Educated Youth in the Countryside: She is the Village's Embroidery Queen!-Chapter 284: Feeding the Bewitching Soup

"There are many types of athlete’s foot infections, some can heal without medication, while others won’t heal even with treatment."

Especially stubborn athlete’s foot, that’s really tough to handle.

If there were a permanent cure for this thing, there wouldn’t be so many sufferers in later generations.

However, how should I say it, if athlete’s foot doesn’t make you itch to the point of being irritable, and it’s just smelly or peeling and cracking, it doesn’t really matter if you treat it or not.

Wen Shi’s case is one where it doesn’t really matter.

Seeing her gaze fall on his feet, Wen Shi wiggled his toes, then lifted his foot to show her, "Wife, can mine be treated?"

"It can wait..."

Yi Chichi instinctively responded, glanced at his toe gaps, and frowned, "Why on earth are you wearing other people’s shoes?"

The tone was quite harsh.

Wen Shi shook his head, "Don’t talk nonsense, I didn’t wear them, someone else wore my shoes."

Yi Chichi, "Coordination?"

Wen Shi made a sound of agreement, somewhat helplessly said, "You’ll get used to it."

Don’t take even a needle or thread from the masses, what’s mine is my comrade’s, and my comrade’s is mine, always available for coordination.

Hang clothes on the clothesline, place clean shoes on the rack, when caught in an emergency, grab anything you can, looking for your own...

It’s hilarious, they all look the same and there’s no time to recognize them in such a rush.

"So, is there a method for mine?"

"Yes."

"What method?"

"For yours, go step on sandy soil, it must be dry and sun-baked until it’s scorching... step until the sand between your toes is dry... promptly clear the dry skin from between your toes, and continue stepping on dry sand to have some anti-itch effect..."

She drank a sip of water and continued, "However, one or two times won’t work, if your case is the vesicular type of athlete’s foot, this sand stepping method needs at least half a month to be effective, and to completely cure it will take even longer."

"For cases like the erosive type, or squamous keratotic athlete’s foot, medication is required, and you need to change your shoes and socks frequently and maintain daily cleanliness."

At this point, she spread her hands, "Regardless of the type, even if I have a formula, you guys don’t have the conditions for treatment."

Wen Shi fell silent, what she said was absolutely true, they genuinely don’t have the conditions for treatment.

It’s not that they don’t have money for treatment, nor are there no medicines, as long as it’s proven that his wife’s method works, someone will naturally follow up.

But as sufferers of athlete’s foot, they don’t have the time to persist.

Frequently changing shoes and socks and maintaining daily hygiene is even harder for them.

Additionally, athlete’s foot can spread to many from just one, curing it completely is too troublesome.

Thinking of this, he rubbed his face, "Even a little relief is good."

That’s it.

Thus, Yi Chichi wrote several formulas for him, each corresponded to a type of athlete’s foot.

Each athlete’s foot type, and its specific manifestations were written clearly, so even someone without medical knowledge could match them, let alone someone who understands medicine.

Thus, she handed over the written formulas, "Take these to try."

If it works, it works, if not, there’s nothing she can do.

Of course, it’s best if it’s useful because the reward would be substantial.

Wen Shi accepted them like a treasure and looked through them once, "Tomorrow I’ll hand them over to the leaders."

"Alright."

The leaders are quite reliable, so Yi Chichi isn’t worried about the formulas being embezzled.

After putting the formulas away, Wen Shi had some time for gossip.

"Wife, I heard from Old Lin and the others that you pricked someone when you were catching seafood?"

"I did prick!"

Yi Chichi nodded, somewhat angrily said, "I didn’t even know that person, and she was rambling bad things about me, so I pricked her in anger."

Wen Shi’s smile vanished, replaced by a blank expression.

"Said you were of poor character?"

Yi Chichi looked at him in surprise, "How did you know?"

"You’ve got the looks, some untalented and plain classmates can’t stand seeing good things happening to others."

Having seen the dark side of human nature many times, Wen Shi calmly said, "Besides your looks being an easy target, I can’t think of any other reason."

Not waiting for her response, he asked menacingly, "Did you report it?"

"I did!"

"Who did you go to?"

"Auntie Guan."

Auntie Guan is the wife of the regiment leader, the Women’s Federation chair, upon knowing she went to her, Wen Shi’s tone softened a bit, "Was there punishment?"

"There was."

Recalling Auntie Guan’s punishment method, she couldn’t help but chuckle, "Auntie punished her to write a twenty-thousand-word self-criticism, help out for free in the canteen for half a month, and apologize to me in front of all the families."

"Besides that, she also gave all the families a lecture, sternly emphasizing that small conflicts are permissible, verbal sparring is acceptable, even physical altercations are allowed, but absolutely no escalating the issue to matters of character, or making wild accusations."

Wen Shi, "??? Even physical altercations are allowed?"

No way, when did Auntie Guan become so lenient?

Previously, she wasn’t this easygoing, for problems that couldn’t be mediated, it was often solved with one line, "Men are fighting hard at the front, and here you are pulling them back, you don’t want a future, right?!"

Physical altercation?

Impossible, Auntie Guan used to say that’s vixen behavior, embarrassing to the men.

Yi Chichi’s mouth twitched, somewhat sheepishly said, "Because I did hit."

Wen Shi was rendered speechless by her answer.

Seeing him not speaking, Yi Chichi poked him, "What’s wrong?"

"Wife, honestly tell me, did you give Auntie Guan some magic potion?"

Otherwise, how could Auntie Guan be so blatantly biased?

"What magic potion, Auntie Guan has a favor to ask."

Because of the favor, favoritism appears, otherwise, unrelated, why would someone stand by her side.

Of course, the cause of this matter wasn’t her, her action was justified.

But still, no one would care if it was justified, anyway, the others saw her hit.

Being impartial in the punishment is crucial for future personnel management.

And the cost of favoritism is to relax some restrictions to divert the public’s attention and discussion points.

Of course, this restriction can be lifted at any time.

It’s all up to her word.

After all, she holds the highest position within the female community!

Yi Chichi’s analysis left Wen Shi unable to resist hugging her tight and planting a kiss on her.

"Wife, you’re really amazing."

The insight into human nature and the minds of those in power is so precise.

Those qualified to set the rules always have the leverage to turn against you anytime.

However, "What does Auntie Guan want to ask of you?"

"To let her daughter learn embroidery from me."

Wen Shi’s forehead was filled with black lines, "Did you agree?"

"I agreed."

There’s no need to refuse, it’s a simple act and words, whether she can learn or if she has the talent isn’t within her control.

But she’s given out this favor solidly, not counting on Auntie Guan and her husband to repay the favor, just remembering Wen Shi is enough.

Ability is one thing, maintaining relationships is another.

Then, Wen Shi hit her with a sentence that left her dumbfounded.

"Silly wife, you’ve just taken on a big bother."

Yi Chichi, "??? What do you mean? Explain clearly."
