Fang Yi poured himself a drink, feeling he didn’t need to be overly polite. Taking a few sips of alcohol in this cold winter could warm the body and stimulate the blood flow.
Then, Fang Yi didn’t hold back and started picking up food with his chopsticks.
Madam Wu, smiling happily, kept urging Fang Yi to eat more and asked how the food tasted. Naturally, Fang Yi gave a thumbs-up, praising it.
anwhile, Pudgy was busy gnawing on a chicken leg. After he finished one, Madam Wu would pass another one to him, which kept Pudgy content and smiling blissfully.
Watching this, Fang Yi couldn’t help but grin. After Pudgy finished a chicken leg, Fang Yi used his chopsticks to pass him another one.
Pudgy paused, looking dumbfounded.
Madam Wu said to Pudgy, "Niu Er, go ahead, and from now on, call him Brother Xiaotian, okay?"
With Madam Wu’s words, Pudgy no longer seed afraid. He accepted the chicken leg and began eating with a broad smile, occasionally sneaking peeks at Fang Yi, perhaps not entirely sure what Brother Xiaotian ant.
Suddenly, Fang Yi recalled that Madam Wu used to have a son, presumably around his age, yet he hadn’t seen him here.
But Fang Yi didn’t ntion it. He had already taken the alias Fang Xiaotian and was no longer Fang Yi, so he couldn’t bring it up himself.
Despite his curiosity, Fang Yi had to hold back and change the subject.
"Madam Wu, let ask straightforwardly, is there sothing wrong with Niu Er’s mind?" Fang Yi indicated his head.
"There’s nothing improper about it. My Niu Er has ntal issues; everyone in the neighborhood knows it." Madam Wu’s expression turned slightly bitter, "If it weren’t for his brother, Niu Er wouldn’t have ended up like this... Well, I shouldn’t bother you with this. Co on, eat up."
Fang Yi replied with an "Oh" and continued eating and drinking, but he was a bit surprised. He initially thought Pudgy’s condition was Innate, but from Madam Wu’s tone, it seed to be caused by a later incident.
However, Fang Yi didn’t continue to ask, fearing it would bring up painful mories for Madam Wu.
After a while, Madam Wu casually asked Fang Yi, since he’s renting this dical Hall, if he plans to continue running it or do so renovations for a new business.
This indeed struck Fang Yi.
Right!
Should the dical Hall continue operations?
Or...
Start sothing new?
In truth, Fang Yi had many money-making skills: treating patients, construction, fashion design, music, or even cooking, Fang Yi knew a bit of everything.
While others might have one specialty, Fang Yi possessed many skills; so were forced upon him by his ntor, and so he learned out of his own interest.
This versatility was also a crucial factor in Fang Yi’s successful exploits abroad.
As the saying goes, skills never weigh you down!
Fang Yi had so many talents that Madam Wu’s question made him hesitate about what he should pursue.
Fang Yi needed to go to the famous dical Hall to gather herbs, which would require money. Those herbs were expensive, and Fang Yi only had over ten thousand yuan with him. Expenses like living costs also needed coverage.
Consequently, after thinking for a while, Fang Yi told Madam Wu the dical Hall would remain open.
To his surprise, Madam Wu was imdiately overjoyed, assuring Fang Yi he shouldn’t worry about business. Later, she would go tell the neighbors about the dical Hall’s opening, and they would surely co and support it.
