Zhou Suhua’s last words had an especially strong tone.

Wang Meifeng had been married into the Yang Family for over seven years, during which she never argued with her mother-in-law. However, this time, both the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law showed some firmness.

“I’m sorry, mom. Please forgive me, 1 can’t listen to you this time.” Wang Meifeng bowed slightly towards Zhou Suhua and began to walk towards the door.

Even if there was only a one percent chance of hope, she was determined to keep feeding the medicine to Wang Guobao.

She couldn’t let her child’s world lose its light.

Ever since he started taking the medicine, Yang Guobao’s condition had been really good, he was very positive and optimistic.

So this time, Wang Meifeng chose to believe in Ni Yang and herself.

“Wang Meifeng!” Zhou Suhua roared angrily, with her shoulders shaking.

“Mom.” Wang Meifeng turned around calmly, looking at Zhou Suhua. “If anything does happen to Guobao, 1 am willing to pay with my life. Is that acceptable?”

Words dropped, Wang Meifeng turned back and walked into the kitchen as if nothing had happened, beckoning Yang Guobao to come take his medicine.

At this stage, Zhou Suhua was at a loss for words, so she picked up an antique vase in anger and smashed it hard onto the floor.

There was a clatter as shards flew everywhere.

Yang Guobao, who was drinking his medicine, was frightened and shivered. He looked helplessly at Wang Meifeng, “Mom, what’s wrong with grandma?”

Wang Meifeng laughed lightly, “Perhaps the grandma is a little upset. You go cheer her up for a bit when you finish your medicine.”

“Ok.” Yang Guobao nodded and said in a very sensible manner. “I will go after finishing my medicine.”

“Alright.” Wang Meifeng nodded with a slight smile.

Just then, Zhou Suhua’s voice echoed in the air, “Wang Meifeng, if anything happens to my grandson, 1 will never let you off!”

What an outrage, she was completely outrageous!

Wang Meifeng simply was not fit to be a mother.

She had no idea what that barefoot doctor with no reputation had given Wang Meifeng, that she had so much trust in her!

Zhou Suhua was shaking with anger.

Because of Wang Meifeng’s stubbornness, the entire in-laws house isolated Wang Meifeng. Her husband, Yang Changzheng, was also not very willing to talk to her.

Mother-in-law Zhou Suhua even threatened to fast to manipulate Wang Meifeng.

With no other options, Wang Meifeng decided to take Yang Guobao to her mother’s rural house to avoid further escalation of the conflict.

Seeing Wang Meifeng’s determination, Yang Changzheng sighed in anxiety, “Meifeng, Doctor Wang is an Imperial Doctor. Why are you so stubborn? Guobao’s body is already frail, your going back and forth will only worsen his condition!”

Zhou Suhua angrily said, “Let her go! One day she’ll be crying to come back begging us!”

On that same day, Wang Meifeng took Yang Guobao back to her mother’s house in the countryside.

Yang Guobao liked it there, he and Wang Meifeng said their goodbyes and he headed straight for Ni Yang’s house.

Wang Meifeng initially wanted to follow, but remembering that Yang Guobao hadn’t had a flare up in several days and that a child also needs his freedom, she decided not to. Besides, Ni Yang’s house was not too far away from here.

When Yang Guobao arrived, Ni Yang was concentrating on something she was writing at the stone table under a big tree in the yard.

It was a huge Osmanthus tree, the leaves were very dense, blocking out the intense sun and bringing a cool breeze. In this scorching summer, sitting under the big tree was even more comfortable than sitting in an air-conditioned room.

“Sister.” Yang Guobao trotted up to Ni Yang.

At his words, Ni Yang looked up in surprise, “Guobao, how come you’re here?”

Yang Guobao replied with a smile, “Because 1 missed my sister, so I came.”

Ni Yang reached out and poked Yang Guobao’s head, “You little imp! Look at you, sweating so much. Here, have a drink.” Ni Yang poured him a cup of tea.

Yang Guobao picked up the cup and drank all the tea in one go, wiping his mouth with his sleeve. “Thank you, sister.” He said before turning his eyes towards the paper on Ni Yang’s table. “Sister, what are you drawing?”

Ni Yang smiled slightly, “A blueprint.”

“Blueprint?” Yang Guobao stroked his chin, then said, “Sister, are you in the architectural field too? My cousin often has to draw blueprints.”

“No,” Ni Yang shook her head, “It’s a blueprint for an oven.”

“An oven?” Yang Guobao kept stroking his chin, “Is it used to bake bread? Sister, 1 love bread!” His eyes shone enthusiastically with his last sentence.

In 1983, bread was still a novelty. It was not as common and there weren’t as many ways to eat it as in later generations, moreover, it was quite expensive.

The common people generally didn’t look forward to eating it. Its price was much higher than that of a steamed bun. One bread could buy you ten steamed buns!

Ni Yang gave him a mysterious smile, “You’ll know once it’s done.”

Yang Guobao asked with a grin, “Can I help sister make it?”

Ni Yang reached out and touched his head, laughing, “Sure.”

Making a bread oven was neither simple nor complicated, the key was to put the heart into it.

The oven had three layers.

Heat conduction layer – Clay and Sand.

Insulation layer – Discarded Glass bottles + Sawdust + Mud.

Structural layer – Rice straw mud ball.

Ni Yang had all the materials prepared.

To build an oven, you first need to pile up bricks and rocks into a tall platform. The platform is usually hollow, to store dry wood underneath. Once the platform is built, you can start making the oven.

The oven is usually semi-circular but can also be shaped like small animals.

This was Yang Guobao’s first time engaging in such an activity, he was obviously very excited and was chattering non-stop.

With an efficient little helper, Ni Yang felt much relieved. The platform was quickly set up.

Though Ni Yang was a girl, she was not inferior to a man in physical labor.

Even some men were inferior to her.

Under the sun, she sat concentrating and earnestly striking rocks with a chisel. The warm sunlight dyed her with a dazzling glow, a strand of hair slipped mischievously from behind her ear, forming a sharp contrast with her fair skin. The collision of black and white was breathtakingly beautiful.

Yang Guobao stood there, watching Ni Yang for a while, before he finally exclaimed, “Sister, you are so beautiful.”

Ni Yang smiled lightly, struck the last brick onto the platform, poked Yang Guobao’s head and said earnestly, “Actually, your sister is a fairy from the heavens, do you think a fairy could not be beautiful?”

Yang Guobao:He almost believed her!

After the platform was built, they started mixing mud.

Just then, Yang Guobao suddenly smudged a bit of mud onto Ni Yang’s face, playfully saying, “The fairy turned into a little kitten!”

Ni Yang was no pushover. As soon as Yang Guobao was not paying attention, she swiftly smeared some mud onto his face, giggling, “Ha ha, Guobao also turned into a little kitten!”

“Then sister is a big cat!”
