Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1137: Chapter 1138: Why Should I Save You?

That night, only the two of them slept well.

The next day, they both got up early and went out, had breakfast together, then Meng Xinian dropped her off at school and went to Renzhi Hall himself.

After leaving Renzhi Hall, he carried a large bag of medicine back to the Meng Family home.

Old Meng, Meng Chaojun, and Duan Qingqing were all anxiously waiting in the living room.

Old Meng occasionally walked to the staircase to look out.

Upon seeing Meng Xinian returning from outside, all three were stunned.

”Xinian,” Old Meng said, ”Little got up late today, she might be late for school, hurry and wake her up.”

Meng Xinian’s mouth curled slightly, ”She didn’t get up late; she has already gone to school.”

”What?” Meng Chaojun exclaimed, ”How could she go to school? She hasn’t made her medicine today...”

”The medicine is here, take it and boil it.” Meng Xinian placed the large bag of medicine he was carrying onto the table.

”What do you mean by this? Where did this medicine come from?”

”Renzhi Hall, personally prepared by Doctor Chen,” Meng Xinian explained. ”Although it’s still missing a few ingredients, Doctor Chen said that it can temporarily suppress the worsening of the condition. I will also call friends around to help find the medicine.”

Meng Chaojun’s hands were trembling.

He had slept terribly the night before, and his head had been hurting constantly.

He had barely made it to this morning, all for the cup of potion Lingzhi prepared for him every morning.

This potion was extremely effective; after drinking it, both his spirit and body felt noticeably better, and his head stopped hurting.

But now, he was suddenly told that Lingzhi went to school and there was no potion prepared by her today?

Meng Chaojun felt the headache intensify even more.

”Xinian,” Old Meng sighed heavily, ”Grandpa knows you have grievances! But no matter what, this is your dad! This is your home!”

”I’m well aware of that, which is why I stayed, went to get his medicine early in the morning, and agreed to ask friends for help,” Meng Xinian said indifferently. ”Otherwise, I would have already moved out with Little.”

”You!”

Meng Chaojun swayed.

”Chao Jun!” Duan Qingqing quickly supported him.

Seeing him like this, Old Meng also felt anxious, ”We can talk about these matters slowly, your dad can’t go a day without his medicine. Doctor Chen’s medicine is not as good as Little’s; first, take Little’s medicine, brew a cup for your dad, and then we’ll talk.”

”Little’s medicine, a cup being extremely expensive, they say a thousand dollars a cup, I believe people would buy it,” Meng Xinian said coldly. ”Grandpa, tell me, what right do we have to ask her to just give out her medicine and also personally prepare it? Meng Chaojun, have you ever calculated how much money’s worth of her medicine you drank before I returned?”

”A thousand dollars a cup? What joke is this! What medicine could be that expensive!” Duan Qingqing immediately objected.

”Whether it’s a joke or not, ask him,” Meng Xinian pointed at Meng Chaojun.

The patient himself knows whether the medicine is good or not.

Meng Chaojun indeed knew it.

The feeling in his body after each dose of medicine didn’t lie.

Old Meng knew it too.

Hundred-Year Ginseng, Hundred-Year Ganoderma, Dendrobium, and other rare medicinal ingredients, even Chen Baoshen had confirmed the value of the medicine; how could it possibly be cheap?

”What right do you all have to demand it from her without giving anything in return?” Meng Xinian asked once more.

Old Meng’s lips moved, but no words came out.

Meng Chaojun wanted to say, isn’t she your fiancée? Aren’t you my son?

But before he could speak, he remembered how he had acquiesced to Zhang Junyuan pursuing her.

If she truly became Zhang Junyuan’s wife, what relation would she have with him? Why should she save him?
