After traveling through time, she took her husband to be a food doctor

Chapter 372: Mother and son are at loggerheads, patient persuasion temporarily eases

"Doctor Ding, can you help me persuade my mother?"

"It's useless," Ding Xirui shook his head. "I can only ask Mrs. Niu to trust you. There is no other way. But it's really useless."

"I've grown up..." Niu Xiaoben muttered to himself, lowered his head and remained silent.

Ding Xirui stood up and slowly walked to the window. In the yard, Mrs. Niu stood on tiptoe not far away, looking around with a frown on her face. It was cloudy today, and the cold wind was blowing. The maid persuaded her to go back to the house, but she waved her hand and insisted on standing there.

"Master Niu, do you want to continue? Living in a daze every day and doing nothing?" Ding Xirui asked.

Niu Xiaoben didn't say anything.

"You said you've grown up, but fighting with Mrs. Niu and throwing tantrums don't seem like something a 'grown-up' would do," Ding Xirui continued.

Niu Xiaoben raised his head and said, "My mother doesn't believe me anyway, other people in the mansion don't take me seriously, and people in the academy continue to laugh at me. Why should I change? I might as well be like before, doing nothing and thinking nothing."

“Are you living for others?”

"I..." Niu Xiaoben seemed to be angry. He held it in for a long time and didn't say a complete sentence.

Ding Xirui sighed, thought about it carefully, and said, "Looking at your current condition, even if you force yourself to continue to lose weight, the effect will not be good."

A trace of panic flashed in Niu Xiaoben's eyes, "Doctor Ding, are you going to ignore me?"

"How about this, Master Niu," Ding Xirui walked up to him, "Let's not talk about losing weight. From today on, for three days, you will go out every morning and walk to the streets and alleys of Luocheng County to meet all kinds of people."

"Just look at the person?"

"Yes, just look at people. You can look at anyone you want, and look at them however you want. If you are curious, just ask and chat with them..."

"What's the use of this?" Niu Xiaoben muttered.

"I can't guarantee it will work, but it's better than what we have now. Anyway, I'll come back in three days."

"Okay then, but, Doctor Ding... you will tell my mother about my going out, right?"

Ding Xirui paused and said, "Well, I will persuade Mrs. Niu to agree to this matter."

The door opened and Mrs. Niu hurried forward. Niu Xiaoben lowered his head again and took a few steps back.

"How's it going, Doctor Ding? Did you understand?"

"Mrs. Niu, Young Master Niu is tired. Can you let him rest for three days, go out and relax, and then start the weight loss plan again after three days?"

"Rest? He's not doing anything now, so isn't that rest? Doctor Ding, look at him, his figure is about to become the same as before, so why is he still resting?"

"Mom, I'm tired." Niu Xiaoben said, turned around and left.

"You child, you are becoming more and more unruly... The older you get, the more troublesome you become..." Mrs. Niu was so angry that her hands were shaking.

"Mrs. Niu..." Ding Xirui bowed slightly and invited her back into the house.

"You are worried about Master Niu with good intentions. However, you should also take care of your own health."

"Hey, Doctor Ding, I'm fine. I have no problem at all. You should tell me whether Xiao Ben has been convinced. Will he lose weight? We have put in so much effort and the whole family has cooperated, just for him... I am really, almost mad at him."

"Mrs. Niu, please relax first. Look at your frown. It hasn't relaxed since I came. Please take a rest first, have a cup of tea, and warm up your body."

Hearing Ding Xirui say this, the maid beside her quickly brought over some hot tea.

"But..." Mrs. Niu still looked very anxious.

"Mrs. Niu, please sit down and drink your tea slowly." Ding Xirui patted her arm gently.

Mrs. Niu was helpless and said nothing more. She took the tea and drank it quietly one sip after another. Ding Xirui watched from the side and felt that the tense atmosphere in the room was fading.

"Doctor Ding, I've already drunk the tea. Xiao Ben..."

Alas, the atmosphere in the room immediately returned to normal. Ding Xirui smiled helplessly, "Madam, let Young Master Niu take a break first and go out to relax. You two should calm down. Now that you are confronting each other like this, both sides will suffer."

"Doctor Ding, I don't want to either. It's this child who won't listen no matter what I say. This is all for his own good."

Haha, the classic sentence of "It's all for your own good" finally came. Ding Xirui paused and said, "Mrs. Niu, Master Niu is your son. He is not an ordinary person. You should trust him."

"I...he..." This sudden compliment made Mrs. Niu blush a little.

"Madam, Master Niu is kind and upright. He is focused and perseverant in doing things because you taught him well. You can tell by the results over the past six months. You are also losing weight, and you know how difficult it is. It is even harder for Master Niu. But he persisted. It is really not easy."

"Yes, it is not easy." Recalling the first few days, those feelings are still in my heart.

"This is a big matter, and it is understandable to encounter some minor problems. However, no matter what, you must believe in Young Master Niu, believe in your own son, and believe that he can do it." Ding Xirui continued.

"Yes, although this child... but, he has been very considerate since he was a child..." Mrs. Niu murmured as the past events came to her mind.

"So, relax for now. Young Master Niu is gradually growing up. You should give him some space and some opportunities to make decisions. You can also take this opportunity to rest. Look at your forehead. If you keep wrinkling, you will really get wrinkles, and it will not recover."

"Oh, I'm really used to worrying too much." Mrs. Niu stroked her forehead and smiled awkwardly.

"You can let Young Master Niu go out freely for the next three days. If you are worried, just have someone secretly follow him to protect him. Young Master Niu is so smart. Let him think about it himself. He will definitely understand your painstaking efforts and figure it out."

"Will he really do that? I'm afraid that as soon as he goes out, he will look for that girl Xiaoqiao." There was a hint of sharpness in Mrs. Niu's eyes.

"Madam, Master Niu told me that he just wanted to help Xiaoqiao because he knew her. It's nothing serious and he might forget about it in a blink of an eye." Ding Xirui said, moving closer: "If you are particularly opposed, he might take it to heart and go against you and think about Miss Xiaoqiao, which would be counterproductive."

"Yes, yes, children of this age like to contradict each other. Oh, I was so angry that I forgot about it." Mrs. Niu looked frightened. "I can't say anything more. I can't scold him anymore."

"Yes, let Master Niu go out for a walk. He will get bored if he stays at home."

Mrs. Niu pondered for a moment and finally nodded. Ding Xirui was finally able to take a break and drink a cup of tea at ease. It is not easy to convince a mother who is worried about her son. First, stabilize her emotions, then affirm her contribution, and then build her confidence in her son and relieve her anxiety. Ding Xirui was not in a good mood to begin with. After thinking and talking for so long, he felt that all his energy was exhausted.
