"Zhiliao? There's rice in the pot. Your grandma said you were tired this morning and asked everyone not to wake you up."
Xia Zhiliao smiled and nodded. Her grandma was so considerate that she even let her sleep in.
Cheng Han also noticed that the little girl was staring at her medicine bowl, and said embarrassedly: "Aunt San is not in good health and needs to take these medicines. If you find the smell unpleasant, I will take them back to the house to drink."
Xia Zhiliao shook her head and pointed to the medicine bowl. However, although Cheng Han was gentle and kind, she had little contact with Xia Zhiliao, and was not like the Xia family who could understand her thoughts. She had no idea what the little girl meant.
Xia Zhiliao was also anxious and was about to grab it. After gesturing for a while, Aunt San still didn't understand. This made Xia Zhiliao very anxious, and sweat was pouring out of his forehead.
"This medicine? What's wrong with the medicine? I...you don't like it?"
Xia Zhiliao had no choice but to nod.
[It’s not that you don’t like it, it’s that you can’t eat it. Not only will it not cure your illness, it will also accelerate your condition.]
Unfortunately, Cheng Han didn't understand, "Then...if I don't take medicine, my health will be bad, right? Zhiliao, oh, what's wrong?"
Xia Zhiliao also discovered that when she gestured to other people in the family, they all understood. It might be that Third Aunt was new to the family and had not yet developed a tacit understanding with her.
"Can't this medicine be drunk?" Cheng Han finally understood something.
But she really didn't understand why she couldn't drink.
"Third sister-in-law, have you been troubled by heart disease?"
Xia Zhiliao turned around and saw that it was her fifth uncle, who always had a low sense of presence. Finally, someone who understood had come. She looked at Xia Jinqing with a smile, and the Xia family members picked up the little girl out of habit when they saw her.
"Fifth brother...how did you know?"
Xia Jinqing smiled shyly and scratched his head. "I... I've read some medical books, and looking at your appearance and the medicine you prepared, I feel that this is the problem."
"That's right, Fifth Brother, you can diagnose diseases just by reading some medical books, you are amazing." Cheng Han said excitedly, "It's this problem, I have had this since I was a child, but Zhiliao has always refused to let me take this medicine, what does it mean?"
Xia Jinqing looked at Xia Zhiliao, who nodded, pointed at the black soup in the medicine bowl, and gestured. However, Cheng Han didn't understand anything at all.
[You can't eat it. Third Aunt needs to take blood circulation, blood stasis removal, meridian dredging and pain relief medicine. This will be counterproductive and will only aggravate the condition. You need to take angelica, radix rehmanniae, peach kernel, safflower...]
Xia Jinqing also wondered how the little girl knew the names of these medicines, but it was exactly what he thought.
"Third sister-in-law, this medicine is not suitable for your illness. I think it's better for you not to take it."
"Not suitable for your condition?" Cheng Han was surprised. "How can it be not suitable for your condition? Fifth brother, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just... I have been eating this for so many years."
Xia Jinqing was gentle and calm, "So have you seen any improvement?"
"Hiss... you're right. I've always been sick and my heart aches from time to time. Fifth brother, according to you, have I been taking the wrong medicine?"
"I... am not sure either. How about letting Third Brother take you to the clinic? Don't take this medicine for the time being."
"What are you talking about?" Xia Jinyu came back from outside with a few big fat rabbits in his hands. He went for a walk in the mountains this morning and got quite a lot of rewards.
Seeing the man coming back, Cheng Han's face turned red. After all, they had just become a couple. Thinking of yesterday... she became even more shy.
"What's wrong?"
"My fifth brother said that this medicine is not suitable for my condition and told me not to take it anymore."
"Really?" Xia Jinyu looked at his brother, "Fifth brother, when will you be able to see a doctor?"
"Ahem... I was just reading a book, I can't say for sure, Third Brother, you should take your sister-in-law to a bigger clinic."
Xia Jinyu nodded, "Medicine can easily harm your body. If it's really wrong, then you can't take it."
Cheng Han nodded gently, "Then I'll listen to you, but does Zhiliao also know medicine? She didn't ask me to eat just now."
Xia Jinyu looked at the little girl.
[It’s over, it’s over. How should I explain this? Will Uncle San suspect that I’m a monster?]
"Third brother, you forgot that our Zhiliao has some talent in this area." Xia Jinqing hurriedly explained for her.
Xia Jinyu was just making excuses. The little girl's situation was so mysterious that he couldn't explain it clearly. "That's right. Last time our mother sprained her ankle, Zhiliao rubbed it a few times and it healed. She didn't allow you to take the medicine, so you can't take it anymore."
Cheng Han nodded and said gently: "If that's the case, Zhiliao is still my savior."
Xia Zhiliao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he had gotten away with it again.
The same goes for the two brothers of the Xia family.
The couple returned to the house, and Xia Jinyu wanted to verify one more thing, "Xiao Han."
"Hmm?" Cheng Han looked over and her face turned red.
"Did you just... hear the cicada talking?"
Cheng Han was stunned. "No... no, she's not... what's wrong?"
Xia Jinyu couldn't tell what he felt, feeling lost and a little excited. "It's okay, just asking casually."
Cheng Han didn't think much about it, "Maybe I just hope that Zhiliao can talk too much."
"Yes!" Xia Jinyu nodded. It seemed that other people really couldn't hear the cicadas' speech.
This child is close to him, and now he has helped his wife. He absolutely cannot treat Lezhile badly.
"Aren't you going to take me to the clinic later? Let's take Zhiliao with us. Also, I think if my fifth brother can learn medicine without a teacher, why don't we find a way to let him become a doctor? As for the money... my mother gave me some, but I don't need it. We are all family..."
Xia Jinyu looked at his gentle and lovely wife. He didn't expect that she would treat him so sincerely the next day after she got married. "Zhiliao has been to many places for treatment. It's not a bad idea to go and see him. As for Fifth Brother, I will discuss this with Second Brother later. You don't have to worry about the money."
Cheng Han had only heard that the family didn't have much money to begin with. She had some money, and they must have spent a lot on the wedding banquet. She felt that her mother-in-law must not have much left.
"You are still so distant with me, are you going to take me as your wife?"
"I... am not..."
"Okay, go ahead and discuss it. Second brother is a scholar with a long-term vision and he won't object." Cheng Han said softly.
"Wife, you are such a good person." Xia Jinyu wondered how he could have married such a good wife.
Cheng Han smiled softly, "You don't really treat me as a family member when you say that."
"No, I...I'm not good at talking."
"I know. I was just teasing you." Cheng Han smiled and pushed the man's face away. "I haven't sent the food I prepared for Zhiliao yet. By the way, check if the rice in the pot is cold. The child hasn't eaten anything this morning. Oh, where are mother and second sister-in-law?"
"Guo's daughter-in-law had a difficult delivery, so they went to help."
