Chapter 129 Closing the Door
Erya had the words stuck in her throat, but she didn't say them in the end. She just silently withdrew her gaze and stood there.
"good."
Feng Lan's face looked grim, but she couldn't say anything irritating when looking at her face, so she finally chose to give up.
"Okay, go back and rest. I'll help you find it starting tomorrow."
She didn't believe that she couldn't do anything with money in her hands. She would do what she said and go out to look for it as soon as the sun rose.
She went to the largest pharmacy, where the doctor was sitting and taking her pulse, with a faint smile on his face.
"Do you have any problem? Let me take a look at you." He said, raising his hand high.
Hearing this, Feng Lan's mouth twitched, a faint smile appeared in her eyes, and she spoke softly.
"I didn't have any questions at the time. I just wanted to ask if you were accepting apprentices. I could pay some money to learn."
She smiled in a very kind manner and didn't seem to be aggressive. The doctor's hand moved slightly and he spoke.
"I do accept it, but I only accept boys. I don't want someone your age."
There was almost a look of disdain in his eyes, and Shu's tone was particularly firm as he slowly shook his head.
The corners of Feng Lan's mouth twitched slightly, a faint light flashed in her eyes, and then she spoke.
"I definitely won't learn it. Why should I learn these things at my age?"
Although she didn't look particularly rich, at least she was more comfortable than those who worked hard in the fields.
The doctor's expression relaxed slightly, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and then he opened his mouth and said another sentence.
"As long as you don't have to learn it, it's fine. If you want to learn it, tell your son to come to me tomorrow and I'll see if he has the talent."
He has a lot of work to do here, so many people come to line up. He really needs to take in apprentices, and you really can't become an apprentice without some money.
When Feng Lan heard this, a hint of helplessness appeared on her face, and then she spoke.
"No, we don't have a boy here. How about a girl? She's very smart and well-behaved. You can use her however you want."
What she said sounded very nice, but when the doctor heard it, his face suddenly fell.
"Forget it, our family doesn't need it. How can we pass on the craft of making dolls for girls? No, no, no."
He waved his hand, as if he didn't want to communicate anymore. The medicine boy quickly took a step forward and whispered something.
"Madam, please stop pestering me and go back quickly."
Feng Lan wanted to say something more, but she felt embarrassed when she met their gazes. Besides, she just curled her lips, said a few words and left.
"Think about it. You need help here anyway, so why not send my child over? We can easily discuss the money."
She thought that as long as they were willing to pay, there would be plenty of such people. Now it seems that she was too naive. It might be really rare.
Feng Lan went to many places, but was rejected every time she went there. Basically, no one was willing to accept Erya.
She became very depressed when she thought of this, her face looked a little ugly, and she let out a long breath.
"This is not an easy problem for you, but I will find a way for you." Feng Lan took a sip of water and then put down the bowl in her hand.
Hearing this, Erya's heart was moved, and her face showed a hint of calmness, as if she had known this would happen.
"Mom, don't worry about this. I already have a plan in mind. I've been there before, but they didn't want me."
That was why she coaxed the old man so persistently, hoping that he would teach her more knowledge.
When Feng Lan thought of the old man's attitude before, she felt very angry. She was still not satisfied and couldn't help but say something.
"I just don't believe it. There must be other ways. How can I really let you go back to that old man? There's no way I'll agree to that."
Running around to do laundry and cook for others and still getting scolded, this old man's life is simply too comfortable.
Upon hearing this, all the words Erya wanted to say were stuck in her mouth. She didn't know how to respond for a moment, and finally just nodded.
"Okay, I know."
She stood there silently, looking at the things in her hands but she was not very calm. She always felt as if this matter would not go so smoothly.
Feng Lan left quickly after finishing her meal. She went to many houses but basically none of them worked. Some of them were unwilling to even help out.
"You're already busy here, and I don't want your salary. I'm paying out of my own pocket. Don't you want to take in a girl?"
She knew that life was harder for women in this world, but she hadn't imagined it would be so difficult that she couldn't even get through one path.
The shopkeeper standing at the door twitched his lips slightly when he heard this, and then he started cursing.
"You don't even consider it yourself. Think about it, how could anyone possibly take in a girl?"
Putting aside other things, the fact that there hasn’t been a single woman in the entire pharmacy shows that they don’t want her at all.
"You should just stay at home and take care of your husband and children. Why are you showing up in public? You're so obsessed with money that you don't even want to let your own daughter go."
All the words Feng Lan wanted to say were stuck in her mouth. She didn't know how to respond for a moment and let out a sigh.
"You can't say that. After all, she's my woman. I didn't say I was thinking about making money. I even give you money."
These can be said to be their signature skills, which they will never teach easily. They will only pass them on to their descendants. Even if they pass them on to others, they have to find someone they trust.
"You can ask somewhere else. We don't need it here, so go wherever you want." The shopkeeper said impatiently.
Hearing this, Feng Lan couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion in her heart. She frowned slightly and let out a long breath.
"Wait until you've thought it through before you tell me. I may not even come to you in the future!"
She was furious, but there was nothing she could do. Finally, she let out a sigh of relief, looking somewhat helpless.
When the shopkeeper heard this, he didn't want to pay any more attention to it. He slammed the door shut, deliberately not wanting to communicate anymore. His movements were very quick.
