The Daily Life of a Down-on-Hard-Life Medicine Girl Supporting Her Family

Chapter 325

The third sister was carried away in a small sedan chair carried by two people.

Before getting into the sedan chair, she was wearing only pink clothes.

Zhong Xiuxiu went to school with her eyes red and swollen, somewhat absent-minded.

Chunnuan noticed this situation.

"Zhong Xiuxiu, come to my study after school."

"Yes, sir."

In the study, Chunnuan gently invited her to sit down.

"Have you encountered any difficulties?"

Chunnuan not only diligently taught her students medicine, but also cared about their personal lives and mental well-being.

In Zhao Minghua's words, he was extremely protective of his own, especially of his own!
Her disciples are not allowed to be bullied, not even by their own parents.

"No."

"My eyes are red and swollen without you."

"It's like this, sir..."

Some things may be family scandals, but you can hide them from others. However, there is absolutely nothing you can hide from your husband.

For Zhong Xiuxiu, her husband was even closer than her own parents.

He then recounted Zhong Xiuyao's story.

Chunnuan was stunned for a long time after hearing this.

As a woman, she felt heartbroken for Zhong Xiuyao.

"A higher rank can crush a person." This shameless old man Lin, with dirt reaching his neck, still dares to covet a pretty sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl. He's utterly shameless!
"Sir, is the fate of all women so tragic?"

You can't choose who you're born into, and you can't choose who you marry.

"Since ancient times, marriage has been arranged by parents and matchmakers. We can't help with this at all."

Chunnuan greatly admired Zhong Xiuxiu's approach: "It's good that you're using your knowledge to help your sisters in the family."

"I was in a desperate situation and had no other choice. I hope I can help Third Sister... No, I hope Third Sister will never need it. If I do need it, it will make me feel better."

“Yes, it’s better to be prepared for a thousand days than to be unprepared for one day.” Chunnuan said, “Fortunately, you changed your destiny through your own efforts.”

For a woman, being able to contribute to her family is a form of protection.

"At present, my abilities are limited, so I should protect myself. Only by making myself stronger can I protect the people I care about."

"Yes, sir, your disciple will follow your teachings."

Zhong Xiuxiu was very glad that she made a wise choice at the time and came to Chunshan Women's Medical College to study medicine with her husband.

You only know the joy and happiness in it when you truly immerse yourself in it.

"You stayed up all night last night, so you should go home and rest early today."

"Disciple is not tired."

"Go ahead, there are no new classes this afternoon." Chunnuan said, "The master can only lead you to the door, but the cultivation is up to each individual. Learning medicine is not something to be rushed, but rather requires long-term persistence and effort. Only by taking good care of your own body can you take good care of the people you care about."

"Thank you, sir!"

Zhong Xiuxiu thanked the gentleman again and then returned home.

Inside the mansion, everything remained the same as before, as if nothing had changed since Zhong Xiuyao left.

This made Zhong Xiuxiu feel even worse.

"Fourth Miss, my young lady is already resting."

"No way, what time is it? Why is Fifth Sister already resting?" Fourth Miss Zhong Xiulan insisted on coming in: "Don't stop me, I have something to discuss with Fifth Sister."

She had been waiting all day, and it was only with great difficulty that her fifth sister finally came back.

"You know, Fifth Sister, she's just studying medicine, but she acts like she's really going to become a doctor. Is it really necessary to work so hard and be so serious?"

You have to cross the green tangerine tree to enter the house.

"Fourth Miss..." Qingju was a little angry. What did she know?

My young lady didn't sleep a wink last night, and she even went to school this morning. Does she think everyone is as idle as she is?
"Qingju, let Fourth Sister in."

Zhong Xiuxiu knew that her fourth sister was a brainless person; she would do whatever she wanted, regardless of whether you enjoyed it or not.

I can't sleep if I don't let her in.

"Yes, ma'am."

Qingju was very dissatisfied, but there was nothing she could do, so she had no choice but to let her into the inner room.

"Did you know that Luo Xia didn't go? It was Luo Qiu who went to the Lin residence with the Third Miss."

The fourth young lady's maid, Tang'er, whispered to Qingju, "Luo Qiu is really unlucky. Going to the Lin mansion with the third young lady is not a chance to enjoy life, but a chance to suffer."

"How can you say that?"

Qingju had heard Madam's words early in the morning, so she naturally already knew, but she wouldn't tell Tang'er.

how to say?

Like master, like servant; the fourth young lady's servant, Tang'er, is exactly the same person as her.

"We servants are here to share both good and bad fortune with our masters. How can we be picky?"

"That's not what I meant..." Tang'er quickly said, "What I meant was, the Third Miss's life will definitely not be good if she goes to the Lin family. Just think about it, how old is Lord Lin..."

"Shut up, if you want to die, don't drag me down with you."

Qingju retorted, "When did the rules of this manor change? Are we servants allowed to discuss our masters' affairs now?"

"I didn't, I just..." Tang'er said anxiously, "Never mind, I'm not talking to you anymore."

"Even if you're willing to talk, I'm not willing to listen."

Qingju stood there silently.

She was telling the truth; the lady of the house was very strict.

Although there was never any instance of servants being beaten or scolded without cause in the household, if anyone violated the family rules, they had no one to blame but themselves. At best, they would be punished according to family law; at worst, they would be sold off.

Aunt Qin was deeply favored by the master in the mansion. Now that the third young lady had been sent by the master to the Lin family to be a concubine, the master felt guilty towards Aunt Qin and had to spoil her even more.

Tang'er was asking for trouble by gossiping about the Third Miss behind her back. If Aunt Qin finds out, she'll definitely get what's coming to her.

Even the fourth young lady didn't benefit from it.

Inside the room, the fourth young lady, Zhong Xiulan, looked at Zhong Xiuxiu.

"Fifth sister, what's wrong with your eyes? Don't tell me you cried because you couldn't bear to see your third sister."

"What do you think?"

"Your third sister is of marriageable age, so there's no need for you to be so sad."

Zhong Xiuxiu glanced at Zhong Xiulan indifferently, so her third sister's efforts meant nothing to her!

It's truly disheartening.

"Fifth sister, when second sister got married, mother gave her a dowry of 1,200 taels of silver, but third sister got no dowry. What do you think mother gave her?"

Is this a ploy to trick me into revealing information?
"I don't know. Mother is always fair. She will naturally give my third sister her share."

“Alas, my third sister has gotten married, and next it will be our turn…” Zhong Xiulan sighed, “Our lives as women are like dandelions, wherever the wind blows, we never know what kind of husband we will meet.”

Zhong Xiuxiu... she really knows how to dream.

And you know what? Sometimes people who aren't very bright are actually quite lucky.

At least, she was of average appearance and lacked talent, so the chances of her being chosen as a concubine were much smaller.

"Fifth Sister, why are you looking at me like that?"

Seeing Zhong Xiuxiu staring at her, Zhong Xiulan asked in confusion.

“If Fourth Sister wants to get married, she should go to Mother. I’m still young and have to go to school, so I’m not in a hurry.” Zhong Xiuxiu directly told her to leave: “I’m a little tired, Fourth Sister, please go back.”

"Honestly, you're just studying medicine, not taking the imperial examinations. Why are you taking it so seriously?"

Zhong Xiuxiu ignored her. How could a sparrow know the ambition of a swan?
