Chapter 367: Apprentice’s Medical Skills

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Shi Cui felt like her heart had stopped beating, and she wondered if she had misheard Ding Wan. Shi Cui was not afraid of suffering and was willing to risk her life to earn money.

...

Freezing or starving to death was still death, so it was better to work hard to make money. She returned to her senses, and her eyes widened as she said, “I didn’t mishear you, did I, Madam Ding?”

She was on the verge of tears. She wanted to work at the tofu factory but would think of her hand and feel inferior, so she dared not go. Although she used her hands to do housework, it would affect the tofu factory if she worked there.

Since her hand often hurt, she could not exert too much strength. Otherwise, why would she spend the entire morning washing a basket of clothes? The wounds on her finger had gotten soaked in water, which hurt tremendously.

She had to wash one piece of clothing, take a break, then wash her hands in the river. Since the weather was cold, she was reluctant to wash her family’s clothes with cold water.

The family needed firewood to boil water, but they had to sell them in town for maybe a coin or two. However, the family could only think about feeding themselves before anything else.

Hence, the family could not bear to burn firewood. They used to have an old hen that laid eggs for them, but the runaway bride left with the family’s money and took the old hen with her.

It would cost money to buy another hen, but Shi Cui could not do much, even after saving so much. That was why her eyes looked dull and lifeless. Still, her eyes brightened when she heard Ding Wan’s words.

Ding Wan nodded thoughtfully. “You didn’t mishear me, Shi Cui. Listen, come and work at the embroidery shop when your hand recovers. You’ll earn a monthly salary, and your days will improve.”

“I don’t exactly know how to embroider. Is that really okay?” Shi Cui asked. She had gotten hit where it mattered many times and began feeling inferior. She even began to doubt herself.

“Of course, you can learn as long as you know needlework. Come to me tomorrow morning, and you’ll learn more. Then go to the clinic in the afternoon and get your hand treated,” Ding Wan said.

“Think about it. You can do embroidery work and earn money when your hand recovers. Then you can repair your house and buy some provisions to avoid freezing and starving during winter.

“There is only hope when one is alive, and only then can one do many things.” These words were something Ding Wan could not understand in the past. However, she finally acknowledged these principles after recovering. Thus, she shared those words with Shi Cui.

Shi Cui’s eyes reddened as tears rolled down her cheeks. She forcefully wiped them away and said, “I’m sorry for troubling you, Madam Ding. Thank you. I’ll take your advice and visit the clinic tomorrow afternoon to get medicine for my hand.

“I will do an excellent job at the embroidery shop. Don’t worry. I won’t take it for granted and make you proud.”

Ding Wan noticed that Shi Cui had taken her words to heart and smiled. “I know what kind of person you are, Shi Cui. That’s why I’m pleased to have you work at the embroidery shop.”

Afterward, Ding Wan went to Sun Damin, Yang Luqin, and two other people’s houses. She visited six people to make things before the embroidery shop was complete. When the shop was finally complete, these people would make more dolls and sweaters.

Ding Wan walked back briskly after visiting a few people. She could not wait to lead everyone to knit sweaters and for them to embroider double-sided screens, among other things.

Just thinking about it excited her, and she realized doing such things was meaningful. She knew she could help many people from the village. They might even help more people like Zhou Wen’e and Shi Cui when Su Binglan’s embroidery shop was completed and expanded.

The poor could live as long as they could eat their fill. Ding Wan believed everyone would be excited to learn how to knit sweaters and make dolls because she felt it looked good just by looking at it.

Besides, Su Binglan said they could sell such things in the shops around town and other places. Ding Wan believed the business would be perfect.

However, Binglan said they would put these things on the market first. She guessed everyone would be ecstatic to see sweaters, dolls, and double-sided screens.

Su Binglan had been busy at the back of the mountain all morning. She had placed many rapeseeds in her pocket dimension but could not take them all. After all, it was a vast field of rapeseed.

When noon arrived, she looked up at the sun and thought she should go home to eat since she still had to go to town in the afternoon.

As she walked home with the basket on her back, she turned and looked at the back of the mountain. It was boundless, and she did not even know where the other side of the mountain range was or what it was.

However, she felt there was a hidden treasure in it. It was a good thing she had bought the entire mountain, even though the town’s map did not clearly state which area the mountain belonged to.

Still, a large area marked by the mountain belonged to her, but she did not tell the villagers that they could go there to chop wood. She found it strange that the villagers could not enter and loitered outside whenever they went there. It was as if she was the only one who could enter.

After a long while of walking, Su Binglan noticed a natural formation here.

Even so, she was busy going home for lunch and did not thoroughly study it.

After returning home, she poured the rapeseed she gathered into the warehouse, where she stored food. She poured so many rapeseeds that they took up several baskets.

Su Binglan could not stop smiling when she saw so many rapeseeds and thought about how to use them. Afterward, she went to the main hall to look for her mother. At that time, Shen Qiuhua and Su Fengmao had already returned from the factory.

Su Fengmao was starting the fire while his wife was cooking. Simultaneously, Su Wenxiu was still fiddling with his medicinal herbs in the backyard fields. After all, the next afternoon would be consultation time, and he had to prepare many herbs for daily use.

When Su Binglan passed by and saw how busy he was, she felt her second brother must be exhausted after gathering so many herbs.

She walked over and said, “Second Brother, do you want to take in a few apprentices? They can help you plant medicinal herbs, and you can also teach them about nursing.”

Su Binglan taught Su Wenxiu many things about nursing so that he could pursue his dream, but there was still a gap between his and his sister’s medical skills.

Su Wenxiu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, “I’ll always take your advice, Little Sister, but will anyone be willing to become my apprentice?”

Su Binglan said, “There will be, especially since we’ve cured many of the villagers’ illnesses and conditions. That proves our medical skills, so people will be willing to learn medicine from us. You can take in apprentices and teach them for free.”

She knew that many people in the village wanted their children to learn something. However, apprentices would also need money, primarily in that era. If Su Wenxiu taught for free, there was no doubt that many would want to learn from him or Su Binglan..
