Chapter 1194: Chapter 378: Seeking Help

What is a doctor?

On the way home, Mo Yan pondered this question repeatedly, with the master’s words echoing incessantly in her ears:

"A doctor’s benevolence is skillful, and their greatest achievements have no desire for profit. To be a doctor, one must not only have a heart filled with benevolence but also possess a character that does not seek fame and fortune! The so-called disregard for fame and fortune does not mean that doctors should expect no reward, but that they should resist the temptation of fame and fortune and refrain from using the Qihuang Technique to harm others."

...

"I took you as my disciple not only because of your talent but also because there are countless talented individuals in this world. I observed that you have a heart of benevolence, and to you, fame and fortune are like passing clouds. That is why I decided to accept you as my disciple. Otherwise, I would rather the Mrs. Du’s Nine Needles disappear than to see the world have one more person who only seeks profit, tarnishing the name of the Du Family lineage..."

In the past, the Du Family was a major family, playing a significant role in the medical field. Yet, as time passed, its numbers dwindled, leaving only Doctor Du as the sole legitimate heir. The reasons for this are tied to an incident a hundred years ago involving a morally corrupt member of the Du Family.

This individual was of the same generation as Doctor Du’s grandfather and was an adopted son whom the family had taken in. He was incredibly talented and mastered the true essence of Du Family’s medical skills. However, his nefarious intentions brought disaster to the Du Family, nearly severing its lineage...

Mo Yan did not know exactly what the adopted son of the Du Family had done but could understand the intent behind her master mentioning this matter.

In his eyes, character was more important than talent. No matter how gifted a person might be, if they were unethical, their medical practice would only serve as a means to harm others. The master did not forbid her from teaching those children, but rather, he was telling her whom she could teach and whom she could not.

Mo Yan took several deep breaths, and her restless heart gradually calmed. She then said to Xuetuan in her mind, "It seems the journey to carry forward the Du Family’s medical heritage that has been passed down for a hundred years is still very long!"

Xuetuan lifted its eyelids, ruthlessly puncturing her pretense (of humility): "Just put in a little more effort, and the big epidemic nineteen years from now will be your chance to become famous. Then, won’t everyone know that you are a disciple of the Du Family, fully versed in the true medical arts of the Family?"

Mo Yan assumed a lofty attitude and passionately lectured Xuetuan, "The characteristic that Master values in me is my lack of desire for fame and fortune. How could I let down his expectations? It’s enough for us to know these things; there’s no need to make it widely known."

Xuetuan rolled its eyes, completely despairing of its master who was sometimes astute and sometimes silly. It decided to ignore this master for ten years.

Mo Yan entered Space, distressed, and grabbed Xuetuan in her hands: "The human heart is the most inscrutable thing, and it’s too difficult to know whether someone is suitable to learn medicine. Can you help me with this?"

"No!" Xuetuan twisted its body and fled far away, denying loudly and without hesitation: "Even if there is a way, I wouldn’t tell you, hmph!"

Spurred by a thought, Mo Yan had Xuetuan back in her soft, tender palms. She said teasingly, "So, you do have a way, right? Besides, I blocked you, and you could still sense what I was doing outside. Isn’t understanding the human heart a piece of cake for you?"

By the end, she was clearly dredging up the past and blatantly threatening!

Xuetuan’s pudgy body shuddered slightly as it said with indignation, "You just wait to settle accounts after the fall, always bringing up past grievances. You clearly said you wouldn’t hold that matter against me anymore."

Mo Yan blinked, "Did I? Have I ever said that?"

Xuetuan was shocked by its master’s shamelessness and decided to ignore this person for a hundred years. If it spoke to this person within a hundred years, it would turn into one of those most despised little bees.

By the time Mo Yan got home, the sun had already set. She took a basin and a towel to the wellside and washed her face with the freshly drawn well water, feeling some of the heat dissipate.

That’s when Lixiu approached and said, "Sister Wu and Tie Tou’s wife came looking for you this afternoon. Since you weren’t around, they said they’d come back in the evening."

Mo Yan, puzzled, asked, "Did they say anything?"

Lixiu hesitated for a moment before speaking in a muffled voice, "They didn’t say explicitly, but I guess it must be about the child."

About the child? Little Yu?

Mo Yan grew even more puzzled. Although the Wu family had never given up on the idea of reclaiming Liyu, since they saw that Liyu was doing well and gradually smiling more, they didn’t insist on it. They typically sent clothes, shoes, and food, even though Liyu firmly rejected and returned everything unopened. Yet they persisted in doing so.
