Hearing this, He Yubai felt a warmth in his heart. His action of clutching his stomach was subconscious, but he didn't expect that Jiang Mian's mother would see it.
"Thank you, Auntie."
Since things had come to this point, He Yubai couldn't refuse any longer.
"No need, no need, it's nothing."
Jiang's mother liked sensible and well-behaved children, especially since this young man was also quite handsome.
Watching Jiang's mother go upstairs, only the three men remained in the same spot.
As an elder, Jiang's father liked to start conversations when the atmosphere became awkward.
"Xiao He, what does your family do?"
"My parents are in business."
He Yubai's answer was vague. He had visited some classmates' homes before and had been asked the same question by their parents.
At the time, he didn't understand the intricacies of social etiquette in this regard, so he answered every question in great detail.
But when those adults learned how wealthy his family was, although they said it was nothing, He Yubai could still tell from their instantly unnatural expressions that they were quite perceptive.
People's hearts cannot be tested, so He Yubai now prefers to keep things simple, not wanting others to think he is deliberately showing off.
“Doing business is good, but I don’t have much of a business sense,” Jiang’s father said with a smile. “What kind of business does your family run?”
He Yubai paused. He thought that answer would be the end of it, but he didn't expect Jiang Mian's father to keep asking questions, which made him not know how to respond for a moment.
Jiang Mian, however, came to his rescue: "Dad, their family owns a company, a big company!"
Jiang Mian emphasized the words "big company," and Jiang's father nodded thoughtfully: "A big company, huh? That's definitely not something that can be explained in a sentence or two."
"Indeed, there are always people better than you and the sky is always higher. Going to school in a big city is not bad. At least it will broaden your horizons and let you see how outstanding other people are."
Jiang's father spoke with emotion, indirectly praising He Yubai.
While they were chatting, Jiang's mother turned around and went downstairs again: "It's strange, we couldn't find the painkillers."
Jiang Mian seized the opportunity to scoff, "Mom, how dare you criticize me? You haven't found one yourself either!"
"Stop being so glib, go," Jiang's mother ordered him, "quickly go to your Uncle Wen's shop next door and buy some painkillers."
"oh."
Jiang Mian responded. Sure enough, after being home for a long time, he felt that his mother was starting to dislike him.
A short while later, Jiang Mian returned, followed by Uncle Wen.
Mianmian told me that her classmate had diarrhea and needed to buy painkillers. But these medicines can be toxic, so you can't just take them randomly.
Uncle Wen was still worried, so he came along and explained this to Jiang's mother.
After carefully examining He Yubai and asking some questions, Uncle Wen concluded: "It's not an upset stomach, it's caused by acclimatization issues. He doesn't need painkillers. I'll go back and brew him some traditional Chinese medicine, and he'll be fine."
