Mother Xie swallowed the pill, and soon a warm power began to flow through her legs. A piercing cold seemed to retreat; she could even feel an icy layer around her calves dispersing outward.
The dull pain was slowly fading away.
"It works, it really works!" Mother Xie exclaimed with joy.
Xie Yunzai's eyes moistened; he deeply understood how much suffering his mother's legs had brought her. In the past, no matter the medicine, nothing ever worked.
He stood up abruptly, "This, we can't just take your medicine for free. How much is it? We'll pay."
Xu Qinghuan waved her hand, "It just offsets the price of the house. I know roughly what the house sells for, and it's fate that brought us together; I feel embarrassed taking advantage. I indeed don't have enough money, and you need the pills too; it's a win-win situation."
"Comrade Xu, why don't you stay here for dinner?" Mother Xie was sincerely grateful.
