Switched Marriage The Coddled Little Wife novel Chapter 76

Chapter 76: Chapter 76: The moon wanes when at full, water overflows when too full.

Upon opening the box, Lin Chuxia immediately noticed its contents—a small stack of at least a dozen handwritten prescriptions.

"Master..." Lin Chuxia didn’t know what to say. These items could be considered what Old Sir He cared about the most, and now they were all to be given to her.

Old Sir He frowned, "Lose that look; I’m not dead yet. These things aren’t worth much. They’re just taking up space at home. Take them with you. If you feel like it, you can take a look. If not, just use them to start a fire when cooking meat. Just hurry up and take them away."

Lin Chuxia chuckled, put the medical books back in the box, and lifted the entire thing, "Then I might really use them to start a fire, Master, you better not feel heartbroken."

"Go on, get out of here. You’re starting to be a pain to look at," Old Master He shooed her away.

"Alright then, I’m really going. Don’t regret it later, Master. Rest assured, after I stew the meat, I’ll bring some over for you to taste. Let’s see if the meat cooked with medical books as kindling tastes the same as before."

Lin Chuxia said this as she ran out. As she passed through the doorway, a shoe flew out after her.

Laughter echoed in the courtyard; Old Sir He couldn’t help but laugh too as he watched from behind the glass.

Lin Chuxia carried the box back to the office in her small courtyard. She took out the medical books and flipped through them; she couldn’t recognize many of the traditional characters, so she simply put them aside.

She then took out the stack of prescriptions and noticed that the papers used were clearly of varying ages.

The lower stack of papers, whether it was the paper itself or the handwriting, clearly had some age to them. The few on top were clean, with clear calligraphy, obviously newly written, and a hint of amusement flickered in her eyes.

Looking at the contents on the papers, the top portion listed the prescriptions, indicating the names and quantities of the herbs used, while the bottom half described the applicable symptoms.

Most were common medicines used in everyday life, with only a few being remedies for treating complicated and miscellaneous diseases.

However, Lin Chuxia carefully noticed that even those common drugs were somewhat different from what she knew.

In her previous life, she had worn herself out and was frail, frequently falling ill and often seeking help from traditional Chinese medicine practitioners.

Being a patient for such a long time, she had become somewhat of an expert. There were a few prescriptions she had used in her previous life, and she clearly remembered that some of the medications were slightly different.

She had never doubted Old Sir He’s medical skills. Anyone who could earn praise from Granny Su—Old Sir He’s skills were certainly not something an ordinary doctor could compete with.

It’s just that these prescriptions had not become known in her previous life. Perhaps with Old Sir He’s passing, they also disappeared from history.

Lin Chuxia put the prescriptions and the medical books back in the small box and directly placed the box into the spatial storage.

Perhaps in this life, she would have one more important thing to do.

...

Business at the store was proceeding in an organized manner, and Qin Yang’s birthday was approaching. When she found the time, she made a trip to the city.

She planned to open her next Bun Shop in Ancity County, and since Ancheng County was only so big, no matter how delicious her buns were, the market share for two bun shops would be nearly the same.

She had to leave some room for the many small business owners to make a living.

In her previous life, Lin Chuxia had spent her entire life in business and knew the principle of leaving a line when dealing with people and leaving some leeway in actions.

To overflow when full, to spill when brimming with water.

This was also the reason why she wasn’t angry when Granny Sun took her spot at the stall.

She didn’t have the courage of Bai Juyi to return the remaining wealth to the people, but leaving a portion of the market to her fellow countrymen was still feasible.

She also needed to make a purchase trip to the city.

Ancheng County was indeed a bit small, and there were many things she didn’t find appealing.

Once she came back and opened the new branch, there would be New Year’s Day, Spring Festival, and various holidays following. According to her usual practice, she needed to plan for the gift-giving aspect of the holidays.
