“Dad, it’s only right that I do this.” With that, Mu Huan looked at Bo Junyan and signaled to him not to give credit to her. She didn’t know what to say to him.
Bo Junyan smiled and did not speak further.
Bo Dingjing looked at his son and then at his wife. His eyes were full of emotion. Look, you said yesterday that she was unfilial for running away in a flash. How is she unfilial? She went back to think of a way to help me!
Meng Yueman: “…”
How was she to know that Mu Huan had gone back to get these things?!
Bo Dingjing and Meng Yueman had both lived in Yun Cheng before. At that time, the Song family’s pharmaceutical business was at its peak. Naturally, they knew that the Song family’s medicines were very powerful. They had also heard that the Song family had many secret formulas passed down from their ancestors. However, at that time, they were not sick and did not pay much attention to the Song family.
Later on, due to the proliferation of Western medicine, Chinese medicine declined. If one were to tell others of a secret prescription, they would only think that it was a side prescription or that it was a harmful snake oil cure. It was unscientific. Furthermore, after the Song family’s prescriptions were taken by the Mu family, they were already defeated to the point that they were inferior to ordinary pharmaceutical factories. Hence, even though they knew Mu Huan’s background, they did not expect her to have such capabilities.
Seeing that Mu Huan was proficient in helping Bo Dingjing apply the medicine, Meng Yueman couldn’t help but say, “You’re so young, but you know a lot.”
“This is what we did at home. I came to understand more after always seeing it done.” Mu Huan had been exposed to drugs since she was young. In the years when she and her granny depended on each other, because her granny was too poor to hire a nurse, Mu Huan had been the one doing all the chores.
She had learned how to use herbs to make medicine since she was young.
Meng Yueman thought about the hard times she had lived through since she was young and felt her heart ache. “It’s really been hard on you, child…”
“People say that only through hardships can one become the best. I’m probably going to become a great person in the future!” Mu Huan changed the topic to a happy one.
“You’re still so young, but you’re already so outstanding. You’ll definitely be a formidable figure in the future!” Bo Dingjing praised generously.
“That’s right. In the future, she’ll definitely be a great figure!” Meng Yueman praised.
After all, she was only in her first year of university. Even if her prescription came from her ancestors, Professor Fu had said that if he’d been the one to try fusing the two prescriptions, he might not have been able to fuse them so well. Yet she could fuse them so well and so beautifully!
The Song family had been talented in medicine for generations. It was said that their ancestors had been Imperial physicians for several generations.
She was so young, yet she had such capabilities. It was obvious that she had surpassed her master. She would definitely be even more outstanding in the future.
“Dad, Mom, don’t praise me like this. If you continue to praise me like this, I’ll become so proud!” Mu Huan was a narcissistic person to begin with. It was really easy for her to become proud and smug after being praised like this!
“Be proud, then. You’re allowed to be very proud!” Bo Dingjing liked Mu Huan to begin with. After that incident, he chose to believe in Bo Junyan’s taste and in this daughter-in-law. He didn’t have any other bad ideas about her. Now, he felt even more that this daughter-in-law was good in every way.
Although Meng Yueman was complaining about Mu Huan, that was due to common sense. Anyone who saw their son treating their father that way because of their daughter-in-law would feel uncomfortable.
It was just like how mothers would sometimes complain about their daughters-in-law.
In general, Meng Yueman was a very reasonable person. She had always known that everything was her father’s fault, but that was her biological father. If she didn’t tolerate him, who would?
