Being rejected by a scholar? She is so rich, what is she afraid of?

Chapter 244 Got it right

Old Man Yun pinched his beard and went to the village clinic. He watched Gong Taozhi busying around his eldest son's bedside, smiling so hard that his teeth were showing.

"Grandpa, come and see Brother Yun." Gong Taozhi greeted warmly.

Old Master Yun subconsciously wanted to deny it and almost blurted out: No, I came to see you.

When the words reached his lips, he realized something and quickly responded, "Yes, yes, I'll come and see him."

Gong Taozhi had just fetched some water for Yun Huaishan to wipe his face. The weather was too hot, and if you stayed in the house for a short while, you would start to sweat.

From time to time, Gong Taozhi would fetch a basin of water for Yun Huaishan to wash his face and wipe the sweat off his body.

When he was first injured, Yun Zheng and Yun Fang were still here to help. But they were both quite busy, and Yun Huaiyuan had a servant, so the siblings asked the servant to take care of him during the day, and they took turns to come and keep watch at night.

But sometimes the servant couldn't take care of everything by himself, so the Gong family would lend a hand.

In their view, this is their job.

However, during this period, Dr. Gong and his son had been studying surgical operations. Since there were very few patients in the village and no subjects for their experiments, the two simply went to the city to set up a stall and provide consultations every day.

They just wanted to find patients on whom they could practice suturing.

The father and son were often not at home, so most of the help in taking care of Yun Huaishan fell on Gong Taozhi and her mother.

Her mother, Gong Lin, was busy with housework every day, so in the end it was Gong Taozhi who took care of Yun Huaishan the most.

Yun Xi guessed correctly. There were indeed some signs of development between the two during their time together.

One divorced his wife, and the other was divorced by her in-laws. Both were single, and it was inevitable that they would have some thoughts after being together for a long time.

But Yun Huaishan was more than ten years older than her, and he felt that she would look down on him as a farmer. Even though he had some feelings for her, he didn't dare to think about it seriously.

Gong Taozhi took back the handkerchief and threw it into the basin, then went to pour two cups of tea, one for Mr. Yun and one for Yun Huaishan before she carried the basin out.

As soon as the others left, Mr. Yun put down the teacup in his hand and closed the door. He walked to the bedside like a thief and asked in a low voice,

"Boss, tell me honestly, are you attracted to this Madam Gong?"

"puff--"

Old Master Yun closed his eyes tightly and his beard was all wet.

Yun Huaishan's eyes widened at first, then his face turned red. Finally, he realized that he had sprayed his father in the face.

He quickly used his sleeve to wipe the old man's face.

"Dad, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."

Old Master Yun stood up straight and snorted, "Okay, I'll do it myself."

As he spoke, he began to wipe the tea off his face by pulling up his sleeves.

He said in a bad tone, "You are so rebellious. How dare you spray me in your father's face."

"I'm sorry, Dad. I'm an unfilial son." Yun Huaishan felt very guilty.

Old Master Yun glanced at him and said, "Okay, as long as you answer my questions honestly, I won't bother with you."

Yun Huaishan's face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he spoke incoherently.

"Dad, no, no, don't talk nonsense. Madam Gong is a good, good person. She is beautiful and kind, and she is not too old. She can find a good family."

Old Master Yun was worried about him as he listened to his stuttering words. He held his breath until he finished speaking before catching his breath.

Looking at his expression, it's obvious that he really likes her.

"Well, you're already old and still don't act so awkward. If you really like her, I'll find a matchmaker to come and propose marriage."

Yun Huaishan was a little overwhelmed, "Isn't this bad, Dad?"

Seeing his useless look, Old Master Yun glared at him unhappily and said, "This is a happy event, why is it not good?"

"But, what if others look down on me?" Yun Huaishan blushed and scratched his head.

"What does it matter if you don't care? We can just get along the same way as before."

"This, this, this..." Yun Huaishan didn't know what to say.

Seeing his apprehensive look, the old man consoled him, "Although you are much older than others, you are not completely useless. At least you are honest and simple, and you live a down-to-earth life. Besides, with Xi girl as your relationship, I don't know how rich your family will be in the future, but if I really marry you, you will definitely not have to worry about food and drink, and you will have maids and servants to serve you. Isn't your life better than that of ordinary people?"

Yun Huaishan's eyes lit up when he heard this. "Dad, what do you mean... will the Gong family agree?"

"How should I know? Whether she agrees or not, we have to wait until the matchmaker shows up to find out."

Old Man Yun pinched his beard and turned away.

Yun Huaishan was left alone, sitting restlessly on the hospital bed.

Mr. Yun was very decisive in his work. He went home and found Xi to tell her about this matter. He was mainly worried about Yun Huaishan's lifelong problems.

"Second brother's wife, go find a matchmaker and go to the Gong family to see what they mean. If they are willing, we can arrange the marriage after the eldest brother's leg is healed."

When Xi heard this, she slapped her thigh with joy.

"Oh, Dad, this is a good thing. I'll go find a matchmaker now."

As he said this, he was about to go out in a hurry.

He walked two steps and then stopped. "Dad, we have to go to another village to find a matchmaker, which is a waste of time. I might as well go to Aunt Bao and ask her to help me be the matchmaker."

As she said this, she asked her maid to find a gift, as it was appropriate to bring something when asking someone to act as a matchmaker.

Aunt Bao was very happy to be the matchmaker.

Not to mention that Yun Huaishan had done their family a favor, his leg was injured because of the help he gave them, and he has always felt very guilty about it.

"I can help now," Aunt Bao promised, patting her chest.

"Don't worry, I will definitely help Uncle Yun marry this daughter-in-law."

Aunt Bao had already organized various words in her mind and came to the Gong family with high morale.

The Gong family was connected to the clinic, but their main door was facing the other direction. They didn't have to go through the clinic to enter or leave.

"Is his aunt home?"

The door of the Gong family was closed. Aunt Bao straightened her clothes and combed her hair before knocking on the door.

Soon a woman's voice was heard from the room, "Who is it? Here I come."

When she opened the door and saw that it was Aunt Bao, Gong Lin was stunned, "Oh, it's Aunt Bao, come in quickly."

Aunt Bao came into the room with a smile on her face and said in the tone of a matchmaker,

"Hahaha, happy event, a very happy event for his aunt."

Gong Lin was confused, "What's the happy event?"

Aunt Bao enthusiastically took Gong Lin's hand and said, "Come on, let's go inside and I'll talk to you."

After entering the house, Gong Lin poured her a cup of tea. Before Aunt Bao could even take a sip, she told her the purpose of her visit.

When Gong Lin heard this, she thought it was indeed a happy event.

He excitedly pulled Aunt Bao's hand and asked, "Are you serious? The eldest son of the Yun family wants to marry our Taozhi?"

Aunt Bao patted her hands with a smile, "It's absolutely true."

Gong Lin wanted to agree immediately, but she thought that she still had to tell Doctor Gong and her daughter about this matter, so she suppressed her excitement and said, "Aunt Bao, I have to ask the head of the family He Taozhi about this matter. I will give you a reply tomorrow, okay?"

"Okay, of course. Then I'll wait for your good news."

Aunt Bao left happily. Seeing Gong Linshi like this, she knew that the marriage was inevitable.

It's estimated that all the nice words she prepared would be of no use.
