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

Chapter 345

Chunnuan stood in the courtyard of Chunshan Medical College, watching the group of disciples practice the Eight-Forged Brocade with great satisfaction.

In this era, most young women stayed indoors and rarely went out. They were refined and elegant, but little did they know that such a constitution made them most susceptible to illness.

Getting sick can easily lead to death.

Moreover, women also have to go through the difficulties of childbirth, and if their health is poor, they are less likely to survive this ordeal.

A doctor not only heals others, but also heals himself.

Having a healthy body and being physically strong is essential for effective medical care.

How can someone who is sickly treat others?

Spring warmth not only teaches them to learn medicine and diagnose, but also teaches them to cultivate their character and temperament.

Every day during breaks between classes, we have to practice the Eight-Step Brocade Exercise.

At first, these girls were shy and embarrassed to gesture in front of strangers.

It wasn't until they saw Chunnuan, drenched in sweat, her face glowing like a peach blossom, radiant and full of energy—more so than these young ladies—that they truly believed what the master had said was true.

"I hope you can stick to practicing for a period of time every day from now on, as this will be beneficial to your health." Chunnuan smiled slightly at these delicate young ladies. "Studying at Chunshan Medical College will not only broaden your knowledge but also help you grow stronger."

The little girls were a bit shy.

They were actually afraid of girls who were big and rough, like the girls from farming families who did manual labor and had a rough appearance. Such girls were not easy to find a good husband.

However, they had also heard that the first batch of senior sisters all had good prospects, with some even becoming female doctors for noblemen in the palace.

Especially Mr. Zhong now, who was originally a concubine's daughter, was favored by his stepmother and registered under her name and is about to marry into his stepmother's family, and he is marrying a very promising second son of the legitimate wife. What does that mean?

This shows that learning more really is beneficial.

Chunnuan glanced at them; these girls, their vision was still so short-sighted.

Of course, it's understandable that marriage is ultimately a woman's final destination.

Not everyone can understand the importance of learning skills like Zhong Xiuxiu and Lei Ying.

The mountain you rely on crumbles, and the person who relies on you runs away.

Only by becoming excellent enough can you earn the respect of others and become the master of your own destiny.

Looking back on her journey, Chunnuan realized that she had never liked crowding around. While her sisters played, she would be in the study reading books and learning about herbs in the pharmacy.

Even though her grandmother and the others didn't like it, Chunnuan didn't care at all and happily tinkered with the medicinal herbs.

Of course, he also caused trouble quite often, and almost got punished by his grandmother with family discipline.

Fortunately, she had her grandfather's support, who encouraged her to take on any risks.

After my grandfather's accident, the Zhang family quickly came to break off the engagement, which greatly angered my grandmother.

However, Chunnuan wasn't angry. She could understand the Zhang family's behavior. Everyone looks out for themselves. Of course, she also knew that the Zhang family member had actually changed his mind long ago and married his childhood sweetheart whom he had always longed for.

This result was not unexpected for her, and she felt fortunate about it.

If she were to enter the Zhang family's home and then be annoyed by them, she would be completely helpless. With her personality, she could easily get sick from being cooped up in the inner courtyard!

My grandmother once thought that she would marry into the Zhang family and then they would go to Sichuan.

After being rejected by the Zhang family, she led her entire family to Sichuan. Only her grandmother couldn't hold on and didn't return; the rest of them went back to the capital, which meant she hadn't failed her grandfather's expectations. But fortune and misfortune are intertwined; who could have imagined that she would marry Zhao Minghua in Sichuan?

Zhao Minghua, the most unreliable young master of Baicaotang, always appeared when she needed him most, always quietly doing things for her and protecting her.

Everyone says he's a spoiled brat, but only he knows how outstanding he is.

He still thrived in Beijing.

It's no exaggeration to say that the top scholar was increasingly taking his advice seriously.

He was able to accurately grasp and analyze the advantages and disadvantages of both the business world and the political arena.

Now that Chun Ning has taken up an official position, he also enjoys having tea and chatting with his brother-in-law, Zhao.

Chunnuan knew that they weren't just talking about the weather, but more about reality.

If Chun Ning is feeling lost, talking to her brother-in-law will make her feel much better.

There are countless men in the world, and many of them are outstanding, but Zhao Minghua is the most suitable for her!
Just then, the gatekeeper announced that a young master surnamed Zhang had come to visit.

"This is not a place for receiving guests or visiting friends."

Looking at the name on the invitation, Chunnuan felt as if a lifetime had passed.

Who would have thought that a casual thought about the past would lead to an old friend actually visiting?

People don't visit temples without a reason, but spring warmth won't let him in.

This place is full of female disciples, a group of girls aged twelve to eighteen. What's the point of letting an outsider in?
Even when her husband came, she quickly took him away.

"Did you ask what the matter was?"

"Sir, that young master Zhang said he was an old acquaintance of yours. He said his wife was having a difficult childbirth and he came specifically to ask you for help."

Spring is here... I really overestimate her vision.

What did he think?

"Sir, that young master is shouting at the door."

The servants who came to report were too embarrassed to look at Chunnuan. It turned out that the man had been the master's fiancé.

However, what he said to the gentleman was really unreasonable!

How could you be the kind of person who is so petty?

He actually said "sir"...

"Shut up!" Zhong Xiuxiu stepped forward to argue with the crowd causing trouble at the academy gate. "What did you say? That the teacher harbors a grudge against you and is deliberately retaliating by not going to deliver your wife's baby?"

"Who do you think you are? A royal relative, a hot commodity?" Zhong Xiuxiu wasn't good at arguing, but when she was furious, she could still retort with a sentence or two: "What have you done to deserve Mr.'s resentment? What did you do to offend him that he still hates you after all these years?"

"To deliver your wife's baby? You want to hire my master?" Zhong Xiuxiu sneered. "Go and find out if Princess Huining hired my master to deliver her baby."

"You all use the guise of healing and saving lives, but in reality, you are all seeking fame and fortune while refusing to help those in need."

“That’s the academy’s educational philosophy, not something the teacher has to do,” Zhong Xiuxiu said. “My teacher never seeks fame or fortune. No matter how much you try to provoke her, you can’t get her to do it. The teacher has her principles. This is a place for the teacher to teach students, not a clinic. Please leave.”

"You're just standing by and watching someone die!" Young Master Zhang's face turned ashen with rage. "Your Chunshan Women's Medical College is nothing but a front. You use the guise of medical education to do who knows what despicable things you're up to..."

"Guards, take this man to the authorities." Zhong Xiuxiu showed him no mercy: "Chunshan Women's Medical College was established by imperial decree of the Empress Dowager. How dare you spit nonsense here and tarnish the reputation of the medical college?"
