Landlady who likes to hoard land

Perhaps it's because of drinking the spiritual spring water, or perhaps it's because of practicing Tai Chi, but Wang Chengyu is in much better spirits than before.

She lost very little hair when she washed it yesterday. You know, she used to lose a handful every time she washed her hair, and she was always worried that she would go bald one day.

The freckles on my face have faded a bit; a light application of sunscreen is enough to cover them.

She can now perform a complete set of Tai Chi moves smoothly.

He can only execute the moves; he hasn't developed his internal energy yet.

Tomorrow is the day for Wang's mother's chemotherapy. This time it's Wang Chengyu's turn to accompany her. Today, after get off work, he asked the store manager and Zhao Jing for a week's leave in advance.

The next morning, after breakfast, I rode my electric bike to the hospital and went to the fourth floor, where I happened to run into Wang Chenggong leading his mother to her ward. I quickly greeted them.

"Mom~ Brother~ What a coincidence!"

"Yes, I just finished the hospital admission procedures and had a few more tests done," Wang Chenggong replied.

When Wang's mother saw her eldest daughter, she felt a pang of heartache.

"Why are you here so early? It's alright if you're early, you could have just tidied up at home."

"There's nothing to tidy up, Mom. You look great!"

Although Wang's mother had experienced a ruptured tumor, she recovered quite well thanks to the nourishment of the spiritual spring water. Although her complexion was still somewhat pale, it no longer had a dull, dark gray tinge.

"Doing absolutely no work, just eating and sleeping, how could it not be good?"

The three of them talked as they walked toward the ward, where they were assigned bed number seventy.

Bed number 70 is located near the balcony, with ample space on both sides.

Wang Chengyu and Wang Chenggong helped tidy up the bed and put the things away in the closet.

"Brother, you go back. I'll be fine here."

"Okay, Mom, I'll head back now. If anything comes up, have Chengyu call me. Chengyu, I'm going back now."

"Go back quickly."

Knowing he was busy, Wang's mother urged him to go home quickly.

After Wang Chenggong left, Wang Chengyu helped his mother lie down on the hospital bed.

"Mom, have you been taking the vitamin pills I bought for you every day?"

Since Wang Chengyu couldn't give his mother the spiritual spring water every day, he came up with a solution: he asked Yaoyao to mix the spiritual spring water with peach powder to make a batch of small candies that resembled vitamin tablets.

The first batch was a gift from Yao Yao. After finishing the first batch, Yao Yao was afraid that Wang Chengyu would ask her to do more in the future, which would interfere with her reading of novels.

He picked out a book about fabric from an unknown era from the library in the space and threw it to Wang Chengyu.

"Learn from the instructions yourself, and then you can do whatever you want on your own. Don't let it interfere with my studies."

Wang Chengyu muttered to himself, "What's the point of studying? All they do is read those domineering CEO novels. Are they learning how to date?"

The problem is, even if you learn it, it's useless!

Upon taking the book, I saw that the title was "A Collection of Traditional Chinese Medicine Prescriptions." Opening the book, I found a series of prescriptions inside.

Without exception, all the recipes require the addition of spiritual spring water for brewing.

From this perspective, she's the only one who can use this book.

Ordinary people don't have access to spiritual spring water!

There is a separate pharmacy in the courtyard of the space. Yao Yao taught Wang Chengyu how to make the candies.

From that day on, in addition to practicing Tai Chi in his space, Wang Chengyu would also learn to make traditional Chinese medicine in the pharmacy.

Anyway, there are plenty of medicinal herbs in the space, enough for her to practice.

To date, she has mastered three basic Chinese patent medicines for health maintenance.

I went to the pharmacy and bought several bottles of brand-name vitamin tablets, replacing the tablets with small candies.

Give one bottle each to Wang's parents, Wang Chengqing, and Wang Chenghua; give two bottles to Wang Chenggong; and have him give one bottle to his sister-in-law, Tian Jing.

She told them that she bought these wholesale from an acquaintance, and that the more they bought, the cheaper it would be. She also told them to eat them well.

She also specially made candies for children, using vitamins instead of sugar. She added less spring water to the children's candies, fearing the children might mistake them for candy and eat several a day, potentially causing adverse reactions.

One bottle for each child.

She specifically instructed Wang Chenghua that only she and her child could eat it.

Wang Chengyu was afraid that Wang Chenghua would give her scumbag husband food. According to the timeline she saw on the social media, the scumbag would probably cheat on her in about three years. She wanted to use this time to brainwash Wang Chenghua.

“I eat it every day, and your dad eats it every day too. Your dad says his high blood pressure isn't high anymore. Could it be that your dad's high blood pressure is caused by not eating enough vegetables and being deficient in vitamins?”

Wang's mother was puzzled, not only because Wang's father felt good after eating it.

She felt great after eating, and her body felt more energetic than before. She doesn't even feel like a patient anymore.

"Maybe it is. Don't worry, eat as much as you want. Let me know when you're almost done, and I'll find someone to buy it cheaper."

"You don't earn any money, so how can we let you spend all the money? We'll buy it ourselves from now on."

Wang's mother was unaware that her eldest daughter had already found a job, and even if she did, she didn't want her daughter to spend money.

"It's much cheaper to buy it from someone else than from a pharmacy. You absolutely shouldn't buy it yourself. It's just a few bottles of vitamins, very cheap, it won't cost much. Don't worry about it."

"Bed 70, you're recovering well, all your tests are normal. Don't go too far, you'll get your injection soon."

The round-faced nurse came in and said to Wang Chengyu.

"Okay, got it"

The nurse quickly came over and started administering chemotherapy medication to Wang's mother.

This was the most painful time for Wang's mother. The worst part of chemotherapy was the side effects: vomiting, drowsiness, and body aches. Wang's mother chose to sleep, as the pain lessened when she was asleep.

Wang Chengyu sat on the side of the bed. There were three beds in the ward. The bed closest to the door was occupied by an elderly woman in her sixties. She was leaning against the bed, her eyes closed in a daze. A man who looked like her son was sitting against the wall, playing on his phone.

The middle bed is currently unoccupied, but I believe it will be occupied soon. I've never seen an empty bed in this department's wards; extra beds are often added in the hallways.

Wang Chengyu never realized in his daily life that so many people would get cancer. It was only after coming to the hospital that he realized how many people had cancer. The entire building was filled with cancer patients from various departments.

Just then, a woman who looked to be about the same age as her led a little girl of about seven or eight years old toward the middle bed.

The girl had her hair tied in a high ponytail, big eyes, and a calm demeanor, lacking the vitality expected of her age. The woman, on the other hand, had a slightly melancholy expression and was dressed simply and cleanly.

"So young to have cancer? And the child is so young. It's so pitiful," Wang Chengyu thought.

"Youyou, wait here for Mommy. Mommy is going out for a bit, so don't wander off," the woman instructed the girl named Youyou.

"Mom, you go ahead, I won't run around."

The woman was still worried. She glanced at the two hospital beds on either side, and perhaps thinking that Wang Chengyu was easy to talk to, she spoke to her with a pleading expression.

"Hello, could you please watch over my daughter for me? I'm going downstairs to pay the bill and will be right back. Just make sure she doesn't leave this ward."

Everyone here is in a similar situation, so let's help each other out if we can. Wang Chengyu nodded.

"Don't worry, I'll watch over her."

"Thank you, Youyou. Stay here and be a good girl. Mommy is going to pay the bill and will be right back!"

The woman thanked her quickly, then told her daughter not to wander off, and hurried off to pay the bill.
