Chapter 330: Old Master Ji Takes A Fancy To Yao Yao

This old woman had now identified her as a potential granddaughter-in-law, who even had a strong interest in medicine. Her husband would certainly appreciate her!
“Hahahaha, Yao Yao! You’re a grown girl but you are so interested in medicine. That’s very rare. Let me tell you! Studying medicine is great! Studying medicine is so interesting! You can treat someone and save a life, or heal an injury, right? It’s such a noble profession! If you’re interested, you can visit Grandfather Ji more often and he can teach you.”
Grandfather Ji lived nearby. He was responsible for treating those who worked in the area, and their families. It was considered a specialized job and he had his own specialized clinic.
It was not far from the Gu house. Gu Qingyao very much enjoyed coming here.
This old man was also versed in Chinese medicine. But unlike Gu Chonghua, Grandfather Ji had also studied western medicine. There were more cases here and he saw many patients. If Gu Qingyao stayed here for a while, she would not need to worry that her medical skills were inferior, or seem inexperienced.
“Thank you, Grandfather Ji. I will certainly come again and help you. Grandfather, please teach me more. I’m really interested in this!”
The old man was delighted to hear that. “Wow! Great! Grandfather will teach you! Grandfather will teach you!”
The old man beamed at Gu Qingyao. His eyes gleamed with a sharp light!
Mhm!
He would teach her medicine first, and build a relationship with her. After that, she would naturally become her granddaughter-in-law, hahaha!
Gu Qingyao grew busier over the next few days. During the day, she cooked at home. She cooked three meals a day and did not miss a single one. For the rest of the time, she guided the two children in their reading and writing.
She did not do much housework. Her third cousin and third uncle could not bear for her to work too hard. They washed their own clothes every night, after they got home. Third Uncle also washed Third Aunt’s clothes as well and Third Cousin washed the two children’s clothes.
But if he ran out of time, she would wash the children’s clothes.
After half a month, she still had not washed her third uncle or third aunt’s clothes even once.
Besides that, she went to Grandfather Ji’s little clinic to study medicine. She also took time out to visit the black market twice.
There were several black markets of various sizes in this part of the city. They were much livelier than the one in the town near her hometown. Even though it was also a city, it could not compare to the ones here.
The prices here were slightly lower than in her hometown. It was probably because there were plenty of resources here. But there was also more demand, and there was no lack of wealthy people. Even those old people who had fallen on hard times used to be from wealthy families.
The important families on this side of the city naturally could not compare to the important families from a small town. Here, the older folks had better things, and in larger quantities.
Gu Qingyao had reaped a bountiful harvest recently.
That night, after everyone was asleep, Gu Qingyao hid in her interspace and studied a ruby necklace.
It was a top-quality ruby necklace. The gems were crimson and eye-catching, and of the deepest red. Gu Qingyao had fallen in love with it at first sight. She could not bear to put it down.
She had paid a heavy price for this necklace.
Five kilograms of bacon, three kilograms of pork ribs, two live fish, ten kilograms of flour, ten kilograms of rice, thirty eggs, ten apples and a bunch of grapes.
All these things in exchange for only one necklace.
But she could not help it. It was just too pretty. She had no choice!
The old man who had sold it to her definitely came from an excellent background. He was also as crafty as a fox. She had given him so many things, but he had only given her a necklace. The problem was that he had purposely told her that this necklace was part of a set. He also had bracelets, rings, earrings and a brooch…
Wow!
