Chapter 42 Not Afraid of Hurting the Older Father's Heart
However, this world is very unfair to women. If her daughter wants to do great things, she needs someone to guide her, and that person is Doctor Yang.
“That’s right, my sister’s medical skills are no worse than Dr. Yang’s. Dad, you don’t need to worry about such useless things. Haven’t you seen how well my sister has performed these past few days?” Lin Wenqian couldn’t stand Lin Dayou’s words any longer.
Even when someone speaks up for her, she's too lazy to even open her mouth and lecture Lin Dayou with those grand principles.
"You, you, sigh, I'm only doing this for Da Ya's own good!" Lin Da You saw that everyone was standing against him, and at that moment, he couldn't say anything more.
Upon hearing Lin Dayou's words, everyone remained silent and went about their own business.
"Second sister, I'd better go up the mountain with you!" Lin Wenqian saw Lin Luoxi carrying a basket and a small hoe, so he quickly slung his basket over his shoulder and followed her.
"Hey, do you guys want to come along too...?"
Seeing that Lin Luoxi and Lin Wenqian had gone out, Lin Dayou chased after them and called out.
"Dad, your biggest responsibility is to take good care of the family at home." Lin Wenqian quickly called out to the back after hearing Lin Dayou's words.
"You're so direct. Aren't you afraid of hurting his old father's feelings?" Lin Luoxi wanted to laugh when she heard Lin Wenqian's words.
"It's nothing, Father's mental resilience is frighteningly strong," Lin Wenqian said nonchalantly.
After all, he survived the oppression of those vampire relatives in the Lin family, so his little tricks of Yin and Yang are nothing to him.
"Since everything's alright, let's hurry up the mountain!" Tomorrow is the apprenticeship ceremony, so she wants to dig up some herbs to sell and earn some money.
"Okay, let's hurry up, or we won't have enough time." Lin Wenqian knew what Lin Luoxi wanted to do, so he quickened his pace and headed into the mountains.
...
"Grandpa, why did you insist on taking that silly girl as your apprentice?" On the way back, Yang Xiaofeng couldn't help but ask, dissatisfied.
"Heh, if you were as skilled as her, I wouldn't need to take outsiders as apprentices, would I?" Doctor Yang glared at his grandson, who wasn't particularly talented but was quite filial.
“Grandpa, we were talking about your taking on apprentices, why are you attacking me personally again?” Yang Xiaofeng always gets a headache whenever his grandfather brings up his talent.
"Alright, let's stick to the facts. Let me tell you, the medical skills you've learned are probably not as good as that girl's."
Since she's so skilled in medicine, why would I let a genius slip away right under my nose? I'm not stupid..." He rolled his eyes at his headstrong grandson again.
"Grandpa, I don't believe her medical skills are that great. After all, she only learned them in her dreams." Yang Xiaofeng still looked down on Lin Luoxi's medical talent.
"Hehe, child, I don't know whether to call you naive or stupid. That girl was stupid for more than ten years, and suddenly she's not stupid anymore and can even do medicine. She must have been guided by a god..."
"Being on good terms with her will only benefit our family, not harm it." He had been in the palace for so long; he had seen it all.
Lin Dayou's daughter is destined for greatness; the best they can do now is to forge a bond with his family so they can definitely turn their lives around.
In addition, Lin Luoxi mentioned the medicinal properties of some of the herbs, some of which he had never even heard of before. This shows that her medical skills will definitely surpass his in the future.
Such a promising talent, if we don't seize the opportunity now and someone else snatches him up, it will be too late for him to regret it.
"As for your disapproval of her talent, you two will be able to witness her abilities once you study together in the future."
Seeing that his eldest grandson still looked unconvinced, Dr. Yang didn't say anything more and slowly headed home.
Lin Luoxi and Lin Wenqian went up the mountain today to dig for medicinal herbs and, incidentally, go hunting.
The surrounding mountains had been trampled flat by the villagers, so there were no herbs or wild game to be found. Therefore, Lin Luoxi and Lin Wenqian had no choice but to venture deeper into the mountains.
"Second sister, aren't those medicinal herbs outside the ones we dug up yesterday? Don't we need to dig them up again today?" Lin Wenqian asked, puzzled as he saw many of the herbs he had just learned about yesterday, wondering why Lin Luoxi wasn't digging them up.
"Big brother, I'm planning to take a risk today, are you brave enough to risk it all?" Lin Luoxi stopped and looked at Lin Wenqian seriously.
"What did you say?" Lin Wenqian saw the seriousness in Lin Luoxi's eyes and suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Big brother, if you're scared, just wait for me outside. I can manage on my own." Lin Luoxi really couldn't wait any longer.
She's been here for three days, and for all three days she's been eating those barely edible grains of rice and drinking only some soup. She's so hungry she's practically ready to eat someone.
"No, I want to go in with you." Seeing that Lin Luoxi was serious, Lin Wenqian finally believed that Lin Luoxi was not joking and nodded.
"Let's go then!" Lin Luoxi didn't say anything else and stepped inside.
It would be more convenient for her to go into the mountains alone, but if Lin Wenqian really wanted to go in with her, she could guarantee that she would be able to escape unscathed if any danger arose.
"Big brother, look, these are all motherwort, which is good for women's menstrual flow. Let's dig up this whole patch and take it back!" It was rare to see so much motherwort, and Lin Luoxi couldn't help but be tempted.
Lin Luoxi didn't intend to sell all that motherwort; she planned to boil it into a paste for herself and Lin Wangshi to take.
She's already fifteen years old, and should have started menstruating by now, but because she's so malnourished, she hasn't started menstruating yet.
"Second sister, you should say such things less often in the future." Lin Wenqian's face turned red instantly when he heard Lin Luoxi say the words "Gui Shui".
In this feudal era, if a woman were to speak so loudly about her private matters, she would probably be drowned in spittle.
"Brother, why can't I say it? Is it really so embarrassing for you women to talk about our menstrual blood? You were born from our bellies, after all."
"Brother, you say that we women can't talk about our menstrual period because you think it's unlucky, then why do you still marry women to carry on your family line? Tch, you're all hypocrites who are two-faced."
"A woman's menstrual period is an uncomfortable time, requiring your careful care. Yet you men consider it unlucky, which is unfair to women, do you understand?"
"Furthermore, I don't care what others say. I'll walk my own path and do whatever I want."
"Brother, you'll find that when you reach a certain level, even if what you do is wrong, others will say you're right."
"So, if you don't want others to talk about you, work hard and become stronger." Upon hearing Lin Wenqian's words, Lin Luoxi immediately bristled and launched into a tirade.
At this moment, Lin Wenqian's head was almost drooping to the ground from Lin Luoxi's words.
