"Since you've said it, happiness is related to effort and dedication. As long as we replenish our efforts and eliminate the things that drain our energy, how can things not get better?"
"My medical skills are not bad, my second sister-in-law has no conflicts with her mother-in-law, Brother Fan and his wife are understanding towards her, and Brother Fan is even more so, and Hao Hao is adorable..."
"While nourishing the blood, please ask them to put in more effort in taking care of the child. How can that not be good?"
Duan had stopped crying. She held Ruan Meng's hands in return. Her physical condition was secondary; she had stopped her internal turmoil, and her eyes were now shining.
Some words of comfort miss the point and only add to the burden.
Although her family was understanding of Duan's situation, they secretly believed that it stemmed from her personality...
Although Ruan Meng was unclear about Duan's personality before marriage, at least from taking her pulse just now, it was no wonder that she was so exhausted and depressed!
Upon hearing this, Fan Zizhong was very open-minded and took the initiative to apologize to the Duan family.
"Sister-in-law, after hearing what my younger sister said, I realize that perhaps my previous attitude, although I didn't blame you, added to your burden and must have made you feel even worse..."
"I apologize to you. When we get back, I will explain the situation to your sister-in-law. Hao Hao, don't worry about him. Just focus on getting better. Your sister-in-law and I will take good care of the two children together."
Upon hearing this, Duan nodded gratefully.
Fan Zili asked anxiously, "Little sister, what should I do?"
Ruan Meng replied, "There are still ginseng roots at home. I originally saved them for my elder brother, but we're building a house these days, so I haven't had time to go up the mountain."
“I’ll give the ginseng to my second sister-in-law first. I’ll trouble you to come up the mountain with me in a couple of days after the house is built, and we’ll dig for ginseng.”
"Otherwise, my eldest brother and second sister-in-law won't have any to use. It's not cost-effective to buy them in the city."
Fan Zili was extremely grateful and quickly agreed.
Ruan Meng administered several acupuncture treatments to Duan, who then became limp and drowsy.
Ruan Meng reminded him, "Second brother, you want to take your sister-in-law home to rest; she should be able to get a good night's sleep."
"I'm going home now to get some herbal medicine. My second brother will bring it over later. I'll give her one dose every morning and evening for the next few days. I'll go to her house tonight to give her acupuncture. She'll get better slowly."
Duan was weak and wanted to get up to express her gratitude, but Ruan Meng and Fan Zili held her down at the same time.
Ruan Meng raised her eyebrows. "Second sister-in-law, actually there's a way to help you recover faster..."
Duan opened his eyes slightly, and Fan Zili was the most anxious.
Get better faster? Hurry up!
Ruan Meng covered her mouth and laughed, "Second sister-in-law, you beat up second brother every day!"
"Beat up your second brother anytime, anywhere. If you're in a bad mood, give him a good beating. It'll make things twice as effective!"
The eldest sister-in-law pointed at Ruan Meng and pulled her eldest brother back.
Ruan Meng was rushing back to get her medicine when she heard Fan Zili's serious voice behind her:
"Hit! Hit me now!"
"Hahaha!"
Ruan Meng laughed all the way home, and her sister-in-law shook her head indulgently, "I never knew my little sister was so mischievous!"
The older brother glanced at him indulgently, then smiled without saying a word.
The second and third brothers had already unloaded the things from the cart.
Rice was laid out on the table, and sure enough, the eldest brother and sister-in-law and the third brother came over to wait for them to eat.
The third brother was carrying a steamed bun in his mouth; otherwise, he would have been starving long ago.
Ruan Meng quickly grabbed some medicine, wrapped it in oil paper, and asked her second brother to deliver it.
After sitting down at the table, Ruan Meng told her elder brother about what had happened at the He Family Restaurant, including her conversation with He Cong.
The more Ruan Qian listened, the darker his expression became.
While her elder brother was thinking, Ruan Meng asked her sister-in-law.
"Does my sister-in-law think I'm being a bit petty today?"
The eldest sister-in-law didn't think so at all. "It was Sister-in-law Feng who upheld justice. If she weren't there and there were fewer villagers, I would have gone up and scolded them!"
Fewer villagers...
Sister-in-law is just too shy!
Ruan Meng chuckled to herself.
The third brother put down the steamed buns, because he had to keep an eye on the family's supplies and help his second brother unload the goods, so he didn't rush over.
Upon learning the reason, he was furious.
"Hold on to something? What's there to hold a grudge about? You're being lenient by not slapping her on the spot!"
"My sister, we usually wouldn't even say a word to her, so why should she have to say it?!"
"Who does she think she is? Trying to sow discord and stir up trouble! Sister-in-law Feng is right, the punishment was fair!"
The eldest sister-in-law sighed, "My younger sister has good taste. Sister-in-law Feng is fair and not afraid of offending people."
"If she hadn't stood up and spoken the truth today, it's uncertain whether we could still act as intermediaries between the village and the He family restaurant, or whether our seafood business could last..."
