Grandma Mo said impatiently, “Why are you so quiet? Our grandson finally has something he needs help with. We must certainly do something. I don’t care. As long as it makes my grandson happy, he can have whatever he wants!”
Grandfather Mo said, “Be patient! Of course, I will help. I’m thinking of how to help him now.”
Grandma Mo said in annoyance, “Didn’t he make it clear in his letter? He wants you to find a proper job for Jiang Yiru. Nothing can be simpler!
“Jiang Yiru was a famous doctor in Jiangnan. A doctor! Now there’s a shortage of doctors everywhere. Even if she came from a major landlord family, it doesn’t change the fact that she’s a doctor. Many people come from poor backgrounds, but they avoided disaster because they were doctors.”
That was true.
In these times, medical care was just too poor. Among those who were bad elements, those who were doctors met with the best treatment.
Jiang Yiru was a famous doctor in Jiangnan, and Old Master Qin was also a doctor. All the Mo family had to do was to step in at an opportune moment, and both of them could be transferred.
Grandfather Mo sat on a nearby sofa, and Grandma Mo immediately followed.
Grandfather Guo said, “Beihan’s analysis makes sense. The Gu family’s other sons and grandsons have left their hometown, and for now, it will not be easy to promote them very much. And it won’t have much effect on those in their old home.
“I’ve been promoting the second and third sons’ families, and they now hold higher positions. But the part of the Gu family that is still in their hometown continues to lack prestige. What Beihan mentioned will happen in the Qing River Brigade, and it has a bigger effect on the people there.
“Especially because the Gus are also doctors. If Jiang Yiru has a good job and her superiors acknowledge her, then these people will naturally respect the Gu family more.”
Mo Beihan hoped that Old Master Mo would help Jiang Yiru and Old Master Qin to find jobs. Ideally, prestigious jobs that would allow them to be transferred to the city.
Jiang Yiru’s background was poor and she was a doctor. Her situation was almost identical to that of Gu Chonghua.
If Jiang Yiru and Old Master Qin were to leave the cowshed for a job in the city, it would definitely be big news to the locals.
Everyone would naturally think of Gu Chonghua.
No matter what era, everyone naturally revered the upper echelons of society.
Old Master Mo looked at the letter in his hand. “I’ll think of something and find an opportunity to have them transferred to the capital. Then… perhaps the little Gu girl will follow, and then… our grandson will probably follow his wife here?”
Grandma Mo’s eyes brightened!
“Right, right, right! Hurry up, hurry up. Get Jiang Yiru and her husband transferred to the capital. They have no children to take care of them, and that little Gu girl is their disciple. Perhaps she will accompany them to the capital to take care of them, and also to study medicine. Anyway, all young girls like the city. She will certainly come.
“Then even if Beihan is unwilling to visit the capital, he will have to make frequent trips here. We’ll get hold of his wife and see if he comes!”
Old Master Mo smiled!
Grandma Mo was delighted!
She was incredibly agitated at the thought of meeting her oldest grandson.
“Think of a way to get Jiang Yiru a prestigious job that is near us. Doctors build connections the most easily. With Jiang Yiru’s medical skills and fame, many people will show her respect when she comes to the capital.
“She’s the little Gu girl’s teacher, which means she is part of Beihan’s circle of influence. Also, think of a way to transfer the second and third Gu sons’ families to the capital. Get all of them to come. Oh, and the little Gu girl’s father. Isn’t he a doctor, too? Get him here as well.”
