Chapter 513 - 269: Live Happily_3
Cheng Yue had no choice but to take his hand and instruct him, "Hongji, remember to come see your auntie, I’ll have your winter clothes ready and waiting for you."
Jie, Xiao, and Monkey Brother all got dressed up for the occasion, the former two didn’t want to scare anyone, while the latter didn’t want to frighten the monkeys on Xiding Mountain.
Upon seeing the Old Monk, Monkey Brother rushed forward and gave him a bear hug. He had grown taller and stronger and could no longer crawl into someone’s embrace as he did when he was little.
The Old Monk laughed heartily, "You naughty monkey, you’ve grown even more robust."
Monkey Brother, pleased with the praise, grinned from ear to ear.
Qian Yixiu told the Old Monk that her family would be setting off for the Capital City the day after tomorrow and invited him to visit their home in the future. She also mentioned her mother’s recent mental state, her growing familiarity and acceptance of her own brothers, although she still couldn’t recall past events. She asked when the two pills should be given to her mother.
The Old Monk replied, "The two pills should be taken in ten doses, once a month. I cannot be certain to what extent the medicine will cure her madness. Perhaps it will help her remember everything from before, restoring her clarity. Or maybe it will simply alleviate her symptoms, allowing her to recall some deeply imprinted old memories..."
On hearing this, unable to hide her disappointment, Qian Yixiu asked, "If Big Brother Liang’s illness could be fully cured, why isn’t my mother’s recovery certain?"
The Old Monk said, "Amitabha! A healthy person without ailments, living in a vastly different environment for over a decade, will see significant changes in temperament, thoughts, and many other aspects—let alone someone who is not in their right mind. The extent of her recovery mainly depends on her deep-seated will and the guidance offered by the people around her." Seeing the look of disappointment on Qian Yixiu’s face, he added, "Indeed, crying clearly is not as good as laughing in a daze. With your wisdom, Little Benefactor, can you not comprehend the underlying truth?"
