Siheyuan: How dare I mess with a man who is an expert in men's health?

Time flies and it is Sunday again.

The Yi family in the middle courtyard.

Yi Zhonghai got up early, changed into clean clothes, and dressed himself up.

An old lady asked in confusion: "Old Yi, why don't you take a good rest today? What are you going to do?"

Yi Zhonghai habitually did not explain, but just perfunctorily said: "Of course it's business.

Oh, right! Don’t forget what I told you, the girl from the Shu family should be at home today.

You can bring some things to my house later, just treat it as a sign of concern between neighbors, and chat about family matters, don't mention anything else."

The bitterness in the aunt's eyes flashed away, and then she nodded and agreed: "Okay, I understand.

But there is not much point in doing this. I still don’t believe that girl and Cao Anping can succeed.”

Yi Zhonghai was a little impatient. Ever since he realized his situation at the whole institute meeting, his temper had become more and more impatient, and the feeling that he was in control before had completely disappeared.

So he answered with a somewhat serious tone: "Don't worry about it! Just do as I say. I have my own plans for a rainy day."

After saying that, Yi Zhonghai went out, leaving behind the old lady with a gloomy look.

The Shu family's backyard.

Shu Meng was holding a basin of clothes and was about to wash them.

When I went out, I saw Lou Xiao'e standing at the door with something in her hand, ready to knock on the door.

She asked with some confusion: "Sister Xiao'e, what's wrong with you?"

Even though the two families are separated by only a wall, they haven't had time to establish any friendship and are usually just nodding acquaintances.

Not to mention that Lou Xiao'e has been staying in the courtyard less often during this period, and we haven't seen each other many times.

Lou Xiao'e replied with a smile: "Sister Shu Meng, I was not here when you moved in, and as a result, the neighbors living under the same roof didn't move around.

"It's Sunday today, so I'm here to visit you. I hope you won't be unwelcome, sister?"

Lou Xiao'e's words were gentle and friendly, a completely different person from usual.

If Xu Damao were treated like this, his bones would probably become two taels lighter.

This also shows that, as a lady from a wealthy family, Lou Xiao'e is not really ignorant of the ways of the world, nor is she cold-hearted.

He just didn't want to waste his expression on the people in the courtyard, so he pretended to be cool.

What else could Shu Meng say? She could only quickly put down the dirty clothes and politely welcome the guest into the house.

After Lou Xiao'e entered the room, she handed the gift to Shu's mother with both hands and greeted her with a smile:

"Auntie, I heard you were sick, are you okay?

I brought some tonics with me, which are very good for the body and anemia. You can try them."

Mother Shu looked confused and didn't understand what was going on, so she subconsciously declined, "Thank you, Xiao'e.

I'm feeling much better now and there's no need to take any supplements.

By the way, I haven’t congratulated you yet, but you’re going to be a mother, so it’s more appropriate for you to use the supplements yourself.

Come on, come on, sit down, don’t stand, you are so precious now, hehe…”

Lou Xiao'e sat down and put the gift on the table, then continued to persuade:

"Aunt, please accept it. I don't need these things. They are just a token of my appreciation.

We are neighbors separated by a wall. There is no need to be so formal. We will have plenty of time to spend together in the future."

Shu Meng was very curious when she heard that the tonic was good for her mother's illness. She also heard that Lou Xiao'e came from a noble family, so she thought that she would not make such a claim without a purpose.

Whether to accept the gift or not is another matter, but you should at least know what it is first, in case it really is the right medicine for your condition.

So she didn't care about being rude and walked forward to check the gift somewhat awkwardly.

This sight made Shu Meng a little shocked. She didn't expect that such an ordinary cloth bag could contain such good things.

As the saying goes, long illness makes a good doctor. Most of my mother's medicines were made by her, so I could tell at a glance that there was a wild ginseng of quite a few years.

There is also a bag of very good quality dried red dates, which would be difficult for ordinary people to get.

Shu Meng shook her head with great difficulty and refused: "Sister Xiao'e, this... is too expensive. We can't accept it."

She really wanted to accept the gift, but the relationship between the two families had not reached that point yet, and she knew very well that debts of favor were the hardest to repay.

Besides, it's just a tonic, not a miracle drug that can cure any disease, and it can't make her go against her own code of conduct.

Lou Xiao'e waved her hand and said casually: "It's actually not as expensive as you think. There are a lot of them in the Northeast. It just takes some effort to get them to the city.

You guys keep it and try it, if it works well, I can ask someone to buy some more for you later."
