Chapter 117 Medicine
Lin Dan and his family live on the edge of the village. To get to Lin Dan's home from the more residential areas of the village, one has to walk along a bamboo path. The bamboo forest is very quiet, but there are also many mosquitoes.
Ye Wansheng first went back to the house built in the cowshed, and then came around from another part of the village.
He was quite familiar with the Lin family, and naturally knew Lin Dan's room better. As soon as he opened the door and stepped over the slightly high threshold, he saw the package placed beside the bed.
He was very familiar with the pocket wrapped on the outer layer. It was the pocket that had been sent to Ye Mu to hold things.
The handwriting on the package was still Ye Mu’s. Those words were so special that no one would forget them after seeing them.
After unpacking the package, Ye Wansheng found a square paper box and two bottles inside. He couldn't tell what they were. When he opened it, it smelled like medicine, so it should be medicine. He opened the box again and found a letter and some triangles folded from paper. It looked a bit like the small paper packages that doctors use when prescribing medicine, but when he squeezed it, there didn't seem to be any medicine pills or anything like that inside. He couldn't guess what it was, and he wasn't in a hurry to open it.
Ye Wansheng opened the letter first. The mechanical-feeling words on the letter were pleasing to the eye. The spacing was exactly the same, and the words were neatly aligned, like a line of words arranged on a piece of paper.
After reading it carefully, Ye Wansheng finally knew what Ye Mu had sent this time.
The letter stated that this was a tonic that she had specifically asked Song Yanzhou to buy, and that it could be taken by anyone who was injured or unhealthy, and that the doctor said it was very effective.
Then about the usage of this medicine, it is for internal use. The powder in the medicine bag should be dissolved in cold water and then drunk. After drinking the medicine in the medicine bag, take three pills of the medicine in the bottle. The two medicines cannot be used separately and must be used together.
Ye Mu sent a total of ten packets of medicine, and the medicine bottles also contained medicines that matched the ten packets, with about fifteen pills in each bottle.
It also says that one pack is enough for one person, and the rest can be used again after half a month.
Obviously, this was all prepared for their family, just enough for two servings.
He also saw that Ye Mu emphasized in the letter that he hoped his parents, grandparents and he would take it at least once to ensure their health.
Ye Wansheng read the letter over and over again.
In fact, most of the content in the letter was a description of the medicine that was sent, but one could also vaguely feel Ye Mu's worry and concern for them.
The letter he wrote before asking the Ye family for medicine should have just been sent to his sister, so these medicines were bought and sent by Ye Mu himself.
Ye Wansheng couldn't help but smile. They were indeed a family. Before he said anything, Mumu had already sent over the things the family needed.
How tall is she now and what does she look like?
They say girls change a lot when they grow up. I wonder if he can still recognize Mumu if he sees her.
Likewise, he didn't know if Twilight would be able to recognize them.
It would be nice if we could reunite sooner.
But when Ye Wansheng thought about it, he felt that it would be better not to reunite. He should let Ye Mu follow Song Yanzhou and stay in the Ye family in Sijiu City, where he would not suffer.
There is no benefit in reuniting with them.
He looked at the medicines, thought for a while, then took out three portions, put the rest in a sack and carried them out. Just then, Grandpa Lin came back from picking vegetables, and Lin Dan's mother and father also came back. It was time for lunch. Basically everyone returned home from the fields.
The three of them greeted Ye Wansheng when they saw him. Grandpa Lin's wrinkled face smiled a little more. He handed the vegetables in his hand to Lin Ge, asking him to wash them. Then he asked Ye Wansheng:
"How is your father's leg? The fields will be harvested soon."
Lin Dan's mother was named Yi Nuanfang. She had always been a gentle person. In the words of the villagers, Yi Nuanfang used to be a delicate lady from Zuoxiulou. She married the son of a landlord in this area, who was Lin Dan's father, Lin Pingyuan.
However, Ye Wansheng had always known that Yi Nuanfang was not in good health. When she gave birth to the twins Lin Ge and Lin Zhi, she developed a chronic illness.
Later, I suffered in the turmoil, so I have been taking medicine ever since.
Over the years, a lot of Lin family expenses have been spent on Yi Nuanfang's medicine.
Lin Pingyuan had a lame leg, an injury he sustained during previous looting and vandalism.
This does not affect work. The main labor force in their family is Lin Pingyuan and Yi Nuanfang. Grandpa Lin is also one of them, but the two young people dare not let the old man do too much work.
There was nothing Yi Nuanfang could do about her health problems. She had to take medicine, take care of herself, and do the work in the fields.
Otherwise, where would I get the work points and how would I support my family?
Fortunately, Lin Dan now has some means, so at least the Lin family’s two children no longer have to pay for their schooling.
Lin Dan can afford it, but who knows how much suffering Lin Dan has endured outside?
The reputation is not very good either.
Ye Wansheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart for his brother. He gave the two doses of medicine to Yi Nuanfang.
Yi Nuanfang could tell that it was medicine, but how could she accept the medicine given by Ye Wansheng? The house of the Ye family near the cowshed was home to two elderly people who were in poor health.
If she accepted it, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life.
"Is this medicine? A tonic? Take it to your grandparents. I don't need it."
Yi Nuanfang quickly refused to accept it, and Ye Wansheng said, "Auntie, please take it. My sister sent a lot of it over. It is indeed a tonic. She said it is very effective. Here are two portions. I prepared one for you, uncle, and grandfather."
"Don't worry, there are still some left. When I take them home, my parents, including my grandparents, will definitely let me send some to you."
"Then I have to make another trip. This tonic is also a token of our appreciation. The Lin family has helped us a lot over the years."
When the approvals were frequent in the past, Lin Dan and his two siblings would bring them the medicine in the middle of the night.
The Lin family was not doing well at that time, but because he saved Lin Dan once and Grandpa Lin liked to teach, their family received help.
Now that their family has external help, of course they cannot forget the people who once helped them in their time of need.
Lin Dan heard the noise outside and came out and said, "Your sister sent it to you. She doesn't know our family, so it must be sent to your family. You can take it back."
Grandpa Lin and Lin Pingyuan also agreed with Lin Dan:
"My child, the two old people in your family are in a much worse situation than our Lin family. If you have any good things, you should use them for your own family first. When you get better, if you have any ideas, it won't be too late to help our Lin family. If you don't have any ideas, just live your own life well, and it won't be a waste of our previous help to you. After all, it is to make people live a better life."
"My father is right. You are still young and have a long life ahead of you. Besides, our family has not helped much, and we cannot do anything to ask for repayment. What will happen to our Lin family then? We will be more hateful than that ungrateful person."
