How could someone be unhappy living in a matriarchal society?

Chapter 46 Ordinary Days

So she asked a few more questions, which He Baobao answered one by one, greatly benefiting Song He.

The two chatted for two hours, until it was almost dark.

Song He stood up, preparing to leave.

She said to He Baobao, "Thank you for today. I learned a lot. I'll come back to chat with you again when I have the chance."

He Baobao smiled and said, "You're welcome. I'm also very happy to communicate with you. I hope you can become an excellent doctor."

After saying that, she saw Song He to the door.

Just then, Song He suddenly remembered something and turned to He Baobao, saying, "Oh, right, I have some good news to tell you. Our clinic's master is recruiting students. If you're interested, you can give it a try."

He Baobao's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly, "Really? That's great! I was just looking for a job recently. May I ask where your clinic is located? When do you start recruiting?"

Song He told her the address and time in detail, and said, "You're so capable, I'm sure your master will accept you as a disciple."

He Baobao nodded gratefully and said, "Thank you, I will definitely work hard. It would be great if I could become a member of the clinic."

Song He smiled and encouraged her, saying, "It'll definitely be fine, I'm waiting for you!"

After saying that, he waved goodbye and left He Baobao's house.

When Wu Liu returned after washing the clothes, she saw her son Song He sitting leisurely in the yard. She was furious and was about to kick him.

"You little rascal, where have you been all afternoon? I've been washing all the family's clothes by myself. Are you trying to kill me with exhaustion?"

Seeing this, Song He immediately and nimbly dodged her father's flying kick, a bright smile still on her face.

"Dad, didn't I go to Brother Shi'an's house to deliver lunch this afternoon?"

Wu Liu slammed the basin down on the ground, put her hands on her hips, and glared at him, saying, "How can delivering food take this long? Who would believe that? You must have gone out to have fun."

Song He quickly waved her hand and explained, "Dad, really not! I've been staying at Brother Shi'an's house. A new lady has come to their house, and she's a doctor. We've been discussing medical books."

Wu Liu frowned and asked in confusion, "Oh? Is that the girl Chu Ci picked up from the mountain?"

Song He nodded obediently: "Yes, she's amazing. She knows the answer to any question I ask her, and she also knows acupuncture!"

Wu Liu scoffed dismissively: "Those are just tricks to fool you young men, they're all fake."

Upon hearing this, Song He became very angry and retorted loudly, "Father, you don't understand at all! She's really amazing!"

Wu Liu completely ignored her son and continued hanging up the clothes, muttering, "Stop nagging and hurry up and prepare dinner. Your mother will be back soon."

Seeing that her father didn't believe her at all, Song He stomped her feet in anger, but she could only obediently run to the kitchen to help with the cooking.

He secretly vowed to prove to his father how amazing Sister He's medical skills were.

He would take Sister He to the clinic so that everyone could see what it was like.

Meanwhile, at the market in Lianhua Town, it was already close to noon.

As agreed, Chu Langjun's servant handed over the deposit, needles, thread, cloth, and other items to Shi An.

Shi An accepted the gifts without hesitation and gave the waiter some extra silver as a token of his gratitude.

This gesture won the waiter's favor and made their relationship even more harmonious.

The meat from Chu Ci has all been sold, and they are currently packing up.

Suddenly she looked up to the west, but didn't see anyone.

Strange, Chu Ci always felt that someone was looking at her, even though she hadn't felt this before.

Am I overthinking things?

Chu Ci frowned slightly and continued packing.

Strange, I didn't feel this way a few days ago.

Zhao Qing hid behind the window, looking somewhat displeased. He hadn't expected the beautiful woman's wife to be so perceptive, discovering him. It seemed he would have to take action while the woman was away.

Finding no danger, Chu Ci stopped worrying about it and took Shi An to eat.

That evening, Chu Ci and Shi An returned home from Lianhua Town.

After dinner, Chu Ci didn't rush to rest, but went to He Baobao's room instead.

He Baobao was sitting at the table drinking tea when she saw people arrive. She was very happy and asked, "Sister Chu Ci, is there anything I can help you with?"

Have you read the stories I wrote?

He Baobao nodded, "I've read it, it's well-written, but the plot isn't dramatic enough."

Chu Ci frowned in confusion, "So melodramatic? What does that mean?"

He Baobao thought for a moment and said, "The plot isn't engaging enough."

She took out the book, flipped to the middle, and said seriously, "Look here, the male and female leads are together halfway through, without any major twists or turns, which makes the plot seem a bit bland. You should create a few supporting characters who like the female or male lead, and create some friction and misunderstandings, so that the story will be more exciting."

Chu Ci listened attentively and nodded, saying, "Okay, I'll give it a try."

Then, he chatted with He Baobao for a while longer until he noticed that she was tired, and then he got up and left.

When Chu Ci returned to the house, she saw Shi An sitting by the lamp, embroidering.

He had embroidered the "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" embroidery in his previous life and knew that the process was extremely long and required a great deal of time and effort.

Therefore, Shi An decided to start taking action tonight.

Watching her husband's busy figure, Chu Ci didn't rush to disturb him. Instead, she found an open space to sit down and began to rewrite the story.

Although the two were focused on their own tasks, a harmonious atmosphere permeated the room.

The two silhouettes reflected in the window complement each other, creating a particularly warm and cozy atmosphere.

Zhao Qing stood outside the courtyard, arms crossed, a blade of grass dangling from his mouth. He looked at the beautiful figure reflected in the window with a flirtatious gaze, a sly smile playing on his lips: "I can't wait any longer."

As she spoke, she swayed her body gently, appearing somewhat impatient.

At this moment, Zhao Qing's heart was filled with anticipation and desire, as if he could already see what was about to happen.

***

Three days later, He Baobao's leg injury had completely healed, and he could move around as before.

Seeing this, Song He didn't want to delay for a moment and quickly took her to the town's clinic.

Upon arriving at the clinic, they met the clinic owner, Li Jiang.

She carefully examined He Baobao and expressed satisfaction with her appearance.

Then he asked, "I heard from Song He that you studied medicine?"

He Baobao smiled and nodded in agreement.

Li Jiang then picked up a book from the table and said to He Baobao, "Then let me test you."

He Baobao smiled slightly: "You can give me the question."
