Chapter 106 No One Wants to Learn
Wang screamed and dodged continuously, but none of her two sons spoke up for her and tried to stop Uncle Bai.
The truth is, Wang really deserved a beating, and Uncle Bai didn't really hit her with all his strength. The front end of the broom didn't hurt people as much as a stick or a fist.
After receiving a lesson, Wang finally became completely obedient. She hid in the house wiping her tears, while Uncle Bai took his two sons to apologize to Bai Jingzhou's family.
As his nephew, Bai Jingzhou was willing to teach his second son the craft and even bought a few piglets for his son to practice on. In the end, he even gave one to his family. Uncle Bai felt that this was very thoughtful of him.
Uncle Bai is not so shameless as to covet the money and things that Master Bai Jingzhou gives to Bai Jingzhou.
Together with his two sons, he sincerely apologized to Bai Jingzhou's family on behalf of Wang.
Ning Cuizhi felt very embarrassed by his serious attitude. After all, she had just complained to her sister-in-law about Wang's strange behavior. Now that Uncle Bai came to apologize, she couldn't help feeling a little guilty.
She waved her hands vigorously, "Brother, don't be like this. The same goes for Jingtai and Jingming. You did nothing wrong. As for my sister-in-law, to be honest, she came over and talked nonsense. I definitely wouldn't tolerate her. I fought back on my own at the time."
Bai Jingzhou also said: "Yes, this matter is over when my aunt left my family. We won't think too much about it and think that you and my two cousins have the same idea."
When Uncle Bai and his two sons heard this, they felt even more guilty. Wang was their family member, and they were also partly responsible for the other party's mistakes. However, Bai Jingzhou's family was very understanding of them, and most importantly, they still believed in them as always.
Uncle Bai said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, I will definitely control her in the future. If she goes out and makes up stories about your family and Wenxuan's family, I will let her go back to her parents' home with a divorce letter."
After he expressed his stance, Bai Jingzhou's family felt relieved, because he would definitely tell Wang this, and after Wang stepped on his landmine, he would definitely do as he said and divorce Wang and send her back to her parents' home.
As for Wang, she knew Uncle Bai's stubbornness better than anyone else. As long as she wanted to continue staying in the Bai family, she would definitely restrain herself.
Bai Jingzhou didn't want to continue the current topic, so he said to Uncle Bai: "Uncle, my family now has cows and new farm tools. From now on, you and my second uncle can come and get them anytime you want."
After a pause, he continued, "Anyway, our three families have always been farming together. If my family has these things, it means that your family and my second uncle's family also have them."
Uncle Bai felt even more ashamed when he heard this. He looked at his nephew and then at his greedy wife, who was really living a dog's life at her age.
Bai Chong, who had just come back from collecting herbs, listened to what was said and immediately guessed what was going on, suddenly said, "Brother, Jingtai, Jingming, if any of your younger generations want to learn medicine in the future, I can bring them with me and teach them little by little."
Bai Jingzhou said that he would compile all the skills taught by his master into a medical book. He did not dare to tell anyone else for fear of bringing disaster to his family, but he was willing to share his knowledge with the children of the first wife for free.
He said, "To be honest, I've improved my medical skills a lot this year thanks to Jingzhou's help. Although I'm definitely not as good as Jingzhou's master, my skills are enough for the children to learn for several years. As long as my nephews and nieces can endure the hardship of learning medicine, I don't mind teaching them everything I know."
Bai Jingzhou's two cousins all refused. Bai Jingming said, "Forget it. I think being a pig butcher is good enough."
Their family was well off. When he and his elder brother were young, their father sent them to a private school. However, after several years in the school, neither of them could read well, and they couldn't even recognize all the characters...
To study medicine, one has to memorize medical books. Not only that, but one also has to take certain risks and go into the mountains to collect herbs. Occasionally, one will encounter strange family members of patients, and as a doctor one will have to be scolded and endure the humiliation. Just thinking about it makes Bai Jingming feel that it is very hard.
The most important thing is that in their rural area, your medical treatment is basically free, there is no consultation fee, and the price of herbal medicine is also very low. All you can earn in the end is the hard-earned money from collecting herbs and making medicine over the years.
In comparison, he might as well just farm honestly. At least farming is not dangerous, and he doesn't have to work hard and get scolded or bullied.
As for learning so much in one go that they can work in a county clinic, forget it. They are so old already. They can't just study for ten years and then go to the county to ask if there is any clinic willing to hire them when they are almost thirty.
Don't they have their own nephews and apprentices who have been brought up since childhood? Why should they use their own family members when they don't use them?
Most importantly, can they just ignore the housework for the next ten years? If they don't, their whole family will starve to death. If they do, how can they find the time and energy to study medicine?
Bai Jingtai was not as smart as his brother, but like his brother, he did not want to learn anything. He said, "Forget it. I am already a father. Instead of studying medicine, I might as well do more carpentry work."
As for the fact that he was not good at studying, he and Bai Jingming tacitly did not mention it.
Uncle Bai glared at his two sons in dismay, while Bai Chong smiled and came to the rescue of his two nephews, "Brother, you, Jingtai, and Jingming can stay at my house for dinner tonight. Jingzhou happened to bring back three pounds of pork yesterday."
Ning Cuizhi also said, "Yes, just stay at my house and eat. I'll ask the kids to call their parents over as well."
Uncle Bai shook his head, "No, we have something else to do at home, so we'll go home now."
In fact, it was not that there was something wrong with his family, but that there was a person in his family who was used to making trouble. Uncle Bai was afraid that if they stayed outside for too long, Wang would return to her old ways and find trouble with his eldest daughter-in-law.
Bai Jingtai was also worried about his wife who stayed at home to take care of the children. Both father and son said they would not stay. Even though Bai Jingming wanted to stay, he could only suppress his greed and go home with his father and brother.
The next day, Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan went into the mountains together and went to the small valley to harvest the grown radishes, cabbages, squash, winter melons and other vegetables. Bai Jingzhou also mentioned to Gu Wenxuan that many people came to his house to inquire about their "secret to wealth."
Gu Wenxuan smiled, "Many of my fellow villagers have come to visit me. Fortunately, you had anticipated this and prepared a polite way for me to reject them."
Bai Jingzhou sighed, "Let's wait a little longer. Once we are fully established, we can help more relatives and neighbors."
