Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 1120 - 1122: Once a Teacher, Always a Father
When the girl mentioned medical 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 became a bit low, and she said, "Dad, if I learn medicine from Xue Zhiyi and become 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 medicine, 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 time with Xue Zhiyi, you’ll walk the same path as your sister and be charmed 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 me, and I don’t want to marry someone so old. I still want to find someone close to my age."
"Really? You truly think that way?" The old man An asked somewhat uncertainly.
"Dad, really, that’s what I think. Originally, there was a doctor Luo in Lin County who wanted to take me 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 someone to look after me, 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 medicine.
But letting her go outside alone to learn from someone 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 become 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 became master and apprentice, absolutely nothing like what he feared would occur. "That would work. You can kowtow and formally become his apprentice right here at home."
