Don't mention how tired Lao Fan was, Lin Yuan was also exhausted from the chase, but only upon hearing Lao Fan's words did she suddenly snap back to reality. She had been too focused on how unpleasant the old man's words were and hadn't fully considered that he had accurately diagnosed Lady Liu's illness with just a glance. The old man was right; her mother fell ill because she wanted to give her father a son, so she followed others' advice and consumed all sorts of remedies to conceive a child. Although she eventually had a son, he died young due to congenital deficiencies.
Could it be that this old man was not just a foodie but actually possessed some real skills?
Lin Yuan was uncertain and still asked with irritation, "Do you think I'll believe you just because you're spouting nonsense? Maybe you just heard some gossip from the villagers? Who in the village doesn't know that my mother took numerous folk remedies to have a son?"
