Chapter 47: Aunts Who Don’t Take Advantage (Revised)
As soon as Lin Qingqing left the house, everyone started talking about how Lin Qingqing and Song Yiyuan were a good match, and so on. Anyway, they were all good things.
Several aunts in the house were still sitting upright. The grandchildren brought by the aunts had all run out to play, and the older children were still sitting quietly.
When Xiaomei, my cousin from my aunt's family, thought of the glamorous Lin Qingqing, she was so envious that she couldn't speak. She had just been rejected by her fiancé, and now she felt very uncomfortable attending someone else's wedding.
She saw the yellow pills on the desk and thought they were candy beans.
When Lin Qingqing came in, she saw her put one in her mouth.
She smiled and reminded, "Those are medicines, not sugar particles, but it won't hurt to take one."
Xiaomei immediately spat out the pill, her face flushed as she lowered her head.
Auntie also felt embarrassed and her face turned red: "Xiaomei, why did you touch your cousin's things? Apologize to your cousin quickly."
The eldest aunt quickly changed the subject, her words full of concern: "Qingqing, what's wrong with you? Why are you taking medicine?"
Lin Qingqing used her hands to measure herself up and down: "Aunt, I look so lively, don't I look unwell? This is what I made for my parents. They work hard all year round, so they must have some aches and pains."
The eldest aunt smiled mischievously, then said in surprise: "Qingqing, you can make medicine? When did you learn it?"
"I learned this from someone who was sent down to the countryside. If someone at home is sick, we don't need to go to the hospital anymore."
As she said that, she opened the drawer, took out three bottles of pills, and gave one bottle to each of her eldest aunt, second aunt, and third aunt.
"Aunt, Aunt, and Third Aunt, take a bottle of Huixian and take one pill every night. Your pain should be reduced by more than half."
Seeing that Lin Qingqing really gave everyone a bottle, Xiaomei muttered, "This isn't medicine prescribed by a doctor. What if something goes wrong if I take it carelessly?"
Just then, Zhang Guilian came in with a few bowls of sugar tea. Upon hearing Xiaomei's words, she quickly retorted, "The medicine the doctor prescribed is not as good as this. Dad and Mom are visibly feeling much better after taking it. Everyone in the army here asks Qingqing to buy medicine from them. It's state-approved. Do you think this medicine is safe to take?"
"Third sister-in-law." Lin Qingqing quickly stopped Zhang Guilian from talking. She didn't want to spread this matter.
Third Aunt glared and asked, "Daqing's wife, you...are you saying that the army is looking for Qingqing to buy medicine?"
Seeing Lin Qingqing's unhappy face, Zhang Guilian neither nodded nor shook her head. She said, "Aunt, you guys sit down first. I'm busy outside." Then she left in a hurry.
The eldest aunt stuffed the medicine bottle back into Lin Qingqing's hands and said, "This medicine is so precious, we can't take it. Qingqing, you can sell it."
Auntie No. 1 and Auntie No. 3 also put the medicine back on the table.
"This isn't the medicine Third Sister-in-law is talking about. This is something I made for my family. The herbs were picked from the mountains, so it took some effort. Take it. I'll be unhappy if you don't take it."
After hearing this, the eldest aunt took the medicine back, and the second and third aunts also took it back.
They didn't want their niece to be unhappy on her wedding day.
Lin Qingqing smiled. These aunts were not the kind of people who liked to take advantage of others, nor were they the kind of people who liked to exploit loopholes.
Xiaomei couldn't come back to her senses for a long time. When did her cousin become so capable, selling medicine to the army?
Such a glorious thing was made by that lazy cousin?
After being stunned for a while, she thought about how they had played together since childhood, and how her cousin was now married to an officer and could do such an honorable thing for the country, while she had just been divorced two days ago. Xiaomei's expression gradually darkened.
