An Xuebin stood by Zhu Yanyi’s side and said, "Little Divine Doctor, please rest assured. We will study hard with you. We have learned a lot this time."
Hun Junlan looked at Zhu Yanyi, as if remembering something, and then asked, "Little Divine Doctor, can we become your real students?" At this moment, Hun Junlan was not speaking as a friend, but as a student making a request.
There was a difference between being a "real student" and a "disciple." Hun Junlan knew that there were likely no suitable candidates to be Zhu Yanyi’s disciples right now. However, they could become her genuine students, learning various knowledge from her. If they could do this, it would be a great opportunity. They did not want to leave after only three months of study.
After Hun Junlan finished speaking, Miao Pu and An Xuebin both looked at Zhu Yanyi, their eyes full of hope. What Hun Junlan said was exactly what they hoped for.
Zhu Yanyi looked at the three of them and pondered. She could not accept disciples for now, but accepting students was something she could consider. At least, if her students learned well, they would serve as living advertisements when she opened her school in the future. After thinking it over, she smiled and said, "I will give you this chance. However, whether you can become my real students depends on your ability. You will study with me for three months. During this time, show me the qualities that make you worthy of being my students. How does that sound?"
"Thank you, Little Divine Doctor." The three of them smiled at each other. The three-month period gave them an opportunity, and they were determined to work hard.
Zhu Yanyi actually wanted to teach a few students. Accepting disciples was not possible at the moment, but accepting students was fine. Of course, becoming her student was not easy. First, she looked at character; second, she looked at talent. Character was the foundation for a healer, and talent was the basis for learning. Both were indispensable.
With Zhu Yanyi’s words, Hun Junlan and the other two began to study even harder. The opportunity was rare and fleeting, and they did not want to lose such a good chance.
Luo Gang met Zhu Xinfu and his group, then led them to the Zhu family residence.
Zhu Xinfu looked at the Zhu family buildings from afar, a hint of mockery appearing on his lips. "I was locked up here for over forty years, but today I see these buildings again. Compared to over forty years ago, there are a few more houses, but the old ones seem unchanged."
Huang Meiying said from the side, "It has been over forty years. Some of the dilapidated houses from back then were demolished and rebuilt. I watched them build these new ones."
Zhu Shunyang said, "Father, Mother, let’s not dwell on the past. The world you saw over forty years ago is still here for you to see, just with slight differences."
Zhu Xinfu smiled lightly and asked, "What do you think Zhu Yongfu’s expression will be when he sees me? Will he think I am a ghost?"
"What ghost? Father, you are not dead. You were just locked up by him," Xie Xinlian said from the side. "Now that we are here, we just need to show him that you have recovered. Their so-called secrets are no longer secrets."
"Xinlian is right," Zhu Shunyang agreed. "Father, this time we are here to resolve the grievances of the past forty years."
Taishu Yuanxiang and Zhu Yanli exchanged a smile. Taishu Yuanxiang said, "Grandpa, Grandma, let’s go in. Since we are here, we must face them."
Zhu Xinfu smiled. Yes, he had returned. He would repay kindness with kindness and revenge with revenge. The entanglements of the past forty years should come to an end.
Luo Gang led Zhu Xinfu into the temporary clinic where Zhu Yanyi was seeing patients. Zhu Yanyi saw that Zhu Xinfu and the others had arrived and smiled. "Hello, Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, Mom, Big Sister, and Brother-in-law. Even our Little Monkey is here." Zhu Yanyi looked at the little monkey in the stroller, whose eyes were wide open, and wanted to hug her, but Zhu Yanli stopped her.
"Don’t hug him. Because everyone keeps hugging him lately, he refuses to stay still. I am currently correcting this behavior," Zhu Yanli said seriously.
"Come on," Zhu Yanyi said, glancing at Zhu Yanli and picking up the little monkey. "I think you are just making an excuse to be lazy. Our Little Monkey is so good. Besides, there are plenty of people at home. If you really can’t handle it, ask Brother-in-law to find a nanny. You can definitely manage."
"Why find a nanny? Are your Mom and I not people?" Huang Meiying said directly. She loved the little monkey very much.
Zhu Yanli was speechless. "This boy will definitely be spoiled by you all."
Zhu Yanyi grinned and said, "Sister, forget it. Who doesn’t know better than me? If our Little Monkey is going to be spoiled, it will definitely start with Brother-in-law."
Taishu Yuanxiang loved the little monkey very much. At home, he never let Zhu Yanli interfere with his care for the baby. He handled everything, from changing diapers to feeding.
Hearing this, Zhu Yanli had to admit that Zhu Yanyi was right. It was not easy to correct the little monkey’s bad habits. Not to mention others, there was a big obstacle right in front of her. This obstacle was named Taishu Yuanxiang.
Taishu Yuanxiang chuckled and said, "What is wrong with that? Our Little Monkey wants to be held. This request is too easy to satisfy. He is not asking for dragon liver or phoenix gall."
"From now on, when we go home, you hold her," Zhu Yanli said directly to Taishu Yuanxiang. She had a feeling that while other families might have a strict father and a loving mother, their family might develop into a strict mother and a loving father.
Taishu Yuanxiang nodded and said, "No problem. I will hold her all the time then." After speaking, she gave Zhu Yanli a deep look. Zhu Yanli instantly understood the meaning behind her words, and her face turned slightly red.
Zhu Yanyi naturally saw this expression too. She raised her eyebrows slightly and made funny faces at Zhu Yanli.
Zhu Yanli glared at Taishu Yuanxiang and then looked at Zhu Yanyi. "We came all this way to see you, and you are just making faces to bully me?"
Zhu Yanyi put on an expression of disbelief. "Sister, I didn’t expect your ability to twist facts to have gotten stronger. You must have learned it from Brother-in-law."
Zhu Xinfu, seeing the sisters bickering, laughed. "Alright, Ani, take me for a good walk. Since we are here, I should walk around and see the changes."
Zhu Yanyi looked at Zhu Xinfu and asked, "Grandpa, do you want to meet anyone today?"
Zhu Xinfu smiled lightly. "Not today. I just want to see if the scenery here is different from over forty years ago."
Zhu Yanyi raised her eyebrows slightly, then smiled and said to Qin Tianxiang beside her, "Sister Qin, ask Sister Zhang to go to the hotel and book rooms for my Grandpa and the others first."
"Okay." Qin Tianxiang went out to make arrangements.
Then Zhu Yanyi said, "Grandpa, Grandma, I will accompany you for a walk. However, this is still other people’s territory, so we should not be too conspicuous." Not being conspicuous meant they would not be easily discovered.
