CHAPTER 108: CHAPTER 108: A HEART DISEASE REQUIRES A HEART REMEDY (1)

There’s an old saying that a heart condition needs a remedy from the heart.

She wanted to see what was Miss Chai’s heart condition.

"What difference does it make to talk about it? My father won’t come back to life, and everything can’t return to how it was." Miss Chai gave a bitter smile.

An older woman beside her sighed, "Miss Chai, it’s all in the past, be generous, and look forward."

"No, I won’t! Why does everyone persuade me to be generous? Why not persuade them?" Miss Chai angrily slapped the bed, "If my father were still alive, would I be living like this? The entire family bullies me!"

As she spoke, Miss Chai burst into tears.

After crying for a while, she suddenly clutched her neck with both hands, gasping for air.

"Don’t cry! Calm down! I have a way to make you walk as usual within two days!" Li Yuzhu suddenly said.

At the same time, she quickly took out silver needles and pricked a point on Miss Chai, calming her down.

After an emergency treatment, Miss Chai finally calmed down.

She widened her eyes, looking at Li Yuzhu with excitement, "Do you really have a way?"

"Yes." Li Yuzhu held her down and said, "However, you need to temporarily let go of your burdens and focus on recovering. If you keep dwelling on unpleasant thoughts, the illness won’t get better."

"..."

"You say you hate those who plotted against you and made you like this. If you remain unwell, wouldn’t it be fulfilling their wishes, letting them laugh at you?"

"Absolutely not!" Miss Chai said bitterly.

"Then you need to listen. Don’t think about anything else for now, focus on getting better first." Li Yuzhu said.

It seemed she couldn’t ask about her inner thoughts now.

Miss Chai looked at Li Yuzhu and nodded, "Okay, quickly treat me."

To walk as usual in two days, surgery couldn’t be done for now.

Li Yuzhu had to first prescribe medicine for Miss Chai to take.

She took out some patented Chinese medicine from her space and wrote a prescription for the older woman, "Go quickly to get the medicine, take it first and let’s see, in two days I will give your lady other treatments."

Whenever she went out, she carried a cloth bag on her back.

This cloth bag was her hidden "space."

To outsiders, it looked like a cloth bag, but it was actually her space.

The Chinese medicine taken from the bag was made automatically from the herbs she recently collected and put in.

As long as she input the names of the herbs, the space would automatically make the medicine.

The older woman thanked her, went outside, and handed the prescription to the old servant to get the medicine.

While waiting for the medicine, Li Yuzhu first gave Miss Chai the Chinese medicine to take.

After taking the medicine, Miss Chai felt much calmer.

She looked at the older woman, "Granny Zhou, please step outside, I want to speak with Miss Li alone."

The older woman hesitated, "Miss Chai, please don’t overthink. Keep your health in mind."

"Isn’t Miss Li here? Could she watch me die?" Miss Chai raised her eyebrows lightly.

"Pfft, take back those words for good luck." The older woman quickly waved her hand.

Li Yuzhu said, "Granny, you can go, I’ll watch over your Miss Chai."

"Sigh, then I’ll trouble you." The older woman nodded and went outside.

Once the footsteps faded, Miss Chai looked up at Li Yuzhu, "Miss Li, you seem to have quite a few brothers and sisters."

Li Yuzhu nodded, "I have two sisters and three brothers."

"Do they treat you well?" Miss Chai asked quietly.

Li Yuzhu recalled the family atmosphere in this life; the three brothers never fought over things with the sisters.

When something happened, the brothers would protect the sisters.

The three sisters sometimes argued, but their relationship was passable, without a major hatred.

Conflicts between siblings were just about vying for affection, quarreling in idleness, arguing in the morning, making up in the afternoon.

Fighting one day, reconciled the next.

Much like a modern world big family.

Not worrying when apart, attacking each other when together.

Quarreling and playing daily, but mostly loving each other.

Li Yuzhu thus said, "It’s alright, no big conflicts, just occasional arguments, they never hit me because I’m the youngest, my brothers always protected me."

"But my brothers and sisters all wish for my death!" Miss Chai gave a bitter smile, "They seem friendly on the surface, scheming underneath."

Li Yuzhu blinked, "No way. Is it that serious?"

"We’re not born of the same parents, why wouldn’t it be?" Miss Chai sneered.

Li Yuzhu sighed, "So that’s it, but they wouldn’t want to harm you, right? You are the youngest in the family."

"If my mother were alive, they wouldn’t dare to kill me!" Miss Chai gritted her teeth, paused, and said resentfully, "Blame it all on my mother. If not for her, how could I be living this life!"

Li Yuzhu was confused, "How is it related to your mother?"

Miss Chai gave a bitter smile, "My father was my grandmother’s eldest son. After his first wife died, he remarried to my mother. My brother and I are not of the same mother."

"Not siblings of the same mother?" Li Yuzhu was surprised.

Miss Chai continued, "Shortly after I was born, my father died. My second uncle wanted to seize my family’s property, my brother was not yet ten, and my mother was young, with no choice, she took us siblings and remarried to the recently widowed second uncle."

Li Yuzhu understood, "So, your two sisters are just cousins?"

"Yes," Miss Chai sneered, "My mother couldn’t bear daughters who steal husbands."

"..."

"But my mother’s fate was bitter. Two years after remarrying my second uncle, she died of illness. I’ve lingered on in the second uncle’s house to this day."

After saying that, she sneered again.

"My eldest brother wanted to inherit the property, to not be kicked out by the second uncle, so when the second sister took a fancy to Mr. Luo, he persuaded me to give up. By blood, I am his closest relative! Yet he treats me like this!"

As she continued, she grew agitated, gasping for air.

Li Yuzhu pressed her acupoint to prevent dizziness.

"Don’t get excited, maybe your eldest brother also has unspeakable difficulties?"

"What unspeakable difficulties could he have? Sacrificing his sister’s happiness for his own, how is he even a man!" Miss Chai stated through gritted teeth.

"He surely meant well, he discovered that Mr. Luo is a scoundrel! He doesn’t want you to plunge into a pit of fire." Li Yuzhu’s eyes flickered slightly as she spoke.

Miss Chai squinted, "What are you saying? Luo... Mr. Luo, how could he..."

Still calling him Mr. Luo!

The day after tomorrow, he’ll be the groom, and another woman can call him Mr. Luo!

"He liked you for your family’s wealth at the time, he never truly liked you. After your father died, he quickly transferred his affection to your second sister because your second uncle became the head of the family."

"..."

"The reason he delayed breaking off the engagement until you fell ill was just to avoid a bad reputation as a scoundrel. It’s because your illness is rumored to make one infertile."
