Chapter 127 I Want to Become a Disciple

Yin Ning didn't stay at his cousin's house for long before going back.

The house was quiet, and my mother was not at home. However, there were words written by my mother on the door panel.

My mother went to wash clothes.

It was still early for dinner, so she put the abalone and the fish she had caught in the sea in the kitchen and then went on to embroider her fan.

Not long after, A Niang came back after washing clothes, but she was too idle, so she went up the mountain again after hanging the clothes.

He hadn't come back by the time dad came home.

"A Ning, where is your mother?"

"My mother went to the mountain to get firewood. She said she would also pick some herbs. She should be back soon."

"oh……"

Yin Huaishan sounded a little disappointed, and he went back to his room silently with his hands behind his back.

After he annoyed his wife, she went to sleep with her daughter next door. It has been two days, and she doesn't talk much when she sees him.

I can't say I'm cold, I just don't take the initiative to talk to him. We can occasionally talk to each other when we're having dinner or something.

Yes, just one or two sentences.

What couple only speaks one or two sentences a day?

Yin Huaishan felt very upset, but he couldn't blame his wife for this. He was the one who did the wrong thing first.

Recently he has been teaching the children in the village to read and write. After teaching for a few days he has discovered a few promising students.

A good student who can study is a real treasure to a teacher.

Although I have lost my fame now, if the students I taught can achieve something, then the rest of my life will not be wasted.

So whenever he had free time, he thought about how to teach those children, and many times he was distracted when his wife was talking to him.

then……

When talking about her daughter's birthday, she finally got angry, turned around and went to sleep in her daughter's room, and the happy couple's life was gone in an instant.

well……

Yin Huaishan knew that he was wrong, but he took the initiative to talk to his wife, but he still felt that it was not okay, and she had no intention of going back to her room to sleep.

It means she has not forgiven herself.

I really don’t know what to do now.

"Aning, when you sleep with your mother at night, do you talk to her?"

Yin Ning, who was embroidering the fan with her head down, smiled secretly.

"Dad, do you want to ask if Mom said anything to you?"

"cough……"

Yin Huaishan coughed awkwardly.

Although talking about the conflict between him and his wife in front of his daughter would affect his image as a father, he had no choice because he needed his daughter's help.

"Did your mother say anything?"

Yin Ning shook his head.

"My mother is very tired during the day and often falls asleep soon after lying down at night."

Yin Huaishan felt inexplicably disappointed.

Every day, his wife was busy buying and selling snail meat, collecting firewood and washing clothes. Because her daughter couldn't hurt her hands while embroidering, she even cooked for her.

I just teach in class every day and can't help much when I get home. I also don't listen to her. No wonder she is angry.

"Then how can you calm your mother down?"

"Well... I do have a way to calm down Mom, but my method is not suitable for you, Dad..."

Yin Huaishan's eyes lit up, and he immediately urged, "If you have nothing to say, come and tell me first. Maybe we can give it a try."

"It's very simple. Just hug your mother, snuggle into her arms, and act coquettishly."

Although Yin Ning usually looks obedient and steady, in private she is also a little girl who acts like a coquettish girl like A Niang, but she doesn't act coquettishly often.

When Yin Huaishan heard this idea, he imagined himself making this gesture and his ears immediately turned red.

He can't do that, it's too disrespectful.

"Your method is really, really not suitable for me. Forget it, I'll think of another way. Aning, you have to help me put in some good words in front of your mother."

Yin Ning nodded obediently. Of course, she would help her parents reconcile. But how should I put it? Sometimes when she saw her mother ignoring her father, she was actually quite happy in her heart. She felt that it was very interesting when the two of them were quarreling.

Dad looks so cute when he looks aggrieved.

Compared to his parents who used to treat each other with respect in Kyoto, Yin Ning prefers his parents like this now, who can laugh and make noises, and are particularly comfortable to get along with.

In fact, this is how a family should get along with each other.

In ancient times, such harmonious family relationships were only a minority, and most were tense, stressful, and cold.

Jiang Wan felt that she was simply too lucky.

Although there is a bad father in both modern and ancient times, the father in modern times has long been dumped by her mother, and she has been loved by her grandmother and mother since she was a child. In ancient times, the bad father was also very far away, and she had her uncle's family nearby to rely on.

It's really good.

Moreover, she and her mother have independent household registration, their own property and their own cooking skills. Every day when they go out, there is the sea, and the seafood is extremely cheap, so they live a happy life.

By the way, today she also hired two little girls to help her light the fire, so she won’t have to suffer in the kitchen anymore.

These two little girls are from the same family. They don’t have any real names, just Da Ya and Er Ya.

The eldest is ten years old this year, and the second is eight years old this year. It seems that their father also had an accident while fishing, and there are two elderly people at home to take care of. Everything depends on their mother.

This family is one of the poorest in the village.

Jiang Wan paid the two little maids ten cents a day and asked them to take turns to make a fire in the stove room.

She felt that this little money was worth it as it allowed her to escape from the stove room. Daya's family was also very surprised by the salary.

They can now sell oyster meat for 60 cents a day, plus the 20 cents from their two children, so their monthly income is very, very considerable.

The money earned in one month can pay off all the family’s foreign debts!

Dayaniang was so grateful in her heart that she almost wanted to make a longevity tablet for Jiang Wanwan and her daughter.

Recently, I have been sewing shoe soles whenever I have free time, hoping to make a pair of good shoes for Jiang Wan and her daughter.

Jiang Wan didn't want to help anyone in particular, it was just a matter of liking them. As soon as she saw Daya and Erya, she felt that these two kids had good eyes and were capable of working hard.

Now that she had someone to take care of the fire, she began to look for a pharmacy assistant for A Niang.

The person must be of a certain age, because a pharmacy is a place where patients are treated. If the person is too young, he may not be stable enough and may make mistakes easily.

It will be troublesome if you get the wrong medicine or prepare the wrong prescription.

The age should not be too old, because older girls usually have to get married. You can't just get started with him and then get married. That would be too uncomfortable.

Yes, Jiang Wan was only considering girls.

The young men in the village were in school, and the older ones were on the boats. They had more options than the girls, so they didn't need this opportunity.

But it’s too much trouble to search one by one, so let them sign up if they are interested.

Jiang Wan listed the age and various requirements as standards, and she would tell every villager who came to deliver oyster meat to her and let the villagers help her spread the word.

In less than half a day, everyone in the village knew that Yin Huaixi was going to take in two little apprentices.

"I heard that Doctor Yin only accepts girls as his disciples. I am really tempted, but my daughter is already engaged, so I can't go..."

"Alas... who wouldn't be tempted? Unfortunately, I only have a son."

Li Anan, who was climbing on the tree, was so excited when he heard this.

Isn't this what it means, God, God helps her!

She is going to become a disciple now!!
