Chapter 116 Sincere Study
Ye Shengguo quickly opened a can of tea, even deliberately swirling it under Elder Fan's nose.
Elder Fan immediately sniffed, his eyes fixated on the tea can, almost popping out. But he still wanted to maintain his last shred of dignity.
"How is it, Elder Fan? Do you like it? You don't seem to."
Ye Shengguo feigned disappointment and covered the tea can, preparing to put it back in her bag. But before she could, Elder Fan snatched it away.
Ye Shengguo smiled at her elder brother and exchanged a knowing glance.
"Elder Fan, I am Shengguo's elder brother. The gift I brought today is a bit light. I will bring a more substantial gift next time."
Elder Fan grunted heavily at Ye Shengguo.
"Young man, come in. I will discuss your sister's condition with you."
Seeing that there was nothing for him, Er Liang quickly handed Ye Shengguo a slip of paper and ran off. Elder Fan's temper was not something ordinary people could endure.
Ye Shengguo shamelessly walked into the room. As soon as she entered, she was met with a strong medicinal aroma. In the center of the room was a tea table, clearly indicating Elder Fan's fondness for tea.
Ye Shengguo quickly washed her hands, lit a small charcoal stove to heat water, and after the water was ready, she proceeded to wash cups, brew tea, divide it, pour it, offer it, smell the fragrance, and taste it. After this entire process, Elder Fan's anger had completely dissipated.
"I didn't expect you to have some skill. If only you would put all your focus into making medicine."
"Hehe, Elder Fan, I am here to learn medicine and treatment. Please give me a chance."
Ye Shengguo displayed her most sincere attitude. She wanted to learn pharmaceutical making systematically, but she only wanted to use it to protect her family. This was the only area where she could strive.
"Alright, since you've made up your mind, put your heart into it from now on. To study traditional Chinese medicine, whether it's making medicine or treating people, you need to have the greatest perseverance and patience. I don't want you to give up halfway!"
Ye Shengguo nodded firmly. She was a very patient person, otherwise, she wouldn't have stayed at home for nearly twenty years. Although it was due to her physical condition, everyone has moments of resistance. Yet, Ye Shengguo never did. She could always find joy within the confines of her situation.
"Don't worry, teacher, I will study very diligently."
Ye Mu'en finally had an opportunity to speak, pouring Elder Fan a cup of tea.
"Elder Fan, could you tell me about Shengguo's condition and the future treatment plan?"
"Extend your hand, let me examine you again."
Ye Shengguo quickly moved her chair closer to Elder Fan and obediently extended her hand.
"Hmm? Your condition has improved slightly recently. Have you eaten anything?"
Ye Shengguo glanced at her elder brother. She drank two cups of well water every day, but she couldn't say.
"My elder brother found a doctor who prescribed me a medicinal diet. Did it work after only drinking it two or three times?"
"It's highly possible. However, you must bring the prescription to me next time so I can review it. After all, I will be prescribing you medicine soon, and we need to avoid any potential drug interactions."
Ye Mu'en considered the issue of the long journey and thought of discussing with Elder Fan whether he could stay at their home. After all, Zi Shao had already lent them ownership of the house.
"Elder Fan, does Shengguo's condition require her to come to your place every day?"
"Of course, she has to come every day. She needs acupuncture daily, the prescriptions need to be changed frequently, and she also needs to study with me every day."
"It's like this, Elder Fan. Our houses are on opposite ends of the city. It takes over an hour to cycle here every day, not to mention the round trip. Also, Shengguo still needs to attend school. Could we discuss if you could stay at our home for a while? This would also be more convenient for her studies."
