49 The Gentle Sister
She looked at Xia Wan with a gentle expression and said, “I heard from my father that you were the one who helped me in time. Thank you, Wanwan.”
Rou ‘er’s voice was gentle. Just by listening to her voice, one could feel that she was a gentle and understanding girl. Xia Wan’s impression of her only got better.
Li Yan happened to come over with a bowl of medicine in his hand, and when he saw Xia Wan, a touch of disgust flashed across his eyes, but he still hid it.
He walked to Xiao Rou’s side and said gently, “The medicine is ready. Come, I’ll feed you.”
Perhaps it was because Xia Wan and the others were there that Xiao Rou looked a little shy, but she still let Li Yan feed her the medicine.
Zhou Tian was very satisfied when he saw this. He felt that he had found the right son-in-law. He had always been very considerate when it came to taking care of his daughter.
Xia Wan’s eyes flickered. This Li Yan was different from the one she had seen in the store. Xiao Rou’s illness had already escalated in the store, but he was unhappy because of her half-commanding tone. He didn’t even want to care about Xiao Rou, who was lying on the ground, because he didn’t want to listen to her.
But now, he was clearly the image of a good husband who was infatuated and gentle.
Xia Wan didn’t have a good impression of Li Yan.
After Li Yan finished feeding her the medicine, Zhou Tian immediately asked Xia Wan to take Xiao Rou’s pulse.
Xia Wan already knew about Xiao Rou’s condition, but she still pretended to be very serious in diagnosing. At the same time, she also asked about Xiao Rou’s usual symptoms and when they started.
From Xiao Rou’s explanation, Xia Wan understood that she had suddenly fallen ill a month ago. When she relapsed, she was unconscious and did not know what she was doing. Every time it happened, her body would become weak, and she would feel weak all over. She would often want to rest and lose her appetite.
Xia Wan listened patiently. After Xiao Rou finished speaking, Zhou Tian looked at Xia Wan with anticipation. “How is she? Can Xiao Rou be cured?”
Xia Wan looked at Zhou Tian with a comforting look in her eyes. “It should be curable. The situation Sis Xiao Rou described is very similar to a patient Grandpa told me about before. However, I need to prepare the medicinal herbs, and it will take some time. Sis Xiao Rou, you can just rest and recuperate for the next few days. I will come back to officially treat you.”
When Li Yan heard this, he showed a little disbelief and asked, “You’ve always heard about it from your grandfather, but you’ve never treated her before, have you? If Rou’er’s body is damaged, will you bear the responsibility?”
Zhou Tian immediately reprimanded Li Yan, “How could you talk to Xia Wan like that? She is the only chance we’ve got to save Rou. Don’t you want her to get better?”
When Li Yan saw Zhou Tian’s grave attitude, he immediately restrained his temper and said patiently, “Dad, I’m just worried that she doesn’t know medicine at all and only said she can cure Rou for the benefit. In the past month, many people have said that they can cure Rou’s illness, but in the end, it’s useless.
“And she’s so young. I’ve heard that the older one dabbles in Chinese medicine, the more experienced one becomes. She’s so young. What skills can she have?”
Xia Wan looked coldly at Li Yan’s provocation and did not immediately reply.
She also wanted to see Zhou Tian’s attitude. Although she thought Rou was a good girl, if the whole family were suspicious of her and thought Rou couldn’t be cured, she would just ignore the entire matter.
Zhou Tian immediately became serious and reprimanded, “Li Yan, don’t let me hear such words again. As long as there’s a chance to save Xiao Rou, we shouldn’t let go of it!”
Then, he looked at Xia Wan guiltily. “Wanwan, don’t take his words to heart. Just treat her. Even if you can’t cure Rou in the end, I’ll definitely remember your kindness.”
He took out a red packet from his pocket and handed it to Xia Wan. “This is the deposit. Take it. As long as you can cure Rou, I will give you more money.”
Xia Wan didn’t accept it and pushed it back to him. “No, I haven’t cured Sis Xiao Rou yet. How can I accept your money? Please take it back.”
