Chapter 48 Happy
Before Tao Xiaoxi reached the door of her house, she saw Li Nanshan standing under a tree with his back to her. Even though there was no one around, he stood straight and looked upright.
"Waiting for me?" Tao Xiaoxi walked up to him and patted his shoulder, then turned to the front.
Li Nanshan turned around and saw no one, so he went back to the front and finally saw Tao Xiaoxi. He smiled, still playful as ever. It seemed like every time they met, she was always so full of energy, like the sun at eight or nine o'clock, dazzling and brilliant.
"I'm here to give you some money." Li Nanshan said, looking away.
"Are you in such a hurry to pay off your debt?" Tao Xiaoxi laughed.
"It's not repayment, it's dividend. This is your half." Li Nanshan corrected and handed over four big unity notes.
Yes, we agreed at the beginning, half for each of us.
Tao Xiaoxi took it without hesitation, but before she finished, she reminded him, "This is just the beginning. The real thing will come next. Be prepared."
"I know. Don't worry. I didn't realize this medicine was so in short supply. But today, I see it's just as you said. So I don't have any concerns anymore. Let's go for it."
Tao Xiaoxi was unhappy and glared at him, "You were skeptical of me before?"
Li Nanshan scratched his head, displaying a rare naive look. "It's not that I'm skeptical. It's just that new things always make me a little worried."
Tao Xiaoxi certainly understood, but subjectively she didn't really want to understand Li Nanshan. How could he doubt her? A hundred percent trust wasn't enough. Tao Xiaoxi, who was rational, sober, and objective in front of others, became wild, spoiled, and a bit willful around Li Nanshan.
"By the way, your sister-in-law is about to give birth, right? Tell her to move more often in the last month and not lie down or sit all the time."
"It's not convenient to walk with such a big belly." This is what Li Nanshan thought.
"You don't understand. Exercising more in the later stages of pregnancy is good for a normal birth," Tao Xiaoxi explained.
"Oh, oh, oh." Li Nanshan said "Oh" three times in a row, like a child who broke into a restricted area with no way to retreat, with awkwardness and embarrassment written on his face and manifested in his body.
Tao Xiaoxi was so amused by what she saw, but she couldn't laugh out loud, so she tried hard to keep a straight face, said goodbye to Li Nanshan and hurried home.
When I got home, I couldn't help but burst out laughing. When Beibei saw it, he was stunned and asked, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Mrs. Sun, who rarely spoke, suddenly said: Crazy, haha.
Tao Xiaoxi immediately stopped laughing, "You're crazy, I'm just happy."
Beibei glanced at her mother reproachfully, "Mom, grandma is just crazy."
Tao Xiaoxi slapped her forehead and said, "Yes, yes, yes!" She almost forgot.
There was no need to worry about that. She went inside to pack her things. Next week, she and Zhao Bin were going to Bozhou to attend the largest medicinal materials fair. Tao Xiaoxi was finally going to get serious about her career. As she packed, she even hummed a ballad.
However, things were going smoothly for her, but things were harder to describe for Li Nanshan.
Although no one from the Li family was watching him sell medicinal herbs today, the village was so small that everyone soon heard that he had sold them for eighty yuan on the spot.
My second brother and his wife came without stopping, ostensibly to congratulate us, but actually to borrow money.
But this time, Li Nanshan refused to budge. No matter how his second brother and sister-in-law persuaded him emotionally or logically, he remained unmoved. If he wanted to do something big, he would definitely need investment. This amount of money was not enough, let alone loaning it out.
Seeing that her brother-in-law was not listening, the second sister-in-law Yang Rongzhi became angry, said some angry words, and walked away with her butt twisted.
As soon as the second sister-in-law left, the second brother could no longer continue his one-man show. He cursed and said he would go back to find his father, but then he left.
Li Nanshan lay down on the shabby kang, and used his hands as pillows behind his head. He thought, he, Li Nanshan, cannot live in this shabby cave forever. He will definitely build the most magnificent cave in the village.
Obviously, Li Nanshan's vision was still too narrow. Tao Xiaoxi was lying on the bed at this time thinking that she must establish a famous medical empire in the future, admired by thousands of people, and stand at the top of the pyramid.
The next day, Tao Xiaoxi was still dreaming about her kingdom when she was awakened by a series of chattering sounds.
When I opened the window, I saw several people gathered in front of the door. Mrs. Sun stood with her hands outstretched and her legs crossed, not letting anyone in.
Tao Xiaoxi jumped up from the bed, afraid that Grandma Sun would beat someone up, and also afraid that she would suffer a loss.
He rushed out in a hurry, but actually came to give gifts and express gratitude.
It turned out that the woman who had taken medicine from her before gave it to her daughter-in-law, and her daughter-in-law became pregnant with twins. The woman brought her son and daughter-in-law to thank her today, with chickens and ducks in her hands, as well as a basket of pecans, dates, peanuts and so on.
Mrs. Sun thought that the person was there to fight, so she refused to let him in, which led to this misunderstanding.
"Doctor Tao, you are really effective. My daughter-in-law hadn't farted in five years since she got married. But after taking your medicine, she got pregnant in less than three months. And she's pregnant with twins." The woman took Tao Xiaoxi's hand and praised her profusely, regardless of whether she was willing or not. She was so happy that she felt dizzy.
Mrs. Sun thought that the man was going to hit Tao Xiaoxi, so she inserted herself between the two of them and stared at the woman fiercely.
Tao Xiaoxi couldn't push her away, so she could only smile awkwardly and explain, "She's a little bit confused."
"It's okay. Come here, son, bring the things here." The woman waved her hand.
Tao Xiaoxi didn't expect that there was more. She saw the other party's son coming with a banner in his hand, on which were written four big gold-plated characters: Guanyin, the Goddess of Childbirth.
Tao Xiaoxi's body trembled. This was indeed a bit exaggerated. She would find it acceptable to write about a kind-hearted doctor or a miraculous doctor who brought people back to life. But wouldn't writing about the Goddess of Childbirth solidify her reputation as a witch?
But people have put the things in their hands, so we have to accept them.
"Okay, Doctor Tao, we won't disturb your rest. We'll be back soon." The woman looked at the evil-looking Mrs. Sun and felt a little scared.
"Then I won't see you off. I do have something else to do today, so I won't keep you here."
"Please stay, you are busy." The woman waved her hand quickly and left with her son and daughter-in-law.
Tao Xiaoxi looked at the large and small packages they sent, and then looked at the banner in her hand. She didn't expect that this familiar scene would reappear in this life, and she was filled with emotion.
In her previous life, the walls of her office were covered with banners. She thought that people in this life would not do the same thing, but she didn't expect that this was universal.
Immersed in her emotion, Tao Xiaoxi didn't notice a person walking towards her from afar. When he came closer, she looked at Tao Xiaoxi intently, her eyes full of fatigue, unwillingness, surprise, and deep resentment. Tao Xiaoxi also saw him, and the banner in her hand fell straight to the ground, like an icicle piercing her heart, and she could no longer be happy.
