Chapter 531 I'm Not a Too-Good Person
Lin Chang'er paused, then hurriedly shook her head, "How could that be! My father is a scholar, would he let me learn this!"
In this era, studying medicine was considered a lowly profession for women, and it would be strange if a scholar's daughter were allowed to study it.
The old woman was applying soap to her face, and remained silent for a long time, as if she was thinking about something. "Your reaction today doesn't seem like that of a novice."
Lin Chang'er laughed out loud, "I'm brave! I'm the first person in our village to dare to make a living from the sea after giving up making a living from the sea."
"I was the first to suggest fighting the pirates!"
"Think about it, our village has fought so many pirates, and the children's hands are all stained with blood. Giving birth is really nothing special."
The old woman doctor agreed with this point, but the more she spent with the girl, the more she felt that she was a good prospect and it would be a pity if she didn't follow in her footsteps.
However, she doesn't seem to have asked?
Thinking of this, the old woman doctor asked solemnly, "Would you consider learning a trade from me?"
"What kind of skills do you have?" Lin Chang'er asked casually, then seemed to realize something.
She waved her hand. "Studying medicine?" Heh, she already studied it in her past life, so she didn't want to suffer that hardship in this one.
"Are you looking for an heir?"
The old woman looked at her without saying a word, while Lin Chang'er continued to chatter, "With so many children in the family, didn't you find one you liked?"
"Isn't Qingning a nice girl? Jingyi is also a good kid."
“Teaching someone from a young age is the true way to pass on knowledge. At my age, I’m a latecomer to this field. It’s exhausting for both of us. Let’s just let each other go!”
"At worst, if you need anything in the future, I'll just help you out."
Asking her to see a doctor is out of the question.
Having said all that, any further entanglement would only be annoying.
The old woman doctor, seeing that things were going well, decided to stop, saying, "Let me think about it."
Lin Chang'er nodded like a lucky cat, "You've checked Sister Cai's and the child's health, right?"
The old woman hummed in agreement. "The older one was so tired she fell into a deep sleep. She was already awake when I came out. As for the younger one, you can suck out the amniotic fluid. Everything else is fine. You heard her crying, didn't you?"
Lin Chang'er admitted this, her crying was extremely loud.
He let out a long sigh of relief. "Then shall we gracefully retire?"
The old woman doctor suddenly said, "That woman is malnourished, and the child will probably not get enough to eat."
Lin Chang'er: "..." Huh? This doesn't seem to be her responsibility!
Shouldn't the child's food be earned by the child's father? Otherwise, what kind of man is he?
The old woman said, "Your mother goat produces more milk than your child can drink every day. You've already meddled in this whole thing, why don't you see it through to the end?"
Lin Chang'er pouted, "I'm not a pushover. I've planned everything out. What's the point of this man? Things that are too easy to get are worthless, understand?"
Besides, a man needs his wife and daughter to work hard, right?
The old woman looked up at her, "You still have to take care of her." Don't think she didn't know; she brought a jar of goat milk!
Lin Chang'er ignored her. She wasn't meddling; she was just feeling sorry for the little girl.
Inside the house, Aunt Cai and the nanny had already fed the little girl goat milk.
Aunt Cai held the little girl in her arms, her eyes narrowed to slits with laughter, her face full of affection. She exclaimed, "The boss is really thorough; he even prepared goat's milk for her."
"We always say our daughter is blessed. She's been taken care of by the big boss since she was born. She's incredibly lucky."
At that time, no one else knew the situation at home, but she, as the mother, knew it best.
If the big boss ignores them and goes to see the authorities, their whole family will have no way to survive.
The old woman smiled kindly, "It's just a coincidence, isn't it? Our young master also had a difficult birth and isn't even six months old yet!"
"When the second young mistress was pregnant with the young master, it happened during the worst time in the family's circumstances. She was also in the midst of a flood during childbirth and was frightened. That was truly a dangerous situation."
"The old folks in our village all say that our young master is a precious gem that the big boss spent a lot of money to protect! That's why the big boss was worried that the young master wouldn't have enough to eat, so he specially raised goats for him."
"It's also our boss, he knows how to cook. Our goats are more than enough for the young master, and there's even some left over. Otherwise, even if the boss wanted to, he wouldn't be able to produce this stuff."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Cai said, "Then our daughter is even more blessed. Once the child can walk, I will definitely take her to kowtow to the master of the house."
“Mother, my wife and Shitou both have to go together,” Sister Cai said, sipping her brown sugar and egg soup.
The old woman smiled and said, "Everyone knows that our master family is good. Just keep it in your hearts. Whether you kowtow or not, the master family will not have put their hearts into it."
On the contrary, she could tell that their young mistress disliked kneeling and kowtowing at all.
Cai Shitou, who was sitting to the side feeding his sister-in-law sugar water, naturally had other ideas after hearing these words.
He used to be confused and muddle-headed, but fortunately, his boss gave him a chance, pulled him back in time.
Actually, the situation at that time was probably thanks to his daughter. The boss was lenient and even gave him a job so that his family could have food to eat. It was definitely not because of his daughter.
He knows what he's doing; what face does he have left?
So, his next steps are twofold: first, to work hard for the big boss; and second, to raise his daughter well so that he can take her to school in Linshui Village when she gets a little older.
Of course, you need to work to earn wages and have enough food to support your family, so to put it bluntly, these two things are actually the same thing.
The small bowl of goat milk was almost empty. The old woman put down her spoon and said, "The head of the household said that goat milk spoils easily when left outside in this weather. In a little while, you should hang that earthenware jar in the well and warm it up again when the child is about to drink it."
"We've been out for quite a while, so we should head back now."
Aunt Cai immediately stood up with the child in her arms. "Sister, it's already noon. After feeding the child, I'll go cook. Why don't you stay for a quick meal before you leave?"
The old woman waved her hand, "To be honest, the fishing boats had a bumper catch last night, and the boss barely slept a wink. We can come and eat whenever we want, right?"
The old woman smiled slightly, "Sister, it's time to slow down after the joy of having a new baby. We'll be leaving now, please don't see us off!"
"This..." They came in a hurry to save lives, and I was so confused that I only cared about the two of them and didn't even let the boss have a sip of water. Now that they're leaving, how can I not see them off?
Aunt Cai placed the swaddled baby next to Sister Cai, saying, "I'll go see him off."
Sister-in-law Cai and Cai Shitou nodded in unison.
Thinking of something, Sister Cai called out to Aunt Cai, who was walking to the door, "Mom, could you take that half of Old Chen's ham from our house to the boss?"
Aunt Cai paused, then slapped her forehead. "Look at me, I actually forgot we still have this at home!" Old Chen's ham is a good thing for cooling down. She had heard her son say that the head of the household often stayed up late to process the catch from the beachcombing, and staying up late is the easiest way to get a sore throat.
We're poor and don't have anything else of value; these are the only things we can offer...
