Chapter 296 Old things
Qin Huiyin thought that Li Taohua had been feeling unwell recently and would have to pass by the clinic on her way back from the snack shop, so she said to the driver, "Let's go to Doctor Wei."
After a while, the carriage stopped.
She got out of the carriage and stepped down. She saw a woman wearing a veiled hat talking to a young and handsome man in the alley opposite.
When the wind blew, the scarf flew up, revealing the woman's beautiful face. When she saw the woman's face, she paused for a moment, and when she turned around to look for the woman again, she found that her figure had merged into the crowd.
"Boss, what's wrong?" asked the driver.
Qin Huiyin shook her head: "Nothing."
The woman just now looked a bit like Molan. However, people look alike, so maybe I was mistaken!
She entered the clinic and looked for Tang Yixiao among the crowd.
Tang Yixiao was taking the patient's pulse. Looking at his skillful movements, he seemed like a convincing doctor.
Doctor Wei stood by and nodded from time to time.
Tang Yixiao has grown a lot taller this year. Seeing his mature appearance, people who don’t know him would think he is the older brother, and Qin Huiyin and Tang Luwu are his younger sisters.
Tang Yixiao was no longer the crybaby he once was. He was now self-sufficient and had learned medicine and other subjects from Doctor Wei. He shone brightly in his field, a brilliance that rivaled that of his older brothers and sisters.
Tang Yixiao noticed Qin Huiyin, his eyes full of light.
He stood up suddenly and waved at Qin Huiyin with a warm and flamboyant smile.
Doctor Wei also noticed Qin Huiyin, turned around and glared at Tang Yixiao, walked towards Tang Yixiao and replaced him.
Tang Yi smiled and touched his head embarrassedly, then strode towards Qin Huiyin and stood in front of her: "Second sister, how come you have time to come and see me?"
"The weather has been bad recently, and my mother has been complaining about back pain. I want you to go back and take her pulse to see how to help her recover." Qin Huiyin looked at the patients waiting in line. "But seeing how busy you are, it seems I'm here at a bad time. You can continue seeing patients. I'll go back first and come back when you have time."
"I went back tonight to check Mom's pulse. The last time I checked her pulse, I noticed she was in very poor health. She could hold on when she was young, but she'd become even weaker as she aged. The medicine I prescribed for her was too bitter, and she couldn't handle it, so she'd always secretly pour it out when I wasn't paying attention. After I came back, I kept thinking about how to make it into pills, and I had to replace the bitter ones with sweeter-tasting herbs. I have the herbs, but they're a little hard to find. I went to Wuyang Mountain with my master, and only gathered the last ingredient yesterday."
"If mother knew you put so much thought into getting her to take the medicine, even the most bitter medicine would taste sweet."
Doctor Wei finished writing the last prescription and walked over to say, "You little brat, I told you before, as a doctor, you can't show your childish side in front of your patients. Otherwise, how can the patients be convinced of your medical skills?"
Tang Yi laughed and said, "Master, my second sister is here, I really can't put on a bad face."
"That's not a sour face, but a face that makes patients feel safe." Doctor Wei hit Tang Yixiao's head and said, "Okay, that's enough for today. Go back with your second sister."
Tang Yixiao suddenly remembered that today was the day his master would go to Baihua Tower again.
Even before he became a disciple, he'd heard the medicine boy say he went to Baihua Tower every month, and at the time, he'd misunderstood him as a womanizer. Later, he learned he went there not for the beauty, but to find someone. Not only did he bribe the girls there to help him find someone, he also made friends among his patrons and pried them for information.
Tang Yi smiled and looked at the remaining patients, feeling a little worried: "Master, you have something to do today, so leave these patients to me. I will go home in the evening."
Doctor Wei shook his head: "No, I won't go today."
"Master, aren't you going to look for it anymore?" Tang Yi smiled and looked at him worriedly.
Doctor Wei smiled bitterly, "I've been searching for him for so many years. If he's still alive, he wouldn't be completely lost. I just can't bear to give up. I should have faced it long ago."
"Doctor Wei, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, a miracle will happen at some unexpected moment. Sometimes, just relax and don't think too much, and your wishes will always come true." Qin Huiyin comforted.
"Then I'll borrow your good words," Doctor Wei said with a smile, "but I still won't look for it. As you said, perhaps a miracle will happen at some point. There's a saying that goes, 'You plant flowers with care, but they don't bloom, but you plant willows by accident, and they grow into a shade.' If I don't look for it, maybe the person will appear, and I won't have to rack my brains at all."
Qin Huiyin knew that Doctor Wei was just comforting himself. He was already in despair, so he would rather leave himself a glimmer of hope than continue to despair.
In the end, Doctor Wei drove Tang Yixiao away.
Qin Huiyin took Tang Yixiao back to the backyard of Sister Food City.
The first thing Tang Yixiao did when he returned was to check the pulses of all his family members.
Qin Huiyin and Tang Dafu were fine. One hadn't suffered much hardship since childhood and had a good foundation, while the other had recovered well after an injury. Later, he ate well, slept well, and had a beautiful wife in his arms. He was so proud of himself. Li Taohua's health wasn't so good. Tang Yixiao hadn't been as accurate as he was when he took her pulse last time. After several months of studying gynecology, he was now able to accurately grasp a woman's physical condition. Therefore, after taking Li Taohua's pulse, his expression was particularly solemn.
Seeing his serious expression, Li Taohua said nonchalantly, "What's there to worry about? When I was young, I was a concubine, poisoned, and had three miscarriages. My body has long been ruined, so I said I couldn't bear a child for your father."
When she said this, everyone had different expressions.
Qin Huiyin looked at Tang Dafu.
As long as Tang Dafu shows a hint of disgust, Qin Huiyin will re-evaluate this stepfather.
Tang Luwu's eyes were red, she hugged Li Taohua's neck and cried silently.
Tang Yi smiled and frowned: "Whether it's poisoning or miscarriage, it's a serious matter that damages the body. How can mother not take her own body seriously?"
"The poison has been cured, but the damage is too severe, so I can only take care of myself. Now I have you filial people, and I eat and drink well every day. Life is already very good. Don't look down on your father. I didn't hide it from him. He knew all this a long time ago. Otherwise, why do you think he treats me like a porcelain doll every day? Is it because he is afraid that there is something wrong with my health? I feel that the past two years have been like a fairy's life. Even if I meet the King of Hell tomorrow, I have nothing to regret."
"Don't talk nonsense." Qin Huiyin said, "You haven't seen us get married and start a family, and you haven't seen my eldest brother become a high-ranking official! You are so young and beautiful, you must live to be a hundred years old and become the most beautiful centenarian old lady. A hundred years, not a day less, otherwise who will take care of my children in the future?"
Li Taohua poked Qin Huiyin's forehead: "Shame on you! You're not even fifteen yet, and you're already thinking about having a baby."
