Chapter 290 Kindness
"It just so happens that I also said that the shop is busy and we have to leave early today, so let's go out early. If we are too late, I am afraid it will be too hot."
After hearing what Zhuang Yutian said, Zhuang Qingning packed up a little and followed Zhuang Yutian to the county town with Zhuang Qingsui.
All the way to Zhuang Yutian's cloth shop, Meng and Zhuang Wencheng saw the carriage coming back and hurried out to greet it and help move things. When they saw Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Qingsui, they were overjoyed.
"Ning girl is here." Mrs. Meng pulled her to the backyard warmly, "You must be hot after driving all the way, come and cool down."
As he spoke, he called Zhuang Wencheng to cut the watermelon and bring over the herbal tea.
Zhuang Wencheng was also quite surprised that Zhuang Qingning suddenly came to the county town, and hurriedly went to get melons and serve tea as ordered by Meng. However, when he thought about how he was at the cloth shop and how to explain it to Zhuang Qingning later, he hesitated and did not dare to move forward.
After thinking for a long time, he went to find Zhuang Yutian to ask him whether Zhuang Qingning knew that he was not working in the pharmacy.
But before he could open his mouth, Zhuang Yutian called out to Meng, "I'm too busy in the front, come over and give me a hand."
"By the way, Miss Sui, a few days ago someone came here to ask the tailor to make a summer dress, but it turned out to be too small, so the goods could not be delivered. The dress has been placed in the shop. I see that you can wear it, so why don't you come over and try it on?"
New clothes? Zhuang Qingsui was a child at heart. Hearing about the new clothes, he was immediately overjoyed, but he still looked at Zhuang Qingning.
"Go." Zhuang Qingning smiled and patted her little head.
Zhuang Qingsui happily followed Zhuang Yutian.
When Meng heard Zhuang Yutian calling her and specifically asking Zhuang Qingsui to look at some clothes, she immediately understood his intention and responded with a smile, "Ning girl, take a rest for a while, I'll be back soon."
"Aunt is busy first."
"Wencheng, please help me entertain Ning girl first. You two grew up together. It's been a while since we last met, so it's a good opportunity to catch up."
When he went to the front, he gave specific instructions to Zhuang Wencheng.
Zhuang Wencheng, who was panicking, responded quickly and brought watermelon and herbal tea over, "Sister Ning, try this watermelon, it's quite sweet."
"Thank you, Brother Wencheng." Zhuang Qingning grinned.
I don’t know if it’s because I haven’t seen Zhuang Qingning for a while and I missed her very much, but Zhuang Wencheng just felt that Zhuang Qingning was more beautiful than before. Now seeing her smiling, his face suddenly turned red to his ears, and he didn’t know where to put his hands.
"Brother Wencheng, I heard from Uncle Yutian that you are no longer in the pharmacy?"
Zhuang Qingning asked, and her voice sounded like a cool breeze on a hot July day, rustling the willow trees by the river, pleasant to the ears.
Zhuang Wencheng calmed down a bit, the blush on his face faded a little, and he nodded, "Well, after thinking about it, I feel that I can't learn anything from studying medicine, so I thought about quitting there and learning business from Uncle Yutian, and then starting a small business in the future."
Still the same excuse.
Zhuang Qingning pursed her lips and said, "Brother Wencheng, I'm sorry. I accidentally implicated you with the mosquito repellent herbal bag..."
Zhuang Wencheng was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhuang Qingning, and when he saw her clear eyes, he sighed in his heart.
As expected, everyone knows it.
"Not really..." Zhuang Wencheng scratched his ear. "Master was quite critical of me during that period. I could see that. I realized it myself. It was only a matter of time."
"As for the mosquito repellent herbal bags, the ones sold in the pharmacy are made by my master himself, and they are not as good as those sold by my uncle. I am an apprentice, how can I make a better herbal bag? But my master just found an excuse, so when I left, I didn't even explain it to him..."
"Actually, Sister Ning, I might as well tell you the truth. Before this happened, I was also thinking about whether I should stay in the pharmacy in the future."
"As you can see, there are two apprentices in this medicine shop, me and Brother Huzi. The master has no children, so if he wants to pass on this skill in the future, it will only be passed on to one person, definitely not two people. Brother Huzi has been there the longest. Although the master always says that Brother Huzi lacks talent, he still teaches him carefully. As for me, the master also took a fancy to me in the past, saying that I have a good mind or something like that, so neither of us knows who the master will pass on his medical skills to in the future."
"The last time the herbs were swapped, that's what you heard last time. Actually, I thought about it later. Master would never do such a thing, and I didn't do it. The only one who could swap the herbs was Brother Huzi. After I figured it out, I found that Brother Huzi sometimes said some bad things about me to Master. Master's impression of me is getting worse and worse. I think Brother Huzi has some credit for that."
"I saw this matter clearly and thought it through. I even thought about arguing with Master and Brother Huzi, but then I thought, Master believed Brother Huzi and didn't believe me because Master was willing to believe him and not me. Even if I argued again, I'm afraid it would be useless and would only add to my troubles."
"And... I heard that Brother Huzi's parents died young, and he grew up with his aunt. He had a very difficult life. Now, because of his aunt's illness and his uncle's departure, the family is in a very difficult situation. Brother Huzi swapped the herbs, probably to get some money, and he said bad things about me everywhere, probably because he thought that after I was kicked out, he would be able to learn the true teachings of the master. Brother Huzi is a poor man. I can do something else after leaving the medicine shop, and my family doesn't expect me to achieve anything, but Brother Huzi is different. This is all his hope, so I..."
Helped Han Hu.
After hearing this, Zhuang Qingning clenched his fingers in his sleeves.
As expected, her childhood friend is a kind-hearted person.
Originally, I thought Zhuang Wencheng was just too kind and forgot to be on guard against some things. Now it seems that he understands everything and sees everything clearly, but he just doesn't want to pursue it.
Seeing Zhuang Qingning looking at him, Zhuang Wencheng smiled a little embarrassedly, "I didn't tell my uncle about this. With his temper, if he knew about this, I'm afraid he wouldn't let it go easily. I just said that I didn't want to do it anymore."
"But now you realize that my hiding it might not be a good thing. This county is not big, but there are many people gossiping. I guess my uncle has heard something. Sister Ning, you suddenly came to the county today. I guess you think your affairs have affected me, so you feel bad. If you think so, I guess my uncle must think so too. It seems that I have to talk to my uncle later to prevent him from feeling bad."
I've been super super busy at work lately, with all the new projects and contracts piling up here...
