Chapter 529: 529 So Bitter It Reaches the Heart (Updated)

Mrs. Yang was utterly helpless when it came to her son.

That was precisely why she was so eager for Heping to have a home of his own.

With a home, his heart would have a tie.

One day, when she joined Old Xiao, she would have something to talk about.

Xiao Heping obediently walked over.

He looked at the medicine Lin Tang had brought with a strange expression.

"How do you use this medicine?"

It wasn’t that Xiao Heping was inexperienced, but that the medicine defied his understanding of medication.

On the table was a transparent little bottle containing a light green liquid.

No matter how hard he thought about it, he couldn’t imagine this being medicine that cured illness.

Lin Tang made a drinking gesture, her expression slightly smug.

"Just gulp it down, and it will work after one dose, pretty rough and simple, right?"

Compared to the current medicine, her potion was not only effective in one go, but it also tasted good—it was far superior.

She had a right to be proud, didn’t she?

Xiao Heping looked at the strangely colored medicine and fell silent.

Such a medicine was unheard of.

Mrs. Yang had tried the medicinal wine that Lin Tang provided, which greatly improved her health, and she had an unusual confidence in Lin Tang.

She patted her son’s arm. "What are you dazing for, drink it quickly."

Song Yi was also wary of the medicine, but fearing that he’d upset Lin Tang, he said nothing.

He wasn’t afraid there was something wrong with the medicine—people weren’t that complicated these days and if someone asked for help, they surely would give all their trust.

What he really thought was that the medicine would surely be bitter enough to stick to one’s heart.

Thus, he looked at his leader with sympathetic eyes.

The tongue and even the stomach would be bitter after drinking it, right?

The eyes of three people on Xiao Heping made him unsure which expression to put on his face.

He opened the bottle and drank the medicine without changing his expression.

When he discovered the medicine wasn’t bitter, his slightly furrowed brows relaxed.

"The taste is not bad," Xiao Heping said in a deep voice.

Song Yi inwardly clicked his tongue, not quite believing it.

How could medicine taste good?

Sure enough, the stoic man lived up to his reputation, showing no mercy even to himself.

Thinking this, his respect for Xiao Heping grew.

Mrs. Yang asked a key question, "Tangtang, is it fine after drinking the medicine just once? Don’t you need to take it several times?"

Upon hearing that, a line of frustration formed on Xiao Heping’s forehead.

Could medicine be taken repeatedly? It wasn’t like it was treating the brain.

Lin Tang nodded confidently.

"Once is enough. The medicine mainly focuses on repair. After one night, Uncle Heping can go to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow. I believe the results will please you all."

Mrs. Yang, looking at her confident gaze, felt a sense of relief.

She turned to Xiao Heping and started planning his schedule for the next day.

"Did you hear that? Tomorrow your mother will accompany you to the hospital for a check-up."

Xiao Heping said helplessly, "... The county hospital probably won’t be able to do the check-up; I’ll go to the Provincial City another day."

Mrs. Yang was taken aback.

She stared blankly at Xiao Heping for a few seconds.

Then she looked at Song Yi.

"Xiaosong, keep an eye on Heping and make sure he doesn’t forget again," she said.

With a son who had only work on his mind, how could she not worry more as a mother?

Song Yi, as if he had received an imperial sword, stood up straight like a young poplar.

"Auntie, rest assured, I guarantee to complete the mission," he said.

Mrs. Yang was very reassured by him and turned to look at the silent Xiao Heping.

"You have to listen to Xiaosong in this matter," she said.

Xiao Heping, faced with the fierce gaze of his mother, had no choice but to agree.

"Mm."

Lin Tang watched the commotion from the sidelines.

No matter how powerful one was outside, in front of their own parents, everyone just had to bow their heads.

She was confident about the check-up results, so she didn’t mention anything about letting her know afterwards.

After finishing the important conversation, she stood up, ready to leave.

"I’ve delivered the medicine, so I should head back home," she said.

Mrs. Yang took her hand, her smile genuine in her eyes and brows.

Considering that Tangtang might still have to work, she didn’t keep her for long.

She accompanied Lin Tang to the entrance.

"Tangtang, thank you for taking trouble for Uncle Heping’s sake; I truly thank you. When you come back to the village, make sure to come by our house more often. I’ll cook something delicious for you," Mrs. Yang said, patting Lin Tang’s hand.

No matter whether Heping could get better or not, she would always be grateful to Tangtang, the Xiao Family’s benefactor.

Lin Tang waved her hand. "It was just a small effort on my part, please don’t worry about it. I feel honored that I can help you with my knowledge," she said.

It was, after all, the mission of everyone who studied medicine and pharmacy.

Mrs. Yang just smiled without speaking, etching this favor in her heart.

"Alright, I got it. Be careful on your way," she said.

After watching Lin Tang leave, Mrs. Yang returned to the courtyard.

"Heping, when are you going to the Provincial City?" she asked.

Xiao Heping thought his mother was rushing him for the check-up results and sighed deeply in his heart.

"In a couple of days," he replied.

A touch of wistfulness crossed Mrs. Yang’s face.

"Two more days? Can’t you go sooner?" she sighed. "It will take you quite some time to travel there and back; by then, the daylilies would have gotten cold."

Xiao Heping’s stern face turned blank, and he frowned slightly. "What about daylilies getting cold?"

What did daylilies have to do with his medical check-up?

Mrs. Yang stared at him irritably. "Tangtang did you such a big favor; shouldn’t you buy something to thank her?" she said, then began to analyze seriously.

"Tangtang works in the county; she’s definitely not interested in the usual stuff there.

Buy her something uncommon in the Provincial City—wouldn’t that show we really mean it?"

Xiao Heping: "..."

Oh, that’s what she meant.

After a moment of silence, he said flatly, "I’ll go tomorrow."

Instead of being frowned upon at home, it was better to leave early and buy a unique thank-you gift for the young lady.

Mrs. Yang gave her son a look meaning ’good to know you understand,’ and fanning herself, she went into her own room.

-

Meanwhile, Lin Tang returned to her own home.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, it felt like she had walked into a racket as noisy as a duck pen.

Everyone was chattering; their clamorous voices buzzed in her ears.

Her mind was filled with quacks...

Lin Tang scratched her ear and asked, "What’s going on?"

Li Xiuli, seeing her daughter back, hurriedly waved her over. "Tangtang, come look at this picture, it’s taken so well!"

Lin Tang: "?!"

They hadn’t finished looking at the pictures?

She walked over and cooperatively began to flip through the photographs.

Black and white pictures.

Each person’s features were sharp and clear, bearing the unique stamp of the era.

There were many pictures, and not every face was picture-perfect.

In some shots, the Lin Family members were either grinning foolishly, expressionless, cross-eyed, or caught blinking—

It all looked particularly amusing.

The pictures of the four little ones and Qiuqiu turned out well.

The former were cute in any shot, and the latter appeared endearing no matter what.

"They’re all quite good. From now on, our family should take a photo every year, and eventually, we can compile an album.

In ten or twenty years, we can look back and see how we’ve come this far."

In Lin Tang’s mind appeared an image of many years later, looking at pictures with her elders while a bunch of children ran and played around.

What a picture of happiness that would be.

Warm!

Full of mundane life and love.
