Chapter 1753: Looking for Badger Oil

Liu Chuxue nodded at Guo Yueliang: "Alright, you go ahead and get busy."

Fu's mother turned her head and happened to see Guo Yueliang's face: "Chuxue, how do you know that Miss?"

Hearing the question, Liu Chuxue said: "During the last Canton Fair, at the triplets' first birthday banquet, she was there too; I probably just didn't notice."

Seeing Liu Chuxue speak so calmly, Fu's mother realized she didn't know that Miss's background; she wanted to say something but swallowed it back, deciding not to get involved.

Seeing his own mother's forehead covered in sweat from pain, Fu Yan Cheng turned and left the ward, preparing to find the attending physician to ask about the situation: "I'm going to see the doctor."

Hearing this, Liu Chuxue said: "Xiao Wan, you watch Mom; I'll go over there too to hear what the doctor says."

Fu Yanwan nodded: "Alright, you go ahead."

Liu Chuxue left the ward but didn't follow Fu Yan Cheng to the attending physician; instead, she turned and found the Traditional Chinese Medicine department in the hospital, which was quite quiet with very few patients.

She knocked lightly on the door; the old TCM physician inside, who was reading a newspaper, looked up: "Comrade, is there something you need?"

Liu Chuxue walked in: "Physician, I'd like to consult you about something."

The old physician pointed to the stool opposite: "Sit and speak."

After sitting down, Liu Chuxue explained her mother-in-law's condition: "Physician, is there any ointment that could relieve my mother-in-law's pain?"

A flash of disbelief crossed the old physician's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure: "You could try finding some badger oil; it should be effective."

Hearing "badger oil," Liu Chuxue thought of Dr. Hu in the village: "Alright then, thank you, Physician."

The physician waved his hand at her: "However, that thing is not easy to find; you might as well ask your relatives in the countryside to inquire for you."

Liu Chuxue thanked him and hurried back to the ward.

Seeing her return, Fu Yan Cheng immediately stepped forward: "Where did you go? If you hadn't come back soon, I was about to go out and look for you."

Liu Chuxue didn't look at him but turned to her mother-in-law: "I went to ask the old physician in the TCM department; he said to try finding some badger oil, and Mom's waist should improve. I was thinking we might go back to the village."

Remembering something, she added: "Actually, I'll just make a phone call back first to ask."

Acting immediately, she said: "Mom, I'll go ask right now; if we can find it, we'll go back to the village."

Liu Chuxue thought to herself that her mother-in-law had truly been kind to her, so naturally she should take care of things at this moment.

Fu Yan Cheng naturally wanted to go along: "Mom, let's go make the phone call first."

Once the couple left, Fu Yanwan teased her own mother: "Look at my fourth brother, acting like a little shadow."

Fu's mother rolled her eyes at her daughter but then smiled: "This shows their marriage is good."

Seeing the smile on her own mother's face, Fu Yanwan deliberately said in a coquettish voice: "Yes, yes, their relationship is good."

Liu Chuxue and Fu Yan Cheng left the hospital and walked for a while before finding a place to make a phone call; after dialing the village number, she said: "Uncle Village Head, it's me, Liu Chuxue."

"Oh my, Liu Chuxue, why are you calling back? Is something wrong?"

"Uncle Village Head, which family in our village has badger oil?"

Hearing she was looking for badger oil, the Village Head slapped his thigh and said: "You've asked the right question! Last year, the land at the back ravine was troubled terribly by badgers; the villagers guarded it for seven or eight days and caught two badgers. Dr. Hu made several jars of badger oil at that time."

"However, I don't know if he still has any; I'll help you ask in a moment."

Liu Chuxue quickly said: "Uncle Village Head, then it's trouble for you to run over; if Dr. Hu happens to be out of it, please ask around the village who has some; I need it urgently."
