Chapter 557: The Effects of Spiritual Rain (Page 1/2)
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 finishing the drink, she quickly grabbed a candy from the table and stuffed it into her mouth, as if trying to suppress the bitter taste in her mouth. Seeing this, 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 reached out her hand and caressed Huo Rou's rosy, round face. She asked 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 even 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, I see!" 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 to have dinner at home 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."
Hearing what her mother-in-law said, Lin Man couldn't help but frowned and said with a worried look on her face:
"Mom, knitting is such a tiring job! You're not feeling well and you're still recovering, so you need to get enough rest! Don't let this wear you out, or you'll end up wasting your time!"
"I'm just sitting around doing nothing, and I don't have to work in the fields, so knitting a few sweaters is no big deal!"
After all, the body belongs to the mother-in-law herself. No matter how earnestly others persuade her, if the mother-in-law refuses to listen, what else can she do?
The two chatted for a full half hour, during which time Lin Man patiently helped her mother-in-law disassemble the small and exquisite sweater.
After the dismantling, she took Huo Rou home. On the way back, she stopped by the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some vegetables.
After returning home, she gently put the bags she was carrying on the ground, then slowly straightened up and let out a long sigh.
At this moment, Huo Rou blinked her bright eyes and said in a baby voice, "Sister-in-law, I want to watch TV!"
Hearing her sister-in-law's request, Lin Man smiled slightly, turned around and walked to the cabinet, and picked up the spare key that had been kept there at her grandfather's house.
Holding Huo Rou's hand, he walked to the door of the next door. He saw her carefully insert the key into the keyhole and twist it gently. With a "click", the door opened.
The two walked into the living room. Lin Man plugged in the TV, turned it on, and tweaked the channels a few times. She whispered, "Rou Rou, just watch TV here. I'm going to make lunch."
After making arrangements with her sister-in-law, Lin Man returned to her home. She first went to wash the vegetables she bought today.
Because I went late today, I didn’t buy fresh ribs and ended up buying a bare pork bone.
Lin Man planned to stew white radish, carrots and pork ribs together, then fry an omelet, stir-fry some shredded potatoes and steam a fish.
