Chapter 78: Treat Yourself Like Entertainment

s in a flash, leaving no sound behind.He stealthily crept down to the foot of the mountain and got close to where these people were stationed.Two soldiers were chatting while guarding duty."Big brothe...Fang Jinxiu was daydreaming when she heard her mother-in-law's call. She immediately picked up the small stool from under her and moved it to sit beside her.

Seeing the handkerchief in Mu's hand, she was so shocked her eyes almost popped out.

"Mother, your embroidery skills are amazing." she exclaimed in admiration.

The pattern on the patch wasn't complicated or flashy, just a simple orchid. But its reverse side was surprisingly different.

Grandma just casually whipped out a double-sided embroidery piece!

"Goodness, this orchid embroidery is so realistic! And it even has both sides of the colors."

"Mom, you're amazing."

Perhaps no one had ever praised Mu Shi with such genuine and enthusiastic words before. She was so embarrassed that she smiled shyly, her ears turning a bit red from shyness.

"Look at you, girl. It's just an orchid, nothing as wonderful as you say."

Fang Jinxiu solemnly, once again solemnly, and yet again solemnly affirmed Mrs. Mu.

"No, Mother, look into my sincere eyes, you'll know I'm telling the truth."

"It's really beautiful."

She found it strange that someone with such good embroidery skills as the Mu family would live such a life.

This embroidery could sell for a good price at the market.

"Mother, has no one ever told you before that your embroidery skills are amazing" she tentatively asked.

Mu's expression immediately became two parts more despondent, and even her smile dimmed considerably.

"Yeah, no one has ever praised me like this before."

"A woman usually sews to make or repair clothes for her family. I learned this embroidery skill when I was a young girl at home. My mother hired a master for me."

"After marrying into the Zong family, my mother-in-law thought I was hiding in the house embroidering to shirk my duties and even said my embroidery was terrible."

She threw away all my embroidery, and since then I have never touched them again.

"Besides mending children's clothes."

As Mu spoke, a bitter expression crossed his face.

Fang Jinshi almost rolled her eyes again, it was the old woman from the Zong family once more. The precious treasure was right before her eyes, yet she couldn't see its value

But then again, it's good that she doesn't know their value. If she found out that her mother-in-law's embroidery could sell for a lot of money, with the way those money-grubbing relatives from her husband's family are, they'd squeeze every penny out of her mother-in-law.

"Mother, you can embroider whatever you like from now on. I think your embroidery is particularly good."

"If you'd like, I and Zongyu can take the repaired embroidery out to sell. Someone is sure to like it and buy it."

Mu was too insecure. She didn't believe her embroidery could actually make money.

"Would anyone really like my embroidery enough to buy it"

"Of course, if it were me, I would buy it."

A splash of brilliant scenery now graced the pure white handkerchief, this orchid was truly embroidered with lifelike vibrancy.

However, considering Mu's health, she hurriedly added.

"Mother, please don't get excited. Embroidery strains your eyes, you must absolutely not damage your eyesight just to earn a little more money."

"I bought these threads and these scraps just so you could pass the time."

"Just treat it as a recreational activity, the most important thing is to take care of your health first."

As she spoke, she remembered the medicine she had boiled for Mrs. Mu earlier that morning; it should be cool by now. She went into the house and brought it out.

This medicine was brewed by her using spring water, so it's naturally incredibly effective.

After eating the medicine for only two or three days, Mu's breathing sounds became noticeably less labored, and his coughing episodes decreased significantly.

As for diet, it has also seen significant improvement. As long as nutrition keeps up and Mu's body is properly regulated, it's just a matter of time before she recovers.

She finished the medicine in one gulp. Most traditional Chinese medicines were very bitter, and Mu had been drinking them for years, so she was used to the bitterness.

But recently, after drinking the medicine decocted by her daughter-in-law, she felt that the medicine was not only not bitter but also had a faint sweetness.

Before, she always felt nauseous and wanted to vomit after taking her medicine. Now, she even looks forward to each meal with the medicine, and feels a bit unsatisfied after finishing it.

"Jinxiu, the medicine you brewed is much better than that stinky boy Zongyu's. It's not bitter at all."

"Did you put sugar in it"oon as she got there, and shortly after, the chamberlain brought someone back.Zong Yu was so anxious to see his daughter-in-law that he wanted to confirm she was really safe and sound.Out of respect,...
