Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1106: Chapter 1107: Even Grandpa Taught You

Although he had never considered asking Meng Xinian to give up Chiang Xiao, he himself had already recognized Chiang Xiao as his granddaughter-in-law, but last night, he still thought of several methods to prevent the possibilities that Meng Baoyuan had mentioned.

Some of those methods might wrong Chiang Xiao, and some might hurt her self-esteem.

He now felt truly ashamed.

”Little, Grandpa is really...” Old Meng patted the back of her hand, somewhat choked up, and didn’t know what to say for a moment.

Chiang Xiao didn’t quite understand his guilt at that moment, because she hadn’t heard the words Meng Baoyuan and Duan Qingqing had spoken.

But after thinking about it carefully, she could probably guess why.

It was because of the things Duan Qingqing had told her after listening to the phone call last night.

The Meng family wouldn’t let her marry in.

The Meng family probably said a lot to Old Meng.

In fact, her dedication to Old Meng and Meng Chaojun wasn’t for them; it was all for Meng Xinian.

As long as Old Meng didn’t cross her bottom line, she could let it go.

Moreover, Old Meng had still been caring about her these past few days.

”Grandpa, it’s okay.” She comforted him, then turned to Chen Baoshen and asked, ”Doctor Chen, besides Dendrobium, what other medicinal herbs are effective against tumors?”

”Yes, there are a few, but they need to be found wild in the deep mountains, preferably where the soil is fertile. Actually, their medicinal effects can be much better. Even a slight difference in Chinese medicine can lead to a huge divergence. The same herb grown in different places can vary from having mild medicinal effects to being immediately effective in banishing the disease.”

Chiang Xiao listened as he talked about several herbs beneficial for Meng Chaojun’s condition and took out a notebook, carefully jotting them down one by one.

Old Meng sat beside her, listening and watching her jotting down diligently, rapidly filling two dense pages.

Many of the herbs, he had never even heard of.

”...Some of these herbs are available at Renzhi Hall, but half of them haven’t been seen there in many years. I will send people to look for them immediately, and also scour Medicine Mountain.”

”We have a mountain in our village, rich in resources, with very fertile soil. I used to dig many herbs there; I could also go back and look.”

”That would be great,” said Chen Baoshen. ”Before we gather all the herbs, let Alliance Officer Meng drink your alternative to Dendrobium Nourishing Body Tea. That one’s quite good.”

”Yes.”

Chen Baoshen looked deeply at Chiang Xiao.

This young lady truly had a great spirit, and even he admired her magnanimity.

Having come to the Meng family, he could see how Meng Chaojun ignored her, how Duan Qingqing wished she could immediately drive her out, and even Meng Baoyuan looked at her with disdain and curiosity.

Who in the Meng family was kind to her?

Yet even so, when asked to contribute her Nourishing Body Tea, she agreed without hesitating.

He was a doctor, his nose and taste buds highly sensitive, and only he knew how precious Chiang Xiao’s Nourishing Body Tea was! Certainly, Chiang Xiao knew it too, but still, she agreed without hesitation to provide it to Meng Chaojun.

He got to his feet, appreciatively patting Chiang Xiao on the shoulder. ”Okay, I must be off now, still have to search for some herbs and write some prescriptions. Xiao Chiang, if you have time, come and visit Grandpa Chen, whatever you want to learn, Grandpa Chen will teach you.”

Old Meng, hearing him suddenly refer to himself as Grandpa Chen in conversation with Chiang Xiao, couldn’t help but be stunned.
