My Wife Is A Miracle Doctor In The 80s - Chapter 167
Chapter 167: Chapter 169: A Class
“This…” Tang Yuxin lifted her finger. The scent of herbs lingered over her youthful fingers. “I wouldn’t say I’ve learned much, but I can diagnose common diseases.” In reality, given the right conditions, she could also cure more serious diseases. In her last life, she had been a competent internist. She had performed numerous surgeries, at least a hundred if not thousands. Besides being recognized for her high success rate, she was also known for her alias – ‘Ming Sanniang’. As for this life, she wasn’t sure of her progress, but she was certain she was far better than in her previous life.
“Then…” Zhang Xiangcao suddenly seized Tang Yuxin’s hand.
“Yuxin, can you examine my second aunt? Why can’t she…”
Unable to finish her sentence in front of Tang Yuxin, she mentioned her body issues. Despite being married and having given birth to Sisi, speaking about her own body remained a challenge.
Tang Yuxin lowered her head, looking at Zhang Xiangcao who was tightly gripping her wrist. She was too tense, causing pain to her bones from the grip.
“Second Aunt, are you asking why you haven’t gotten pregnant yet?”
Tang Yuxin wasn’t an ordinary child. Having lived a complete life once, and being a doctor, she could guess Zhang Xiangcao’s predicament. Apart from this, what else might Zhang Xiangcao be unable to ask?
Zhang Xiangcao opened her mouth, her face flushing.
“Yes, Second Aunt will not hide it from you,” she wanted to ask Tang Yuxin this question. She was aware of the Tang family’s situation. Tang Zhinian had no intention of marrying anyone else thus far. Tang Yuxin was the only name missing from the Tang family’s list. Their descendants could not be cut off from her. Otherwise, she would become a sinner of the ages.
Tang Yuxin tightened her grip on Zhang Xiangcao’s hand and freed her slender wrist from Zhang Xiangcao’s palm. Zhang Xiangcao’s excitement might shatter her wrist.
She lowered her head, took a handful of herbs from the bamboo basket, and the scent of the herbs became stronger under her fingers.
Just as Zhang Xiangcao thought that Tang Yuxin wasn’t going to say anything, Tang Yuxin suddenly lifted her face and stared at Zhang Xiangcao earnestly.
“Second Aunt, what if I told you that there would be no more children in your future with Second Uncle?”
Zhang Xiangcao’s face immediately changed.
“Yuxin, are you saying that I…” she rubbed her stomach.
Tang Yuxin gave a faint smile, after all, what did it matter who couldn’t have children? Anyway, she knew that Zhang Xiangcao and Zhijun would never leave each other. So, what was the point of knowing all this? It would be better not to know it at all.
Zhang Xiangcao moistened her lips for quite a while and finally sighed faintly. Afterwards, she never mentioned these matters again, accepting the fact she could no longer have children.
Therefore, she treated Tang Zhinian even better. She also told Sisi since she was young to always be kind and loving to her father.
Sisi had always loved her father more than her mother.
That year, Tang Yuxin turned 15 and was now a junior high school student. The children in the village started school two years later than those in the city. While the city children usually began junior high school at age 12, those in the village mostly started at 14 or 15, and some even at 16 or 17. The junior high school in the county was the best local junior high school, despite being close to rural areas, many city children also studied there.
Because there was a newly built road in the village, Li Tang Village was now closer to the junior high school. It took about twenty minutes to walk there every day, so buying a bicycle was not necessary.
She packed her school bag, turned around, and crouched down, cupping Sisi’s little face, “Sisi, you’re a primary school student now, remember to study hard. If you score a hundred points in your exams, will your big sister buy you lots of candies?”
“Okay,” Sisi nodded her small head vigorously, looking just like a soft and sweet baozi.
As for Tang Yuxin herself, she put her hands behind her back. Indeed, there was no harm without comparison. She was just as dark as before.
“Grandpa must have been lying to me,” she lifted her face and let out a soft breath. He had said that eating would make her fair, but she had been eating for almost eight years now, and yet she was still as dark as before.
“Yuxin, Yuxin …” there was a voice behind her calling her name.
She turned around, recognizing the voice. It was Zhang Yindi.
She pulled at the corner of her mouth lightly, smiling. However, the smile had a hint of unspoken distance, and beyond this distance, there was an indifference that others could not understand.
“Yuxin, my sister helped me check the class arrangements.”
The rustic girl ran over, her hair tied in a sloppy braid, a ribbon apparently pulled from some piece of clothing tied into a large flower on her hair.
“We’re in the same class.”
Zhang Yindi hugged Tang Yuxin’s arm tightly, asking her whether they were very kindred spirits.
Tang Yuxin was still smiling, but her eyes showed no trace of mirth.
Everything was exactly as it was in her previous life. They were in the same class once again. She wondered if she was in the same class as Wei Jiani as well. In her past life, this was the arrangement, they were all in the same class, but ended up with different destinies.
The best ended up being the worst off, while the worst ended up being a military officer’s wife.
She looked back at Zhang Yindi once more, unable to read anything about the future in her face. Although she knew some things, she didn’t know why they would happen.
However, no matter what happened, in this life, she wouldn’t let Zhang Yindi ruin that person again.
Zhang Yindi naturally failed to see the coldness in Tang Yuxin’s eyes. She was still grinning, excitedly contemplating her high school life.
“My mom said she would give me five yuan a week.”
Zhang Yindi kept talking about her five-yuan allowance. After a while, though, she started complaining about her mother’s preference for men over women. She had saved the money, but in the end, it was all stolen by her younger brother.
And her mother did not manage her brother at all. From a young age, he knew only how to steal and slack off, contributing nothing.
“When I grow up and make money, I won’t care for him.”
This was something Tang Yuxin absolutely believed, because in her last life, when Zhang Yindi became Zhang Xiaomei and transformed from a country girl into a golden phoenix, she ignored her biological brother.
And Tang Yuxin knew it well. Zhang Yindi actually resented her brother.
Tang Yuxin thought, if she had a brother, she would be very good to him, give him all the best food, keep all the best toys for him. She had a sister in her last life, but what was the difference between having a sister and not having one?
