Chapter 256 (2/2)
”Yes, sir, it's asking for trouble.”
Just then, quiet came back with a plastic bag of vegetables from outside.
He asked quietly, ”brother, can you really cure the old man's son's leg?”
”I didn't make this wish. I just said that I would try my best to cure it. Maybe it would improve the lameness of the old man's son. I once stressed that it's just possible.”
Quietly looking at this solemn statement, sighed and said: ”it's this statement that makes our sisters in conflict.”
Chang Wen was surprised and asked, ”do you want to be the father's daughter-in-law?”
”Yes, when I came back from work just now, several sisters read this solemn statement. Among them, three sisters moved their hearts and got into a dispute. I guess they are still arguing in the room
Chang Wen said with a smile, ”I'd like to hear what your sisters think. Do they value betrothal gifts?”
”The old man's son is very good, but he is a bit lame. If his lameness is cured, he will become a hot commodity of course.”
Chang Wen went into the yard and said to the thin monkey, ”you go to the old man's house first. I'll go and have a look at their house quietly. It's a rumor, so that these young ladies and sisters won't be fooled.”
Five sisters rented a single room with an area of only 20 square meters.
The four sisters are chattering and arguing
”I think his son's leg seems to be better these two days. Maybe it can be cured. If his leg is not lame, it's a good choice to marry him.”
”I don't think it's that simple. The leg that has been lamed for more than ten years can be cured in just a few days. I don't believe brother Chang has such magical ability.”
”If you can really cure that boy's leg, you will earn money by marrying him. Once this place is demolished, his family will make a fortune.”
”I said I would marry him first. Don't argue with me.”
”As soon as I saw the solemn statement, I wanted to marry the old man's son. Although I didn't say it, that's what I thought in my heart. Therefore, I should have priority.”
…………
The four sisters had a good fight.
Quiet frowned and said: ”everyone be quiet, I invited Chang Ge. It's Chang Ge who treated the old man's son. Let him talk about whether he can cure the old man's son's leg.”
Chang Wen cleared his throat and said, ”I never promised the old man that I would cure his son's leg. As for whether he can cure his son's leg, it depends on his luck. I think: maybe the lameness will be improved. Even if it is cured temporarily, it is hard to say that it will not recur in the future. So if you want to be the old man's daughter-in-law, you have to be prepared, Don't regret it then. ”
The four girls were silent.
After a moment's silence, a girl sighed and said, ”if the lame can't be cured, I don't want to marry the lame. In the future, husband and wife will be laughed at when they go to the street together.”
Another girl echoed: ”yes, people in my village will look down on me when I marry a lame man and go back to my hometown.”
An argument was finally over, and everyone happily began to cook dinner.
Chang Wen sighed and thought: in the face of interests, friendship that looks like a sister will melt away like ice and snow. Maybe this is human nature.
