Chapter 552: Visiting Mother-in-Law (Page 1/2)
Lin Man came into the house carrying eggs, and Xiao Ya also came in holding Huo Rou's hand.
As soon as I opened the door, a strong smell of herbs hit me in the face.
Xiao Ya smiled and waved to Lin Man who had just entered the room, "Manman, come in quickly, don't stand at the door! Come, sit down and rest for a while."
Lin Man placed the eggs on the coffee table, then walked over to the sofa and sat down. Her eyes unconsciously fell on the pile of bottles and jars on the coffee table. These were the Western medicines that her mother-in-law needed to take daily.
"Manman, please wait a moment. I'll go see if the medicine is ready." Xiao Ya said as she stood up and walked towards the backyard.
Lin Man looked at her mother-in-law's receding back and couldn't help but imagine that if Huo Qingci had believed her directly at the beginning and injected her mother-in-law with the special anti-cancer medicine from the space laboratory, her mother-in-law would not have to take so many medicines.
She knew very well that her mother-in-law not only had to rely on Chinese medicine to slowly regulate her body, but also had to take a large number of various Western medicines every day.
Thinking of this, Lin Man sighed softly. After not seeing her for a few days, she found that her mother-in-law seemed to have aged a lot.
The corners of the eyes, which were originally smooth, now have several deep and shallow wrinkles.
The once round face has now become thin, and the flesh on both sides of the cheeks seems to have suddenly disappeared, making the face deeply sunken. It is true that illness accelerates aging!
A few minutes later, Xiao Ya brought out a bowl of black Chinese medicine, and the whole hall was filled with the strong smell of Chinese medicine.
Needless to say, the medicine in the mother-in-law's bowl must be very bitter. Lin Man admired her mother-in-law a little.
Her mother-in-law has to drink at least two or three bowls of such a large bowl of Chinese medicine a day. Chinese medicine is so bitter that she may not be able to drink a single sip.
Xiao Ya put the medicine bowl away, planning to wait for it to cool down before drinking it. Then she went back to her room, got some food, and chatted with Lin Man about family matters.
"Manman, Qinghuan should listen to you and Qingci. When you have time, persuade him to find a partner."
Lin Man didn't expect that her mother-in-law would talk about her brother-in-law. How should she respond?
She opened her mouth, but found she hadn't figured out how to respond.
At this moment, Xiao Ya sighed again and said with a worried look on her face, "Manman, you know that I had a serious illness this time and had to undergo surgery.
The ones I'm most worried about right now are Qinghuan and Rourou. Especially Qinghuan, who's so old, but still doesn't want to find a partner, fall in love, start a family, or anything like that.
I'm really afraid that if my illness suddenly relapses one day, what will he do if something happens to me?
Hearing this, Lin Man hurriedly comforted her, "Mom, don't be so pessimistic! You've already had the surgery, haven't you? As long as you take good care of yourself, you'll definitely live a long life!"
However, Xiao Ya shook her head gently and said with a bitter face: "Manman, although that is true, I have been feeling chest tightness and pain these days, and I don't know if it is because the wound is inflamed.
Since I was hospitalized for treatment, I have lost a full 20 kilograms!"
When Lin Man heard this, her heart skipped a beat and she quickly advised, "Mom, why don't you go to the hospital for a checkup? That way we can determine what's going on and prescribe the right medicine as soon as possible!"
Xiao Ya frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "I haven't finished taking the medicine prescribed by my family yet. Let's wait until I finish it before I say anything."

Just like that, Xiao Ya chatted with Lin Man for a few minutes, then got up to take her medicine.
She pinched her nose tightly, and as if she had made a great decision, she poured the bowl of black medicine into her mouth in one breath.
After drinking it, she quickly grabbed a candy from the table and put it in her mouth, as if trying to suppress the bitter taste in her mouth.
Seeing this scene, Lin Man's mood became even heavier.
After the bitter taste in her mouth subsided, Xiao Ya prepared to get up and wash the medicine bowl. After washing the bowl, she came back and took Huo Rou's hand and asked, "Rou Rou, did you cause any trouble for my brother and sister-in-law at my sister-in-law's house?"
Huo Rou shook her head. "Mom, I'm very obedient. If you don't believe me, ask my sister-in-law."
Lin Man had a gentle smile on her face and echoed, "Yes, Rourou is very well behaved. She even learned how to wash her handkerchiefs from Xinxin."
Xiao Ya gently stretched out her hand and gently stroked Huo Rou's pink and round face, and said in surprise:
"Really? My Rourou is so well behaved. Rourou, what did you eat at Grandpa's house? Look at your little face, it's getting rounder and rounder."
When Huo Rou heard her mother's question, she raised her head excitedly, her big eyes flickering as she looked at Xiao Ya, and answered happily:
"Mom, Grandpa's house has delicious meat and fish every day. Last night, my sister-in-law made us chicken hot pot and eight-treasure porridge.
The chicken made by my mother and sister-in-law is especially delicious. My nephews are fighting over it. And the eight-treasure porridge made by my sister-in-law is also delicious. I had one bowl last night and two bowls this morning.
"Oh, is that so?" Xiao Ya responded with a smile, then turned to look at Lin Man beside her and said enthusiastically:
"Manman, why don't you bring Rourou home for dinner later? Qingyan specially sent an old hen and several canned meats yesterday."
However, Lin Man shook her head and politely declined, "Mom, although Qingci and Grandpa won't be home for dinner today, the children will be back for lunch after school, so I still have to rush home to prepare lunch later."
"Well, in that case, why don't you take two cans of meat back with you and let the children taste them." Xiao Ya persuaded again.
Lin Man doesn't like to eat canned meat. After all, fresh pork is much more delicious than canned meat. The jar meat she fries herself is also more fragrant than canned meat. Even that meat tastes better than canned meat.
She quickly waved her hand and declined, "Thanks, Mom, for your kindness, but I really don't need it. I'm going to the supply and marketing cooperative later to buy some fresh pork ribs for the children to make soup."
When Xiao Ya saw Lin Man firmly say no, she said no more. She slowly stood up and walked towards the yard.
After a while, she returned to the house with the sweater, then sat down gently on the sofa and began to take it apart skillfully.
Her fingers moved nimbly through the wool, and every movement seemed so skillful and natural.
At the same time, she kept muttering, "Although these little sweaters are still new, it's a pity that Rourou has grown up and can no longer wear them!
It would be a shame to leave them aside, so I thought of taking them all apart and using the yarn to knit Rourou a few new sweaters that fit her well."
