Su Wantang suddenly hugged Lu Huai'an: "From now on, you are not alone. I will be with you."
Lu Huai'an paused for a moment, then his expression softened: "Okay."
...
After giving the prescription to Lu Huai'an, Su Wantang didn't concern herself with the matter anymore.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye.
Busy adjusting the prescription, Su Wantang forgot to ask Lu Huai'an about the follow-up to this matter.
That day, they ran out of medicinal herbs.
Su Wantang greeted Aunt Wang, then rode her bicycle to the pharmacy to buy medicinal herbs.
After listing a list of medicinal herbs, Su Wantang sat down to wait.
Suddenly, a familiar profile appeared in his peripheral vision.
"Wantang?"
"Just now, when I came in, your back looked familiar. I didn't expect it to be you."
Su Wantang was also somewhat surprised: "Sister-in-law, what are you doing here?"
She then frowned: "Are you feeling unwell?"
This shouldn't be!
The medicine she prescribed should be finished by now, and her body should be better by then.
"no."
Li Jia wasn't in a hurry to get the medicine. She sat down next to Su Wantang and whispered, "Your older cousin and I haven't heard anything yet. I was thinking of taking the medicine you prescribed for me last time for another half month and trying to get it done in one go."
Su Wantang frowned even more deeply.
"Sister-in-law, you can't take medicine casually; every medicine has some degree of toxicity."
"Also, sister-in-law, don't worry, my eldest cousin's health needs to be recuperated for a month or two, it won't be that quick."
Li Jia suddenly tightened her grip on Su Wantang's arm, her voice rising sharply: "What did you say?"
A bad feeling suddenly arose.
"Wantang, didn't you have your eldest cousin examined and say he was healthy?"
My heart skipped a beat.
Su Wantang considered it carefully and said, "It's just a small problem, nothing serious."
"A minor issue? Nothing serious? Does it require a month or two to recover?"
The issue of her child has been a source of deep worry for Li Jia for many years.
She took this matter very seriously and was not fooled by Su Wantang.
Instead, the relentless questioning and her rapidly reddening eyes gave Su Wantang a headache.
Su Wantang finally couldn't hold back and confessed.
"Wantang, don't worry. Your eldest cousin won't blame you for this. I'll talk to him when we get back."
Seeing Li Jia wipe away her tears instantly after speaking, Su Wantang felt as if she had been tricked.
"Um."
suddenly.
Li Jia seemed to be thinking of something, her eyes darting around before finally landing on Su Wantang, who unconsciously leaned back.
She grabbed Su Wantang's arm: "Wantang, you are a great benefactor to our family. Without you, the child... sister-in-law, might never have seen hope in this life."
"Sister-in-law, I must thank you properly. Tomorrow, come home with me, and I'll cook for you myself."
"Sister-in-law, there's no need for dinner. We're all family, so please don't stand on ceremony."
Su Wantang had heard Lu Huai'an say that Lu Yuanzhou's uncle's family had not divided their property, and she didn't want to go looking for trouble.
Li Jia blinked her red eyes: "Wantang, do you treat your sister-in-law like an outsider?"
“Sister-in-law, my uncle, aunt and two cousins are all here, so it's not convenient for me to go.”
"Who invited you to that house? Go to my parents' house."
Li Jia isn't stupid; she can tell that Zhang Juan doesn't like Su Wantang and even brought Su Wantang back to upset her.
Su Wantang thought of something: "Sister-in-law, I'm afraid your real intention is not what it seems."
Having her little scheme exposed, Li Jia didn't try to hide it and directly confronted the situation.
"Thank you, really! And I'm also really going to provoke your older cousin!"
If Li Jia had denied it, Su Wantang wouldn't have gone, but since she was open and honest, and thinking of the brotherhood between Lu Huaidong and Lu Huai'an, Su Wantang agreed.
"good."
"real?"
Overjoyed, Li Jia hugged Su Wantang tightly.
At this moment, a pharmacy employee called out to Su Wantang, "Comrade, the medicine you ordered has been packed up. It costs 367.86 yuan in total. The boss said that since you bought a lot, it's 367 yuan."
Just as Su Wantang was about to take out her money, Li Jia paid for it first.
She secretly rejoiced that she was lucky to have a day off today. She remembered that she had troubled her parents when she went back to her parents' home a few days ago, so she prepared to buy some gifts and brought plenty of money with her.
Otherwise, even if you have the will, you are powerless.
Su Wantang wanted to refuse, but Li Jia blocked her with the promise of a consultation fee.
After arguing for a few minutes without getting anywhere, Su Wantang gave up and decided to bring some of her homemade whitening cream as a gift the next day.
Back home, still with questions in her mind, Su Wantang went to find Lu Huai'an.
"Huai'an, the prescription, didn't you give it to your eldest cousin?"
Lu Huai'an's face darkened slightly as he asked, "Why did you suddenly think of asking this?"
This is clearly a way of saying they don't want to talk about it and are trying to change the subject.
Something's not right.
"Lu Huai'an, something's wrong with you."
"Are you hiding something from me?"
“No,” Lu Huai’an blurted out.
Su Wantang squinted, staring intently at Lu Huai'an: "Then why did you say that my brother is in excellent health?"
Lu Huai'an pursed his lips: "I don't know."
"Then tell me, what did you and your older cousin say?"
Lu Huai'an remained silent.
“Brother Huai’an, tell me, tell me.”
The next second, Su Wantang, having pried the answer out of Lu Huai'an, clutched her stomach and burst into laughter.
