Chapter 501: The Effect of the Nourishment Pill (1)
After Jiang Duo received the Nourishment Pills, he was unable to understand how this thing was worth so much money, no matter how he looked at it.
Even if the bottle’s packaging looked pretty cla.s.sy.
Jiang Duo pursed his lips and was prepared to ask Yunfeng himself when he came to get it.
As soon as Jiang Duo got home, he saw his father’s dark face and his mother’s worried appearance. His grandfather had been coughing non-stop for the past few days from a chronic illness. The doctor’s final diagnosis had been that if Old Master Jiang was still throwing up whatever he ate, they would have to prepare for his funeral this month.
Ever since then, his father’s face hadn’t improved at all. He even directly froze the money on Jiang Duo’s card, using the reason that Jiang Duo wasn’t allowed to fool around!
Jiang Duo didn’t understand; all he was doing was eating, playing games, and racing cars with his friends; how could this be called fooling around? If it wasn’t for his mother’s worried appearance, Jiang Duo wouldn’t have been able to stop himself from fighting back.
Of course, it wasn’t that he wasn’t worried about his grandfather. He had even specially visited the most famous doctors in the capital and given them his grandfather’s diagnosis report for a look. It was just that when he received the same answer, Jiang Duo felt terrible.
As soon as Father Jiang saw his son’s heedless and reluctant expression, his anger surged. “You rascal, why are you back so late? If you dare let me find out that you were racing cars again, I’ll break your legs!”
Jiang Duo hated how his father treated him like a wastrel the most. He was about to retort, when Old Master Jiang coughed and exhorted, “Okay, don’t lecture Ah Duo. This child gets it; it’s just that he doesn’t know how to express himself!”
Jiang Duo flushed at Grandpa Jiang’s words, but Father Jiang saw that his father didn’t stop coughing after he spoke.
It sounded like he was going to hack out his lungs; Father Jiang looked worried.
Grandpa Jiang had raised Father Jiang himself, so the latter was very filial. Seeing that the old man didn’t stop coughing, Father Jiang was displeased with his son again. He hadn’t seen any improvement in this kid over the years. He immediately instructed Jiang Duo in a cold voice, “Brat, pour me a cup of water!”
Mother Jiang subconsciously protected her son and wanted to help pour the water.
Father Jiang said coldly, “Does the kid not have hands? Do you want him to fall? It’s like they say, a loving mother spoils the son. I shouldn’t have let you indulge this kid back then. All he knows to do is eat and play all day long. Has he ever taken anything seriously?”
Mother Jiang was the typical gentle woman who valued her husband above all else. When she heard Father Jiang’s words, she immediately stopped and didn’t dare retort.
“If you have something to say about me, say it. Why drag my mother into it? I’m also worried about Grandpa being sick. Dad, can you not be so unreasonable?”
Jiang Duo couldn’t stand it anymore.
On the side, Grandpa Jiang wanted to appease them, but just as he opened his mouth, he coughed harder and harder. Father Jiang was worried. He was afraid for his father now.
He could only suppress his anger for the moment, and said to his son, “Go upstairs and get your grandfather’s medicine!”
Jiang Duo looked at his father, who treated him like a hedonistic son of a wealthy family, and then at the old man, whose face was especially bad and who never stopped coughing. For some reason, he suddenly thought of when he had fought to buy that thing. The effects, as written on the bottle, included fever, dry throat and cough relief, and longevity; they were especially good for the body.
His head throbbed, and he immediately slammed the Nourishment Pills he had just bought down on the table and said to Father Jiang, “I specially bought this medicine for Grandpa. He’ll definitely be fine tomorrow after eating it!”
