Chapter 54: Chapter 54: Thirty Acres and One Cow_1

The speaker was an elderly man in his seventies with graying hair.

Dressed in a blue robe, carrying his hands on his back, his face was cloaked in frostiness.

"Grandpa He, it was Grandpa who asked me to invite Mister Mo over," Tang Chuchu stepped forward and said respectfully.

The elder called Grandpa He nodded, his gaze sweeping across everyone before finally resting on Mo Han and Tang Chuchu, "You two, come in. The rest stay here!"

Old Master Wen was not pleased, "Bai Yunhe, what do you mean by this? Can’t I visit Old Tang anymore?"

Bai Yunhe’s face was indifferent, "This is the master’s order. I hope the Wen Family Head is not offended!"

"You!" Wen Tianning shook his head but did not insist further.

Bai Yunhe had served as Tang Guowei’s housekeeper for a lifetime, a quintessential stickler—once he said no to entry, there would absolutely be no admittance.

"Grandpa Wen, Sister Wen, please wait here for a moment," Tang Chuchu intervened with a smile, "I’ll accompany Grandpa for a bit with Mo Han, then we’ll ask him to invite you in..."

Wen Biyu nodded, "Chu Chu, take Mister Mo with you..."

Upon entering the bamboo grove, Mo Han looked around at the residence as he walked.

Surrounded by green bricks, black tiles, and encircled by bamboo, the environment was elegant.

Given the layout of the house, with a meandering stream at the front, neither rushing nor dragging, backed by a small hill that gathered wind and harnessed qi, the feng shui was excellent. It was obviously the handiwork of a prominent family.

Following behind the butler and Tang Chuchu, Mo Han stepped onto the pebble-paved path, walked through the bamboo pavilion, passed through three layers of courtyard doors, and finally stopped in front of a stone pavilion.

This was the Tang Family’s private abode, also the most confidential area of the Tang Family.

"Master, the young miss and Mister Mo have arrived," the butler, Grandpa He, said respectfully with a bow.

"Understood. You may leave, Old Bai," came the reply.

Inside the stone pavilion, an elderly man dressed in Tang-style robes, with graying hair and slightly squinting eyes, was wheeled out by a servant.

He gave a faint command to the servant behind him, "You may go as well."

"Yes!" The servant nodded and left with the butler.

Tang Chuchu smoothly stepped up onto the staircase, assisting the old man down from the wheelchair.

"Are you Mo Han?"

The elder sized him up with squinted eyes, a hint of admiration in his glance, "Indeed as Chu Chu described, a young hero."

It was Mo Han’s second meeting with Old Master Tang. Last time at Renkang Hospital, the old master had been lying on the sickbed with his eyes tightly shut, barely clinging to life.

Observing the old master’s physical condition, he seemed to be recovering well. However, due to severe injuries, he still needed to rest and heal in tranquil.

"Old Master Tang is too kind. I, Mo Han, have seen the elder," Mo Han bowed with a greeting, his tone neither humble nor arrogant, "Please forgive my bluntness, but at this time, Old Master Tang should be resting in bed, not moving around too much."

"Especially with this season’s considerable temperature differences between day and night and high air humidity, it’s easy to catch a cold..."

Tang Guowei nodded slightly, then sighed, "Director Lin said the same, but I’ve been feeling restless inside. If I don’t get up and move around, it would be even more uncomfortable."

Switching topics, he continued, "I heard that Wen Biyu’s goddaughter, Shanshan, was also saved by you?"

"I simply helped Miss Shanshan remove the jade stone from her throat, the real emergency response was organized by Director Lin," Mo Han replied with a slight smile, speaking frankly, "Old Master Tang, may I ask the reason you requested my presence?"

"Chu Chu, go to the room and get the premium mother tree Da Hong Pao; brew a cup of tea for young Mister Mo," Tang Guowei gestured to his granddaughter who pouted and nodded before leaving the stone pavilion.

Suddenly, the stone pavilion was left with only Mo Han and Tang Guowei, the atmosphere quieting down at once.

"In the seventeenth year, founded Mutual Trade and earned a million a year..."

"Went bankrupt and penniless overnight in the twentieth year, and in the same year, in July, suffered a car accident that injured my right leg..."

"In April of the twenty-first year, my daughter was nearly given up for dead with leukemia..."

"On May 8th of the twenty-first year, you successively saved your daughter and the dying Wen Shanshan from a car accident..."

"And on May 10th, you operated on me bare-handedly in the hospital, pulling me back from death’s door!"

Counting the events that happened to Mo Han, Tang Guowei did not hide his confusion, "Young Mister Mo, I am very curious, a month ago you were a nobody with a limp, why did you suddenly change as if you were a different person?"

"Not only can you perform the miraculous Qi-control Needling of the unique Physician Xue, but you were also able to fight over six hundred of He Chen’s elites on your own, emerging unscathed!"

Mo Han smiled lightly, his eyes not shying away, "Old Master Tang, do you have secrets?"

Upon hearing ’secrets,’ Tang Guowei chuckled, "Don’t be offended, young Mister Mo; I am merely curious."

His laughter ceased, and he then earnestly asked, "Mo Han, have you thought about what you’re going to do in the future?"

Mo Han paused, then blurted out, "Look for a job, earn money, practice medicine and save people..."

That caught Tang Guowei by surprise, "That’s it?"

"Yes." Mo Han nodded firmly.

Looking for a job and making money was for Ning’er and Chen Chen. Practicing medicine and saving people was to honor the skills Master Ye Lingfeng had taught him.

"Well..." Tang Guowei pondered for several seconds before speaking earnestly, "Mo Han, have you ever heard the saying, ’A golden scale is not a common fish, when the wind and clouds arise, it turns into a dragon’?"

"With your abilities, you could certainly appear on a much bigger stage!"

Mo Han shook his head and smiled, "Old Tang, have you ever heard the saying, ’Thirty acres of land, an ox, a wife, and kids crowded around a warm bed’?"

Uh...

Once again, Tang Guowei was baffled. Put nicely, Mo Han was free from desires; put unkindly, he was content with mediocrity, resigned to his fate!

Checking the time, it was already ten fifty. If he didn’t leave now, he would miss the job fair at the talent market. "Old Tang, if there’s nothing else, I will take my leave."

"Leaving? What are you leaving for, my tea is ready..."
