CHAPTER 158: CHAPTER 158: THE NAIVE YOUNG COUPLE (2)

Since no one else wanted it, Li Yuzhu happily accepted.

Saltwater shrimp dipped in soy sauce and vinegar had a unique flavor.

Luckily, there were plenty of dishes on the table, so the Great Princess and the Xue Family enjoyed their meal without saying anything else.

The Second Young Master and Li Xing’an also ordered a jug of wine.

They pulled Mu Yuanxiu to drink with them.

However, Mu Yuanxiu didn’t drink a single drop.

The brothers shared that jug of wine.

While everyone was eating, Li Yuzhu heard the sound of an argument from the restaurant entrance.

She looked up and saw Liu Da Niu and Hu Shuangcheng arguing with someone.

They were being scolded, their faces embarrassed.

"Really too honest, why don’t they talk back when being scolded?" The Great Princess also noticed and put her chopsticks down, standing up suddenly, "Let me take a look."

"What are you looking at? Sit down! I’ll go!" The Second Young Master pressed the Great Princess down and strode over.

"I’ll go too, the Second Young Master is always bad with words, never wins an argument." Li Xing’an also followed, taking two steps and turning back to point at the table, "Everyone sit down, don’t crowd over here, it’s crowded and messy."

Because today was market day, the restaurant was full of people, and it was rowdy, squeezing through would leave you drenched in sweat.

Everyone stayed seated at the table and watched.

Soon, the Second Young Master and Li Xing’an squeezed to the entrance.

"What’s going on, Da Niu?" The Second Young Master looked at Liu Da Niu and then at the middle-aged couple who was scolding them, "Why don’t you talk back when they scold you?"

"You’re really too honest, no wonder you get bullied by your mother-in-law, don’t even talk back when scolded." Li Xing’an sneered at her.

Neither of them paid attention to Hu Shuangcheng.

Liu Da Niu murmured, "They are our elders."

The Second Young Master raised an eyebrow, "So elders can scold people randomly?"

"Who are you people? What’s it to you?" The middle-aged man pointed at the Second Young Master, "I’m disciplining my niece, why are you interfering?"

"So you’re just a distant uncle, I thought you were her real uncle!" The Second Young Master snickered.

Li Xing’an also sneered, "Liu Da Niu is my second sister’s teacher, why can’t I interfere? What does being an elder matter? Did she scold or hit you? You’re going to scold her in front of so many people? I’ve met her parents, even they wouldn’t scold her in public, who do you think you are?"

"Exactly, who do you think you are, just a distant uncle, acting all mighty?" The Second Young Master sneered.

"Come on, that’s outrageous, the young couple is still young, can you interfere in whether they have kids or not?" An elderly man shook his head displeased, "If anyone should interfere, it should be their parents. You’re scolding them in public, what does that say?"

"The couple gets along so well, trying to separate them, aren’t you afraid of divine punishment?" A woman added.

"Exactly, it’s too ridiculous. Discussions about whether to have children should be within the family, saying it outside, how can you let them hold their heads high among people?" A middle-aged man said.

With these few speaking up, others also expressed their dissatisfaction.

The middle-aged couple had originally come to eat but seeing so many people talking against them, they felt embarrassed and slinked away.

"Alright, they’ve run away, why don’t you come in and continue eating?" Li Xing’an smiled at Liu Da Niu.

"We... weren’t here to eat, we just saw you here and wanted to say hello, and didn’t expect..." Liu Da Niu sighed, "Thank you for earlier, you continue eating, we’ll go elsewhere to take care of things."

Liu Da Niu smiled awkwardly and nodded at Li Xing’an and his brother, pulling Hu Shuangcheng away.

"Such honest couple, getting scolded like that and not talking back." The Second Young Master shook his head.

The brothers returned to the table to eat.

The Great Princess huffed with indignation, "These two are too honest! How do they manage their daily life?"

Li Yuzhu drank her fish soup, lowering her gaze in thought.

She noticed earlier that Hu Shuangcheng was carrying quite a few medicinal herbs, had they really gone to see a doctor?

For what issue?

She knew how to treat illnesses, Liu Da Niu wasn’t unaware, so why seek out another doctor?

Her mind was elsewhere while eating.

Thinking it over, she decided to inquire, "I’ll go ask Liu Da Niu something, you continue eating."

With that, she put down her chopsticks and bowl and dashed out of the restaurant.

"I’ll go take a look too, don’t want the third sister to get lost." Li Xing’an also ran out.

"Couldn’t you just ask when you get back, why run out to ask?" The Great Princess raised an eyebrow.

Liu Da Niu and Hu Shuangcheng were walking slowly, Li Yuzhu quickly caught up to them.

"Da Niu, I need to ask you something, please wait!" Li Yuzhu ran out of breath, shouting at Liu Da Niu’s back.

Liu Da Niu turned her head, "What is it, Miss Li?" She nodded at Hu Shuangcheng, "You go ahead and wait for me in front, I’ll talk with her for a while."

"Okay." Hu Shuangcheng carried the medicine package and walked ahead.

Liu Da Niu walked back and smiled, "What’s the matter?"

Li Yuzhu looked around, pulled Liu Da Niu to a deserted corner, and asked in a low voice, "Let me see the prescription you had for the medicine."

Liu Da Niu blushed and said embarrassed, "Miss Li, I’m sorry, it’s not that I don’t trust your medical skills, it’s... it’s Shuangcheng... he said it’s better to find someone familiar, I couldn’t argue with him, so I had to go along."

"I know, I’m not talking about that, I mean, what illness did you two see the doctor for? I want to refer to it and learn, also as a way to study the skills of seniors." Li Yuzhu waved her hand and asked.

"It was for night sweats, palpitations, shortness of breath, and hand tremors. The prescription was taken by the doctor, it’s not with us." Liu Da Niu sighed, "Shuangcheng becomes like this every night. We’ve been married for three years, and he’s like this every day. I’m worried it might be some serious illness."

Li Yuzhu had to laugh, what serious illness?

There’s no serious illness!

If anything, it’s just that the husband finds his wife so adorable that he gets nervous and anxious.

The two of them haven’t succeeded in their affairs, isn’t it normal to feel anxious?

If they had succeeded and slept together for three years, it would be like the left hand holding the right, feeling nothing much.

Even sharing a bed might feel redundant.

Sleep together for another ten years, and they might just be living together, each in their own room.

"This kind of condition needs proper care. One or two doses of medicine won’t show effects." Li Yuzhu thought about it, took out a small medicine bottle from her cloth backpack, and stuffed it into Liu Da Niu’s hand, "Here, let Hu Shuangcheng take one pill before bed, this is a month’s treatment, once finished, he’ll be completely well."

Actually, it was Chinese patent medicine taken from her space, containing aphrodisiacs like sheep aphrodisiac.

In a month, this couple would have no illness at all.

They might even conceive a child without realizing it.

"Oh." Liu Da Niu looked at the inch-high small white bottle and tucked it into her waist purse.

Li Yuzhu reminded her again, "This medicine is only for Hu Shuangcheng’s condition, don’t let anyone else take it, if it doesn’t suit others it might harm them, and that would be my fault."

Liu Da Niu nodded, "Got it."

"Also, when your period comes, he shouldn’t take it." Li Yuzhu thought of something and cautioned her again.

Liu Da Niu didn’t understand, "Why? What’s the connection between my period and him taking medicine?"

Li Yuzhu, "..." Why does this girl always have to get to the bottom of things? Her mind spun fast, and finally came up with an excuse, "Because the scent of menstrual blood will reduce the effectiveness of the medicine, taking it would be in vain. It’s better to wait until your period is completely clean, without a trace of blood, before taking it, for better results."

Better for conceiving a child.

Liu Da Niu blinked, "I understand now, thank you, Miss Li."

She took some money from her pocket and offered it to Li Yuzhu, "This is a hundred wén for the medicine fee, I’m not sure if it’s enough."

Li Yuzhu waved her hand, "You taught my second sister how to make pancakes, we haven’t paid the tuition yet, let’s forget the money today."

"How can that be? These medicine pills are made from herbs, I can’t let you work for nothing." Liu Da Niu insisted that Li Yuzhu take it.

Li Yuzhu had to accept it.

Liu Da Niu smiled slightly, "Then I’ll head back, we’ll come to the market together on the next fair day."

"Alright." Li Yuzhu waved at her.

After Liu Da Niu walked away, Li Yuzhu headed back.

She saw Li Xing’an waiting for her some dozens of steps away.

Li Xing’an looked dejected, "Third Sister, if you have a tonic, why don’t you give me some?"

Li Yuzhu was startled, this boy, can you even take this?

"That’s for women’s bodies, do you want to take it?" She glared at Li Xing’an.

Li Xing’an was stunned, "Wo...women’s?"

"Yes, it helps women conceive, do you want to take it?" Li Yuzhu teased him.

Li Xing’an’s face darkened, "No! Maybe Second Brother will want it!"

Li Yuzhu laughed, "If Second Brother knew you teased him like this, he’d beat you up!"

Li Xing’an chuckled, "He can’t beat me!"

Back at the restaurant, everyone had already finished eating, waiting for Li Yuzhu.

However, Mu Yuanxiu wasn’t at the table.
