Chapter 2257

"I learned it from Mom," Yan Aohan said with a smile. "When you weren't here, Mom always gave me the pine flowers sent from Sicheng Town every year. She told me to save them for you, so you could eat them when you returned."

Zhu Yanyi nodded. "I know. Mom and Dad miss me, and I miss everyone too. That’s why I worked so hard at my cultivation these years. Now, I’ve finally graduated successfully."

Yan Aohan smiled gently. "It was lucky for you to have the Medicine Bodhi. Otherwise, I’m not sure if you could have returned after breaking through to the Dongxu realm."

"Breaking through to Dongxu was really a surprise," Zhu Yanyi said. "I didn’t expect my progress to be so fast. But mental cultivation happens naturally. You can’t force it, so there was no way to stop it."

"I know it was an accident, which is why I didn’t say much," Yan Aohan replied. "And since you later got the Medicine Bodhi, there’s even less need to worry about it."

Zhu Yanyi asked, "Do you think I should set up a clinic, or go around looking for patients myself?"

"I can’t really say which is better," Yan Aohan said. "It doesn’t matter if you sit in a clinic or visit patients. I believe you can do either well. Since that’s the case, there’s nothing to worry about. You are a doctor. Where you go doesn’t matter. What matters is bringing hope to your patients."

Zhu Yanyi thought for a moment. "Then I’ll rotate through hospitals across the country. I’ll start with Sicheng Town. I’ll stay at each hospital for one month, then move to the next. I want to bring hope to patients all over the country."

"That works," Yan Aohan nodded. "But that means you’ll be facing that 'Saint Hand' again."

Zhu Yanyi raised an eyebrow. "Honestly, I’m looking forward to facing her. Tell me, what’s there to worry about with just an old man? She calls herself a Saint Doctor, but I think she just needs a beating."

Yan Aohan chuckled softly. "Alright, let’s wash the dishes together."

"Okay." Zhu Yanyi happily went to the kitchen with Yan Aohan.

That night, Zhu Yanyi felt very happy and satisfied.

As the saying goes, "Gold nests and silver nests are not as good as your own dog kennel." It was true. Zhu Yanyi never treated herself poorly anywhere, but at this moment, she truly felt relaxed.

Yan Aohan looked at Zhu Yanyi, who was sleeping deeply beside him. His eyes were full of tenderness. It had been more than two years. Finally, his wife was back by his side. He felt incredibly fulfilled.

The next day, Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan went to the Yan family home to visit Grandpa Yan and Grandma Yan.

The old couple knew Zhu Yanyi was coming back, but they were still surprised to see her.

"You just came back. Why did you buy so many things?" Grandma Yan looked at the table full of gifts Zhu Yanyi had brought and said helplessly.

Zhu Yanyi smiled. "These things are suitable for Mom and Dad. Please don’t save them. I have plenty of these things. Also, Dad, let me check your pulse."

Zhu Yanyi walked straight to Grandpa Yan and took his pulse. "Dad, your body is a bit weak. I remember when I left a few years ago, your health was good. And I left you the recipe for medicinal meals. Why is your body suddenly so weak?"

Zhu Yanyi looked at Grandpa Yan. "Dad, what about the health pills I gave you? Did you really take them yourself?"

Grandpa Yan paused and lowered his head, looking a bit guilty.

Grandma Yan and Yan Aohan immediately understood. Grandma Yan got angry. "If you don’t want to live, just say so! Why didn’t you take the health pills? And if you didn’t take them, why did the number of pills decrease every day?"

Grandpa Yan hurriedly explained, "It’s not that I didn’t take them. I saw the other old fellows in that condition, and I couldn’t bear it, so I gave them some."

"How many people did you give them to?" Zhu Yanyi asked. "I had Aohan send them regularly every year. Even if you gave some away, there should have been enough for you."

Zhu Yanyi knew this would happen. She had encountered this before, so she always sent extra. But it still happened.

Grandpa Yan said quickly, "Besides, some people wanted to study them, so they asked for some." Grandpa Yan felt truly embarrassed. These were gifts from his daughter-in-law. he knew her medical skills were excellent and her medicines were rare. But he couldn’t refuse some institutions because of old friendships.

Zhu Yanyi frowned slightly and looked at Yan Aohan. She didn’t want to get angry at Grandpa Yan over this.

Yan Aohan didn’t care about that. He said calmly, "Dad, I told you before. You can’t give Ani’s things to others. You seem to have forgotten."

"I didn’t forget. They just wanted to study them to make more pills," Grandpa Yan explained quickly. "I thought it was a good idea. Making more pills could help more people."

"When did you become so naive?" Grandma Yan couldn’t stand it. She rolled up her sleeves, looking ready to fight. "You old fool! If I don’t beat you for three days, you’ll tear the roof off again, won’t you?"

Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan were speechless. When Grandma Yan got angry, they really couldn’t say anything.

Zhu Yanyi had to speak up. "What institution was it? Aohan, investigate it. If they took my things, I want them to give them back."

Yan Aohan nodded. "I’ll have the results in half an hour."

Zhu Yanyi waited until Grandma Yan and Grandpa Yan had calmed down a bit before speaking. "Mom, Dad, the health pills I gave you are suitable for you. Others might get a little effect, but not much. My pills are personalized—one pill for one person. So even if an institution took them, they won’t be able to study anything useful from them."

Grandma Yan asked, "So nothing bad will happen?"

"No," Zhu Yanyi said calmly. "But I’m not worried about that. I’m worried that someone might use these pills and claim they developed a health product based on my formula. If that harms people’s health, it would be bad."

Grandpa Yan got anxious. "Then investigate it quickly! This can’t happen."

"Dad, don’t worry. Maybe they just wanted to know the ingredients. I’m only guessing slightly. There’s nothing else to it," Zhu Yanyi said with a smile.

But Grandpa Yan didn’t think so. He believed it was better to be careful. "We still need to investigate."
