"Grandma, you're amazing!"
"Grandma, you're so good at fighting, can you teach me?"
Song Qing clung to Chen Suwen's arm and acted coquettishly. She wanted to become as powerful as her grandmother so that she could protect her mother.
Even though her mother is an adult, she still wants to protect her.
Chen Suwen looked down at the little girl and ruffled her hair roughly. "You little brat, you've got quite a few ideas."
Chen Suwen looked at Zhou Ling and said, "However, I can still prepare a medicinal bath for you. Your whole family should take a medicinal bath to strengthen your bodies and consolidate your vital energy."
"Huh?" Zhou Ling looked at her mother in confusion. "What are you talking about? What kind of medicinal bath?"
Chen Suwen handed Zhou Ling a piece of paper filled with various medicinal herbs, saying, "Here's a prescription for you. Go find a pharmacy to get the medicine."
"Although you are my daughter, I shouldn't have to pay for the medicinal herbs your family of four needs for a medicinal bath, right?"
Chen Suwen said the last half of her sentence to Song Che.
Although Song Che was somewhat suspicious that his mother-in-law was lying, he nodded in agreement, "No problem, we'll buy the medicinal herbs."
It's not a loss to buy the medicinal herbs anyway. It doesn't matter that neither he nor Zhou Ling are medical students; his friends are.
Zhou Ling also thought of her legendary first love, Comrade Su.
Su Qingyu, Song Che's rumored first love, actually has a lukewarm relationship with him. They are not good friends, but they are not enemies either.
If there's anything I can help with, I will.
Zhou Ling looked at the prescription. She recognized the characters on it, as well as most of the medicinal herbs, though there were a few she didn't.
She had no choice but to go along with her mother's wishes and buy the medicinal herbs to try it out.
...
Chen Suwen became famous overnight after arriving at the family compound, having beaten up He Yuxian.
Originally, the leadership wanted Chen Suwen to pay for the medicine, and Song Che also decided to pay for it. However, Chen Suwen simply threw a medicine bottle at him as compensation.
Her homemade medicine for reducing swelling and bruising is much better than the mercurochrome and gentian violet used in hospitals.
Of course, the one Chen Suwen gave He Yuxian was definitely not the most effective one; she wouldn't bear to give the most effective one to someone else.
The medicine she gave me was only slightly better than gentian violet or mercurochrome, and it had a very strong smell.
This medicine was originally intended as a prank for someone I didn't like, which is why I added a strong-smelling ingredient.
Now is the perfect time to give it to He Yuxian, someone she doesn't like.
Everyone in the family compound knew that Chen Suwen was not someone to be trifled with; even if someone disliked her, they wouldn't dare to mess with her.
What if I get beaten up like He Yuxian?
"It's shameful for a mother-in-law to live in her son-in-law's house."
"She's here to freeload, isn't she? A working-class family, huh? She's probably just going to her son-in-law's house to eat and drink for free and let him support her."
Some elderly women in the family compound who had also come to live with their sons felt envious, jealous, and resentful of Chen Suwen.
They also wanted a son-in-law like Song Che, who had a promising future and came from a well-off family.
They also want a son-in-law who can support them for a period of time.
Even their own sons might not be willing to support them like this, so seeing Chen Suwen eating and drinking for free at her son-in-law's house, they were extremely envious and jealous.
They whispered behind Chen Suwen's back, saying bad things about her.
Since those people didn't dance in front of her, Chen Suwen didn't care. She could only console herself with the thought that mediocre people shouldn't be envied.
Military hospital.
"Dr. Su, could you take a look at this prescription for me?" Zhou Ling asked Su Qingyu, who happened to be free of surgery and did not need to make rounds at the moment.
Su Qingyu looked up at her. To those in the know, the two of them were like rivals in love. She never expected that Zhou Ling could ask her for help so calmly.
"This is a prescription my mom got from somewhere. She said it can be used for medicinal baths. Could you take a look and see if it works?" Zhou Ling handed the prescription to Su Qingyu and asked her to take a look.
Su Qingyu took the prescription and examined it carefully.
Su Qingyu studied a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine. She learned traditional Chinese medicine from her maternal grandfather when she was young, and later went to medical school to study Western medicine.
Therefore, she can have surgery and also consult traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions.
She was initially nonchalant, but as she looked at the prescription, she couldn't help but take it seriously.
"Wonderful! This prescription is truly wonderful!" Su Qingyu became more and more excited as she read it. She stood up and looked at Zhou Ling with great excitement. "Comrade Zhou Ling, may I show this prescription to my teacher?"
"Don't worry, my apprentice and I can look at it, but we won't spread it around," Su Qingyu assured Zhou Ling. "We won't give out the prescription without your permission."
Zhou Ling was taken aback, looking at her excited expression with confusion, "Dr. Su, you're so excited, is this prescription... feasible?"
"It works! It's absolutely feasible!"
Su Qingyu explained to Zhou Ling, "This prescription can be used for medicinal baths, which can definitely regulate the body from the inside out and have the effect of strengthening the body."
"Moreover, if you persist in using this prescription, it can heal hidden injuries in the body. It's truly an amazing prescription."
Looking at her excited expression, Zhou Ling thought back to the nonchalant way her mother had given it to her. She never expected that this prescription would be so precious.
"Dr. Su, you can take it to your teacher." Zhou Ling didn't stop her from taking the prescription, but she still reminded Su Qingyu to remember to return it to her.
She hasn't gone to buy the medicine yet; without the prescription, she won't be able to explain it to her mother.
"Okay, Comrade Zhou Ling, don't worry, I will keep this prescription safe and secure, and it will not be damaged in any way."
