Not only did Ms. Zhuang regain her health, but it also brought a major investnt to Yan City.
Why not?
Old Sir He was noncommittal, "I only have so much skill, don’t get your hopes too high. Her body has long been rotten."
Lin Chuxia quickly nodded. When Minister Wei ntioned Ms. Zhuang’s condition earlier, she had already guessed it.
If it hadn’t reached an irreversible point, how could it have beco her final wish fulfilled in the country?
However, Lin Chuxia also had her own ideas.
She was confident in her master’s dical skills. Even if it couldn’t cure the disease imdiately, it should be possible to reduce Ms. Zhuang’s pain and prolong her life.
Moreover, she still had the spiritual spring water.
Just now, while brewing the dicine, she had added so spiritual spring water into it.
She hadn’t put much for now; she would gradually add it based on the situation.
This was also another reason why she took on the task of brewing the dicine.
It could also be considered as contributing to the economic developnt of Yan City.
Just as the dicine was almost ready, Zhuang Yang returned on ti.
The Chinese dicine was put directly into a thermos bottle, which kept it warm and easy to carry.
Zhuang Yang thanked her politely. He was genuinely grateful to Lin Chuxia and Old Sir He.
Previously skeptical of traditional Chinese dicine, he was now full of expectation for this thermos bottle of dicine.
Not long after, Qin Yang also ca.
He knew that Lin Chuxia and Old Sir He were going with Minister Wei to see a patient today.
After work, when he found Lin Chuxia was not ho, he thought she might be at Old Sir He’s place.
Seeing Qin Yang arrive, Old Sir He directly shooed him away, putting on a coat and bluntly saying he was going out for a al.
The two of them were left amused and exasperated.
On the way back, Lin Chuxia recalled her first impression of Old Sir He and couldn’t help but sigh.
"Clearly, he’s a gluttonous old man, yet he lived like a beggar. Not to ntion dining out; back then, even basic als might have been a problem for him."
At that ti, Old Sir He was in rags, almost skin and bones, and his eyes were lifeless, only staring numbly at the train station, truly looking pitiful.
Qin Yang reached out and held Lin Chuxia’s small hand, glancing at her, "My wife is a kind person."
Kind?
Lin Chuxia hadn’t thought about it that way.
In her past life, she had too many regrets. Now, given the chance to live again, she just wanted to make up for others’ regrets.
"Maybe I’m just destined to et my master."
Speaking of destiny, Lin Chuxia thought of today’s events.
"By the way, I didn’t expect to run into an acquaintance today while visiting the patient with Minister Wei."
Qin Yang turned his head and raised an eyebrow at her.
She explained the day’s events to Qin Yang, finally remarking, "I didn’t expect Bai Qifeng and Minister Wei to be old classmates."
As it happened, Bai Qifeng bumped into Sister-in-law Gong, barely recognizing her due to her change. Only after inquiring did he learn that Sister-in-law Gong had such an accomplished traditional Chinese dicine practitioner here, so he wanted the master to check on Ms. Zhuang.
Qin Yang was quite surprised by the identity of the patient, "Turns out she’s an overseas Chinese."
No wonder Minister Wei got personally involved.
In the current state of the nation’s poverty, he understood the emphasis local governnts placed on foreign investnt from his position.
Lin Chuxia nodded, "She went abroad because of family matters earlier on, and in the past two years, hearing about the relaxation of dostic policies, the treatnt towards them hasn’t been... So she thought about returning to take a look. After all, every person away from ho probably dreams of returning to their roots. She caught a cold just after returning for the Chinese New Year and fell ill."
She looked at Qin Yang and smiled, "Ms. Zhuang’s arrival is highly valued by Yan City’s leadership. Bai Qifeng is in charge of this area and is afraid the God of Wealth might fall ill or leave because of illness."
"Bai Qifeng is that kind of person."
Qin Yang hadn’t interacted with Bai Qifeng, but he’d heard plenty about him from his wife.
When he was in Ancheng City, Bai Qifeng also strongly encouraged individual economic developnt.
His wife’s individual business could thrive so rapidly, and it was inseparably linked to Bai Qifeng, who used to be the county magistrate of Ancheng County.
Especially when opposing the Old Food Factory, Bai Qifeng stood out and spoke on behalf of Lin Chuxia.
As for later persuading Lin Chuxia to take over the Old Food Factory, in any aspect, he was a leader who could accomplish practical matters.
...............
In the following days, Lin Chuxia would go to Old Sir He’s place regularly, diligently acting as his little dicine apprentice.
Old Sir He was quite annoyed by her, repeatedly saying she was disturbing his peace and telling her not to co again.
Lin Chuxia knew Old Sir He was worried about her getting tired.
In fact, Lin Chuxia herself, after passing the fourth month, no longer experienced any pregnancy sickness. Aside from her growing belly and her body’s increased heaviness, she didn’t find anything particularly inconvenient.
Now with the flowers blooming and the snow lted, plus her own good health, she felt that moving around made her body feel even lighter.
Zhuang Yang waited every day for the dicine to be brewed. Over ti, he seed to have beco immune to the sll of Chinese dicine.
Occasionally, he would squat nearby, discussing traditional Chinese dicine knowledge with Old Sir He and Lin Chuxia.
It wasn’t surprising he was becoming increasingly interested in traditional Chinese dicine; having personally witnessed its wonders.
After one course of treatnt, Ms. Zhuang’s ntal state improved significantly.
Previously bedridden and relying on a nurse’s help even to get out of bed,
now not only was she able to get up and handle her own daily activities, but she also occasionally ventured out to walk in the courtyard.
After one treatnt course, Old Sir He re-examined Ms. Zhuang and adjusted the prescription.
This ti, the prescription included more nourishing herbs.
Though mild, these herbs gradually nourished Ms. Zhuang’s long-depleted body, bringing unexpected effects despite their gentle nature.
Combined with Lin Chuxia’s spiritual spring water, Ms. Zhuang’s condition visibly improved in Zhuang Yang’s eyes.
This day, not only did Zhuang Yang visit, but he also brought Ms. Zhuang along.
Lin Chuxia was in the yard helping Old Sir He plant vegetables. Although she called it helping, most of the work was done by Old Sir He, with her just acting as so sort of good-luck charm.
The herbs were still steeping; it wasn’t ti yet.
Hearing voices at the gate, she knew Zhuang Yang had arrived and was surprised at how early it was today. Then she saw Ms. Zhuang following him.
Quickly, she stood up and went to greet them, "Ms. Zhuang, what brings you here?"
"I’ve been so bored staying at the guesthouse every day. Seeing the good weather today, I decided to co over with Zhuang Yang. I hope we’re not disturbing you and Old Master?"
Old Sir He was still squatting in the field, planting his beans, evidently undisturbed by their arrival.
In the eyes of Ms. Zhuang and Zhuang Yang, Old Sir He was an eccentric old man, yet they didn’t mind at all.
In their understanding, truly skilled people always had unusual tempers.
Ms. Zhuang respectfully stepped forward and politely greeted Old Sir He.
