Aerobics appeared easy and interesting when watching other people doing it.
Old Mrs. Zheng also thought so.
After spending two hours in the Ruyu Center, Old Mrs. Zheng decided to live more youthfully and treat herself better. Only then could she be fit enough to carry her great-grandchildren in the future.
Zhao Chuchu determined a strict diet plan for Old Mrs. Zheng based on her body’s condition.
“Old Mrs. Zheng, is there anyone around you who you will listen to?” Zhao Chuchu asked. Old Mrs. Zheng’s character was rather childlike. If no one could handle her, this diet plan would be a waste of time.
Mrs. Ge immediately pulled out a mammy from behind Old Mrs. Zheng and said, “Mrs. Xie, you can leave it to Mammy Li. She can handle my mother.”
Mammy Li bowed and asked, “Mrs. Xie, what are your orders?”
“You can just tell me. It is the same,” Old Mrs. Zheng said hurriedly.
Mrs. Ge said, “My mother likes to snack in secret. Only Mammy Li can keep an eye on her.”
Old Mrs. Zheng retorted, “What do you mean snack in secret? How can you expose me like that?”
Mrs. Ge responded, “Before this, those physicians instructed you countless times to eat fewer sweets. When have you ever listened to them?”
Old Mrs. Zheng felt guilty.
When Zhao Chuchu saw this exchange, she passed the diet plan she had written to Mammy Li and instructed, “Mammy Li, you can prepare Old Mrs. Zheng’s meals according to this plan. Aside from that, she can occasionally eat some of the snacks I listed at the very bottom, but only in small quantities.” Mammy Li inspected the list carefully, asking Zhao Chuchu about parts she did not quite understand.
Zhao Chuchu explained everything to her patiently.
Once Old Mrs. Zheng heard this, she immediately regretted her decision. She said, “Mrs. Xie, why don’t we forget about this? Eating every day like this will kill me.”
“Old Mrs. Zheng, the rule of the Ruyu Center is that you cannot quit once you start.”
“What about if I forfeit my money?”
“It is still the same.”
Could she do that?
Old Mrs. Zheng slapped her thigh in regret.
She did not even have the chance to regret her decision before she stepped out of the Ruvu Center.
Zhao Chuchu instructed Mammy Li again, saying, “You must be strict. Do not let Old Mrs. Zheng eat anything aside from what is listed in the plan.” Old Mrs. Zheng had been pampered all her life. All her ailments were due to wealth. In a few years, she would suffer the consequences.
Mrs. Ge was straightforward. Her relationship with Zhao Chuchu was quite good, so Zhao Chuchu took this situation as helping a friend’s mother to recuperate.
Mammy Li promised, “Mrs. Xie, don’t worry. I will definitely monitor Old Mrs. Zheng properly.”
Old Mrs. Zheng sighed. Once she thought about not being able to eat sweets in the future, she felt as though there was nothing to look forward to in life.
Zhao Chuchu could not help but smile.
Old Mrs. Zheng was too cute.
After Old Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Ge left, Zhao Chuchu was in no hurry to return home. She continued teaching Jixiang at the Ruyu Center.
Jixiang practiced very diligently.
Chang Hong was a martial arts practitioner. Even listening to the side, she felt that she had learned a lot.
Chang Hong clearly knew that Zhao Chuchu’s capabilities were not limited to this.
Sometimes she also felt that she was very fortunate to become a servant of the Xie clan. Otherwise, how could she possibly come in contact with such things?
Usually, physicians were very stingy when it came to sharing their knowledge with their disciples, let alone teaching outsiders.
However, Zhao Chuchu was not like that.
She would gladly share her knowledge with others.
When the poorer folk came to her for treatment, she would also teach them how to take care of their external injuries. If the patients could not afford medicine, she would teach them where to find the herbs to use.
Of course, this was limited to simple external injuries. Zhao Chuchu would still advise them to seek physicians if their injuries were too severe and that they should not simply use medicine without instruction.
Sometimes she would direct them to physicians with good medical ethics in the capital.
Zhao Chuchu had a good reputation in the capital now. The other physicians respected her very much.
“Sister Hong, what are you thinking about?” While she was spacing out, Jixiang waved her hand in front of Chang Hong’s face and said, “Mrs. Xie said that we are heading home.”
“Oh, alright,” Chang Hong replied as she snapped back to reality.
The three of them locked up the Ruyu Center and slowly headed back to the Xie family’s residence.
The rays of the setting sun hit the weathered walls of the buildings around them, giving off an indescribable peaceful vibe.
Zhao Chuchu enjoyed this atmosphere very much.
In her previous life, she had been killing to survive for too long. She had forgotten what it was like to walk in the sunset.
Zhao Chuchu saw who the owner of the stall was. She then pushed Jixiang toward Chang Hong and said, “You and Sister Hong head back first. I will go over and buy it myself.’
As she said this, she did not wait for Jixiang to respond and headed over to the stall.
Chang Hong had an indifferent expression as she dragged Jixiang and walked away without turning back.
“Sister Hong, are we not waiting for Mrs. Xie?”
“There is no need to do so. Let’s go.”
Otherwise, Jixiang would become a burden for Mrs. Xie..
