"Yuxin is too modest. With Yuxin's medical skills, she is unparalleled in the world!"
Zhao Yinglang chuckled softly and praised.
"That's right! Alright, I'm here to examine you, take your hand out!"
Upon hearing her third uncle praising her, Lin Yuxin raised her chin and said with a smug look.
"Hehe, okay!"
Looking at Lin Yuxin's proud and arrogant appearance, Zhao Yinglang smiled indulgently at his niece, who was adorable no matter what, and then consciously reached out his hand.
Lin Yuxin began to carefully take her third uncle's pulse. After a while, she put her hand down, looked at her third uncle, hesitated for a moment, and said:
"Third Uncle, because you were born prematurely, your body didn't develop properly in all aspects, so your physical functions are very poor. I've been trying my best to improve your constitution, but the results are not very promising. Many of your good conditions are only maintained by medication."
“It’s alright, Third Uncle is used to it. Yuxin is very capable. Third Uncle can now run for more than half an hour, which is something Third Uncle never dared to dream of before.”
Seeing Lin Yuxin's hesitant and guilty expression, Zhao Yinglang chuckled and comforted her.
He had thought he would be sickly for the rest of his life, and even if he gave up martial arts for literature, he might not be able to come out of the examination hall alive. Now, at least he was able to come out safely.
Lin Yuxin smiled but didn't answer; she was clearly thinking of a solution.
Third Uncle's situation is indeed troublesome. She has been taking care of him for more than a month, and it has only improved the situation so that he is not too tired after activities.
The congenital problem hasn't improved much, so it seems we still need to improve the body's functions. Lin Yuxin thought of the fairy dew that Zhizhi mentioned, since it said that diluting it with water could help her second uncle's wounds heal.
Moreover, she saw the effect; after her second uncle drank the water, even the injury on his leg was almost healed!
Then my third uncle's should work too, right? Should we give it a try? There's also a saying, "Destruction precedes construction," I wonder if that will work.
However, Lin Yuxin was not sure. She had obtained the fairy dew by chance and had only used it once. She knew that it could restore physical strength, but she was not very clear about other effects. So she was just collecting fairy dew and had hardly used it herself. She only gave Zhizhi a few drops when she learned that Zhizhi liked it.
However, she had no idea what other effects this thing might have. After all, such a heaven-defying thing was something that a mere mortal might not be able to withstand.
She looked at her third uncle, a thought forming in her mind. Suddenly, she grinned at him.
"Third Uncle, I have something good that I'd like you to try, but I don't know what its effects are, and the process is too dangerous. Are you willing to give it a try?"
Zhao Yinglang looked at her with a guilty yet sincere expression, which made his heart flutter. Is this what it feels like to have a daughter?
Zhao Yinglang pursed his lips and chuckled softly:
"Why are you being so polite with your third uncle? Can your third uncle's health get any worse? Just give it a try! Do you think your third uncle won't trust you?"
Lin Yuxin was stunned, a pang of sadness welling up inside her. Her second uncle was like this, and now her third uncle was too. Is this what family is? No matter what you do, they'll support you unconditionally!
Lin Yuxin looked at her third uncle, pursed her lips for a long while, and then spoke cautiously:
"Third Uncle, I haven't even told you what method you're going to use yet, and you've already agreed? Aren't you afraid it won't be cured?"
"Yuxin, you don't need to be so careful. Your third uncle believes you won't harm me."
Seeing Lin Yuxin chuckle, Zhao Yinglang knew she was under pressure and quickly offered words of comfort.
"Third Uncle, believe me, I can definitely cure you."
Lin Yuxin said something seriously, then went inside and began writing a prescription using her third uncle's brush and paper.
A moment later, Lin Yuxin came out, handed the prescription to her third aunt who was standing to the side, and instructed her:
"Third Aunt, this prescription only needs to be boiled down to one bowl with three bowls of water."
Qian Li took the prescription and looked at Lin Yuxin hesitantly.
Seeing her like this, Lin Yuxin asked softly:
"Third Aunt, please ask whatever you have to say!"
"Yuxin! Is this prescription going to work? How confident are you? If it really doesn't work, then forget it. Your third uncle is doing quite well. Anyway, I take care of him all the time, so I don't feel tired. What will I do if something goes wrong and I'm not sure about it?"
Qian Li started crying as she spoke. She had been quite happy lately because her husband's health had improved. Before, he would get tired after walking just a few steps, and he would be sick for several days every time he caught a cold.
But during this time, my husband took Yuxin's medicine and he wasn't so tired when walking. He even went for a run with the boys in the family every day, something I never dared to dream of.
Although I was still tired after the run, it was so much better than before.
But Yuxin just said that her husband's health has not improved. It's all just the effect of the medication. Now he needs to be prescribed new medication, and Yuxin isn't very confident about it.
Qian Li's heart sank instantly. What would she do if something bad happened to her?
Qian Li was scared. She didn't have her eldest sister-in-law's determination or her second sister-in-law's perseverance. She just wanted to live a peaceful life with her husband, even if he was in poor health.
"Third Aunt, I'm only 50% sure, so I'm leaving the choice to you. If you agree to the treatment, I will do my best. If you don't agree to continue the treatment, I will only prescribe some medicine to regulate my body and keep my health as it is."
Lin Yuxin didn't lie, nor could she lie; it concerned her third uncle's health, and they had the right to know.
"My husband!"
Qian Li was undecided, and she looked at Zhao Yinglang and called out hesitantly.
“Madam, there can’t be a worse outcome than before. I’ve survived all these years, so what’s a little more? It’s just that you’ll suffer with me and have to take care of this sickly man.”
"If I were to leave this world that day, you would be all alone. My dear wife, I am so sorry! How about we get a divorce? That way, if anything were to happen to me, you wouldn't have to be a widow!"
Zhao Yinglang could tell from Qian Li's appearance that her timidity had resurfaced. He felt sorry for her having stayed by his side for so many years. He could understand, but he didn't agree with it, so he started to act weak and said.
"No, my husband, I am yours in life and in death. If anything happens to you, I will stay with you. I will not divorce you! My husband, please stop talking. I will go and make you some medicine. Just wait for me."
Upon hearing about divorce, Qian Li immediately perked up, rambled on incoherently, and ran away.
Lin Yuxin, who was watching from the side, was completely dumbfounded.
[I never expected her third uncle to be such a sly old man! He's got his aunt completely under his thumb! I just don't understand why she's so afraid of divorce? Looks like there's some gossip going on!]
"Third Uncle! Is Third Aunt so afraid of you?"
Lin Yuxin looked at Zhao Yinglang with curiosity and asked why her third aunt was so afraid of divorce, but she didn't dare to ask such a private question, so she could only ask it in a more tactful way.
"Children shouldn't meddle in adult matters!"
Zhao Yinglang glared at Lin Yuxin with annoyance, but didn't elaborate.
"mean!"
Lin Yuxin pouted and plopped down on a stone bench to wait for her medicine.
