Reborn before the famine, kicking away the scumbag's family and living a carefree life.

After taking his pulse, Old Master Hong nodded.

"I'll prescribe five more doses of medicine for you to take home. After you finish the five doses, go to the hospital for a checkup. If everything is normal, then you're fine."

Su Jinru noticed that Dingxiang was in much better spirits than when she first arrived.

She said to Dingxiang, "Sister-in-law, do you believe me now? When I said Old Hong could cure you, he really could. Come stay at my house! It will be convenient for me to take care of you, brew medicine for you, and make whatever you want to eat."

Dingxiang came to the capital for treatment, not with much hope, but her family persuaded her to give it a try. She couldn't refuse, so she reluctantly agreed to come, hoping it would be a last resort, and also to take a look at the capital.

Unexpectedly, after taking three doses of medicine, the pain subsided, she regained her strength, and was able to eat and sleep well. She felt much more relaxed.

These past few days, Su Jinru has been running around every day brewing and delivering medicine to her. Dingxiang felt bad about it, so she agreed to Su Jinru's suggestion to stay at their house.

Su Jinru cleaned up two rooms in the west wing of the house, one for Da Long and the other for Ding Xiang and Daya, so that Daya could live with her mother-in-law and it would be convenient for Daya to take care of her mother-in-law.

Looking at the flowers and vegetables inside the courtyard.

Dingxiang said, "Aru! No matter where you go, you can grow such good vegetables. Just by that, I know you are living a good life."

Su Jinru: "Yes! Vegetables that we grow ourselves taste fresh."

Dingxiang lived in Su Jinru's house, drinking Chinese medicine and eating the meals Su Jinru made for her with spiritual water. Her health visibly improved day by day.

After recovering from her illness, Dingxiang regained her cheerful and talkative personality.

The two sat in the courtyard, and Dingxiang mentioned Qi Zhengyang and Du Mei to Su Jinru.

She said that Qi Zhengyang often came to ask her about An Xin and An Ran.

“I know why he wanted to know about the two children. It’s because the two children he had with Du Mei were really good-for-nothings. His eldest daughter ran away with a man from another place when she was sixteen and never came back.”

"His son used to be beaten by him every day when he was little. Now that he's old and his son is all grown up, he's still beaten by his son every day. He's having a miserable time!"

"He went to your parents to ask about Anxin and Anran, but they chased him out with a broom. He didn't dare go back, so he came to ask me. I said how could I possibly know about Anxin and Anran? He said that Daya is Anxin and Anran's cousin, so she must know about them. Later, Dalong scolded him, and that's when he finally shut up."

Dingxiang brought up Du Mei again.

"Du Mei is dead. She was beaten to death, but we don't know who did it."

Since Lai Gou died, Du Mei has been quiet and well-behaved for a few years.

Later, perhaps she was too lonely, so she went to find her two daughters from her previous marriage, but they completely ignored her.

Her two children with Qi Zhengyang don't recognize her either.

Later, she became self-destructive, partly to get revenge on the women in the village who laughed at her. She had affairs with many old men in the village, and the women in the village hated and despised her.

At the beginning of this year, Du Mei died in her home. She was hit on the head with a stick and her head was smashed.

When she was discovered, she had been dead for a long time and was already rotting and stinking.

The police suspect her ex-husband, Cheng Xiao, is responsible for the murder, though they don't know who did it.

Because shortly before Du Mei died, she said that the two daughters she had with Cheng Xiao were not Cheng Xiao's.

Whether this is true or not is unknown, but Cheng Xiao was quite angry when he heard it and said he was going to kill Du Mei, but his later wife persuaded him to stop.

Later, when the police investigated Du Mei's cause of death, they found no evidence that Cheng Xiao was responsible, so they released him.

Some say she might have been killed by a woman who hated Du Mei for seducing her man.

However, there were many men who had affairs with Du Mei. When Du Mei died, many women were happy, and the men dared not say a word, so there was no way to investigate.

Some people say that she might have been killed by one of the men who was having an affair with Du Mei.

Because Du Mei's affairs with men came with conditions: they would give her money to spend, and if they stopped giving her money or ran out of money, she would ignore them. As a result, she broke up several families.

Anyway, this case is difficult to solve, so it has become an unsolved case.

Over the past five days, Dingxiang has been telling Su Jinru a lot about the people in the village.

Seeing Dingxiang go from being barely breathing and struggling to speak when she first arrived to now being eloquent and talkative, Su Jinru felt that the healthy and talkative Dingxiang from before had returned.

After taking the five doses of medicine, Su Jinru took Dingxiang to the hospital for a checkup and was surprised to find that her stomach, which had been riddled with holes and in terrible condition, had actually healed.

Looking at the two before-and-after photos, the doctor exclaimed in disbelief, "How is this possible? Is this really a person's stomach? How could a stomach that was so damaged before be cured? Where was it treated?"

"An old Chinese medicine doctor, everyone calls him Old Hong."

"Give me his address, and I'll visit him."

Another colleague said, "I've heard of this Old Hong. He's a famous doctor in Beijing. I heard he's cured many people who were given a death sentence by hospitals."

Ding Xiang: "I was the one the hospital pronounced dead, but luckily I met Old Hong."

Dingxiang has recovered and is in a better mood. She said that since she has come all this way, she should take a good look around the capital before going back!

So Yuan Wenjie drove them around to several tourist attractions in Beijing. Dingxiang reluctantly left because Daya and Dalong had to go back to work.

Before leaving, she held Su Jinru's hand.

"Aru, without you, I would be dead."

"Sister-in-law, you were never meant to die."

“Aru, you have such a kind heart, that’s why you’re doing well. Heaven has eyes.”

"Aren't you the same? We're both doing well, and better days are ahead for us!"

Dingxiang laughed heartily, "Now that I've passed this life-or-death ordeal, I think I can live to be a hundred years old."

"That means there are still more than forty years to go, and many good days ahead!"

"Haha, let's all live to be a hundred years old and become old hags."

……

An Xin's career is going better and better, and she has switched from radio to television.

Especially in the 1990s, with the popularization of television sets and the increasing viewership of television stations, An Xin had more and more opportunities to be exposed.

When someone told Qi Zhengyang that he had seen An Xin on TV, Qi Zhengyang gritted his teeth and used all the money he had to buy a second-hand TV set, and he really saw An Xin on TV.

Watching An Xin on TV, smiling radiantly and speaking eloquently, Qi Zhengyang was so moved that tears streamed down his face.

When he saw the subtitles saying that the host was Yuan Anxin, Qi Zhengyang couldn't believe his eyes. He had been waiting in front of the TV every day to watch Anxin's shows. The third time he saw the subtitles saying Yuan Anxin instead of Qi Anxin, Qi Zhengyang completely broke down and burst into tears.
