Chapter 512: Huanglian Ejiao Soup
Chapter 512: Huanglian Ejiao Soup
Mrs. Wolfhard was a little embarrassed that she was not as mature as a child in adult matters, so she tried her best to overcome her inner discomfort and act as calmly as possible.
"The last time... was about half a year ago... We didn't do it that often. We're an old married couple now and have lost interest in that kind of thing..." Mrs. Wolfhard looked nonchalant.
However, thirty is like a wolf, forty is like a tiger. As long as Dad is at home, Mom always looks radiant and lazy.
Xu Weiwei didn't say it out loud, but instead explained to Mrs. Wolfhard the importance of a normal sex life.
"Our bodies are controlled by hormones. Substances such as endorphins and dopamine produced during sex can make people feel happy, relaxed and satisfied. They can also strengthen the nervous system, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular system, and respiratory system, and improve endocrine."
"On the contrary, if there is no sex life for a long time in a couple's relationship, the emotional needs and psychological desires of the person will not be met, which will cause anxiety, irritability and other emotions, and may also lead to prolonged or shortened menstruation and reduced menstrual flow, affecting physical and mental health."
Mrs. Wolfhard felt that her past had been exposed and laid bare before her eyes, and she was extremely embarrassed.
But having said that, she stopped pretending and complained angrily and angrily, "What can I do?"
"Although I have a husband in name, I have been living like a widow for so many years! A widow can still remarry! This bastard only knows how to occupy my husband's name, and I can't even remarry... He might as well die out there!" Mrs. Wolfhard said viciously, tears welling up in her eyes quickly.
Xu Weiwei hurriedly handed her a tissue, but how could she contain the emotions and resentment that had accumulated over the years suddenly having an outlet?
By the end of her crying, Mrs. Wolfhard was like a little girl again. She didn't care about her image or face, and curled up on the sofa and hugged herself.
Xu Weiwei stopped trying to persuade her and just sat beside her and patted her on the back.
Cry, cry, it’s good to vent.
After five or six minutes, Mrs. Wolfhard's tears gradually stopped and she began to sob. She realized belatedly that she was embarrassed.
"I'm sorry, Wei'er, I made you laugh."
Xu Weiwei shook her head: "You worry too much, I don't find it funny."
Mrs. Wolfhard was startled.
"It would be very rude to say it out loud. As a young person, I shouldn't discuss the right and wrong of my elders, but I still feel that... Uncle is sorry for you."
"As an elite of the empire, he is admirable, but when it comes to family, he is an incompetent husband." Xu Weiwei looked at Mrs. Wolfhard and said boldly.
Being busy should not be a reason to neglect family members. She has always agreed with Mr. Lu Xun's famous saying: "Time is like water in a sponge. As long as you are willing to squeeze it, there will always be some."
Especially when there is comparison.
As the leader of the imperial army, my father also had to balance the family business while being rooted in politics. He managed to strike a good balance.
She was not questioning her uncle's love for her aunt, but love and responsibility are two different things. To see whether a gardener is doing his job, you don't have to worry about how much effort they put in, just look at the roses they grow.
The tears that Mrs. Wolfhard had wiped away with great difficulty burst into tears again, but this time they were tears of emotion.
“Weier~~~~~~~~!”
She couldn't help but bury her face in Xu Weiwei's shoulder, hugged her and cried loudly.
At this moment, she was truly understood.
Finn was a typical good heir and filial, but he couldn't understand her feelings. She was such a strong person and never thought of telling others about her predicament.
If she hadn't been "touched out" today, she might have lived in depression for the rest of her life, and might even die suddenly from running out of breath at any time.
What she lacks is not simple sex, but companionship and love.
"Alright, alright, don't cry..."
The tissues on the table and the floor were crumpled into balls. Mrs. Wolfhard blew her nose hard several times, and finally took a deep breath and exhaled.
"My insomnia...is there any other solution? I can't count on that dead man."
"Yes, of course." Xu Weiwei gave him confidence in a firm tone.
"There is a Chinese herbal decoction, Huanglian Ejiao Decoction, which is specifically used to nourish yin, reduce internal heat, relieve restlessness and calm the mind. But..."
Mrs. Wolfhard was choked by Xu Weiwei's "just" before she could even feel happy. "Just what?"
"This decoction contains five kinds of Chinese herbs: coptis root, scutellaria root, white peony root, egg yolk and donkey-hide gelatin. Currently, only coptis root is available."
"Egg yolk and donkey-hide gelatin are ready, but Scutellaria baicalensis and white peony root have to wait for some time." Xu Weiwei said with some guilt.
It just happened to be included in the batch of herbs that Finn sent over, but there was only one plant of each, and she wanted to keep it as the mother plant. She couldn't be expected to "kill the goose that lays the golden eggs."
Mrs. Wolfhard was very open-minded: "It's fine as long as it can be cured. I'll just have to wait. I've been suffering from insomnia for so many years. It won't take long for it to be cured. In fact, I feel much better now that I've talked about it."
"That's good. I will make sure you take the medicine within half a year at most." Xu Weiwei promised.
Mrs. Wolfhard: ...I didn't think it would take this long.
"Hehe." Xu smiled awkwardly, "Of course! I didn't do nothing during this period. In addition to taking medicine, acupuncture and massage can also relieve it."
"I will give you some moxibustion now, and I guarantee you will have a good sleep tonight."
"Oh--"
Mrs. Wolfhard nodded blankly and watched Xu Weiwei taking out her stuff.
In fact, she didn't understand a lot of what she said, she just responded in cooperation. But when she saw Xu Weiwei unfold the row of needles, she finally lost her composure.
"This, this, this, this won't do!!! So 'zhen jiu' means this 'needle'? This, this I can't stand..." Mrs. Wolfhard even stood up and backed away, waving her hands.
"..."
I miscalculated. I shouldn't have shown it to her.
Sighing, Xu Weiwei called out: "Finn——"
The reassuring sound of footsteps came closer and closer, and soon, the person reappeared in the living room.
Xu Weiwei said nothing, but showed the needle in her hand. Finn understood instantly, walked over, held his mother's shoulders, pushed her to sit on the sofa, and then covered her eyes.
Mrs. Wolfhard was "captured" before she could even react, and she was still in a daze. When she tried to struggle, she heard another warning.
"Don't move. The needle has already been inserted. If you move, the needle will shift out of place and may even get broken inside. It will be extremely painful then." Xu Weiwei threatened deliberately.
Mrs. Wolfhard immediately froze up, too frightened to move. She let Xu Weiwei manipulate her like a puppet. On her head, arms, hands...
Without even looking, Mrs. Wolfhard could imagine her current appearance. She must be like a "puppet" used by an evil wizard to perform magic, with needles pierced all over it for curses.
