Chapter 23: Call me husband, I will help you
"Mom, Nancheng is not sensible about this matter, but we can't be sensible."
"Now that Ranran is married, she is also our daughter-in-law..."
Mrs. Xie had just said this when her daughter-in-law came and she couldn't say anything else.
She glanced at her daughter-in-law standing at the door with mixed feelings.
Mrs. Xie's meaning was very clear. She didn't want Tu Ran and Xie Huailan to have such a bad relationship.
So I hope the old lady can persuade Xie Huailan, and she can also persuade Tu Ran.
Although this daughter-in-law was an adopted daughter temporarily forced upon the Lin family, a fake daughter.
But that didn't stop their family from liking her.
Mrs. Xie knew her own son well. With Xie Nancheng's character, if this girl wasn't good, would he have shared a room with her? And why would he even drink some kind of tranquilizing soup made by someone else?
Moreover, Tu Ran is good-looking, quiet, and polite to elders.
The most important point is that Mrs. Xie and the old lady of the Xie family both think that this girl is the lucky star of their family.
Xie Nancheng's irreversible blindness was cured in just a few days.
Doesn’t this mean that this daughter-in-law brings good luck?
So Mrs. Xie was unwilling to let her daughter-in-law leave the Xie family.
What she was worried about was that in three days, her daughter-in-law would not be able to cure the old lady's illness, and Xie Huailan would really kick her out of the house.
"mom."
"grandmother."
Tu Ran greeted him obediently.
"Of course, you came at the right time. Your mother was just talking about you."
"Come in quickly."
The old lady waved her hand, and Tu Ran slowly walked into the bedroom.
"Of course..." Mrs. Xie was about to speak.
"Mom, I want to take grandma's pulse first, is that okay?"
The daughter-in-law has spoken, and her eyes are as clear as water. Who can stand this child?
Mrs. Xie swallowed back all the words she wanted to say to persuade him.
"Well, you do it first." She planned to talk about it later.
"Thank you, Mom." Tu Ran smiled at her mother-in-law, and Mrs. Xie felt even more sorry for the child.
"Grandma, do whatever you feel comfortable with."
"I'm quite comfortable like this." The old lady smiled kindly.
"Auntie Ping, bring another pillow for grandma to lean on." Tu Ran turned around and ordered.
"Okay, Madam."
Pinggu belongs to the old lady. The old lady likes her granddaughter-in-law, and she likes her too.
After the old lady leaned back, Mrs. Xie and Pinggu stood by and watched.
Tu Ran squatted down, lifted the old lady's left wrist and began to take her pulse.
After about dozens of seconds, she opened her eyes and said, "Grandma, give me your other hand."
"good."
The old lady cooperated and stretched out her other hand.
Tu Ran closed his eyes and touched it for about dozens of seconds.
"Grandma, it's okay."
"How is it? Ranran, am I serious?"
"Nothing serious."
"Isn't it serious? I've consulted many Chinese medicine practitioners before and they all said that I damaged my lungs when I was young."
"Western doctors also said that I have some inflammation in my lungs that has accumulated many years ago and it is difficult to eliminate."
"I don't care what others say. Anyway, my grandma's condition is not serious with me."
"Ranran, can it be cured?" asked the old lady of the Xie family tentatively.
Tu Ran nodded, "It can be cured."
"Can it really be cured?" The old lady of the Xie family was a little bit unbelieving.
"Grandma, do you believe me? If you believe in my character, just cooperate with me and give it a try, okay?"
"Of course I believe you. Look, Nancheng's eyesight has healed after you got married."
"Grandma also believes that you are the lucky star of our Xie family."
"That's fine. I'll go out and buy some herbs tomorrow. Grandma will just need to take the medicine for three days."
"Three days is enough?" The old lady of the Xie family was still incredulous.
Because I have consulted many Chinese medicine practitioners over the years and even visited the most famous one, J City.
Over the years, the longest time I took Chinese medicine was one year.
The shortest time was half a month.
No one ever said that it was only for three days, so the old lady of the Xie family was not used to it at first.
"Yes, just three days, Grandma."
"If I can't cure you in three days, didn't I make a bet with Second Aunt? If I can't cure you, I'll get out of this house."
"Don't talk nonsense. Grandma is reluctant to let you go."
"Even if you can't be cured, grandma won't let you go."
It seems that the old lady and Mrs. Xie agree and both like this daughter-in-law.
But Tu Ran was stubborn. "Grandma, as a person, you have to keep your word. Otherwise, it's better not to say it. Since I promised Second Aunt, I must keep my promise. If I really can't cure you, I will naturally leave this family. Please don't be defensive. I know you and Mom are protective of me, but you also have to trust my medical skills, okay?"
"Okay, okay, grandma believes you."
When old people get old, they need to be coaxed with patience. When Tu Ran faced the old lady, he was really patient in coaxing her, and his tone was different from when he spoke to Xie Nancheng.
Of course, this is not to please her, but seeing the old lady reminds me of my deceased grandfather.
"Auntie Ping, Grandma doesn't need to be particularly restrained in her diet recently. She can eat meat, eggs, and milk, but she can't eat raw, cold, or spicy food."
"Okay, young lady."
"The temperature in Xiangcheng has dropped recently, so I hope Grandma doesn't catch a cold from the wind."
"Do we still need to continue drinking ginseng soup every day?" Pinggu asked tentatively.
"Ginseng soup?" Tu Ran frowned slightly.
"Yes, it's the wild ginseng someone sent me. They said it's a good thing and it's for the old lady's health."
"How long have you been drinking?"
"About half a month."
"Stop, don't drink it." Tu Ran continued to explain, "Although ginseng is good, it's not suitable for everyone. Ginseng is a holy product for warming and nourishing, but grandma has a damp and hot constitution, so she is not suitable for eating ginseng. Eating it will only make the condition worse."
"Ah? Is that so?" Pinggu was also dumbfounded.
The old lady of the Xie family and Mrs. Xie also looked at each other, a little surprised.
"I thought my cough was caused by coldness in my lungs. Ginseng is a hot-natured herb that can dispel the cold," said the old lady of the Xie family.
"Grandma, you have internal cold and external dampness. That means your internal organs are cold, but your entire exterior is damp and hot. So you can't generalize to just one side being cold. That's a misconception, and one that many people like to confuse. Your lungs are related to the lung disease you had when you were young."
"In my opinion, it's because of the capillary bleeding around the lungs, which has caused blood congestion. So the medicine I prescribe for you can't just be for relieving cough and phlegm and dispelling cold. I also need to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis in order to cure it completely."
“And the order is important.”
"On the first day, you must activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis."
"The second day is to dispel the cold and dampness."
“On the last day, I was able to stop the cough and reduce the phlegm.”
"So profound." Pinggu was not well educated and was confused by what she heard.
But Mrs. Xie had received higher education, and when she heard this theory, she really believed it.
"Mom, let Ranran try it."
"Well, then let's not drink ginseng for now." The old lady also thought that her granddaughter-in-law's theory was quite interesting.
"Madam, what medicine do you need? I'll go get it."
"No need. Some medicines may not be available in Xiangcheng. I have to find a way to see if there are any in the nearby mountains."
"Ah? Do we still need to go to the mountains to pick them?"
"We'll see based on the situation then. It's okay, I'll take care of it."
Although Tu Ran looks young, he has an air of calmness and dominance.
No matter what she says, you will feel it makes sense and gives you a very honest feeling.
After Tu Ran took the old lady's pulse, he gave her a few more instructions before returning to his bedroom.
Tu Ran thought Xie Nancheng was asleep, so he quietly lay down beside him.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she lay down, the man behind her leaned against her shoulder and said, "Call me husband, and if I'm happy, I might take care of this matter for you."
Tu Ran: ???
