My Wife Is A Miracle Doctor In The 80s

Chapter 189: Chapter 191: Dropping Out of School

“You… ”

Xu Miaomiao turned red immediately, “Why would you say something like that?”

“What’s so strange about it?” Tang Yuxin was puzzled, “Don’t tell me, you haven’t had your period yet?”

Xu Miaomiao’s face turned red all the way to her ears.

“Tang Yuxin, I’m not talking to you anymore.”

After that, she blushed, stuffed the medicine into her backpack, and glared at Tang Yuxin.

Tang Yuxin touched her own face, feeling quite wronged. She climbed the mountain to collect herbs, prepared the herbal medicine, painstakingly turned the powder into pills, only to be glared at, who had she provoked?

She had forgotten that at this age in her previous life, she was a normal girl who also had her embarrassing moments, like the monthly cycle of women, which was kept a secret.

Now, not only has she lived a lifetime longer than others, 30 years more, but she is also a doctor, and there is no gender difference in the eyes of a doctor.

So when she mentioned that word, when she talked about that matter, it was impossible for her to be embarrassed or shy.

When a woman reaches a certain age, her skin thickens and she can make all kinds of bold jokes.

Time is indeed a ruthless knife.

It can turn a young girl into a middle-aged woman who doesn’t mind being crude.

Xu Miaomiao handed the medicine to her mother.

“What is this?” her mother opened the paper bag, it was filled with pills the size of wild grapes, she knew they were traditional Chinese medicine, she could tell by the smell, couldn’t she?

Xu Miaomiao’s face turned crimson right away.

“Yuxin gave this to you, saying it can comfort that issue.”

Hearing this, her mother also couldn’t help but blush.

If Tang Yuxin were here, she would definitely exclaim that this mother and daughter pair were just like each other, even the timing and direction of their blushes were identical.

Tang Yuxin sat on the stone bench outside, Sisi was sitting opposite her. Sisi loved to have her hair brushed by her sister, which always looked the best. Sisi took after Zhang Xiangcao and had beautiful hair that Tang Yuxin would always shampoo with soap nut extract, completely free of chemicals. Sisi’s hair had never been cut in these few years, and had already reached her waist. Tang Yuxin would always take care of Sisi’s hair every day. Although Tang Yuxin’s hair was long and beautiful too, she’d always wear it in a simple braid. It was not necessarily beautiful or ugly in this era with limited hair styles, but this was the most conservative look.

The ideas of their junior high school hadn’t been as open as before.

If boys and girls sat together and talked too much, they would be criticized. If any girl dared to wear a skirt, they’d likely be so embarrassed that they’d end up wearing pants underneath it.

Tang Yuxin divided Sisi’s hair into two parts, braided them into two buns, and tied each one with a delicate hairpin. These hairpins were a gift from their father, Tang Zhijun. Every time he went out, he’d always bring something back for Sisi, whether it was this or that. He didn’t have a child of his own, but who said he didn’t live a good life? He was living a better life in their village than most of the people.

Compared to his past life, when he was lying cold in his grave while he was young, his life now was unmatched by most in the village.

“Done,” Tang Yuxin pinched Sisi’s small face, “go find mom, your sister is busy now.”

“Alright,” Sisi obediently went to find her mother. Although she was quite attached to Tang Yuxin, she never disturbed her when Tang Yuxin was busy.

She had just picked up her bamboo basket, preparing to pick herbs, when Zhang Yindi came running towards her, crying.

“Yuxin, Yuxin… woo…”

She began to cry without uttering a word.

Tears and snot covered her face.

Tang Yuxin couldn’t muster much sympathy for her. Whenever she remembered what Zhang Yindi did in her past life, any sympathy evaporated. As the saying goes, there is always something hateful about someone pitiful.

If Zhang Yindi was pitiful, then the man who had given up everything for her was even more so.

Did she know that what Zhang Yindi was crying about?

“Yuxin, my mom won’t let me go to school anymore. She won’t let me go to school. Zhang Yindi cried so hard, covering her face. She said my grades weren’t good, so she won’t let me continue. The fields are so busy, and nobody at home can help.”

“But my older sister has even made it to high school, why don’t they make her drop out? My younger brother is also in junior high school, why don’t they make him drop out? Why is it always me? Why me?”

Tang Yuxin was silent although Zhang Yindi was pulling at his sleeve.

Favoring the older child and the younger one, leaving the one in the middle to suffer, who can be blamed for that? Yes, who can we blame? The cycle of blame is just because of poverty.

But did Zhang Yindi eventually drop out of school? She didn’t.

She was taken to Beijing by Gu Ning, who pampered and doted on her all her life. But her family was always left in this small village, and Zhang Yindi never once came back to visit them, or send them anything, or even gave them a thought.

Even when she had a fortune worth hundreds of millions, even when she was wearing branded clothes, driving a luxury car, and had many servants at her disposal, she never once thought about her eldest sister who was stuck in a small company, her younger brother who had to do odd jobs on construction sites because he couldn’t go to school, and her aged parents who relied on a small acre of farmland to support the family.

Could she be said to be heartless?

Tang Yuxin was not Zhang Yindi, so she didn’t want to comment on it.

“Yuxin, what should I do? I want to go to school…” Zhang Yindi looked up at her, still with her plain features, nothing outstanding about her. But beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and Gu Ning loved her deeply.

Tang Yuxin gently lifted up her eyelids, it was still that pleasing green in the distance, it should be coming soon, right?

Zhang Yindi left crying. She came looking for Tang Yuxin, but Tang Yuxin, being a student herself, could not help her. Of course, it was even more impossible for her to tell Zhang Yindi at this moment that she needn’t worry, she wouldn’t have to drop out of school because her future husband would be here to pick her up soon.

Tang Yuxin pulled at her own red lips, not knowing what was hurting. It was a dull pain, in her heart or in her soul, she wasn’t sure.

She guessed she would never forget that day in her life, the day of her birthday. Her father asked her to come home to celebrate her birthday and bought her a big birthday cake. That was the only birthday cake she had in her past life.
