Chapter 385: Menopause

The lunch box was opened, and an indescribable fragrance drifted into Shen Ying's nose. When she smelled it, she felt that her slightly tired body seemed to have energy.

"Wait, Cheng Qiao, can you let me have a bite?"

"Don't you want to eat?"

"I...I changed my mind. I'll just take a bite to taste it."

Shen Ying is also a studious person. Ye Jun and his grandfather are people of similar level. They both have good things in their hands, but there are rules among colleagues. The first rule is that you cannot steal each other's secret recipes.

But if you can figure it out on your own and then make some changes to it, even if your results are better than other people's prescriptions and your peers recognize them, then that is not your ability.

There were bowls in the ward, but Shen Ying took out a spoon from her backpack and scooped a spoonful directly into her mouth. The medicinal porridge rolled on her tongue several times before she swallowed it.

"Cheng Qiao, this medicine has the effect of replenishing vital energy and removing lochia from the human body."

Cheng Qiao nodded, they were all right, he was indeed the heir of a medical family, not only was his medical skills amazing, his tongue was also amazing.

Chen Ying shook her head again. The prescription was very simple and she would know what it was as soon as she tasted it. But she always felt that there was another medicine in the medicinal porridge, but she could not smell the taste of the medicine no matter what.

Cheng Qiao smiled and said, "That was a medicinal meal made with space water. If you can eat it, I can call you aunt." Jiang Meili was already impatient and stared at the lunch box.

"Here, no need to serve it out. Eat as much as you can. If you can't finish it, you can heat it up and eat it again."

Jiang Meili picked up the spoon, scooped a spoonful and put it into her mouth. The medicinal food was a little bitter, but it also had an indescribable sweetness. The sweetness was suppressed by the bitterness of the medicine, but it seemed to secretly emerge.

"It's delicious, Cheng Qiao, how can you be so good? This porridge is so tasty."

After eating two more bites, Jiang Meili was completely conquered by the medicinal porridge. Although she was obviously full, she just couldn't put down the spoon in her hand. Before she knew it, she had eaten most of the lunch box of medicinal porridge.

Yuan Qin just walked in with a bowl of white porridge and salted eggs. When she saw Cheng Qiao, her face looked a little unhappy, but she was still a member of the Li family, so she nodded slightly at Cheng Qiao.

Cheng Qiao also imitated her and nodded slightly. This action made Yuan Qin feel even more uncomfortable. After all, he was an elder, so how could Cheng Qiao be so rude?

"Meili, what are you eating?"

"The medicinal porridge that Cheng Qiao brought me is delicious."

"Oh my god, how can you take medicine blindly? How do you know what's in it?"

Cheng Qiao's face darkened. She had put in the world's only space water containing spiritual energy which was priceless, yet someone had speculated maliciously about it in this way.

But she said nothing and was about to turn around and leave. Jiang Meili became anxious and tried to hold Cheng Qiao back, but she used too much force and fell off the bed.

Chen Ying was still wondering what kind of vital medicinal ingredients were put into the medicinal porridge, and Yuan Qin was about to serve the porridge. For a moment, no one saw Jiang Meili's actions.

It was not until everyone heard the sound of "Ouch" that they came to their senses. Shen Ying and Yuan Qin hurriedly helped the person to the bed, but Jiang Meili looked pitifully at Cheng Qiao who was still trying to walk out.

"Sister-in-law, we are sisters-in-law. Don't be angry because of my mother's ignorance. I'm sorry. I apologize to you on behalf of my mother."

Yuan Qin was stunned for a moment, but her heart ached. She had grown up to be a daughter, but she actually apologized to someone else. Who was she doing it for? This ungrateful person, she didn't want to care about her anymore.

"Okay, I'll apologize, Cheng Qiao. I'm sorry. Please don't make things difficult for my daughter. I'm leaving."

Chen Ying stared blankly at Yuan Qin as he left angrily. Could it be that this man had reached menopause? His emotions were so unstable. He needed treatment, otherwise, if it got serious, people around him would be attacked.

"Hey, Auntie, wait for me, I'll take your pulse."

Yuan Qin was angry and would never listen to Shen Ying. She was still a small leader in the unit. Did she have no shame? Just thinking about the unit made her even angrier.

She was originally a clerk and had worked hard to climb up to this position, but her husband was transferred to another job. She no longer had her strong support and also faced the risk of being transferred.

But at her age, without any special skills, there is no place for her to go, so she has to grit her teeth and wait for retirement, and her life is really hard.

Besides, she just asked for two days of leave, but this one came to ask, that one came to check. Don't think that she doesn't know their purpose, they just want her to leave on her own so that they can take her position as the director.

Yuan Qin's mind immediately turned to her unit. She decided to go to work today to avoid those people who were always looking for trouble. She hurried on her way but did not see Jiang Hua hurrying into the hospital.

"Meili, don't be like this. You must not be too happy or too sad right now. You must stabilize your emotions, cultivate your mind and body, so that you can recover quickly."

Cheng Qiao turned his head helplessly, stood in front of Jiang Meili's bed, and tried to comfort her in a soft voice. Jiang Meili nodded, with helplessness and annoyance in her eyes.

"Cheng Qiao, my mother has changed in the past two years. She is not only like this to you, but also to my father and the people in her unit. She will scold people if she disagrees with them, and will curse people if she is unhappy."

Cheng Qiao understood that this should be menopausal syndrome. She tentatively asked Jiang Meili how old Yuan Qin was this year. Jiang Meili made a gesture with both hands, forty-eight years old.

Well, menopause seems to come a little early at this age, but it is also within the normal range. Yuan Qin asked Jiang Meili about her physical condition, and Jiang Meili finally woke up from her dream.

"Oh my god, my mom hasn't had her period in the past two months. Could she be pregnant?"

Cheng Qiao didn't know how to answer for a moment, but she became worried. Although the probability of getting pregnant at this age is very small, there is no guarantee that she won't get pregnant.

"Why don't you ask your mother to take a urine test, just in case..."

Cheng Qiao's original assumption that Yuan Qin was in menopause was overturned. If she was really pregnant, she would be an elderly mother, and she was sure that Yuan Qin would definitely keep the child.

"If it happens, it will definitely be a big deal, otherwise..."

Before Jiang Meili could speak, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure at the door of the ward and shouted happily, "Dad, why are you here?"

Jiang Hua was originally a small company commander in the garrison troops. Due to his age, he had no hope of promotion, so he was transferred to a unit as the head of the security department, where he had some power.

"Meili, I understand. Don't be sad. This child is not meant for our family. Take good care of it. When fate brings us together, we will naturally have a child."

"Dad, how come you have time to come here? Did you catch the thief?"
