Chapter 136 I Want All the Handsome Men in the World
As soon as Yan Nanfei reached the door, a matchmaker came to ask her questions.
"Young lady, may I ask how to get to Hua Tuo's house?" The matchmaker's face was always beaming with joy, no matter the time or place.
Yan Nanfei frowned, his eyes revealing doubt: "What do you want with Hua Tuo?"
Hua Tuo is a young widow; we can't just let him remarry, can we?!
Thinking of this, Yan Nanfei's gaze turned cold and sharp, making the matchmaker tremble with fear.
The matchmaker was a little scared, but she couldn't leave.
The matchmaker walked all the way here without encountering a single person.
Was it Yan Nanfei, or the first person she encountered upon entering the village?
"Ah, it's like this," the matchmaker forced a smile, "There's a family in town who've heard that Hua Tuo knows medicine, and they happen to have a daughter who's frail and sickly, so they want to marry someone who knows medicine to take care of her."
Yan Nanfei narrowed her eyes. Her guess was right; they really had come to propose marriage to Hua Tuo.
But when it comes to matchmaking, can't you talk about something more normal?
Although Hua Tuo was a young widow, he had regular features, was in good health, and was knowledgeable in medicine.
Even if she were to remarry, she would still be worthy of a respectable family.
Yan Nanfei initially wanted to refuse the matchmaker, but then she thought, what if Hua Tuo really wanted to remarry?
After much deliberation, Yan Nanfei decided not to obstruct Huatuo's rights in this regard.
"Okay, come with me."
Yan Nanfei brought the matchmaker to Hua Tuo's house. By then, Hua Tuo no longer needed a cane to walk and had recovered to the seventh level.
Hua Tuo, who was drying medicinal herbs, saw Yan Nanfei bring a matchmaker to his door and asked with a puzzled look, "Miss Yan, what's going on? Why did you bring a matchmaker to my house?"
Could it be that Yan Nanfei wants to propose marriage to him?!
Thinking of this, Hua Tuo felt a little flustered.
Although Yan Nanfei was really good to him, Yan Nanfei held a special place in Hua Tuo's heart.
But if she were to marry him so soon, Hua Tuo still couldn't accept it!
Because his feelings for Yan Nanfei were not strong enough to warrant marrying her!
"This matchmaker is here to see you. I'll bring her over." Yan Nanfei's relaxed tone poured cold water on Hua Tuo, extinguishing his wishful thinking.
What should I do?! This is so embarrassing!
Hua Tuo silently sighed in his heart, thankful that he hadn't blurted out his thoughts earlier, otherwise Yan Nanfei would definitely have looked at him like he was a monster.
"Huh...?" Hua Tuo stared wide-eyed at the matchmaker, who walked towards him, saying, "Don't come any closer!"
Hua Tuo stretched out his hand to stop the approaching matchmaker: "I'm not getting married, what are you doing here?"
The matchmaker stopped and excitedly told Linfeng that someone in town had come to see the Chinese rubbings.
"Linfeng, this family is very wealthy. If you marry into their family, I guarantee you'll never have to worry about food or drink, and you won't have to struggle for three meals a day anymore."
The matchmaker used almost every kind word she could think of to try and win Huatuo's heart.
After all, she was a matchmaker; she knew every household and every family in this area.
Hua Tuo has been a widow for several years and has not remarried, so she definitely doesn't want to get married.
Therefore, the matchmaker has to make all sorts of effusive claims. As long as she can arrange the marriage, she can receive a hefty matchmaker's red envelope.
Instead of a small pull-string red envelope.
Unexpectedly, after listening, Hua Tuo's expression was very cold, even disgusted: "I have no intention of getting married. You can leave now and don't come back."
The matchmaker never expected Hua Tuo to refuse such a good offer. She quickly tried to persuade him, even trying to get Yan Na to help: "Young lady, you must persuade Hua Tuo. This is a great opportunity. Once this opportunity is missed, this land will be gone forever!"
When Yan Nanfei saw that Hua Tuo was so resistant to remarrying, instead of helping the matchmaker persuade Hua Tuo, he attacked the matchmaker: "Hey, since Hua Tuo doesn't want to get married, you can't just tie him up and drag him there, can you?"
"Besides, aren't you matchmakers all capable of making a rotten persimmon on the ground sound like the bright moon in the sky?" Yan Nanfei scoffed. "If this family is really as good as you say, why don't you marry your son off to them? He'll be living a life of luxury there!"
The matchmaker was speechless at Yan Nanfei's words, but as a matchmaker, she wouldn't offend anyone: "Oh dear, look at what this young lady is saying. If my son weren't already married, I would definitely have made him go."
Yan Nanfei raised an eyebrow, his smile not reaching his eyes: "Since that's the case, why don't you let your son and his wife divorce? After all, it's not easy to find a family with such good conditions as the one you mentioned!"
Upon hearing Yan Nanfei's words, the matchmaker almost lost her smile: "Oh dear, I'm a matchmaker. The family I've found for my son is naturally excellent. There's no need for him to divorce and remarry."
“But Hua Tuo is different.” The matchmaker looked at Hua Tuo with pitiful eyes: “He hadn’t even stepped into the house yet when his wife died, and his mother-in-law went with her. He was all alone in the family. How pitiful he was.”
"And he should be laughing in his bed if someone with such good qualities is willing to marry him."
Yan Nanfei narrowed his eyes, about to kick the matchmaker a few times, when Hua Tuo spoke up: "I am a cursed star, I bring misfortune to people. If you don't leave my house, believe me, I will curse your whole family to never have peace?"
Upon hearing Hua Tuo's words, the matchmaker immediately became cautious!
Hua Tuo, the jinx, was known for his jinxed nature a few years ago, and his reputation for bringing misfortune to others was well-known for miles around!
So the matchmaker was scared, really scared!
"Huatuo, don't be angry, I'm so sorry." The matchmaker didn't want her whole family to be in turmoil: "I just cared about you too much and wanted to find you a new life..."
"My life is fine, you don't need to say any more nonsense." Hua Tuo's gaze was unusually cold as he stared directly at the matchmaker: "If you dare to step into my house again, I will curse your whole family!"
With each word Hua Tuo spoke, the matchmaker took a step back until she reached the doorway, where she vanished in a flash!
Hua Tuo watched the matchmaker leave and breathed a sigh of relief. He never thought that one day he would use this superstitious act to scare away a matchmaker.
"Hua Tuo, you don't need to say that." Yan Nanfei felt sorry for Hua Tuo belittling himself, even though he knew that Hua Tuo was trying to scare away the matchmaker.
He must have felt bad about saying that.
Hua Tuo smiled indifferently: "What's the big deal? It's been on my head for so many years. If I don't use it, I'll be letting my head down all these years and not let it vent its anger."
Yan Nanfei lowered her beautiful eyes, stepped forward and patted his shoulder: "Tomorrow is beautiful. I hope that in every moment of the future, we can change the status quo together!"
