Chapter 862: Chapter 856 Tuberculosis_1
Da Lang glanced at Qin Xue, realizing that she genuinely wanted to help him and his mother, he thought for a moment before nodding in agreement.
âAll right, I promise you, I wonât hesitate when the time comes.â Da Lang agreed to Qin Xueâs invitation with a nod. This woman was willing to help treat his momâs illness and now even offered him a job â for this alone, she was a benefactor to their family. If not her, whom else could he help?
âThen take good care of your mother. Iâm heading back. If thereâs anything, come find me. I live at XX Lane number XX. Oh, and my name is Qin Xue,â Qin Xue almost forgot to introduce herself.
âAll right, my name is Wu Tianci, everyone calls me Da Lang.â The name Wu Tianci bears a story â his parents, after many fruitless years of marriage, one day found a baby at their doorstep. Ecstatic, they scooped the baby into their home, stating it was a gift from the heavens to shoo away their pitiful state of affairs. Hence, they named him âTianciâ, which translates to âHeaven-givenâ. Since then, he has been known as Wu Tianci.
âWhat a nice name. See you later,â Qin Xue chuckled after hearing his name. She thought it was a good thing he wasnât called Wu Dalang (the martial arts master), otherwise, sheâd think he was about to marry a woman named Pan Jinlian.
âGoodbye.â Wu Tianci watched Qin Xue until she was out of sight before turning back to his mother.
âIs that girl really a military wife, Da Lang?â Da Langâs mother asked her son.
âMom, of course she is, do you think I am the type to joke about such things?â Wu Tianci looked at his mother helplessly. Was she still not convinced?
âWhat a pity. Such a pretty girl. If she wasnât married, how perfect would it be if she could be with you,â Da Langâs mother still had a high opinion of Qin Xue.
âMom, please donât say such things again. Her husband is a soldier, sheâs married and has kids. You know how tough being a military wife is, we canât add chaos to her life or disrupt her marriage, right?â Wu Tianci cast a somewhat amusing look at his mother. She really wasnât giving up, was she?
âMom knows, momâs only speaking her mind. Did that girl say if your momâs illness can be cured?â Da Langâs mother had only seen Qin Xue hand her son a piece of paper and say a few words, but she didnât mention whether or not she could be cured.
âMom, rest assured. Sister-in-law said as long as you rest well, donât overthink, and take your medicine regularly, youâll be fine. But she said the medicine might not taste good, so will you promise to eat it?â Wu Tianci looked at his mother; she had a unique dislike for Chinese medicine. The prescription Qin Xue had handed over wasnât Chinese medicine, but when mixed with ginger and garlic, it didnât seem like it would taste good either. Hence, he wanted to remind her to bear with it.
âI know, Iâm not a child anymore. Just do your stuff without such fuss!â Da Langâs mom stared at her overly-concerned son. It was her illness that was causing him troubles. Hadnât it been for that, heâd still have been leading his preferred military life. No need to attend to an old woman like her or worrying about her refusing to take medicine. She was indeed fortunate to have such a son.
On her way home, Qin Xue stopped by the market to buy two chickens and two pork bellies, along with some other ingredients. She planned to make stuffed pork belly with chicken. One dish for them to enjoy and the other for Chu Molin, who she hadnât had time to cook for since returning due to having to deal with Qing Tengâs issue.
With time at her disposal now, Qin Xue decided to cook whatever she felt like. Once busy, she might not have the time even if she wanted to prepare something. Carrying the groceries she had purchased, she headed home with the idea to cook early and drop the food at Chu Molinâs before it got late. Besides, she wanted to be at home to put her child to bed.
