Chapter 65

65 New Year’s Eve (3)

Su Xiaoxiao suddenly wanted to buy a pair of couplets, but unfortunately, there was nothing left in the shops.

—

When Su Xiaoxiao arrived at Spring Willow Lane, the Fu family’s courtyard door was ajar. There were a few small footprints in the snow.

Su Xiaoxiao immediately concluded that Physician Fu still hadn’t returned last night.

“Aunt Fu, I’m here.”

Su Xiaoxiao pushed open the courtyard door and went to Aunt Fu’s room.

Aunt Fu was sitting on the bed taking medicine. As soon as she heard Su Xiaoxiao’s voice, an awkward and flustered expression flashed across her face. She hurriedly placed the medicine box on the stool at the side and turned to look inside the bed.

However, she suddenly felt that it was inappropriate to leave it outside and hid the medicine box under the blanket.

When Su Xiaoxiao crossed the threshold, she had already turned her head to the side and willfully threw Su Xiaoxiao a side profile.

Su Xiaoxiao came to the bed in amusement. “Aunt Fu, how do you feel today?”

“I won’t die!” Aunt Fu said angrily.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “Yo, you’re very energetic. It seems that the medicine worked well. You don’t feel uncomfortable anymore, right? Your face is a little rosy. Did you sleep well last night?”

Aunt Fu snorted. “What’s so good about it! Can’t you see that my leg is broken!”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “I gave you painkillers.”

Wei Ting had not finished the painkillers. He was not afraid of pain, so Su Xiaoxiao had some painkillers left.

“Hmph!” Aunt Fu said stubbornly, “Your medicine is ineffective!”

“It’s ineffective? Then where did the medicine I left for you go?” Su Xiaoxiao looked at the empty stool and asked.

Aunt Fu said, “Thrown it away!”

Su Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and held back her laughter.

“What are you laughing at!” Aunt Fu glared.

Su Xiaoxiao pouted and gestured for Aunt Fu to look at her blanket.

Aunt Fu looked down and saw that the blanket was not covered properly, revealing a few pills.

“Haha!”

If she had to laugh, she would laugh. Su Xiaoxiao wouldn’t let go of the opportunity to let the little old lady die of embarrassment.

Aunt Fu’s face turned red!

To be honest, she didn’t believe that the medicine Su Xiaoxiao gave her would be effective at first.

Firstly, Su Xiaoxiao was just a girl from the countryside and couldn’t know medicine.

Secondly, she had never seen those strange pills. Her husband practiced medicine, and so did her son. Even if she was not a doctor, she had more knowledge than others, but she had never seen a treatment method like Su Xiaoxiao’s.

However, at night, her panic disappeared, and her headache lessened. She shook her head and did not feel as dizzy as usual.

As for the pain in her leg, it was not too noticeable.

When she woke up at dawn, she realized that she had slept well. She couldn’t remember the last time she slept so soundly.

“When one is old, it’s inevitable that there will be some problems. One will not become terminally ill all of a sudden, but it will aggravate bit by bit over time. This is the rule of birth, aging, illness, and death. You can’t treat it.”

Her husband had practiced medicine for many years and treated countless people. In the end, didn’t he die of illness?

Her husband’s initial symptoms were the same as hers. He had changed countless prescriptions. At first, it was indeed effective, but not long after, the efficacy became weak. In the end, no prescription proved to be useful.

Su Xiaoxiao took out a stethoscope and a sphygmomanometer to measure her blood pressure. “You just got better. Don’t be so pessimistic. Your mood is imperative to recovery.”

Aunt Fu’s condition needed long-term control, but as long as it was controlled correctly, she could still live a long and healthy life.

In her previous life, the old lady upstairs was also a patient with high blood pressure. She was in her eighties and took care of her grandchildren every day.

Aunt Fu had witnessed her husband’s death with her own eyes. Repeated disappointments destroyed her will. She did not want to experience it another time.

Therefore, even if there was some improvement, she did not believe that she could completely recover.

Su Xiaoxiao understood the patient’s mentality. She was not in a hurry to persuade her with words. She would know when the time came.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “Have you eaten breakfast? Did your neighbors send it over? Is it delicious?”

Aunt Fu said, “You’re so noisy!”

....

After leaving Aunt Fu’s house, Su Xiaoxiao had an extra bag of sesame seeds in her basket.

There was also a consultation fee!

Then, Su Xiaoxiao went to Wutong Academy.

Young Master Xiang cooperated much better and obediently let Su Xiaoxiao check.

“You’re recovering very well,” Su Xiaoxiao said. “Continue to consume the herbs. Your diet must be light too. Don’t indulge in eating and drinking during the new year. Also, don’t drink alcohol!”

Young Master Xiang smiled warmly. “Okay.”

Changping rolled his eyes. Who do you think you are, talking to my young master like this?

Su Xiaoxiao pointed at Changping and complained, “He’s rolling his eyes at me!”

Young Master Xiang said seriously, “Then I’ll dig out his eyeballs to apologize to Miss Su.”

Changping was shocked by his words!

Su Xiaoxiao was also stunned. “...There’s no need.”

Young Master Xiang looked at the little fat girl’s stunned expression and couldn’t help but laugh softly.
