Chapter 20 - 20: Become A Disciple
"Song Nan, take care of the shop. I'm going out. And don't touch that ginseng. It's precious." Grandpa Tang called someone from the backyard.
"Alright, Doctor Tang." The man named Song Nan nodded.
"Come, Yu Qi Girl." They walked out together. "I forgot to ask you where did you find that ginseng?"
"Yesterday, I went to the nearby mountain to collect some wild vegetable to sell. When searching for the wild vegetables, I found the ginseng." Yu Qi made a lie.
"Oh, I see. I noticed you recognized the herb in my shop." Grandpa Tang now remembered about that.
"Well, I learned a little bit about Chinese herbs." She learned about that herbs yesterday.
"Want to be my disciple? Let me see your parent." Grandpa Tang excited to have a disciple.
"I'm an orphan." Yu Qi told Grandpa Tang in a small voice.
"Oh...You can be my new granddaughter and my disciple." Grandpa Tang seemed did not bother about her being an orphan.
"But your family might against this idea?" She knew some people dislike the idea of having a foster family member.
"Dare to against my decision? Hmph...Yu Qi Girl, you don't have to worry about that." Grandpa Tang already determined to make her as his granddaughter.
"Thank you, Grandpa Tang."
"Called me, grandfather."
"Grandfather."
"It's feel-good having a granddaughter instead of a grandson." Grandpa Tang said with happy mood stroking his white beard. "I will brag at Old Man Feng later."
Yu Qi also felt happy. This reminded her about her own grandfather. Having a grandfather that loved you really felt great.
They arrived at the bank. To open an account bank, a certain fee was needed to pay. Yu Qi actually forgot about that. Grandpa Tang laughed when he saw trouble look on Yu Qi's face. He paid that fee and told that bank officer to transfer 5 million from his account to her account. The process runs smoothly.
"Yu Qi, where are you live right now?" Grandpa Tang asked.
"I live with my part-time job's boss." She answered honestly.
"You can move out and live with me. My wife and I live together." Grandpa Tang invited her.
"I will speak with Boss first."
As usually, Yu Qi entered her space to learn. After two hours of lecture about the herb, she went to the practice room. In the practice room, she was given patients with some symptoms. She had to think about what combination of the herb that can cure the symptoms.
Then she proceeds to self-training. Like she said yesterday, her body is weak and lack of stamina. So she asked Mary to plan her training.
She might have to make a schedule whenever she entered her space. She wants to learn as much as she can.
