When Lu Jingchuan got home from get off work, he saw his mother-in-law adding firewood to the kitchen stove and asked, "Mom, why are you back today?"
"Come back and rest for a few days." Bai Narcissus smiled.
Lu Jingchuan walked in and saw that both her hands were covered with gauze. He frowned and asked, "Mom, what's wrong with your hands?"
"I was scalded by someone pouring boiling water on me." Gong Linglong told him.
When other sisters-in-law asked her about it, she said that a colleague at work accidentally fell and burned her mother's hands, but she didn't intend to hide it in front of Lu Jingchuan.
"Yu Zhen's second sister, Yu Nan, also works at the sanatorium. This afternoon, Meng Xiaoying accompanied..."
After listening to this, Lu Jingchuan's face remained expressionless, but his eyes narrowed. Those who knew him well knew that this was a dangerous signal. He said, "Mom, you should rest well at home these days. Linglong, you should also work normally and pretend that you don't know about these things. I'll take care of the Meng family."
"Brother Jing, what are you going to do?" Gong Linglong asked hurriedly.
"This time, using Gao Xuemei's case as an excuse, we've thoroughly investigated many officials in Seoul. Only a small portion of the Meng family has been exposed. Since Meng Xiaoying loves to stir up trouble, I'll make arrangements tomorrow to completely finish their family off."
Lu Jingchuan didn't elaborate on the details. After he finished speaking, he opened the cupboard and took out a bottle of chili meat sauce. He said, "Linglong, Lao Zhu likes this chili sauce. Ask me for a bottle. I'll send it to him and be back soon."
The "Old Zhu" he mentioned was Commander Zhu.
Gong Linglong smiled and pointed to the small kimchi jar in the cupboard. "This kimchi is made by my mother. It tastes very good. It's crispy and goes well with rice. It's just right for eating. You can take a jar with you."
"OK."
Commander Zhu had just gotten home from get off work and saw him carrying two jars. He smiled from ear to ear and said, "It's rare for you to be so generous."
Lu Jingchuan placed the items on the table and stated his intention directly: "Let me use the burn ointment that Mr. Xie gave you last time."
The smile on Commander Zhu's face instantly disappeared, and he rolled his eyes at him, "I take back what I said."
Mrs. Zhu came out of the kitchen with a smile on her face. After a brief greeting with Lu Jingchuan, she asked, "Deputy Captain Lu, what do you want the burn ointment for? Did Linglong get burned accidentally?"
"It's not Linglong, it's my mother-in-law who burned her hand."
Lu Jingchuan sat at the commander's house for five minutes and returned with the burn ointment. "Mom, this burn ointment is quite effective. Just change the dressing and apply it a few more times. It will be healed in three to five days."
"Jingchuan, did you just get the medicine prescribed by the hospital?" Bai Shuixian asked.
"No, I got it from Lao Zhu."
Lu Jingchuan handed her the ointment and said with concern, "Rest well at home these few days, avoid getting wet, and don't bother with the vegetable garden. Linglong and I will take care of it when we have time."
Bai Shuixian smiled in response, took the small medicine bottle and read the words on it. After reading it, she sighed to them, "This medicine is a unique secret medicine from the family of my university teacher. It's a secret recipe passed down from our ancestors. It's very effective and is a miracle medicine for burns in the industry."
Lu Jingchuan didn't know the origin of this medicine, he only knew that it was very effective and was no longer available on the market. Only a small amount of it was still in stock in the hands of some high-ranking leaders.
As for the reason why this medicine was no longer circulated and produced, he could guess it.
Traditional Chinese medicine has been suppressed to the point of being almost extinct in recent years. All the talented masters of traditional Chinese medicine were sent to remote farms for reform. Many of them died due to the hard work and humiliation. Some of them were still strong enough to survive, but they were also banned from practicing medicine and could no longer display their skills.
Soon the meal was ready, and Gong Linglong brought a pot of fragrant and nutritious chicken soup to the table. "Brother Jing, drink the chicken soup first, and then eat."
"OK."
Lu Jingchuan took three bowls and shared the chicken legs between the mother and daughter. The rich aroma of the chicken soup made his throat roll. "Today's chicken soup seems to be more fragrant than last time."
Gong Linglong smiled gently. He had a very sharp nose. The chicken he stewed today was raised in the space, so its taste was definitely better than the chicken outside.
"It's probably a matter of heat. This time I simmered it slowly over low heat."
Bai Shuixian lied a little, picked up the bowl and drank the soup first. After taking a sip, she nodded repeatedly: "It tastes good, you guys drink it quickly."
The meal tonight was quite sumptuous. In addition to nourishing chicken soup and vegetables, there was also a large bowl of spicy eel. This dish was very delicious and Lu Jingchuan liked it very much. He drank two large bowls of rice in a row. After eating, he was responsible for collecting and washing the dishes.
After taking a shower, Bai Shuixian lied that she would go back to the house to rest, but in fact she went into the space and prepared the medicine her daughter needed tonight.
Gong Linglong went to rehearse for another hour, came back to get some water and take a shower, then took the time to slip into the space and feed the pigs.
After finishing these tasks, I saw my mother treating a mature cyanotic ulcer and said, "Mom, let me do this. Please teach me."
"This cyanotic ulcer requires extreme care and the technique is extremely complex. I'll teach you next time."
Bai Shuixian was using two chopsticks in her hands. Her hands were injured, so she couldn't touch the medicine at all. She said to her, "Linglong, I've already told you how to use this for cyanosis. Be careful when you use it later. Don't touch it with your hands, and wash your hands immediately after use."
"Mom, I know."
It took more than ten minutes for her to deal with the cyanotic ulcer. The mother and daughter slipped out of the space together. Bai Shuixian quietly returned to the house, and Gong Linglong also went back to her room to rest.
Lu Jingchuan usually has a very regular schedule. Whenever he is at home, he goes to bed at 9:30, and he went into the house on time tonight as well.
The couple usually has regular nighttime activities. After a night's rest tonight, they fell asleep in each other's arms early.
They had already fallen asleep, but Meng Xiaoying, who was lying in the ward of the municipal hospital, was crying loudly. Her kneecap was broken in the afternoon and she fainted from the pain on the spot. She was then rushed to the hospital by passers-by.
She was seriously injured this time and underwent surgery for more than three hours. Not only was her kneecap broken, but she also had a wound on her forehead, a fractured shoulder blade, and many bruises on her body.
Yu Nan's condition was similar to hers. Both of them were in a terrible state and did not wake up until night.
When Meng Xiaoying woke up and learned that her kneecap was seriously injured and she might become disabled, she completely collapsed and burst into tears in the ward. No matter how her parents and relatives tried to persuade her, she refused to listen and kept crying hysterically.
"Stop crying."
Meng Xiaoying's brother, Meng Xiaohang, the eldest son of the Meng family, was already annoyed by her crying and yelled at her impatiently.
"Xiaohang, what are you yelling about?"
Sitting beside the bed, Meng's mother glared at him, her face full of displeasure: "Xiaoying has suffered so much and she must be feeling uncomfortable. Let her cry and vent."
