And the medicine needs to be taken daily?
Thatâs thirty silvers a month?
Goodness, isnât that like throwing money into a pit?â
âFortunately, Dani was lucky to have received some silver from Black Bear, but,â Li Yi sighed and shook his head, âafter getting through this month, Iâm afraid there wonât be much left.
If she doesnât wake up soon, Iâm afraidâŠâ He paused, âWeâre all neighbors here, weâve watched that child grow up, but even if weâre willing to help, how much can we actually help?
So, the child is still pitiableâŠâ
The inquirers all nodded in agreement and once again began to sympathize with the Yang Ruxin family.
Many people think this way, always liking to compare themselves with others.
When the formerly pitiable kid suddenly surpassed them, they naturally felt resentment and dissatisfaction.
But once that kid remained the same pitiable figure from before, they immediately felt compassion.
Therefore, those who had previously envied them also lost interest.
Doctor Wang also sighed and nodded, âYes, weâre all from the same village.
Although our abilities are limited, we can still help a little, canât we?
That child is also very devoted to her filial duties.
If it were someone else, they might have already abandoned their motherâŠâ
The visitor was just someone who loved to snoop around.
Hearing that help was needed, where would they be willing?
They quickly found an excuse to leave, naturally going out to spread the news they had heard.
Yang Ruxin, of course, was unaware of the villagersâ concern for her family.
At home, she happily made a rabbit hutch with her younger siblings, and after a lively dinner, she went next door.
She had decided that, in addition to practicing martial arts with Gu Yao, she would also start learning with Gu Qingheng.
She had mentioned several times before about learning from Gu Qingheng, but nothing came of it, so on the day Zhou Xiao and his sister arrived, after coming down from the mountain, she was ready to start her first lesson.
Gu Qingheng was naturally delighted and after briefly inquiring about Zhou Xiao and his sisterâs situation, he took out the priming text âThree-Character Classicâ that he had prepared: âLetâs begin with this.â
The corner of Yang Ruxinâs mouth twitched.
She could recite this text when she was three years old, but of course, she couldnât say that now.
She even needed to hide her knowledge, and so she bowed earnestly to Gu Qingheng, âThank you, teacher.
I will make sure to study hard and strive for progress every day.â
âYouâre calling me âteacherâ?â Gu Qingheng raised an eyebrow slightly, as he had no desire to become her teacher.
âYes, should I call you âmasterâ instead?
Or âsirâ?â Yang Ruxin frowned, could it be that âteacherâ wasnât a common term in this era?
âTeacherâ is fine, but thereâs no need to say it,â Gu Qingheng shook his head.
âTeacherâ was a term of high respect.
Once someone is called âteacherâ, itâs akin to being family, especially in the court, where being part of a sect is essentially a guise for forming factions.
âWhy not say it?
If youâre teaching me to read, arenât you my teacher?â Yang Ruxin laughed, âHeihei.
Besides, isnât there a saying that âonce a teacher, always a fatherâ?
Donât worry, from now on, Iâll respect you just like a fatherâŠâ
âCough, coughâŠâ Gu Qingheng choked on his own saliva.
Is that really how the saying was supposed to be interpreted?
Gu Yao, on the other hand, laughed without any sense of propriety.
He wondered if Yang Ruxinâs mind was alright.
At the same time, he felt some sympathy for his big brother â the girl he had his eye on seemed a bitâŠ
simple.
