When the girl ntioned dical skills, how could the old man An not notice the change in her expression?
The girl has grown up and has things she wants to do.
As An’an spoke, her mood beca a bit low, and she said, "Dad, if I learn dicine from Xue Zhiyi and beco a famous doctor, our family won’t face incidents like what happened to my sister."
As she spoke, An’an’s voice grew softer, tinged with a sob.
Hearing this, the old man An’s eyes reddened. It turned out his daughter had such thoughts. He said, "I’m not against you learning dicine, it’s just..."
"Dad!" Hearing this, An’an looked up at her father, wondering what he was worried about.
The old man An sighed, thought for a while, and decided to speak directly to his daughter, "Sigh, I’m afraid that if you spend too much ti with Xue Zhiyi, you’ll walk the sa path as your sister and be chard by him. It’s not that Xue Zhiyi is bad, but you’re still too young, and his age is really too old. I really don’t want to see you marry a man who could be your father."
If Xue Zhiyi looked old, it would be fine, but he happened to have a face that deceived about his age, which made the old man An think more.
Upon hearing this, An’an was completely stunned. She hadn’t expected her father to think this way.
She found it a bit funny; how could such a thing happen? That’s her sister’s man. She hadn’t even thought about it.
Besides, she’s just a kid, how could she consider a man old enough to be her father?
"Dad, don’t worry, I definitely won’t like him. Although he and my sister aren’t together, I still consider him my brother-in-law, and I can’t do such a thing. Besides, I’m so young; he’s over twenty years older than , and I don’t want to marry soone so old. I still want to find soone close to my age."
"Really? You truly think that way?" The old man An asked sowhat uncertainly.
"Dad, really, that’s what I think. Originally, there was a doctor Luo in Lin County who wanted to take as an apprentice, but I was afraid you wouldn’t be at ease. I thought you might be more at ease if I went with Xue Zhiyi. I didn’t expect to make you worry, so I won’t go with him but will go learn from that doctor Luo. Sister and her family are also in Lin County, so there will be soone to look after , and I won’t be deceived. What do you think, dad, is that okay?"
Hearing his daughter say this, the old man An realized he indeed was overthinking it. His daughter never thought about it that way; she just wanted to learn dicine.
But letting her go outside alone to learn from soone else would be even more dangerous, and that’s absolutely not acceptable. "No, it’s better to learn from Xiaoxue."
"..." An’an found herself in a dilemma. This wouldn’t work, that wouldn’t work, what would work?
Her father was worried about her and Xue Zhiyi, but it was impossible for anything to happen. How could she dispel her father’s worries? Suddenly, she had a bright idea and said, "Dad, what if I officially beco Xue Zhiyi’s apprentice? Even though I haven’t read many books, I know the saying ’once a teacher, forever a father,’ and if I make him my teacher and treat him as a father, then nothing like what you think will happen."
After thinking it through, the old man An thought this proposal was good. If they beca master and apprentice, absolutely nothing like what he feared would occur. "That would work. You can kowtow and formally beco his apprentice right here at ho."
