Insect Repellent

Ding Yao’s eyes curved into a smile. No one didn’t like to hear compliments about themselves. She also liked to hear others say that she was beautiful. Song Xiuyan blushed at Mrs. Lin’s words and hurriedly invited village chief Lin Shenghai and village chief’s wife, Mrs. Lin, into the house.

Mrs. Lin explained from behind, “I heard about your matter yesterday and also heard that Song Yang was bitten by a cobra. Later, he was saved by Yaoyao. We originally wanted to come over to take a look yesterday, but Mr. Lin went to town and my daughter-in-law had just given birth and couldn’t leave, so we delayed until now.”

After entering the house, Mrs. Lin took out the things in the basket. There were eggs, rice, white noodles, and even ripe wild bananas. Mrs. Lin smiled and said, “We don’t have anything to send. We can only send some food over. Your family will have one more person in the future. You have to plan everything well. Don’t be willful, understand?”

Song Xiuyan’s eyes were filled with gratitude, but he was used to keeping his emotions in check. “Thank you, Mr. Lin. Thank you, Mrs. Lin. Your family isn’t rich either. Don’t send anything over in the future. I have a way to support my younger brothers and sisters.”

Village chief Lin Shenghai waved his hand. “Why are you being so polite with me? I know you’re smart. Since you dare to bring the Ding family’s girl back, you must have a way to support her. Ding Yao, you can stay in the Song family at ease.”

Song Xiuyan took the opportunity to say, “Ding Yao is willing to stay, but the rumors outside are really unpleasant to hear.”

Speaking of this, Lin Shenghai was also very angry. “I came here today because of the rumors. Don’t worry. After today, I guarantee that no one will spread those rumors again.”

With the village chief’s guarantee, Song Xiuyan was relieved.

Mrs. Lin saw Ding Yao put the medicinal herbs that she had brought back into the yard to dry. She asked curiously, “What are these things for?”

Song Yu rushed to answer, “These are medicinal herbs that can cure roundworms!”After saying that, he hoped that the village chief and the village chief’s wife could praise Ding Yao. Unexpectedly, the village chief and the village chief’s wife had worried looks on their faces. Mrs. Lin was straightforward and said directly, “Yaoyao, these medicinal herbs that can remove roundworms are usually very toxic. Even the doctors in the town are very careful when prescribing medicine to cure roundworms. Are you sure you can do it yourself?”

The village chief, Lin Shenghai, was also worried. “Why don’t I bring these medicinal herbs to the town tomorrow and let the doctors in the One Side Sky pharmacy take a look at them. Then, we can decide whether to give them to Song Yu and Song Xue.”

Ding Yao waved her hand to indicate that there was no need to ask. Then, she went on and on. The medicinal herbs she used were different from the ones used by the doctors in the town. If she asked, she would be told that her medicinal herbs couldn’t be used.

Song Xiuyan translated Ding Yao’s words for everyone to hear. “Ding Yao just said that this medicinal formula for curing roundworms was left behind by her grandfather. Her grandfather had previously given it to the children in her village. It was very safe and the effect was very good. The medicine used by the doctors in the town to cure roundworms was poisonous. It would poison the worms and also harm the children’s bodies. Ding Yao’s medicinal formula only has the effect of numbing the worms. The harm to the human body was almost zero.”

Ding Yao had already told this to Song Xiuyan and his sister once. At first, Song Xiuyan was a little worried, but the confidence in Ding Yao’s eyes moved him. Ding Yao also said that if he was worried, she would drink a bowl of medicine when the medicine was ready.

When village chief Lin Shenghai and village chief’s wife left, they were still a little worried. They worriedly urged Song Xiuyan, “Don’t drink so much at first. Try drinking one mouthful first. If there’s nothing wrong, the next person will drink it.”

Ding Yao understood Mrs. Lin’s concern, but it wasn’t good to let anyone drink first. Therefore, Ding Yao looked at Song Xiuyan and said, “If you trust me, then listen to me. If you don’t, then don’t drink it.”

“I’ll listen to you.”Song Xiuyan, Song Yu, and the others had already made up their minds. Seeing that Song Xiuyan and the others trusted her unconditionally, Ding Yao smiled. She looked at Song Xiuyan and said, “I’ll drink it first thing in the morning.” She said, “Alright. Tomorrow morning, decoct the medicine and drink it on an empty stomach. Then, don’t eat meat, fish, oily, and spicy food. Give up all stimulating food. Then, drink it again the next morning. The roundworm will be expelled from your body and you won’t have to worry about the roundworm anymore.”

The next morning, Ding Yao prepared the medicinal ingredients and personally made three bowls of soup on the stove. She also added a lot of sugar. She also wanted to get rid of the roundworm all at once.

Song Xue looked at the black medicine and asked worriedly, “Sister Ding Yao, is this medicine very bitter?”
