Switched Marriage: The Coddled Little Wife

Chapter 559: Chapter 559: Troublesome Nuisances

Sun Hao is responsible for the security of the train station area, not the area of Old Sir He’s house, but He Caixia doesn’t know that, especially since she really did climb the wall to get in.

When Su Wensong caught her with a uniformed officer, He Caixia was genuinely frightened.

She quickly explained her relationship with Old Sir He.

Having been warned in advance by Su Wensong, Sun Hao naturally didn’t let her go, asking for proof or to contact Old Sir He.

What evidence could He Caixia provide? She hadn’t been in touch with Old Sir He for a long time; it was only because her sister told her that Old Sir He had a very capable apprentice, and this apprentice could solve her husband’s work problem, that she wanted to reconnect with the old man.

As for contacting Old Sir He, it was impossible.

She didn’t even know where Old Sir He was, so how could she contact him?

Sun Hao saw her reaction and didn’t listen to her explanation, directly taking her to the police station.

He spoke with a colleague and detained He Caixia for three days.

Even three days scared He Caixia badly.

Ordinary folks like them had never seen such a scene, and being taken to the police station wasn’t something to boast about; once the neighbors knew, she wouldn’t dare leave her house.

He Caixia repeatedly promised never to do it again, and only then did the police release her.

Old Sir He snorted after hearing, “During the festival, don’t mention these people to me, it’s just upsetting.”

Though he said that, it was clear that Old Sir He was very satisfied with Su Wensong’s handling of the situation.

Since the moment his two daughters cut relations with him, Old Sir He’s heart had been deeply hurt.

Now they came back clinging, they weren’t healing Old Sir He’s wounded heart, but tearing open his scars and rubbing salt into his wounds.

His two daughters being unreasonable, Old Sir He had no solution and was actually fed up long ago.

After returning from Qin Family Village, Lin Chuxia first brought Old Sir He to the residential compound.

After Lin Chuxia and Minister Wei’s ideological work, Sister-in-law Gong finally agreed to see a Chinese doctor.

Upon hearing that Lin Chuxia had brought an old Chinese medicine doctor to the compound, Minister Wei hurriedly brought Sister-in-law Gong to Qin Yang’s house.

Minister Wei wanted his wife’s health to be good; they had visited hospitals often and taken lots of medications with no results over the years.

He knew about the profoundness of Chinese medicine, but the previous doctor they consulted was not skilled, which made his wife lose confidence.

If this old Chinese medicine doctor could improve his wife’s health even a little, it would give them hope.

Old Sir He was in the room drinking tea, and upon seeing Sister-in-law Gong’s appearance, he knew what to expect.

The pulse examination wasn’t complicated or lengthy, but when it came to prescribing medicine, Old Sir He directly pointed at Qin Yang, “I’m old, my eyesight isn’t good, I’ll say and you write.”

Qin Yang rushed to the study to get paper and pen, sitting aside obediently listening to Old Sir He recite the names and weights of the medicines. When encountering unknown characters and looking at Old Sir He in bewilderment, Old Sir He directly glanced at Lin Chuxia.

Lin Chuxia stepped forward obediently this time, and told Qin Yang how to write each character.

Watching them, Minister Wei and Sister-in-law Gong felt tense yet amused.

After finishing treating Sister-in-law Gong, Old Sir He asked Qin Yang to take him home.

Lin Chuxia wanted him to stay for dinner, but Old Sir He mumbled that he was tired after being out all day and wanted to go back to sleep.

After he left, Sister-in-law Gong chuckled and said, “Your master is quite interesting; had I known he was your master earlier, I would’ve surely asked you to take me to him for treatment.”

Previously, Lin Chuxia only mentioned introducing an old Chinese doctor without revealing her relationship with Old Sir He.

Minister Wei, feeling hurt, interjected, “So, ultimately, you agreed to see a doctor just for Lin’s sake, didn’t listen to a word I said despite my persuasion?”

Sister-in-law Gong looked back at him laughingly, “Of course, I could disregard your request, but I had to consider Lin’s. Besides, your repetitive old sayings, I’ve heard countless times, my ears are about to form calluses.”

Minister Wei got pierced in the chest again.

To prevent his wife from poking his chest again, Minister Wei promptly changed the subject.

“Is the ’three-nine acupoint’ that Old Sir He mentioned really that miraculous? This is the first time I’ve heard of it.”

Sister-in-law Gong also looked at Lin Chuxia.

Earlier, besides prescribing Chinese medicine, Old Sir He also formulated a treatment plan, where Sister-in-law Gong would need to visit him regularly for acupuncture.

Lin Chuxia nodded, “The ’three-nine acupoint’ is a type of acupuncture therapy, which has benefits such as warming and invigorating qi, strengthening the spleen and kidneys, benefiting the lungs, and opening up meridians. Chinese medicine emphasizes the person being part of a unified whole with nature, thus, while treating diseases, it harmonizes the body’s yin and yang with seasonal climate characteristics. Moreover, the ’Inner Canon of Huangdi’ also discusses nurturing inner harmony in autumn and winter and treating summer ailments during winter. Sister-in-law’s condition wasn’t developed overnight, and now during the ’three-nine days’, Master wants to seize this opportunity to help adjust her health.”

After Lin Chuxia’s explanation, Minister Wei and Sister-in-law Gong were filled with confidence.

“Make sure you listen to the doctor’s advice this time; we have to follow through no matter what,” he said.

Sister-in-law Gong agreed with Minister Wei, but still didn’t spare her words, “Do I even need you to tell me? Lin has introduced such a good doctor to me, I will definitely follow their advice.”

Lin Chuxia noticed that Sister-in-law Gong, who always presented herself as composed and good-tempered around outsiders, became feisty and unyielding in front of Minister Wei.

It seemed as if arguing with Minister Wei a bit made her feel less lifeless and helped Minister Wei forget her afflictions.

Seeing nothing else needed doing, Minister Wei and Sister-in-law Gong also left.

After seeing off Minister Wei and his wife, Lin Chuxia was about to head to the kitchen to cook dinner when Jiang Hong’s voice came from outside.

“How come you’re free to come today?”

Jiang Hong now works at Huamei Mall and has to take care of her child after coming home; it’s been a while since Lin Chuxia had seen her.

Jiang Hong raised the cloth bag in her hand, “Got off work early today and came to see you. Look what good stuff I’ve brought you.”

Lin Chuxia saw the contents and her eyes lit up, “Pickled bean sprouts? How did you know I wanted to eat these?”

“To be honest, I loved eating these when I was pregnant.”

Jiang Hong then asked Lin Chuxia about her recent situation; regarding pregnancy matters, Jiang Hong is experienced, and Lin Chuxia didn’t hide anything, telling her about her recent condition.

“You’re much better than I was; at your month, I was already vomiting like crazy. I was worried you’d be the same, so I specially made these for you.”

She took out another jar from the bag.

Lin Chuxia had seen the jar earlier but hadn’t figured out what it was.
