Southern Wind

The Xiao family, known as the poorest amongst the mountaineers had just spent all their savings as dowry for a daughter-in-law, who was disfigured, dark, skinny, and mute. Mocked as the ugliest bride within miles, she eventually had enough of a life in poverty and escaped, only to fall in the hands of rogues who murdered her. 

When she opened her eyes again, her soul was now that of a killer's, and her disfigurement was healed while her unhealthily tanned skin was now fair as day.... And she could also talk! As she became the most beautiful bride. Villagers kept their distance from the Xiao family, claiming that they were jinxes. But despite her poverty, the bride was fortunate to have a loyal mountaineer husband who spoiled her to bits. Hence, the bride guided her husband to riches, buying farms and tending to them diligently, while starting a family to gain riches through blood and sweat.

The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man

Upon meeting her confirming gaze, Xiao Qinghe, who was initially a bit nervous, calmed down. He gestured to the middle-aged man at the front of the line, "Please take a seat."


The middle-aged man sat in the chair opposite Xiao Qinghe, across the table. Qinghe inquired, "What seems to be the trouble?"


"These past few days, my throat has been dry and sore, and I keep coughing up phlegm. I feel nauseous and like retching when I get up in the morning," the middle-aged man explained.


"Please extend your hand onto the table so I may check your pulse."


With two fingers, Xiao Qinghe felt the middle-aged man's pulse. After diagnosing him and examining his mouth, he lifted his pen and wrote a prescription on paper, "You have chronic pharyngitis. I've written you a prescription; you can get your medicine at the counter."


"So there's no need to pay a consultation fee or medicine money?"
