"Shouldn't she be eating nourishing food since she's so weak?" Meizi asked, puzzled. "Congee seems too plain."
"She's been sick for so long and taking medicine for ages, so her digestion must be weak," Juhua said, shaking her head. "She can't handle anything greasy. And since her body is so frail, she can't have rich, restorative foods either. We can only use whole grains to nurse her back to health slowly. Once she's mostly recovered, then we can start making chicken soup and bone broth for her. Oh, just listen to me for now. Let's just try this first. And tell her not to overthink things. If someone's been sick this long, they're not going to recover in two days unless an immortal personally came down to help."
Meizi couldn't help but laugh.
Juhua added, "This diet is just to help her eat more and regain some strength. We still need to see a doctor to find out what's really wrong with her and how to treat it."
Meizi nodded and went back to make some vegetable congee for Liu'er.
