Chapter 966: It costs money to be an official, so what can I do? I might as well go home and grow sw

Shao Ting saw her mother looking for doctors and medicine all day long, and she wanted to share her pain with her, and she also wanted to cure her so that she could have a younger brother at home.

Shao Ting expressed her thoughts and looked at Sun Shan timidly: "Uncle, can I study medicine? Can I become a doctor?"

Sun Shan didn't know whether Shao Ting could become a doctor.

Although the reason seems very "ridiculous", it is a good thing for both boys and girls to learn a skill to support themselves.

However, the path of studying medicine is not easy. First, you need talent and be smart. Second, you need to be able to withstand rumors.

Sun Shan said seriously: "My dear girl, if you want to study medicine, your uncle supports you. But girls will face many problems if they study medicine, so you have to think it through."

Sun Shan told Shao Ting in detail the disadvantages of studying medicine, and especially emphasized that studying medicine would be detrimental to marriage.

In this era, girls have no choice but to get married. Even if Sun Shan supports Shao Ting in not wanting to get married, it is not enough for him alone to support her.

Under the pressure of the Hong family's "big pot", not only Shao Ting, but also Sun Shan couldn't bear it.

Seeing that he married and had children in a conventional way, we know that he should not do anything out of the ordinary.

Shao Ting pursed her lips, and after listening to Sun Shan's words, she still said firmly: "Uncle, I already understand and know what you said. But I still want to be a doctor. I want to treat my mother, and if I have the chance, I also want to treat the women and children in the village."

Sun Shan looked at Shaoting, a little girl with a firm attitude.

At that moment, he recalled that when Mr. Hong asked him why he studied and why he took the imperial examination.

Sun Shan clearly remembered that he said it was for his grandma to have a feast, so that she wouldn't have to hide from people, and also for his family to be tax-exempt and have a better life.

At this moment, Sun Shan felt that Shao Ting was just like himself in the past.

Sun Shan was deeply moved. After thinking for a while, he said, "Okay, Shaoting, if you really want to be a doctor, your uncle supports you. But you have to ask your parents what they think about becoming a doctor. Your uncle will also try to persuade your parents."

After hearing this, Shaoting's eyes were red and she said with emotion: "Thank you, uncle."

Shaoting is young but matures precociously, especially the cold atmosphere at home, which makes Shaoting think too much.

Shao Ting thought that if her mother really couldn't give birth to a younger brother, she would have to rely on herself in the future.

As the eldest in the family, she has to take on the heavy responsibility of taking care of her father and mother until their old age.

Shaoting regrets that he is not a man and cannot take the imperial examination like his uncle.

Since the path of fame and fortune is blocked, one has no choice but to go the path of "making money". With money, one can do a lot of things.

Shao Ting thought about becoming an embroiderer. If she had good embroidery skills and could do needlework, she could make a living.

I just have no talent, so I had to give up.

Afterwards, Shao Ting wanted to follow his father into business, and if there was an opportunity, he would go to Zhangzhou Prefecture to do business with the Hong family.

Shaoting studied hard to learn literacy and accounting, hoping that they would be able to use them one day.

This time when I came to the provincial capital, I saw my grandmother taking my mother to seek medical treatment everywhere, and I also saw many women like my mother seeking medical treatment.

The most important thing is that just for a consultation, it costs a lot of money.

Shao Ting instantly felt that being a doctor was not a bad idea. Not only could she help her mother with her illness, but she could also make a lot of money as long as she succeeded in her medical studies.

Shao Ting thought about it again and again, and among the people around her, only her uncle could help her.

My uncle is a very nice person and never looks down on them because they are girls. My uncle is also very capable and even the head of the Hong family will flatter him when he sees him.

Her mother often said that she was lucky because she had a younger brother, and that the three sisters were unlucky because they had no younger brothers.

Shao Ting doesn't think so. She also thinks she is lucky to have a capable uncle.

Sun Shan is indeed capable of arranging for Shaoting to study medicine and become a doctor.

However, it would require the consent of the third sister and her husband. Sun Shan had no reason to bypass Shao Ting's parents and arrange it for her.

After Xiaoman learned about this, her response was beyond Sun Shan's expectations.

Sun Shan thought Xiao Man would have some reservations, but Xiao Man said directly: "Shan Zi, I have no objection to Shao Ting studying medicine to become a doctor. If she wants to learn, she can go ahead and learn. I have already told her that if she wants to learn, she should study hard and persist. If she gives up halfway, your uncle will not help her next time. You don't have to ask your uncle for anything. Shao Ting still insists on learning. So I came here to shamelessly beg you, Shan Zi, to find her a clinic and let her be an apprentice."

Sun Shan asked doubtfully, "Third sister, it's not a good idea for a girl to study medicine. Have you thought it through?"

Xiaoman nodded and said, "It doesn't matter if it doesn't sound good. It's always good to have a skill. With you here, I'm not worried about Shaoting, but Shaoting still has a long way to go, and we can't always protect her. Shaoting has no older brother or younger brother, so there will be no one to support her in the future.

If you can learn a skill, you won't starve to death even if you have no one to support you.

If Shao Ting could be like Grandpa, kind-hearted and skilled in medicine, saving lives and helping the world, maybe he could also bless future generations. Grandma often said that it was thanks to Grandpa's influence that my aunt and dad survived. I think if Shao Ting could have half of Grandpa's ability, her future would be much brighter. "

Sun Shan was stunned for a moment, then held Xiaoman's hand tightly and said solemnly, "Third sister, Shaoting wants to study medicine, I will arrange it. Although Shaoting is a girl, girls can also have a promising future. Shaoting is as ambitious as her elder sister, I believe she will have good fortune in the future."

Xiaoman felt a lump in her throat and hummed, remaining silent for a long time.

Xiaoman saw the doctor several times, but no results were given. Besides, she had been in the city for some time, so she thought about going home.

The same goes for Guyu and Lixia. I really miss everything at home.

Hanlu and Zeng Jiajun wanted to stay in the provincial capital, but everyone had gone back, so it would be unreasonable for them not to go back.

Like Zeng Jiajun, De Ge'er didn't want to go back, but he had to go back because he had to go to work.

Although you won't be fired for taking so many days off and not going back, it's not acceptable.

The village chief, Sun Boming, and Uncle Sun also clamored to go back, saying that the land at home was more important.

Su wanted to stay in the city and become an old lady.

Sun Bomin whispered, "You don't need to eat or drink when you stay in the city? I asked my brother-in-law. When Shanzi takes office, he will have to bring a lot of his family members with him, and these people will be paid privately. My brother-in-law said that Shanzi's official position not only cannot earn money for his family, but also takes money from his family. Hey, Jing'er is like this. He has been an official for several years, but he didn't send a penny home, and he even needs subsidies from here."

Su never imagined that being an official would not only make no money, but also cost him money.

I don't understand at all: "Boss, you heard me right. To be an official, you need your family to pay for you?"

Sun Bomin said with certainty: "That's right, we have to dig money out of our family. My brother-in-law said that there is only one situation where you don't need money from your family and you can still give money to your family. That is to become a corrupt official. Oh, I don't want Shanzi to be a corrupt official. We ordinary people hate corrupt officials the most."

Su was dumbfounded. She never thought that she would have to pay to become an official.

What else can I do? I might as well go home and grow sweet potatoes.

But thinking about Shanzi going to plant sweet potatoes, not only would the harvest fail, but he might also be exhausted.

You must never go home to grow sweet potatoes.
