Chapter 493 - Pointed Remarks
Dive into Chapter 493 of "Peach Blossom Divine Medical God": After hanging up the phone, Chen Yang didnât think much and drove straight back to... Find out more!
After hanging up the phone, Chen Yang didnât think much and drove straight back to Liuhe Village.
At that time it was just past half-past seven, almost eight oâclock.
Uncle Niu and Elder Xiao were carrying the lobsters down the mountain.
Chen Yang stopped the car in front of his home and casually popped the trunk open.
âUncle Niu, Elder Xiao, Iâll deliver the lobsters today.
Just move them to my car.â
Chen Yang jumped out of the car and said.
âAlright, no problem,â
Uncle Niu replied with a smile.
Then he and Elder Xiao immediately started to transfer the lobsters.
Chen Yang didnât just stand by, he went up to help.
During the process, these two elders naturally couldnât stop talking and kept chatting with Chen Yang.
Their conversation drifted from one thing to another and somehow ended up on the topic of Wu Kexin, Li Han, and Yang Ruoxi.
âYang Zi, Uncle Niu thinks you arenât getting any younger.
Itâs about time to settle down, right?â Uncle Niu said with a hint of tease in his eyes as he looked at Chen Yang.
Chen Yang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and replied, âIâm not in a hurry, thereâs plenty of time.â
âHeh heh, a big young man in his twenties still not in a hurry?
You may not be worried, but what about the girls?
Which familyâs daughter can wait for you for years?â
Uncle Niu said laughingly.
Chen Yang had thought Uncle Niu was just making conversation.
But after hearing what Uncle Niu said, he immediately sensed there was a suggestion behind his words.
Chen Yang was just about to ask Uncle Niu whom he was referring to.
When Elder Xiao suddenly joined the conversation.
âYeah, Yang Zi, you canât keep a girl waiting forever.
I think you should find an opportunity to settle things.
Marry all three back home, and when the time comes, young and old from the village will come to drink at your wedding,â Elder Xiao said.
âHeh heh, thatâs right.â
Uncle Niu also nodded in agreement with a laugh.
Hearing these words, Chen Yang didnât know whether to laugh or cry.
So they were talking about Wu Kexin, Li Han, and Yang RuoxiâŚ
âElders, Uncle Niu, Iâm aware of this matter.
Iâll tend to it when itâs time.
For now, thereâs no rush,â Chen Yang, unsure how to respond to Elder Xiaoâs words, could only say that he was fully aware.
Then, he promptly closed the trunk, said he had to leave first, and drove off with the lobsters.
Chen Yang was quick.
Uncle Niu and Elder Xiao hadnât even reacted by the time Chen Yangâs car was already far away.
Watching the fading tail lights, Uncle Niu finally caught on.
âHey, that kid sure slipped away fast.
There were still things I wanted to talk to him about.â
âWhat did you want to say?â
Elder Xiao glanced at Uncle Niu.
Uncle Niu glared back: âNothing much, letâs hurry back after we finish up, itâs getting late.â
Half an hour after leaving Liuhe Village, Chen Yang arrived at Night Snack Street.
Perhaps because the workers usually transported the lobsters, when Chen Yang arrived at the back door today, nobody was there to meet him.
So, Chen Yang had to take out his phone and call the old man.
âOld man, Iâve brought the lobsters, get a couple of workers to come and take them.â
âArrived?â
âOkay, okay, okay, wait for me a second, Iâll be right there.â
The old man quickly agreed, then hung up the phone.
Chen Yang stood by the back door waiting for a few minutes, and then the owners of various late-night snack shops came together.
Lately, Chen Yang had been working very pleasantly with these owners.
Not only were Chen Yangâs lobsters large and delicious, surpassing those previously supplied by Wang Lao Si, but he also didnât raise prices or take advantage of his position.
This earned the respect of all the owners.
As they approached, they greeted him as if he were a dear relative, overflowing with warmth.
âAiyo, itâs been so long since weâve seen you, Boss Chen.
Have you eaten yet?â
âBoss Chen, youâve worked hard, I apologize for the inconvenience of having you make a special trip today.â
The other bosses were brimming with enthusiasm, eager to get closer to Chen Yang, but Chen Yang had no such intention.
He was just here to conduct business.
Apart from the old man, he had no ties with these people and he didnât care to establish any.
So he directly said, âNo problem, just passing by and thought Iâd deliver the lobster, you guys go ahead and split it.â
âHehe, okay, thank you, Boss Chen.â
Seeing Chen Yangâs indifferent attitude, the other bosses felt embarrassed to continue being overly enthusiastic, so they all went to the trunk of Chen Yangâs car and started dividing the lobster.
After collaborating for such a long period, all the bosses had developed an understanding.
They took as much as they should without the need to weigh or count.
Regarding Chen Yangâs character, these bosses still trusted him, which was evident from their simple exchanges in the past.
Moreover, if Chen Yang really wanted to cheat them, there was no need for such sneaky tactics like shortchanging, he could simply raise the prices blatantly.
After all, only Chen Yang had the lobster, even if the prices went up, plenty of people would still want to buy them.
Thus, the bosses quickly divided up the lobster and bid Chen Yang farewell.
Chen Yang also exchanged a few courteous words and saw the bosses off.
Only the old man was still standing there.
After watching all the other bosses leave, Chen Yang then turned to the old man with a smile.
âHow have things been lately, old timer?
Is Mrs.
Cui recovering well?â
Chen Yang asked with concern.
The old man looked at Chen Yang gratefully, âThanks to your blessing, Mrs.
Cui is a lot better now, her recovery is rapid, and Dr.
Wang said it wonât be long before she can be discharged.â
The old manâs tone was excited, Chen Yang could hear it.
âHehe, itâs good to hear sheâs doing well.
If thereâs nothing else, Iâll be taking off.
Call me if anything comes up,â Chen Yang said with a light smile, with a clang, he closed the trunk and was ready to drive away.
But at that moment, the old man grasped his arm.
âHey, hey, wait a moment, Boss Chen.â
The old man caught Chen Yangâs arm and said, âBoss Chen, I have something else I want to discuss with you.â
Chen Yang stopped and turned to the old man, âWhatâs up?â
âHehe.â
The old man chuckled awkwardly as he rubbed his hands, somewhat sheepishly saying, âI was just wondering, do you take apprentices?â
âHuh?â
Chen Yang looked at him with surprise.
âWhy are you asking me this?
Donât tell me you want to learn lobster farming techniques?â
The old man looked quite embarrassed and waved his hands quickly, âNo, no, not lobster farming.â
âSo what do you want to learn?â
Chen Yang turned back, looking straight at the old man.
âHehe.â
The old man laughed, speaking in an unhurried manner, âYou see, ever since you cured my wifeâs ALS, Xiao Cui has been wanting to study medicine with you.â
âSo I came to ask if you would consider taking on an apprentice, to teach Xiao Cui some medical skills.â
The old man spoke with a smile, revealing his intentions, and Chen Yang instantly understood.
It turned out that he didnât want to learn how to make money; he wanted to learn medical skills.
However, my medical skills are not something just anyone can learn.
âOld man, Iâm afraid that wonât work.
My medical skills canât be learned by just anyone, and Xiao Cui has no foundation at all.
I canât teach her,â Chen Yang thought it over and rejected the idea.
Seeing Chen Yang refuse, the old manâs expression changed slightly, but he seemed not to care too much about whether he could learn medicine or not.
After a few seconds of silence, he spoke again, âThen, is it possible to take on an assistant?
Let Xiao Cui follow you and help out?
Howâs that?â
âHuh?
To be my assistant?â
Chen Yang was taken aback.
When the old man suggested Xiao Cui learn medicine from him, Chen Yang thought it was reasonable, since his medical skills were exceptional and it would be normal for someone to want to learn.
But now the old man wanted Xiao Cui to become his assistant, and Chen Yang found it utterly baffling.
An assistant?
Whatâs so great about that?
You canât learn anything significant, just do some odd jobs?
