I have been struggling all these years just to reunite with my daughter.
Who would have thought that my body had become so bad that I could even cough up blood.
Dong Xiang thought his father had caught a cold and reminded him, "Dad, you always treat other people's illnesses, why don't you take care of yourself? Although a cold is a minor illness, there is no way to keep coughing like this."
"That's true."
The old man prescribed a cough medicine for himself, "Haven't you heard that a doctor doesn't treat himself?"
"Then let Xiaomo come and show you. She is your apprentice."
Of course the old man didn't dare. If Shen Mo found out about his physical condition, everyone would know about it. He didn't want to burden his daughter, so he had to make more money while he was still able.
Before, if the Ganoderma lucidum that Lu Qingyang gave him could be sold on the black market, he should be able to make some money.
Adding what he had saved before, it should be enough for their mother...
He felt so upset that even his appetite decreased. Xiang naturally noticed the abnormality.
"Dad, are you worried about something? Why are you sighing so much lately?"
The old man said with a determined heart: "Isn't this... because I'm worried about you?"
"I don't have anything to worry about. My life is much better now than before. My father and children are by my side. I am already very content."
"That's right, but Dad is old...I won't be able to take care of you in the future." He hesitated for a long time before saying this.
“Dad, don’t you think I’m a burden?” Dong Xiang felt her eyes sore.
"How could that be? I'm so happy that you can come back. How could it be a burden? It's just that women always have to get married and have a home..."
늵 Xiang frowned: "Why does Dad think so too?"
"No... I mean, look at it, which girl doesn't want to get married? Besides, the matchmaker said that the other party's family conditions are not bad, and there is a capable man. When the time comes, you don't have to do any work in the family, just fetch water and grow vegetables."
Dongxiang put down his chopsticks and said, "Dad, are you trying to kick me out?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? You can stay here as long as you want. How could I kick you out? This is not your home."
"That's it, I don't find this hard at all!"
The old man felt his head hurt even more: "Why don't you go and meet him? If it works, it works. If it doesn't, it doesn't work!"
Dong Xiang bit her lower lip and finally nodded: "I'll listen to you."
Then he put away the dishes and stood up, obviously looking unhappy.
The old man knew that given his physical condition, he would collapse if he said he would.
If he died, what would happen to his daughter in the future? Even if he made her angry, he had to do this.
When Rui Ning heard this, he was unhappy: "Grandpa, you lied to me. You said that we wouldn't tell my mother, but you mentioned this to her. You lied, I hate you!"
"Ruining, you..."
Before he could finish his words, Ruining turned around and hugged his brother to comfort the child, no longer paying attention to his father.
The old man wanted to hug his brother, but she strongly stopped him: "Grandpa is like this too, he doesn't want us."
When the old man heard this, he felt so uncomfortable, as if he was being eaten by insects, but he couldn't say a word.
On the evening of the next day, the matchmaker arrived as expected. "I said, if you have figured it out, it's ok! Let's meet by the river. If you like each other, we can continue. If not, forget it! No matter what, we have to give it a try, don't you think?"
늵 Xiang nodded numbly: "Yeah."
Shen Mo didn't know where she got the news from, and while Dong Xiang was still on the road, she rushed over.
"Sister Xiangxiang...what's going on? I heard that you were going on a blind date?"
늵 Xiang lowered her head in shame. She didn't want her acquaintances to see her going on a blind date.
Matchmaker Niu rolled her eyes and said, "What's wrong with blind dates? Blind dates are not normal. Single men and women have to live together."
Shen Mo turned her head, her expression serious: "It's not the time for a single man and a single woman to be together."
Matchmaker Niu was stunned: "Why should I care about these things? Anyway, we have an appointment. Ah Xiang, let's go."
Dong Xiang nodded and followed behind the matchmaker Niu.
Shen Mo was naturally worried, so she could only follow them. She wanted to see who the blind date was.
When they reached the river, Matchmaker Niu started talking nonsense again.
"There is no mother-in-law in this family. Once you marry into the family, you will be the housekeeper and you don't have to bear the brunt of it."
Along the way, Dongxiang didn't respond much, but just listened silently.
"So, there is no woman in this family. If Sister Xiangxiang gets married, she will have to take care of everything."
"What's the big deal? Don't women do these things? As long as the man is obedient, can work, and take care of the family, it's already pretty good. It just so happens that there is a man like Mr. Tao. As long as everyone meets him, they will be satisfied!"
"You talk so well, why don't you marry him?" Shen Mo muttered.
"What's wrong with you? I'm already so old, how can I marry him? Ah Xiang's age is just right. I like young and beautiful girls. It doesn't matter whether she has given birth to a child or not. It's already very good!"
There must be something fishy going on here, and Shen Mo was determined to find out.
She was so shameless that she insisted on going with 껗 to find out the situation.
늵香 originally didn't have any expectations, so she sat there without saying a word and waited for someone to come.
"Here he comes, here he comes, look how handsome the boy is! You silly girl, why did you follow him here?" Matchmaker Niu felt disgusted.
"My sister is going on a blind date, so I came to see what the other person is like. Is that wrong?"
Matchmaker Niu did not dare to offend her: "As long as you don't make trouble, anything is fine."
"If you want to be nice, why would I mess with you?"
From a distance, he saw a fairly handsome man limping towards him.
She said that the matchmaker's mouth was full of lies and she didn't mention a word about the lame leg.
"What's going on? Why didn't you tell me about your lame leg?"
Matchmaker Niu also felt strange: "It's not him, it's his brother, this is the old man of the Tao family, Tao Jun, why is he here?"
"Didn't we say that the eldest brother of the Tao family would go on a blind date? Now he's his younger brother?"
Matchmaker Niu was the first to greet him: "Mr. Tao, why are you here? Where is your elder brother?"
Tao Jun was satisfied and looked at Shen Mo carefully: "This is my sister-in-law. She is very beautiful, even more beautiful than I imagined!"
Shen Mo rolled her eyes at him unceremoniously: "Don't you have eyes? I just came here to accompany my sister."
Tao Jun's eyes then fell on the girl who was lowering her head behind him.
