Liu Yumin thought for a moment and said, "Then you should only enlighten her with knowledge, but not with how to conduct herself in society."
Zhu Mingyue was originally inspired by him, which is why she was so unruly. She would climb trees on mountains, fish in rivers, and beat up little boys. She was never afraid of anyone. She would not even tell her parents when she was beaten. She would seize the opportunity to beat people up. If one beating was not enough, she would beat them up twice. She would not stop until she had vented her anger. She would not listen to anything anyone said. And she was inspired by her master.
The dean felt a little guilty. He thought that Zhu Mingyue was a talented girl and that his talent should not be wasted. He thought that since she was so physically strong, she should fight first to build a foundation. Who knew that she would become so self-taught and defeat all the children in the neighborhood, becoming the king of the kids.
However, they didn't consider that a child's temperament is also partly hereditary. Back then, Yumin beat up every single child in the alley. Anyone who dared to complain would be beaten even harder until they were too scared to complain. When the adults had no other choice, they would use her name to scare disobedient children. She was incredibly effective at scaring them. She was so fearsome that even ghosts would be afraid of her.
Thinking about all this, the dean always felt that he was taking the blame for her: "Why can't I teach? Don't forget that I taught you how to conduct yourself. Zhu Mingyue is like a crooked beam, and you—Zhu Jiabao—have a reckless temper."
Anyway, neither of them are easy to mess with. Back when they were fighting, it was Zhu Jiabao who came up with the worst ideas. He not only tricked the enemy, but also tricked his own people when he had nothing to do. The number of people Zhu Jiabao offended could fill an entire division. He even suspected that the old guy had been secretly imprisoned in sacks more than a hundred times.
Liu Yumin wanted to argue further, but the dean interrupted her directly: "As a reward for handing Fanfan over to me, I'll give you medicinal herb seeds, do you want them?"
Liu Yumin answered without hesitation: "Yes."
The dean opened his drawer, about to take out the seeds, muttering as he did so: "The world is going to the dogs. No respect for their master, no filial piety but still expecting subsidies from their master. Hey, hey, don't touch them, leave some for me. How can I motivate you to do hard labor if there's nothing left..."
Liu Yumin couldn't stand her master's hypocritical act: "Tell me, when have you ever asked me to do something and I didn't?"
Master, Master, is both teacher and father. When has she ever refused a request he made? Where is the trust between people?
The two started dredging up each other's wounds, accusing each other of exploitation and disobedience, and their complaints about each other became unstoppable.
The two were still arguing when Xu Jingqian brought over the lunchbox. However, Xu Jingqian had just set out the food and hadn't even said a word when the two quickly started eating, ignoring each other.
Xu Jingqian said helplessly, "Dad, can't you and my sister talk to each other properly? The whole building could hear you arguing."
There were even people squatting at the doorway to listen, their ears perked up like rabbit ears, afraid of missing a single word.
The dean nodded: "We should pay attention to that. I'll give my suggestion to the higher-ups and ask them to do some soundproofing."
If this weren't his own father, he would have given him a disdainful look.
After the meal, Zhu Jiabao came to pick them up. When they left, a car followed behind them. It's normal for someone of the dean's rank to have a car, and since the dean was born here, he naturally has his own house.
Upon arriving home, Zhu Jiabao and Xu Jingqian immediately lit the stove to keep everyone warm, without being told. The dean and Liu Yumin went upstairs.
The second floor was converted into a pharmacy by Liu Yumin. The room was divided into two parts. The inner part was planted with a lot of medicinal herbs. There were also plots of land of varying sizes, which were her experimental fields. Next to it was a small laboratory, which she had obtained with her merits and with the help of her connections.
These experimental fields consumed a lot of her effort. Each field had a different temperature. Unfortunately, after she fell ill, Lao Zhu didn't take care of them, and they ended up like this now, cold and lifeless.
The outer part is a pharmacy with a medicine cabinet in front. The medicine cabinet is very well-stocked. When the hospital is short of medicine, they will also send some to the hospital. After all, she grew up here, so how could she not have some connections?
The medicine cauldron was right next to them, and she had specially made a support for it. The dean and Liu Yumin were studying it next to them, while Zhu Fanfan was sleeping nearby.
When Xu Xiangqian arrived, the two started arguing again. The dean insisted that water should be added when refining medicine in the cauldron. After all, who doesn't add water when brewing medicine? If water isn't added, the medicine will dry out, and dried-out medicinal herbs are poisonous.
Liu Yumin believed that the steps in the prescription did not include adding water. What if adding water caused the medicine to fail? Her medicinal herbs were not obtained by chance, and collecting them was also very difficult.
The dean scoffed, saying that she could find a supplier of medicinal herbs. Even though the supplier had quit, she still had connections. As long as she had money, she could do it. Why pretend to have difficulties in front of him?
Liu Yumin felt that since she had bought it with her own money, not found it, she should spend it wisely.
Seeing that the two were arguing off-topic, Xu Jingqian had no choice but to remind them, "Aren't we discussing alchemy right now? Why are we turning this into a denunciation meeting?"
The master and apprentice had no choice but to cease fighting, but each of them insisted on their own ideas. They decided to try each other's methods, hoping that one of them would be the right one.
The group prepared the medicine according to the prescription and quickly began to study how to do it.
Feeling bored, Zhu Fanfan went straight into her spatial dimension, taking small steps and looking around with her head held high. After all, this was the empire she had built for herself, and she had already smuggled out half of the medicinal herb seeds that the dean had given to her grandmother. She was confident that she could grow them herself and give her grandmother back ten times more.
She didn't have any paper, so she moved the seeds to the table, and they got all mixed up. She had no choice but to separate them. This time, she planned to plant the seeds directly on the mountain. The older the medicinal herbs, the better. She didn't have to worry about not being able to harvest them in time. Speaking of medicinal herbs, what about her He Shou Wu?
She teleported to the location of the Polygonum multiflorum, where she saw that the vines were very long and covered the ground. Did they need to build a trellis for it? Zhu Fanfan didn't understand. She touched the herb and there was no reaction. It seemed to be adapting well.
Zhu Fanfan began looking for a suitable place to plant the seeds. She cleared out a patch of land, placed the seeds there, and the information rushed into her mind. It seemed that not only was it unsuitable, but it also had a counterproductive effect. She was also seeing the seeds of anger for the first time.
Try different kinds of seeds. Plant the ones that can be planted, and for the ones that can't, find another patch. If the germination rate is high in a given space, plant them further apart. Maybe they'll grow better like crops.
While Zhu Fanfan was busy, her consciousness suddenly trembled. Before she could react, she was back in her body, and when she opened her eyes, she saw three coal balls that had come to life and appeared in front of her.
She was so shocked she could only scream "Holy crap!" Upon closer inspection, it looked like three Africans with afros, their mouths revealing large, white teeth, and black smoke billowing from their mouths. This appearance…
