Hearing that his wife wasn't angry, Qin Xiang'an was quite happy. If it were anyone else who knew he had rejected such a good opportunity, they would definitely be disappointed in him and think he was stupid.

But to avoid his wife overthinking, he still offered an explanation.

"Actually, I didn't agree because I didn't want to rely on other people's connections to get transferred. Even if I did get transferred, there would still be many people who would be dissatisfied, both openly and secretly."

"I want to transfer there based on my own merit, so that no one will use this against me in the future."

"Honey, don't worry, I will definitely work hard and try to get transferred to Beijing in the next few years so that you and our son can live a better life. It's just that I'm afraid you'll have to suffer for the next few years."

"What are you complaining about? You do everything for the family. Even the women in the compound envy me."

"Do what you want. Whether you get transferred to Beijing or not, as long as you're good to me, I'll be good to you too."

"Thank you, wife."

"Alright, go to sleep. Don't you have to get up early tomorrow?"

She was tired too; after what happened today, she was exhausted.

"Honey, it's still early, let's not waste time."

As Qin Xiang'an spoke, he leaned in and pressed against Shen Jingyue. Before she could speak, her mouth was covered by his...

The next day, Qin Xiang'an got up early to prepare breakfast, only to find his wife still asleep.

She picked up her son, changed his diaper, fed him formula, burped him, and then let him lie on the kang (heated brick bed) to play. He would fall asleep on his own when he got tired.

After finishing his breakfast, he left his wife's portion in the pot before going to work.

Shen Jingyue slept until she naturally woke up. As soon as she opened her eyes, she was met with her son's soft little face.

When Xiao Beichen saw that his mother was awake, he happily thrashed his little hands and feet, looking incredibly happy.

"Oh my, my little darling, you're such a good girl."

Shen Jingyue took the child directly.

I kissed his little face a few times.

It made little Xiao Beichen laugh heartily.

Shen Jingyue teased him for a while, and seeing that his diaper wasn't wet, she carried him out to pee, which would save her from washing one diaper.

After she finished urinating, she put the child in the stroller.

Then I started brushing my teeth and washing my face.

After breakfast, she planned to take her son into the space to do her skincare products.

She remembered what Sister Wang had said earlier.

I was thinking of buying it privately; as long as it wasn't much, it would be fine.

She wanted to do more and check out the black market in the county. There were quite a few people in the county who earned wages, especially women, and any woman who loved beauty would be tempted.

You'll make a bigger profit if you buy there.

However, the investigation is strict now, so I still need to inquire about the situation in the county before making a decision.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be good to implicate Qin Xiang'an.

If that doesn't work, then I'll just make a big deal out of it and wait until the policies are more relaxed before making any further moves.

Anyway, with Qin Xiang'an's allowance and salary, life is still pretty good.

But just as she was about to close the door and enter the space, Xie Yun and Xiao Yuchen arrived outside.

"Auntie, Third Brother, what brings you here? Please come in and sit down."

"We've come to see you and the child. How are you? Have you had breakfast yet?"

She and her third brother had originally planned to come, but they ran into Qin Xiang'an on the way.

When Qin Xiang'an learned that they were going to see his wife and child, he told them that his wife stayed up late.

Xie Yun realized she could only come later. After exchanging a few words with Qin Xiang'an, they wandered around the family compound on their own.

It took so long to arrive.

"They've eaten. Have Auntie and Third Brother eaten yet?"

Shen Jingyue welcomed them into the house.

"have eaten."

"Sister-in-law, is the child asleep?" Xiao Yuchen had come with his mother.

He also wanted to see his little nephew.

"No, he's lying there playing with his little hands."

Shen Jingyue smiled and pointed at Xiao Beichen in the car.

"Sister-in-law, can I play with him for a while?"

"Of course, this child likes you very much too."

With his sister-in-law's permission, he went over and hugged his little nephew.

Little Xiao Beichen was lying there, bored, playing with his little fingers.

Then I saw the uncle who had held and played with me yesterday.

Xiao Beichen didn't know if it was because he drank milk powder made with spiritual spring water, but he had a very good memory and could recognize people.

Upon seeing Xiao Yuchen, he stretched out his little hands, babbling "ah ah ah," wanting to be held.

Xiao Yuchen was almost melted by his soft and cuddly appearance.

"Oh, my dear nephew, you recognize me now."

Xiao Yuchen happily picked up his little nephew.

It looks incredibly rare.

Xie Yun and Shen Jingyue smiled when they saw how much he liked children.

Suddenly, Xie Yun coughed a few times.

Seeing this, Shen Jingyue quickly poured her a glass of water.

After drinking water, Xie Yun felt much better about her throat.

"Does Auntie have a cold?"

Xie Yun waved her hand and said with a smile, "No, it's just an old problem, nothing serious."

She coughs from time to time, and the coughing is more frequent in autumn or winter.

She had seen doctors before, but the medication only provided temporary relief, and the cough would return soon afterward.

My cough used to be much worse, and it wouldn't get better for a while.

Later, I saw a traditional Chinese medicine doctor and took Chinese medicine for a long time before my health improved.

But the traditional Chinese medicine doctor was too old, and someone reported him. His house was raided, and he died not long afterward.

I also consulted traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, but the results were not as good as before.

"If Auntie doesn't mind, how about I take a look at you?"

Xie Yun asked in surprise, "You know medicine?"

Xiao Yuchen, hearing this, also looked over curiously.

Shen Jingyue smiled and said, "I know a little. I learned some traditional Chinese medicine from an old doctor before."

Xie Yun had no hope for this. She had consulted many traditional Chinese medicine practitioners before, but taking a lot of Chinese medicine had no effect.

The traditional Chinese medicine doctor who had helped her improve her health before was no longer available. Fortunately, her health was better than before, and she was quite satisfied.

"Okay, then take a look for me."

Xie Yun became interested, not expecting her to help her improve her health, but she was curious whether this daughter-in-law really knew traditional Chinese medicine.

Shen Jingyue then began to take her pulse. After a while, she frowned and then asked her to switch to the other hand.

Xie Yun felt worried as she saw Xie Yun's furrowed brows.

"What's wrong? Something's wrong with my body again."

Shen Jingyue didn't speak, but took his pulse for a while longer, and then her brows relaxed slightly.

I also looked at her tongue and complexion.

Then he said, "Auntie's health is indeed severely depleted. Coupled with excessive worry and stagnation of liver qi, these conditions have likely persisted for many years, long since depleting her vital energy..."

"However, you should have taken some time to recuperate and your health has improved somewhat, but you are not fully recovered. Also, your aunt probably hasn't been resting well these past few days."

"How about I prescribe a formula for you to combine with acupuncture? When you get back to Beijing, go to a pharmacy, get a few doses of the medicine, and see if it works."
