Zhao Shan: "Qiu Dayong, it's not that having the same surname means you're family. The county magistrate will send people down to check the household registration. I've said everything I need to say. You'd better do what you need to do. If you get taken away by the officials, don't blame me for not warning you."
He meant that he couldn't make the decision on this matter; he was just an implementer.
The sentence above has caused great suffering for ordinary people like them.
Qian wanted to continue her tantrum, but the surrounding villagers were all the same. This matter was an order issued by His Majesty, and everyone was to be treated equally.
Qiu Dayong turned pale with fright.
He searched high and low, piecing things together, but still couldn't scrape together five taels of silver.
Suddenly, a crisp creaking sound came from the doorway. It was Qiu Huihui, carrying a small basket, returning from the mountains.
“Village chief, please grant me a few more days, five days, just five days. I will definitely hand over the money after five days.”
"Sigh." Zhao Shan shook his head, feeling helpless as well.
At the same time, he was also very fortunate.
If it weren't for Qiu Yan's medicinal herb field, most people in the village wouldn't be able to afford this fee.
He has money and wants to save it for his sons' weddings.
"Five days won't do, that's too long. Tomorrow, I'll come back first thing tomorrow morning."
One day is already the longest time limit within Zhaoshan.
He left Qiu Dayong's house and went to the next one.
At the pharmaceutical factory, Qiu Yan diligently taught Xia Minrui about herbal medicine.
Beside her, Qiu Ling'er was also teaching Gu Xiaoran about pharmacology.
She noticed that her sister became very busy as soon as she returned, so she wanted to help her share the burden.
Cao Shi and Zhu Juan were also by Qiu Ling'er's side. They had also learned some pharmacology and were now diligently helping to package the pills.
Gu Xiaoran nodded and gave a perfunctory response, clearly just going through the motions, which always made Qiu Ling'er puff out her cheeks in exasperation.
"Gu Xiaoran, are you even listening to me?!"
Gu Xiaoran stared longingly in Qiu Yan's direction, "I don't want to learn."
Xia Minrui humbly sought knowledge and learned many medicine names in just one day.
Seeing his humility and eagerness to learn, Qiu Yan asked him, "Minrui, what do you want to be when you grow up?"
This child needs to be nurtured.
Xia Minrui smiled shyly. His family were all farmers. His father worked outside the village out of necessity to make a living. He had always toiled in the fields. He really didn't know what he wanted to do when he grew up.
He gazed at Qiu Yan's vast medicinal herb field.
"Farming." He knew nothing about anything except farm work.
Qiu Yan: "Don't tell me you want to become a landlord?"
Xia Minrui shook his head. Landlord? He wouldn't even dare to dream of it.
Land is so expensive, how could he afford to buy it?
Thinking of his mother, his eyes flickered. "Cousin, I want to learn acupuncture."
"You want to study medicine?" Qiu Yan was guiding the bewildered boy step by step.
Life always has a few turning points.
Without guidance, Xia Minrui will likely never achieve anything in his life.
"Yes, I want to study medicine." Besides his mother, another reason why Xia Minrui initially wanted to study medicine was to make money.
Qiu Yan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll teach you myself."
"Thank you, cousin." Xia Minrui said earnestly, her face filled with anticipation. "I definitely won't let you down."
"Xiaoyan, have you seen my great-uncle?" Zhao Qiufeng's voice broke their conversation.
Qiu Yan glanced at the spot where Old Man Zhao had just been sitting; he had been there just moments before. "No."
"Sigh, this grandfather of mine never lets us have a moment's peace."
After Zhao Qiufeng finished speaking, he turned around and went outside the factory to look for it.
