Yes...why?
Shu Jiaying knew that if she admitted that she was an illiterate who couldn't even recognize a word, then when she started her herbal medicine business in the future, not only would the Shu family be suspicious of her identity, but the people in this village would also treat her as if she were possessed by a ghost, right?
So she needs to think about it carefully.
After giving Village Chief Xu a serious look, Shu Jiaying asked in a mysterious tone, "Uncle Xu, do you believe in dreams?"
"Dream? Dreams are fake, how can we take them seriously?"
Seeing the disdain in Village Chief Xu's eyes, Shu Jiaying couldn't help but cry out in her heart: Oh my God, I actually met an atheist, this is a bit difficult.
But on the surface, she still maintained her mystery.
She carefully took out a handwritten book titled "Herbal Notes" from her bosom. This was something Shu Jiaying accidentally found at the bottom of her broken box. It recorded some commonly used pharmacological knowledge, and next to each herb, the author also briefly described the general appearance of the herb.
Shu Jiaying flipped through a page with pictures and a brief introduction and handed it to the village chief Xu. She introduced it seriously, "Uncle Xu, do you see what's in here? These are all things my mother taught me word for word in my dreams. Just like the cornus officinalis you see now, this herb can often be seen in the mountains. It can clear away heat and detoxify, and it can also strengthen the spleen and eliminate dampness. It is usually used to treat colds, fevers, diarrhea, and dysentery. It can also treat infectious hepatitis and other diseases, and its therapeutic effect is very obvious.
And this, Uncle Xu, take a look at this..."
When talking about herbal knowledge, Shu Jiaying immediately exuded an indescribable brilliance. Her inherent confidence had to impress Village Chief Xu.
Filled with emotion, Xu Li sighed deeply and said with emotion, "It was Madam Shu who appeared in spirit. Madam Shu must have been unable to bear her daughter being bullied in the human world, so she taught you a skill in the dream.
Jiaying, quickly bow three times in the direction of your mother's grave. It was your mother who taught you another survival skill. Perhaps with this skill, you will be able to support yourself in the future."
Shu Jiaying understood what Village Chief Xu meant. It seemed that he also wanted her to become self-reliant.
Relying on memory, she bowed three times towards her mother's grave. Then, pretending not to understand, Shu Jiaying asked, "Jiaying is ignorant. I don't know what exactly you mean, Uncle Xu?"
Village Chief Xu immediately told Shu Jiaying about the sudden idea that had come to his mind.
"Jiaying, before, no one mentioned your marriage because of your appearance. But you are already past the age of marriage. Although your father doesn't have this idea, Uncle Xu is the head of Guangming Village and is also your elder. I believe my words still carry a certain weight, so I took the initiative to help you find a marriage. The other party's conditions may not be that good, but they have good character.
If you agree to this marriage, with your knowledge of medicine, you two will surely live a better life in the future."
After hearing the blueprint that Village Chief Xu drew for her, Shu Jiaying almost vomited blood. She originally thought that Village Chief Xu would give her a good plan to sever ties with the Shu family, but who knew that he wanted to act as a matchmaker for her to get married and stay away from the Shu family.
But how is this possible?
