That's what pigs eat!
A few slices of steamed fish, a plate of blanched vegetables, and a bowl of snow-white rice.
Su Yunwei glanced at Nanny Jinxiu and asked, "Doesn't the old lady like to eat vegetables and only like to eat rice without husks?"
Nanny Jinxiu hesitated slightly upon hearing this, then chuckled softly, "It's indeed as you said. The old lady's love for rice has been a habit she's had since she was young."
Su Yun raised her eyebrows slightly. She could almost immediately confirm that this old lady had athlete's foot, also known as a disease of affluence!
Beriberi is different from common athlete's foot. Common athlete's foot is caused by itching, peeling, and blisters on the feet, which is a fungal infection. However, beriberi is caused by a lack of vitamin B1 in the body, which can cause diseases in the nervous system, digestive system, and circulatory system.
"What's wrong, Weiwei! Have you figured out what illness my grandmother has?" Fu Mingyue asked hurriedly.
"Diseases of affluence, also known as athlete's foot." Su Yunwei said.
Everyone present looked at each other in bewilderment. Fu Li was stunned. This was unheard of. Affluent people could get sick? And athlete's foot was considered a serious illness? This little girl couldn't be talking nonsense.
"How to treat it?" A steady voice came. Su Yun turned her head slightly and saw that the handsome guy was staring at her straight, with a burning gaze that seemed to suck her in.
A wave of heat peeked out from the tip of her ear, quietly staining her with a shy blush. Su Yunwei said with a stiff face, "Eating red beans, rice bran, brown rice, and sweet potatoes can effectively relieve the symptoms of this disease."
"Are you kidding me?" Fu Li frowned. "You actually said these pig foods can cure my mother's illness?"
"Of course I'm not kidding!" Su Yunwei blurted out, "From now on, not only do you have to eat the things I told you, but you can't eat the wine the old lady drinks at night, the white rice she loves, or the blanched vegetables. Eat more whole grains."
"Fu Mingyue!!!" Fu Li yelled. Fu Mingyue, standing aside, suddenly felt that sooner or later her ears would be deafened by her grumpy old father.
"What's wrong again?" Fu Mingyue asked helplessly.
"Even the director of the Imperial Hospital couldn't cure this disease, and this little girl says feeding your grandmother some pig food can cure it? Isn't that nonsense?"
"Tell me, where did you get this quack from? Send her back to where you got her."
Fu Li's words were like a flint, instantly igniting the anger in Su Yunwei's heart. If the tiger doesn't show its power, will people think she is a Hello KT cat?
"Okay, Fu Mingyue, send me back immediately! You think I want to treat your family's illness? You have little ability, but a very bad temper! There are always people who are better than you. When you have nothing to do, read more medical books and don't think you are so great every day. You can just call me by my name, Su Yunwei, and don't keep calling me Fu Mingyue. I understand."
Everyone: “!!!!!!”
Fu Li had never experienced such a situation before. His mind went blank for a moment and he stood there in a daze, forgetting to refute.
After Su Yunwei finished speaking, she let out a long sigh. It felt so good to be able to talk back to people without restraint.
But! Seeing that his face looked like it was about to burst into flames, she wondered if her head would just move away like this. She unconsciously used her thumb to hold her index finger, and a trace of fear welled up in her heart. Was she speaking too freely just now?
Fu Changan stood aside, his expression slightly stunned, his eyes fell on Su Yunwei's ever-changing face, and he felt that the woman in front of him looked very much like the little rabbit he had raised in Yunxiang. She was so cute that his heart suddenly beat a few times, and some unknown emotions surged!
Su Yunwei, who was looking down with a melancholy look, accidentally glanced at the slightly raised corner of Fu Changan's mouth. The melancholy in her heart immediately turned into a tangible artillery fire, bombarding him:
"What are you laughing at? Is it really that funny? Don't think I won't scold you just because you're a handsome guy."
Although he didn't understand what she meant by "handsome guy", Fu Changan knew it was a compliment. His eyes flickered as he looked at Su Yunwei's face, and with a hint of tenderness, he whispered, "Are you hungry? I've asked for food to be prepared. It's not too late to scold me after you've filled your stomach."
"Also, Dr. Su, please tell me in detail about my grandmother's treatment method."
The gentle voice came, and the anger and grievance of being questioned in Su Yunwei's heart were strangely soothed a little, but she was still a little angry. She turned her head away from Fu Changan and rushed straight to Fu Mingyue: "If you don't believe what I say, then why bother talking about treatment methods? Fu Mingyue, send me back, I want to go home!"
Fu Mingyue: “!!!”
The bracelet had disappeared long ago. How could she send her home? Fu Mingyue's face was full of anxiety and tension.
Looking at Fu Mingyue's unusual expression, Fu Chang'an's eyes fell silent. Grandmother was seriously ill and treatment was urgent. No matter what method he used, he had to try it out to see if it was true. After a moment, he said seriously, "Doctor Su, my father made a slip of the tongue. Chang'an apologizes to you on his behalf! Grandmother is old and seriously ill. I hope Doctor Su will put aside the past grudges and tell me the detailed treatment method."
"Chang'an! I..." Before Fu Li could finish his words, Du Yinyin beside him quickly covered his mouth and nose.
She's more of a hindrance than a helper! Du Yinyin secretly complained in her heart, "Her husband's position should be swapped with that of her adopted son. How on earth did he become a minister of the Secretariat with such a temper?"
The man's tone was sincere, his eyes genuine. Su Yunwei was momentarily mesmerized by his handsome appearance. Her stomach rumbled softly a few times, so she cleared her throat and said sheepishly, "Then... let's eat first. We'll talk afterward."
The embarrassed look was only cute in Fu Changan's eyes. His brows gradually softened, and the corners of his lips inadvertently rose slightly.
Fu Mingyue noticed Fu Changan's expression and was puzzled. How could her usually aloof brother look so... gentle?
She doesn’t understand!!!
Soon, several maids brought the food and carefully arranged it. Then they stood aside, waiting for the master's words.
Fu Changan seemed to notice Su Yunwei's embarrassment and waved his hand to signal them to leave.
Seeing the maids retreat together, Su Yunwei felt a little overwhelmed with gratitude. It turned out that the handsome guy was not only good-looking, but also had a gentle and considerate personality.
"Perilla Fish, Lotus Duck Skewers, and Immortal Soup!" Fu Mingyue read out the names of a few dishes on the table and asked Fu Changan in surprise, "Brother, this is the food from Yongle Tower, right? I usually can't even get in line when I want to eat there. How did you manage to have them delivered to our house?"
"Eat." Fu Changan said in a deep voice.
Seeing Fu Changan's serious expression, Fu Mingyue could only pick up the chopsticks awkwardly. She turned her head to look at Su Yunwei who was eating silently on the side, and said softly: "Weiwei, the food in Yongle Tower is delicious..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Fu Changan's cold voice:
"Fu Mingyue!"
Helpless, Fu Mingyue had to pick up the food and eat obediently.
The room, which was originally filled with tension, was now filled with only the sound of silver chopsticks colliding with white porcelain.
Du Yinyin held the white porcelain bowl in her hand, picked up a small mouthful of rice with her silver chopsticks, and hesitantly put it into her mouth. She glanced at Su Yunwei and then said softly, "I don't know how to take the dietary therapy prescription that Doctor Weiwei mentioned."
Su Yunwei paused, put the fish in her chopsticks into her bowl, and gently placed the chopsticks in the middle of the bowl. She said, "The old lady's illness is due to a lack of vitamin B1 in her body from eating too much rice all year round, which has led to beriberi. It's easy to treat. Just eat more foods rich in vitamin B1."
"For example... the pig food I just mentioned!!!" Su Yunwei glanced at Fu Li's sullen face and continued, "Lean pork, whole grains, soy products, nuts, and some green leafy vegetables can all be used for treatment."
"I'll write a recipe for you later. You just need to prepare three meals a day for the old lady according to the recipe. I'll also write down any precautions."
"Then...when will mother's illness be cured?" Du Yinyin continued to ask.
"Take your time. The symptoms will gradually improve, but it will take at least half a year to see the full effects."
Hope came, and Fu Li finally stopped being tense and irritable. He ate the rice in the bowl quietly, but in his heart he was praying that his mother would recover soon.
As dusk fell, Du Yinyin took the recipe written by Su Yunwei and walked to the old lady's small kitchen with Fu Li's hand.
The others left Zhaohui Courtyard, the afterglow of the setting sun stretching their shadows long. Su Yun lowered his head slightly, his gaze landing on the shadow of Fu Changan carrying the medicine box, feeling melancholy. "When he was in medical school, he only knew how to bury his head in study! After entering the hospital, he only knew how to bury his head in work. The men around him were either the bald director professor or male colleagues. In all these years, he hasn't even held a man's hand, except when he was working, of course!"
well! ! ! ! !
She sighed softly.
On the bluestone slab, the tall and slender figure seemed to pause imperceptibly at the same time.
Fu Mingyue originally wanted to arrange Su Yunwei to live in Shuyuxuan where she lived, but suddenly she remembered that only her room in the courtyard was habitable, and the rest of the rooms were piled with sundries and other things. Thinking about it carefully, except for her brother's courtyard, which had been cleaned up by the servants and was habitable because he had just returned home, other places seemed unsuitable.
But...is Weiwei willing?
"·····Weiwei?" Fu Mingyue suddenly stopped and looked at Su Yunwei.
The tone and look in Su Yunwei's eyes made her heart skip a beat. She suddenly felt something was wrong. She hesitated and asked, "What? What are you going to do?"
"Hehe..." Fu Mingyue smiled awkwardly: "Well... my yard hasn't been cleaned up yet, why don't you... stay in my brother's Chengxin Hall first."
"Living with your brother???" Su Yunwei was stunned, then blurted out: "Sleeping in the same room with your brother?"
The other two: “????”
