Wu Pen's work is perfect, Perfect Son-in-law Chapter 15: Drinking Ginseng Water

  ……

  "Ah!" Cheng Erde hastily replied.

  He immediately stepped forward, blocking the rich second generation's path, glaring at him with a cold voice and saying: "Leave!"

  The rich second generation took two steps back, "Qingniang, I'm here to plead for your family!" He saw that things were irretrievable and hastily sought help from Zhong Qing.

  The feelings of the rich second generation are hanging on Zhong Qing, which makes Zhong Qing have to stand up and say to Cheng Yaojin: "Cheng officer, please give me a little face, don't make things difficult for the young master."

  Zhong Jia just saved Cheng Mu, now Zhong Qing is pleading, it should be very useful! The rich second generation looked at Cheng Yuanwai with anticipation.

  "Niangwa isn't the wife of a benefactor, is she? How can she speak to outsiders, and just now she was even speaking ill of her benefactor. Do you have any sense of wifely virtue?" Mother Cheng said venomously.

  How could you say such a poisonous thing to a woman? Zhong Qing's body trembled with pain after hearing it, but she couldn't think of anything to retort.

  Cheng Yaojin said: "Zhong Niangzi, what our Cheng family does is our own business and has nothing to do with you."

  He turned and asked the rich second generation: "Aren't you leaving yet?"

  Things have come to this, the rich second generation had to leave. However, before leaving, he still said a few polite words: "Fu Mou is ignorant and just said something wrong. I hope Mr. Cheng and Mrs. Cheng will not be angry. Fu Mou has something to do and leaves first!"

  He took two steps back, turned around and walked away, his eyes lingering venomously on Ao Wu's body.

  You really think a glare can kill someone? Once I found out you were the rich second-generation buyer behind the mountain bandits, I didn't plan on letting you have an easy time. This is just the appetizer!

  Cheng Erde sent away the disgusting stirrer, Cheng Yaoguang burst out laughing and said: "Just now let Ao brother suffer a bit of injustice, actually I've always known that Ao brother's medical skills are amazing, never doubted you!"

  He turned his head and looked at Cheng Mu, asking: "Brother Ao said that the headache is not caused by a fall, is there any way to cure it?"

  The reason for the headache is that there is still residual blood in Mrs. Cheng's skull, and the broken blood vessels were sealed by Ao Wuna's needle, but the residual blood cannot be cleared. Ao Wuna needs to cultivate spiritual energy to input it into Mrs. Cheng's brain, dissolve the residual blood, and thoroughly cure her.

  However, he couldn't say anything about the spiritual energy to them, so Ao Wu continued to pretend. He put on a bashful expression as if he was not confident in his studies and said: "Officer Cheng, this method can't be revealed, but give me half a month, and I'll definitely help Madam recover within half a month. But don't worry, within half a month, Madam will rest well and nothing will happen to her!"

  Cheng Yaojin listened and felt at ease. He stretched out his hand to grasp Ao Wu's hand, saying: "Brother Ao, I'll trouble you again in half a month!"

  He turned his head and asked Mother Cheng on the bed: "Mother, Ao brother is a capable and generous person. I am delighted to ask him to be sworn brothers with me. Ao brother's name is Wu, word Youbin, from Liangfu County. Do you agree, mother?"

  Cheng Mu's face lit up with a brilliant smile and she replied, "Good, good! If the benefactor is willing, that would be our family's great joy!"

  She looked at Ao Wu with Cheng Yaojin, her eyes showing a look of expectation.

  Historical figure Cheng Yaojin sought to become sworn brothers with him, and after half a day of interaction, Cheng Yaojin was found to be filial, clear in his likes and dislikes, and generous in his conduct, making Ao Wu feel that he was worth befriending. So without another word, he agreed: "Alright, since Officer Cheng is so enthusiastic, I'll accept!"

  "Haha......" Both Cheng Yaojin and his mother laughed happily.

  "I'm older than you by a few years, I should be ashamed to call myself your brother!" A pair of large hands grasped Ou Wu's hand tightly.

  "Long time no see, brother!"

  Turning around to face Mother Cheng on the bed, "I've seen Stepmother!"

  Cheng Yaojin and his mother were overjoyed, their faces beaming with smiles!

  "Alright, alright, I've got another good son!" Mother Cheng said to Cheng Yaojin, "From now on, you must treat Ah Wu like a close brother. His affairs are your affairs. If you don't treat Ah Wu well, I'll be the one to ask you about it!"

  "Yes, mother!" Cheng Yaojin replied, patting his chest.

  Cheng Mu continued to instruct: "Such a big happy event must be handled properly, tomorrow please invite all the uncles in the clan and also invite the villagers to come and witness it. You and Ah Wu will worship heaven and earth and become sworn brothers. The offerings must not be lacking!"

  "Alright!" Cheng Yaojin readily agreed.

  Listening to this enthusiastic conversation between mother and son is really too much!

  Cheng Yaojin looked at Zhong Shenyi and said: "Divine Doctor, I didn't expect that we would become relatives now, haha!"

  "I'm delighted for Ah Wu and Cheng Yuanwai!" Zhong Shenyi congratulated with a smile.

  "It's all right!" Cheng Yaojin waved his hand, "We're family now, I'm not called the divine doctor anymore, call me uncle, and you can just call me Chaojin!"

  Zhong Shenyi smiled and nodded.

  Although Zhong Qing was cold and aloof, she would not be lacking in courtesy. She curtsied to Cheng Yaojin with a smile and called out "Big Brother". This made Cheng Yaojin extremely happy.

  "Congratulations, Little Divine Doctor, Cheng Yuanwai!" Xu Sanmao congratulated.

  "Ah Wu is our family's lucky star!" Cheng Yaojin grasped Ah Wu's hand, "If he hadn't come, I don't know if my mother's illness could have been cured!"

  "Now my brother and I are brothers, so it's only right that we treat our adoptive mother's illness. Don't say thanks again, brother! And let's just say Father-in-law cured the disease, don't tell outsiders it was me!" Ao Wu said, looking at them.

  As soon as this was said, everyone understood that it was the old Taoist who had taught him medicine and did not allow his medical skills to be revealed.

  They exchanged a knowing glance and nodded: "Alright, I understand your difficulties, brother (sister-in-law), I'll listen to you!"

  Qiao Wu gave them a thumbs up in his heart, you guys are too smart!

  After discussing things, everyone will leave the room and let Madame Cheng rest well. Cheng Yaojin pointed to the medicine bowl and asked: "Is this a nourishing ginseng supplement?"

  The Liao Can Tang water was still warm, and Zhong Qing said: "Madam is awake now, can she drink it?"

  The medicine has the effect of exciting the heart and activating blood circulation. If it is given to Cheng Mu, it will make her blood flow too rapidly. If she accidentally breaks through the sealed acupoint, Cheng Mu's life will be over. Ao Wu currently has no cultivation base and can only temporarily seal the blood vessels with his medical skills from his previous life, but it's not secure. It's better to be safe than sorry!

  "Can't drink!" Ao Wu found a reason, "After Da Xu, it's not suitable for heavy nourishment."

  Zhong Qing's mouth twitched involuntarily, why did this person always have to oppose her?

  Jing Ke at this time was completely obedient to Ao Wushuang. He said he couldn't drink, and so he wouldn't give his mother any to drink.

  "What about this medicine?" Cheng Yaojin asked.

  Indeed, this Liaozi is actually listed by Zhong Hua as the family's treasure, containing spiritual energy and extraordinary medicinal properties. If it cools down like this, it would be a waste.

  After Qiao Wu crossed over, his body was very weak. This body was originally of poor quality, and now there is a bowl of nourishing medicine in front of him, how could he miss it!

  No one is your other half, no one will know what you think if you don't say it out. So just speak out boldly if you want to drink.

  Kao Wu is such a thick-skinned person, he said to Zhong Shenyi: "Father-in-law, I went for a walk on the mountain this morning and encountered mountain bandits. They beat me up and I got a little hurt. If no one else wants to drink this medicine, then let me have it."

  Everyone's face turned pale with shock when they heard that Ao Wu was beaten by the mountain bandits, and then they became worried.

  "Where were you hit? Let me take a look, no wonder your face looked terrible earlier. Why did you run up the mountain?"

  As he spoke, he reached out and pulled on Ao Wu's clothes.

  "The air is good on the mountain, go for a walk, didn't expect there are bandits..."

  At this time, he was seen by Zhong Shenyi with his clothes on inside out, and the bloodstains on his clothes were also seen. "Bleeding?"

  He was even more shocked.

  "The mountain bandits, the big brother beat the little brother, and the blood splattered onto my clothes. My back was hit twice, and my neck was also strangled." He raised his neck, showing the scars left by hanging, which had turned from blue to black. "The mountain bandits set fire to cook food and burned down the cave, so I escaped!"

  Everyone saw it at once and gasped in unison. The neck was strangled too tightly, enough to choke someone to death.

  Zhong Shenyi and Xu Sanmao, the two doctors, hastily came forward to examine him. Cheng Yaojin was furious: "Which scoundrel dared to grab my second brother? Just watch me not pull them out and flay their tendons!"

  After diagnosis, it was found that the neck was only injured and the bones were fine, which put me at ease.

  After letting out a sigh of relief, Zhong Shen Yi said: "Wait a moment, I'll prescribe another dose of medicine for you later. For now, drink this ginseng water to nourish your body!"

  After telling a pack of lies, he finally got the water, Ao Wu clasped his fists in gratitude: "Thank you, father-in-law!"

  "A family of one, what's the politeness for?" Zhong Shen Yi personally handed him the medicine bowl.

  Kao Wu swallowed it in one gulp, the medicine was black and bitter, but his eyebrows didn't even furrow.

  "Uncle Zhong, this ginseng was originally sent to our family for my mother's illness, but now I'm buying it back to nourish my second brother!" Cheng Yaojin stepped forward and requested, looking at Ao Wu's physique with pity, "Look at my second brother, he's so tall and thin, as his older brother, it pains me to see him like this. This ginseng should be used to supplement his body!"

  "We're family, what's the talk of buying or not? Chī Jīn said so, but I was careless. This Liaoren will be used to nourish Ah Wu's body!" Zhōng Shén Yī said magnanimously.

  "Alright, I, as an elder brother, thank Uncle Zhong!" Cheng Yaojin was overjoyed, just like when he had eaten the best ginseng.

  Zhong Qing couldn't help but widen her eyes, with a huge psychological gap. The precious ginseng that the Zhong family had been treasuring, which was always used to save people in critical condition, was now all given to Ao Wu to eat, and yet Ao Wu was perfectly healthy when he went out this morning. Wasn't it a waste for a healthy person to eat their most precious ginseng?

  She dared to be angry but didn't dare speak out, yet her heart was still lingering on Ao Wu.

  Cheng Yaojin took a few people out of his mother's room. At this time, the sky was already late, and Cheng Yaojin wanted to arrange rooms for Ao Wu and the others.

  Xu Sanmao bid farewell, and Cheng Yaojin invited him to come over tomorrow to witness his sworn brotherhood with Ao Wu and join in the wine feast.

  Xu San Mao also has a sense of justice and readily agreed.
