It was unclear whether she was provoked by Su Xiaoxiao’s words or shocked by the aura that erupted from Su Xiaoxiao’s body. It was rare that Aunt Fu did not respond to Su Xiaoxiao.

When Su Xiaoxiao handed two white pills and a spoonful of warm water to her mouth, she took them cooperatively.

“It feels better, right?”

Su Xiaoxiao put down the cup with satisfaction.

Just now she got a little emotional and said something out of a fury. It wasn’t only because the fact that the patient didn’t care about her own life, but also because of the thought of Father Su, who was separated from Mrs. Chen when he returned from a business trip of darts*. He still felt guilty about it until now.

*Business of darts : in the old days, the related terms of escort agencies, that is escorts protect money, property, etc. on the road, and sometimes protect people.

And there was also herself, she would never be able to go back to the 21st century.

In that world, she was already a dead person.

Su Xiaoxiao was not someone who would indulge in negative emotions. She had a strong ability to adjust.

She quickly returned to the point and said, “Won’t you ask me what I just gave you?”

Aunt Fu’s body recovered and she can speak clearly, but her attitude still remained indifferent.

Aunt Fu said coldly, “What can it be? Do you really think your own folk prescription can cure people?”

She had seen a lot of folk prescriptions in the countryside, and there were some people who died because they consumed them.

Su Xiaoxiao did not argue with her.

Facts spoke louder than words. With high blood pressure, a person’s body was bound to feel uncomfortable. After a while, when the drugs took effect, she felt more comfortable, only then did she understand how symptomatic and miraculous her ‘folk prescription’ was.

Su Xiaoxiao said again, “You haven’t mentioned your illness to Doctor Fu, right? Do you think headaches and dizziness are trivial matters? And your numb limbs are caused by sitting for too long? Or is it you yourself who hides the sickness for fear of treatment* ah?”

*Hiding a sickness for fear of treatment (idiom) : concealing a fault to avoid  criticism / to keep one’s shortcomings secret / to refuse to listen to advice.

Aunt Fu said impatiently, “Why are you talking so much today!?”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “I talk a lot because I care about you.”

Aunt Fu said angrily, “Who wants you to care? Is your care very valuable?”

Looked at this woman’s eccentric temper. Wei Ting, Jing Yi, and her combined together were nothing in comparison.

They both had cold personalities, and Aunt Fu was really irritable and fiery. She also had a very poisonous tongue, no wonder her neighbors were so afraid of her.

But if you wanted to say that she was a bad person, Su Xiaoxiao wouldn’t agree.

She has dealt with the Fu family multiple times. She thought that the medicinal materials from Doctor Fu were of good quality, and it was his profound medical ethics to not mix the material with fake ones. If you really paid close attention carefully, you would also find that Aunt Fu’s goods were top quality and trustworthy.

Her dried goods were the best in the market, and she weighed them adequately. There was no such thing as a shortage in weight. Instead, she usually added more.

Doctor Fu had treated a lot of people, but he didn’t earn much money, because there were a lot of poor people who could not afford to pay medical fees.

Aunt Fu, who had a strong personality and bad temper, cursed at all of her neighbors, but she never said much about it.

Su Xiaoxiao snorted, “I won’t argue with you anymore. I’m going to cook.”

Aunt Fu scolded, “You still want to cook at my house!?”

Su Xiaoxiao put her hand on her hips and said, “I’ve been working for so long, I’m cold and hungry. What’s wrong with having a meal? If you have the ability, you can hit me ah!”

Aunt Fu looked at her splinted leg, she was so angry that her wrinkles seemed to be trembling.

Su Xiaoxiao revealed a triumphant smile, she clapped her hands, and said, “Alright, don’t be angry. Just lie down and sleep for a while, so that the medicine can be effective faster.”

Medicine effectiveness?

Heh!

She was just a little girl who sold pot-stewed dishes and snacks. Did she really think that a random folk prescription could cure her vertigo that she had for so many years?

-Pot-stewed dish / Lu Cai (卤菜)

At most, she believed that this girl did not intend to poison her. But if this girl was saying that her medicine can cure her, she wouldn’t believe it even if she was beaten to death!
