Yu Jiao was confused after hearing this. She tried hard to recall the memory of Meng Yujiao about Guan Rou in her mind, but it was all blurry and she couldn't remember anything.
Maybe her soul has completely adapted to this body, and the original imprint of this body has become increasingly faint.
Liu Sanniang's words clearly meant that Meng Yujiao had learned medical skills from someone in the past, and that she was naturally capable of medical skills.
I just don't know why he kept the medical consultation a secret.
"I don't remember much about Huairou. I have been wondering why my father didn't allow me to practice medicine. Since I know medicine, why can't I make money from it?" Yu Jiao asked tentatively.
Liu Sanniang was stumped by the question. When Qingyun was still alive, Yu Jiao always listened to him and never asked about these questions.
Liu Sanniang tightened her grip on the quilt and was silent for a while before she said, "The master who taught you medicine was not a good person at all. Most of the medical skills he taught you are harmful. Your father saw him kill someone! How can you save people with the medical skills he taught you? He accepted you as his apprentice with bad intentions. Your father brought us back to Mengjia Village from Huairou just to get rid of that man. In short, you are not allowed to practice medicine."
Liu Sanniang couldn't tell Yu Jiao the real reason, so she could only make up these words to deal with Yu Jiao.
"I have forgotten all my previous medical skills. The skills I use now were taught by Grandpa Yu. I will not harm anyone." Yu Jiao knew that Liu Sanniang was not telling the truth. She became curious. She thought that the Meng family was just an ordinary poor family in the countryside, but there seemed to be some unspeakable secret behind them.
Liu Sanniang said firmly, "That won't work either. Your father loved you so much. Now that he's gone, you won't listen to him?"
Yu Jiao said slowly, "I'm already married, I have the ability to distinguish right from wrong, I can make my own decisions about my own affairs. Dad has passed away, I can't live my life completely according to his words."
In the past, whenever Liu Sanniang brought up Meng Qingyun, Yu Jiao would obey her. She used to be gentle and docile, and seldom disobeyed her. Even when she was wanted to be sold to the Yu family for a happy occasion, she obeyed.
But during the few times Yu Jiao went home, Liu Sanniang could clearly feel that she had changed a lot.
"Why not? Your father is doing this for your own good. His greatest wish is that you can live in peace..."
Before Liu Sanniang finished her words, Yu Qizhe's voice came from outside, "I've bought the medicine for my mother-in-law."
Yu Jiao didn't want to end up in a quarrel with Liu Sanniang like last time, so she stood up and said, "I'll go boil some medicine for you."
Yu Qizhe followed Yu Jiao to the kitchen and asked with concern, "Did you quarrel with your mother-in-law again?"
Yu Jiao shook her head. She didn't know what Liu Sanniang was hiding, and she didn't want to tell Yu Qizhe more.
After washing a clay pot and placing it on the stove, Yu Jiao poured the medicine into the pot and went under the stove to light a fire.
Thinking that Liu Sanniang was sick, Fei Ge'er, a child, didn't even know if there was food in his mouth, so he asked Yu Qizhe to help watch the fire under the stove, and Yu Jiao started searching in the kitchen.
Finding half a small bag of mixed noodles at the bottom of the cupboard, Yu Jiao scooped out some with a ladle, mixed it with water, and planned to roll some noodles and cook a meal for the two of them.
Not seeing the eggs, Yu Jiao went to the corner of the yard to pick a bunch of vegetables.
After rolling out the noodles, Liu Sanniang's medicine was already boiled. She poured the medicine into a bowl and handed it to Liu Sanniang.
After helping Liu Sanniang to take the medicine, Yu Jiao returned to the kitchen, cooked a pot of vegetable noodles, called Fei Ge'er to eat, and then served a bowl to Liu Sanniang and brought it to the bed.
"I will come to pick you and Fei Ge'er up and take you to the city tomorrow." Yu Jiao said as she watched Liu Sanniang eating noodles.
"So soon?" Liu Sanniang thought that Yu Jiao just came to mention it today, and they, mother and son, would move out after some time.
Yu Jiao nodded. "There may be a heavy rain in a few days. This house has been in disrepair for a long time and it is not safe to live in. If you move in earlier, I will feel at ease."
She looked around and said, "There's nothing valuable in the house, so it shouldn't be hard to clean up. I'll tidy up the yard over there by the bed and cabinets, and you only need to take away the important things."
Liu Sanniang nodded. There was indeed nothing to pack. The family was extremely poor and the only things they needed to take away were the silver given by Yu Jiao and the little remaining food.
"Once we get to the city, don't support me and Fei Ge'er anymore. I will go out and find a job so that I can support Fei Ge'er." Liu Sanniang didn't want to owe Yu Jiao too much. When she sold her, she wanted to become a stranger to Yu Jiao and completely cut off all ties with her.
This way it’s clean, saves time and effort.
Meng Qingyun could sacrifice her daughter's life for Yu Jiao and treat Yu Jiao as her own daughter, but Liu Sanniang couldn't do it. It was a very cruel thing for anyone to have their own flesh and blood that they had carried for ten months be used to save someone else's life, and to have to watch the person who sacrificed her daughter's life to keep him alive walk around in front of them every day.
Even though they have been mother and daughter for many years, Liu Sanniang still can't help but feel resentment in her heart.
But now things went against her wishes. She had accepted Yu Jiao's money again and again, and she was more deeply involved. Liu Sanniang was unwilling to do so, but poverty made her ambitions small. She had to raise Fei Ge'er well, as he was the only bloodline left in this world by her and Qingyun.
