Chapter 128 Seeking a Disciple
Qin Huiyin took Li Taohua's hand and said with a smile: "Maybe it's because my mother is too beautiful. Doctor Wei doesn't believe that she already has a daughter this big!"
Doctor Wei laughed dryly, "That's right. This lady looks like she's newly married. Who would have thought her daughter is already this big?"
"Doctor Wei, how is my...father?" Qin Huiyin originally wanted to say 'my uncle', but after such a misunderstanding, she thought it would be better to save herself the trouble.
Tang Dafu's eyes widened in disbelief. He shook Li Taohua's hand, pointed at Qin Huiyin, then at himself, looking silly.
Li Taohua rolled her eyes beautifully.
Silly.
Doctor Wei looked at Tang Dafu, then at Qin Huiyin, wondering if these two completely different people could be father and daughter?
This time he learned his lesson and didn't say anything he shouldn't have said.
"I promise to cure him. Just rest assured, he'll be able to get out of bed and walk in half a month."
"Last time, it took him a long time to get out of bed. This time, his symptoms are even more severe than last time. You said he'd be able to get out of bed and walk in eight months. Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?"
The one who raised the question was Tang Yixiao.
"Also, the sachet you're carrying around conflicts with the medicine my father is using. It would be strange if he doesn't have diarrhea!"
Doctor Wei took out the sachet and sniffed it, then looked up at Tang Yi with a gleaming gaze. "Have you studied medicine?"
"No." Tang Yixiao was frightened by his gaze and hid behind Qin Huiyin. "I take medicine frequently, and I've had dozens of doctors prescribe medicine for me. We were poor before, so my sister and I would go to the mountains to look for medicine according to the doctor's drawings. Some herbs can't be picked by hand because the juice is poisonous. The doctor told us, and we wrote it down."
"Come here." Doctor Wei waved to him.
"What do you want to do?" Tang Yixiao felt that his eyes were very strange and was reluctant to go over.
Doctor Wei strode over, took Tang Yixiao's wrist and took his pulse.
"You were born with a congenital deficiency. I see you're in good health. People with congenital deficiencies like yours usually don't have such a plump figure." Doctor Wei was surprised. "Your family has taken good care of you."
Tang Yi smiled and raised his head, saying proudly: "My sister's cooking skills are unparalleled, so of course she raised me well."
"Not bad."
A medicine boy passed by with a medicine jar. Doctor Wei took out a herb and handed it to Tang Yi with a smile: "If you can smell what this is, I will treat your body for free."
"Your medical skills are so poor..." Tang Yi muttered with a smile, "It's not an honor to be free."
"I promise to make you stronger than a normal person." Doctor Wei threw out the bait again.
Tang Luwu was surprised: "Really? Little brother, admit it quickly."
Tang Yi smiled and looked at Qin Huiyin. Seeing the latter nod, he took it and smelled it. After carefully identifying its appearance, he said, "Wild kudzu."
Doctor Wei randomly pulled out a prepared herb from the medicine cabinet and handed it to him, looking at him expectantly.
"Zhi Mu."
"Not bad, you have a sensitive nose and are also very sensitive to medicinal herbs. Little guy, do you want to learn medicine from me?" Doctor Wei looked at him expectantly.
Tang Yixiao shook his head without hesitation: "No. I want to do business, I want to make money, I want to become the richest man in the world."
Doctor Wei: “…”
"You're such a funny doctor! My husband's injury hasn't healed yet, and you're already thinking about taking advantage of my child. You should heal my husband's leg first!"
Li Taohua had a bad first impression of Doctor Wei and spoke rudely.
Seeing her like this, Tang Dafu felt very relieved.
He'd been worried about Li Taohua's reaction the past few days, because he knew her preferences better than anyone. Doctor Wei was a decent-looking man, and every young woman and wife who passed by him would take a few more glances. His wife was also a womanizer, so what if she saw this pretty boy and was seduced by him? Now everything was fine, and he felt relieved.
Doctor Wei was a little disappointed, but he did not give up completely.
He continued to persuade her, "Look, there are so many people in your family, right? If you knew medicine, wouldn't you not have to ask for help when someone in your family gets hurt or sick?"
Tang Yi's eyes wavered as he smiled.
"You can do business, or learn medicine. If you learn one more skill than others, wouldn't you be able to help your family better?"
Doctor Wei now looks very much like the witch stepmother who bewitched Snow White into eating the poisoned apple.
Qin Huiyin did not expose the loopholes in his language.
A person's energy is limited. Once he decides to do something, he will not have the energy to do anything else.
Qin Huiyin felt that this was Tang Yixiu's life, and he should make decisions for his own life instead of considering other people's opinions.
"My family has a long history of practicing medicine, and some of our members have worked in the Imperial Hospital before. If you learn medicine from me, it will definitely be different from the barefoot doctors in your area."
"We're in a hurry, so let's leave it at that for today. We'll talk about it after he goes back and thinks it over. If you really want to take me in as your apprentice, then you have to cure my father's injured leg and let me see your medical skills. If you can't even cure my father's injured leg, then forget about taking me in as your apprentice, and I don't need to consider it either."
Qin Huiyin is cute and sweet, with a pair of watery eyes that are like a spring breeze, making people feel like they are bathed in spring breeze. However, the words she said seemed harmless, but they revealed a lot of information.
Doctor Wei was a little dazed.
Why does this feeling seem so familiar?
Such orchid seedlings can actually grow in this countryside. I wonder how gorgeous they will be when they grow up.
"My daughter is right. You haven't even cured my husband's leg. It's too early to talk about this. We are in a hurry, so we won't stay here." Li Taohua said, and then asked Tang Dafu, "How have you been eating these days?"
Tang Dafu said aggrievedly: "The food they cook is not delicious, not as good as the food at home."
"It's good enough to have something to eat. Stop being so pretentious." Li Taohua wouldn't indulge him. "We're busy there and don't have time to accompany you. If you have any problems, go find them."
Tang Dafu quickly coaxed Li Taohua: "My wife, you have worked hard. When my leg is completely healed, I will definitely do more work. Then my wife won't have to work anymore. Just enjoy yourself."
"That's pretty much it."
Doctor Wei watched the couple flirting with a smile.
Li Taohua gave Tang Dafu a few words of advice and said to Qin Huiyin, "We've wasted quite a bit of time. Let's go quickly, or the guests will get impatient again."
There were three medicine boys in the clinic. Qin Huiyin gave each of them a tip, and she did it in front of Doctor Wei. Seeing that Doctor Wei was reading the medical book seriously, the medicine boys did not say that they could not accept the money, so they accepted it generously. After all, they were the ones who took care of Tang Dafu's shit and urine, so they had nothing to feel guilty about accepting this little money.
