As Yu Mingxiang sorted through the medicinal herbs, she shook her head and muttered, "Would I be wearing mourning clothes if I married you? You're lucky you met me. Once I've cured your illness, we'll be even!"
Gu Guanhai has been taking Chinese medicine for half a month. Aside from the initial strong side effects, including vomiting blood twice, his condition has improved significantly since then. However…
It still requires careful treatment.
Yu Mingxiang would check his pulse and adjust his prescription almost every two days.
As for medicinal herbs, she used what she had at home, and for those she didn't, Gu Guanhai had her give the list of inferior herbs to the old village chief, who actually managed to get them for her.
With the medicinal herbs no longer a problem and the spiritual spring water at her disposal, Yu Mingxiang was confident that she could definitely cure him.
Time flies, and almost a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
Yu Mingxiang's grandson, who was so ugly when he was born that even his own mother cried, has grown up day by day and is now plump and adorable with big, chubby eyes.
His daughter-in-law gave him the nickname "Little Dumpling".
It symbolizes family reunion.
Yu Mingxiang liked it very much and couldn't put the little dumpling down.
During this period, she did not go to the clinic to see patients, but instead changed the location of her consultation to her own home.
It's just a matter between the village entrance and the village exits. The people who come to her for treatment are all from nearby villages. They know that she has a new grandson and her daughter-in-law is in postpartum confinement, so they don't compete for this.
However, as the weather gets colder, more and more elderly people in the nearby villages are suffering from arthritis.
Yu Mingxiang's plasters began to be in short supply. Apart from cooking and taking care of her grandson, she spent almost all her time brewing medicine. Even chores like washing pots and dishes were taken over by her two sons.
My grandson is almost a month old.
Yu Mingxiang also became superstitious and asked a fortune teller from the next village to calculate her grandson's birth chart. After learning that her grandson lacked the element of water, she pondered for several days and finally named him Qin Haiqing.
It signifies a prosperous and peaceful era, with calm seas and clear rivers.
After discussing it with her daughter-in-law, Yu Mingxiang decided not to hold a large celebration for the baby's one-month birthday.
Since they were from out of town, it would be too conspicuous for them to throw such a big fuss about everything, so...
On the day of the baby's one-month celebration, the family simply closed the door and had a lavish meal, and then everyone gave the baby a one-month gift, and that was it.
However, a small mishap occurred when delivering the full-moon gift, because...
After a month of recuperation, Gu Guanhai, who had been refused a lavish meal but was instead allowed to get out of bed, arrived uninvited with a full-month celebration gift, and...
He immediately bought a courtyard house next to Qianmen Street in Beijing!
Yu Mingxiang picked up the contract that Gu Guanhai had stuffed into the baby's swaddling clothes, glanced at it, and immediately glared at him.
"No, this is too expensive!"
The courtyard houses on Qianmen Street are priceless, both now and in the future, because that place...
The place was mostly inhabited by high-ranking officials and dignitaries!
Even Yu Mingxiang, who holds dozens of land deeds, is not qualified to have a courtyard there!
She really dared not accept it.
But.
Gu Guanhai looked at her, raised an eyebrow and said, "It's not for you, why are you so nervous?"
As he spoke, he took the contract from Yu Mingxiang's hand and stuffed it back into the little dumpling's swaddling clothes. "This is Grandpa's gift for the little dumpling's one-month celebration. The little dumpling must grow up healthy and strong, and protect the country when he grows up!"
Little dumpling: "Eeya eeya..."
She was speaking in baby talk, her little hands tightly gripping the contract he offered.
Yu Mingxiang: ...
I tried twice but couldn't get it out!
His face was completely blank.
Upon seeing this, Gu Guanhai burst into laughter.
Seeing that Yu Mingxiang was about to get angry, he quickly stopped laughing and said, "Alright, it's just a house. I have plenty of houses like this. If you don't like this one, I'll bring you any you like."
Upon hearing this, Yu Mingxiang exclaimed, "!!!"
Stare at him.
Is this something to be ashamed of?
This is something you can't complain about!
This guy is so rich and arrogant... it's really awful!
Under the teasing gazes of her son and daughter-in-law, Yu Mingxiang dragged Gu Guanhai outside, wanting to explain things to him, but...
The two had just stepped out of the house when they saw the old village chief rushing over.
"Something terrible has happened!"
