If you want a husband, you have to fight for it.

Chapter 24 Why can’t I have a child?

The master was met when Guan Chuncao and Liu Ma were buying candied haws. At that time, Liu Ma was still disliking Guan Chuncao for eating snacks that only children eat at such a grown-up, but Guan Chuncao didn't listen and still bought a string.

When they were paying, the master who wore reading glasses, a mustache and a small round hat suddenly stood beside them, turned the compass in his hand and asked them: Is there anyone in your family who is unwell?

Who likes to hear people say that their family members are unwell, especially when he looks like a charlatan. Liu Ma wanted to drive him away immediately, but Wan Chuncao took the initiative to talk to him and said: Someone is not feeling well and is in a wheelchair.

The master twirled his mustache and said: The person in the wheelchair is a man, with delicate features and fair complexion. He is gentle and refined and loves reading, but his temper is very average.

Guan Chuncao was very excited: Master!

The master also said: You have the "囍" on your body, so you must have just gotten married. The man at home is a little pale, but he also has the "囍" on his face, so you two are a couple.

Liu Ma thought it was a lie and listened to it as a joke, but as she listened more she gradually became suspicious.

Looking at Wan Chuncao who was crackling melon seeds in front of her, she said hopefully, "Maybe people saw the bright red dress you were wearing and guessed that you got married recently."

She doesn't really believe what a stranger she meets on the street says. There are too many charlatans these days, so it's better not to be cheated of your money.

Wan Chuncao cracked a melon seed and threw it into her mouth, then asked Liu Ma, "Then how did he know about your chicken feet?"

"He also said that you had a chicken foot attack but instead of going to the hospital to get treated, you ran up the mountain to burn incense. You didn't light the incense and couldn't walk anymore, so you were carried down the mountain by someone."

Aunt Liu blushed.

She defended herself by saying, "I was praying for my daughter. Miss Yu said that the Buddha on the mountain would bless the child who was taking the exam."

Wan Chuncao didn't bother with her and continued, "What did the master say? Your husband raised chickens at home, and you went back on vacation to feed them. The chickens became erect the next day, and is that true?"

This really happened.

Aunt Liu wanted to explain, but Wan Chuncao told her to stop: "Keep your voice down, Auntie. The master is so accurate in his predictions, maybe he is very skilled in Taoism. If you say more, it will become more accurate. Who knows, what he predicted about you having a bloody disaster in the next two days is true."

This is what Aunt Liu was worried about. Maybe what that charlatan said was right.

Wan Chuncao ate two melon seeds, thought about it, and felt that there might be a problem. She said, "Aunt, what if it is true? If something happens to you, there will be no one to cook for us. How will we eat?"

So the first thing they worried about when she got into trouble was not her safety, but that there was no one at home to cook! Aunt Liu was a little annoyed and was about to curse when she heard Wan Chuncao make a suggestion.

"Aunt, how about I invite that master to come home and have a look tomorrow?"

Guan Chuncao pointed at the slightly old furnishings in the house with her melon-seed finger and said, "Look at this house. It is very nice, but a little gloomy. Didn't you notice it when you came in? It was chilly."

Liu Ma said, "That's because I turned the air conditioner on very low."

Wan Chuncao told her not to lie: "How can the air conditioning be so low that it can still make people feel cold? Look how long I've been here, and I haven't even said a word to my man. My heart has already been chilled to the bone."

Aunt Liu glared at her and said, "What's this about?"

Wan Chuncao pinched the melon seeds with her fingers and said to Xu Muyu, "Look at my man again. He is so cold. He can't say a word. His mouth is as cold as cement. He is as cold as a popsicle in the refrigerator. Maybe it's been cloudy for too long. He is frozen. His brain is full of ice. How can he talk to anyone?"

Didn't Wan Chuncao talk to Xu Muyu when she came yesterday? Aunt Liu felt that she was talking nonsense and said, "Xiao Yu doesn't like to talk anyway. What does this have to do with catching a cold?"

Wan Chuncao pressed down Liu Ma's arm and said, "Then what do you think is the reason why he still can't have a child after all these years?"

"You must have been caught cold or frozen. There's cold in your body, so you can't have a baby. If you keep going like this, not only will he not be able to have a baby, you won't be able to have a baby either!"

Wan Chuncao pushed Liu Ma away and stopped her from arguing with her, saying, "The master said that we have a destiny, so he gave us a few good words and said that he would let us take a good look at the house for free. We have gotten a good deal, so we should stop being so nice and invite people here tomorrow morning."

At this point, Wan Chuncao seemed to really intend to invite someone. Liu Ma was skeptical about the charlatan and felt that there was no need to do so. After living in the house for so many years, what could possibly happen? But she was also worried about the bloody disaster that the charlatan had mentioned.

She had no choice but to look at Xu Muyu to see if he had anything to say.

Xu Muyu was still sitting by the bookshelf, holding the string of crystal clear candied haws, staring at the can of soy milk on his lap, and didn't listen to what they said at all.

He didn't listen, so Aunt Liu thought about it for a while and said, "We only met the master once in the market, and we don't have his contact information, so let's forget it."

Wan Chuncao threw the melon seeds on the table, clapped his hands and said, "I have it!"

She stood up, took out her old cell phone and was about to call the master, saying, "The master said that I looked festive and blessed, so he left me his phone number."

As he was talking, he picked up a plastic bag from the ground. The bag seemed to contain a box.

Wan Chuncao threw the box onto Xu Muyu's lap, and pushed the string of candied haws and yogurt back to the room with the others. When she left, she remembered to say to Aunt Liu, "Aunt, you can go back and rest for a while after you've had enough water. I'll send my man in for a nap, and by the way, I'll call the master to make an appointment, and then I'll come out and cook dinner with you."

Liu Ma watched them go into the room without even having the chance to refuse. When she turned around, she saw several unopened plastic bags on the floor and a pile of melon seed shells on the table. They were all left for her to sort out.

After returning to the room, Wan Chuncao lifted her hair and tied it into a bun. She walked to the window and opened it. She stood by the window and let the wind blow and said, "Open it and take a look."

As soon as the window was opened, the breeze carrying the fragrance of bamboo blew into the room.

It's not cool, and a bit dull.

The sultry wind blew onto Xu Muyu's face, passing over his long eyelashes. He lowered his eyes and looked at the thing on his legs, hesitating whether to open it.

Perhaps knowing his character, Wan Chuncao stood by the window and "threatened" him, "Open it quickly, or I'll come over and strip you of your clothes and hang you out to dry in the window!"

Xu Muyu's face changed. After thinking for a while, he raised his hand and opened it.

A pair of sneakers appeared on his crippled legs.

Before any sound could be heard from the dead silent room, someone outside shouted, "Xiao Yu!"
