Chapter 497
Yunxi sighed: "If you don't become a doctor, being a matchmaker is also a way out."
"What are you saying!"
Just as Doctor Feng was about to continue, Yun Xi spoke up first: "Doctor Feng, please don't worry about me anymore. I have no interest in that."
Hearing her words, Doctor Feng sighed heavily: "Girl, you're still young. You can't spend the rest of your life alone, can you?"
Aren't you alone too?
“I’m not like that,” Doctor Feng said. “I have countless apprentices, and even after I’ve taught a new batch, there are always new ones. But what about you? These two girls can’t stay with you forever, can they? How will you live in the future?”
Yunxi pursed her lips, unable to speak.
The contracts of indenture between Jixiang and Le'an have already been burned. They are now staying by my side entirely of their own free will, and leaving is just a matter of a word.
Doctor Feng sighed: "So, you should think about your future."
Yunxi didn't say anything more, and it was unclear whether she had taken his words to heart.
The two walked along the path in silence.
Suddenly, a woman's crying came from the courtyard next door.
"Father! Please don't send your daughter away, I beg you, Father, please don't send your daughter away!"
"Let go of A-Ping! She's your own daughter! What's wrong with you, trying to kick her out! She's a young girl, where can she go if she leaves home! Are you trying to drive her to her death?!"
No sooner had the woman's sharp curses ended than a man's voice rang out: "What kind of girl is she! She has a sexually transmitted disease, keeping her in the house is a disgrace! We should kick her out as soon as possible and let her fend for herself, so as to save face for our family!"
"Father! Your daughter didn't—"
"ah!"
A woman was shoved out of the yard by a man and fell heavily to the ground, covered in dirt.
The next moment, the courtyard gate was slammed shut, and the sounds of the couple arguing continued to echo from inside the yard.
"Look at the good daughter you raised! She's not even married yet and she's already impure! Now what am I supposed to tell Old Zhou?!"
"What nonsense are you talking about! Ping hardly ever goes out, don't you know what she's like! How can you be so heartless! Open the door and let your daughter in!"
"I can't afford to lose face like that!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of a bolt being bolted rang out again.
The couple was arguing in the yard. The woman seemed to have been forcibly dragged into the house, and the noise gradually subsided.
Doctor Feng and Yunxi exchanged a glance. Yunxi stepped forward and carefully patted Aping's shoulder: "Miss, get up quickly."
Ping was shocked that her family's shameful secret had been seen so clearly by outsiders. She quickly raised her hand to wipe away her tears, but her hands were covered in dirt and tears, leaving several messy marks on her face.
Aping sobbed softly. Even though she tried her best to maintain a basic level of decorum in front of strangers, she was still just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl and couldn't hide her feelings. Tears were still falling down her face.
Doctor Feng stepped forward, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "Miss, I am a doctor. If it's convenient for you, you can come and sit in my clinic."
Upon hearing his voice, A-Ping subconsciously looked up, and her eyes widened the moment she saw Doctor Feng: "It's you!"
Doctor Feng was taken aback: "Young lady, do you know me?"
Ah Ping nodded repeatedly: "You're the great philanthropist who did the free clinic in the city before, right?"
These days, she always goes to the place where Dr. Feng is providing free medical consultations, and she secretly peeks at Dr. Feng from outside the door several times, but she has never gone in.
Doctor Feng softened his expression and said, "In that case, why don't you come with me to the clinic, young lady?"
Unexpectedly, the girl shook her head repeatedly and even took a few steps back, looking ashamed: "No, no need, my illness... is something I can't show to others."
