Seeing Chu Jinzhou’s straightforward agreement, a smile appeared on Fan Wenxuan’s face.
Progressive, very good, very good.
“Little Sister Ning.”
Zhuang Qingning was checking the century egg curing method in the workshop, correcting any issues. Hearing the sound, she looked up to see Zhuang Wencheng rushing over enthusiastically.
He was sweating profusely.
Brother Wencheng?” Zhuang Qingning was quite surprised, “When did you come back?”
I came back last night.” Zhuang Wencheng said with a grin, “I heard that Uncle Yonghe is helping with your herbal medicine collection. Should I go directly to Uncle Yonghe’s house to start the work?”
In theory, that should be the case.
However…
Zhuang Qingning instructed the others to continue working, then pulled Zhuang Wencheng aside, “Have you talked to Aunt Wang about it?”
Zhuang Qingning was well aware of Mrs. Wang’s temper; if Wang knew that Zhuang Wencheng had been chased away by the pharmacy, she would probably throw a fit.
Although Zhuang Qingning wasn’t afraid, for Zhuang Wencheng’s sake, she couldn’t be too aggressive in confronting it directly.
This kind of dilemma, having to balance between personal interest and childhood friendship, was the most torturous situation for Zhuang Qingning.
“I did.”
Zhuang Wencheng straightened up and smiled, “Yesterday afternoon when I came back home, I first threw a tantrum, saying that studying medicine is extremely hard. I can’t eat well or have a decent place to stay. I have to please everyone, the master often scolded me, and I had to do all sorts of tiring chores in the shop. In short, I couldn’t stand it any longer and don’t want to continue.” I also pointed out that being a doctor in the county town is utterly dangerous.
If I accidentally wrong treatment, I could be beaten or have my door blocked. It would be better to be a wandering doctor at home. It’s leisurely and doesn’t earn less money.”
“Did Aunt believe you?” Zhuang Qingning couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows.
Zhuang Wencheng was a good-hearted and honest man. He had always said before that as a disciple, he should work hard and bear hardships for the master. Because of this, almost everyone in the village believed that Zhuang Wencheng was a thoughtful and kind-hearted child.
A person who always put others’ needs first, was honest, and unafraid of hardship, if suddenly started to complain, people would think it’s indeed the circumstance that has been unreasonably harsh.
“My mother didn’t believe it initially. But I talked to my father in advance about the inside story, and he helped me, saying that I always said that I was not tired or busy, but now I was complaining about impatience. This shows how much suffering and tiredness I have endured in daily life.”
“Upon hearing this, my mother immediately burst into tears and said that she regretted not knowing about it earlier. If she knew, she would never let me suffer like this. In the end, she comforted me, saying that it didn’t matter if I didn’t study.”
Zhuang Wencheng smiled and said, “I didn’t expect it to go so smoothly. Good thing my father is clever, he helped me a lot.”
‘In the morning, I told my mother about helping you manage the medicinal herbs in the coming days. Firstly, I have not been at home for a long time and had not got familiar with these people. If I continue to be a doctor in the future, people won’t recognize me. This would be a good opportunity to mingle with everyone.”
