Before the Sun family could react, Su Ruyi had already taken the two coins from Aunt Sun's son.
"You just took two taels of money and you want Hu Langzhong to accept your grandson as his disciple? Do you know that someone once promised Hu Langzhong a hundred taels of silver to become his disciple, but he didn't accept it? People's abilities are passed down from family to family. , I won’t exchange it for a thousand pieces of gold, I said I won’t accept a disciple, I just won’t accept it, and you still won’t go back!”
He stuffed two more coins back into the man's hand.
The Sun family's legs were trembling and their eyes were straight. What? One hundred taels of silver! Even if they sell their entire family, they can’t even get it together!
And Old Man Hu is not willing to accept a hundred taels of silver?
Next to him, Hu Langzhong also quietly wiped the sweat from his forehead.
This Su Ruyi really comes right out of her mouth!
When did someone pay a hundred taels of silver to become my disciple, and I still refused?
How could an old doctor from the countryside have such great abilities? Not even doctors from big places have such great abilities!
If there really is such a person, how can I not accept it... No, I don't dare to accept it at all! If you don’t have the ability, you wouldn’t dare to mislead others!
The young couple kept asking Grandma Sun: "Mom, we don't want to study anymore, let's go back..."
Let’s just say there are no skills that people like them can learn!
Aunt Sun immediately reacted: "No, Hu Langzhong doesn't accept apprentices. How can you learn from him? What's the truth? Hu Langzhong, can you make it clear?"
Hu Langzhong: "This..."
Su Ruyi: "Ten taels of silver."
Aunt Sun: "Ah?"
"I begged Hu Langzhong to give me ten taels of silver to let me learn acupuncture for a year. Hu Langzhong was kind-hearted and saw that it was really pitiful for me to have two patients at home. He also saw that I was extremely talented and qualified to learn this, so he reluctantly agreed. Come down."
Hu Langzhong: "???"
What a shameless woman!
You do have some talents, but how can normal people praise themselves so much!
This is so arrogant...
However, she felt really comfortable with what she said, and she praised herself as an old man to the sky. She had never had anyone brag like this in her life.
"Ten taels of silver..."
If you study for ten taels of silver for one year, what can you learn?
Su Ruyi continued: "If you are not convinced, then I will give you ten taels of silver. If Hu Langzhong feels that Dahu is really talented, he might agree to let your eldest grandson come and study for one year. What it looks like depends on your own destiny."
The two young couples pulled at their mother anxiously: "Mom, mom, let's go back!"
Not to mention ten taels of silver, they were not willing to let Dahu study for a year even with one tael of silver. They knew their son's virtue better than anyone else!
Aunt Sun was already exhausted at this time, and she still asked without giving up: "Did you give me the ten taels of silver?"
Su Ruyi: "With one tael a month, why do you think our Lu family works so hard to go to town every day?"
She didn't say that she paid it off in one go. Paying off ten taels of silver in one go would have a huge impact on the villagers. Behind her back, she must have been trying to guess how much money she had saved. She might have thought that she had already saved a mountain of gold. No. Safety.
Saying one payment per month reduces the risk a bit.
Aunt Sun opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything anymore, and left dejectedly. The young couple hurriedly pulled the child to follow them.
Su Ruyi stepped forward and closed the courtyard door.
Hu Langzhong quickly sat down on the bench and took a sip of water. He didn't know why Lu's water tasted different from his own. Maybe it had added sugar...
"Oh! God Aunt Lu, you are so powerful! You drove them away!"
Hu Yun, who followed his grandfather, had always been more steadfast and steady than other children of the same age in the village. At this time, he clapped his hands and jumped up with joy. He hated Aunt Sun for eating two pancakes from his family last afternoon!
He didn’t even ask her to eat!
Hu Yun had always been somewhat hostile to Su Ruyi because Su Ruyi learned too quickly and put too much psychological pressure on him. He didn't dare to be lazy every day. Sometimes he dreamed that this aunt surpassed him. Laughing at yourself!
But just now he suddenly felt that this aunt was too majestic, and Aunt Sun couldn't take advantage of her at all. He was so angry last afternoon that he was done with it.
Moreover, in Aunt Lu's words, grandpa was so amazing that even him, his grandson, felt proud.
Hu Langzhong guessed that they were far away and shouted: "Su Ruyi, you are talking nonsense. I am a useless doctor in the countryside. How can I be worthy of paying a hundred taels of silver to become a disciple? If this word spreads, won't I become an old liar? Already?"
He is very concerned about his reputation. If a doctor has a bad reputation, who will seek medical treatment from him?
He knows every household in these ten miles and eight villages, and every household knows him. How can he make money by visiting doctors if this nonsense spreads?
Su Ruyi said: "Why is it not worth it? Uncle Hu, you have been practicing medicine all your life, and you have accumulated this good reputation bit by bit. The doctors in those big places may not be as good as you!"
"That's impossible. He is a doctor from a big place, and he has learned more skills than me."
Hu Langzhong shook his head. He had lived in Xinghua Village all his life and practiced medicine in these villages all his life. How could he compare to doctors in big places?
"Anyway, I think Uncle Hu is very capable. Otherwise, why would I spend ten taels of silver to study with you for a year?"
She knew that the level a person was at would affect his or her evaluation of oneself. She always thought that the people above her were doing better than herself. In fact, after actually coming into contact with those people, she realized that they were just ordinary people. I am not too far behind them.
Hu Langzhong has been practicing medicine in the countryside all his life, so he thought that his medical skills are not as good as those in big places. But in fact, everyone treats people, and diseases in big places are not necessarily more complicated than those in the countryside. He goes to big places and does not necessarily treat diseases. It must be worse than others.
His good reputation is proof of that.
Hu Lang felt happy and worried at the same time. When he went back in the afternoon, he rummaged through the medical books that he had not read for several years and found them. He and his grandson began to read them together.
The doctor's wife was a little puzzled: "What are you doing? Are you suffering from some intractable disease?"
"well……"
Hu Langzhong sighed and told his wife what happened in the morning.
After hearing this, the doctor's wife nodded repeatedly, "If you were a little thicker, you wouldn't have been discouraged by that old lady Sun! This Su Ruyi is really not bad, she actually defends you as a master like this. I like her even more now." .”
Hu Langzhong glanced at his woman: "What do you know, that idiot Su Ruyi has put me on top of the stove now. I have no choice but to work harder. I have boasted all over the place and I can't take it back. In the future, if someone comes to see me, an old man who refuses to accept a disciple even for a hundred taels of silver, I must be worthy of that hundred taels of silver, right?"
The pressure is huge, the pressure is huge!
