Upon hearing the advice, Gui Hua attempted to move. The next moment, a piercing scream, loud enough to shatter the heavens, erupted from Gui Hua’s small shop. She dared not move again, muttering incessantly, “It hurts, it hurts so much. I can’t move, not even a bit. I’m in so much pain!”
Gu Zi handed her child, Su Le, to her sister-in-law, mindful of the glass shards scattered on the ground. It was too dangerous for a child. She carefully approached Gui Hua, crouched down, and gently touched her thigh. Her eyebrows furrowed slightly, “It seems like a fracture. We need to find someone to set the bone. You all should clean up the glass first. Gui Hua, is there a bone-setting doctor in town?”
Gu Zi, with her basic knowledge, knew that in such a situation, it was best for Gui Hua not to move too much. They should wait for the bone-setting doctor to avoid exacerbating the injury.
Upon hearing that she had fractured her bone, Gui Hua turned pale with fear, convinced that she was doomed. “Am I going to die? Why am I so unlucky? My siblings just left to visit relatives, and I fell…”
Seeing Gui Hua in this state, Gu Zi realized that she was too panicked to think clearly. Just as she was about to send someone to find help, Lin Hun stepped forward, “I know a bone-setting doctor in town. He’s very skilled. Should we take her there?”
Gu Zi asked, “Do you know where the doctor lives? We shouldn’t take her there. It would be best if the doctor could come here. Could you go fetch him?”
Upon hearing this, Gui Hua, who was lying down, realized that she had no choice but to rely on the man she despised the most. This realization made her cry even louder.
Lin Hun found her crying annoying and covered his ears. He agreed to Gu Zi’s request and ran off without looking back. Although he didn’t like Gui Hua, he couldn’t just stand by and watch her suffer. He decided to put their differences aside for the time being.
Lin Hun was quick on his feet and soon returned with the bone-setting doctor. More accurately, he carried the doctor back, as the doctor appeared to be blind.
Regardless, the moment Lin Hun returned, Gui Hua’s heart pounded with relief. Her leg could be saved!
Despite being blind, the bone-setting doctor was highly skilled. With a few simple manipulations of Gui Hua’s leg, the pain significantly lessened.
He wrapped Gui Hua’s leg in white cloth. Gu Zi knew that the cloth served to stabilize the leg. With some bed rest, Gui Hua’s bone would heal. Gu Zi found the whole process quite miraculous.
Lin Hun carried the doctor back home. By the time he left Gui Hua’s house, it was already dark. Gui Hua thanked him in a whisper.
Li Hua teased her, “Your ‘thank you’ was quieter than a mosquito’s buzz. Could he even hear it? If you really want to thank him, why not find a proper opportunity to do so? I’ve just realized that Lin Hun is quite generous.”
Gu Zi nodded in agreement. At first, she thought her sister-in-law was joking about pairing Gui Hua and Lin Hun. But now, it seemed like there might be something there. Who could predict the course of fate?
In the following days, Gui Hua rested and healed. She often asked her brother to carry her to Li Hua’s shop, claiming that staying at home all day was driving her crazy. She needed some fresh air and a chat with Li Hua.
However, Li Hua saw through her. Gui Hua had an ulterior motive. After all, Lin Hun often visited the shop with Lin Cheng to deliver goods. If Gui Hua spent more time at the shop, she would naturally run into Lin Hun more often.
Eventually, Gui Hua stopped hiding her feelings from her good friend Li Hua. Her attitude towards Lin Hun had changed drastically. “At first, I really couldn’t stand him. He seemed like a second-rate guy, and he’s not as handsome as your Lin Cheng. But now, I’ve grown to like him.
“I’ll be honest with you. When he helped me by carrying the doctor here, I was moved. Li Hua, you said that Lin Hun has never had a serious girlfriend. What do you think of me?”
Gui Hua now felt that she was attracted to Lin Hun. He was strong and worked at a pig farm, which was considered a good job in their village. Moreover, his family’s conditions were average for their village.
All things considered, she thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to date him. If things went well, they could get married and have children. Gui Hua felt like she couldn’t wait!
Li Hua was taken aback by Gui Hua’s straightforward confession. She hadn’t expected that her casual joke could potentially bring the two together. She had never played matchmaker before. “So, you want me to play cupid for you two?”
