My Wife Is A Miracle Doctor In The 80s

“How about giving the kids extra lucky money?” Lin’s father suggested. “Then they can buy whatever they want.”

“No,” Lin’s mother shook her head. “Of course, we’ll give them lucky money. But if we give too much, Zhinian will just give it back. It’d be as if we hadn’t given anything at all. I think we should buy some New Year’s gifts. We’ll remember their kindness for now, and if they ever need help in the future, then we can repay them.”

Lin’s father thought about it and agreed. Right now, the Tang family was doing business and their life was not bad at all. Giving them money or something else would not be appropriate. Whatever they gave, the Tang family would return, so what was the difference? So, the Lin family decided to always remember this favour carefully and repay them someday, they would never forget about it.

After staying in their hometown for about ten days, the Lin family was about to return to Qing’an. Besides worrying about Lin Yile’s studies, Lin’s mother was also worried about her daughter’s health. She was afraid that once the herbal medicine ran out, and every day when they had one less packet, she felt as if her heart skipped a beat. It was time to return home. Otherwise, she might die of anxiety in this place while others were fine.

Not until they returned to Qing’an, they finally sighed with relief. They started visiting all the families to wish them Happy New Year. The first one was the Xu Family, who lived just opposite to them, then the Chen Family. Finally, all of them went together to wish Tang Family a Happy New Year. Their relations were quite good now. After returning, they could even gather for a game of mahjong, chat and laugh. It was pleasant.

This was Ren Li’s first New Year at the Tang’s. She was non-intrusive and intelligent. Although she was from the city, she didn’t look down upon villagers.

In the village, she would greet everyone with a smile, regardless of whether she knew them or not. Hence, in such a short period, she became familiar with most villagers. Of course, she didn’t bring up the past, such as matters about Sang Zhilan. She didn’t want to invite trouble.

Now, she was busy in the kitchen with Zhang Xiangcao. The two sisters-in-law chatted and laughed. Zhang Xiangcao was an ordinary rural woman, simple and without guile. She had lived in the village all her life, endured hardship in the earlier years, but now life was good. Tang Zhijun treated her and Sisi very well, always putting them first.

As a result, Zhang Xiangcao’s heart was at peace because she was grateful. She was thankful to Tang Zhijun and also to heaven. Even though Ren Li was only part of the family for a few days, but just like Tang Zhinian, she held great respect for this elder sister-in-law.

Ren Li could feel the goodwill from others. As such, as long as people treated her well, she would treat them even better. Hence, she considered Zhang Xiangcao as her own sister. She was someone who was very protective of her own. Now, the people of the Tang family were her family. If anyone dared to bully her family, they had another think coming.

The two of them were chatting and laughing in the kitchen while Tang Yuxin was organizing her herbs in the house. She also had Little Sisi help her out. Sisi had been akin to her assistant since a young age, so she was like a handy little medicine apprentice.

She used to be scared of snakes when she was younger, but as she grew older and saw them more often, she got used to them and wasn’t as frightened.

By the time the three families arrived, the Tang family had already prepared everything. There were dishes of chicken, duck, fish, and meat laid out on the table. Two tables in total, one for the men and the other for the women and children. There was also a mahjong table set up for entertainment after the meal.

When Tang Yuxin saw the guests, she finally changed her clothes and came out with little Sisi.

Seeing the adorable Sisi who was younger than their kids, all the dads doted on her by pinching her cheeks and patting her head. The number of red packets she received was countless.

Tang Yuxin also received some. She received six red packets in total. She had truly reaped a big harvest this time.

Lin’s mother specifically asked about the herb tea. She answered all her questions without any hesitation.

“This is an ancient prescription. It helps to regulate a woman’s energy and blood. However, it is most suitable for teenage girls. Once they grow up, they’ll need to switch to a different prescription. By then, they won’t need to drink as frequently. The herbal medicine itself has certain medicinal properties, but it also has some toxicity.”

On hearing this, Lin’s mother understood.

So, it was an ancient prescription. No wonder even the experienced Chinese medicine doctor who had practiced for decades couldn’t figure out what herbs were actually in it.

“So can this herbal tea make Lele normal?”

Lin’s mother asked Tang Yuxin again. Now, Tang Yuxin’s words were not only a confirmation to Lin Yile, but also a comforting assurance to her.

“Please don’t worry Lin Auntie, she is actually already normal,” Tang Yuxin knew what Lin’s mother wanted to know. So she told her everything without any hesitation. As long as they were careful in the future, there wouldn’t be any major problems.

Only then did Lin’s mother feel relieved. And then she went to help in the kitchen. Men could sit together, drink and play cards, but women had to be busy in the kitchen. Moreover, she had a lot of women’s talk to share with others. Otherwise, she would feel suffocated.

Tang Yuxin watched Lin’s mother’s receding figure, her heart feeling a bit sour.

Having a mother is really wonderful. It’s really wonderful to have a mother.

When she experienced her first menstruation in her previous life, she was almost scared to death. Wasn’t there anyone to inform her about what to pay attention to when a woman menstruates? She still bathed in cold water and drank cold drinks without paying attention to anything. Therefore, she suffered from severe menstrual cramps later in her life. It was not until she became a doctor that she realized there were actually things that needed attention.

“What’s wrong?” Ren Li came over and pinched Tang Yuxin’s face. “Are you envious that others have good mothers?”

“Yes,” Tang Yuxin replied, and then went to draw the curtain. She was cautious not to scare this timid woman with the jar of wine that had the snake inside, keeping in mind that she might break it in fright.

“Having a good mother is really great.”

Tang Yuxin lowered her head and repeated, “It’s really great to have a mother.”

“Naughty girl,” Ren Li poked Tang Yuxin’s forehead. “Isn’t your mother right here? Whatever you want, mother will provide for you. Come, let mother hug you,” Ren Li said in a loving manner and went to give Tang Yuxin a bear hug.

But Tang Yuxin quickly pushed away her “claws”.

“Don’t mess up my hair,” Tang Yuxin tidied her hair. “Last time you made my hair look like a lion’s mane. People thought I was struck by lightning.”
