Chapter 77 Men are all visual creatures

"What...what is this?" She could barely recognize the clothes, but the other one...

"Jiang Wanqiu said mysteriously, 'These are good things. This is the latest 'health garment' from the South, worn close to the skin. This one is called a 'couple's relationship enhancement device,' also for physical therapy. It heats up and vibrates when powered on, and can be used to massage acupoints to improve blood circulation and remove blood stasis.'"

She continued making things up without batting an eye, describing sexy lingerie and rechargeable massagers with an air of seriousness.

Chen Wenwen nodded repeatedly in agreement. So that's how it is. No wonder she felt so hot wearing this outfit last time. And it was even more incredibly hot when a man got close! It wasn't because she was shy, but because of its effects!

Thinking about it this way, Chen Wenwen felt no more psychological burden when she wore it again at night.

Liu Cui looked at the excessively daring fabric and the vibrating device, feeling both shocked and ashamed.

It seems that only people from big southern cities really know how to do things.

These rural women had never seen such novel things before.

"How much is this? I'll buy it!"

Jiang Wanqiu quoted prices for these items based on her knowledge from her previous life, and in the end, she only paid a few dozen yuan and some grain coupons, which was considered the cost price.

Liu Cui quickly stuffed the items into her bosom as if they were precious treasures, covered them tightly with her cotton-padded coat, thanked the person, and left with Chen Wenwen.

As they were leaving, the two muttered to themselves, seemingly lost in thought, that Jiang Wanqiu was truly a master at dealing with men.

That night, the earthen kang (heated brick bed) in Liu Cui's family compound in the Third Battalion was burned from nightfall until late into the night, which was unprecedented.

In bed, Liu Cui's husband, who had become a platoon leader, tossed and turned like a wolf that hadn't eaten for half its life.

The man himself found it strange. He had a mouthful of spicy medicinal wine in his mouth, his tongue burning hot, and he sprayed it onto Liu Cui's old, cold legs, which were always icy cold. Then he used his rough, hot hands to rub them repeatedly until she felt like her whole body was on fire.

Not to mention that thing called the "Couple's Relationship Enhancement Device"...

When the thing started vibrating and buzzing against her skin, her husband's eyes widened, and he mumbled incoherently, "Good stuff... really good stuff..."

For the first time in all these years of marriage, Liu Cui felt like a precious treasure being held in the palm of someone's hand.

The next morning, her husband went to work humming a little tune. Before leaving, he heated up the last of the white flour buns in the house for her so that she could sleep a little longer.

Liu Cui touched her still slightly burning legs, feeling incredibly grateful to Jiang Wanqiu.

Those tens of yuan and grain coupons were totally worth it!

However, she still thought that although Jiang Meizi's method worked, she still needed to go to the hospital to get some medicine to relieve her leg ailment.

But to everyone's surprise, just as I came out of the pharmacy at the military hospital with the painkiller powder, I was stopped in the face.

"Sister Liu, are you here for a medical appointment?"

Lin Mengyao was wearing a pristine white doctor's coat, her hands in her pockets, and a professional, fake smile on her face.

Liu Cui was abruptly stopped, but she smiled and said, "Oh, it's Dr. Lin. My leg has been a chronic problem. I've come to get some medicine."

"Really?" Lin Mengyao's gaze fell on the cloth bag she had just put the medicine in, and her tone suddenly became serious. "I heard that you went to see Jiang Wanqiu in the family compound yesterday? She's a teacher, does she know how to treat illnesses?"

Liu Cui's face immediately started to burn.

She didn't expect the news to spread so quickly.

"No, no, that's not true!" she hurriedly waved her hand. "I just went to talk to her."

"Speak?" Lin Mengyao sneered, taking a step closer. "Sister-in-law Liu, I have to remind you. Treating illnesses is not child's play. Does Jiang Wanqiu have a medical license? Does she understand pharmacology? Your leg is a chronic condition. If you take some random folk remedies and something goes wrong, who will be responsible? Your husband? Or that clueless young girl? What medicine did she prescribe? Show it to me, I'll check it out for you!"

She was intimidated by Lin Mengyao's authoritative "it's for your own good" demeanor, but she was too ashamed to mention the medicinal wine and "health clothing." Her mind went blank, and she was sweating profusely with anxiety.

In desperation, she came up with another idea.

Using the cloth bag as cover, she took out the packet of painkiller powder she had just picked up from the pharmacy, hurriedly tore open the packaging, poured half of it onto another piece of scrap paper, haphazardly rewrapped it, and handed it over.

"Dr. Lin, Comrade Jiang didn't give me any random medicine. She gave me this, some special medicine specifically for leg pain. Look, it's just a little bit, not much..."

Lin Mengyao looked at the rough little paper package that she was handed over, a hint of disdain flashing deep in her eyes.

She took it, opened it with great seriousness, and smelled it.

"How can you use something with unknown ingredients?" she said sternly, but then deftly stuffed the package into her pocket. "Here's what we'll do: I'll take this medicine back to the hospital's lab to have its ingredients tested. For your health's sake, don't use anything she gives you until the results are in!"

"Okay, okay, I'll do whatever Dr. Lin says." Liu Cui felt like she had been granted a pardon and nodded repeatedly.

Back in her office, Lin Mengyao locked the door behind her.

She took the paper packet out of her pocket, carefully unfolded it on the table, and then took out a small medicine bottle from deep inside the drawer. The bottle had no label on it.

Her eyes were sinister. She poured out most of the white painkiller powder from the paper packet, then poured out a few pills from the medicine bottle, carefully crushed them into powder with a tongue depressor, and mixed them with the remaining painkiller powder.

After doing all this, she refolded the paper package, a cold and smug smile curling at the corner of her lips.

Jiang Wanqiu, let's see how you die this time!

Practicing medicine without a license, using counterfeit drugs, and endangering the health of military personnel and their families! With these three serious accusations, even if Zhao Wenchang is a battalion commander, he can't protect himself!

Anyone who dared to steal her thunder in this military region, this is what happens!

...

That very evening, the Third Battalion's family compound was in an uproar.

The door to Liu Cui's house was kicked open, and her husband rushed out carrying Liu Cui, who was covered in large red rashes and breathing rapidly: "Quick, call a doctor! Does anyone have a car?! Drive it over!"

The person was rushed to the military hospital by the residents of the family compound, and Lin Mengyao, who was already "ready" to take over immediately.

After a series of "emergency rescues," Lin Mengyao emerged with a grim face, holding the diagnostic report. She announced with heartbreaking anguish to the military leaders and family members who had rushed to the scene: "It's drug poisoning! The patient ingested an unidentified 'three-no' drug, which caused severe anaphylactic shock. If we had arrived any later, he would be dead!"

"Unregistered medicine? Where did it come from?" Liu Cui's husband's eyes were bloodshot as he grabbed Lin Mengyao's sleeve.

Lin Mengyao glanced around with a troubled expression, then sighed: "According to what the patient told me before, it was probably a comrade named Jiang Wanqiu from the family compound who gave us the 'miracle drug'..."
