After Losing My Memory, I Mistook the Wrong Husband, and the Commander Doted on Me and Cherished Me

On the night of her wedding, the husband left for a mission as a soldier. For three years, Su Yueya dutifully took care of her mother-in-law. Just as she finally waited for her husband to be promot...

Chapter 42: Making the Ointment, with Excellent Results

After Su Yueya left, Sister Li looked at the paper for a long time, then folded it up and put it in her pocket.

These days, many people don't believe in traditional Chinese medicine and go to hospitals or clinics when they get sick.

But Sister Li is different.

She has a friend whose family owns a traditional Chinese medicine shop. Business is so-so, and most of the new customers come from referrals from old customers. Sister Li also took traditional Chinese medicine when she was a child.

So, she still believed.

That afternoon, Sister Li put the prescription in her pocket and went out.

When Li's sister-in-law was a child, she had a serious illness and took Western medicine for half a month, but she still didn't get better.

Finally, she went to a traditional Chinese medicine shop, had someone take her pulse and treat her, and only then did she get better after taking the Chinese medicine. So, Sister Li knew that traditional Chinese medicine was definitely effective.

She has a friend whose family owns a traditional Chinese medicine shop. After graduating, this friend took over the family's shop.

If I remember correctly, it should be downstairs from my friend's house.

Sister-in-law Li followed her memory and quickly found it.

My friend Chen Jinhua was dozing off behind the counter when she saw Sister Li. She was a little incredulous and thought she was seeing things.

"What brings you here? Come in quickly!"

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Chen Jinhua quickly went to pour tea.

After sitting down, Sister Li took out the prescription.

"I remember your family owns a pharmacy. I came here because I wanted to get some medicine."

Chen Jinhua held the prescription and looked at it for a long time before suddenly asking, "Your back is uncomfortable, has it been hurting for quite a while?"

Yes, that's right.

Sister Li nodded repeatedly and said, "My back pain is an old problem. Then, when I lived in that compound, someone gave me a prescription and said that I could make it into a plaster and apply it to my back to relieve the pain."

"This prescription is good. The person who wrote it for you must be a good person."

Chen Jinhua didn't sit idle either; she went to get the medicinal herbs according to the prescription.

When it came time to pay, the two started pushing and shoving each other.

"You can't do that. Doing business is hard for everyone. How can you not take the money?"

"We're all old classmates and friends, why give us money? We have plenty of medicinal herbs to buy, and some we grow ourselves, so we don't need so much money!"

In the end, Chen Jinhua only accepted 56 cents and returned the one-yuan bills.

When Sister Li came out, she was riding a bicycle. She hung the bag of Chinese medicinal herbs on the handlebars and the two continued chatting.

As they finished chatting, seeing that it was getting late, Sister Li finally got on her bicycle and prepared to go home.

Su Yueya had already gone back; the door was ajar.

After returning home, Sister-in-law Li went to find Su Yueya first.

Chen Jinhua was her old friend, and their friendship over the years was trustworthy. If she said the prescription was effective, then Su Yueya was also trustworthy.

"Xiao Su, are you home?"

Su Yueya was in the kitchen at the time. Hearing the noise, she washed her hands and came out.

"Xiao Su, I went to find some Chinese medicinal herbs today. Here are the herbs I picked. Do you think they're okay?"

Su Yueya took it, randomly pulled out a packet of medicine to check, and found that it was all correct and there was no problem.

"Sister-in-law, these medicinal herbs are good. You can leave them with me, and I'll send them over to you once I've made the ointment."

"Okay, thank you very much, Xiao Su."

"You're too kind, sister-in-law."

After seeing Sister-in-law Li out, Su Yueya closed the door and went back to continue cooking.

After the meal was prepared, Su Yueya did not eat; instead, she went into her spatial dimension first.

There is a machine in her space that is specially used for grinding flour. She used to use this machine to make flour whenever she needed it, and the flour it produced was very fine.

The herbs were put into the machine, and a few minutes later, fine powder fell into the small box that Su Yueya had placed in advance.

She carried the powder into the small room where traditional Chinese medicine was brewed, added spring water, and began to brew it.

The heat was increased to reduce the liquid, and the spiritual spring water completely soaked into the medicinal herbs, making them very viscous. Su Yueya took the medicine pot out and placed it on the open ground outside.

The rest is much simpler.

Su Yueya went out to eat and came back in after she finished eating and tidied up.

The Chinese medicine liquid in the medicine pot had solidified, and Su Yueya easily poured it out and placed it on a clean, thin cloth.

Next, I broke it back into small pieces and went to the library to continue studying.

The next day, Su Yueya waited until after lunch before delivering the items.

Grinding the medicinal herbs into powder takes time, so to avoid appearing too hasty, Su Yueya waited until the afternoon before taking the ointment to find Sister Li.

Sister-in-law Li was very grateful to Su Yueya and was deeply moved after accepting the ointment.

"Xiao Su, wait a minute."

When Sister Li returned to the house, she immediately brought out a large bag, which already contained five jin (2.5 kg) of Chinese cabbage.

"Sister-in-law doesn't have anything special. These cabbages were sent over by my mother-in-law. Please don't mind them, take them home and eat them."

"Sister-in-law, I can't accept it."

"Take it, take it. We're all family here, don't do that. If you keep doing this, your sister-in-law won't dare to ask you for help in the future."

Unable to refuse, Su Yueya had no choice but to take the cabbage back.

After Su Yueya left, Sister Li closed the door and went back inside, where she applied the ointment to her waist.

The ointment was cut by Su Yueya and wrapped in cloth, but both sides were clean and could not be stuck to the body.

Sister-in-law Li remembered that Su Yueya said that the cloth was not sticky, so the plaster had to be applied while lying down or prone.

After finishing her work in the afternoon, Sister Li prepared for a nap and put the plaster on her waist.

Two hours later, Sister Li woke up and instinctively supported her back as she got out of bed.

Normally, because of her daily work, she often wakes up with back pain, so she has to support her back when she gets up.

But today, her back pain was gone; instead, she felt a warm sensation in her lower back, which was quite amazing.

Moreover, after sitting up, she touched her lower back and found that the plaster was still stuck to her waist and hadn't fallen off at all.

After getting up and moving around, her back really didn't hurt at all.

Sister-in-law Li was very excited. After getting up, she checked the time and found it was already past four o'clock.

She quickly went to knock on Su Yueya's door.

After the door opened, Sister Li said excitedly, "Xiao Su, thank you so much!"

"Your ointment is really effective. I applied it before my afternoon nap today, and when I woke up, my lower back felt warm and didn't hurt at all."

Li's wife has been suffering from back pain for several years. She has seen doctors and taken medicine, but nothing has helped.

The slight pain relief it provides is not only useless, but also a waste of money.

Later, Sister-in-law Li simply stopped caring.

When her husband is home, she can ask him to massage her back, but Commander Li is even busier than Lu Zhengjun and is often not home, so Sister-in-law Li can only endure it.

Now that a solution has finally been found to relieve the pain, and it works after just one treatment, how could Sister Li not be excited?

Su Yueya was also happy to be recognized.
