After the commotion, Qin Xiangxiang was wide awake.
I went to work with a belly full of anger and dark circles under my eyes.
She vowed that if she stayed any longer, she really wouldn't be able to control herself.
There are such annoying people in this world.
Feeling refreshed, Li Yueniang enjoyed a delicious breakfast with Su Yi before going back to sleep.
I woke up just before lunchtime.
There is a helper at home who comes over every day to clean and cook.
Su Yi no longer needs to stay in the military region every day; he spends about half of his time at home.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was very harmonious, and Li Yueniang even took the initiative to help serve food.
It made Su Yi feel as if he had returned to the days when Li Yueniang took good care of him.
"Sigh, so many years have passed in the blink of an eye."
"We're all getting old, but I remember the old days~"
Li Yueniang, however, had no time to accompany him in reminiscing about the past.
"Just eat, don't dwell on the past, always look forward."
"Eat quickly, and then come out with me."
"What are you going out for?"
"Get some medicine for your wife Xiangxiang to help her recover."
Su Yi complained, "She's a nurse herself, she's in the hospital all day, what medicine do I need to prescribe for her?"
"You're obviously not a considerate man. When a woman goes through menopause, she can't control her temper and finds fault with everyone. Most importantly, she always thinks it's not her fault, but everyone else's."
"She is absolutely not going to see a doctor."
Su Yi didn't want to go. "Then why do we need medicine? Why don't you just have Auntie buy it for us?"
Li Yueniang quickly retorted, "How can that be? Wouldn't it be obvious if we let the aunt buy it?"
"Su Yi, I'm not trying to be mean, but after all these years, you haven't changed at all."
"Who is Qin Xiangxiang? She's your wife who's been with you for decades and has given birth to your children."
"This is the time when she needs care, both physically and emotionally. As her man, you must show your concern, your thoughtfulness, and your tenderness."
"Can the medicine that other people buy be the same as the medicine you buy?"
Su Yi was overwhelmed by Li Yueniang's long lecture and, feeling dizzy, followed her to the street to buy medicine.
It has to be said that bringing Su Yi along has its advantages.
The compound has a specially assigned car, and Su Yi's position qualifies him to use it.
Li Yueniang also benefited from this and was able to ride in the military vehicle.
But she took the initiative to walk out to digest her food, and whenever she met someone along the way, Li Yueniang would go up and greet them.
"Good morning, Meixiang! Have you eaten yet? Taking the kids for a walk?"
"It was a bit noisy at our house yesterday, did it bother you?"
"Oh dear, Xiangxiang has reached the point of menopause, you know, menopause."
"She's like a powder keg, unable to control her temper. So Su Yi and I are going to the Chinese medicine pharmacy to get some medicine to regulate her body."
"What? Qin Xiangxiang has gone through menopause?"
"She looks really well-maintained. How come she's older than most people?"
"No wonder there was so much noise at your house last night, so that's why!"
"Menopause is terrible. I've heard that it can cause people to lose control of their temper and want to argue with everyone they meet."
"Sister Li, wouldn't you be so wronged?"
Li Yueniang looked helpless. "Sigh, what can I do? I can't argue with her, can I? You know, every woman has this moment, but I've never seen anyone as irritable as her."
"So I dragged Su Yi along to pick some Chinese medicine for her to take care of herself."
"I've always taught Su Yi to cherish his wife. When a woman reaches this stage, we have to go along with her."
"Oh, Sister Li, your magnanimity is truly admirable. If Qin Xiangxiang continues to be ungrateful, then she really is not a human being."
As Li Yueniang walked out, she stopped and chatted with everyone she met. Before she even reached the parking area at the gate, almost all the women in the courtyard knew that Qin Xiangxiang had gone through menopause.
Su Yi was getting impatient waiting in the car when Li Yueniang finally arrived late.
Why are you taking so long?
"Hey, I ran into a girl and we chatted for a bit."
"Hurry up, drive, drive!"
"Commander, are we going to the military region?" asked the guard, Xiao Liu.
Li Yueniang quickly chimed in, "Why go to the military region? Go to Tongrentang. Your division commander's wife is going through menopause. Go get her some medicine."
Looking at Li Yueniang's beaming face in the rearview mirror, Xiao Liu's lips twitched incessantly.
The love-hate entanglements within the division commander's family were known to almost everyone in the compound.
Xiao Liu drove the car to Tongrentang, got out, and helped open the door.
Li Yueniang nimbly jumped down from the carriage, holding onto the door.
The big carriage was much more comfortable, much more stable than the sedan chairs and horse-drawn carriages she used to ride in when she was younger.
"Su Yi, hurry up, what are you dawdling for?"
Su Yi sat in the car, unwilling to move. "You can go in and handle this lady's matter. What would I do there?"
He waved to Li Yueniang, "Go ahead, go ahead, I'll wait for you here."
Li Yueniang jumped up and pulled him down, saying, "How can that be? Get down right now, she's your wife, not mine."
"Besides, I'll have to pay for the medicine later! Are you really willing to give me the money?"
Su Yi instinctively clutched his pocket, watching Li Yueniang warily.
Li Yueniang rolled her eyes. "Even if you give it to me, I won't touch it. Otherwise, when we get back, Qin Xiangxiang will go around yelling that I cheated you out of your money."
"Hurry up, come inside with me."
Su Yi was pulled into Tongrentang by Li Yueniang's arm.
