90 A Woman’s Troubles

Xia Wan looked at the person and saw that it was a woman wearing loose dark-colored clothes that looked to be in her forties. Her clothes weren’t of bad material, but it was hard to hide the sorrow in her eyes. It seemed that something was bothering her.

Xia Wan tried her best to smile more gently and said to her gently, “Sister, are you here to shop for clothes too?”

The woman nodded and said in a soft voice, “But I’m a little chubby. Besides, I saw your previous deals. Your customers are all young girls. I’m just a middle-aged woman, however, and those clothes definitely don’t fit me. People will think that I’m pretending to be young.”

Xia Wan smiled and glanced at the clothes around her. She picked one up and put it on the woman’s body. “Look at this. It’s beautiful. It’s green and doesn’t look too fancy. It’ll suit you well.

“Your temperament is different from the previous two ladies. You’re quieter and calmer. Everyone has their own personality, so naturally, they can choose different clothes according to their different personalities. Your skin is actually very good, but you might have been troubled by something recently, so you can’t rest well and even feel a little anxious. That’s why you look so worn.

“If it’s not inconvenient, could you perhaps divulge a little about your situation?”

The woman looked at the clothes in Xia Wan’s hands. Just by looking at them, she felt that they were very beautiful. There was a sense of ancient embroidery, and the material was very comfortable. Even if she was sweating, she would not feel uncomfortable.

Her body was actually more prone to sweating. The weather was hot now, and her body sometimes emitted a strange odor. Even if she took a shower every day, this situation would still appear.

This was her secret, and the last thing she wanted to reveal to outsiders. But for some reason, looking at Xia Wan’s sincere face, she couldn’t help but say, “My body is a little abnormal. It wasn’t like this before, but in the past two years, whenever I sweat, my body has a strange smell. Now, my husband dislikes me and hasn’t slept with me for a year. My children dislike me too. They even tell me to stay away from them when we eat.”

When Xia Wan heard this, her brows furrowed slightly. Many people had strange body odors in the summer, but as long as they bathed regularly, they would be clean. As the woman’s family, not only did they not comfort her, but they also despised her. This would only drive her self-esteem even lower.

Xia Wan didn’t take her pulse directly but asked, “Have you gone to the hospital? What did the doctor say?”

The woman sighed. “The doctor said that I brought it on myself. He said that he couldn’t find any problems with me and that I just had to pay more attention to my personal hygiene.”

Xia Wan nodded slightly. Even in the future, many people carried a strange odor, let alone now.

She smiled and said to the woman, “Sister, actually, my grandfather is a village doctor. I’ve been learning medical skills from him since I was young. If you want me to perform surgery, it might be difficult, but I have my own way of dealing with difficult and complicated diseases. If you believe me, Sister, I’ll take your pulse and see your condition, okay?”

The woman was a little surprised. She didn’t expect the little girl in front of her to have medical skills. “You mean you’re a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner? But I’ve heard that the older you are, the more experienced you become. Little girl, I appreciate your kindness, but it’s better to take it slow when it comes to treating illnesses.”

Even though the woman didn’t look down on Xia Wan when she spoke, her words implied that she didn’t trust her.

Xia Wan was used to her attitude. After all, she was young and hadn’t made a name for herself.

Xia Wan continued to persuade her. “Sister, you’re being ostracized by your family now. You must be in a bad mood. A bad mood can affect many things. It might even worsen the situation.

“Besides, I’m not saying all this to earn money from you, sister. I just feel that you’ve always had a beautiful face, but because you’ve been contributing to the family all these years, time has slowly taken its toll on you, and you look aged. You’ve clearly given so much, but your family despises you just because of your strange odor. I understand how you feel, so I want to help you.

“Of course, if my treatment is effective, you can introduce me to more customers in the future.”
