Useless Medicine

Pei Lijun and Xiao Yu looked at each other and read the same message in each other's eyes.

They got up almost at the same time and walked out of the house.

Mrs. Gu had a small stove in the yard and seemed to be boiling medicine. As she threw things that looked like herbs into it, she said,""It's okay, it's okay. This is an old problem of mine. I used to boil this water to drink…"

Xia Xin insisted." Mom, I'll take you to the clinic. These things won't cure you. Don't eat something bad and make your condition worse.""

Mrs. Gu was a little unhappy." Why can't it be cured? I've been taking it for more than ten years. Haven't I always been fine?""

Pei Lijun quickly walked over to hold Xia Xin back and said with a smile,""Aiya, I know that you're worried about Auntie's health, but didn't Auntie Gu say so? She had been taking this prescription for more than ten years. It must be effective. If it didn't work, why did Auntie Gu still take it?"
