New Year's Eve.
No one came to see the doctor in the past two days, and Xing Li was doing nothing at home.
He stood at the door and saw a black ball rolling towards him from a distance.
When I got closer, I saw clearly that it was a person coming, not a ball.
This man's name was Wu Bai. He was in his fifties, less than 1.5 meters tall, and weighed more than 300 kilograms. Therefore, someone gave him the nickname "Wu Dalang".
“Dr.
Xing Lizheng recognized him and knew that he was a well-known local rich man in Gaowu Town. He believed in both black and white and did not dare to offend him. He hurriedly bowed his hands and saluted, and said with a smile: "Which fragrant wind brought Boss Wu here today? Come on!" Please come in quickly."
Wu Dalang walked in with his hands behind his back, head held high, and then said to Xing Lizheng: "Dr. "
"Oh? Want my help? Is anyone feeling unwell and want me to go take a look?" Xing Lizheng thought someone in their family was sick.
"That's not true. To be honest, my old lady died of illness recently. I do have a concubine, but she only eats, drinks, has fun, and plays mahjong all day long. She doesn't care about anything. You think she's so big? How can a house be successful without a mistress? So what? I want to renew my relationship."
"Oh, your boss Wu's family has a big business, it should be like this, boss Wu, who do you like?" Xing Lizheng thought to himself, if you want to renew your relationship, just do it, why are you coming here to tell me this? But he couldn't say that.
"Brother, to be honest, I heard that Zhang Tianhe has a sister named Zhang Tianfeng, who is in her early twenties and has not been married to anyone yet. Therefore, I would like to ask you to help me find a match. What do you think?" Wu Dalang was shameless and said it without any embarrassment.
When Xing Lizheng heard this, his mouth opened wide. He was stunned for a long time and did not say anything. He did not expect that Wu Dalang actually fell in love with Zhang Tianhe's sister, "Boss Wu, this, this matter, I'm afraid it's not very good." It’s easy to handle.”
"What? Do you think I'm ugly, or do you think I'm old? Do you think I'm not worthy of her?" Wu Dalang said disapprovingly, "My image is a little worse, and I'm a little older, but don't forget Yes, I have money."
As Wu Dalang spoke, he took out twenty taels of silver from his pocket, put it on the table, and said, "How about it? As the saying goes, if a family has a daughter, then hundreds of families should ask for it. If their family agrees, it's best. If they don't agree, just throw her away. What's the point? I'm not forcing their family to agree to marry her to me, don't you think?"
Xing Lizheng took a look at the shining twenty taels of silver, which looked really nice. According to the current income of ordinary people, a farmer's income from farming is only three to five taels of silver a year, and helping a landlord drive a cart only earns eighty taels a year. When it comes to ten taels of silver, it means that he can practice medicine and treat patients for only ten to twenty taels of silver a year. So, he thought about it and said, "What you said makes some sense. It's just that your ages are so different. This matter... I’m afraid it’s all in vain.”
"Don't worry about this. As long as you propose this marriage to Zhang Tian and their family, whether it is successful or not, the money will belong to you," Wu Dalang insisted, "I am sincere. What do you think?"
"Okay then, let me give it a try. It would be best if it works. If it doesn't work, you must not blame me."
"How can that be possible? Do you think I, Wu, am that kind of person? Just go and say it tomorrow morning. I'll come over again tomorrow and see if we can finalize this matter during or outside the year." After that, , and he left.
Coincidentally, not long after Wu Dalang left, Zhang Tianhe arrived.
As the Chinese New Year is approaching, Zhang Tianhe comes to see Xing Lizheng, planning to go to town with him to buy some New Year goods.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw the twenty taels of silver on the table and said, "Old Xing, your business is good, you have made so much money!"
Xing Lizheng felt a little uncomfortable when he said that, and then said, "No, this silver was given by Wu Dalang."
"Wu Dalang?" Zhang Tianhe was also stunned when he heard this, "Are you talking about the black-hearted landlord in town, Mr. Cai Wu Dalang?"
"Exactly."
"Why did he give you so much money? Who in his family was seriously ill? Did you cure him?" Zhang Tianhe was a little curious.
"No, he came to me to help him with something."
"Doing something? Just give me so much money to do one thing. This Wu Dalang is famous for being stingy. The fact that he is willing to give you so much money shows that you are not simple. What is it? Can you tell me?"
"It's your family's business."
"Oh? What's going on with our family?" Zhang Tianhe became even more confused after hearing this, "What's going on with our family?"
"That's right, that's right," Xing Lizheng opened his mouth for a long time and couldn't help but say, "Tianhe, we are brothers. I told you not to be angry."
"Who among us is following whom? If you have anything to say, just say it directly." Zhang Tianhe said.
"Then let me tell you what you said. Don't be impatient." Xing Lizheng still felt a little unsure.
"Just tell me why you are hesitating like an old woman."
So Xing Lizheng gave a general explanation of Wu Dalang's purpose.
"Bang!" Before he could finish his words, Zhang Tianhe punched him on the left side of his face, knocking Xing Lizheng into confusion and causing his face to swell immediately.
"Xing Lizheng, you are not a human being. You just said that we are brothers, so my sister is your sister. Why don't you marry your sister to Wu Dalang?" Zhang Tianhe's face was livid with anger, "This You should refuse on the spot. Who is Wu Dalang? What are you discussing with me? Oh, you are coveting these twenty taels of silver. Just say what you say, right? I am really blind. Why? I can make a friend like you who is so unscrupulous."
At this moment, Xing Lizheng was filled with regret. He also hated himself for being unprincipled and confused. He thought that Zhang Tianhe was right, could I marry my sister to that kind of person? While covering his face, he apologized to Zhang Tianhe and said: "Tianhe, I'm not a human being, I'm not a human being, you were right to scold you, and the beating was good. I'm sorry for you. I was wrong. I'll do it later." Send him these twenty taels of silver."
"No need, just keep it to yourself and spend it slowly." After Zhang Tianhe said that, he left without looking back.
