However, seeing Chun Nuan marry Zhao Minghua, a good husband, and gain the unanimous respect of the Zhao family, Doctor Chen felt that learning so dical skills was also a good idea. Who said won could only manage the household and teach children? Isn’t diagnosing patients more empowering?
Look at today’s patient. They ca specifically requesting the Third Young Madam for a consultation and gave two liang of silver for running errands. What do you think the consultation fee for the Third Young Madam should be?
Such won, who do not depend on others for sustenance or are controlled by others, are truly admirable.
He actually planned to go back and discuss this matter with his wife, but unexpectedly, he was asked by the Third Young Master and the Third Young Madam.
"Doctor Chen, do you mind if your granddaughter takes on consultations, specifically for won?"
"This..." Doctor Chen thought carefully: "If her husband’s family doesn’t mind, neither would I. After all, female doctors who can make house calls and see patients are very few, and they would be a blessing for female patients."
Chun Nuan was speechless upon hearing this.
What kind of talk is this?
She is confident enough. Why would she fear her husband’s family’s disapproval?
If they were a hindering family, it wouldn’t matter at all!
Can their outlook and perspective be broadened a bit?
"Doctor Chen, if your granddaughter can see patients and make house calls, then she is a remarkable girl. Not everyone is worthy of her. When selecting a husband’s family, you should be the ones confidently choosing others, rather than waiting to be chosen." Zhao Minghua couldn’t help but share his experience: "Look at our Nuannuan. It’s because I understand her and respect her that I sought to marry her, allowing her to shine brightly in the Zhao family. She isn’t ant to be hidden away, like a pearl covered in dust - that would be tragic."
Zhao Minghua almost said that if the only desire was for a woman to bear children, there was no need to seek such a talented woman. Burying her talents would be a cri.
Chun Nuan felt Zhao Minghua was right.
Marrying off a girl isn’t rely for the sake of marriage but to find her soone who will respect and understand her, sharing life together.
To give up one’s hobbies and interests to conform to others, what joy would there be in life after marriage?
"Doctor Chen, I’d like to et your granddaughter."
Chun Nuan shared her idea of opening a won’s clinic.
"Are you saying to learn dicine from you, Third Young Madam?"
"Yes, I want to find three to five won with so foundation, willing to learn dicine, and teach them how to diagnose won’s illnesses," Chun Nuan said. "Today’s patient made realize the importance of doing sothing for won. Only then can I feel at ease."
"The Third Young Madam is magnanimous, being personally taught by you is a great fortune."
It must be said, Doctor Chen also has an enterprising heart. He even wondered: could a nearly 60-year-old student be accepted?
"I will go back and tell my granddaughter that she will surely be very happy."
At the Chen family, once Doctor Chen explained everything, the whole family was almost unanimously opposed.
Only Chen Xiaoyin insisted on wanting to learn.
Even Doctor Chen maintained a neutral stance, primarily considering her marriage prospects.
The wife spoke frighteningly about how no family would want a daughter-in-law running a clinic, exposing herself like that was improper.
She said if it affected Xiaoyin’s marriage, she would fight to the death.
"Father, I also think it’s unreliable for a girl to study dicine. Where in the world are there female doctors?"
The daughter-in-law also opposed, saying, "Xiaoyin is already almost sixteen. She hasn’t listened to us about matchmaking before, always refusing, and in a few years, she’ll be older, making it harder to find a good match."
The daughter-in-law ant the urgent matter was getting married.
"Grandfather, I want to study dicine."
Chen Xiaoyin was anxious. She knew the chance to change her fate was right before her and it was the only chance.
"I also want to be as capable as the Third Young Madam of the Zhao family."
"Xiaoyin, this is nonsense. The people in the Capital are well-ford and have no worries about marriage. You cannot compare yourself to them."
"Mother, if you don’t let study dicine, I will not marry."
In a fit of temper, Chen Xiaoyin directly threatened.
"Nonsense, which girl doesn’t get married? Not marrying ans becoming a nun! Our Chen family doesn’t support single daughters."
Old Mrs. Chen was furious and slamd the table.
"Then beco a nun, I’ll do it." Chen Jian was not afraid, grabbing the scissors on the table to cut her hair.
"Xiaoyin, don’t be reckless!"
Her mother, Mrs. Tang, was scared and hurriedly snatched the scissors: "Don’t be disrespectful, hurry and apologize to your grandmother."
The old lady was already livid with anger.
"Your wings are hard, reversed the sky, you impious girl..."
