Wang Yao went to the Agricultural Bureau to look for his sister at 3 pm .
"Hi, Yao, didn't expect to see you here . What's up?" asked Wang Ru with a smile .
"I bought an apartment in the town center, and I've had it renovated . I don't live in town, so I want you to move inside," said Wang Yao .
"What?!" said Wang Ru in surprise . "Where is the apartment?"
"I'll show you after you finish work," said Wang Yao .
"Okay, just wait for me," said Wang Ru .
Wang Ru ran into the building where she worked and came out after a short while .
"Let's go . I've spoken to my manager to have the rest of the day off . Let's take a look at the apartment," said Wang Ru .
. . .
"How big is the apartment?" asked Wang Ru in surprise after they had arrived at the place and looked around .
"It's 135 square meters," said Wang Yao .
"And you want me to move here?" asked Wang Ru .
"Yes . You can stay here for as long as you want to . I've asked around . The company in charge of property management is pretty good . There are supermarkets and restaurants nearby, and it is close to where you work . What do you think of it?" said Wang Yao .
"I think it's great! Fantastic! You didn't disappoint me after so many years I've been treating you so well!" said Wang Ru excitedly . She had enough with the unit she was renting .
"Good . It's decided then . I'll bring some furniture here soon," said Wang Yao .
"I'll pay for the furniture," said Wang Ru .
"No need . I've shopped around in the afternoon and ordered the furniture for you," said Wang Yao . "You just need to bring yourself when everything's ready . "
"Great! I have to buy you dinner this evening to express my gratitude," said Wang Ru .
"Don't worry about dinner . Let's go home . You just need to bring a husband," joked Wang Yao .
"Are you looking for a fight?" said Wang Ru .
"This is the key . " Wang Yao gave the key to his sister . "I will call you after the furniture has arrived," said Wang Yao .
"Okay, I'll let our parents know when I go home this weekend," said Wang Ru .
"You are not a guest; you don't need to notify Mom and Dad when you go home," said Wang Yao .
It was dusk when Wang Yao arrived at home . His parents had made dinner for him .
"Did you go to town today?" asked Zhang Xiuying .

"Yes, the apartment has been renovated, and I gave the key to my sister . " Wang Yao had mentioned to his parents that he had bought an apartment but didn't tell them any details .
"You gave the key to your sister?" asked Wang Fenghua .
"Yes, I've finished renovating the apartment . I don't live in town, so she can stay there as long as she wants to . Otherwise, it's just gonna be a waste," said Wang Yao .
"Okay, she can stay there for now," said Wang Fenghua .
"How is Tong Wei in Dao City?" asked Zhang Xiuying .
"She's fine," said Wang Yao .
"Remember to contact her regularly, and if you are available, you should visit her . Dao City is not far from here," suggested Zhang Xiuying .
"I know," said Wang Yao .
Wang Yao had promised his parents he would contact Tong Wei, but in fact, he hadn't called her recently . He only texted Tong Wei in the evening . It was usually Tong Wei who called Wang Yao .
After returning to Nanshan hill, Wang Yao started to prepare for new decoctions . He only picked a few herbs . Apart from the miasma grass, which had a strong effect on human body, all the other herbs had only mild effects and were good for internal organs .
After picking up the herbs, Wang Yao read scriptures for a while as usual before going to sleep .
. . .
The wind was nice and warm the next day .
It was getting warmer and warmer in spring .
One leaf of miasma grass costs 30 reward points! How expensive! thought Wang Yao .
In order to treat Wei Hai, Wang Yao had to buy miasma grass from the medicine shop . He had all the other herbs for the formula except for miasma grass . Although he had planted miasma grass in his herbal field, he only planted it a short while ago, so the miasma grass was not ready .
It was relatively easy to brew the decoction because there were not many herbs involved . Wang Yao only required five different herbs .
Although only five different herbs were required for the decoction, Wang Yao was very careful when brewing the decoction . Because this was the first time for him to make it . The chances of failure were big .
Wang Yao put herbs into the pot one-by-one .
He added miasma grass into the pot at last . The leaf of miasma grass was straight and hard, like a mini sword . It took a while for the leaf to melt into the water . The decoction smelled nice .
Done!
Wang Yao was distracted when looking at the warm decoction .
The decoction was ready . How should I test its effect?
He subconsciously looked through the window and felt something . San Xian suddenly stood up in his dog house and looked around .

"No . " Wang Yao shook his head .
All the other herbs in the decoction were mild except for miasma grass, which had a strong effect . Wang Yao didn't want to make San Xian sick . He didn't want to do more harm than good to San Xian .
"Well, I have to leave it here for now," murmured Wang Yao .
Then, he started the fire again as he was going to make Regather soup .
Wei Hai's body was seriously damaged by his disease . He required herbs to consolidate his corporeity . Otherwise, he might not be able to tolerate the miasma grass .
"Mingbao, when can that Dr . Wang finish making my decoctions?" asked Wei Hai to Wang Mingbao .
"This week . I've told you numerous times . " Wang Mingbao was speechless as he looked at Wei Hai who had visited him three times in four days .
"Well, I can't wait anymore," said Wei Hai .
Wei Hai's disease had become more and more serious, so he had become more and more nervous and scared . He was so preoccupied with his disease and couldn't have anything else on his mind . He had spent all his time looking for a good doctor and totally neglected his business . He had left his business in the hands of his relatives, who had been running his business well . He became richer and richer, but his health continued to deteriorate which really annoyed him .
What was the saddest thing in this world? Being dead and leaving all your money behind .
"Can you ask Dr . Wang for me?" asked Wei Hai .
"I know . You just need to rest well at home . Don't bother coming here," said Wang Mingbao . He was a bit confused when looking at Wei Hai, who looked like a heavy smoker .
I hope this dude's disease is not contagious . Well, I should ask Wang Yao after he leaves, thought Wang Mingbao .
Finally, Wei Hai had left . Wang Mingbao called Wang Yao straight away .
"Hello, Mingbao?" Wang Yao was brewing Regather soup .
"Hello Yao, Wei Hai just came here and asked me again when you can have his decoctions ready," said Wang Mingbao .
"Tomorrow," said Wang Yao .
"Okay, by the way, I need to ask you something," said Wang Mingbao .
"What is it?" asked Wang Yao .
"Is his disease contagious?" asked Wang Mingbao .
"Very unlikely," said Wang Yao . "Why do you ask?"
"He came here quite often in the last few days . I'm a bit scared . You said very unlikely, but there is still a very small chance for me to get infected?" asked Wang Mingbao .
"As long as you don't drink his blood and eat his flesh," said Wang Yao with a big smile .
"Okay, good to know . I'll ask him to come tomorrow," said Wang Mingbao .
"Okay," said Wang Yao .

After hanging up the phone, Wang Yao continued to concentrate on brewing the decoctions . It took him the whole afternoon to finish all the work .
Wang Yao had to go to Renhe clinic before visiting Wang Mingbao the next day .
. . .
It was Wednesday . The weather was not good . It was gloomy and windy .
Wang Yao drove to Renhe clinic first . Pan Jun changed his shift for him, and he met the owner of the clinic the first time . The owner was Pan Jun's sister; her name was Pan Mei . Pan Mei was in her 40's . She was plump, pale and looked young .
"Hello, Dr . Wang," greeted Pan Mei after meeting Wang Yao .
"Hello, Ms . Pan," greeted Wang Yao .
Wang Yao started working after talking to Pan Jun and Pan Mei briefly .
"Hello, Dr . Wang; you are really here!" Less than ten minutes later, a middle-aged man walked into the clinic room where Wang Yao was . He was smiling at Wang Yao .
"You are?"
Wang Yao remembered him because he had an unusual disease—a headache caused by being overly excited .
"Hi, I came here the last two days but didn't see you," said the middle-aged man .
"How are you? Do you still have a headache?" asked Wang Yao .
"I'm fine now . No headache and no stomach ache, thanks to you!" said the middle-aged man with a smile .
"You are welcome . It's good to know you are fine now," said Wang Yao .
The middle-aged man left with a smile after thanking Wang Yao again and again .
Wang Yao didn't have any other patients after the middle-aged man had left until 10 am . An elderly person in her 60's came into Renhe clinic and was guided to see Wang Yao .
"Hello, Ma'am, how can I help you?" said Wang Yao .
He had a close look at the elderly lady who didn't look well . She was stumbling when entering the clinical room . Her hair was almost white, and she was a bit kyphotic .
"Hello, young man . " The elderly lady was surprised to see Wang Yao who was so young . She sat down after thinking for a while .
"How can I help you?" asked Wang Yao .
"I have a bad headache, and I can't sleep well at night," said the elderly lady . She sounded weak .
"Let me check your pulse first," said Wang Yao .
"Okay," said the elderly lady .
Her arm was skinny . There were only bones underneath the skin .
What?
She is so weak! Her blood vessels and meridians are blocked . The Qi in her liver has stagnated . Both her heart and lungs are damaged . This lady's health is so poor!
"Ma'am, you need to rest and don't work too much . In addition, try not to get angry," said Wang Yao .
"Well, I can't stop being angry and upset . My son and my daughter in law are fighting every single day," sighed the elderly lady .
"Do you live with your son's family?" asked Wang Yao .
"Yes, I have to babysit my grandson," said the elderly lady .
The elderly lady's phone started to ring when they were talking . She took out her phone .
"Please remember to pick up Tao in the morning . Tao said last night that he wants to eat dumplings with chives inside . By the way, could you also bring some lamb home . . . " Wang Yao could hear the voice from the other side of the phone .
"Okay," said the elderly lady . She sounded helpless, lost and unhappy .
She then said to Wang Yao, "People say your children will look after you when you get old . I really don't think so!"
"Mom, you are really here!" A good-looking woman in her 30's came in while Wang Yao was speaking to the elderly lady . "I've told you I would take you to the hospital," said the woman .
"The clinic is close to our unit, so I just dropped by to see a doctor here," said the elderly lady .
"Let's go . I'll take you to a proper hospital," said the woman in her 30's .
"I have to pick up Tao later," said the elderly lady .
"Ask Zhang Ling to pick her son up . She's got nothing to do at home . She doesn't cook, doesn't watch her son and doesn't wash clothes; she's just like furniture!" said the woman in her 30's . "I think you should listen to me . Don't stay here anymore . You can stay at my place or go back to your own home . "
"I can't do that," said the elderly lady .
Ding! Ding! The elderly lady's phone rang again .
"Don't . . . "
The elderly lady's daughter grabbed the phone before her mother could speak .
"Zhao Hongren, do you still have a conscience? Mom helps you watch your son, cook, and do your laundry while you let our mother live in the basement . Why haven't you divorced your wife? Are you gonna continue to be her servant?!" shouted the woman in her 30's angrily .
Wang Yao was shocked by her .
"Ming!" said the elderly woman who tried to stop her daughter .
"Mom, let's go, stay with me . Their son doesn't just belong to you . Leave your grandson to his parents . " The woman helped her mother stand up and was going to leave .
"Miss, could you please wait?" said Wang Yao with a smile .
"What?" asked the woman as she turned around .
"Your mother is seriously ill, and we shouldn't delay her treatment . Otherwise, it may become life-threatening," said Wang Yao kindly .
