There might be a bit of narcissism involved.
But then again, let's get back to the topic. Ever since I taught the second brother, third brother, and fourth brother how to write, the third brother has far outstripped the others in terms of learning progress.
I taught the fourth brother how to practice medicine, and in many areas, he would ponder repeatedly. It took him several tries to understand.
Moreover, the fourth brother's thinking tended to be conservative; he wouldn't innovate or concoct any poisons on his own.
The third brother, on the other hand, would understand just by looking and not only apply what he learned adaptively, but also create his own poisons.
Damned idiot!
I was so angry that I marched out of the pharmacy, "How much money did you spend on these poisons? The cost isn't low, right? Where did you get the money to buy them, did you steal it?"
"Wife, you've wronged me! I gathered the herbs myself on the mountain."
"You recognize these herbs?"
