Su Guojun and Liu Fengying were sweating profusely: Is their son-in-law really that capable?
Cao Maizi herself was sweating, and she asked cautiously, "Brother-in-law, sister, can we wait until we've finished these two things?"
These two matters are of great national importance; how could they possibly say no?
"Okay, okay, okay, it's not an emergency. It won't make a difference if we wait a day or two. We'll talk about it after we're done."
As soon as his parents-in-law left, Wei Mingshen burst into laughter, and Su Xueli laughed along with him. Cao Maizi scolded her son with a bitter face: "Isn't it because you forced me to lie?"
Wei Mingshen patted Cao Maizi on the back and said, "Mom, I've known you for over twenty years, and this is the first time I've realized you're such a braggart! You've been hiding it really well."
Su Xueli said, "Mom, you're exaggerating too much. You've completely fooled my parents."
Cao Maizi wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "I was just exaggerating. I had to exaggerate, otherwise your parents would blame your in-laws for not taking their son's illness seriously, and they would feel disheartened."
Su Xueli nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes, well done, well done!"
Wei Mingshen let out a long sigh and said, "Alright, let me have a few days of peace and quiet."
Wei Tiezhu sighed deeply, looked at Cao Maizi and said, "Let the two kids do their work, let's go to that room."
Cao Maizi understood and followed her husband back to their room.
Wei Tiezhu said, "Mother, I just remembered something. Isn't there a good doctor in your niece's village who specializes in treating difficult and complicated diseases? I heard he has cured countless patients."
Cao Maizi slapped his thigh and said, "I thought of that too."
My niece married far away, and I hadn't seen her for several years. It wasn't until my niece's three-day homecoming that I went there and heard my niece talk about how her husband's family had a good doctor who ran a traditional Chinese medicine clinic.
"Tomorrow is the day for his uncle's family to have a wedding banquet. His daughter will be coming. As the aunt, you should talk to your niece and ask if the doctor is still around."
Cao Maizi said, "I know, I will definitely ask."
Wei Tiezhu then solemnly instructed his wife, "Just say you're asking on behalf of a relative, don't say it's about our child, or our son will be too ashamed to face anyone."
Cao Maizi was almost in tears. "Do you even need to tell me that? Do you think I'm stupid?"
That night, Su Xueli and Wei Mingshen lay in bed talking about visiting relatives the next day. Su Xueli said, "We agreed that we would come back early to work after dinner, so let's not dawdle."
Wei Mingshen said, "Don't worry, you've said it several times already."
Su Xueli thought of her second cousin's wife. Although it was all in her past life, she was still so angry that she wanted to curse.
"Oh, right, there's one more thing. You have to listen to me tomorrow, or I won't go."
Wei Mingshen turned to look at her. "What, are you trying to turn me into a henpecked husband?"
Su Xueli said irritably, "Just tell me if you're going to listen or not."
Wei Mingshen dared not provoke her at this moment, so he readily agreed: "Yes, how could I dare disobey my wife? By the way, what do you want me to listen to?"
Su Xueli couldn't very well tell him to ignore his second cousin's wife, since she didn't even know that woman at that time.
She pretended to be jealous, saying, "Don't flirt with those young women and married women tomorrow. It's an eyesore for me."
Wei Mingshen cried out, "I'm more wronged than Dou E! When have I ever flirted or bantered with those young women and wives? Give me an example!"
Su Xueli, of course, couldn't give any examples. She playfully said, "There are too many examples for me to list. Just remember them."
Wei Mingshen was both amused and exasperated. "Su Xueli, aren't you a strange person? One minute you're broad-minded, the next you're petty and narrow-minded. One minute you seem to genuinely not care about me, and the next you're... a jealous jerk. I really can't understand you."
