Chapter 143 Are You Willing to Marry Him?
In the backyard of the county government office, Xie Yan asked someone to cook a soup to dispel the cold for Old Man Shen to drink.
Then he asked, "Grandfather, you could have just sent someone to tell me something, why did you come to the county government office in person? What if you get sick?"
Old man Shen waved his hand: "Don't worry, I know my own body. As for Mr. Qian's matter, don't delay it any longer. He is not a very important character."
"I know, Grandfather, you should have a good rest. I will take you back later."
"Yeah." Old Man Shen responded, then sighed: "The girl who saved me today didn't even leave her name. I don't know where to find her."
"Girl? What does she look like?"
As Old Man Shen described it, a figure emerged in Xie Yan's mind.
He asked, "Is she alone?"
Old man Shen thought for a moment and said, "There's also a young man following him. They look a bit alike."
Xie Yan said: "Maybe, I know this girl."
Old Man Shen's eyes lit up: "Really? Then take me to find her. I want to thank her very much, but you have to keep this a secret from your grandmother so that she won't worry."
Xie Yan responded: "Let's do it another day. I need to confirm whether it is her. You take a rest first, I will go and deal with the matter."
After saying that, he walked out.
After summoning the parties involved, and another student who received the money, he insisted that Qian Jingyang was just playing with him, not bullying, and that knocking someone into the water was an unintentional mistake.
But Old Man Shen insisted that he had pain in his heart, liver, spleen, stomach, and kidneys, and that he had sequelae.
He also accused Qian Jingyang of being arrogant and rude, refusing to apologize after hitting someone, and treating him like a beggar.
According to the law, there is really no way to punish this severely.
Finally, Qian Jingyang and another student were sentenced to twenty lashes of the cane each on the grounds that they were students fighting in public, behaving disrespectfully, and accidentally injuring an elderly person.
The person Qian Jingyang pushed must be fined 600 taels of silver as compensation to Old Man Shen.
Detained for one month.
…
Li Wanyue didn’t know what happened later. When she saw the old man wake up, she left with Li Sandong.
The old doctor trotted after her and bowed, "Young lady, please stay."
Li Wanyue stopped and looked at him.
The doctor said, "I just want to ask you, young lady, what medical skills did you use to save the person just now? You were able to bring a person who was already dead back to life."
Thinking that it was someone else's secret recipe, he added: "I don't mean anything else, I just want to know what's going on. If the girl doesn't want to tell me, I can understand."
Li Wanyue said: "There is nothing that cannot be said. If possible, I hope everyone can learn this first aid."
She repeated the CPR measures and reminded people to pay attention.
The old doctor was surprised to hear that there was such a way to save lives.
He thanked them repeatedly, and Li Wanyue and Li Sandong left directly.
－－－－
On this day, Li Wanyue and Qin Yuzhen were sitting under a tree weaving colorful ropes.
Xiaolan and Xiaotao were also learning to weave.
Qin Yuzhen shook the fan from time to time.
This fan is really good.
Li Wanyue braided a colorful string, poured a cup of sour plum soup and handed it to her: "Try it, it's freshly brewed this morning, it tastes good after it cools down."
Then he asked Xiaolan and Xiaotao to drink sour plum soup.
Qin Yuzhen picked up the cup and took a sip, then her eyes lit up and she took another sip.
"It tastes good, sweet and sour, and has a special flavor. How is it made?"
"Wash black plums, roselle, red dates, hawthorn, licorice, and tangerine peel, put them in a ceramic pot, add water and boil for half an hour. After boiling, add some dried osmanthus and sugar, and let it cool. Of course, if there is ice, chill it, it will taste better."
After Li Wanyue finished speaking, she took a sip and wondered how ice was made.
It seems that saltpeter is needed. I should think about it carefully at night, otherwise the weather is getting hotter and hotter and I won’t be able to bear it without air conditioning.
"I'll try it when I get back." Qin Yuzhen fanned herself lightly and said, "Sister Yue, you're really smart. You've made a lot more money by selling affordable products, so I ordered more this time. If you don't have enough manpower, I can send a few people over to help. Don't worry, I won't steal your recipes."
Li Wanyue smiled and said, "Don't worry, there are so many people in the village who can help. If it's not enough, I will ask you for help."
Qin Yuzhen said, "Sister Yue, the day after tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, and I should go home. Not long after the Dragon Boat Festival is my grandmother's birthday. I will send you an invitation and you can bring your family to my house for the banquet."
"good."
Qin Yuzhen stared at her for a moment and said, "Sister Yue, what do you think of my brother?"
"fine."
"Then will you marry him?"
Li Wanyue almost choked. Such a good girl wanted to be a matchmaker.
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm a divorced woman."
"What's wrong with being a divorced woman? You are such a good person, smart, beautiful, and good at business. You are a good match for my brother. Do you want to consider it? If you agree, I will go and tell my brother. My brother will definitely be willing to marry you. I think the way he looks at you is different from the way he looks at other women."
"You must have seen it wrong. Your brother is not young anymore, so why hasn't he gotten married yet?"
Qin Yuzhen sighed: "My brother used to think that his health was not good and he didn't know if he could live long. He didn't want to delay others, but I don't think he is that weak."
"Your brother has his own ideas, so don't worry about him."
As the two were talking, they heard the sound of a cow mooing outside the yard, followed by a knock on the gate.
Li Wanyue was a little surprised to see the person coming, it turned out to be Xie Yan.
Why is he here?
Xie Yan greeted Zhao Suying and others in the courtyard, and then said, "I came here today because I want to ask Miss Li something. The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon, so I brought some things with me."
Qingfeng came from behind and put the things in his hand on the wooden table in the yard.
Two boxes of snacks, two jars of wine, one jar of realgar wine and one jar of calamus wine, some dry rice leaves and glutinous rice, red dates, red beans and the like.
Zhao Suying said embarrassedly: "Sir, please stay for lunch."
"Thank you, auntie."
Qin Yuzhen saw that he had something to say to Li Wanyue, so she said, "I'll go see what delicious food Sister Guixiang and Sister Xiuqin have made."
After saying that, he got up and went to the kitchen.
Xie Yan sat down opposite Li Wanyue.
Li Wanyue poured a cup of sour plum soup and handed it to him, asking, "What's the matter?"
"Did you save an old man who fell into the water because of the students at the riverside of Qingshi Town two days ago?"
"Yes."
Li Wanyue didn't know if she had seen it wrong, but she felt that after she finished speaking, Xie Yan looked at her with a brighter look.
Xie Yan smiled, stood up and bowed to her solemnly.
Li Wanyue was stunned, and then she heard him say, "Miss Li, thank you for saving my grandfather."
I see.
"You're welcome. It's just a piece of cake."
Xie Yan sat back in his seat. "I heard my grandfather describe the appearance of the girl who saved him, and the young man who followed him. I guessed that it might be you and Brother Li, so I wanted to confirm it. My grandfather is grateful for the kindness of the benefactor and wants to pay a visit to thank you. Is it convenient?"
"Tell the old man not to worry. This road is not easy to travel. Just let him have a good rest." Li Wanyue declined.
