The entire village shakes their heads at Zhuang Qingning - an orphaned girl who, after recovering from illness, stubbornly registers as a female household head instead of living with her uncle.
...Chapter 291: A Match
"Sister Ning, please don't think too much about this. I don't want to be an apprentice in the medicine shop anymore, otherwise I wouldn't even explain it to my master. It really has nothing to do with you and your cousin. I'm telling you this specifically because I don't want you to think too much."
"Since Brother Wencheng has said so, I also understand what Brother Wencheng is thinking." Zhuang Qingning said with a smile, "On the way here, Uncle Yutian and I were still discussing this matter of yours. In the end, it all depends on what you, Brother Wencheng, think."
"If you don't want to study medicine in the future, Brother Wencheng, the cloth shop is short of manpower now, so you can practice a little. Also, I'm afraid that the herbs collected in the village are not enough for the herbal medicine bags these days. If I want to buy them from the herbal medicine store later, Brother Wencheng can help check them."
"If you still want to study medicine, Brother Wencheng, Uncle Yutian said he would see if he could find a more suitable master for you. But you'll have to wait a little longer, so Brother Wencheng doesn't have to be too anxious."
"Oh, are you going to learn this or not? Medical skills can only be learned by seeing more patients and reading more medical books. Now that you have the basics, it depends on how you study. After so many years of study, I can treat common headaches and fevers."
Zhuang Wencheng replied, "I had just come out of the medicine shop and didn't know what to do. I was also afraid to go home suddenly. People at home kept asking me questions. Sister Ning probably knew my mother's temper. I didn't know what to do, so I thought about staying with Uncle Yutian for a while to see what I could do and think about what to do in the future."
"You just said that you wanted me to check the herbs for your mosquito repellent herbal package. I think the herbs sold by this herbal medicine store are all vetted. A herbal medicine store that has been open for many years would not dare to sell fake herbs and ruin its reputation. The herbs sold in the village may not be adulterated or damaged, but many people do not understand pharmacology, and if they are not properly dried and stored, they will easily lose their medicinal properties."
"I was thinking, why don't I go back to my hometown and become a doctor? On the one hand, I can help the surrounding villages to see patients. By seeing more patients, my skills can also improve. On the other hand, I can help you check the herbs you collect. After a long time, when my skills are improved, I will find a place to open a clinic or something."
"Brother Wencheng's plan is quite good." Zhuang Qingning saw that Zhuang Wencheng had a plan for him and his thoughts were very clear, so he nodded in approval. "But if I go back now, I'm afraid Brother Wencheng will have to say more."
If I went home before, Wang would ask me the reason, and if I go back now, she will still ask me the same question.
"I have been thinking about this for the past few days. If I can't do it, I can say that life is too hard and I really can't bear it, or I can say that the master's medical skills are not good enough. Although my mother is overbearing, she will obey me if I really want to be stubborn."
Zhuang Wencheng smiled and said, "I will go back in a few days, and I will talk to Uncle Yutian about this matter later."
"Yeah." Zhuang Qingning nodded and started chatting with Zhuang Wencheng about other things.
The two of them were childhood friends and now they talked everything out clearly. Feeling very relieved, they started chatting casually.
You tell me about the interesting things that happened to you in the past few days, and I tell you about the happy things that happened to me in the past few days, and both of us have smiles on our faces.
The curtain was gently lowered, and Mrs. Meng stood up straight with a smile on her face, "Don't mention it, Wencheng and Ning girl, they really get along well."
"More than getting along, they look like a good match." Zhuang Yutian lowered his voice, moved closer to Meng, and said with a smile, "You may not know that mother is very optimistic about Wencheng and Ning girl. She even mentioned this to me before."
"Ning and Wen are both good people. If these two can get together, it will be a closer relationship."
"That's what you said..." Mrs. Meng frowned as she looked at Zhuang Yutian's grinning face, "But we have to consider the two children's opinions on this matter."
"I have noticed Wencheng. I heard that he has been very kind to Ning girl since he was a child. Now his eyes are fixed on Ning girl and he won't move away. But Ning girl..."
"I always see that Miss Ning probably hasn't thought about this."
"Ah?" Zhuang Yutian was stunned.
"Besides, Miss Ning is very capable and has her own ideas. She may not be willing to stay in the village in the future. Wencheng is very good in our eyes, but after all, he is just a junior doctor. He may not be in Miss Ning's eyes."
"I'm not saying that Ning girl is snobbish, but the couple must be able to get along with each other, only then can they get along in the long run, just like the official who wants to take a concubine and pay attention to the beauty of the red sleeves and the ability to recite poems and compose couplets. Ning girl has a very broad vision, I'm afraid that ordinary people can't match her."
Zhuang Yutian listened to what Meng said and nodded thoughtfully, "What you said does make sense. Besides, although there are cases where the woman is stronger than the man, they are very rare. It's really hard to say."
"So, I am willing to watch this, but it may not go according to my wishes. Don't make a scene and make Ning feel upset."
Mrs. Meng said earnestly, "It's not easy for me to talk about this matter, otherwise it will seem like I'm doing something behind your back. If you have time, tell mother when the time comes. Don't be too hasty. If not, ask Ning girl what she thinks. If she has this intention, then everyone will be happy. If she doesn't have this intention, then if you keep talking about it, it will only annoy Ning girl."
"Although our business was doing well in the past, it was only because of Miss Ning that it became even better. We will still make money in the future. If we ignore Miss Ning's wishes and try to match her up, it will seem like we are greedy for money and want to kidnap her and bring her to our family so that we can make money from her in the future. Not only will outsiders talk about it, but Miss Ning will probably feel very uncomfortable."
"You're a man and you don't think about many things carefully, but you have to pay attention to this matter. You can't just ignore everything, or you'll end up ruining things."

"If you hadn't said it, I really wouldn't have thought so much..." Zhuang Yutian scratched the back of his head embarrassedly, "What you said makes a lot of sense. Next time I go back, I must talk to mother about this matter, so that mother won't think too much."
"As for what Ning girl is thinking, I, as an uncle, am afraid it is difficult to tell. As an aunt, you can say some things casually. How about asking Ning girl when you chat on weekdays to see what she is thinking?"
ah……
I was super busy during the day, and I worked non-stop on the manuscript when I got home at night. Then I suddenly realized that I didn’t seem to have updated anything today! ! ! !
