Song Yun, a modern inheritor of ancient medical practices, accidentally transmigrates to the year 1973, becoming an unlucky girl unloved by her father and ignored by her mother.
She didn'...
"Xiao Kai? Why are you here at this time? Don't you have classes in the afternoon?" Aunt Feng Ruyue asked Feng Kai while looking up and down at the young girl standing next to Feng Kai with a frown.
Feng Kai said, "This is my classmate from medical school, he came to see my mother."
Feng Ruyue curled her lips, "What's so good about your mother? She can't even get up from the bed and can't say a few words."
After saying that, his eyes fell on Song Yun again, his chin slightly raised, with an air of superiority, "Xiao Kai, your classmate has no manners. He can't even greet his elders. Don't bring people like him home in the future. If someone sees us, they'll probably laugh at our Feng family."
Song Yun smiled. "I don't even know you. I've never eaten a bite of your food or drank a sip of your water. How can you be considered my elder? You keep talking about etiquette, but you look at the guests with a frown and squinting eyes, and even use sarcastic words to suppress them. Is this what you call family etiquette? It's really funny."
"You!" Feng Ruyue was furious, pointing her finger at Song Yun. "Do you have any manners at all? I'm older than you, after all. What's with your attitude?"
Song Yun reached out and pushed Feng Ruyue's fingers away, her expression cold. "I hate it most when people point fingers at me. There are so many people older than me here. If everyone acts like you and acts like an elder in front of me, wouldn't the streets be filled with my ancestors?"
Feng Kai almost laughed out loud, but managed to hold it back. With a stern face, he said to Feng Ruyue, whose face had turned pale with anger, "It's my freedom to bring anyone home. No one needs to tell me what to do. Aunt, you should mind your own business." He glanced at the large bag in Feng Ruyue's hand and said with a half-smile, "Aunt, are you here to ask for money again?"
Feng Ruyue was so angry that she almost threw the bag in her hand at Feng Kai, "What do you mean by asking for money? This is something your grandmother gave me. What does it have to do with you?"
Feng Kai, "Aunt, please do as you please!"
Feng Ruyue lived almost permanently in the Feng family, never contributing a cent to their food bills, and even occasionally brought things from the Feng family home to her husband's. That was fine, since her grandmother and parents didn't care, and as a junior, he naturally wouldn't meddle in such matters. What he couldn't stand the most was Feng Yueru's refusal to behave herself while living in the Feng family. She used her status as an elder to dictate matters between him and his mother, and even instigated his grandmother and father to accuse him of taking his mother to the hospital all the time, saying that not only was she was wasting money but also that she was damaging the Feng family's reputation.
Feng Kai moved his cold gaze away from Feng Yueru, turned to Song Yun and said, "Student Song, my mother lives here." He led Song Yun to the room where his mother lived.
When she pushed open the door, a faint strange smell hit her nose. It was not the kind of very unpleasant smell, but the special smell that would be in the room where a person who had been ill for a long time stayed. It was a mixture of the smell of medicine and some body odors. Song Yun had smelled this kind of smell many times and was used to it.
After Feng Kai entered the room, he hurriedly opened the window to ventilate the room. Song Yun looked at the bed and saw that it was an old-fashioned carved stepping bed with a white gauze curtain. She could vaguely see someone lying inside the curtain.
It seemed that the sound of Feng Kai opening the window had awakened the person in bed. A weak female voice came out, "Is that Xiao Kai?"
Feng Kai hurried to the bedside, "Mom, it's me." He opened the gauze curtain and tucked it in.
"Xiao Kai, pour some water for Mom." Qin Meizhi's voice was very soft. If the room was not quiet enough, no one would have heard what she said.
Feng Kai saw his mother's dry, cracked lips and frowned, "You didn't drink any water all morning?"
Qin Meizhi obviously didn't want to talk about this. She closed her eyes and weakly pushed Feng Kai lightly, "Pour some water."
Feng Kai stood up and poured some warm water. He helped his mother up and drank a few sips. Then he asked, "Have you eaten?"
Qin Meizhi shook her head, "No." Seeing Feng Kai about to get angry again, she quickly added, "I just don't want to eat."
Feng Kai knew all too well the morals of those people in his family. "Since I went to school, I'm afraid no one has entered this room!"
Qin Meizhi looked bitter, "It's useless to blame mom."
