Chapter 109: A Family of Love-Brained
"That's great. I just don't know what gifts to give to my elders when I return home."
In fact, she had already thought about what gifts to bring to the elders. Although she was often reading and reviewing during this period, she would also take out the books in the Lingquan space to read when Xie Yan was not paying attention. She had already learned how to make pills, so she could use the Chinese medicinal materials at home to make some pills as gifts for the elders of the Xie family before going back.
Everyone in the Xie family is a doctor, and there is no one in the family who doesn't know how to make pills. When she went to deliver pills to people, people who didn't know her would definitely think she was crazy. However, as long as the people in the Xie family were knowledgeable, they would know how good her pills were.
The pills made from spiritual spring water are hundreds of times more effective than ordinary pills. This is also the reason why Lin Siyu was able to make a fortune from her own medicines and various skin care products in the original plot.
"By the way, tell me who's in your family first, so I can prepare a gift for everyone."
"Don't bother with that. Just prepare a gift for grandpa, mom, dad, and sister."
"Mom and Dad?" Tang Man's expression changed. Xie Yan wanted to recognize his mother, but she had no intention of admitting it.
Xie Yan saw Tang Man's face change, and it took him a while to realize that he seemed to have not told Tang Man about the family situation. "She is my father's current wife. My parents are childhood sweethearts, but my father used to only treat my mother as his sister. Later, my father got into trouble, my mother left the Xie family, and my grandfather and his family were so busy with the affairs of the Xie family that they had no time to take care of me. The servants at home took advantage of my young age and didn't dare to complain, so they always beat me."
"One time, when Mom came to visit me, she happened to see the servants beating me, so she told Grandpa about it and told him that she liked Dad and wanted to be his wife. As long as Dad was willing to give her a name, she would treat me like his own son. To reassure them, she would even take sterilizing drugs and never have children of her own. Grandpa was touched by Mom's attitude, and she did her best to take care of me afterwards. After Dad was released, he and Mom got a marriage certificate at Grandpa's request."
Tang Man's eyes widened, she couldn't believe what she heard. "My...my mom is a love-brained person?"
Xie Yan looked confused and asked doubtfully, "What is love brain?"
Ugh! How did she say what was in her heart?
Realizing what she had said, embarrassment flashed across Tang Man's face, but the words had already been said, and if she didn't explain clearly, it would be bad if Xie Yan had to think too much. She racked her brains for a long time before she spoke.
"A pathological obsession with a person will create an extreme need for attachment to that person. For this person, she can humble herself to the ground. As long as the other person asks her to do something, even if it hurts herself, she will do it without hesitation."
Xie Yan carefully recalled how his parents got along with each other, and nodded in agreement, "That's true. When my parents were getting along with each other, my mom always behaved very humbly. No matter what my dad asked her to do, she would do it obediently and never resist."
Is her father-in-law a scumbag?
Tang Man frowned. "Will Dad take advantage of Mom to obey him and treat her like a servant and play with her feelings?"
"What are you thinking about!" Xie Yan squeezed her hand again. "Dad did marry her at first out of gratitude for her help in taking care of me, and because of Grandpa's request, but Dad has always been very good to her and would never make unreasonable demands on her. Besides, there is such a woman whose heart and eyes are filled with him, how could he really be indifferent?"
Xie Yan thought about it before continuing.
"They are both in love right now. Xixi often says that they are too affectionate. Every time I see them being so affectionate, I can't help but get goose bumps all over my body."
Fortunately, her father-in-law is not a scumbag, otherwise she would be... "Xixi, your parents' daughter?"
Xie Yan nodded slightly, his eyes revealing his fondness for his sister. "Well! Xixi is the same age as you. She is a lively and quirky little girl who makes people want to get close to her. I believe you will like her."
"Are you looking forward to meeting her?"
What kind of girl would be praised like this by Xie Yan?
Tang Man began to look forward to meeting the girl.
Xie Yan turned his head and looked at the people around him and smiled, "She is also looking forward to meeting you, and she even said that she has prepared a gift for you."
"Yeah!" Tang Man responded with a smile, and then continued to talk about business, "Besides grandpa and his family, are there many other elders in the family?"
"Yes! There are nearly 200 people in the Xie family, but everyone has their own residence and clinic. They only get together during festivals. By the way, we have to choose gifts for the four grandfathers after we go back. The last time I called Grandpa, he said that the four grandfathers have moved back to the old house."
As expected of a big family, there were quite a lot of people. She had to prepare more pills so as not to let the people of the Xie family think that she was not polite enough.
As they were talking, the two had already walked back to the guesthouse. After putting down the backpack, Xie Yan went downstairs to get a bottle of hot water and asked Tang Man to wash her face and feet. He then took the Jade Dew Cream and helped Tang Man apply it on her face. After that, he also applied some on himself.
It's not like a grown man like him to use this kind of women's stuff, but when his wife asked him to apply it, he would insist on applying some on himself every morning and evening even if he didn't like it. Of course, when he applied it to himself, he was not as serious as when he applied it to his wife.
Tang Man looked at the man who was busy in the house, applying Jade Dew Cream on his face even though he clearly didn't like it, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but slightly raised, "I don't know who was just saying that his parents were both love-brained."
"What did I say? What's wrong?" Xie Yan turned his head in confusion and noticed that his wife was looking at him with a teasing expression. He was stunned for a second and immediately realized what his wife meant by that sentence.
He walked over quickly, pushed the person sitting on the bed onto the bed, stretched out his hands to tickle her waist, "I'm in love, huh?"
“Hahaha! I was wrong…hahaha…you’re not…hahaha…love-brained…”
She laughed and struggled to escape, but no matter where she hid, she couldn't escape.
"My dear, we are in the guest house now. It's not good for you to be so loud."
“You…haha…you…haha…”
Tang Man was tickled so hard that tears came out. She stared at Xie Yan, unable to utter a complete sentence.
You stupid man, you know we can’t be too loud in the guesthouse, so why don’t you stop tickling me!
Someone kept moving his hands, but sighed with an annoyed look on his face, "Hey! If you laugh like that, someone will come knocking on the door soon."
So, just let go!
Tang Man continued to laugh and glare at him.
And he didn't seem to realize that he was the one causing her to continue laughing, his hands still refused to stop moving. However, he was still a little worried that someone would come and knock on the door, so he kindly lowered his head to cover her lips, muffling her laughter.
She even deliberately glanced at him, as if to say: This way you won't disturb others.
