These are two different things, but they are the same thing when connected. My father passed away early and my mother had no one to take care of her. Moreover, the disease is like this. If it is not cured, how can I think about getting married? The reason Cheng Fenfang said was quite practical. When she talked about being excited, her eyes were filled with worry, as if she was afraid that people would see through her unhappiness. She immediately lowered her charming eyelashes and turned her pink and white face slightly away. .
According to your logic, if your mother's illness is not cured, you have to stay with her for the rest of your life and not get married! The matchmaker asks tough questions.
My mother worked hard to raise me up, and it is not too much to show her filial piety. Cheng Fenfang raised her voice and spoke.
Fenfang, you'd better find someone with good conditions to agree to it. Being a mother can't drag down your marriage just because you're sick. Hu Lanhua, who was sitting on the ground, raised her head and persuaded her.
The matchmaker was about to take Hu Lanhua's words and persuade her again, but Cheng Fenfang said, "Old man, it goes without saying that you are the matchmaker. I thank you. Now I have a condition. If anyone can cure my mother's disease, I will marry him." who.
All the people who can treat your mother are doctors, or in other words, they are all very old doctors. If an older doctor cured your mother's disease, would you be willing to marry that older doctor? The matchmaker frustrates her will with these words.
I keep my word. No matter who the doctor is, it doesn't matter how old he is. My mother must be able to stand up like a normal person before he can cure my mother's disease. Cheng Fenfang emphasized her meaning again.
good! Can. But I can't guarantee it. Because you have accompanied your mother to look for doctors everywhere, but they can’t be cured. Can you find another doctor? That might miraculously cure your mother's disease. Of course, it's hard to say, but I will try my best. If a miracle does happen then, you can't go back on your word. The matchmaker talks so powerfully, it's like driving a nail into a board and twisting it, fearing that it won't stick.
Once a gentleman has said something, it is hard to follow him. What I said is true. Please find a good doctor to cure my mother's illness. Cheng Fenfang said sanctimoniously, and politely handed over to the matchmaker.
After the matchmaker nodded and left, Hu Lanhua said resentfully to her daughter, Fenfang, don't make things difficult for me, just find a young man you like and marry her, so that your mother won't worry about your life-long events. It's obvious that I have a disease. I've looked for doctors everywhere to cure it, but they can't cure it. I'm afraid even gods can't cure it. Why do you need to give the matchmaker a hard time?
Mom, don't worry about this. I'm doing this for your own good. Cheng Fenfang smiled and said the reason. If a doctor really cured your disease, wouldn't you become a normal person? Why not?
Unexpectedly, a few days later, the matchmaker brought a doctor. He was about forty years old, with a full beard and small eyes that looked very shrewd.
The matchmaker asked him to wait outside the door, but she entered the middle hall of Hu Lanhua's house. She said to Cheng Fenfang, who was waiting beside her paralyzed mother:
I invited a doctor who was from Wujiagou. His surname was Wu and his name was Xifu. Just call him Wu Langzhong! Wu Langzhong's family background is similar to yours. His father is a traditional Chinese medicine doctor who usually uses secret recipes passed down from his ancestors to treat difficult and complicated diseases. Basically, each one is cured well.
However, his father's life was not good. In his early years, he went to the mountains to collect medicines and climbed cliffs and fell to his death in a mountain stream. Last year, his mother also died of illness. Now only Wu Xifu is left, making a living by getting medicines and treating diseases for people. The family is not well off, but it is also rich. He is not poor, but he is still alone and has not married a wife.
I told him about your mother and your situation beforehand, and he assured me that he would try his best to treat your mother's illness and strive to cure your mother's paralysis symptoms until she can stand up. If he can't do this well, he won't negotiate any price, that is, he won't charge a penny for treatment.
If he cures your mother's disease, he won't charge any money, but there is one condition, that is, you must fulfill your promise and marry him Wu Xifu as his wife. Are you willing or not?
Cheng Fenfang looked at her mother who was lying on the ground and nodded to the matchmaker.
Since you promised to fulfill the contract, we will ask Wu Langzhong to come in to check on your mother's condition. The matchmaker walked out the door as she spoke. After exiting the gate, she waved her hand to Wu Xifu, who was standing in the field. He followed the matchmaker into the Hu family's gate. When he looked up, he saw Cheng Fenfang, who was as beautiful as a flower. Cheng Fenfang quietly looked away, embarrassed to look at him.
The matchmaker pointed to Hu Lanhua who was lying on the ground and said to him, "You are here to treat her." Then he pointed at Cheng Fenfang who was standing nearby and said, this is her daughter. If you cure her mother's disease, she will repay you with her life.
Wu Langzhong, you have to find a way to cure my mother's illness. Cheng Fenfang looked at him and said eagerly.
I know. As Wu Xifu spoke, he squatted down and asked Hu Lanhua carefully about the cause of the illness and how long he had been ill. He also said that it was not easy to get treatment here and that he had to go to his home for treatment.
His home is more than 40 miles away from Taohua Village, and it's all on mountain roads. Wu Xifu considered that as a paralyzed patient, not to mention the mountainous road of more than 40 miles, even the flat road of 40 meters is quite difficult to climb step by step. At that moment, Cheng Fenfang said to Hu Lanhua, Mom, as long as your disease can be cured, I will carry you there.
I carry it. The matchmaker felt that her body was still strong, no worse than Cheng Fenfang's, so she squatted down to pick up Hu Lanhua, who was lying on the ground. Hu Lanhua shook her hand, embarrassed to let the matchmaker do it for her. Cheng Fenfang also squatted down and said, Mom, let me carry you.
No! You'd better let me carry your mother, we'll take turns carrying her, and I'll switch to you later. As the matchmaker said that, she put Hu Lanhua on her back and was about to stand up. Wu Xifu came over and pushed her away gently, then squatted down and put Hu Lanhua on his back, and squeezed her almost shrunken legs with his hands. Caught, his condition is clear to his heart.
He carried the mountain road for forty miles, and only took one "yaohuo" rest in the middle. He did not let Cheng Fenfang and the matchmaker exchange him for a ride, so he continued to carry the car until he reached the home where the house was filled with the smell of herbs, so that Hu Lanhua Mother and daughter live in his home.
He decoctioned Hu Lanhua several times to remove dampness and toxins. He also performed massage and activated the meridians. Within two months, Hu Lanhua miraculously stood up.
Wu Xifu thought to himself: Cheng Fenfang should marry me as my wife unconditionally. But he was too embarrassed to say anything, so he went to find the matchmaker to complete the matchmaking.
Of course Cheng Fenfang knew that the matchmaker was here, so he spoke first without the matchmaker saying anything. This life-long event should not be taken lightly. My mother and I had discussed it. If you, Wu Xifu, wanted to get married, you and Wu Xifu would have to rush me from forty miles away. If the Cheng family brings you here in a sedan chair, I will marry you. Otherwise, it would be too much of a bitch to just live in your house casually and be your daughter-in-law.
Just as you said, you two go back and make some preparations. Now decide on a date. On the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month this year, Suji remains unchanged. On that day, I will be the witness to the marriage. Wu Xifu, riding a white horse, will lead the wedding team, beat gongs and drums, and come in a sedan chair. It's okay to take you to Wu's house! The matchmaker made wedding arrangements in front of Hu Lanhua, mother and daughter. They had no objection, so they acquiesced.
But on the wedding day, Hu Lanhua and her daughter were not at home. According to local villagers, they ran away a few days ago. It was because the young and beautiful Cheng Fenfang disliked the old doctor Wu Xifu, so she ran away with her mother and avoided seeing him.
