Chapter 10
Mu Qingxuan also expected Mrs. Huo's distrust.
She put down the spoon and said patiently, "Grandma, let's make another bet. Give me three days. If I don't make you feel better within three days, you can punish me however you want."
The words were similar to the military order for cooking yesterday. Mrs. Huo was stunned. Before she could say anything, she heard Mu Qingxuan say:
"Even if you let me chew Coptis chinensis, that's fine."
Old Mrs. Huo's eyes widened, and she was somewhat moved, but she was too embarrassed to agree directly.
Wang Ma saw that the old lady's attitude had softened, so she began to persuade her: "Just agree to it, old lady. No matter what, let's give it a try first. Whether it works or not, we'll have to wait until we try it before we decide."
Old Madam Huo walked down the steps Wang Ma had given her and snorted, "Then give it a try. If it doesn't work, I'll make you pay."
Mu Qingxuan smiled, walked to Old Lady Huo and took her pulse.
With the cooperation of Mrs. Huo, the treatment process went much more smoothly.
The only difficulty was that Mrs. Huo disliked the Chinese medicine boiled at home. The air was filled with an unpleasant smell that made her want to vomit.
Old Mrs. Huo took off her reading glasses while cursing and went out for a walk.
The neighbors in the military compound were all acquaintances. When someone saw Mrs. Huo, they just greeted her and covered their mouths in surprise: "You look really good today. It's true that people are in high spirits when they are happy. Your grandson's marriage has been settled. You look more energetic than before."
Old Mrs. Huo was startled.
She subconsciously touched her face and asked, "Do I look good?"
"Of course not. She looks ten years younger." The man congratulated cheerfully. "You are so happy just after getting married. If your new wife gets pregnant and gives birth to a big fat boy for your Huo family, won't you be so happy that you will be rejuvenated?"
Old Mrs. Huo rolled her eyes at her and said, "Alright, alright, I know your granddaughter-in-law went for a prenatal checkup a while ago, and the doctor said it was a boy. You've boasted about it several times, and you didn't say you were tired, but I'm tired of listening."
The two people who had known each other for decades chatted and laughed for a while, and then the man turned around and went home with the vegetables.
Old Mrs. Huo looked in the direction she left, lost in thought.
How could she look so good just because she was happy about Huo Changfeng's marriage?
Rather, she has been in a bad mood since she heard that her most proud grandson was going to marry a country girl from the countryside for some ridiculous marriage.
I was afraid that Huo Changfeng’s life would be ruined by this engagement.
She looked in good spirits, simply because she had a rare good sleep last night, which replenished her energy that had been depleted for years.
But after much thought, Mrs. Huo still attributed it to Mu Qingxuan's treatment.
Suddenly, she felt mixed emotions.
Old Mrs. Huo strolled around the courtyard and felt a little tired, so she turned around and went home.
Then Mu Qingxuan was surprised to find that after Mrs. Huo went out for a while and came back, she was very cooperative with the treatment.
After the silver needle was taken out, Mu Qingxuan disinfected it while advising, "Grandma, your illness is most taboo to be depressed. You must think positively and don't hold your temper."
She paused, thinking that Old Lady Huo seemed to have a problem with her, and added, "If you are unhappy with someone, just curse them out. Don't hold it in your heart. The more you hold it in, the more problems you will have."
Anyway, if you scold her, she will just let it go in one ear and out the other.
Mu Qingxuan shrugged her shoulders and thought indifferently.
Old Mrs. Huo looked at her with complicated eyes. Thinking of how she herself was disgusted by the smell of her feet last night, Mu Qingxuan didn't even frown.
I have been treating her patiently today.
For a moment, the old lady's attitude changed a lot, and she said in a gentle tone: "I know, thank you for your hard work today."
Mu Qingxuan looked up in surprise and smiled sincerely: "This is what I should do."
The corners of her mouth turned up, revealing a few white teeth. Her eyes were slightly narrowed like a kitten, and her eyes were shining with light as bright as stars.
In a blink of an eye, three days passed.
After three days of treatment, Mrs. Huo's migraine has improved a lot and has almost never recurred.
Even the nerves that tormented her and kept her awake at night were much calmer.
The appetite affected by migraine gradually improved.
For three consecutive days, Mrs. Huo ate half a bowl of rice more than usual, and her condition was getting better and better.
Huo Jianye and Cui Lirong also knew that Mu Qingxuan was treating the old lady. They didn't hold much hope at first. Cui Lirong even told Mu Qingxuan to relax and told her that it didn't matter even if she couldn't be cured.
Unexpectedly, in just two days, Mrs. Huo's physical condition changed dramatically.
On the night when the bet ended, the family sat at the dining table, and Cui Lirong praised: "Xuanxuan, I didn't realize that you are so young and your medical skills are so good."
The old lady has been suffering from migraine for many years and has seen many doctors but the condition has not improved.
Mu Qingxuan inserted a few needles and actually cured the disease.
Cui Lirong couldn't help but exclaim.
Mu Qingxuan was modest and didn't dare to take credit for it. She said, "Grandma always went to see a Western doctor before, but she didn't know that Western medicine only treats the symptoms and not the root cause. When she has a headache, they just prescribe some painkillers, but when the effect of the medicine wears off, the pain is still there."
"This is not just my credit. It's also because grandma has a good physical foundation and listened to the doctor's advice and cooperated with the treatment. That's why she recovered so quickly."
Huo Jianye said: "Anyway, it's all thanks to you."
The man who has worked in the army all his life exudes a special dignity. He is usually very serious, but at this moment he deliberately softened his brows and showed a kind smile.
At first glance, I knew I was grateful to Mu Qingxuan from the bottom of my heart.
Cui Lirong also said: "You are too modest, kid."
She picked up a piece of meat and put it into Mu Qingxuan's bowl. "It's a pity that Changfeng went back to the laboratory and hasn't come back yet."
Otherwise, Huo Changfeng should be asked to see how powerful his wife is.
Cui Lirong felt a little regretful.
Mu Qingxuan subconsciously looked at the empty seat next to her, feeling a little strange.
Huo Jianye didn't think there was anything wrong with Huo Changfeng's approach. He said nonchalantly, "The institute has food and drink, and you're still worried that a grown man like him can't take care of himself? He should make more contributions to the motherland while he's still young. This is the value of his life."
Cui Lirong rolled her eyes at her husband.
If you want to dedicate yourself, why can’t you do it at any time? Why do you have to choose the right time as a newlywed?
These men have achieved their ambitions, but have forgotten their wives, which is not necessarily a heroic act.
Cui Lirong snorted in dissatisfaction and comforted Mu Qingxuan: "I'll call Changfeng later and ask him to come back to accompany you when he's not busy at work."
Mu Qingxuan shook her head and was about to say no when a sudden phone ring like an alarm suddenly rang in everyone's ears.
Wang Ma ran over to answer the call, but heard the other end say:
"There was an accidental explosion in the laboratory. Director Huo Changfeng was the first to be hit and his life is in danger!"
