TSMVHATRM Chapter 77

Time Space: the Male Villain Has the Ability To Read Minds Chapter 75: Treating Old Lady Xiang

When she thought of this, Li Cuihua felt a tightness in her chest that made her suffocate. She looked back at the mahjong hall.

From now on, she would never play mahjong again.

Mahjong is a harmful thing. It almost caused her to lose her son.

Liu Changlong and Pei Tiantian took a tractor to Dianzhuang Village, Xie Jiagui’s home.

When Pei Tiantian stood at the door of Xie Jiagui’s house, she was still a little bit unbelievable.

Xie Jiagui’s house was more dilapidated than she had imagined, and the house looked shabby.

Following Liu Changlong into the yard, Pei Tiantian felt the poverty of this family even more.

Doubts flashed through her mind.

Xie Jiagui’s restaurant was obviously so prosperous, and he made a lot of money every month.

Why not renovate the house?

Liu Changlong took Pei Tiantian to Xie Jiagui’s mother’s room.

Upon entering, Pei Tiantian saw Xie Jiagui sitting by the bed, massaging his mother’s waist. Hearing footsteps, Xie Jiagui looked up. “Brother Changlong, why are you and Tiantian here?”

“Tiantian is a medical practitioner. I brought her to see aunt,” Liu Changlong said.

Pei Tiantian finally understood why Liu Changlong knew Xie Jiagui.

It turned out they were actually related; Xie Jiagui’s mother was Liu Changlong’s aunt.

No wonder, in the novel, Xue Ningxiang always had access to the limited-edition meals at Xie Jiagui’s Imperial Kitchen, a source of envy.

It was the relationship between her stepfather, Liu Changlong, and Xie Jiagui.

Thinking about it, when Xie Jiagui started the Imperial Kitchen brand, Liu Changlong’s relationship with Xie Jiagui meant that he had, in large part, lent money to Xie Jiagui.

Pei Tiantian suddenly realized she had overlooked many details in the novel.

Tiantian is a medical practitioner?

Xie Jiagui thought he’d misheard Liu Changlong, so he just smiled quizzically.

Old Lady Xiang, lying in bed, also noticed someone coming. She supported her waist and slowly rose. “Changlong’s here.”

“Aunt!” Liu Changlong stepped forward and supported Old Lady Xiang.

She stared at Liu Changlong for a long moment, then suddenly spoke. “Are you really not planning on looking for someone else?”

Liu Changlong nodded.

Pei Tiantian understood. The old lady was referring to Liu Changlong’s personal issues.

As expected, these topics always occupied the elders’ top concerns.

“Are you not considering it again? The blind man ran away, so what? It’s nothing special. Aunt Xiang will find you a good one in our village when she has time,” Old Lady Xiang continued.

Hearing the old lady’s words, Pei Tiantian remembered who the blind man was referring to: Xue Ningxiang’s biological mother, Yang Qiong.

Pei Tiantian found this ironic.

In the novel, Yang Qiong and Liu Changlong got together smoothly. Their relationship developed smoothly without any setbacks, and they became a model couple that everyone in the village envied.

Unexpectedly, this time, Liu Changlong was mistakenly accused of murder and spent a week in jail.

Yang Qiong abandoned Liu Changlong and moved to the city with the Xue family, never to return.

It can only be said that the feelings between people cannot stand the test.

Liu Changlong was silent for a moment, then said: “Forget it, I have lived like this in my life, and I am used to it.”

Old Lady Xiang sighed helplessly, “Well, I thought I would finally have a family, but when Changlong fell into trouble, that woman ran away. It’s really-”

“Mom, don’t talk about these unhappy things.”

Xie Jiagui saw that Liu Changlong looked a little embarrassed, and hurriedly stopped the old lady from continuing.

Old Lady Xiang then noticed Pei Tiantian standing next to her, “Who is this little girl?”

Xie Jiagui introduced Pei Tiantian to the old lady, and Pei Tiantian sweetly called out “Grandma Xiang.”

Seeing the girl’s delicate features, round, grape-shaped eyes, and bright demeanor, she grew fonder. “What a sweet little girl!”

Pei Tiantian beamed at her.

Liu Changlong, however, didn’t forget his business. “Aunt, I called Tiantian here specifically to treat your back pain.”

Xie Jiagui and Old Lady Xiang were both stunned.

“Grandma Xiang, let me see you. I know medicine.”

Pei Tiantian stepped forward and sat down beside the bed.

Before Old Lady Xiang could react, a small, fleshy hand pressed against her waist.

Seeing those round, grape-shaped eyes staring at her, she said, “Grandma Xiang, if you feel any pain, just let me know.”

Pei Tiantian’s small, fleshy hand pressed against several spots on her waist. “Are there any sore spots?”

Old Lady Xiang shook her head.

Pei Tiantian took Old Lady Xiang’s pulse again.

She had a rough idea of what was causing her lower back pain.

As she had suspected, it was cold-dampness.

Pei Tiantian said, “Grandma Xiang, you don’t have a fixed pain point in your lower back. The pain is worse on rainy days, and it’s caused by cold. Just now, I took your pulse and found it was deep and wet, all signs of cold-dampness. Your lower back pain must be caused by cold-dampness.”

“That’s right, that’s what the hospital said!” Xie Jiagui snapped back to reality and spoke.

Old Lady Xiang stared at Pei Tiantian in amazement.

If the person sitting before her were a doctor, she wouldn’t have been surprised at all.

But the person who had just spoken to her was a five-year-old child—it was truly shocking.

Old Lady Xiang couldn’t help but ask, “Tiantian, how could you possibly know all this?”

“Tiantian studied medicine under a very capable master. Despite her young age, she knows a great deal about medical techniques,”

Liu Changlong said with a smile.

Pei Tiantian gave a subtle smile.

She was embarrassed to admit that this was her first time treating a patient.

“I have a prescription here, Uncle Xie. I’ll tell you what the ingredients are, please write them down.”

Xie Jiagui quickly fetched a pen and paper.

Pei Tiantian recalled the prescription from the “Medical Compendium” and slowly began: “Dried ginger, white atractylodes, cinnamon bark, saposhnikovia root, angelica root, asarum, poria…”

Xie Jiagui quickly wrote down all the herbs Pei Tiantian had mentioned.

“Give Grandma Xiang the decoction according to this prescription. The effects will be noticeable within a month,” Pei Tiantian said.

Xie Jiagui’s eyes were complex for a moment, his heart still restless. “Tiantian, I didn’t expect you to have such skills. Uncle Xie has learned a lot today.”

“Tiantian is such a smart girl, like a child prodigy. She will definitely have a great future.” Old

Lady Xiang stared at Pei Tiantian with a fiery gaze, as if she were her lucky star. The more she looked at her, the more she liked her.

She even felt that Pei Tiantian was sent by heaven to treat her illness.

Xie Jiagui folded up the prescription and stuffed it into his coat pocket, ready to go out and get the medicine.

He saw Liu Changlong and Pei Tiantian out the door, then took out a few hundred yuan and stuffed it into Liu Changlong’s hand.
