Lin Jin returned home and hurriedly entered her spatial dimension, finding the medicinal herbs she needed. She planned to prepare the medicine for Liu Yilan's son that very night. Inside the space, Lin Jin carefully selected and combined the herbs, relying on her superb medical knowledge. Her expression was focused, and every movement was precise and skillful.
At this time, Liu Yilan's family
Liu Yilan's daughter, Xiao Pingping, seemed to have all her strength drained away as she dragged her heavy steps into the house. She didn't even have the energy to rest in the living room; instead, she went straight to the kitchen, knowing that her mother must be busy preparing dinner.
Sure enough, as soon as Xiao Pingping entered the kitchen, she saw her mother, Liu Yilan, standing in front of the stove, wearing an apron and holding a spatula, the vegetables in the pot sizzling as she stir-fried them. Xiao Pingping hurried to her mother's side, anxiously asking, "Mom, I'm back! How is my brother today? Has the doctor arrived?"
Upon hearing her daughter's voice, Liu Yilan immediately stopped what she was doing and turned around. Seeing her daughter's tired and anxious face, she felt a pang of anxiety and quickly comforted her, "Don't worry, child, go and rest for a bit! Dinner will be ready soon, and we can talk about your brother while we eat."
Xiao Pingping had no intention of resting. She took off her scarf and gloves, tossing them into her room before rushing back to the kitchen. She went to her mother and helped her prepare the vegetables, muttering, "Mom, tell me what the doctor said today?"
Looking at her daughter's expectant eyes, Liu Yilan said helplessly, "Dr. Lin said we'd need two more days of treatment before we could know! But I think she's quite capable. After she gave your brother acupuncture, his complexion improved a lot. I offered her money, but she wouldn't take it, saying we'd settle it later."
She paused for a moment, then continued, "This time there's definitely hope for your brother's illness!"
Hearing that her brother's complexion had improved, Xiao Pingping was very happy. She picked vegetables much faster and said happily, "Mom, it seems we've met a benefactor!"
The mother and daughter's mood immediately improved. Xiao Pingping felt all her fatigue disappear. She picked up a bowl, ladled some soup from the pot, and said, "I'll feed my brother in a bit."
With a smile on her face, Liu Yilan said softly to Xiao Pingping, "Go and eat. You've worked hard all day. After you finish eating, take a rest. Don't go to work tomorrow. Just stay home and rest. I don't know if your aunt will come over tomorrow."
However, when Xiao Pingping heard the word "aunt," her face instantly darkened, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily pursed, clearly displeased. She said indignantly, "Since my brother was injured, when has she ever set foot in our house!"
Seeing this, Liu Yilan sighed and explained helplessly, "Actually, she used to be quite nice to you. She would always bring you some delicious food whenever she came."
Xiao Pingping disagreed, retorting, "When was 'before'? Wasn't it when my brother became the deputy battalion commander? When my brother and I were little, every time she came to visit Grandma, she acted all high and mighty, walking with her head held high, completely disregarding us. And I've never heard her call you 'sister-in-law'! She never even smiled at my brother. Later, Grandma said a few things to her, and she toned it down a bit. But after Grandma passed away, she never came to our house again. It wasn't until my brother became the deputy battalion commander that she started interacting with us again." Liu Yilan listened to her daughter's words, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "She's still your aunt, so let's not dwell on it too much." Xiao Pingping said angrily, "If it weren't for Grandma, I wouldn't want to talk to her at all."
Seeing that she couldn't persuade her daughter, Liu Yilan gave up. It was her sister-in-law who was in the wrong, so it was understandable that her daughter didn't like it!
