Xiao Changhe was very conflicted.
Xiao Chunhua was also very conflicted.
As the future matriarch of the Xiao family, Mrs. Zhu reported the situation at ho to her husband.
In her letter to him, Mrs. Zhu wrote about how much Nuannuan suffered and was wronged for this family.
She also wrote about her own son Muyang’s hard work and intelligence.
Furthermore, she wrote about how unseemly Third Aunt Mrs. Huang was.
She always felt that if Third Aunt continued like this, it would make the whole family disheartened.
Purely never considering the family, only caring about her petty personal gains, and even competing with family mbers for benefits.
What puzzled Mrs. Zhu the most was: clearly a daughter from a scholarly family, yet willingly wanting to send her daughter Chun Shu back to the Huang family as a concubine.
This is sothing that disgraces the Xiao family’s reputation.
Mother-in-law was angry, Second Aunt was angry, she was angry too.
Determined to belittle the Xiao family’s daughters.
Fortunately, Mother-in-law directly quelled this matter.
Moreover, Chun Shu was not a pushover, she directly refused her biological mother’s arrangent, and even said she would never visit others in her life.
Xiao Chunhua thought about Third Aunt’s character, wondering if she would be angered to such an extent by Third Aunt doing sothing so outrageous?
For a mont, he didn’t know if he should speak.
Conflicted, he couldn’t sleep, and the next day when he got up, he had a toothache, with half of his face swollen.
"Nuannuan, do you have any suitable dicine to treat my tooth?"
Oh, it’s so embarrassing, being a man of stature, not being able to help, and having to rely on this younger sister for help.
"Elder Brother didn’t eat much yesterday?"
To welco their arrival, the family brought out the best frozen cabbage to serve, but these dishes were really simple.
Chun Nuan brought out the cured at from Shu City, cooked it, cut it into thin slices, everyone ate and was fine, it couldn’t be that only Elder Brother got inflad.
"Didn’t eat much, just prone to getting inflad, and once inflad, the tooth hurts."
About this toothache business, Xiao Chunhua really couldn’t complain enough.
"If the left side hurts it’s a bit better, sotis the right side hurts too, biting anything is fine."
Therefore, having half of his face swollen isn’t much of a problem.
"Is it only the toothache, does the throat hurt?"
"Now that you ntion it, yes, a bit painful."
"You really pick the right ti to get sick, as soon as Nuannuan cos, you get a toothache again." Xiao Changhe was both frustrated and amused, "Your elder brother’s set of teeth, probably need to be pulled to be counted."
"What’s the matter?"
"He often has toothaches, and when it hurts, he can’t eat anything, look at his frail body, thinner than mine."
"Toothache isn’t a disease, but when it hurts, it’s truly life-threatening." Chun Nuan said empathetically, "With bad teeth, it’s hard to have a good appetite, and with a poor appetite, the health deteriorates."
These are all interconnected.
"Can it be completely cured?"
Xiao Chunhua was very troubled, "It wasn’t like this back in the Capital."
Can the Capital and the Northern Desert be the sa?
The food is different.
The Xiao family is from a dical family, even the food dishes and soups, the tea to drink in sumr and winter, all have their significance.
Particularly for health maintenance.
In the worst case, if sothing feels off, they could check the pulse with the elderly and take dicine to feel better.
Here, there’s nothing, naturally, it feels difficult.
Chun Nuan took Xiao Chunhua’s pulse.
"Elder Brother, open wide, let have a look."
"Ah."
"Ah?"
Xiao Chunhua honestly opened his mouth wide.
Chun Nuan used a temporary bamboo strip to press his tongue and looked inside his throat.
"I’ll prescribe you so dicine to clear heat, detoxify, activate circulation, relieve clots, reduce swelling and relieve pain." Chun Nuan said, "Your throat, tonsils, and gums are all red and swollen."
"I was saying it hurts more this ti than before, turns out so many places are not right."
"Elder Brother, take this dicine, your throat might hurt for these two days, making it hard to eat, but still try to eat more, eat more to get better."
Elder Brother was too thin!
It looked like he was just skin and bones.
Sister-in-law must be very distressed to see this.
The whole family’s health worsened quite a bit after coming to the Northern Desert.
That’s why she thought it was necessary to co once to the Northern Desert.
Moreover, she decided that from now on she would co once a year, otherwise, she feared the family wouldn’t be able to withstand until returning to the Capital.
"Thank you, Second Sister."
Xiao Chunhua was very grateful.
He watched Chun Nuan prescribing dicine and felt a bit envious: If he had learned dicine with his grandfather back then, could he have solved so small ailnts himself by now?
Look, father’s back pain, his toothache, never dared to see a doctor.
Braving it until now, still using dicine and getting diagnosed only when Nuannuan cos.
"Right, Nuannuan, the dicine here is very expensive, sotis it’s not even possible to gather all."
