Lin Ru noticed the fleeting sadness in Rong Peiyu's eyes and understood that her maternal grandmother knew that her days were numbered, but she had observed carefully and concluded that her maternal grandfather and the others should not know this!
There's only one possibility: her maternal grandmother went to see a doctor secretly and accepted the fact!
She suddenly felt a little sorry for the little old lady!
So she stood up with the medicine in her hand and personally fed it to Rong Peiyu's mouth!
"Grandma, believe me! You'll get better after taking this medicine! You'll be healthy from now on! I promise!"
Rong Peiyu's eyes welled up with tears. She had actually given up long ago. She even refused the painkillers the doctor offered because they were too expensive. It would be a waste to use that hard-earned money on a dying person like her! She still had so many grandchildren! And that old man who always used his own money to help the villagers!
As a result, she would always secretly cry when she was woken up in pain in the middle of the night!
But when she saw the determination in her beloved granddaughter's eyes, she suddenly wanted to give it a try too!
So he opened his mouth and swallowed the pill from Lin Ru's hand. The pill melted in his mouth and was not as bitter as he had imagined!
The medicine seemed to transform into warm water, flowing throughout her body! Finally, it stopped at her chest, where she often felt pain, and she could actually feel the area that frequently ached becoming warmer and warmer!
The medicine seemed to be repairing her heart!
She was surprised to find that the area in her chest that had been hurting for years was no longer painful!
Moreover, it felt as if the heavy stone pressing on his chest had been removed!
For the first time, she felt her breathing was clear!
The medicine was still circulating, reaching her head, shoulders, waist, and knees. Wherever that gentle power passed, her years of pain were soothed. She felt completely relaxed, as if she had returned to her youth!
It felt so good! It was amazing!
She felt that she could now go on a three-hundred-round tirade against those old ladies who talked badly about her behind her back without even taking a breath!
Once the medicine wore off, all her ailments were cured!
She opened her eyes and looked at Lin Ru with great surprise!
She took two steps forward and scooped up her beloved granddaughter in her arms! The two spun around and around! She then excitedly kissed Lin Ru's cheeks twice!
"Ru'er! My precious granddaughter! You are truly my darling! Grandma is so grateful to you!"
"Only you discovered my illness! And you even gave me such precious medicine! Unlike those heartless people! I can't sleep every night because of the pain, and they don't even know, they just snore next to me!"
"This is so annoying! I can finally get a good night's sleep!"
"Grandmother really doesn't know how to thank me!"
"You have no idea! Ever since I started experiencing chest pain, I've seen no fewer than ten doctors, and they all say I'm not going to live much longer! Some doctors even told me to go home and prepare for my funeral!"
"But I hadn't met your mother yet! I was always unwilling to die like that, and always wanted to live a little longer!"
"After seeing your mother and you, I thought I could leave with peace of mind! But I'm always worried about you, afraid that you'll be bullied!"
"I always feel it's because I'm too greedy!"
"I never expected this! I never expected this..."
Rong Peiyu couldn't say anything more, so she hugged Lin Ru and started crying, as if she wanted to cry out all the grievances and fears she had endured for so long!
Only then did Bai realize that her mother had been suffering from an incurable disease and was tormented every day, and most importantly, no one had noticed! It was her daughter who had discovered it!
She felt her inadequacy once again; she was inadequate as a mother and as a daughter!
She couldn't help but hug her mother and daughter and cry!
This was the first time Lin Ru had ever been so close to someone, and the first time someone had ever kissed her! It wasn't as unpleasant as she had imagined! Nor was it as repulsive as she had expected!
She felt like she was going crazy, her face covered in saliva, her clothes soaked with tears and snot! Yet, she felt strangely happy! It was a really weird feeling!
She turned around and hugged her mother and maternal grandmother, gently patting their backs!
Rong Peiyu cried for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before she was so exhausted that she fell asleep!
Feeling embarrassed, Bai wiped her face and stepped out of her daughter's arms.
Then he saw his daughter, picked Rong Peiyu up, and put her in her sleeping spot!
Looking at Rong Peiyu's sleeping face, Bai asked in a hoarse voice, "Ru'er! Is your maternal grandmother alright now? Is she asleep, or has she fainted?"
Lin Ru: "Don't worry! She's asleep and she's better! It might be because she's tired from crying, or it could be because of the medicine!"
Only then did Bai nod in relief. She picked up a cloth, poured some water on it, and carefully wiped Rong Peiyu's tear-stained face.
Her daughters-in-law also realized that her mother-in-law had been sick before, and that it was incurable!
No wonder she always went to the county town by herself before!
After coming back, she always stares blankly and cries!
They all saw it, but no one cared or offered any concern. They all assumed it was because of their sister-in-law who had eloped! They were used to it and didn't want to get involved in that shameful affair. They were already being generous by not stopping their husbands from searching for her, spending money, effort, and time. They didn't even consider the possibility that their mother-in-law was sick!
I feel so ashamed now!
Lin Ru sent all the other villagers in Shili Village to sleep!
Because of her tyranny, no one dared to openly come and watch the spectacle; they could only close their eyes and listen intently!
I only caught bits and pieces of what was going on. It seemed that Lin Ru had cured Rong Peiyu of some stubborn ailment with just one pill!
This made everyone even more convinced that Lin Ru was a miracle doctor!
They were all determined to stick closely with the Bai family!
Before anyone knew it, Lin Ru's prestige had surpassed Bai Chengye's!
But Lin Ru was completely unaware!
Because she had already taken off her clothes and snuggled into her comfortable bed to fall asleep!
Lin Qing was also exhausted. He lay down next to his elder sister, feeling safe and secure, and soon fell asleep!
About an hour later, a commotion broke out. Lin Ru was exhausted and didn't get up to check. She still trusted her grandfather's abilities; he would manage to allocate the horses properly.
About half an hour later, the noise finally stopped!
Lin Ru fell into a deep sleep!
In her dream, she turned into a monkey in a zoo, surrounded by many people watching her. The countless burning gazes startled her awake!
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw five large faces above her, staring at her with great curiosity, especially their burning gazes, which were exactly the same as in her dream!
She was so frightened that she raised her hand to hit him!
