So, in order to grow taller, she had to accept even the most inhumane of requests. She didn’t want to learn handwriting. She had been in school for a long time already.

Starting from scratch again was torture for her, plus she was only four years old. It was unreasonable to put such pressure on a young sprout like herself.

When she was about to leave, Chen Zhong gave her a bag of herbs, “Take this home and ask your father to prepare a foot bath for you. It doesn’t require much, just a little. This bag will last a month. Come back to me when you run out. Also,” he sternly added, “remember to come and learn handwriting with me tomorrow.”

Alright, Tang Yuxin carried the little bag with her tiny hands. It wasn’t heavy – it was actually quite light. It contained nothing more than leaves, grass, roots and such.

At least, she won’t have to drink it.

No matter how beneficial herbs are, in excess, they can be harmful. Common sense dictates that all medicines can be poisonous in large amounts. It’s completely true. She was anyway supposed to take foot baths every day.

It was a habit she had developed from her previous life. She couldn’t sleep without it.

Her father, Chen Zhinian, instilled this good habit in her. No matter how busy or tired he was, he made time to prepare a foot bath for her. Tang Yuxin was prone to getting cold hands and feet in the winter when she was little. It was Chen Zhong who advised them to make her soak her feet. With time, she got better.

At first, Chen Zhinian was skeptical. However, after sticking with it for a year, Tang Yuxin showed improvement. At least, some color returned to her face. Therefore, Chen Zhinian continued the foot baths without fail.

Now that Tang Yuxin brought a bag of medicinal herbs home, saying that it was for her foot baths, he didn’t doubt it at all.

When the herbs were soaked in a basin, a faint fragrance wafted out. It smelled like fresh green grass, only a bit more subtle.

Tang Yuxin immersed her little feet in the basin. Her petite toes were round and soft, simply adorable. She could never have dreamed of going back to her childhood and experiencing all of this again, only everything was different this time around.

As for her future plans, she didn’t have any clear idea yet. She was only four, and at this age, kids should be enjoying their playtime. They don’t understand much and usually follow adults around or are led by their older siblings, playing with mud, and being mischievous everywhere they go.

Tang Yuxin lay on her little bed. She had fought hard for it to get her own bed at such a young age. Children her age usually still slept with their parents. It was tough to get this small separate room for herself.

She even deliberately fell off the big bed a few times, claiming that it was Tang Zhinian who had knocked her off. Tang Zhinian was dumbfounded at the time. After similar situations occurred several times, he had no choice but to partition a small room and make a small wooden bed for his daughter. It was a one-meter bed with a guardrail. Despite this, he still found it hard to believe that he would’ve knocked his daughter off the bed while asleep. He was ordinarily rather still when sleeping. Was it possible that he moved in his sleep?

Tang Yuxin finally got her own little room and no longer had to intentionally fall off the bed. After a few falls, she ended up with quite a few bumps on her head. At first, Tang Zhinian was naturally worried about his daughter. He would wake up several times a night, afraid that she would kick off her blanket or fall out of her bed. After secretly observing her for a few days, he found that Tang Yuxin was a very peaceful sleeper. She wouldn’t kick her blanket or even turn over in her sleep. She would sleep soundly until morning and, thankfully, never fell out of bed again.
