The girl knocking on the door was Chen Rou, the daughter of Chen Lizheng of Qingyu Village, the most outstanding beauty in the nearby villages. She walked into the yard, and the tassels of her lotus pink phoenix-tail skirt swayed as she walked, making her look more beautiful with every step.
"Are you okay?" Chen Rou walked beside Yu Qizhe, smiled and asked softly.
Yu Qizhe replied briefly, "It's OK."
Chen Rou nodded, as if she was always concerned about Yu Qizhe's health, and said softly, "That's good."
Yu Qizhe accompanied Chen Rou into the main hall and said to Yu Ruhai, who was sitting on a chair reading a medical book, "Grandfather, someone is here to see a doctor."
Yu Ruhai looked up and saw that it was the girl from the Chen family. A hint of surprise flashed across his face. Ever since he personally went to the Chen family to ask for Chen Rou on behalf of Yu Qizhe and was rejected by the Chen family, the two families have rarely had any contact. He did not expect that Chen Rou, who had a deep connection with the Yu family, would come to him in person.
Yu Ruhai came back to his senses, put down the medical book in his hand, and greeted politely, "It turns out to be the youngest daughter of the Chen family. Come and sit down. What's wrong with your body?"
"Grandpa Yu is still in good health. You see, he's getting more and more energetic as he gets older." Chen Rou has always been very sweet-mouthed and good at pleasing old people. With just two words, she made Yu Ruhai very happy.
"You are still as lovable as you were when you were a child." Yu Ruhai said with a smile.
Chen Rou covered her mouth and chuckled, "Grandpa Yu, my grandma's cough has come back, I came here to get her some medicine."
While the two were talking, Yu Qizhe left the main room. Chen Rou turned around and glanced at his leaving back, a hint of melancholy flashing in her almond eyes.
The fire in the kitchen had gone out. Yu Fuling carried the dishes into the living room. She was very surprised to see Chen Rou, "Arou, why are you here?"
Yu Fuling and Chen Rou were childhood playmates. Yu Fuling had previously tried her best to bring her together with Yu Qizhe. If Yu Qizhe had not completely deteriorated after passing the imperial examination, this marriage would have been successful.
Chen Rou's eyebrows curved slightly, and a gentle smile appeared on her oval face, "I'll get some cough medicine for grandma."
Yu Fuling placed the dishes on the table, walked up to Chen Rou, and asked with concern, "Is your grandma's cough still not healed?"
"It's still the same. Maybe it's because I'm getting old. I keep coughing and it doesn't get better even after taking many medicines." Chen Rou frowned slightly, and worry flashed across Furong's face.
Yu Ruhai's heart was slightly moved. The Taoist priest had said before that he wanted to find a girl for Fifth Brother to bring good luck. Perhaps this sign of frailty and early death could be suppressed. After Fifth Brother won the top three places in the imperial examinations, Chen Rou became very close to him, and the Chen family also repeatedly expressed their desire to marry him.
But ever since the fifth brother's health declined, the Chen family's attitude has become cold. Three years ago, Chen Rou's elder brother Chen Gensheng passed the imperial examination and became a scholar. After the Taoist priest said he wanted to bring good luck, he went to the Chen family to discuss marriage with a shameless face. However, he was rejected by the old man in the Chen family, and his words showed that he looked down on their Yu family.
Now if we can completely cure the old lady's cough, wouldn't it make the Chen family look at us with new eyes?
After thinking for a while, he said to Yu Fuling, "Call Meng girl over."
Yu Fuling wanted to exchange a few more words with Chen Rou, but after hearing what Grandpa Yu said, she walked out reluctantly and said to Yu Jiao who was washing her hands in a bad tone, "Meng Yujiao, Grandpa wants you to come over."
Yu Jiao wiped her hands slowly with a towel. Yu Fuling suddenly thought and asked, "Do you know who the woman in the room is?"
Yu Jiao shook her head. She thought that Mr. Yu must have called her over to see a patient, and she didn't make any other guesses.
"She is the daughter of Chen Lizheng. She is the most beautiful girl in the surrounding villages. Her brother Chen Gensheng passed the imperial examination two years ago. She is exactly the girl I like! If it weren't for my poor health, she would have married me long ago, and it wouldn't be your turn!" Yu Fuling said this deliberately to make Yu Jiao feel ashamed.
