At that moment, as Fang Guangmei walked along the road to Uncle Fang's house, she felt a twinge of regret for having given her mother-in-law so many of the medicinal pills earlier.
If she had known it would turn out this way, she should have only handed over one or two. Once her mother-in-law finished those and felt the effects, she surely wouldn't have rushed back to Beijing. Now she was left in an awkward limbo, unable to even take any for herself, and she was consumed with remorse. For her, her own health and conceiving a second child were naturally the most important things in the world. As for her mother-in-law, as long as the old woman wasn't making things difficult for her, everything else didn't really matter. She couldn't be bothered to manage so much—after all, that wasn't just her mother-in-law to deal with alone.
Deep down, she hardened her resolve: once she returned to Beijing, she would never again do such thankless work that brought her nothing but trouble. Coming to the County Town this time, although she had meant well and desperately wanted to cure her mother-in-law's chronic headaches, her mother-in-law's difficult personality had left her constantly anxious, unable to eat or sleep well, and thoroughly exhausted. In the end, it had only backfired on her own health.
