Chapter 268

"Have you seen my previous prescriptions?" Mr. Xu was very curious.

Tang Wan smiled and shook her head, "No, this is the prescription that is usually used for this disease.

It’s not that the medicine is bad. I just thought of this idea last time when I heard that the old lady was unwilling to cooperate.

If Teacher Xu doesn't mind, you can let me try it."

After all, the old lady is still young, only in her 40s or 50s. If she can control her disease well, she can live for many years.

But if you don't control it, you will only get crazier and crazier, and your life span will be limited.

"I am obsessed. I am not as smart as a kid like you."

Mr. Xu couldn't help laughing. He said self-deprecatingly, "It's true that the waves behind push the waves ahead. The waves ahead will be beaten to death on the beach."

He had been thinking about ways to improve the situation, but had never considered coaxing his wife to take medicine.

He handed the "sugar beans" given by Tang Wan to Aunt Xu, and sure enough, she took them happily.

"tasty."

She swallowed it without even chewing it.

Mr. Xu's face was filled with joy, and his eyes were full of gratitude as he looked at Tang Wan.

"Thank you, Tang Wan."

"Teacher Xu, once a teacher, always a father. Moreover, you have helped me a lot. I am really happy to be able to help you."

It was worth it that she tossed and turned in bed last night and went to the space to develop the pills.

Moreover, she quietly mixed a little spiritual spring water into it. The amount was very, very small, but it was better than nothing, and perhaps it could help Aunt Xu.

"Your medical skills are no worse than mine now."

Mr. Xu is not stupid. The occasional display of Tang Wan's skills is enough to prove that she is hiding her abilities.

She was smart enough to know not to reveal too much now.

"No, no."

Tang Wan smiled modestly, and seeing Aunt Xu enjoying the fun, she simply went to the kitchen.

"I'll make you something to eat."

Mr. Xu had to take care of Mrs. Xu and didn't dare leave her side. It was true that he hadn't had a proper meal for a long time.

So she didn't refuse when Tang Wan entered the kitchen.

She made two dishes and a soup: stir-fried loofah with meat, braised pork ribs with potatoes, and an egg soup.

There were only pickled mustard greens. Aunt Xu was playing with a broom and came to the kitchen following the smell.

She chuckled, sat at the dining table, tapping the bowl and chopsticks, looking like she was waiting for dinner.

"Eat, eat...eat..."

"She is very well behaved in front of you."

Mr. Xu couldn't help laughing. Usually when he cooked for her, she would always make a noise.

So he could only deal with a few people casually each time.

But his daughter-in-law is a patient, and Mr. Xu feels sorry for her.

"It's time to eat."

Tang Wan brought the food to the table. She also made her own portion and sat down opposite Aunt Xu.

She had just quietly put spiritual spring water in the soup and dishes, not a large amount, hoping it would help Aunt Xu.

But it won't get better so quickly that Mr. Xu will become suspicious.

"Okay, let's eat together."

Mr. Xu picked up his chopsticks with a smile and was about to feed Mrs. Xu when he saw her put down her chopsticks.

Then he took the spoon and stuffed the rice into his mouth with clumsy movements.

"Auntie, eat."

Tang Wan picked up a piece of pork ribs for her, and Aunt Xu picked up the chopsticks to feed her.

Aunt Xu had lifeless eyes and an open mouth, and she ate the food that Grandpa Xu fed her blankly.

Mmmm, delicious.

“Eat, eat, eat…”

At this moment, Mr. Xu was like a child, clamoring for delicious food.

Mr. Xu was so happy that he cried, "Since her condition got worse, she hasn't eaten well for a long time."

During this period, his daughter-in-law was very hungry and Grandpa Xu was very distressed. Now that he can feed her food, he suddenly feels hopeful.

"I guess he's really hungry."

Tang Wan was happy about Aunt Xu's progress. If she could recover, Master Xu would definitely be very happy.

For example, he didn't care about himself at all at the moment and was only focused on feeding Aunt Xu.

Watching her eating the food mouthful after mouthful, Mr. Xu smiled with wrinkles on his face.

“Ah…”

Aunt Xu took a big sip of the soup and squinted her eyes happily, "Delicious...delicious..."

She just kept saying these few words over and over again, without saying anything extra, but Master Xu was already very happy.

Tang Wan didn't eat much. After all, Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu were not well off, so she just gave a little token of her appreciation.

Seeing that there was still so much food left in the bowl, Mr. Xu frowned and asked, "Why don't you eat?"

“I’ve eaten.”

Tang Wan wiped the corners of her mouth and put down her bowl and chopsticks. Master Xu said angrily:

"Are you afraid of starving me?"

"Not really."

Tang Wan smiled and shook her head, "My mother-in-law must have cooked for me. If I eat too much, the food at home will be wasted."

The weather was still not too hot, so her explanation was a bit far-fetched, so Mr. Xu could only glare at her helplessly.

"Your aunt and I won't starve to death for the time being."

After saying that, he did not force Tang Wan to eat. After feeding Aunt Xu, he ate by himself.

After finishing her meal, Aunt Xu threw down her bowl and chopsticks and ran out. Seeing that Master Xu was about to chase her, Tang Wan hurriedly said:

"You eat first, I'll go out and see her."

She chased after Aunt Xu outside, but Aunt Xu didn't go far and just stood under the dead tree in the yard.

For some reason, Tang Wan always felt that her expression looked a little sad.

"Auntie, let's sit down and I'll play with you, okay?"

Tang Wan spoke to Aunt Xu in a tone of coaxing a child, but who would have thought that when Aunt Xu turned her eyes.

It was rare for Tang Wan to see a glimmer of clarity in her eyes.

Perhaps it was because of drinking the spiritual spring soup that she actually showed a brief recovery.

"Comrade Tang Wan, is Lao Xu in pain?"

When she asked this question, her voice was trembling, and she didn't speak loudly, probably because she was afraid that Mr. Xu might hear it.

"No."

Tang Wan quickly explained, "He loves you very much, so no matter what you become, he will be happy to take care of you."

"But I feel sorry for him, too."

Aunt Xu's eyes were filled with sorrow, "Tang Wan, you are a smart girl, you should know that my disease cannot be cured.

If I continue like this, I will only be a burden to him. I just want to leave the best of myself in his heart."

"To him, you are the best no matter what time you are."

Tang Wan noticed that Aunt Xu had thoughts of committing suicide, and hurriedly advised her, "You have recovered a lot after taking the pills just now.

As long as you keep persevering, you will get better and become the best person he wants you to be again."

"Really?"

Aunt Xu tilted her head, and Tang Wan was about to say something else when she noticed that her eyes became empty again.

"Aunt Xu?"

Tang Wan waved her hands in front of Aunt Xu a few times, but she still had no expression.

She was lowering her head and playing with her fingers, as if the clarity of mind just now was just an illusion.

Mr. Xu, who had just finished his meal and cleaned up the dishes, came out and saw Tang Wan playing cat's tangle with Mrs. Xu.

She had a lot of fun, with a girlish smile on her face.

Unfortunately, it was already dark outside and it was hard to see clearly. Worried that it would be unsafe for Tang Wan to go back, Mr. Xu hurriedly said:

"Tang Wan, you should go back first, otherwise it will be dark by the time you get back."
