The legitimate daughter returns to the capital and embarks on a splendid life, tearing apart the fak

Hearing Yun Jin say this, Xia Hong became happy and nodded repeatedly: "Miss, I'm willing. Don't worry, Miss, I will definitely study hard and never let you down."

Yun Jin smiled and patted her hand: "You don't need to feel too much pressure. I don't plan for you to become a doctor. I just need you to learn how to identify herbs and know their general properties. We'll have a lot more to do in the future, and we'll need someone knowledgeable by our side."

Xia Hong looked at her with bright eyes and nodded vigorously: "This servant understands, Miss."

The carriage soon stopped in front of Weicaotang.

Yun Jin got out of the car and asked Chun Xi to help Granny Jin wait in the car while she led Xia Hong inside.

Manager Yang was doing accounts behind the counter when he saw Yun Jin. He rushed over excitedly and said, "Miss, you've finally arrived! The hair-growth kits have been selling extremely well these past two days, with people lining up every day. The frostbite cream is also selling well, even though it's cheap, because there's no limit on the quantity."

Yun Jin nodded, followed him to the back room, sat down, took a sip of tea offered by the shop assistant, and asked, "Uncle Yang, do you have a lot of medicine for treating typhoid fever and influenza in the shop?"

Manager Yang quickly brought over the account book, opened it, and placed it in front of Yun Jin. Pointing to a page, he said, "Miss, please look. These are medicines for treating typhoid fever and the flu. A few days ago, seeing that it was cold, I specially transferred a batch from a neighboring shop, and I also had someone go and restock." He paused, then tentatively asked, "Miss, do you have any plans?"

Yun Jin carefully examined the ledger. The names of the medicinal herbs were clearly listed, and the quantities were sufficient. She was very satisfied.

Manager Yang is indeed very good at business; his maternal grandmother left him a talented person.

She closed the ledger, looked up, and said, "Uncle Yang, this is a cold winter, and there will be a lot of patients with typhoid and influenza. We must not raise prices at any time; I don't want our shop to make money by dishonest means."

Manager Yang nodded hurriedly, his expression solemn: "Don't worry, Miss, I'll remember."

Yun Jin continued, "In addition, if poor people come to buy medicine for typhoid fever or colds but can't afford it, they can work for the shop to offset the cost of the medicine."

Shopkeeper Yang was taken aback: "Why not just give it away for free? Aren't medicines and porridges given out directly?"

Yun Jin shook her head and patiently explained, "Free medicine is charity. Only medicine earned through one's own labor has meaning. Moreover, they won't cherish medicine that's free. They'll take the medicine today and come back for more tomorrow when they run out. But if you ask them to do something, even just sweeping the floor or moving goods, they'll feel that they earned it themselves, not that it was given to them as charity."

Manager Yang nodded thoughtfully, and after a while said, "I understand. Don't worry, Miss, I will definitely take care of it."

Yun Jin added, "There's one more thing." She pointed to Xia Hong and said to Manager Yang, "Uncle Yang, her name is Xia Hong. I'd like her to stay in the shop, assist the doctor, learn some basic medical skills, and become familiar with the herbs."

Shopkeeper Yang looked at Xia Hong, somewhat troubled: "Miss, if it's about getting her familiar with herbs, I can have a waiter teach her. But if it's about learning medicine... that might not be so easy. Doctor Liu's medical skills are passed down only to men, so he might not agree."

Yun Jin said, "There's no need to take her on as an apprentice. Just have her assist. When Doctor Liu is seeing patients, have her help with taking notes, serving tea and water, and organizing medicinal herbs. How much she learns depends on her own abilities."

Shopkeeper Yang still hesitated, rubbing his hands together: "Miss, it's not that I don't want to help, it's just that Doctor Liu is stubborn, I'm afraid..."

Yun Jin didn't press the matter. She stood up and said, "How about this, you take me to see Doctor Liu, and I'll talk to him myself. If he's unwilling, I won't force him."

Manager Yang had no choice but to nod: "Alright."

He led Yun Jin and Xia Hong to the clinic.

Doctor Liu was taking a patient's pulse when he saw the shopkeeper and his men approaching. Without looking up, he simply said, "Please wait a moment."

Yun Jin wasn't in a hurry and stood quietly to the side waiting.

After the patient left, Manager Yang hurriedly stepped forward and introduced her to Doctor Liu: "Doctor Liu, this is our shop owner, Miss Yun." He then explained his purpose: "Miss Yun wants to keep this girl in the shop so she can learn some basic medical skills from you and become familiar with herbs."

Doctor Liu raised his head, glanced at Yun Jin, then at Xia Hong, and frowned.

He put down his pen, shook his head and said, "Manager, even when Madam Lan was in charge, she never forced me to do anything. You don't need to make things difficult for me, my medical skills are not passed on to women."

Yun Jin remained calm and sat down opposite him, her tone composed yet earnest: "Dr. Liu, wouldn't it be more convenient for a woman to treat another woman? There are some ailments that men find inconvenient to treat. If there were a female apprentice in the shop, wouldn't it be a win-win situation when encountering female patients?"

Dr. Liu was taken aback, opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

Yun Jin continued, "I don't want you to take her as a disciple, nor do I want you to pass on any secret techniques. I just want her to assist me, serving tea and water, and organizing medicinal herbs. How much she learns depends on her own abilities. If you find her a nuisance, you can let her go at any time."

Dr. Liu remained silent for a moment, then glanced at Xia Hong.

Xia Hong quickly stepped forward, bowed respectfully to him, and said in a clear voice, "Doctor Liu, I am not afraid of hardship or fatigue, and I can do any kind of work. Please let me stay."

Doctor Liu looked at her, then at Yun Jin, and finally sighed, "Fine. Let her stay. But let me make this clear from the start: I won't deliberately teach her. How much she learns depends on her own abilities."

Yun Jin stood up and bowed to him: "Thank you, Doctor Liu."

Xia Hong quickly followed suit and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Doctor Liu."

Yun Jin took out another prescription from her sleeve, placed it on the table, and pushed it in front of Doctor Liu: "This is a prescription for regulating a woman's qi and blood. It's a small token of my appreciation. Doctor Liu, if you find it useful, please use it."

Doctor Liu looked down and his eyes lit up. It was a perfectly formulated prescription, far superior to any similar one he had ever seen. He looked up at Yun Jin, his gaze now filled with a complex mix of emotions.

"Miss, this prescription..."

Yun Jin smiled and said, "Please accept this, Dr. Liu. I'll be entrusting Xia Hong to you from now on."

Dr. Liu nodded, carefully put away the prescription, and looked at Xia Hong with much kinder eyes.

Yun Jin gave Xia Hong a few more instructions, telling her to study hard and listen to Doctor Liu, before turning and leaving the clinic.

Manager Yang followed behind, lowering his voice, "Miss, your prescription..."

Yun Jin waved her hand and said calmly, "Problems that can be solved with money aren't problems at all. Doctor Liu accepting Xia Hong is more worthwhile than anything else."

Manager Yang nodded repeatedly, his opinion of the young lady rising even higher.

After leaving Weicaotang, Yunjin boarded the carriage.

Grandma Jin leaned against the car wall, already asleep, a slight smile still on her lips, perhaps dreaming of something.
