Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 192 Difference

Li gave each of the three a piece of shortbread, and took it into her room along with the Chongyang cake and put it away. Then she talked about Song Ying: "You were doing odd jobs, but why did you become a medicine boy?"

Song Ying said half-truthfully, "I'm good at making medicinal food and have never made any mistakes. Doctor Lin thought I was teachable and accepted me as his apprentice."

Li frowned and pointed at Song Ying, saying in a tone of disappointment: "You stupid girl, how can you be so stupid? They are the same job, how can a medicine boy be the same as a temporary worker?

You will be paid for doing short-term work. To put it bluntly, a medicine boy is an apprentice. Not only will you not get paid, you also have to pay tuition!

How can you be so shallow? You were fooled by a piece of clothing. I told you that the rich people have evil hearts, but you didn't believe me and insisted on staying there! You were cheated but still helped others count their money. I'm talking about you!"

Song Ying rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "If that's the case, you can just send Song Tian to do part-time work in the future. You don't have to pay tuition and you can make money."

Apprentices go to learn skills, and the master has the responsibility to teach. Doing odd jobs is just to fulfill your filial piety to the master. As for temporary workers, they simply go to work, and the master has no obligation to teach you.

Li was choked and cursed, "You always compare yourself with your two cousins, you are the elder sister.

Your cousin is not as smart as you, and he has no stable character. Without a master to teach him, he won't be able to learn any skills even if he works as a part-time worker for many years.

You are different. You can learn to read and write by yourself. How can it be harder to be a medicine boy than to study? You are always pretending to be smart. You have no plan. When people are nice to you, you think they are very nice to you. People's hearts are separated by their stomachs. Except for relatives who are connected by blood, who will really do good to you! "

Song Ying was so angry that she laughed. Who was it that was being nice to her in words but actually not caring about her life or death?

When she gets angry, her tone will naturally be bad: "Didn't you say Song Tian is smart and I'm stupid before? Now you praise me for being smart. It seems that whether we are smart or not is entirely up to you.

Besides, I am doing this for your own good. You think that my doing odd jobs is embarrassing for you, and you are worried that people will say that you are mistreating an orphan girl.

Now that I am a medicine boy, no one will say that you treat me harshly. You can also go out and let others see how kind and honest our Song family is. We are even willing to spend money to send our daughters to learn skills!"

The irony in the words was so strong that not only Li but even the young Song Yuan could hear it.

Li was so angry that she had a heart attack. She angrily pounded the armrest of the armchair and said, "Is this a question of whether to learn a skill or not? Go out and see which family would send their daughter to learn a skill?

Men work outside and women work inside, this is a tradition passed down from generation to generation, which family would let their daughters and daughters-in-law go out and show their faces in public?"

It’s a pity that the armrest is not a table. It is too narrow to take pictures, and the sound is very small, which seems very unimpressive.

Song Ying was very dismissive of her talk of showing up in public. No matter whether it was farmers in the village or poor people in the city, all women were busy at home and outside. As for talking about not showing up in public, that was something only rich people would care about.

However, she did not argue with this, but said: "Not all jobs require exposure. I am in the backyard of Shen's house, and the people who come and go are all women. How can I be exposed?

The Shen Mansion is looking for a female medicine boy, but they haven't been able to find a suitable person for half a year. It's much safer than outside."

Li was immediately furious: "You short kid, you won't listen to any good or bad words. I don't care about you anymore. Go ahead. If you are bullied in Shen Mansion in the future, don't come back to me to support you."

Song Ying was so angry that she almost rolled her eyes to the sky. In the village, she was absolutely right and even Mrs. Li might not stand on her side, let alone go to the Shen Mansion and risk offending the powerful to support her.

This is a joke.

"Don't worry, if I'm bullied, I will get my revenge myself and will never come back to complain to you!"

She spoke in a firm tone, which sounded harsh to Li's ears. "Humph, I've lived for decades and have eaten more salt than you have eaten rice. You ignorant girl, you really think that you can make money by selling herbs just because you are smart. If you didn't have your family to back you up, you would have been sold out long ago!"

Do you believe it or not, if I say I won’t care about you, those dogs and slaves in the Shen Mansion will bully you and push all the dirty and tiring work onto you…”

Song Ying interrupted her cursing: "You are overthinking it. Before they knew my true identity, they didn't dare to do anything to me. It was because you and Second Uncle made trouble and let them know my true identity that someone tried to trip me up."

"Hey, you still think your family is poor, and you are embarrassed? A son will not think his mother is ugly, and a dog will not think his family is poor. Now you..."

Until Yang finished cooking, Li kept scolding her, which made it difficult for Yang, Song Tian and Song Yuan to joke around. Although they got to eat meat, the whole family still felt bad.

Song Ying also felt upset. After dinner, she immediately ran away on the pretext of going back to the ancestral home to wash the sheets. This made Li so angry that she scolded her for being so precious now and treating herself as a guest by not even washing the dishes after dinner.

Song Ying went directly to the Luo family to find Luo Yanxing. As soon as they met, Luo Yanxing exclaimed in amazement: "You really studied medicine!"

Song Ying smiled: "It's mainly because my master is a good person. I originally wanted to borrow medical books to read by myself and learn step by step. But as soon as I mentioned it, she said she wanted to teach me."

This was the first genuine smile she showed since returning to the village.

Luo Yanxing was envious and admired, "How are you doing in Shen Mansion? Do you have a lot of work to do? Are you tired? Have you been bullied?

I heard that the relationships between servants in those wealthy families are also very complicated, and those without relationships will be bullied.”

“The relationships inside are indeed quite complicated, but I am following my master and am only responsible for making medicinal food for Shun’an County Lady. Other people’s affairs have nothing to do with me.

As for the work, it is much easier than at home. I only make medicinal food twice a day. The rest of the time I used to practice calligraphy in my room."

At this point, Song Ying quickly took out a stack of papers from his sleeve, "This is the Three Character Classic and Thousand Character Classic that I memorized. If you can't remember any words, take them out and look through them."

Luo Yanxing took it and exclaimed in amazement at the neat and clean small characters on it. They were all the same. They had only used water to write on the slate before and had never had the chance to appreciate their own or others' handwriting.

When each small word is frozen on the white paper, the sense of accomplishment can't be experienced when writing on a slate. You will feel more clearly that you can read and write!

"You write so beautifully!" Luo Yanxing praised non-stop.

"There is a difference between writing on paper and practicing on a slate. Now that your money has been made public, you don't have to hide it anymore. You should also take out some to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstone to practice with."
