The widow becomes a fairy, and the time-traveling girl counterattacks and becomes the queen

Hearing what Li said, Mr. Wu immediately suppressed his anger, slowly sat back in his chair, looked at Wang Xinyao, and a hint of gratitude flashed in his eyes.

"Miss Wang, I am really grateful to you today. If you hadn't reminded me in time, I would have to raise children for others for the rest of my life, and I might even lose my entire fortune and life. What will happen to my son Mingjun after I die?" Mr. Wu said with a wry smile, his tone full of bitterness and helplessness.

Wang Xinyao felt a little sympathetic towards Mr. Wu's plight. She sighed softly and consoled him, "Mr. Wu, there's one more thing you need to be mindful of. In the future, try not to let Mr. Wu eat a diet of tuna, goose meat, and eggs for a long time."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Wu was stunned and looked puzzled. He obviously didn't understand why Wang Xinyao suddenly brought up this matter.

Seeing his bewildered expression, Wang Xinyao explained, "Eating goose meat and eggs together can damage your vitality. While tuna can nourish the brain, consuming it in excess over a long period of time can lead to excessive mercury levels in the body, which can affect the nervous system and cause symptoms like slowed reaction times."

Wu Yuanwai was completely confused. He didn't understand words like mercury content and nervous system. But he did understand the meaning of words like "damaging vitality" and "sluggish reaction".

"Oh my God, what have we done? I remember Jun'er was normal when he was six years old. I don't know when his brain started to work worse and worse. Third Aunt said that goose meat is very good for nourishing the body, and eggs are also very good for nourishing the brain. As for tuna, Mingjie said it is particularly good for nourishing the brain. Jun'er, my poor Jun'er, Jun'er has been eating these three things for 12 years!" Li couldn't accept it and cried softly.

At this moment, Mr. Wu's face, once sturdy and handsome, had turned a sullen shade of blue, as if shrouded in a thick haze. He gritted his teeth, suppressing his anger and anxiety, and asked in a voice so low it was almost hoarse, "Miss Wang, I wonder if my poor child, Mingjun, can be saved from his dementia?"

Wang Xinyao, standing nearby, frowned slightly, seemingly lost in thought. She sighed softly and spoke slowly, "When I handed him the chestnuts just now, I took the opportunity to check his pulse. Young Master Wu's dementia has been going on for a long time. A complete recovery will likely be quite difficult!"

At these words, Mrs. Li, who was standing beside Mr. Wu, was stunned, her eyes, once filled with hope, instantly dimmed. However, after a moment, Mrs. Li regained her composure, looked anxiously at Wang Xinyao, and asked in a trembling voice, "Miss Wang, when you say it's difficult, does that mean it's not completely hopeless?"

Wang Xinyao looked into Li's eyes, filled with anticipation, and her heart softened. After a moment's hesitation, she softly consoled her, "Madam, don't worry. While the chances of your son regaining normal intelligence are slim, it's not impossible. It's just... it will take a considerable amount of time and an extraordinary amount of patience."

Upon hearing this, both Mr. Wu and Mrs. Li's eyes flashed with unconcealed joy. Mrs. Li was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes. She nodded repeatedly and said, "As long as there is a glimmer of hope, even the slightest bit, my wife and I will never give up! I beg Miss Wang to lend a hand and save my poor child!"

"It's not that there's no chance of recovery, but the treatment process will be very long." Wang Xinyao's tone suddenly became serious. "I can prescribe a prescription first, and let him recuperate for a while and observe. Then, combined with my acupuncture, there might be a glimmer of hope, but the prerequisite is that we must find some suitable herbs to replenish vitality. As for snacks, you must prepare walnuts for Master Wu every day..."

"Walnut? What is a walnut?" Upon hearing this, Wu Yuanwai's eyes widened, his face filled with confusion and eager curiosity. He then waved his hand and said firmly, "Don't worry, Miss Wang. No matter what kind of precious medicinal herb this walnut is, no matter how expensive it is, as long as it can cure your child's illness, I will do everything I can to obtain it! Even if it means spending all my money, I will do it!"

Wang Xinyao, standing nearby, was taken aback. She was secretly surprised. Could it be that people in this era didn't even know about walnuts? This was truly beyond her expectations.

However, she quickly recovered and said to Mr. Wu with a smile, "Don't worry, Mr. Wu. Although these walnuts are not rare, they do take some effort to find. As for the Ganoderma lucidum, it's also not easy to find. But don't worry, leave the search for walnuts and Ganoderma lucidum to me. It's just that the Ganoderma lucidum is very expensive."

Wang Xinyao thought to herself that Ganoderma lucidum was readily available, and as for walnuts, probably no one knew about them. Xiejia Village had nothing else but many mountains and trees, so she believed that she would be able to find a walnut tree.

"Don't worry, Miss Wang, we are willing to buy it no matter how expensive it is!" Li emphasized again!

"Mr. Wu, please get the medicine according to this prescription. Take it once in the morning and evening every day, and remember not to interrupt. In addition, you must pay special attention to your daily diet and be sure to ensure a reasonable combination of nutrition and balanced intake. Only in this way can it help your son's physical recovery." Wang Xinyao handed over the written prescription.

With trembling hands, Mr. Wu took the prescription, written on rough, yellowed paper. He carefully folded it and put it in his pocket, close to his heart, fearing it might be lost. Then, he looked up at Wang Xinyao, his eyes filled with gratitude. "Thank you, Miss Wang! If my son ever regains his sanity and becomes his former bright and clever self, I will thank you generously! I will remember this kindness forever!"

When leaving the Wu family, Wang Xinyao gave all the remaining chestnuts to Wu Mingjun, which made the big fool very happy. Wu Mingjun was so happy that he gave Wang Xinyao a silver note worth one thousand taels before the treatment was finished.

Tomorrow was the day the family would move into their new home. After leaving Mr. Wu's house, Wang Xinyao hurried to the market to buy a lot of things. After all, the weather was getting colder, so warm things were essential, especially soft and thick bedding and clothes that could withstand the cold. They needed to prepare a lot.

They'd almost finished their shopping, and today was the day to collect their payment at Qingnianlou. They'd agreed to settle every ten days. Wang Xinyao, figuring she had no other important matters to attend to that afternoon, strolled over to the bustling Qingnianlou. Sure enough, the place was bustling with people, overflowing with guests, and business was booming like never before!

Wang Xinyao walked into the main door of Qingnianlou and happened to run into Shopkeeper Chen. With his sharp eyes, Shopkeeper Chen spotted her immediately and rushed forward to greet her warmly, ushering her into the back hall to sit down.

Shopkeeper Chen had a smile on his face and said kindly, "I'm honored to see you, Miss Wang. The payment for the goods has been prepared. Please take a look and count them." After that, he respectfully handed over a heavy, bulging purse.

Wang Xinyao smiled and lightly extended her hand to take the heavy purse. "Thank you, Manager Chen."

Shopkeeper Chen waved his hands quickly, a smile plastered across his face as he said repeatedly, "No, no, this is as it should be. It's as it should be. If it weren't for Miss Wang providing you with your unique dishes and sweet and delicious chestnuts, our restaurant wouldn't be as bustling and prosperous as it is today."

As the two were talking, a figure slowly approached. It was Chen Liangxian, no longer his sickly appearance. Instead, he was full of energy and radiant, the image of a healthy and handsome young man. He stared at Wang Xinyao with burning eyes and said excitedly, "Miss Wang, I've been waiting for you to come today! I've been looking forward to seeing you again for a long time."

"How are you, Mr. Chen!" Wang Xinyao bowed. After all, the other party was her important client, so the necessary etiquette was indispensable!

Chen Liangxian continued, "Miss Wang, the response to our mushrooms and chestnuts has been very positive. The owners of my other restaurants have been asking when we can supply them in bulk. I wonder when we can start production?"

"The mushroom base is already built. I'll start preparing after I move into my new home tomorrow. But as for dried mushrooms, I'm afraid it will take some time, maybe next year at the earliest." Wang Xinyao thought for a moment and replied, "As for chestnuts, I'll do my best to arrange for a larger daily supply!"

Chen Liangxian nodded slightly in agreement. "That's great. I hope Miss Wang can start work soon, and I can give an explanation to the other shopkeepers."

Afterward, the two discussed some ideas and suggestions for dishes. Wang Xinyao was surprised to find that Chen Liangxian had such unique insights and ideas about food, worthy of being a businessman. It seemed that children who grew up in wealthy families were indeed unique.

In reality, Chen Liangxian seems more passionate about martial arts than business, longing to ride a warhorse like his father. However, since his mother's death, he has also been poisoned. If he hadn't met Wang Xinyao, he probably wouldn't have survived this year!

After bidding farewell to Qingnian Tower, Wang Xinyao felt elated. Today had been quite fruitful, with two significant gains. This brought them one step closer to building a paper mill!
