Rebirth in the 80's: The Daily Life of the Villain's Mom-Chapter 52: What Are You Cooking Over There?

Upon hearing Jiang Ran’s words, Pei Yang immediately looked over, "Did you have a doctor check the prescription? The doctor also said it could be used?"

As he asked, his expression clearly showed disbelief.

Jiang Ran nodded seriously, "Of course! Medicine isn’t something you can just take randomly. If the doctor wasn’t certain there were no issues, he definitely wouldn’t dare sell it to me to take! If anything went wrong from taking it, he would be responsible."

Jiang Ran’s tone was very convincing, making Pei Yang, who was initially doubtful of her words, trust her.

Pei Shanshan was easier to soothe than Pei Yang. She had already come over, curiously asking Jiang Ran, "Sister-in-law, what do these medicines do for you?"

In Pei Shanshan’s view, Jiang Ran wasn’t sick.

Jiang Ran was healthy, very strong, a great cook, and extremely capable.

Although a bit chubby, being able to eat was a blessing at this time!

Most people who want to eat to be this chubby don’t even have the means!

So why is Jiang Ran, who is perfectly fine, taking medicine?

It wasn’t exactly a secret, so when Pei Shanshan asked, Jiang Ran explained.

"It’s for body conditioning. I’m overweight because there’s a bit of a problem with my body, and by taking some medicine to regulate it, I should be able to lose weight quickly. They’re not all for consumption; some are for soaking."

Upon hearing Jiang Ran’s answer, Pei Shanshan was a bit shocked.

It’s actually for weight loss?

Pei Shanshan looked at Jiang Ran with a conflicted expression, "Sister-in-law, isn’t it nice to be chubby? It looks like you’re blessed; doesn’t Mom always say that?"

Jiang Ran, "..."

Even before Jiang Ran got into the book, many elderly women preferred girls who were fair and chubby, saying such girls were good for childbirth and seemed blessed.

But Jiang Ran refused.

She didn’t want this kind of blessing.

Jiang Ran just smiled without saying anything, and Pei Shanshan didn’t say more.

Although Jiang Ran had become much easier to get along with during this time and her temper had improved greatly, Pei Shanshan could tell that some things still hadn’t changed about Jiang Ran.

For example, if Jiang Ran wanted to do something, she would definitely go ahead and do it.

No matter what others said or did, it wouldn’t change Jiang Ran’s mind.

That night, after returning home, Jiang Ran began brewing the Chinese medicine in the specially bought pot.

Whether it’s meant for drinking or for bathing, it needs to be boiled first.

The smell of Chinese medicine is strong and quite unpleasant. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

The scent was identifiable not only to the Pei Family but also to their neighbors.

It was dinner time when suddenly the smell of medicine was detected; everyone became curious and simply brought their bowls to the Pei Family’s door, peeking inside.

Seeing Wang Cuilan tidying up the items on the cart in the yard, people started to inquire.

"Hey, Cuilan, what are you cooking at your place?"

The speaker was the neighbor on the left of the Pei Family, also surnamed Wang, named Wang Shufen. Her family and Wang Cuilan’s are from the same village, and the two married here one after another, becoming neighbors.

Over the years, while not overwhelmingly close, they’ve gotten along quite well.

Recently, Wang Shufen had noticed all the changes in the Pei Family.

Not just noticed, but also smelled them.

There’s no denying it; the Pei Family’s dinner aroma every night was super enticing — a meaty fragrance you couldn’t ignore.

With the aroma of the Pei Family’s dinner, Wang Shufen felt she could eat an extra bowl of rice.

Being used to that fragrance, suddenly sensing the smell of Chinese medicine was indeed peculiar.
