Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 689

Chapter 689: Doctor Xie’s Oath
As the rooster crows, Lu Jueyu wakes up and finds her husband sleeping next to her. After tying her hair, she went to the kitchen to boil water.

When she went to the chicken coop to get eggs, she saw three large jars behind the kitchen. Remembering her husband’s words, she walked over and opened the lids.

There were many crabs, tied with twine but still alive, clams, mussels, and scallops in the jar. Another jar was filled with shrimp, snails, abalone, and sea urchins. The last jar was filled with octopus and squid.

Looking at the seafood, Lu Jueyu smiled and put the jars into her own space. As soon as the jars enter the space, the seafood goes directly into the warehouse and is arranged according to type. The seafood is all registered in the space store as new items, and she can buy a pond if she wants to raise it.

The next moment, she heard a knock on the door in the front yard. Staring at the dark sky, she wondered who might visit at dawn.

With curiosity, she came to the front yard. When she reached the door, she asked, “Who is it?”

“Girl, It’s me, Doctor Xie.”

Hearing that it was Doctor Xie, Lu Jueyu opened the door. Seeing the old man sweating profusely, she asked in surprise, “Doctor Xie, has something happened?”

Seeing his pale lips, she stepped aside and said, “Doctor Xie, please come in first. We can go in and talk.”

Doctor Xie wiped his sweat, walked into the room, and said, “Girl, I’m here to ask you something.”

“Doctor Xie, please tell me.” Lu Jueyu said.

After hesitating for a moment, Doctor Xie said, “Girl, you were born with congenital heart disease, but when I checked your pulse last time, I found that you have fully recovered.”

When Lu Jueyu heard his words, her eyes flashed for a moment and then returned to normal. She looked at him and said with a smile, “Doctor Xie, you must be mistaken. Although I was born frail, there is nothing wrong with my heart.”

Doctor Xie knew that she would never admit it, because it would bring her trouble if others found out about it. But when he knew his granddaughter had a chance of making a full recovery, he couldn’t stand idly by.

So, he looked at Lu Jueyu and said, “Girl, I know, this is your secret. But, I beg you to tell me what medicine you are using. I finally found my granddaughter after so many years, and I can’t let her suffer from congenital disease and do nothing.”

After speaking, he bent down and bowed deeply to her.

Seeing this scene, Lu Jueyu was stunned for a moment. She quickly stopped him and said, “Doctor Xie, what are you doing?”

“Girl, please save my granddaughter. Whatever you want me to do, I’m willing to do it and pay any price.” Doctor Xie kept bowing and said firmly.

Seeing him like this, Lu Jueyu was silent for a long time, and finally sighed and said, “Okay. I will tell you.”

After hearing her words, Doctor Xie straightened up and said, “Girl, I’m sorry for forcing you, but you are my only hope now.”

Lu Jueyu looked into his eyes, which contained hope, worry, embarrassment, and sincerity. She knew how proud this old man was. His granddaughter must be so important to him that he can even bow to her and beg her.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Jueyu said, “Doctor Xie, last year I accidentally discovered a 500-year-old ginseng in the mountains. I ground it into powder and stored it. When I feel unwell, I mix a pinch of ginseng powder with water every day and drink it. At that time, I only drank it to nourish my body. Unexpectedly, my congenital disease would be completely cured after several months.”

“I can give you the ginseng powder, but you must swear on your granddaughter’s name that you will never let anyone know about this. Otherwise, your granddaughter will face a fate worse than death,” she added solemnly.

Doctor Xie was stunned for a moment when he heard her request. Although many people don’t believe in superstition now, he still believes it. Therefore, Doctor Xie was a little hesitant about whether to make a vow in his granddaughter’s name.

But when he saw Lu Jueyu’s eyes, he knew that if he refused to swear, he would not be able to get the medicine. So, after a moment of hesitation, he nodded and said, “I swear in the name of my granddaughter that I will never let anyone know about this. If I violate my oath, my granddaughter will face a fate worse than death.”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a rumble of thunder in the sky. At this moment, Doctor Xie had a feeling that if he violated his oath, his granddaughter would really face divine punishment.

“Doctor Xie, please wait for me in the living room,” Lu Jueyu said with a sigh.

Doctor Xie went to the living room while Lu Jueyu went to the kitchen and took out a jar of ginseng powder and a packet of spiritual herb powder from the space.

Now that Doctor Xie has sworn, Lu Jueyu believes that he will never tell anyone about this matter. So this time, she mixed ginseng powder and the spiritual herb powder in a 50-50 ratio.

After she was done, she came to the living room and handed the jar to Doctor Xie, “Doctor Xie, this is all the ginseng powder I have now. This should be enough for your granddaughter for a few months.”

“Remember, you can only feed her a pinch of the ginseng powder every day. Consuming too much of it can make her condition worse,” she reminded him seriously.

Doctor Xie took the jar with trembling hands and said, “Girl, I will never forget your kindness today. I will definitely repay you in the future.”
