Chapter 171 Or Should I Come With You?
If Zhang Shiqing is cured by her, then Ye Nuan is undoubtedly the Zhang family's savior!
Because the Zhang family had lost many talented people, and only Zhang Shiqing was capable, he almost never recovered.
Now things are much better. Before long, Zhang Shiqing will be able to return to an important department, and the younger generation of the Zhang family will once again be protected by the family.
Zhang Fendou now looks at Ye Nuan as if she were a goddess.
As Zhang Shiqing's health improved, he naturally attracted more and more attention from higher authorities.
Moreover, before the Lunar New Year, an official who was on a business trip to Zhejiang Province made a special trip to the hospital to visit Zhang Shiqing.
At that time, Zhang Fendou was helping Zhang Shiqing soak his feet.
In this simple scene, the other party directly arranged a job for Zhang Fendou.
Upon returning to Beijing, Zhang Fendou was going to complete his onboarding procedures.
Zhang Fendou was originally supposed to go to the countryside, but he kept putting it off because he was taking care of Zhang Shiqing.
Now that I have a job, I don't need to worry anymore.
When Ye Nuan arrived in Anshi, Ye An's family came to pick her up.
“Dad, you don’t need to make a special trip. I can go back by myself.”
"No way! You must be exhausted from the long train journey. Come on, your mom is making you something delicious at home."
Ye Nuan returned this time mainly to kowtow to her master and perform a formal apprenticeship ceremony.
Of course, for this kind of thing, you need to find a witness.
After thinking for a while, Ye Nuan couldn't think of anyone else besides Gu Hanchuan's uncle, Song Shaofeng.
Song Shaofeng was very thoughtful; in addition to himself, he specially brought an elderly gentleman along to be a witness for Ye Nuan.
Song Shaofeng only knew part of the old lady's identity. He knew she was a famous doctor and that she and Ye Nuan had been in contact before, but she had never formally become Ye Nuan's apprentice.
When Grandma Zheng Xiumei saw the visitor, she surprisingly smiled, and as she smiled, tears began to fall.
The old gentleman reacted in the same way. Ye Nuan and Song Shaofeng exchanged a glance and could roughly guess that the two were old acquaintances.
"Alright, let's not let the younger generation laugh at us. Junior sister, please take a seat. Today is your day to accept a disciple, and Xiao Song and I are here to be witnesses."
Junior sister?
Ye Nuan looked suspicious; she had never heard of this before.
Ye Nuan respectfully kowtowed three times and presented her with a gift to formally become an apprentice. Zheng Xiumei handed her a box and helped her up with a smile.
"Good child, you'll have to take good care of these two kids of mine from now on."
Ye Nuan saw Xiao Gangpao and the little girl hiding behind him and felt something was strange: "I remember Xiao Gangpao has a younger brother?"
Zheng Xiumei's eyes dimmed: "That child was lucky; his biological mother took him away."
Ye Nuan was puzzled, but looking at the old lady's expression, she didn't seem happy.
Looking at the dilapidated state of the place, Ye Nuan felt a pang of sadness.
If it weren't for the betrayal of her relatives, the old lady wouldn't have fallen into such a state of destitution.
“Master, come with me. Take Little Cannon and the others with you to Zhejiang Province. I can support you.”
"No, it would cause you trouble."
"I'm not afraid of trouble."
Zheng Xiumei smiled and shook her head: "Child, I am already very grateful that you are willing to take care of the two siblings in the future."
Ye Nuan fought back tears, her voice slightly choked as she said, "Master, I called you Master, so it's only right that I fulfill my filial duty to you. Besides, you gave me something so precious, Master!"
Zheng Xiumei smiled and patted her head: "Good child, those medical books I gave you aren't actually that rare. If there are any parts you don't understand, you can go to your senior uncle."
Ye Nuan's shoulders shrugged, and she suddenly felt very sad.
She knew she couldn't persuade the old lady.
Are we just going to stand by and watch the old lady leave?
She did consider using her own methods to save people.
But she could also see that the old woman's eyes had lost their vitality.
Perhaps, holding on until she comes to kowtow is already the limit.
Ye Nuan's guess was correct.
The day after the apprenticeship ceremony, the old lady fell ill.
Ye Nuan cried her heart out, feeling that she was the one who had wronged the old lady.
Little Cannon was sobbing uncontrollably.
My senior fellow apprentice, Deng Ruxian, also came.
Ye Nuan only learned about this senior apprentice last night when she stayed here to keep the old lady company and talk to her.
When the Zheng family ran into trouble, all the relatives and children went their separate ways. Zheng Xiumei was originally a married girl and no longer a member of the Zheng family, so it was reasonable to assume that no trouble would be caused to her.
However, some people coveted the Zheng family's medical books and prescriptions, so naturally they wanted to take drastic measures against Zheng Xiumei.
It was Deng Ruxian who noticed and tried his best to protect her. Although he ultimately saved her, Deng Ruxian himself was also removed from his position as dean.
Deng Ruxian had no complaints about this.
However, in order to avoid implicating her relatives and friends, Zheng Xiumei tried her best to avoid everyone.
Zheng Xiumei moved here after an accident at home.
This is why Deng Ruxian couldn't find her for several years.
The old lady rarely goes out, which may mean she's trying to avoid them.
Deng Ruxian was the same age as the old lady, but perhaps because he hadn't experienced those unpleasant things, he looked much younger than her.
Zheng Xiumei's funeral was held quickly. After Xiao Gangpao took his sister to the funeral, he returned looking dazed.
Ye Nuan felt that if she had returned a month later, perhaps the old lady could have held on for another month.
She is blaming herself.
Little Cannon said in a hoarse voice, "Auntie, you don't have to be so sad. Grandma wasn't feeling well around the New Year. It was only after you called and said you wanted to become her apprentice that Grandma forced herself to eat. Grandma had said long ago that she wouldn't live much longer."
Ye Nuan sighed. Actually, she wasn't much older than Xiao Gangpao, and she felt a little uncomfortable hearing the child call her "aunt."
Ye Nuan touched his head, then suddenly realized something was wrong.
"You'll be sixteen by the end of the year, how come you haven't grown any taller? You're so short!"
Little Cannon looked slightly embarrassed, but Yueyue still spoke up: "Auntie, brother will only be thirteen after the New Year."
"Ok?"
Xiao Gangpao blushed and said somewhat shyly, "I'm mainly trying to make a living outside, and I was afraid people wouldn't believe me, so I deliberately exaggerated my age."
Ye Nuan smiled and said, "Alright, I'll take care of things from now on. I'll help you transfer your household registration later, and you can go to school as usual."
"Auntie, there's no need for that. I've already graduated from junior high school."
"You still have to go to high school, and you're only thirteen. Did you really graduate from junior high?"
Little Cannon said proudly, "Of course, although I haven't been in school for long, my grandma has been teaching me all along."
"Then continue to high school. It will be easier to find a job after you graduate from high school."
Deng Ruxian walked over with a somber expression: "Xiao Ye, I know you're married. These two children can stay with me. By seniority, I should be their grandfather."
