we can never see each other again."
Yu Chengde's face was full of disbelief, and his cloudy eyes were filled with tears.
Yu Danyan stepped forward quickly: "Grandpa... please accept my condolences."
"Okay, okay, come on, sit down and talk. My child, thank you so much for saving my Yanyan last night. Her parents are gone, leaving behind only this little girl. If something happens to her, I..."
Yu Chengde invited Yu Banxia to sit down, his face full of gratitude.
"Grandpa, cousin Yanyan is also my relative. Maybe it's my grandpa's spirit in heaven. Last night, it seemed like there was a voice in my heart urging me to go over there, otherwise I wouldn't be able to save cousin Yanyan."
Yu Banxia regained her female voice, and Yu Chengde looked at the child in front of him with satisfaction.
She looks so much like my third brother when he was young.
"Child, what's your name? Where are you going?" Yu Chengde then remembered to ask her name.
Yu Banxia stood up and said to Yu Chengde, "Grandfather, my name is Yu Banxia. My father is the second child, and I am the youngest in the family. This time I am going to Suiyu City."
"So she is your Hongwen's daughter." Yu Chengde nodded, and then when he heard where she was going, he stood up immediately.
He quickly tried to stop her, saying, "Small Jade City, no, no, there's a plague going on there, what are you doing there, a little girl?"
"Grandpa, don't worry. I'm a doctor and my fiancé is a soldier guarding the border. It's reasonable for me to go."
Yu Banxia hurried to comfort her, and Yu Chengde looked at her with a complicated expression.
Finally, he persuaded her: "Girl, your fiancé is at the border and you are worried, but it's a plague, and you are still young..."
"Grandpa, I'm not afraid. I studied medicine to save lives. What's more, I have the ability to help my fiancé, and even resolve the situation where Northern Rong and Southern Jin are at war."
“This is a great merit!”
Yu Chengde thought that she was just bragging because she cared too much about her fiancé.
Even if a girl starts studying medicine at the age of three, she can never be better than some old doctors.
Those old doctors did not dare to go there easily. How could a little girl like her cure the plague, let alone resolve the war between the Northern Rong and Southern Jin?
Yu Banxia said no more, but walked up to Yu Chengde and held his wrist.
"Grandpa, you often sweat when you sleep at night, and you often feel pain in the upper left abdomen, right?" As soon as these words came out, Yu Chengde opened his cloudy eyes wide.
Yu Banxia took out a needle bag and inserted needles into his wrist and the back of his hand, allowing the wood element vitality to enter his body.
Yu Chengde soon felt a warm current flowing through his body, and then his whole body felt relaxed. He looked at Yu Banxia.
Liuli smiled and said, "Master Yu, my daughter's medical skills are second to none in the entire Southern Jin."
This time, Yu Chengde didn’t think Liuli was bragging, because he had already felt it personally.
"This is a healing elixir. Take it for three days and the disease will be cured." Yu Banxia placed another porcelain bottle on the table.
Yu Chengde apologized after a long while: "Xia Xia, Grandpa was too much of a dancer just now. Grandpa apologizes to you."
"It's okay, grandpa." Yu Banxia smiled.
Yu Chengde quickly asked the housekeeper to prepare lunch, while asking her if her family was doing well and where they lived now. He wanted to return to his hometown.
Although he is now a well-known rich man in Fenggu County, he and his granddaughter are the only ones left at home.
Many people are eyeing the Yu family, just waiting for this old man to die, so that they can launch an attack and bite off a piece of meat from the Yu family.
Not to mention these people, even the younger generations in my second brother's family are waiting for an opportunity to act.
Since God let him meet his third brother's granddaughter, this child also happened to save Yanyan.
Even if he was considering Yanyan, he should go back and entrust the child to her care.
Although the third brother's wife is a hot-tempered person, she is a kind person. Just from the child Yu Banxia, we can see that she has taught the younger generation very well.
He was willing to give out half of his family fortune and give it to his third brother's wife, only asking her to take good care of Yanyan and not let her suffer in the future and be bullied without anyone to support her.
"My home is in Anping Village under Yunshan Town. If Grandpa is not in a hurry, we can go back together after I come back from Suiyu City."
"Okay, okay." Yu Chengde nodded repeatedly.
Fenggu County is actually not far from Suiyu City, and it only takes three days to get there if you ride at full speed.
If it were a horse-drawn carriage, it would take more than six or seven days.
"Then we'll wait here for you to come back." Just as he finished speaking, the servant outside the door came to report.
"Master, the fifth master of the Fang family is here. He, he said he is here to propose marriage." The servant reported stutteringly.
When Yu Chengde heard this, his face instantly darkened.
Although Fang Shaobei is only twenty-one, he has already lost three wives.
Relying on his third brother who is the county magistrate, he has been bullying others in Fenggu County.
Fortunately, the county magistrate was an honest official. Whenever this happened, he would always scold the man and teach him a lesson in public, but the man just wouldn't change.
Less than a month after his third wife passed away, he set his eyes on his daughter Yanyan. This was the second time he came to propose marriage.
"No!" As soon as Yu Chengde finished speaking, Fang Shaobei walked in on his own.
"Hey, Old Master Yu, please don't be so unkind. This is the second time I've come to formally propose marriage. Even if you don't give me face, you should at least give my third brother some face, right?"
Fang Shaobei walked into the hall with a smile on his face. There were already many residents gathered at the gate to watch the fun.
