Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Matchmaker
Jiang Liuli knew that she had someone she liked when she saw her reaction, otherwise she wouldn't dare to look at her, and she wouldn't have lost her mind for a moment, but she didn't know if the person she liked was Wu Dachun, if not, then this matter would be troublesome.
"Nope." Qiu Ran shook her head and replied, this answer was what she expected, so she was not surprised, it was still the same sentence, they were not familiar with each other, she would not tell her what was going on without scruples.
"Do you know where I'm from? Why did they come to you? Jiang Liuli took a sip of tea, but her eyes were still staring at her.
"I don't know." Qiu Ran shook her head again, she was still wondering at this point.
"I just came from Willow Creek Village, what happened there, you should know." She didn't hesitate to explain where she came from, wondering if she would retreat like others.
"You're from Willow Creek Village? Is it okay there? After Qiu Ran found out, she didn't run away, but looked at her nervously, and she was still very satisfied with this performance.
"The disease has been resolved, and soon all people will be cured." She did not hide the matter of Liuxi Village, but told the truth.
"Really? That's great. She smiled happily, in contrast to the sad look she had seen earlier.
Jiang Liuli saw her react like this, and she was a little counting, but for the sake of safety, she still had to ask carefully, so that she could proceed to the next step.
"Girl, how many people are still alive in Liuxi Village?" After Qiu Ran was happy, she asked cautiously, obviously, she cared about the people in Liuxi Village, or a certain person.
"Twenty or thirty people." Jiang Liuli said with a sigh, thinking of the scattered villagers in the village, her heart was also very uncomfortable.
Qiu Ran listened, and suddenly coughed, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and kept coughing, which made Jiang Liuli feel very curious, it was fine just now, nothing happened at all, why did something suddenly happen now?
"Are you alright?" She asked worriedly, her appearance is really as Wu Dachun said, coughing can indeed kill people.
"It's okay, it's an old problem." She replied while coughing, and her speech was also intermittent.
"Give me your hand." Seeing her like this, I can only help her take a look at it first, and then cough like this, it will indeed vomit blood.
Although Qiu Ran was puzzled, she still obediently handed her the white tender hand, and when Jiang Liuli saw this, she took her pulse and wanted to see why she was coughing.
Jiang Liuli took her hand away after finishing the pulse, her illness is indeed as Wu Dachun said, her body is weak, but it is different, because her body is weaker than many people, if she guessed correctly, it is estimated that she fell into the river before, and after being rescued, she was not treated in time, and her body will be weak, once she suffers a little wind and cold, she will be as sick as if she is seriously ill, her body does need to be well adjusted, otherwise her life will not be too long.
"Miss Qiuran, I won't talk to you around the bush, in fact, I came this time to bring you a message for a villager." Jiang Liuli looked at her seriously, she planned to test her in another way.
"Who does the girl help with the talk?" Qiu Ran looked at her with a pale face, the cough just now seemed to consume all her physical strength, weak and weak.
"Wu Dachun." She was still observing Akizome's expression, and after she listened, she became nervous again, and her face seemed to be even paler.
"How is he? Is he okay? Qiu Ran could no longer hide his concern for him, grabbed Jiang Liuli's hand, and asked worriedly and fearfully.
"He only said three words, I'm sorry." Jiang Liuli regretted it a little when she saw her like this, her health was not good, and if she scared her like this, she would probably be frightened too much and fall ill, but at this time, the arrow was on the string, and she could not be allowed to retreat.
Qiu Ran froze when she heard this, and when she came back to her senses, tears suddenly fell without warning, Jiang Liuli didn't know that what she said casually made her think of bad things.
"No, it can't be, it can't be." Qiu Ran shook her head in despair when she heard this, and let go of her weakly with both hands, looking at her, as if she would faint in the next moment.
"Do you know Wu Dachun?" Jiang Liuli looked at her worriedly, it seemed that she had better speak well as soon as possible, otherwise her sin would be great.
"Yes, he is my savior and the person I love most in my life." Qiu Ran cried sadly, and the secret in his heart was unconsciously said, and the last sentence was not even known to Wu Dachun.
"Why are you crying, I didn't say he was dead." Jiang Liuli hurriedly explained clearly, afraid that she would cry too much and get sick again.
Qiu Ran listened to her words and looked at her in a daze, obviously not coming back to her senses, and the tears in the corners of her eyes still flowed.
"He's not dead?" She asked in a daze, afraid that she had heard it wrong.
"Yes, he's not dead, he's fine." Jiang Liuli said helplessly, Wu Dachun is also fateful, his body is so weak, and he has not been infected with the epidemic.
After Qiu Ran got the answer, he smiled happily, and wiped the tears on his face elegantly with a handkerchief.
Although Wu Dachun is just an ordinary villager who can't read a few big words, his appearance is quite passable, his eyebrows are clear, and he doesn't look like a person who has worked as a coolie or planted a field at all, but the calluses on his palms really tell others that he has indeed suffered a lot.
If he was with Qiu Ran, he might not be able to give her a rich life, but he would not be hungry and tired, but he didn't know if she would like to live that ordinary life.
"Do you want to be with him?" Jiang Liuli asked curiously, if she really loved each other, she would definitely be willing.
"From the moment I stepped into the green building, I didn't deserve anyone." Qiu Ran slowly lowered her head, for her, whether it was selling her art or selling her body, as long as she stepped into the Qinglou, she was no longer an innocent person.
"Do you know what he thinks?" Thinking of Wu Dachun's reaction at that time, he knew that he had the same idea as her, and they both felt that they were not worthy of each other.
"I don't know." Her hands stirred the handkerchief in her hand with nervousness, and it seemed that she cared a lot about her place in his heart.
"He doesn't feel worthy of you, either. Because he is a farmer, he will give you nothing more than a home. Although Wu Dachun didn't say these words, he did think so in his heart.
Qiu Ran looked at her in disbelief, although she didn't know much about Wu Dachun, but she knew that he was a very kind and simple person, and a man like him should have many girls who wanted to marry.
Thinking that he had the same thoughts about herself, her heart began to jump, but soon she was lost again, what his family background was, she knew very well, and she was in the Qinglou, it was difficult to get out, it seemed that it was still difficult to be together.
"If I say I can help him redeem your life, will you follow him?" Jiang Liuli saw that she was silent, and knew that her heart was at war between heaven and man.
Qiu Ran looked at her in shock, although she was not in good health, she was still a red card, and if she wanted to redeem herself, she needed at least ten thousand taels.
"Why are you helping us?" Qiu Ran looked at her vigilantly, she wouldn't help them for no reason, she definitely had a purpose in doing so.
"I don't have any purpose for helping you, but I just want to be a matchmaker recently, in addition to helping you, I've helped a lot of crazy men and women to be paired." Jiang Liuli smiled helplessly, during this time, she was indeed helping her sisters find their own happiness, so she did become a matchmaker.
Seeing Qiu Ran's disbelief, she sighed helplessly and told her the truth, asking her to admit that she was doing this for a man, which was really a little embarrassing.
"He studied medicine for me?" Qiu Ran asked stunned, she didn't expect that in the place where she couldn't see, Wu Dachun had already done a lot for her.
"Yes, and once you study medicine, you will go away, and you don't know when you want to come back." Jiang Liuli said helplessly, didn't he think at that time that when he returned from studying medicine, she might have been ransomed by other men as a concubine?
"He's so stupid, I don't deserve his dedication at all." Qiu Ran said sadly, he had told himself that his mother was a very important existence to him, and now he had to give up his mother for her.
"He's not stupid, he just wants to take care of your body so that you don't have to suffer from illness anymore." Jiang Liuli slowly said Wu Dachun's true thoughts, what he wanted was not to be able to love her for a long time, but to want her to be healthy.
"Ahem, cough ......" Qiu Ran coughed sadly again, which made Jiang Liuli even more worried, her body like this is really not ordinarily bad, if she is so depressed, her body will only get worse and worse.
"Want to be with him?" Jiang Liuli asked again, it was very simple to ransom her, but it would be difficult for her to be with Wu Dachun willingly and without scruples.
"Yes." This time she nodded without hesitation, since he rescued her in the river, she wanted to be with him, but because of her identity, she had been holding back her feelings for him.
"Okay, as long as you want, I'll take care of the rest of the matter, you just pack your things and get ready to go with me." Seeing that she agreed, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, it was still a little difficult for her to do good deeds.
"Hmm." This time she no longer objected, and left it to her to deal with, the key is that she can't help if she wants to, don't help when the time comes, it will be bad.
After Jiang Liuli finished talking to her, she went to the mother of the housekeeper of the Qinglou and discussed with her about redeeming herself.
Qiu Ran was favored by a wealthy businessman and wanted to redeem her body, marry her home as a concubine, and the two wanted to redeem her at the same time, but the housekeeper's mother actually opened her mouth and asked for 150,000 taels of silver.
Originally, 50,000 or 100,000 could have solved the matter, but it cost her 150,000 taels, she was still angry in her heart, but she was helpless, who made Qiu Ran so popular, even if there was no rich businessman to redeem her this time, there would be others.
However, as long as the things that can be solved with silver taels are the simplest, she is Jiang Liuli, who is rich and rivals the country, and this little money is nothing in her eyes.
