I Transmigrated Into a Novel and Became the Vicious Stepmother of Five Cute Babies
67 Seeking Medicine
âMy mother is busy. She was delayed for a while just now, so sheâs too busy with the family matters. If youâre not in a hurry, you can wait first.â
Da Bao had just watched the whole process of the incident and was even more impressed by what his Sixth Uncle had done. The incident that had just happened was still warm, but before he could forget who it was, he had come to his door. Donât blame him for being cold and unmoved by his respect for the elderly.
The Sixth Uncleâs face turned red from Da Baoâs words, but he could not refute it. He could only suppress his anger and smile at the child. He really stood outside the door and waited.
Da Bao went back into the house and said to Mo Ruyue, who was sitting at the table and writing something, âMother, Sixth Uncle is here. He said that he has something to discuss with you and is waiting outside the main gate.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âEh? Outside the gate?â
Mo Ruyue turned around and looked at Da Bao in surprise.
Although this childâs temper was a little fiery and his personality was a little dull and awkward, he was still very polite to the villagers. After all, the original owner had abused them and it was Da Bao who had to work part-time for the villagers to barely survive. He still remembered this kindness in his heart.
Normally, such a polite Da Bao would not let Sixth Uncle wait outside the door, but he did it. It was really beyond her expectations.
Da Bao felt a little uncomfortable under Mo Ruyueâs gaze. He turned his head slightly to the side and secretly glanced at her from the corner of his eye. He didnât expect that she was still staring at him and was caught red-handed.
He blushed and quickly said, âIâm not done sweeping the ground, Iâll go to work first. â
After he finished speaking, he ran off like a rabbit chased by an eagle.
Mo Ruyue saw his embarrassed look and couldnât help but laugh. The last bit of anger in her heart disappeared, and her face finally began to clear up.
She remembered that her Sixth Uncle was waiting outside. Although she didnât know why he came, it was either an apology or a request, or both. In short, he wouldnât come if he didnât have something to ask.
Mo Ruyueâs face, which had just cleared up, turned gloomy again. She quickly walked to the door and pulled it open slightly. She said to his Sixth Uncle, who was standing outside, âSixth Uncle, what wind blew you here? Didnât we just meet? Is there something else you havenât finished, and you want to add it to me?â
The Sixth Uncle was stunned. He thought to himself that Mo Ruyue and Da Bao were not biological mother and son at all. Then why did the mother and son speak in the same tone and words? If someone who didnât know the truth saw this, who would believe that they werenât biological mother and son?
Although he wasnât being lectured by a child this time, Mo Ruyue was still his junior. Those words didnât sound too harsh, but now he didnât dare to argue with her. He just smiled at Mo Ruyue.
âMadam Qin, itâs like this. Your medicine cured my wifeâs elder sister. My nephew offended you before and was embarrassed to come to your door, so he asked me to help him ask for a few more doses of medicine from you.â
âLetâs save her to the end and send Buddha to the West. Since weâve already saved her, only you can cure her. For the sake of the old lady, just help her a little more.â
After the Sixth Uncle finished speaking, he looked at Mo Ruyue a little uneasily. This womanâs temper was really bad now. She would glare at people if they didnât agree with her. Not to mention that he and his unlucky nephew had just offended her. It wouldnât be strange if they were driven away by her on the spot.
âSixth Uncle, didnât you and your nephew not trust me before? If something else happens to the old lady and she says that I used the wrong medicine, I wonât be able to explain myself. So, I think we should just forget it.â
Mo Ruyue wouldnât cause any more trouble for herself. She didnât want to provoke others, so it was best if others didnât provoke her.
Sixth Uncleâs face immediately fell, and his smile turned into a bitter one. He begged Mo Ruyue, âMadam Qin, itâs indeed our fault, but the old lady is innocent. At least the first thing she said when she woke up was to thank you. She just didnât give face to us. Letâs save her for her sake, shall we?â
âMy nephew isnât unfilial, but his motherâs illness is very scary when it acts up. It has been torturing the old lady for a long time. In order to treat his motherâs illness, he has been running around to see many doctors and spent a lot of money. Itâs not easy to see some improvement in your clinic.â Sigh. âPlease help.â
When Mo Ruyue was listening to him, she had been carefully observing his micro-expressions. There were a few places where he blinked quickly and nervously, and there were also times where he looked sideways at the bottom right corner. This showed that his words also had elements of fabrication, but there should also be a 50-60% truth.
She remembered how the old lady had held her hand and thanked her when she had just woken up. The old lady had woken up once when she had treated her, but she had fainted again very quickly. She had thought that the old lady would not remember the process, but she did.
Although Mo Ruyue was not the kind of person who would take the initiative to help others, she decided to save the old woman one more time on account of her gratitude.
âI can give you a prescription and a few herbs, but I have a request.â
As soon as she agreed, she immediately added without waiting for her Sixth Uncle to show a happy expression.
âMadam Qin, what conditions do you have? As long as itâs within our means, we wonât even blink!â
After Sixth Uncle heard this, he showed a happy expression. He was afraid that Mo Ruyue wouldnât mention the conditions. If she did, everyone could still discuss it. Besides, she also had selfish motives.
âYou only need to take this medicine after dinner every day. If you insist on taking it daily, do not eat spicy seafood, and do not touch smoking or alcohol, you will have an obvious improvement in half a year or three months. Three months later, you have to bring the old lady for a follow-up visit, and another half a year later.â
âI canât use my prescription all the time. I have to adjust it later. Otherwise, it wonât be a good medicine, but a fatal poison.â
Mo Ruyue stopped here and looked at her Sixth Uncle meaningfully.
âOh, I was wondering what kind of condition it was. Itâs only right. Even if we go to the townâs clinic to find a doctor, they still have to do regular follow-up checks. Since weâve come to you for treatment, isnât it right to do the follow-up checks?â
After Sixth Uncle finished speaking, he couldnât help but rub his hands and say, âAlso, I have another request for you, that isâ¦â
He hadnât finished speaking when he was rudely interrupted by Mo Ruyue.
âYou can just ask me for one thing at a time. I canât help you with more than that. Itâs up to you to decide which thing you want to ask for.â
Her words made Sixth Uncle choke, and he couldnât say the rest of the words.
He had originally wanted to ask Mo Ruyue to take a look at his illness. His illness had been there for many years. Although it wasnât fatal, it was very troublesome and difficult to talk about.
However, looking at Mo Ruyueâs current attitude, she seemed to have guessed what he wanted to ask for, so she directly used the excuse of only helping him with one thing to shut his mouth.
He had come here with the excuse of asking for medicine for his relatives. Now, he was asking him to change his words and treat his illness instead of giving his relatives life-saving medicine. Wasnât this equivalent to giving him a slap in the face?
