"Honeysuckle and Malva nut are indeed good options, but there are some differences between the three. Honeysuckle is suitable for sore throat caused by a cold, accompanied by fever. However, those with weak spleen and stomach should use it with caution."
"Sterculia lychnophora is more suitable for people who overuse their voice, such as those in special professions, like teachers or singers."
"As for monk fruit, it's more universally applicable. As long as Sister Huan doesn't have diabetes, it's the most suitable drink for her. Also, Sister Huan, you can eat more snow pears recently, and try to drink warm water to avoid irritating your throat again with water that is too cold or too hot."
The military wives listened to Qiao Xinruo's explanation clearly and logically, and like Su Yueya, she spoke in plain language, which they could understand even though they had no medical background.
"Wow, Xinruo, you're amazing! I'll go to the pharmacy to buy it this afternoon!"
In the past, when everyone chatted, if anyone felt unwell, they would ask Su Yueya about it. Su Yueya would never put on airs and would carefully inquire before offering a solution.
These are usually very effective methods.
Just like Qiao Xinruo did earlier, they would first ask Huan's sister-in-law if she had any other underlying medical conditions before making a judgment.
"Xinruo, you and Yueya are both amazing! People with real skills like you can go anywhere without fear!"
"Exactly! I'm so envious. If I could learn some skills, I wouldn't have to stay home taking care of the kids all day!"
"That's right, you two sisters are truly fortunate to have studied medicine. We, the women in this compound, have benefited greatly from it, and we no longer need to go to the hospital for treatment!"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Xinruo disagreed.
“Sister-in-law, you can’t say that. If it’s just a minor ailment, it’s fine to listen to my sister’s and my advice. But if the symptoms persist for a long time, you should take it seriously and go to the hospital for a check-up. Sometimes minor illnesses may seem insignificant, but if left untreated, they may develop into serious illnesses. Don’t delay!” Qiao Xinruo advised.
“I understand,” Sister Huan nodded. “I get what Sister Xinruo meant. If I drink monk fruit tea for a few days and still don’t get better, then I’ll go to the hospital!”
“Yes!” Qiao Xinruo nodded.
That's what she meant.
Relying solely on observation, listening, questioning, and palpation is insufficient. Sometimes, only a systematic examination can uncover the true cause of the illness and address the problem at its root.
While the symptoms may appear to have been treated, the underlying problem may not have been truly resolved. As long as the underlying cause remains, various symptoms can resurface at any time.
Qiao Xinruo wouldn't dare say she's an absolutely amazing doctor, but she can say she would never be arrogant or become a quack.
Aside from her illness, she and her sisters-in-law quickly started chatting about other things, such as what was happening to someone's child.
They also talked about Liu Shengrui possibly being a superhero.
Qiao Xinruo was thinking about the conflict between her sister and the Liu family, so she deliberately didn't say much on this issue. She was worried that if she said something in a fit of anger, it might have a bad impact on her sister. It was better to be careful with her words.
Speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao appears.
Just as the military wives were quietly discussing this matter, Liu Shengrui came out to play with his new pet, Xiaomi. He immediately spotted Lu Si'an, who was also with her cat!
The others did not notice him.
“Mimi, Mimi!” Liu Shengrui was overjoyed.
He held Xiaomi in his arms and, with light, cheerful steps, quickly rushed to Lu Si'an.
"Exchange!" Liu Shengrui shouted, squeezing his little cat in front of Lu Si'an's eyes and firmly stating, "Exchange!"
Liu Shengrui's idea was to exchange kittens with Lu Si'an, with him raising Milk and Lu Si'an raising Little Mi.
However, Lu Si'an was filled with fear of Liu Shengrui. She felt scared and unsafe whenever she saw him. She subconsciously hugged the milk that was being touched by other children tightly to her chest and kept backing away, trying to stay away from Liu Shengrui.
Lu Si'an stepped back, while Liu Shengrui moved forward step by step.
He was determined to give Xiaomi to Lu Si'an.
"Change!"
"exchange!"
Liu Shengrui's tone grew increasingly urgent, and he seemed on the verge of exploding at any moment, which terrified Lu Si'an even more. She clutched the milk tightly, afraid that Liu Shengrui would snatch it away.
"don't want……"
Lu Si'an refused quietly and kept backing away.
She would never trade milk for Xiaomi. Milk was their family, her best friend. She wouldn't even let Liu Shengrui touch milk, let alone trade it. Absolutely not.
"I won't change." Although Lu Si'an was afraid, her refusal was very firm.
When Lu Siyuan saw Liu Shengrui approaching, he was actually scared, but seeing Liu Shengrui pressing his sister and trying to exchange milk, he still bravely stepped forward to block his sister and the milk.
"Don't go any further!" Lu Siyuan tried to make his voice sound as fierce as possible.
"Don't you dare bully An'an!"
"We won't trade, we won't trade!"
Lu Siyuan remembered the adults' instructions. He should quickly seek help from the adults instead of relying on himself, his sister, and the cat to fight against Liu Shengrui.
After all, it hurts a lot when your face gets swollen from being pinched.
Children shouldn't fight each other; Mom said that's wrong.
"Auntie—Auntie—"
Lu Siyuan shouted loudly, and Lu Si'an, hearing this, also shouted "Auntie!" along with her brother.
Hearing the two little ones' cries, Qiao Xinruo quickly looked over and immediately realized something was terribly wrong—
Chao Xiong is here!
That brat was even holding a cat in his hand, confronting Lu Siyuan.
Thinking of Lu Siyuan's swollen face from being pinched earlier, Qiao Xinruo felt her hands itching and wanted to teach that brat a lesson!
"What are you doing?!" Qiao Xinruo was not as gentle as Su Yueya.
She shouted loudly, then immediately rushed to the two little ones' side, standing directly between Liu Shengrui and Lu Siyuan.
"What do you want to do?" Qiao Xinruo stared down at Liu Shengrui with a look of disdain.
This was the first time she had ever hated a child so much.
Liu Shengrui pouted and looked at Qiao Xinruo. After all, he was just a child, and he could only be overshadowed by Qiao Xinruo in height, so he had to look up at Qiao Xinruo.
Qiao Xinruo disliked Liu Shengrui, and Liu Shengrui was also very dissatisfied with Qiao Xinruo.
"Play! I want to play!" Liu Shengrui said.
He has always had poor communication skills and speaks unclearly, making it difficult for others to understand what he means. Only people like Zhang Cuihua and Mo Youyou, who live with him, can understand him to some extent.
At least Qiao Xinruo couldn't understand it at all.
"Who do you hang out with?" Qiao Xinruo asked.
Liu Shengrui pointed to Lu Siyuan and Lu Si'an behind Qiao Xinruo with the hand that wasn't holding Xiaomi, indicating that he wanted to play with them, and then fixed his gaze back on Qiao Xinruo.
