Maybe I shouldn't die.
Chapter 92 Talk
As the voices of the conversation got closer, the figures of the people coming also appeared in Fang Yue's consciousness. They were a middle-aged matchmaker with a big red flower on her head and bright red lips, followed by a middle-aged man with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks.
Judging from the way he walked, he was limping, and it was obvious that he was the old cripple from the Zhang family who was willing to offer 35 taels of silver to propose marriage to the third sister.
Seeing that there were still people sitting in the room, the matchmaker and old cripple Zhang were obviously stunned. Although they were not from Fengjia Village, they knew the village chief. As for the other person, although they did not know him, the person sitting with the village chief should not be an ordinary person.
The matchmaker showed a look of surprise on her face and looked at the woman from the Feng family.
"You have guests at your house? Why didn't you tell me earlier? If I had known, we would have come another day."
Old Cripple Zhang also showed an unhappy look on his face. In fact, he knew that it was not appropriate for him to marry a teenage girl at his old age.
But isn't it hard for someone to marry his daughter to him? I heard that she is a very hardworking girl. His legs were broken when he was young, and he couldn't do heavy work with a broken leg.
Especially now that he is old and his life has become inconvenient, he has long wanted a wife to take care of him, but no one is interested in him. Even the widow next door beat up the matchmaker who came to propose marriage on his behalf.
Even though the Feng family was greedy and wanted a betrothal gift of 35 taels of silver, he still agreed. Originally, he came to propose marriage because he wanted to settle the matter as soon as possible. The village chief of Fengjia Village must have come for this matter. He didn't want the wife who was about to get him to run away.
But Mrs. Feng Datian couldn't let the matchmaker and old cripple Zhang leave. Thinking of the 35 taels of silver that were about to be in her hands, she quickly spoke up to stop them.
"I thought the village chief is here and can serve as a witness. With the village chief as a witness, we don't have to worry about my family changing their mind in the future."
Although the matchmaker was still a little suspicious, if someone in the village married their daughter to an old cripple, such a thing would affect the reputation of the entire village, not to mention that in Fengjia Village, all the people were from the same clan.
But seeing that the village chief did not refute, she could only suppress her suspicion. Perhaps she was overthinking it. Even if he was the village chief, he could not control other people's daughter's marriage.
But despite this, the two of them did not dare to sit at the same table with the village chief. They only dared to find two chairs to sit on the side. No matter how low the village chief was, he was still an official. Fear of being an official was a habit ingrained in the bones of these ordinary people.
There was silence in the room for a while, and the atmosphere became solemn. The matchmaker and old cripple Zhang were thinking about something and began to feel uneasy. The atmosphere was really too torturous. The matchmaker thought to herself that even if it would offend the two families, she had to say goodbye.
There were footsteps outside the yard. This time the visitor did not knock on the door, but walked straight into the house. The matchmaker and old cripple Zhang both breathed a sigh of relief and looked towards the door expectantly.
The visitor quickly walked to the door. He was a middle-aged man with dark skin and a simple and honest face. The malnourished little girl was with him.
Seeing the matchmaker and old cripple Zhang in the house, the man's eyes showed some displeasure. He glared at the woman in the house. The old woman didn't even respond. How could she keep these two people when the village chief was still there?
Being glared at by Feng Datian, the smile on the woman's face froze, and a little fear flashed in her eyes. Why is the head of the family unhappy again? Isn't she also thinking about their family?
The village chief was too lazy to care about their eye contact. He was still waiting for the matter here to be resolved before Doctor Fang continued to see patients. His father-in-law and his family were probably on their way. When he saw Feng Datian coming back, he said directly:
"This Doctor Fang is Sisi's sect elder, and he is here to visit on Sisi's behalf."
Then he looked at Fang Yue and motioned for her to speak.
Fang Yue also planned to resolve their family's issues as soon as possible, so she said directly:
"Your eldest daughter, Feng Sisi, has entered my sect to practice. I came here this time for her..."
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by the woman, her tone revealing disbelief.
"Our eldest daughter, isn't that the dead girl who ran away a few years ago? Is she still alive?"
These words made everyone in the room frown. Although they knew that this family's character was not good, was it possible for a mother to do such a thing as cursing her daughter to death?
Even Feng Datian's eyes flashed with cruelty when he heard this. This damn woman hadn't been beaten for too long and didn't know her limits. If she hadn't been so cruel to the girl, would she have run away?
Now that he finally got some news about the big girl, this mother actually dared to say such things. He didn't care about how the big girl was doing. He also knew the doctor sitting in the room. It was no exaggeration to say that his medical skills were miraculous.
Since the girl can enter his sect to practice, she will definitely be able to earn a lot of money in the future. How can she not honor him as her father? Thinking of the days in the future when she will count money until her hands are tired, he couldn't help but smile.
But when he thought about what the ignorant old woman said, he was worried that he would offend the doctor in front of him, so he quickly scolded her.
"How do you talk like that? Is this what a mother like you should say?"
Then he looked at Fang Yue with a flattering smile on his face.
"I wonder how my big girl is doing? Why doesn't she come back to visit? This is her home. Her mother and I are very worried about her."
Although the woman was a little dissatisfied with Feng Datian's scolding, she did not dare to refute him. Although she didn't know why the boss suddenly asked about the girl's life, she shut up and listened to the boss's beatings.
How could Fang Yue not see what this man was thinking? This man had greed written all over his face, but considering that she still had to meet Feng Sisi's sister, this was not the right time to get angry, so she ignored the greed and answered:
"Sisi has only been a member of the sect for a short time and cannot leave the sect. She can only ask me to come and visit her family and give you some money."
Hearing that there was silver, Feng Datian and his wife's eyes lit up instantly. Fortunately, the girl, Da Niu, knew to send the money home. They just didn't know how much silver there was. With the doctor's medical skills, their sect should not be short of money, right?
So Feng Datian and his wife looked at each other, and they spoke in unison, their voices full of anticipation.
"I wonder how much money the girl sent us?"
