My Wife Is A Miracle Doctor In The 80s

Chapter 268: Chapter 261: Oh Xiaobai Cai

However, just before the New Year, she fell ill. It was undoubtedly stress-induced.

Stress can kill, just like Teacher Song right now. If she continues being stressed out like this, she might just cause her own death.

Soon after the exam results were released, it was time for the New Year’s Eve again. For many people, this year was going to be a good one, especially for Tang Zhinian. He and Ren Li had already gotten their marriage certificates. Ren Li, being impulsive, didn’t say anything and immediately claimed the certificate with Tang Zhinian once they received their hukou. Despite it being his second marriage, Zhinian felt like a young boy again. The thought of getting married again kept him awake for several nights.

They got their wedding sorted out right before the New Year. The ceremony was held in the village. Although they originally planned to keep it small, the wedding ended up being rather grand because now, Zhinian was not short on cash. The whole Xu, Lin, and Chen Families came. When they saw Tang Zhijun’s little daughter, a beautiful and obedient girl in her early teens, everyone wished they could take her home as their own.

Sisi was a sweet talker, she sweetened everyone up by calling them auntie, uncle, big brother, big sister.

Zhijun felt immense happiness for his brother marrying again. They had been single for so long, it wouldn’t make sense to give themselves a hard time just for the sake of Zhilan. They didn’t even have someone to depend on when they were away from home.

Zhijun also had his own ideas. He and Zhang Xiangcao had been married for many years but didn’t have a child. If he didn’t have children in this lifetime, it would be okay as they had Sisi, and Zhinian had Yuxin.

However, having a boy would be even better. Hence, he hoped that his elder brother could marry a woman and continue the Tang Family’s lineage.

Thankfully, this time, Zhinian saw the light and decided to get married.

His sister-in-law was much better than Zhilan, she was refreshing and a bit fierce. She loved children a lot. The fact that she always looked after SIisi and spent money on her showed that she was a good woman. She would never leave her own daughter behind like Zhilan did.

Most importantly, she got along well with Yuxin. Despite Yuxin being a bit cold, she and Ren Li were like mother and daughter, sisters, and friends. This made Zhijun very relieved.

At the very least, he didn’t have to worry about Yuxin turning into a frail little girl.

He thought so and believed so. But he didn’t know that at this moment, Yuxin wanted to stab this woman to death with a needle.

At this moment, Ren Li was hiding in fear behind Zhinian, staring fearfully at the shattered glass bottle on the floor. The bottle had broken into pieces, and there was a strong smell of wine mixed with an intense medicinal scent. While the scent wasn’t cold, Yuxin’s expression was freezing.

Amongst the shards of glass on the floor, there was a bright red snake, limp and with closed eyes. Obviously, it had been dead for a while.

“Forget it, Yuxin,” Zhinian shielded Ren Li behind him in case Yuxin’s piercing gaze killed her.

“Your mom didn’t mean to do it, she was just startled.”

Ren Li was nodding repeatedly. She was cleaning when she stumbled across the snake and out of fright, she accidentally dropped the bottle and it shattered.

It was only then that she found out the wine inside the bottle was Snake Wine that Yuxin has been infusing for years with lots of medicinal herbs. Once it was ready, it was meant for Zhinian to drink. The Snake Wine could eliminate dampness, strengthen the body, and it was good for his health. Now, it was all wasted.

To say that Yuxin was not upset would be a lie. She had put a lot of effort into this bottle of medicinal wine. She had collected the medicinal herbs from the mountains for a month and processed the snake in a special way. It had always been a treasure to her, but now, it was all ruined.

Yuxin walked over, squatted down, and picked up the dead snake.

Even though Ren Li was a brave person, she was still afraid of such soft-bodied creatures. It seemed that no woman wasn’t afraid. Seeing Yuxin picking up the dead snake fearlessly, her brain went blank, and she fainted out of fear.

“Yuxin…” Zhinian was utterly helpless. With one hand holding his wife and the other calling his daughter’s name helplessly.

Yuxin glanced at Zhinian indifferently, then started singing.

“Little cabbage, leaves are yellowing, only two or three years old, mom’s walking away…”

Zhinian’s eyes twitched. He had no choice but to take the faint Ren Li away first. Later, he had to return and deal with the wine.

He was running around taking care of the women at home, then getting a new bottle and wine for his daughter so she could infuse a new batch of Snake Wine. Although the snake was used once, it was not completely useless, its effect was just slightly less.

Having two women in the house was truly giving him a huge headache.

Zhijun was secretly laughing at his older brother for marrying such a lively woman and having a quirky daughter. It seemed like his life was getting more and more interesting.

If Zhinian knew Zhijun’s thoughts, he would definitely scream back at him.

Interesting? What’s so interesting about this? You try living this awful life! Especially with his daughter, Yuxin, who would sing the ‘Little Cabbage’ song whenever something didn’t go her way. It was almost as if he had forgotten about her after getting married.

But heavens knew, in his heart, his daughter always came first. No one could replace her. Even after marrying Ren Li, or even if he were to have a son later, his daughter would always be his priority.

Yuxin gave Lin Yile several packets of medicine.

“Drink it every day, remember.”

“Okay,” Lin Yile obediently agreed. She had gotten used to drinking whatever Yuxin gave her over these two months.

“Yuxin,” Lin Yile put the medicine into her schoolbag and then asked Yuxin, “When do we start studying? I don’t even want to celebrate the New Year anymore, studying is more important.”
