Traveling through the 1970s: The young wife loves to make trouble

Chapter 119 Three Consultations
It was already mid-morning when the ox cart arrived at the next brigade and stopped at the door of the thatched hut.

Wei Jingyuan and the other three got off the ox cart one after another. Uncle Li smiled and said that he would take the oxen to graze everywhere and they would not go far. If they wanted to go back, they could just call him.

Tao Qiuyi nodded with a smile and walked towards the thatched hut first.

In the room.

Old Jiang, who was preparing herbs, was surprised to see Tao Qiuyi coming, but not surprised at all. Then he saw the three siblings following behind her and said jokingly, "Hey, what's wrong with you today? You brought your family with you."

Wei Jingyuan sat on the long bench in a familiar manner, with Li Zi and Xiao Huai standing behind him.

Xiao Huai had a blank expression on his face and looked straight ahead, while Li Zi was just the opposite. Her big eyes looked around curiously.

"Mr. Jiang, I'm here today to ask you to examine all three of them." Tao Qiuyi stated his purpose directly and took out a dollar from his pocket and handed it over. "This is the consultation fee."

What? All three looked at it, and Li Zi and Xiao Huai were stunned.

Wei Jingyuan was a man who had experienced many storms, and although he was surprised, he did not show it on his face.

Looking at the one dollar in her hand, Mr. Jiang sighed, "Only one dollar for the consultation, what a generous gesture!"

He usually treated patients and charged only a few cents for the medicine, no more than 20 cents at most.

She gave one dollar at a time, how generous of her.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Mr. Jiang." Tao Qiuyi spoke modestly, but his expression was not humble at all.

"Okay." Old Jiang did it without hesitation. He opened the drawer and put a dollar in it. He then took out the pulse pillow he needed to take the pulse and the paper and pen he needed to record the pulse. "Who among you three goes first?"

Wei Jingyuan and his two siblings looked at each other and did not move.

They didn't move, so Tao Qiuyi ordered directly, "Xiao Huai goes first, Li Zi comes second, and your eldest brother comes third."

Xiao Huai was called first. Without saying anything, he walked forward and sat on the long bench at the signal of Mr. Jiang.

"Stretch out your hand, I'll take your pulse first." After Old Jiang said this, Xiao Huai put his hand on the pulse pillow. Old Jiang looked at the young boy and placed his fingers on his pulse.

Nearly a minute later, Mr. Jiang paused and asked Xiao Huai to change to the other hand, and Xiao Huai did so.

This time the pulse diagnosis took a little longer. When Old Jiang withdrew his hand, his expression was a little strange.

"How is it?" Tao Qiuyi asked.

Elder Jiang said: "He didn't develop well in the womb, and he didn't get timely care after birth. His body suffered severe damage during growth, and malnutrition led to slow development..."

"In short, if you don't take care of your body, it's hard to live past 20."

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of several people changed, and Wei Jingyuan and Li Zi came over.

After a brief moment of shock, Xiao Huai's expression gradually calmed down, as if the person that Old Jiang said had a hard time living past the age of twenty was not him.

"Is it so serious?" Tao Qiuyi asked with a frown.

She couldn't understand it. She had clearly given Xiao Huai pills to regulate his body for so many days. Even if the effect of the medicine was slow, it shouldn't be that there was no improvement at all.

Hey! That's not right, the old man said something before.

If you don’t take care of your body, you won’t live past the age of 20. In other words, if you take care of your body, you won’t live past the age of 20.

This old man's words are really...

Seeing Tao Qiuyi's expression, Old Jiang knew that she had figured it out. He smiled slightly and looked at Li Zi, "This girl and he are twins, a boy and a girl."

"Yes." Wei Jingyuan nodded. Jiang Lao said directly to Xiao Huai: "You stand up and let the girl sit down."

Xiao Huai got up and Li Zi sat down.

Sitting on the long bench, Li Zi was extremely nervous and scared. The color faded from her palm-sized face, and her big eyes were filled with anxiety.

At this moment, a hand was placed on her shoulder with some force.

When she turned her head and saw that it was her most trusted and admired sister-in-law, Li Zi's anxiety immediately dissipated a lot, and she slowly placed her hand on the pulse pillow.

Old Jiang reached out to check Li Zi's pulse.

"As expected." After a moment, Elder Jiang nodded in understanding. Without keeping the three of them waiting for too long, he withdrew his hand from feeling Li Zi's pulse and looked at Tao Qiuyi. "Her physical condition is the same as her brother's."

Xiao Huai was shocked and his face quickly turned pale. The old Chinese doctor said that he would probably not live past the age of 20. Li Zi's physical condition was the same as his, so wouldn't she also not live past the age of 20?

How could Li Zi's physical condition be the same as his? How could it be the same as his?
Xiao Huai could calmly accept that he would not live past the age of 20, but he could not accept that his sister would not live past the age of 20 like him.

Wei Jingyuan frowned and looked at Old Jiang with disapproval, but did not expose him.

Li Zi's face turned pale with fear, and she suddenly grabbed Tao Qiuyi's hand on her shoulder. Her physical condition was the same as her brother's, which meant that she would not live past the age of twenty.

"Sister-in-law..." Li Zi couldn't say the rest of the words, and her thin body began to tremble uncontrollably.

She didn't want to live past the age of twenty. She still wanted to live with her sister-in-law, she still wanted to be as capable as her sister-in-law, she still wanted to go out and see the world as her sister-in-law had said, she still wanted...

Woo woo woo, she didn’t want to live past the age of twenty.

"Be good, you and Xiao Huai will be fine." Tao Qiuyi patted Li Zi's back gently to comfort her. He turned to look at Mr. Jiang and said in a cold voice, "I understand. Thank you, Mr. Jiang."

If it weren't for Old Jiang helping to find out the problem with Xiao Huai and Li Zi, just because Old Jiang scared Li Zi to tears, she would have torn down the thatched hut right now.

On second thought, if I hadn't traveled through time to this era, Li Zi and Xiao Huai would probably not live past the age of 20. Now that I have traveled through time to this era, Li Zi and Xiao Huai will not live past the age of 20.

Got it? What did she mean by that? Wei Jingyuan and Xiao Huai both looked at Tao Qiuyi.

"You're welcome. You paid, so it's only natural for me to treat you." Old Jiang snorted. What she meant was that she understood, not that she was asking him how to treat her.

What does this mean?
This means that she wants to take care of the twins herself.

So, the twins' bodies were able to recover so quickly because she was the one who nursed them back to health. Elder Jiang was now certain that she was also the one who nursed Wei Jingyuan back to health.

His tone was so harsh, was he angry? Tao Qiuyi was speechless. She wasn't angry at all, but he was. This old man had a bad temper!

Seeing that Tao Qiuyi didn't respond, Jiang Lao simply asked directly: "Can you show me the prescription you gave them to regulate their bodies?"

"We didn't take any medicine." Li Zi shook her head in confusion. Suddenly, she remembered something and exclaimed, "Oh! No, my sister-in-law gave us a pill every day."

She spoke too quickly, and it was too late to stop her. Xiao Huai looked at Li Zi speechlessly, then looked at Tao Qiuyi. She wondered if she would be unhappy that Li Zi had said it so directly.

Wei Jingyuan also looked at Tao Qiuyi. He took the pills she gave him and felt that he was indeed in much better shape recently.

Li Zi saw that her two brothers were looking at her eldest sister-in-law, so she also looked at her eldest sister-in-law.

Tao Qiuyi was speechless when he was looked at by the three siblings.

"What kind of pills are they?" Old Jiang asked anxiously.
