Chapter 2416 Compensation
Today, Cao Yueyue's younger brother, Cao Dagongzi, has fully recovered and his medicinal cuisine restaurant business is thriving. He has now opened 11 chain stores in the city, with each store employing around 35 people and generating a net monthly income of about 50 yuan. It has become a local specialty health-focused restaurant and a popular tourist destination.

According to Young Master Cao's original intention, he would be happy as long as he honestly guarded this increasingly prosperous little shop, and as for how far it could develop in the future, that was not something he should worry about.

however……

Cao Yueyue always believed that the medicinal cuisine restaurant was just a tool to help her younger brother get out of trouble. Now that Bian Mu had treated him carefully, her brother had recovered and should return to help her manage the Cao family's business, such as the emerging new Chinese medicine project. As for the medicinal cuisine restaurant, it was just an insignificant accident. She could just find an agent to manage it.

Cao Yueyue's plan was very shrewd. Her younger brother and Bian Mu had an extremely close relationship, at least the kind of friendship where they could talk about anything. It was perfect for her younger brother to coordinate the traditional Chinese medicine project. Playing the family card would work every time.

After being stubborn for a while, Young Master Cao finally couldn't go against his sister's wishes and has now returned to the company headquarters to work as an assistant to a vice president, spending his days following the vice president around and gradually familiarizing himself with the key points of the Cao family's various businesses...

On the phone, Young Master Cao would occasionally complain to Bian Mu, claiming that he was just not cut out for business. He preferred small businesses like the medicinal cuisine restaurant, which were simple and easy to run. His older sister would take care of the finances, and Bian Mu would control the business strategy. He could easily reap the benefits. Where else in the world could he find such a good deal?!
Bian Mu would at most smile, always maintaining an ambiguous attitude.

Bian Mu looked up to signal to Young Master Cao to make himself at home, and continued taking the pulse of the young female patient.

“Weak pulse… yet it rebounded in time on the third level, quite resilient! The rebounding force also faintly reveals a bit of penetrating power, it seems… this person in front of me should also be the kind of person with an introverted but very distinct personality, quite grounded… then… the cause of the illness is probably quite special, in addition, her husband didn’t come with her, he probably has some problems too…” Thinking of this, Bian Mu had a better understanding of the situation.

"How long had you been taking herbal medicine before coming here?" Bian Mu asked casually after taking her pulse.

"It's been a little over two years..." the female patient replied calmly.

"Then... do you remember Codonopsis pilosula? No matter how those prescriptions are adjusted, they always include this main ingredient, am I right?"

"That's right! What? Shouldn't this ingredient be added?" The woman suddenly seemed a little bothered.

“No, it’s just that… even if some prescriptions are very effective, if the ‘medicine environment’ is not right, long-term use can sometimes have the opposite effect. For example, for the past two or three years, I think… your back hardly sweats, even on those unbearably hot days in the summer. Am I right?” Bian Mu asked with a gentle smile.

Upon hearing this, the woman was taken aback, and a look of astonishment immediately appeared on her face.

"How did he know such a private matter?! No wonder the outside world speaks so highly of him, it seems... he really does have some skills!" the woman thought to herself.

“It is a bit like that… and sometimes, I mean in the height of summer, even though it’s stuffy and hot, my back feels a bit cool, like a chill is blowing on it from time to time…” “Hehe… you should know something about the concepts of energy, magnetic field, and information compensation, right?” Bian Mu suddenly mentioned the concept of “compensation”.

"You mean... a certain balance is broken by external factors, and there may be some kind of energy, magnetic field, or information replenishment, substitution, or replacement between the various organic components within a thing, thereby seeking another balance, is that what you mean?"

"Insightful! Now... let's abstract this concept philosophically. You married into their family, which is the kind of traditional extended family with several generations living together, many brothers and sisters, and a habit of gathering from time to time. Normally, they live separately but not as separate households. Relatively speaking, the family energy gathered in your husband's family will be higher, and the magnetic field will be stronger. The density and frequency of information exchange will be completely different from when you were a girl in your own family. In layman's terms, it's like... the two families are not on the same wavelength. You are quite well-mannered in all aspects, and your relationship with your husband is quite good. At least, after being married for so long and still not being able to conceive, your husband probably hasn't complained at all!"

Upon hearing this, the woman nodded slightly.

"In their family, you're one of the few! Although you two live in your own little house, their way of interacting has always been that of separate households but not separate families... Over time, your energy has been suppressed without you even realizing it. When we first examine you, we see a false weak pulse. Upon closer inspection, we can see it's all about your cultivation and forbearance, so..." Considering that this female patient is highly perceptive and has a good level of education, there's no need to be too blunt. Let her figure it out herself later!
"Oh...then...do I still need to take my medication?"

"What we're discussing now is actually a prescription. Their family is the main compensatory prescription, while you're in the awkward position of the minority submitting to the majority. Their family forms a large group, and when you interact with them, you have to sacrifice some of your individual compensatory dominance and let them take the lead. Over time, the energy in your body will inevitably shift. In addition, your husband may have some personality issues... Over time, the environment for normal conception has actually been completely destroyed. Therefore, when it's convenient, it would be best if your husband came over alone. There are some things I need to verify with him before I can draw a conclusion. You may have already guessed that the family compensatory mechanism between you and your husband is no longer normal."

"I understand. Then I won't take the medicine for now... or I can receive other traditional Chinese medicine treatments?"

"No need for now, but later... I suggest you talk to your parents more, you'll get some insights! Also, before the height of summer arrives, I suggest you sunbathe your back whenever you have free time, whether at home or in the office, even through a window, it's just as effective, at least 40 minutes a day."

"Understood, thank you, Master!"

"You're welcome!" After saying that, Bian Mu gave the intern Lao Peng a wink, and he escorted the female patient away.

Before the alarm clock rang, Bian Mu walked over to the bench where Young Master Cao was sitting.

Why are you passing by our side at this time?

"Hey! My wife... Yanzi! Lately, I don't know what's wrong with her, she keeps having nightmares at night, and nothing I do seems to help. Her appetite has decreased even more in the last couple of days, and her wrists and ankles are inexplicably itchy. She's so irritable! We can't help but bicker, it's so annoying! I feel like she's developing some kind of... you know..."

"Possessed by an evil spirit?!" Bian Mu blurted out, staring intently into Young Master Cao's eyes for a moment, which made Young Master Cao feel somewhat uneasy.
