Chapter 455 Burning Incense
Watching the backs of Wang Qichang and his son leaving, Wu Shiren's body softened and he collapsed to the ground.
He never thought that things would turn out this way.
He originally wanted to use his daughter's marriage to get into a wealthy family so that he could expand the restaurant's business.
But now I have nothing. My daughter has become ugly and no one wants her even if I give her away for free. What should I do in the future?
Wu Cuihua hurried forward to help him up, and softly comforted him, "Dad, I'm sorry. I didn't know they would bump into me. I didn't mean to."
Wu Shiren stamped his feet anxiously, "If Wang Tianba doesn't marry you, who will be willing to marry you in the future?"
"If no one marries me, I will never marry and stay with Daddy forever."
"Nonsense, how can a woman not marry?" Wu Shiren looked up at his daughter's bald head, feeling a little guilty.
If she had known that she would get this strange disease, she should have agreed to the Chen family's marriage proposal. But there is no medicine for regret in the world. Now it's too late to say anything.
He sighed softly, "Cuihua, Dad will definitely find a way to cure your illness."
"Dad, please don't bother." Wu Cuihua shook her head and smiled bitterly. "This disease came on suddenly, and many doctors are helpless. It must be incurable. No matter how much money you spend, it won't help."
Wu Shiren frowned. No one would dare to marry his daughter in her current state. She would stay at home all her life and slowly become an old maid. Wouldn't that be a burden?
As the saying goes, 'A girl should not be kept when she grows up, otherwise she will become an enemy', so a daughter must be married off no matter what.
Thinking of this, he looked at Wu Cuihua with a serious face, "My daughter, you are in this state now, and Dad has to think about your future. If it really doesn't work out, Dad will find a matchmaker to go to Wang Laowu's house in the west end of the town to propose marriage. How about marrying you to Wang Laowu?"
Wu Cuihua felt a chill in her heart. She knew that Wang Laoba, the bachelor who made tofu for a living at the west end of the town, was already over forty years old. One of his wives had died, and he looked older than his father due to years of exposure to wind and sun.
"Dad, if you are willing to let your daughter marry an old man, then you can propose to me. I have no objection." As she said this, tears fell from her eyes.
Wu Shiren had no choice but to do this. Cuihua was his only daughter. It would be a lie to say that he didn't feel sorry for her, but what else could he do now?
He showed a helpless look, "Cuihua, it's not that Dad is cruel. If you want to blame someone, blame that heartless Chen Feng. If he hadn't been reluctant to part with that broken secret recipe, things wouldn't have come to this point today."
As soon as the voice fell, Wu Xushi and Wu Duoduo walked in from the inner room.
Wu Xu had already heard their conversation clearly and could not help but say,
"Master, you can't blame Chen Feng for this. If you hadn't made such unreasonable demands, Cuihua wouldn't have worried herself so much and contracted this strange disease. If you really care about Cuihua, just listen to me and go to Ruyi Tower to find Chen Feng and finalize this marriage. Maybe once Cuihua's mood improves, her hair will grow naturally, and we'll have a good son-in-law."
"Dad, I agree with what mom said. Even if we don't want the secret recipe of Malatang, I believe Brother Chen Feng will not ignore me in the future." Xuanyunduo also echoed.
When Wu Shiren heard this, he regretted it so much that he wanted to hit his head. "You guys had a good idea. Now Cuihua has become like this. If that brat Chen Feng doesn't agree, where will I put my old face in the future?"
Mrs. Wu Xu sighed lightly and said earnestly, "You can't say that. How can you know if you don't try it?"
Wu Duoduo also looked serious, "Yes, I believe Brother Chen Feng, he is not that kind of person."
Wu Shiren frowned and shook his head, "If he really agrees, I'd be willing to give him a house even if it costs me two hundred taels of silver."
Wu Duoduo asked again tentatively, "Dad, if Brother Chen Feng doesn't dislike my sister, do you still want the secret recipe of Malatang?"
"What secret recipe do you need? As long as I can marry your sister off, I'll be very lucky." Wu Shiren shook his head with a wry smile.
Wu Cuihua was not sure whether Chen Feng would marry her. After all, she was bald now. If Chen Feng saw her and showed an expression of disgust, she would rather never marry.
"Dad, if Chen Feng also judges people by appearance, then I would rather stay away from the hustle and bustle of the world and forget about the troubles of the world."
"My poor girl! I've ruined you!" Wu Shiren felt dizzy. He calmed himself down and said to Wu Duoduo, "Hurry up and go to Ruyi Tower to invite Chen Feng over. Tell him I have something to say to him."
"Okay, Dad, I'll go right away." Wu Duoduo agreed and hurried out of the house.
At this time, Chen Feng was sitting alone in the hall in a daze. He had heard that Wu Cuihua had a strange disease and her hair was falling out in clumps.
He knew that his sister was an excellent doctor, so he wanted Chen Qingqing to help take a look.
Unexpectedly, his sister not only refused but also refused to let him visit her.
He said that since Wu Cuihua was already engaged to someone else, if he went there he would tarnish her innocence and cause trouble for Cuihua.
Thinking about it carefully, my sister is right.
But Cuihua got a strange disease, and he was worried...
While he was in a daze, he saw Wang Tianba walking in surrounded by a group of his friends.
"Tianba, are you really breaking off the engagement?"
"Brother Liu, don't you see that Brother Tianba is upset about this? You are really bringing up something irrelevant."
"It is said that the young lady of the Wu family has no hair on her head now. She looks like a big boiled egg. How could such a girl catch the eye of Brother Tianba?"
Wang Tianba laughed indifferently, "Don't laugh at me, it's a good thing that ugly bastard didn't marry me, otherwise I would have been disgusted to death. This matter is over, and no one is allowed to mention it in the future. From now on, we are still the fourth young master of Qingshui Town, and we can pick up any beautiful girls we want..."
Chen Feng heard what they said clearly, and his heart was suddenly in a knot.
No, he had to go see Cuihua no matter what. If she got upset and did something stupid, he would regret it to death.
Thinking of this, Chen Feng stood up. Just as he turned to go out, Wu Duoduo ran in breathlessly.
"Chen, Brother Chen Feng, my father wants you to come over..."
Chen Feng was stunned for a moment and asked hurriedly, "Duoduo, why did your father call me over?"
Wu Duoduo patted his chest, and after his breathing became smooth, he hurriedly said, "It's about my sister. However, my sister, my sister is very ugly now. Will you dislike her?"
After hearing what he said, Chen Feng breathed a sigh of relief. "No, your sister is kind. In my heart, no matter what she becomes, she is the most beautiful."
"That's good, come with me quickly, my dad is waiting for you at home!"
"Okay." As soon as he walked out of the restaurant, Chen Feng suddenly remembered something and said to Wu Duoduo, "Duoduo, go back first. I'll be there soon."
"Okay, Brother Chen Feng, hurry up!"
