Chapter 1231: Chapter 1053: Xiao’ai, Dabao, Xiaobei

"Is the medicine at the Medicine Shop enough?" Xia Dabao asked again.

"It’s decent. I’ve been picking up batches from the town recently, and I usually spend half a day collecting herbs in the mountains. Look, the herbs drying at the doorway are all from there," Tian Xiaobei said. "Plus, during the planting season, people come in for snake bites and such, so I need to study methods for treating snake bites. I used to look at the ’Inner Canon’ a lot."

Xia Dabao, perhaps due to frequently exercising in the mountains, noticed that Tian Xiaobei looked a bit more sun-tanned and healthier.

While sitting in front of the house, Xia Dabao watched Tian Xiaobei drying the herbs, and couldn’t help laughing, "You, you’re really starting to look like a real doctor."

"Really?" Tian Xiaobei said joyfully. "Do you like how I look now?"

"Of course, you look much more confident now. By the way, have Auntie Zhao and Zhao Datu caused you any trouble?" Xia Dabao asked.

"Not really," replied Tian Xiaobei. "Once he waited for me outside for a long time, but I happened to be treating someone. It took quite a while, and he left because he ran out of patience."

"Good. If he ever troubles you, just let me know. I’ve already warned him anyway. If you ever get beaten up, it’s definitely his doing, and I’ll make sure he pays for it! Go on with your work now, I’m going to head off."

...

Auntie Zhao actually wanted to visit Tian Xiaobei, not to cause trouble, but to seek treatment.

Nowadays, everyone in the village was praising his medical skills, and more people were visiting him for treatment, but Auntie Zhao was too embarrassed.

Speaking of it, her condition was a bit embarrassing; it was stomach pain that only occurred during sexual intercourse, and it always forced her to stop midway. It was probably why Uncle Zhao visited Widow Chen as Auntie Zhao wasn’t up to the mark in that aspect.

Lately, whether Uncle Zhao had visited Widow Chen or not, Auntie Zhao really had no idea. The previous incident concerning the election of the village head had become a big joke in the village and was still discussed like a funny story among the villagers.

Because of this event, Uncle Zhao had ignored Auntie Zhao for quite some time. It was all her fault for boasting everywhere about her husband becoming the village head, which led to them sleeping in separate rooms now.

Meanwhile, Auntie Zhao kept thinking about how to win back Uncle Zhao’s heart.

That night, Auntie Zhao took an early bath, let down her hair in front of the mirror, and then contemplated the rouge before her.

Recalling a day she applied the rouge and became the subject of laughter, even scaring people away, she resolved to learn how to apply it properly. Peach Blossom Village wasn’t exactly a backward village; many women applied rouge here, and Auntie Zhao quickly learned the right way to apply a subtle layer and even groomed her eyebrows.

Being not quite forty, she looked fairly attractive after dressing up properly, and then she changed into a rather thin dress, specifically purchased from the town.

After getting ready, she knocked on Uncle Zhao’s door.

Uncle Zhao, who had gone to bed early that night, was very displeased to be woken up and didn’t even open the door. Instead, he cursed from his bed, "Damn it, what’s the matter at this late hour?"

"Hubby, just open the door and we’ll talk," Auntie Zhao’s voice was very gentle.
