Chapter 276 Being Driven Away

"If we can sell this to the capital city, the quantity will definitely not be small. I was just saying that I will go home early tomorrow morning and talk to Ning about this matter to see if we can supply more goods."

"Is this the mosquito repellent herbal recipe that Sister Ning prepared?"

When Zhuang Qingning was mentioned, Zhuang Wencheng's eyes sparkled. "Then this recipe is really good. I remember that Sister Ning's father had also been to many places and had a lot of experience. It might be a good thing that he left behind."

"That's exactly what I'm talking about. Miss Ning is a good businesswoman. If you work with Miss Ning in the future, you will definitely get benefits." Zhuang Yutian said with a smile.

"Just now, my cousin said that he would go home tomorrow. I have saved some money. I will go to the bakery to buy some pastries that my parents like to eat. I will bring them back to you." Zhuang Wencheng said, "I will send them to you tomorrow morning."

"I have to get up early in the morning to cook and clean up the shop these days, so I'm afraid I won't have time. How about this, I'll give the silver to you, my cousin, and you go to the cake shop to buy some for me? Just buy the peach cakes from that shop."

As Zhuang Wencheng spoke, he stuffed the silver into Zhuang Yutian's hand.

"If it were in the past, I wouldn't have stopped you. Let's not do it for the time being."

Zhuang Yutian tried to dissuade him, "Your parents are already worried about you. If you bring anything back, they will be even more distressed. Every time I go back, your mother always asks me how you are and asks me to bring something back for you. If you ask me to bring anything back again, your mother will be so distressed."

"I'm afraid that if I take these cakes back today, your parents will come to the county town to see you tomorrow."

"Uncle, you don't know this." Zhuang Wencheng laughed, "It's because I used to send things back, and my parents are used to it. If I don't bring anything back this time, it will prove that I haven't had a good time recently, and my parents will be more worried. But if I bring something back, my parents will think I am the same as usual, and they will be relieved."

"Uncle, do you think this is the truth?"

"That does make some sense..."

Zhuang Yutian nodded, "Okay, then I'll bring the peach cake back to you, but you don't need to pay for it, just take it and use it. I'll prepare the peach cake later and bring it back tomorrow."

For Zhuang Wencheng, who was learning skills from a master in the county town, it would be better for him to have some money in his hands so that he would feel more at ease and it would be easier for him to do things.

Therefore, Zhuang Yutian felt that he could not accept the money no matter what.

While he was talking, he stuffed the silver into Zhuang Wencheng's hand and walked away quickly.

Zhuang Wencheng was caught off guard. When he came to his senses, he could only see Zhuang Yutian's back. He couldn't catch up with him, so he could only smile and shake his head. He put the silver away for the time being, waiting for an opportunity to return the silver to Zhuang Yutian.

They returned to the pharmacy. Ge Tonghua and Han Hu were talking in the hall. When they saw Zhuang Wencheng coming back, they stopped talking.

"Wencheng is back." Han Hu greeted him with a smile as usual.

"I'm back." Zhuang Wencheng responded with a smile, but when he saw Ge Tonghua's face, it was extremely gloomy.

Ge Tonghua had been like this every day for a while, and he was not in a good mood at all. Zhuang Wencheng knew the reason for his displeasure, and he was used to his cold treatment in the past few days, so he did not ask for too much. He just smiled and said, "Master, how about having your favorite minced meat eggplant tonight, and making some spicy and sour fried lotus root?"

"Dinner is not a big deal." Ge Tonghua put down the recipe in his hand and said, "Let me ask you first, why did it take you so long to buy vegetables just now?"

"I just met my uncle on the road and talked to him for a few minutes, which delayed me for some time..." Zhuang Wencheng answered truthfully.

"Uncle? I remember you said before that the Zhuang's Cloth Shop over there was opened by your uncle, but who is the manager?" Ge Tonghua asked again.

"Yes, that's the shopkeeper Zhuang."

"Since you admit it, then this matter will be easy to talk about."

Ge Tonghua stroked his beard, looked at Zhuang Wencheng for a long time, sighed, and patted him on the shoulder. "Wencheng, when I accepted you as my apprentice, do you still remember what I said to you?"

"I remember, my master said that I didn't have much talent, but I was honest and could practice medicine and treat illnesses, so he kept me."

Zhuang Wencheng clenched his fingers in his sleeves, pursed his lips and looked at Ge Tonghua.

Ge Tonghua nodded and said, "Yes, that's what I said at the time. But now it seems that I was wrong. You are really not suitable for this medical profession, nor are you suitable to be my apprentice. From now on, I think you should not stay here and find another place to go."

Zhuang Wencheng was frozen in place.

During this period of time, Ge Tonghua had been speaking coldly to her, and often he even shook his head and sighed. Zhuang Wencheng felt that something was not right. Just now, he heard him mention the time when he became a disciple and learned martial arts. His heart suddenly skipped a beat. Now, when he heard these words again...

Sure enough, the previous misunderstanding about the replacement of herbs and the impact of this Zhuang Qinghe incident still made Ge Tonghua unable to get over the hurdle in his heart.

Zhuang Wencheng's nose suddenly felt sour, and a layer of mist rose in his eyes. It seemed that the mist would condense into water and flow out of his eye sockets at any time.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

But Zhuang Wencheng still held back.

His lips twitched several times, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Yeah, what is he saying? Say that these things are not his fault, and let Ge Tonghua give him one last chance?

He had refuted the matter of the herbs before, but in the end, Ge Tonghua didn't listen to a word he said. He just thought that he must have done it and just didn't want to admit it.

If we explain and refute it now, I am afraid the outcome and result will be the same.

Even if he tried his best to stay, he would probably just sit on the bench forever. Ge Tonghua would no longer teach him any medical skills. If he continued to stay in the pharmacy, he would just be working for nothing.

Zhuang Wencheng thought clearly and saw things clearly in his mind, but he felt reluctant that the friendship between master and disciple was broken just like that after having been his disciple for so many years and following Ge Tonghua for so many years.

For a moment, Zhuang Wencheng felt as if his heart was filled with mixed feelings and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

"Master." Zhuang Wencheng felt his throat tighten and tried hard to force out a smile. "How about letting me stay here for another ten days?"

It took about ten days to trim the tree in the backyard, take out the winter cotton quilts and wash them, tidy up every corner of the house, and cook a few days of Ge Tonghua's favorite dishes.

In this way, it can be regarded as a relationship between master and disciple, and it should be completely concluded.
