The abandoned wife married into a wealthy family, and the scumbag father wailed every night
Chapter 22 The overwhelming wealth
Gu Xiucai and his companions came to the largest clinic in the county. When the young apprentice saw that they were dressed in tattered clothes, a look of disgust flashed in his eyes.
But the boss strictly forbade them to judge people by appearance and drove away the poor people who came to seek medical treatment.
Therefore, the apprentice had to suppress his disdain and went forward to entertain them:
"Excuse me, who are you treating?"
Although the apprentice pretended to be enthusiastic, he could not hide the contempt in his eyes.
Gu Xiucai saw it clearly but was not angry. People tend to judge people by their appearance. This is human nature. There is really no need for him to delay his work because of this anger.
But Gu Yubai, the skinny monkey and the big fool were very angry. They looked at the apprentice with anger, as if they wanted to tear him to pieces!
The apprentice was so frightened that he trembled and spoke to Gu Xiucai in a much more polite manner:
"If you want to see a doctor, you may have to wait a little longer. The doctor is out seeing patients and will be back in about an hour."
"No, no, no! Little brother, we are not here to see a doctor. I am here to sell medicinal herbs. Is the shopkeeper here?"
After hearing what the apprentice said, Gu Xiucai quickly replied.
After hearing this, the apprentice rolled his eyes and instinctively wanted to chase the man away. He had seen too many country folk like him.
They often use a few wild grasses to cheat people out of money, just to take advantage of the kindness of the shopkeepers and fool people!
His eyes fell on Gu Yubai and the big fool who were staring at him covetously. The apprentice wanted to chase them away and his words became:
"Yes, yes, wait a moment, I will go find the shopkeeper!"
The apprentice ran away after saying this.
It's not that he is timid, it's just that the looks from Gu Yubai and the other two are too scary, and he is afraid that if he stays any longer, his life will be in danger!
Manager Yao of the clinic arrived soon and originally wanted to ask the apprentice to just give the man a few copper coins to send him away.
But the apprentice described those people as too scary, and he thought someone was deliberately causing trouble, so he came here in person.
"Do you have any medicinal herbs to sell?"
After all, Shopkeeper Yao has been working among the crowd for many years and has a good way of treating people. Although he is wary of Gu Xiucai and his companions causing trouble, he still has a cheerful look and a gentle smile on his face.
"Boss, look, do you accept this?"
Seeing that no one was in the clinic at the moment, Gu Xiucai lifted up a piece of cloth covering the small backpack, revealing a small corner of the ginseng.
Shopkeeper Yao's originally nonchalant expression turned into shock when he saw what was in the backpack, and his breathing stopped!
When he was suffocating to the point of being unable to breathe, he suddenly realized that he had forgotten to breathe because he was too shocked!
After taking two deep breaths, Shopkeeper Yao kept telling himself not to get excited and not to let these people see that he wanted the ginseng very much, lest they ask for an exorbitant price!
But he still couldn't help blushing!
Shopkeeper Yao smiled awkwardly, then hurriedly welcomed Mr. Gu and the others into the inner room of the clinic and ordered his apprentice to serve them good tea!
The young apprentice was somewhat reluctant. What good tea could a bunch of peasants drink?
"Idiot! Hurry up and make some tea! If you offend my distinguished guest, I will make you suffer!"
The apprentice rarely saw the shopkeeper get angry, so he was so scared that he ran off to make tea.
"Don't move! I'll get it! I'll get it! You take a rest!"
As soon as Gu Xiucai entered the inner room, he was about to take out the ginseng from the backpack. Before he touched the basket, he was frightened by the roar of Manager Yao.
Shopkeeper Yao carefully lifted the cloth covering the backpack and stared at the ginseng as if it were some rare treasure. When he saw the entire ginseng in the basket, his face turned even redder!
He pretended to be calm on the surface, but in his heart he kept shouting:
"Oh my God! Is it my turn to have this overwhelming wealth?!"
The master had already spread the news and asked these shopkeepers who were out of town to find good ginseng for him!
More than half a year has passed and he still hasn't found any ginseng worth showing off.
This ginseng looks like it’s a hundred years old!
This is a rare and exquisite product!
The master said that a nobleman in the capital had a serious illness and needed ginseng all year round to stay alive.
But ginseng is a rare thing and is a life-saving medicinal herb that is hard to come by. There are so many people who want it that there are simply not enough to go around!
He heard that last year the owner of a small medical clinic sent a 50-year-old ginseng to his boss, who appreciated his boss's kindness and promoted him to the capital!
Beijing!
That is a rich place with gold and silver everywhere!
If he gets this ginseng, his boss will definitely appreciate him more!
Is the Yao family also going to the capital to enjoy the overwhelming wealth? !
Shopkeeper Yao covered his chest, feeling that he couldn't think about it any further. If he continued thinking about it, it would reveal how eager he was to get the ginseng!
Gu Xiucai: ...
Gu Yulang:…….
Gu Yubai: ...
Big guy: ...
Thin Monkey:......
Aren't you exposed enough?!
"This ginseng looks pretty good to me, so I'm not rejecting it. But how much do you want for it?"
Shopkeeper Yao calmed down and spoke calmly, but his eyes were fixed on Mr. Gu, fearing that he would not want to sell again!
"You, the shopkeeper, are not sincere. We won't sell it to you!"
Gu Yubai had been hanging around outside for many years, and he saw through the shopkeeper's thoughts at a glance, so he pretended to pick up the backpack and leave!
"Sincerity! Sincerity! Brother! Let's talk it over nicely! Harmony brings wealth! Harmony brings wealth!"
When Shopkeeper Yao saw that his enormous wealth was about to slip away, he was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead. He quickly held on to the backpack, as if he was afraid that someone would snatch it from him.
"1000 taels! 1000 taels! Big brother, this is all the money in my clinic. I really can't take out any more!"
Shopkeeper Yao looked at Gu Xiucai pitifully, with a tearful tone, fearing that he would think it was too little. After all, this ginseng would be sold for 2000 taels in the capital, but now in this small county, he really couldn't afford so much money!
Shopkeeper Yao thought about it in his mind and decided to take a gamble and use all the money in his clinic to buy this ginseng!
He could tell that this ginseng was of top quality, and the owner would definitely not feel like he was losing out if he offered this price!
"1000 taels!"
Gu Xiucai and his companions were all shocked when they heard this, but in order not to be exposed, they pretended to be calm and did not show it.
It is obvious that both those who sell ginseng and those who buy ginseng were frightened today!
Gu Xiucai and his two sons looked at each other and decided to sell it without any hesitation!
姚掌柜很是贴心,给了顾秀才6张100两、6张50两、剩下的100两都是给的碎银子和铜板。
After sending Gu Xiucai and the others away, Shopkeeper Yao originally wanted to have someone send them to the capital as fast as possible, but he swallowed the words before he could say them. He decided to send them to the capital himself!
Gu Xiucai walked out of the clinic as if he was walking on cotton, and he stumbled and almost fell.
Gu Yubai quickly supported his father. When he saw someone looking at them, he pretended to be angry and said:
"Dad! Don't worry. There are only quack doctors here. Your illness must be cured. We will go to the provincial capital to treat you even if we have to sell everything we have!"
The pedestrians on the road immediately put away their curiosity. Alas, another poor person!
You can’t get sick no matter what at this age!
However, the son of this family is very filial and he even wants to go to the provincial capital to take his father to see a doctor.
"Hey!"
Gu Xiucai responded with a pretended miserable voice and said no more. He was supported by Gu Yubai and walked away.
The acting is amazing!
After getting away from the crowd, Gu Yulang wanted to say something but was stopped by Gu Xiucai.
