No matter how unwilling Han Daya was to accept her fate, Han Ze was concentrating on recuperating. Without a healthy body, nothing else mattered. In just ten days, he was much better. If he lay in bed for too long, his bones would be rusty. In the early morning and evening, when the sun was mild, he left the yard and strolled slowly to the head of the village to relax his muscles.
The villagers saw him walking around after just a few days. They were muttering in their hearts that the old couple Han Youtian had changed their sad faces in the past two days and were full of joy wherever they went. When they asked, they found out that Han Ze was getting better.
Thinking back to the days before, Han Ze had been in a coma for several days and was obviously dying. Unexpectedly, he was lucky and the King of Hell was unwilling to take him, so he woke up on his own. Now that his face is no longer as pale as before, his complexion has become rosy, and he is much healthier. He is really in good health.
Han Ze is not destined to die. People say that those who survive a great disaster will have good fortune in the future. They don’t know if Han Ze will take the exam for a scholar after he gets better? Will he faint in the examination room again?
Seeing Han Ze’s health getting better day by day, Han Daya was secretly anxious. She secretly took some tonic herbs from home. All tonic herbs are not cheap. She felt painful when she thought about giving them to Han Ze. She had to go to the meat stall to buy bones and stew them together. She couldn’t kill her own chicken.
Wang Caiwei was sincerely grateful and admired her elder sister-in-law for caring so much for her husband. If her brothers from her mother’s family were sick, she was be ashamed to think that she couldn’t do the same as her elder sister-in-law. She was not as good as her elder sister-in-law.
“Sister, let me make the soup.” The elder sister-in-law had already prepared the ingredients and herbs, and she could still do the work of making soup.
Han Daya certainly couldn’t let her stew it, so she smiled and said, “The nourishing soup needs to be controlled by the heat. If the heat is not controlled well, it will easily lose its efficacy. You do your thing, I’ll do it.”
Wang Caiwei was grateful, but didn’t say any words of thanks. She just waited for her husband to recover from his serious illness and thank her in person.
Others in the Han family also admired Han Daya, especially the Old Lady Han, who whispered to Han Youtian in private that their daughter was considerate and understood her mother’s worries, unlike the two younger wives who only knew how to gossip.
Erlang’s wife and Sanlang’s wife also had something to say, hiding in the house and complaining to their husbands sourly, “Father and mother are partial to them, and even the eldest sister-in-law’s heart is partial to the eldest brother.”
Erlang and Sanlang scolded their wives, “Eldest brother is not in good health, father and mother and eldest sister-in-law should take more care of him, do you also want me to be in poor health?”
Erlang and Sanlang’s wives immediately shut up, they would rather father and mother and eldest sister-in-law be partial to the eldest brother than their husbands to be in poor health.
After the tonic soup was cooked, Han Daya picked out the herbs and secretly threw them away. She personally filled a bowl of soup and brought it to Han Ze. Han Ze looked at the bowl of fragrant tonic soup and didn’t feel her care at all. He just felt creepy. He contacted the system in his mind and covered his nose and said, “Sister, what did you cook?”
Han Daya smiled and said, “Brother, you are so sick and weak. I made a pot of tonic soup for you. Once you drink it, you will be well.”
Old Lady Han said, “Brother, drink it while it’s hot. Your sister has been cooking it for the whole morning.”
Wang Caiwei also said, “Yes, husband, drink it while it’s hot.”
Han Daya’s eyes were proud, and she handed the bowl to Han Ze. Han Ze took the bowl, and the voice of the system sounded in his mind.
[System: This bowl of soup is full of tonic herbs and other medicines that harm the body. Your body is weak. It can only be warmed up, not replenished. Han Ze looked at the soup in the bowl, retched, and handed the bowl to Wang Caiwei, who was standing beside him. He then walked a few steps to the side. When he could no longer smell the soup, he waved his hand and said weakly, “Caiwei, don’t come over. I want to vomit when I smell that thing.”
Wang Caiwei and Old Lady Han were startled by his action. Wang Caiwei said anxiously, “Husband, what’s wrong with you?”
Old Lady Han was also worried. Why did her son want to vomit? Could it be that he was sick again?
Only Han Daya didn’t show any worry on her face. Instead, she smiled more. She was also wondering if Han Ze’s illness hadn’t healed and he was sick again. This was really great. There was no need to waste the medicinal materials at home.
Han Ze shook his head and said with a wry smile: “Mom, maybe I drank too much medicine some time ago. Now I can’t stand the smell of medicine. I feel nauseous and want to vomit when I smell medicine.”
It turned out that he was not sick, and she was happy for nothing. At that moment, Han Daya didn’t know how to describe her mood. Disappointment, unwillingness, disbelief, and anger. She never expected Han Ze to react like this. He even wanted to vomit because of the tonic soup she worked so hard to make. This eldest brother really jinxed her.
Old Lady Han and Wang Caiwei breathed a sigh of relief. Old Lady Han kept saying: “It’s good that you are not sick, it’s good that you are not sick!”
Han Ze explained: “Mom, I’m not sick, don’t worry, as long as I don’t smell the medicine, I won’t vomit.”
Old Lady Han’s relieved heart was lifted up again: “If you vomit as soon as you smell the medicine, then you can’t take medicine in the future?”
Han Ze smiled and said: “I think it won’t happen in a few days.”
Old Lady Han was still worried, but she was not as worried as before. Old Lady Han thought of her eldest daughter who worked all morning and made the soup, but Han Ze couldn’t drink it. She looked regretful and said, “What kind of life is this for you? Your elder sister saw that you were weak, so she personally made a tonic soup for you, but you couldn’t even enjoy it.”
Han Ze looked at Han Daya and said apologetically, “Sister, you have worked in vain.”
Of course, it was a in vain. This sentence touched Han Daya’s heart. So many tonics would cost so much money. She felt heartbroken just thinking about it. But Han Ze couldn’t stand the smell of medicine and couldn’t drink the tonic soup, so it was really a waste of time. She was particularly unwilling and said, “Big brother, can you really not smell it at all? It doesn’t matter if you drink a little or vomit. It’s always useful and better than not drinking it.”
Han Ze’s handsome face suddenly turned bitter: “Big sister, I know you are worried about me, but I really can’t smell the medicine. Besides, I have finally recovered. If I drink the tonic soup and vomit too much, I am afraid that I will get sick again. I don’t want to get sick.”
Old Lady Han was startled. Her eldest son must not get sick. She hurriedly said, “Han Ze can’t smell the medicine, so forget it. This is a tonic soup, not medicine. It’s okay for people who are not sick to drink it, right?”
Han Daya’s face was not very good, “Why drink tonic medicine if you are not sick?”
Old Mrs. Han thought for a moment and suggested, “Your mother-in-law was ill a few days ago. Why not take the soup back and give it to your mother-in-law to nourish her body?”
Han Daya’s face became even worse. Her father-in-law and her husband were doctors. They had sensitive noses. If they took the pot of soup back, it would definitely be exposed. Besides, she added other medicinal herbs to it, so she didn’t dare to give it to them. She said, “This is the nourishing soup I stewed for Han Ze. Mother-in-law can’t eat it casually. Only Han Ze can drink it, otherwise it will be wasted.”
Han Ze said, “You guys discuss it slowly. I’m going back to the house.”
Without waiting for the others to respond, he fled into the house.
Old Lady Han found it funny, pointed at his back, and muttered to Wang Caiwei beside her: “This Han Ze, is it possible that if he doesn’t want to drink the tonic soup, I will force him to drink it? Why is he hiding?”
Wang Caiwei smiled, “My husband was afraid of taking medicine at first. At that time, he was not in good health and had no choice. Now that he is well, he is not willing to take medicine.”
Old Lady Han shook her head and sighed, “He hasn’t liked taking medicine since he was a child, but he is the weakest. When the seasons change, he will get sick and have to take medicine.”
In the end, Han Daya took the pot of tonic soup away. She couldn’t give it to her family, and she didn’t dare to drink it casually. She could only pour it out reluctantly. After pouring the soup, she returned home listlessly, like she lost her soul.
More than one or two taels of silver, if Han Ze ate it and it worked, it would be fine, but it was all wasted. This was more painful than digging out her heart. She hated it. Han Ze was indeed her nemesis.
A few days ago, Han Ze was in a coma and lying unconscious in bed, which frightened several children. Even though their father is in good health now, they dare not relax for a moment. They took care of their father as if he were their own children. Whatever delicious food on the table is on the table, they let their father eat it first.
Han Ze felt bitter in his heart, but he did not reject the children’s kindness. He picked up chopsticks and ate a bite. Seeing the children laughing, he felt relieved.
After another two weeks, Han Ze finished all the medicine made by the system, and his body was completely healed. Old Lady Han was still worried, so she asked Wang Caiwei to take him to the town to see a doctor and let the doctor check his pulse. After checking the pulse, the doctor scolded them. “Why see a doctor if you are not sick? Are you looking for trouble?”
The two ran out of the clinic in disgrace. Despite this, Wang Caiwei smiled. Even the doctor said that her husband was not sick, so her husband was really healed.
