Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

He strode out and bowed to Ye Muyu. Then he lowered his rough voice and asked, “Madam, why are you here today?”

“I’m looking for Doctor Lu.”

“Are you all gathered at home? Aren’t you going out to have some fun?” It was rare to have a holiday. Usually, these people were either on the way or on the way back from a trip.

The journey was arduous, but the harvest was plentiful.

Huo Yun scratched his head awkwardly. “Madam, we don’t dare to get drunk. We’ll just drink in the house, in case anything happens. Besides, we’re saving money to get married.”

“None of you are married?” Ye Muyu was a little surprised. She subconsciously glanced at Huo Yun and confirmed that he was not young anymore.

“No.” Huo Yun was even more depressed.

“How old are you guys?” Ye Muyu thought that only with a family could she be stable. How could she let her subordinate remain single?

“I’m twenty-eight years old.” Huo Yun blushed. “Madam, we often run around. No girl dares to marry us. We just want to raise money and get the matchmaker to introduce some poor girls.”

He was not young anymore.

Ye Muyu looked up at him. “I’ll be your matchmaker. Are you willing?”

“What? You’re going to be our matchmaker?” Huo Yun thought it was a pleasant surprise. He quickly nodded. “Madam, as long as you’re willing.”

Ye Muyu could not help but laugh. “If I find someone who’s crippled, will you be willing to marry her?”

“If the other party is missing an arm or a leg, and Madam still likes her. She definitely has her own strengths. It’s fine as long as she doesn’t despise me. How can I despise a young lady?” Huo Yun said honestly.

Ye Muyu was surprised when she heard that. She wondered where Chu Heng found such men with low expectations.

She kept this matter in her heart.

She asked Huo Yun to arrange things for her, and then she found Lu Sangqi, who was reading a medical book in his room.

“Are you there?” Ye Muyu took a clean teacup and poured some tea.

She casually took a sip and felt that it was a little bitter. She resisted the urge to spit it out and smacked her lips.

Lu Sangqi sat on the bamboo mat on the ground.

“It’s all because of your husband. He asked me to treat Luo Shen’s leg. It’s not that easy. His body is filled with toxins, and his leg has indeed been injured for many years. If he hadn’t been massaging it often, the flesh on his leg would have died long ago.”

“However, the cases you gave me are indeed useful. Where did you collect those cases?” Lu Sangqi asked casually.

“Some ancient books. If you think it’s useful, then give it a try,” Ye Muyu said concisely. “Some of the claims about needing surgery are a little shocking, but since our ancestors have such a book passed down, they must have tried it out long ago.”

“Yes, I’ll study hard.” Lu Sangqi did not refute this time.

“Why did you come to find me today?”

“Oh, I need some frostbite medicine. Do you have it here?” Ye Muyu asked.

Lu Sangqi shook his head. “Only ordinary people would have that kind of medicine. Rich families wouldn’t have it at all. Naturally, this medicine wouldn’t sell for much. No doctor would be willing to spend so much effort to get that kind of medicine.”

“You’re not right. The servants of those rich families have monthly salaries and have to work in winter. Why doesn’t anyone buy medicine for frostbite?” Ye Muyu questioned.

Lu Sangqi glared at her. “No matter how much money they have, they might not buy it. In short, the truth is that frostbite cream doesn’t sell much, so naturally, they make less.”
