Chapter 473: More Conservative

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Li Su thought she could no longer help at home if she went to medical school.

‘What if my sisters can’t get a hot meal when they get home from work?’

She knew her sisters were earning and paying for the food and expenses at home. Since their parents were no longer around, the siblings were more sensitive and sensible.

Li Mei knew her second sister was just as sensitive as her and easily overthought things. She said, “If you can learn something, you will benefit from it in the future, Li Su.

“Since your sister and I can earn money, you don’t need to do anything at home. You should go and learn instead. Also, Xiaoshuan heard that the classes would be free, so we won’t have to pay any tuition fees.

“It’s just that you’ll be learning with boys, so it might not be good for your reputation. Still, reputation is nothing since you’ll benefit from learning such a skill. Then you’ll carry yourself with confidence, no matter what.”

Li Su reminded Li Mei of her past self. Li Mei was self-conscious and sensitive, while others despised her and her younger siblings for not having parents.

However, she gained confidence in her words and actions since starting work and earning money working at the tofu factory.

‘Honestly, Xiaoshuan’s mother might not have agreed to me being with him if I weren’t working at the factory to earn money. Also, the girls from Su Teng Village are more popular now because Miss Su is from here.’

Li Mei understood these things but did not say them casually. She knew she had to live a good life so her sisters and brother could become stronger. “Big Sister, I want to study and learn a new skill,” Li Su nodded thoughtfully. Her eyes revealed desire when she said that.

“All right,” Li Mei nodded and continued, “I’ll take you to Miss Su’s house tomorrow morning to get registered. As for whether or not you get accepted will depend on Miss Su’s opinion.”

After all, it was just a recruitment interview, and one had to pass it independently.

Li Su nodded happily. “Thank you, Big Sister and Second Sister!”

Li Wei smiled. “Why are you thanking me?”

Li Su answered, “I know you want to learn too, but you can work at the embroidery shop, so you choose not to learn. I’m aware you’re doing that for us.”

Li Wie’s eyes reddened when she heard that. “All right, since you’ve seen it through, you should study hard and not let us down.”

She felt that being a female doctor would be something to be proud of, thinking, ‘Others would respect me, and I could save people. Just look at Miss Su. She has cured many people, and everyone is grateful to her.’ Li Su nodded vigorously. “I will study hard, Second Sister!”

‘I will treat my elder sisters and younger brother well soon.’

Li Wei said, “Yes, you must, so I can tell everyone my youngest sister is a doctor. I’ll be proud that you can treat the sickly and save people.”

“Yes, yes.”

After getting married, Su Fengchen and Miao Zhizhi returned to work. The couple continued with their salted and preserved egg business as well as their braised chicken and roast duck business.

Only locals went to buy their food initially, but a while later, foreigners also came to order things. Therefore, the couple was swamped.

Miao Zhizhi would always have a smile on her face whenever she looked at su Fengchen. Her husband felt her gaze and turned to look back at her. Su Fengchen revealed a gentle expression seeing the look in her eyes.

Their eyes were full of profound affection when they looked at each other. Su

Fengchen asked, “Are you tired?”

Miao Zhizhi shook her head. “No, I’m not.”

Then she looked around, noticed no one was there, and quietly reached out to hold her husband’s hand.

“What’s wrong?” Su Fengchen lowered his head and asked softly.

Miao Zhizhi simply wanted to talk to her husband, saying, “The things Binglan gifted us are perfect, aren’t they? The duvet feels nice and warm, so we no longer have to worry about freezing during winter.”

Su Fengchen smiled and explained, “It does feel nice and warm. Only Binglan can think of such things.

“When we started making roast duck and braised chicken, we thought of throwing away their feathers, but Binglan said we had to keep them for other uses. She said they would be useful, so we simply listened to her.

“So, we washed and dried the feathers before putting them away. I never expected Binglan to use them to make duvets. No one would have thought that feathers could feel so warm.’

Since the duvet helped them feel warmer at night, the couple wanted to give it to the older couple. However, the older couple said it was Miao Zhizhi and Su Fengchen’s wedding gift, and only they could use it.

The younger couple wanted to buy another duvet from the embroidery shop, but the shop had just started producing them, so it would take time before the new stock became available.

Su Binglan also said she would make more for the rest of the family, so Su Fengchen and Miao Zhizhi did not need to worry about that.

“The sweater is so warm, too.” Miao Zhizhi was wearing the sweater Su Binglan had gifted her as she spoke. Although she wore her usual clothes underneath the sweater, it did not look bloated.

Instead, it still looked good and kept her warm. Miao Zhizhi did not know how to thank her new-found niece. Then she thought of Su Fengchen’s breathtaking look when he gazed at her that night, and a sweet smile appeared on her face.

Su Fengchen nodded. “Yes, indeed. That sweater keeps you nice and toasty but doesn’t look bloated.”

Miao Zhizhi replied, “We can also stay warm by wearing thick cotton clothes while working. I thought I would feel restrained if I wore the sweater while working, but this is different. I can continue with my tasks without it affecting me.”

After sighing relief, Miao Zhizhi seemed to have thought of something and said, “I heard from someone that Binglan wants to take in female apprentices and teach them medicine.”

Su Fengchen nodded, “Yes, everyone in the village should know about it by now. I wonder how many families will send their daughters to study medicine.” He knew everyone was quite conservative and had never seen a female doctor. However, he felt it was good for a woman to be a doctor since they could help other women with childbirth.

Su Fengchen had heard about the woman in Stone Village who had a complicated birth during the blizzard. Fortunately, Su Binglan helped, so the mother and her newborn daughter were safe.

Miao Zhizhi said, “If you ask me, everyone is being a little pedantic about it. If they were smart, they would have wanted to learn long ago. After all, learning a skill like that will only benefit them. It’s also a great thing for women.”

She came from a place that did not favor one gender over the other, and men and women received equal treatment. Moreover, a woman had become the Miao Jiang clan leader there.

Therefore, Miao Zhizhi’s thoughts differed from most Su Teng villagers’.

Su Fengchen chuckled. “If everyone thought like you, they would instantly send their daughters to study medicine. Still, I don’t think many girls will be signing up because Binglan wants them to be in the same class as boys and listen to her lessons together.

“So, the female students Binglan accepts must have parents who are more open-minded and willing to let their girls attend medical school.”

Miao Zhizhi nodded. “People like them can only concentrate on their studies if their families support them. If they worry about nonsense like that, they won’t be able to learn well.”

“Yes.”

A girl named Yang Man from Yangshan Village had also said she wanted to study medicine after her family’s oxcart overturned during the blizzard, and Su Wenxiu arrived just in time to save them.

The Yang family became excited when they heard that Su Binglan would take in a few female apprentices..
