Back home.
Xu Lang started preparing the medicine following Lu Jiu's method, and after more than half an hour,
the licorice decoction was ready. After three bowls of water had been boiled down to one, Xu Lang poured the herbal medicine into a bowl.
Once the decoction had cooled down a bit, Xu Lang carried the bowl to the bedside and handed it to his wife.
Initially thinking that the herbal medicine's smell would be unpleasant and that his mother-in-law would strongly resist, Xu Lang was surprised that when his wife fed her, the mother-in-law showed no expression of distaste and certainly did not enjoy it either.
This shows that when a person is ill, there is always some hope pinned on the medication.
The bitterness was nothing compared to the discomfort.
Shortly after, once the bowl of herbal medicine was consumed, his mother-in-law continued to lie down until the evening when Xu Lang began preparing the Kushen Decoction for his wife to use for her mother-in-law's bath.
