Chapter 251

"Every time I ask you to help our Xiao Vi find a job, you make excuses. In your eyes, is our daughter not even as good as He Tian?" Qi Yingying questioned her husband.

He Zhifei felt a headache coming on.

What did she understand?

Xiao Tian was promising, which was why he was willing to lend a hand. As for Wei Wei, who couldn’t do anything and would be a burden wherever she went, what if something went wrong after he helped?

Moreover, if she threw tantrums and used his name to get special treatment from others.

What would that look like?

It wasn’t that he hadn’t tried to manage it; he had, and that’s why he made this decision.

"In any case, don’t come to me about He Wei’s matters. Not only me, but you’re not allowed to interfere either, understood? Don’t introduce her to your workplace.

If I find out you’ve done so, don’t blame me for turning my back on you."

He Zhifei warned his wife.

Qi Yingying felt even more aggrieved. She knew it would be like this.

Last time, he also forbade her from doing anything for their daughter.

"What about He Ming and He Cheng? They are your sons, at least try to find them good jobs so they can settle down soon. Our family has almost become a laughingstock these past two years.

Old He, even if you don’t do it for the children, do it for our reputation."

Qi Yingying pleaded with her husband.

He Zhifei refused again, finding these two even more troublesome.

In short, it was impossible.

"Yingying, stop speaking up for them. If my children were capable, they would find good jobs on their own. If they aren’t, I won’t intervene.

I educated them all the same when they were young.

Look at how they turned out!

What kind of talk is that!

Now look at Xiao Tian?"

Thinking of his nephew, He Zhifei felt disheartened by his own family's lack of effort.

Since nothing came of it, Qi Yingying decided not to press the matter further.

Anyway, asking would yield the same answer as before; it was better to stick to her original plan.

Thinking this, Qi Yingying urged him to go with her to the county: "Old He, we can put other things aside for now, but shouldn’t we bring our eldest son back?

Go buy tickets right now, let’s go find him.

This is our child, he can’t stay out there forever, can he?"

This was a serious matter.

He Zhifei also thought about it, but with so much on his plate, he was too busy.

"You still have leave, don’t you? Just file an application, and let’s take care of the child’s matter first." Qi Yingying was annoyed seeing he didn’t even want to do this.

"Aren’t you going to care for your own child?" Qi Yingying looked at him angrily.

"Alright, don’t get upset. Of course we’ll go. How about this, I’ll free up some time tomorrow, we’ll buy tickets tonight, and meet him tomorrow to bring him back.

Don’t worry, I will definitely make it up to him."

He Zhifei reassured his wife repeatedly.

Qi Yingying was satisfied: "That’s more like it. Let’s go buy tickets now."

In the provincial capital, the two prepared to buy tickets.

In the county.

Bai Xiuxiu and Wang Qinghe had already returned home, having just finished dinner.

Today was the day Wang Qinghe needed to go to the village, and Bai Xiuxiu was considering going along.

After all, they might leave for the provincial capital anytime, and she hadn’t seen Aunt Jinhua in a long time, so she should visit.

"Are you two going together today?" Old Lady Wei was worried seeing her daughter wanted to go as well.

It was dark outside, and she was afraid Xiuxiu might fall.

"Mom, I’m going back to the village. Aunt Jinhua was very kind to me before, and I’m busy now, so it’s a good time to visit." Bai Xiuxiu explained.

"That’s true. Mom will pack some eggs for you, don’t go empty-handed."

The old lady acted quickly and soon had everything ready.

Bai Xiuxiu followed Wang Qinghe to the village. Once they arrived, Wang Qinghe first took his wife to Aunt Jinhua’s house.

Chen Jinhua hadn’t seen them in a while and was very happy to see them return.

"Xiuxiu, Qinghe, come in quickly."

"Auntie, I won't come in. I need to go see Uncle Zhang," Wang Qinghe said, not following them inside. He had to hurry and let Uncle Zhang check the medicine he had made.

If he were to go to the provincial city later, there would be more opportunities for him to get involved in traditional Chinese medicine. He needed to learn as much as he could before then.

Chen Jinhua knew that Wang Qinghe was close with the village doctor, Old Man Zhang, so she didn’t insist on him staying.

She pulled Bai Xiuxiu into the house.

"You came at just the right time. Your Uncle Chen and I were thinking of going to the county town in a few days to visit you all. Our village has made a bit of money recently, and you haven’t received your share yet.

Although both of your grain rations have been transferred to the county, it was Qinghe who came up with this idea, so we can’t leave you out.

This money is yours. It’s not much, but it’s a token of our village’s appreciation.

Take it with peace of mind."

As Chen Jinhua spoke, she handed the money and tickets to Bai Xiuxiu.

It was eight yuan and ten pounds of grain tickets.

Eight yuan was a considerable amount at that time.

Bai Xiuxiu didn’t refuse. Wang Qinghe had helped Aunt Jinhua and the team leader, and if she didn’t accept the money, they would still feel indebted to them.

Seeing Bai Xiuxiu take the money, Chen Jinhua smiled even more broadly.

She happily accepted the eggs Bai Xiuxiu had brought and then chatted with her for a long while about family matters.

On the other side, when Wang Qinghe arrived at Old Man Zhang’s place, he gave him the medicine he had made according to the formula provided.

Old Man Zhang smelled the pills, checked their color and weight, and was greatly surprised.

He knew Wang Qinghe had talent, but the speed at which he read medical books and the care he took in preparing the medicine were truly remarkable.

"Uncle Zhang, is what I made up to standard?" Wang Qinghe asked.

Old Man Zhang nodded but couldn’t help sighing, "We don’t really have the qualifications to say whether it’s up to standard or not. If you really want to study traditional Chinese medicine, you should go to a bigger place.

To see the world.

I can only teach you so much, but the knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine goes far beyond this."

"Uncle Zhang, I might leave here soon. There’s a chance I’ll go to the provincial city. If such an opportunity arises, I will continue to study traditional Chinese medicine."

Wang Qinghe had mainly come to say goodbye.

He was already prepared to go to the provincial city and hadn’t expressed his intentions to the He family to gain more benefits from them.

Those relatives he had never met didn’t matter to him.

"Provincial city? Good, very good. Going to a big place like the provincial city is excellent. By the way, I have an old friend there. I’ll write a letter to him on your behalf."

Old Man Zhang was very excited.

Going to a big place like the provincial city wouldn’t be a waste of Wang Qinghe’s talent.

He quickly wrote the letter and left Wang Qinghe with a new prescription.

After getting the items, Wang Qinghe went to Chen’s house to pick up his wife.

On the way, Wang Qinghe told Bai Xiuxiu about his plans.

Bai Xiuxiu listened quietly, feeling more hopeful about the future.

The next morning.

Before Bai Xiuxiu and Wang Qinghe could even step out, Qi Yingying knocked on their door.

Along with Qi Yingying was a tall man.
