His mother and wife are pressuring him; can Wei Mingshen refuse to drink?
The answer is no.
So he finished the bowl of Chinese medicine!
"Alright, alright, hurry up and eat some sugar to mask the bitterness. You only need two bowls of medicine a day, it's not much." Cao Maizi left with the empty bowl, relieved.
Wei Mingshen leaned back in his chair, looking utterly dejected. "I'm clearly not sick, but I have to take medicine. I'm suffering!"
Su Xueli shrugged: "I don't want you to take medicine either, but I have no choice."
That evening, after finishing another bowl of Chinese medicine, Wei Mingshen asked Su Xueli, "Do I really have to drink all seven doses of this Chinese medicine?"
Su Xueli said, "It seems so."
Wei Mingshen asked, "Does this mean we can get a divorce smoothly after we finish these seven doses of Chinese medicine?"
Su Xueli thought of her parents and felt uncertain, but she still reassured him, "It should be."
He hardened his heart and said, "Then I'll drink it. Anyway, the doctor said it's just a medicine to warm and tonify kidney yang, so it won't do me any harm."
Su Xueli felt a little awkward, coughed lightly, and didn't respond to him. She brought up the important matter: "I'm going back to my parents' house tomorrow."
Wei Mingshen's alarm bells rang loudly, "You're going back to your parents' house to see him?"
Men are indeed more petty than women.
Su Xueli retorted, "Did I tell you I went to see him, or do you have proof that I'm going to see him tomorrow?"
Wei Mingshen's expression immediately changed, and he said with a grin, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I was being petty and judging you by my own standards. You're a magnanimous person and won't hold a grudge."
Su Xueli rolled her eyes at him and remained silent.
Wei Mingshen asked cautiously, "What exactly is going on with your trip back to your parents' home tomorrow? Can I ask?"
Su Xueli said domineeringly, "No."
"Okay, okay, I won't ask anymore."
After saying that, she was still worried, "Don't forget our agreement, okay? Don't cheat on each other, it'll have a bad influence."
Su Xueli said, "Don't worry, I have a moral bottom line and I won't do anything despicable."
"Admirable! Admirable!"
The next day, after breakfast, Su Xueli politely said to her parents-in-law, "Dad, Mom, since there's nothing to do at home, I'd like to go back to my parents' house."
The elderly couple immediately said, "Okay, okay, we'll have Shenzi take you there."
Su Xueli refused: "No need, Mom. I can ride my bike home by myself. I can come back whenever I want. It's inconvenient for him to take me."
Wei Mingshen told his parents, "Just let Xue Li go. She's not a child anymore."
Her in-laws agreed, and quickly went inside to get some gifts for Su Xueli to take back to her parents' home. Su Xueli also took the 15 straw toys she had made the day before yesterday afternoon.
When she arrived at her parents' home, she took the 15 straw toys and went to find Yan Yan. Then the two of them rode their bicycles to the county town.
Yan Yan found her cousin, Manager Wang, who worked at the county department store. He took the two girls to his office, asked them to sit down, and inquired about their purpose in seeing him.
Su Xueli said, "Uncle, I asked Yan Yan to come to you. I'm here to ask you to look at something. I don't know if our department store needs it."
After saying that, he took out the straw toys one by one from the bag.
