Chapter 15: My Grandfather Taught Me Medicine
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
His grandfather used to be a soldier on the battlefield, and at that time, he specialized in treating soldiers ‘illnesses. He had a lot of experience. Moreover, the conditions were tough, and few medicinal herbs were available. Being able to find those nearby would be of great help to the team.
However, it was a battlefield, after all, and even though his grandfather was a military doctor, he had suffered many injuries. Because of the harsh conditions, he also had many old illnesses. Therefore, when he returned home, Li Jin was the one who had to work hard both inside and outside. He was also the one who took the money for his grandfather’s treatment in the village.
Seeing how serious Xia Wan was, Yan Han believed her and took the initiative to go to the basket to take out the mulberry leaves to boil the medicine.
Xia Chen smiled and touched Xia Wan’s head. “Our Wanwan also learned her medical skills from Grandpa. She’s amazing!”
Xia Wan smiled sweetly.
Xia Feng didn’t believe her. “When did you learn medicine from Grandpa? Why haven’t you mentioned it before? With your personality, you wouldn’t have kept such a low profile if you really knew medicine.
Hearing this, Xia Wan was a little embarrassed. In the past, she had been a little willful and wanted the whole family to know what she knew. Xia Feng was right.
“It’s not that I didn’t want to tell you, but Grandpa didn’t let me. Otherwise, I would’ve shown off to you long ago!” Xia Wan once again used her grandfather as a shield without hesitation.
“Hmph, as expected,” Xia Feng said arrogantly, but in his heart, he believed her.
Grandfather had always been a reasonable person. When he was still around, everyone listened to him.
Thinking of this, Xia Feng felt a little dejected. Ever since his grandfather passed away, his grandmother had been in charge of the family, and their days had only gotten worse ever since.
Xia Feng stood up and walked back to his little house.
Very quickly, Yan Han finished boiling the medicine. Xia Wan smelled the bitter taste in the air and couldn’t help but think how great it would be great if there was sugar.
However, she could only think about it. Candy was very expensive, and they couldn’t afford it.
Xia Wan finished the medicine in one go and frowned.
“Wanwan, are you sure we don’t need to get a doctor?” Xia Hai asked worriedly. I’m quite familiar with doctor Niu’s side.”
“There’s really no need. Dad, even if you don’t believe me, you have to believe in Grandpa. Hearing Xia Wan’s repeated emphasis, Xia Hai finally gave up.”
Seeing that Xia Wan had finished her medicine, Yan Han smiled. “I’ll go get you something to eat. I’ll get you two eggs with your dad’s salary.”
“Okay, Thanks, Mom,” Xia Wan smiled.
It felt great to spend one’s own family money!
The kitchen in the house was shared, so when Yan Han came back with the eggs, Song Yan happened to see them and was shocked. “Sister-in-law, why do you still have eggs at home? Haven’t the eggs been distributed by Mother? I remember you ate all the eggs at home!”
Song Yan couldn’t be blamed for being surprised, mainly because Li Jin usually didn’t treat Yan Han’s children that well, and it was impossible that he’d secretly leave eggs for them.
“Sister-in-law, don’t tell me the chicken laid eggs again. You didn’t tell your family, and you secretly ate them!”
Yan Han protected the two eggs in his arms and quickly explained, “Sister-in-law, these aren’t the eggs at home. We bought them with our own money. Wanwan’s not in good health now, so we bought them for her.”
Because Song Yan wasn’t there when everyone was arguing, she asked, “But didn’t you give all of your family’s salary to Mother? Why do you still have your own money?”
Yan Han felt a little uncomfortable when he heard her interrogative tone.
Song Yan’s family only paid half of their salary every month. It was unfair for her family to give all of it to Li Jin every time. But now, Song Yan’s attitude made it seem as if her family should give all the money to everyone to spend and that they could not spend money on their own.
If Yan Han was the one who was being wronged, she wouldn’t mind, but since this was something her daughter craved, Yan Han decided to be tough for once. “My Wanwan almost died, and it’s all because of your Xia Ru. Speaking of which, you guys are partly responsible for Wanwan’s illness.
“If our Wanwan can recover this time, then everything will be fine. But if she’s contracted a chronic illness, then your Xia Ru and second sister-in-law’s Xia Ye will be responsible!
“You will all be accomplices to Wanwan’s death!”
