Chapter 470: Scar Cream (Page 1/2)
Lin Man didn't expect that the twins not only had higher IQs than ordinary children, but also had better athletic talents than ordinary children.
When they are just nine months old, they can stand up independently and take a few staggering steps forward. By the time they are one year old, they can walk very steadily, and even wearing a thick cotton jacket does not affect their movements.
On the day the children turned one, Lin Man prepared three tables for a feast for friends and family. Her best friend Zhuo Yue also came with her children and gave each of the twins a new cotton-padded jacket.
When the banquet was over, Lin Man gave Zhuo Yue a bag of dried red dates, a bag of dried lychees, and a few handfuls of dried vegetables.
As soon as Zhuo Yue left, Song Jingjing walked up to Lin Man and asked in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, tell me the truth. No one in your family has ever had twins. Did you take some secret medicine to conceive twins?"
Lin Man had long known that her family suspected her, so she replied calmly, "Although having twins might be hereditary, it's not certain. I'm just luckier than most people."
"I thought you took some secret medicine and got pregnant with twins. Qingyan and I have started preparing for pregnancy, and I plan to have another child next year. Sister-in-law, aren't you planning to have another child?
Lin Man originally planned to have only four children, and since Huo Qingci took the initiative to undergo sterilization surgery, she would be satisfied as long as she could raise her four children to be successful.
"After I gave birth to the twins, the father took the initiative to get sterilized. Raising four children is already hard enough, and I wouldn't have the energy to have two more.
What’s more, there aren’t enough rooms at home, and when the children grow up, they’ll have nowhere to live.”
"Sister-in-law, didn't Grandpa give you the courtyard house in the city as a buyer? There are so many rooms in the courtyard, how can it not be enough to live in?"
The courtyard house did have enough rooms. If she took the children to live in the city, Huo Qingci would have to live alone with his grandfather in the army.
Regardless of whether grandpa would agree, first of all, Huo Qingci would definitely not be willing to live apart from her.
"Unless Qingci is transferred to work at a hospital in the city, we can't move into the courtyard."
When they have a car, they might consider moving back to the courtyard house. Then Huo Qingci could drive home. As long as there's no traffic, it should only take 30 to 40 minutes. Taking the bus takes over an hour, which is slow and cumbersome.
Song Jingjing suddenly touched her face. After hesitating for a moment, she mustered up the courage to ask Lin Man, "Sister-in-law, does my brother know any dermatologists?"
"I don't know that. You have to ask him."
"I have this scar on my face. I'm wondering if I can have surgery to remove it. Last night, my son touched it and asked me what it was. I told him I fell and scratched my face when I was a child, and that's how it got. He was so scared that he burst into tears."
Song Jingjing felt very depressed whenever she thought about this incident. Sometimes Huo Qingyan would stare at her scar and ask her if it could be removed.
Last night, her son cried because of the scar on her face, which made her hate the scar on her face even more.
"Sister-in-law, you might have a scar-prone constitution."
"Is that so? But I often fell and hurt my knees when I was a kid, and I didn't see any scars."
"Maybe the wound on your face is quite deep, maybe it got infected when you were stitching it!"
"It's been so long, I don't remember it clearly. I just remember the doctor applied some hemostatic medicine. Sister-in-law, can you help me ask my brother if there's anyone who can treat the scar on my face? I'm willing to pay any price."

"Okay, I'll talk to Qingci later."
As soon as Song Jingjing left, Lin Man pulled Huo Qingci back to the room, "Qingci, do you know what your sister-in-law just asked me to do?"
"What are you doing? I'm not asking you for the secret recipe for having a baby!"
"Hmm...how do you know? But she didn't just ask me for the secret to having a baby. She also asked if you knew a dermatologist. She wanted to remove her scars."
"Manman, your space should have a secret medicine for scar removal, right?"
Lin Man shook her head. "We can't just take out the medicine in the space and use it casually, because it will take effect within 24 hours. If we are discovered, we will all be captured and dissected."
"If I perform surgery on her and use my supernatural powers to repair her wounds, I can probably remove the scars."
"Are you going to operate on her?"
Huo Qingci shook his head. "I'm not a dermatologist, so how could I possibly perform surgery on her? For my brother's sake, I can make her a bottle of scar cream to lighten the scar so it's not as obvious as it is now."
Lin Man knew that Huo Qingci would definitely use medicinal spring water to make scar removal cream. If the effect was obvious, how should he answer Song Jingjing when she asked where the cream came from?
Lin Man asked worriedly, "When she asks you where you got the ointment, how will you explain it?"
"I just said that an old doctor gave it to me when I was on the island. She couldn't possibly go to Qiong Island to find the old doctor, right?"
"Qingci, have you forgotten that your aunt is in Qiong Island? What will you do if she goes to Liao Sitian and asks her to send a telegram to your aunt, asking her to help you find that old doctor?
Besides, we've been back for so long, so the ointment we bought from Qiong Island must have expired. Who would dare to use expired medicine?"
Huo Qingci thought about it carefully and felt that it was indeed the case. Since he couldn't say that the ointment was bought on Qiong Island, he had to make up another lie and say that it was bought on the black market.
So, he said to Lin Man, "Manman, let's tell them that I bought this ointment on the black market."
Lin Man nodded in agreement, but then asked, "How many boxes are you going to tell them we bought? You can't just make up a random number."
Huo Qingci thought for a moment and replied, "Well... let's say two boxes. Sell her one first, and she'll naturally come and buy the second box when it works."
Then, Lin Man continued to ask, "Okay, but even brothers have to settle accounts clearly. So how much do you plan to sell each box of ointment to them? Don't set the price too low, otherwise they will think it's worthless."
Huo Qingci thought for a moment and said, "Then let's set the price at 66 yuan! This price won't be too high to make my sister-in-law reluctant to pay, and it can also reflect the value of this ointment.
And with this income, I can make a few more beautiful new clothes for our Xinxin, so that she can have a happy New Year."
In fact, Lin Man didn't insist that Song Jingjing pay for these ointments. However, if she didn't charge, she was afraid that the other party would misunderstand and think that these were just ordinary ointments that could be bought for a few dollars.
Only by charging a certain fee can they realize the preciousness of this medicine, and the efficacy will naturally not disappoint them.
