67 Seeking Medicine

“My mother is busy. She was delayed for a while just now, so she’s too busy with the family matters. If you’re not in a hurry, you can wait first.”

Da Bao had just watched the whole process of the incident and was even more impressed by what his Sixth Uncle had done. The incident that had just happened was still warm, but before he could forget who it was, he had come to his door. Don’t blame him for being cold and unmoved by his respect for the elderly.

The Sixth Uncle’s face turned red from Da Bao’s words, but he could not refute it. He could only suppress his anger and smile at the child. He really stood outside the door and waited.

Da Bao went back into the house and said to Mo Ruyue, who was sitting at the table and writing something, “Mother, Sixth Uncle is here. He said that he has something to discuss with you and is waiting outside the main gate.”

!!

“Eh? Outside the gate?”

Mo Ruyue turned around and looked at Da Bao in surprise.

Although this child’s temper was a little fiery and his personality was a little dull and awkward, he was still very polite to the villagers. After all, the original owner had abused them and it was Da Bao who had to work part-time for the villagers to barely survive. He still remembered this kindness in his heart.

Normally, such a polite Da Bao would not let Sixth Uncle wait outside the door, but he did it. It was really beyond her expectations.

Da Bao felt a little uncomfortable under Mo Ruyue’s gaze. He turned his head slightly to the side and secretly glanced at her from the corner of his eye. He didn’t expect that she was still staring at him and was caught red-handed.

He blushed and quickly said, “I’m not done sweeping the ground, I’ll go to work first. ”

After he finished speaking, he ran off like a rabbit chased by an eagle.

Mo Ruyue saw his embarrassed look and couldn’t help but laugh. The last bit of anger in her heart disappeared, and her face finally began to clear up.

She remembered that her Sixth Uncle was waiting outside. Although she didn’t know why he came, it was either an apology or a request, or both. In short, he wouldn’t come if he didn’t have something to ask.

Mo Ruyue’s face, which had just cleared up, turned gloomy again. She quickly walked to the door and pulled it open slightly. She said to his Sixth Uncle, who was standing outside, “Sixth Uncle, what wind blew you here? Didn’t we just meet? Is there something else you haven’t finished, and you want to add it to me?”

The Sixth Uncle was stunned. He thought to himself that Mo Ruyue and Da Bao were not biological mother and son at all. Then why did the mother and son speak in the same tone and words? If someone who didn’t know the truth saw this, who would believe that they weren’t biological mother and son?

Although he wasn’t being lectured by a child this time, Mo Ruyue was still his junior. Those words didn’t sound too harsh, but now he didn’t dare to argue with her. He just smiled at Mo Ruyue.

“Madam Qin, it’s like this. Your medicine cured my wife’s elder sister. My nephew offended you before and was embarrassed to come to your door, so he asked me to help him ask for a few more doses of medicine from you.”

“Let’s save her to the end and send Buddha to the West. Since we’ve already saved her, only you can cure her. For the sake of the old lady, just help her a little more.”

After the Sixth Uncle finished speaking, he looked at Mo Ruyue a little uneasily. This woman’s temper was really bad now. She would glare at people if they didn’t agree with her. Not to mention that he and his unlucky nephew had just offended her. It wouldn’t be strange if they were driven away by her on the spot.

“Sixth Uncle, didn’t you and your nephew not trust me before? If something else happens to the old lady and she says that I used the wrong medicine, I won’t be able to explain myself. So, I think we should just forget it.”

Mo Ruyue wouldn’t cause any more trouble for herself. She didn’t want to provoke others, so it was best if others didn’t provoke her.

Sixth Uncle’s face immediately fell, and his smile turned into a bitter one. He begged Mo Ruyue, “Madam Qin, it’s indeed our fault, but the old lady is innocent. At least the first thing she said when she woke up was to thank you. She just didn’t give face to us. Let’s save her for her sake, shall we?”

“My nephew isn’t unfilial, but his mother’s illness is very scary when it acts up. It has been torturing the old lady for a long time. In order to treat his mother’s illness, he has been running around to see many doctors and spent a lot of money. It’s not easy to see some improvement in your clinic.” Sigh. “Please help.”

When Mo Ruyue was listening to him, she had been carefully observing his micro-expressions. There were a few places where he blinked quickly and nervously, and there were also times where he looked sideways at the bottom right corner. This showed that his words also had elements of fabrication, but there should also be a 50-60% truth.

She remembered how the old lady had held her hand and thanked her when she had just woken up. The old lady had woken up once when she had treated her, but she had fainted again very quickly. She had thought that the old lady would not remember the process, but she did.

Although Mo Ruyue was not the kind of person who would take the initiative to help others, she decided to save the old woman one more time on account of her gratitude.

“I can give you a prescription and a few herbs, but I have a request.”

As soon as she agreed, she immediately added without waiting for her Sixth Uncle to show a happy expression.

“Madam Qin, what conditions do you have? As long as it’s within our means, we won’t even blink!”

After Sixth Uncle heard this, he showed a happy expression. He was afraid that Mo Ruyue wouldn’t mention the conditions. If she did, everyone could still discuss it. Besides, she also had selfish motives.

“You only need to take this medicine after dinner every day. If you insist on taking it daily, do not eat spicy seafood, and do not touch smoking or alcohol, you will have an obvious improvement in half a year or three months. Three months later, you have to bring the old lady for a follow-up visit, and another half a year later.”

“I can’t use my prescription all the time. I have to adjust it later. Otherwise, it won’t be a good medicine, but a fatal poison.”

Mo Ruyue stopped here and looked at her Sixth Uncle meaningfully.

“Oh, I was wondering what kind of condition it was. It’s only right. Even if we go to the town’s clinic to find a doctor, they still have to do regular follow-up checks. Since we’ve come to you for treatment, isn’t it right to do the follow-up checks?”

After Sixth Uncle finished speaking, he couldn’t help but rub his hands and say, “Also, I have another request for you, that is…”

He hadn’t finished speaking when he was rudely interrupted by Mo Ruyue.

“You can just ask me for one thing at a time. I can’t help you with more than that. It’s up to you to decide which thing you want to ask for.”

Her words made Sixth Uncle choke, and he couldn’t say the rest of the words.

He had originally wanted to ask Mo Ruyue to take a look at his illness. His illness had been there for many years. Although it wasn’t fatal, it was very troublesome and difficult to talk about.

However, looking at Mo Ruyue’s current attitude, she seemed to have guessed what he wanted to ask for, so she directly used the excuse of only helping him with one thing to shut his mouth.

He had come here with the excuse of asking for medicine for his relatives. Now, he was asking him to change his words and treat his illness instead of giving his relatives life-saving medicine. Wasn’t this equivalent to giving him a slap in the face?
