Chapter 13 A Cure
Chapter 13 A Cure
"Ouch, that hurts! Mom, be gentle!"
In the room, Sun Boliang lay face down on the bed with a worried expression, while behind him, the old lady Zheng Hongmei was massaging his back with a bottle of safflower oil.
It was a little better when I first put on the plaster last night, but now that the effect has worn off, my lower back is starting to feel uncomfortable again.
So he had no choice but to shamelessly beg his mother to help him apply the medicine.
"Nonsense! Who told you to refuse to go to the hospital no matter how much I pleaded? You're so stubborn and suffer for it, you deserve it!"
With a sharp slap, the old lady gave him a slap on the back: "Alright! Just lie still, you're always causing trouble for me!"
"Ouch~"
Sun Bolang lay there, his face full of grievance, and cried out in pain, "Mom, I'm injured and you're still filming me!"
"Come on, you hurt your back, not your waist!"
The old lady couldn't help but roll her eyes at his pitiful look: "You're such a grown man, yet you act like a little kid."
"Hehe, no matter how old I am, I'm still your son."
Sun Boliang lay on the bed, twisting his neck with difficulty to turn his head and look at the old lady.
"Heh, I'd rather not have you as my son; life would be easier then."
The old lady wasn't buying it at all. With a cold laugh, she twisted the cap off the bottle of safflower oil and stood up, saying...
"Mom~"
Sun Bolang felt wronged. "Mom, how could you say that!"
The cry of "Mom" is tinged with countless twists and turns.
Before he could finish speaking, there was a loud bang outside, followed by a hurried and frantic voice coming in.
"Mom, is Bolang feeling better? Ranran came to see him and said she brought him some special medicine."
No sooner had she finished speaking than the door opened and Liu Huiying burst in like the wind.
"My dear grandson is here? Has he eaten yet? Oh no, I have to go to the kitchen to check."
Upon hearing that Sun Ran had arrived, Zheng Hongmei beamed with joy. She lifted her son's clothes to wipe her hands and then got up to walk towards the door.
Behind him, Sun Bolang lay on the bed, rolling his eyes.
So you're only concerned with doting on your grandson, while I have no rights as a son?
I'm a patient!
Mom, can't you show me a little more concern?!
What business is it of yours whether that brat has eaten or not!
"Hey, Uncle, how are you feeling? Your nephew has come to see you."
Sun Bolang was sulking when Sun Ran followed Liu Huiying in.
As soon as he entered, he put his basket on the ground, looked at him, and said with a sly grin.
Enraged, Sun Bolang rolled his eyes and turned to the corner, yelling, "What are you doing here, you brat?!"
My back is injured because of you, and you still have the nerve to come here?
"Ranran came to see you out of kindness, how can you talk to her like that?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Huiying walked over to him and glared at him irritably: "And he's been so concerned about your injury! I think you've been a disgrace to your position as an elder!"
"I……"
Sun Bolang felt incredibly wronged looking at her.
My mom is like this, and so is my wife...
I can't live like this anymore.
Finally, she simply turned her head and lay down on the pillow, sulking.
"Hehe, Uncle, I was just worried about you."
Seeing his sulking, Sun Ran couldn't help but chuckle. She walked over and sat down on the bedside. "How about I give you a massage?"
"I brought a miracle cure with me, guaranteed to cure you instantly!"
"No need! I just twisted it a little, it's nothing serious, it'll be fine in a few days."
Sun Bolang mumbled, his head resting on his pillow.
"What time is it? Still being stubborn?"
Liu Huiying, who was standing next to him, was also amused by his anger. How old is he? Why is he still arguing with his own nephew?
With a loud slap, another slap landed, hitting the exact spot where the old lady had just slapped.
"Ouch~"
Sun Bolang cried out in pain and turned to look at his wife with a face full of grievance.
Why do they all keep focusing on taking pictures of the same spot?
Liu Huiying rolled her eyes at him: "Ranran, just ignore him. The more you pay attention to him, the more excited he gets. Just treat him."
"Sure." Sun Ran chuckled, picked up the basket, rummaged through it a few times, and then finally put it away...
Then a pink Peppa Pig water bottle appeared in his hand.
"Honey, look! I told you he was just messing around. Isn't this clearly An'an's water bottle?"
Sun Bolang got angry as soon as he saw the small water bottle.
Wasn't it supposed to be some kind of miracle drug that could cure all diseases?
That's it?
Do you expect me to be like that little girl Sun An'an and coax her?
"That's right, Uncle, don't worry, it's guaranteed to work!"
Sun Ran nodded, raised his hand and twisted the lid of the teapot. A sweet fragrance wafted out and soon filled the entire room.
"It smells so good! This wild honey is really something else."
Liu Huiying sniffed after smelling the aroma and said something.
"Wild honey? That's utter nonsense! Who uses honey to cure back pain!"
Sun Bolang was furious when he heard this. "Is this supposed to be treating my back?"
They're preparing to marinate me!
"Ranran just searched online and showed it to me. Honey is a traditional Chinese medicine. Anyway, it won't hurt you to try it."
Liu Huiying glared at him, then turned to Sun Ran and waved her hand dismissively: "Ranran, don't worry about him, just focus on treating him!"
"I don't want him to treat me!" Sun Bolang shouted.
"Alright, Third Aunt!" Sun Ran chuckled.
Two voices rang out at the same time, and the uncle and nephew's eyes met.
Sun Ran raised his hand, poured some honey, and rubbed it in. Ignoring his uncle Sun Bolang's unwilling expression, he slapped it onto his waist.
My third aunt has spoken, how dare you object, uncle?
No way!
I press, I knead, I rub!
"Ouch, ouch, ouch! You brat, stop it right now!"
Sun Bolang suddenly felt a sharp, electric-like pain in his lower back, which startled him so much that he screamed.
He had only called out a couple of times when he suddenly froze.
Huh?
Why does my waist feel so warm?
It seems... quite comfortable?
In an instant, his pig-like screams dropped several pitches.
Then, not long after, the shouts changed again and began to turn into whimpers.
"Mmm, yes, yes, that's it, a little lower, hey, yes, rub it a couple more times..."
Looking at the look of enjoyment on his face, Liu Huiying couldn't help but roll her eyes again.
This deplorable character is beyond cure!
"Ranran, you massage him first, and your aunt will go to the kitchen to cook for your grandma."
She turned her head and her expression changed. She smiled and gave Sun Ran a word of advice before happily pushing open the door and walking out.
This nephew is really good; he's sensible and capable.
Yes, I need to put more effort into introducing him to potential partners.
Leaving aside how Liu Huiying got to help in the kitchen, let's talk about the uncle and nephew who were still treating their back injuries in this room...
Hey~
[Task completed, reward to be claimed]
As Sun Ran continued massaging, he felt the warmth in his hands gradually subside.
When the medicinal effects of the honey had almost dissipated, a soft sound was heard in my ear, and the mission was complete.
He was overjoyed. Sure enough, anything certified by the Golden Finger was a good thing, and it actually cured his illness.
"Uncle, how are you feeling? Are you feeling better?" He pulled his hands back and asked impatiently.
Rewards! Rewards!
Basic spell!
What does "pending collection" mean? Didn't they just hand it over before? The fishing rod needs to be taken from my uncle, but what about the spell?
"Hmm, okay...it seems alright. Hurry up and press harder, I want to feel it again..."
While Sun Ran was extremely anxious, Sun Boliang lay on the bed and let out a satisfied sigh.
He was about to compliment the honey on his lower back, but then he realized something was wrong.
I just said it was all nonsense. If I admit it now, where will I put my face?
No, I can't tell!
He changed his mind as soon as he was about to say it, and started to give his nephew a vague answer.
Sun Ran was taken aback.
Keep pressing?
good?
Now that all the tasks have been completed, have you fully recovered?
How come it's okay?
When he looked down again and saw the expression on his uncle Sun Bolang's face, all the question marks on his forehead turned into black lines.
So you're planning to continue enjoying yourself, sir?
Hmph, then don't blame me.
Snap!
With a push of the interlaced fingers, a cracking sound of bones breaking rang out.
He raised his hand, just about to use force to strike hard...
Creak~
With a soft sound, the door was pushed open.
"Ranran, how is your uncle?"
"It should be all better now..."
"Yeah?"
Liu Huiying smiled broadly at her nephew: "Ranran, thank you so much this time. Are you hungry? Let's go eat."
"After we finish eating, I'll take you to the storeroom. You can choose whichever fishing rod you like."
"Haha, thanks, San..."
"No way! What's so good about it? What's so good about it?!"
Before Sun Ran could finish his polite remark, he heard a hurried shout from behind him.
He and Liu Huiying were both taken aback and turned around to look.
Sun Bolang was standing at the head of the bed, his hands on his hips, staring at the two of them with an indignant expression.
What the hell? I haven't even agreed yet, how come you've already given away my fishing rod?
No, absolutely not!
"Hey, Bolang, your back is better now?! So fast?!"
Liu Huiying was stunned at first, then overjoyed.
"Uncle, are you alright now? Didn't you just say you wanted to keep massaging me?"
Sun Ran looked at him and asked with a half-smile, a hint of amusement in his eyes.
Sun Bolang was taken aback. He looked at his wife, then at his nephew, and finally looked down at himself...
He cried out in pain and lay back down, clutching his back.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch, my back is killing me..."
