Watching Li Chu and Liu Dazhuang walk away, Xu Liping nudged her husband's arm and asked, "Chen He, is that young man following behind Brother Chu his bodyguard?"

"Yes, didn't you see Wenhui's wedding last year? He was the one driving the car we were in."

"I didn't pay attention at the time, what level is Brother Chu at now?"

"What rank? I don't really understand military ranks either, but it's definitely much higher than what our dad did back then."

"Oh dear, I forgot to ask him about the medicine." Chen He raised his hand and slapped his forehead, saying with some annoyance.

"What kind of medicine is it? Who is it for?" Xu Liping asked, somewhat puzzled.

What medicine are you talking about?

Seeing the somewhat malicious look in her husband's eyes, Xu Liping immediately realized what was going on.

"Are you trying to get yourself killed? We're on the street!" She angrily slapped Chen He's arm.

"Hehe, what's wrong with being on the main street? Who would know what we're talking about?"

"If you say that again, I'm not going to talk to you anymore."

"Alright, alright, I won't say anymore, okay? Let's go have hot pot at Xu Damao's place this noon."

"Ah, that's so far."

"Take the bus there."

"That's more like it. Let's go. Hey, Chen He, does Brother Chu have any more medicine?"

"Didn't you tell me not to say it?" he asked his wife teasingly.

"If you keep doing this, I'm really not going to talk to you anymore." Xu Liping felt like her face was on fire even in the dead of winter.

"Yes, yes, definitely, he told me before. Why are you asking?"

"Then get me a few more pills, I'll give them to Rainbow, so she can let her husband try them too."

"What's going on? Is her husband impotent?"

"Hmm, what she told me doesn't seem to be working very well."

"You guys really say everything."

"What? You men can talk about women, but we're not allowed to talk about men?"

"You're really wrong about that. We men don't really talk about this when we're chatting, especially with our wives. Who's stupid enough to talk about this with others?"

"If any man speaks highly of a woman, I bet she's not his wife, not even his girlfriend."

"Hmph~" Xu Liping rolled her eyes at her husband and didn't continue speaking.

Actually, she knew she had said the wrong thing as soon as she said it. She didn't know about other men, but her own man's heart was definitely smaller than a pinhole. He couldn't stand her talking about which friend's husband was hardworking at home, so how could he possibly talk about her to others?

"Just wait, I'll go and get it from them in the next couple of days."

"Okay, remember to order more."

"Understood, don't worry, honey."

"We're outside, so don't make any more noise."

"Yes, sir. Hey, run a few steps, the bus is here."

...

Li Chu had just left when he remembered the medicine. This batch of medicine should be ready in the next day or two. I'll call him then.

The last batch of medicine only had one hundred pills, but this time he made nearly a thousand. He also wanted to give some instructions to the others to see if they could find a few people who weren't very good at using it to try it, or find someone who could work exceptionally fast.

Sigh, I don't even know if I can find someone like that. Things are different now than in later years. Many men, even if they have problems, rarely go to the hospital to see a doctor, mainly because they feel ashamed.

However, some people will inquire about it privately.

The women who marry these men are even more pitiful, living a life of widowhood without any means of filing for divorce. If word got out, what would others think of them?

All of this is a product of the times.

Wait twenty years and see if it still works? Sorry, goodbye.

Saying goodbye to you directly is already good enough. What's worse is that I don't say goodbye to you, but instead spend your money and give you a huge grassland. One isn't enough, so I'll give you an even bigger grassland.

Therefore, Li Chu believes that his creation of this medicine will definitely foster a harmonious family atmosphere and is a meritorious act that benefits both the present and future generations.

With my mind wandering, I strolled back to the hospital.

Just like the two days leading up to the Lunar New Year, there are still not many people in the outpatient department these past two days. Apart from a few critically ill patients, everyone else in the inpatient department who can be discharged has been discharged.

Those two students have also gone home for the Chinese New Year and probably won't be able to come back until the tenth day of the new year.

With Li Chu's recommendation, both of them will be able to stay at the main hospital after graduation, and they passed the assessment at the end of last year.

He turned off the main road and walked straight towards the administration building at the back. From afar, he saw his wife standing by the flower bed in front of the building, with... was that Qin Huairu?

Li Chu was stunned for a moment. It was just a back view, and he wasn't sure who it was, but it definitely wasn't Lou Xiao'e, because she was standing right next to Ding Qiunan with her arms crossed.

After taking a few more steps forward, he was now certain that it was Qin Huairu, but what was she doing here?

Ding Qiunan, who was facing the main road, also saw Li Chu walking towards her.

Where have you been?

"Just went out for a stroll since I had nothing else to do."

Ding Qiunan's sudden conversation with another person silenced Qin Huairu, who had been chattering incessantly. She turned her head and saw that the person was Li Chu.

"Dr. Li... Dr. Li."

"Hmm, what's wrong? Do you need to see a doctor?"

"No...no, I just...I just wanted to say a few words to Qiu Nan."

"Alright, you guys chat. Xiao'e, come in and sit down first."

"Okay, Brother Chu."

They left without a word, leaving Qin Huairu somewhat dumbfounded. She was waiting for them to ask a question before answering, but they just turned and left.

Li Chu's actions almost made Ding Qiunan burst out laughing; she knew her man would react this way.

Lou Xiao'e followed behind and went straight into the building.

After entering, he did not go upstairs, but turned left and came to Ding Qiunan's office.

"Xiao'e, what's she doing here again?" Li Chu asked as soon as he entered the door.

"Brother Chu, I really didn't know. I arrived less than a minute earlier than you."

"Sit down, I'll get you some water."

"No, no, no, don't bother, Brother Chu. I won't sit down. I came here to tell you that we're going to the old restaurant for lunch this afternoon. It's Chinese New Year, so let's get together as friends."

"Okay, who's coming?"

“They’re all old friends. Da Mao said he’ll guarantee you know them all.”

"Okay, no problem. We'll go over around 4 or 5 pm when we're free. We have a lot of family members, so let's make that clear first."

“I was just about to say that you should invite your eldest sister and brother-in-law as well. Jia Dong and his family of three are all coming, so the two of them won’t have to cook. Also, invite Qiu Nan’s parents.”

"Wow, what are you guys up to?"

"It was just a dinner with old friends. Jia Dong, Jia Yuan, and Jianguo are all shareholders, so of course they had to be there."

"I understand. We'll see if they're willing to come then."
