Reborn as a devoted sister-in-law, she leads the entire village to prosperity.
Chapter 28 Listen to me completely, and don't try to stop me!
"Then you and the two ladies can come in and wait a moment. I'll go and inform the master right away." The servant led the people to the stool and then called over another servant.
He then ran to inform the wealthy man that he had a guest arriving that day and was waiting in the hall before leaving home.
"Master, someone from Yu Tongsheng's family in Anping Village has come. They say they have something to discuss with you," the servant respectfully reported.
The wealthy man frowned slightly. He had other distinguished guests visiting today, so why were the Yu family members here at this hour?
"Where is he now?" the wealthy man asked his servant.
"They're resting at the gate," the servant replied.
After thinking for a moment, the wealthy man finally spoke up, saying, "Then please let them come in and talk."
"Yes." The servant ran back quickly and said to Yu Banxia and the others, "Our master invites you."
Yu Hongyu and his companion had already taken the wheelchairs down. Before going inside, Yu Mangui said to the servant, "Please keep an eye on the donkey cart at the entrance."
"Don't worry," the servant replied quickly.
The wealthy man sat there and saw three people approaching from afar, pushing something along.
Yu Banxia was also sizing up the wealthy man sitting there, initially thinking he was a fat, greasy middle-aged man.
Unexpectedly, this wealthy man Qian was so young, tall and handsome, a dashing middle-aged man.
"Who are you?" The wealthy man stood up, and Yu Banxia gave him a curtsy, a gesture of respect befitting a junior.
"Yu Banxia is the youngest daughter of Yu Tongsheng."
"I am Yu Mangui, the eldest son of the Yu family."
“Master Qian, I am Yu Tongsheng’s youngest brother, Yu Hongyu.”
Master Qian clasped his hands in greeting and then gestured for him to sit down.
The three members of the Yu family did not stand on ceremony and took their seats one by one. The wealthy man looked at Yu Hongyu and asked, "May I ask what brings my third uncle here today?"
Yu Hongyu quickly replied, "You're too kind, Mr. Qian. My little niece came to see you today because she has something to discuss."
Master Qian looked at Yu Banxia with suspicion. The girl was tall and slender, and her face was obscured by a veil.
He looked at Yu Banxia gently and asked, "May I ask what business Miss Yu has with me?"
“Master Qian, I have come here today to politely decline the marriage proposal on behalf of my elder sister. Please do not be in a hurry and let me finish speaking.”
Seeing the gentle expression on the wealthy man's face begin to fade, Yu Banxia quickly spoke up.
“It was my sins that led my elder sister to agree to the Qian family’s offer to take a concubine, so it is my turn to end this.”
“Master Qian, my elder sister is only sixteen years old this year. Although you look young and handsome, you are forty-nine and almost fifty. My elder sister is still young and cannot waste her whole life in this mansion.”
"Your Qian family has had only one son for nine generations, and you only had your son when you were thirty-one, is that right?" Before coming, Yu Banxia had also asked Yu Hongyu about some things.
Master Qian remained silent for a moment, then finally nodded.
“You actually have a deep affection for Madam Qian. You were a young couple and have been together for many years. Now that Young Master Qian has had an accident and broken his leg, you want to take another concubine to continue the Qian family line.”
“I believe that you and the mistress are a loving and devoted couple, so I don’t want my sister to become a breeding machine and never receive her husband’s love in her life.”
"I think the man my sister will marry in the future will be a good man. I don't ask for wealth or status, I only ask that he is considerate and truly loves my sister."
"I am not very talented, but I know some medical skills. I am willing to treat the mistress and the young master. I have also asked my uncle to make a wheelchair for the young master so that he can get around more easily and not have to stay at home all the time."
As he spoke, Yu Mangui got up and pushed the wheelchair forward.
Curious, the wealthy man got up, went over to take a look, and even pushed it with his hand. It moved very easily, and his eyes lit up slightly.
"Can you really cure my son?" The wealthy man finally spoke, scrutinizing the girl before him.
She was brave and outspoken, and he actually began to admire her.
“Not only that, I also have a good remedy that can help you and your mistress have another child,” Yu Banxia said confidently, her eyes shining brightly.
A female voice rang out: "If you really do it, I will take you as my goddaughter and help you rise to prominence in the future. I won't say you'll be rich and powerful, but you'll certainly be well off."
Yu Banxia looked toward the source of the sound and saw a gentle and beautiful middle-aged woman.
"Is what you said true, Madam?" Yu Banxia looked at her. Getting in touch with the Qian family was her original plan, but taking them in as goddaughters was something she hadn't expected.
Zhang Wanqing nodded and said earnestly, "I am old and do not ask for another child. I only ask that my son can stand up again."
"If you can do it, I'll take you in as my goddaughter."
“I can give it a try. If I really succeed, I have another request: my elder sister will not become a concubine in the Qian family.”
Yu Banxia looked at Zhang Wanqing, who nodded: "That's how it should be."
"Lead the way," Yu Banxia said directly. Qian Caizhu and Zhang Wanqing were both taken aback. Go now?
"Start today?" Zhang Wanqing finally asked.
Yu Banxia nodded: "Since treatment is needed, it should be done as soon as possible. Your young master's leg injury has been going on for almost three months now."
"Yes."
“In that case, please.” Zhang Wanqing gestured for them to proceed.
Yu Mangui quickly pushed the wheelchair and followed behind. Yu Hongyu felt awkward standing there, so he gave the wealthy man a sheepish smile and followed as well.
The wealthy man wanted to go, but he had to stay behind to receive a distinguished guest.
Young Master Qian lived in a courtyard called Ink Bamboo Garden, which was surrounded by many ink bamboos, making it very elegant.
“Miss Yu, let me make this clear from the start: if you cannot cure my son, not only will your elder sister marry into the family, but you will also have to work for my Qian family for three years, serving my son’s daily needs. Are you willing to take that gamble?”
Zhang Wanqing walked into the courtyard, suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at Yu Banxia and spoke.
Upon seeing this, Yu Banxia smiled slightly: "For my sister, I'm willing to take a gamble with the mistress!"
As she spoke, she raised her hand, and Zhang Wanqing was puzzled as to why.
Yu Banxia walked over, took her hand, and gestured for her to do the same.
Zhang Wanqing imitated her, and Yu Banxia touched her palm.
"A high five as proof."
"Xiaxia!" Yu Hongyu and his nephew called out anxiously, and Yu Banxia looked at the two of them.
Smiling, she walked over. Her first-aid kit had come with her and was originally on the cart, but now Yu Mangui had placed it on her wheelchair.
"Don't my uncle and older brother believe me?"
Seeing her smiling face, the uncle and nephew felt a little more at ease and finally nodded: "Of course we believe in Xiaxia."
"That's enough."
“Mistress Qian, I may need my elder brother and uncle’s help. Also, once we’re inside, you must listen to me completely and not obstruct me, or the bet will be void.”
Yu Banxia looked at Zhang Wanqing, who finally nodded; she also wanted to be inside.
He then stepped into the room, which was somewhat dark and filled with the smell of medicine.
Yu Banxia walked into the room, her brows furrowing slightly: "This kind of environment is not suitable for recuperation. Staying in a room like this for a long time without seeing sunlight will make the patient depressed."
