Father Su glanced at those people and knew perfectly well that if he didn't speak to them today, Ranran would be infamous in Su Family Village and even the town.
Su's father mentally prepared himself, imagining what kind of expression he should use to get into character. He put on a pained expression, sighed, and looked like he wanted to say something but couldn't.
This quickly attracted the attention of the villagers, and someone asked: "Su Lao Er, what are you doing? Is something wrong?"
I don't know whether I should say this or not, after all, it's a family matter, and my Ranran is furious about it.
They say, "Tell us what you want to say so everyone can hear and give you some advice," but actually, these people just want to hear gossip instead of giving advice.
Okay, I'll tell you what I'm going to do, and you can give me some advice, otherwise I don't know what to do either.
Yesterday, my daughter Ranran became Dr. Huang's apprentice, and the apprenticeship ceremony was also completed yesterday. During the ceremony, Dr. Huang told Ranran that he would only accept her as his disciple in his lifetime, and if he broke this promise, he would not have a good end. (Dr. Huang's original words were written on paper: "Huang Zhenhua has only one disciple in his life, Su Xingran." The following words were added on the spot by Su's father to foreshadow what he would say later.)
My daughter Ranran became an apprentice under Dr. Huang, and the process was notarized. Ranran performed the three kneelings and nine kowtows of the apprenticeship ceremony, knelt down to offer tea, and after Dr. Huang accepted and drank it, Ranran formally called Dr. Huang her master.
To make the apprenticeship ceremony more formal, Dr. Huang specially invited the village chief, brigade leader, commune secretary, town mayor, and police captain to be witnesses. Therefore, my daughter Ranran and Dr. Huang are indeed master and apprentice in name and in fact.
Today, my parents and my older brother and sister-in-law came to visit. As soon as they entered, my mother started scolding Huilan with all sorts of nasty insults. She even tried to hit her, but luckily Huilan managed to dodge.
My daughter Ranran felt sorry for her mother, who was scolded and almost beaten for no reason, so she said a few words of justice. As a result, my mother tried to hit Ranran. Who would stand by and let others hit them? Ranran was startled and turned to the side. My mother used too much force and couldn't stop, so she fell to the ground.
Ranran fell and hit her lip, causing it to bleed. She even took the medicine powder that Dr. Huang had given her to stop the bleeding and gave it to her grandma. That's how my Ranran is; one second she's almost getting hit, and the next she's concerned about her grandma.
My dad said he needed my help with something, and I wondered what kind of help it was and if I could help. In the end, my dad told me and Ranran to go and talk to Doctor Huang about taking my older brother's daughter, Wenli, as his apprentice.
Ranran told her grandfather that Doctor Huang swore he would only take one apprentice in his lifetime, as I mentioned before.
As it turned out, her grandfather told her that Dr. Huang only accepted one apprentice. He asked Ranran to give her spot to her older brother's daughter, Wenli, but Ranran refused.
My dad started scolding Ranran, so much so that I was too embarrassed to say it out loud. You know, Dr. Huang took Ranran as an apprentice because he thought she was down-to-earth, quick to learn, and hardworking.
Who wouldn't want to learn medicine from Dr. Huang? When my daughter Ranran found out that Dr. Huang wanted to take her on as an apprentice, she was so excited that she couldn't sleep at night.
Besides, if Dr. Huang wanted to take in my older brother's daughter, Wenli, he would have gone directly to my older brother to find Wenli. Why would he come looking for my daughter, Ranran?
