Chapter 25: Gu Qian was forced to take advantage of this with tears in her eyes

The old man didn't let Gu Qian wait for long. After a while, he came back nimbly.

"Our boss said there are three cabinets inside. They're all made of good wood. If you want them, add two dollars and they'll take them away. Otherwise, forget it."

"Uncle, if I hadn't seen the little compartments on this shelf for the kid to put his clay stuff in, I wouldn't have bought it. You're still two dollars short, and I have very limited money, so forget it."

Hearing Gu Qian say this, the old man got anxious, "Hey, don't forget it, this is good wood."

"Oh, it's useless to have good wood for the kid's toys. If not, go home and make him one with a small stick. It doesn't cost a penny and it's pretty good."

"Well, how about this, 6.80, do you think you can take it?"

"Uncle, forget it."

"Two yuan and eight cents."

"Uncle, forget it. I can use the money I save to buy some meat for my kids."

When the old man mentioned meat, he gulped and said, "Look, you need a ticket to buy meat. It's 6 yuan. If you want it, take it away. If you don't want it, forget it."

Gu Qian hesitated for a moment, "Uncle, since you are so sincere and are willing to give me a discount of one dollar even if it means violating the order of the boss, then I will buy it. The only thing is that the child won't be able to eat meat for a few months."

When the old man heard that Gu Qian wanted to buy it, he immediately smiled and said, "You are just a kid. There are many days ahead of you, and you will be able to eat meat later.

So, do you want to pay first, or what?"

"There are still some medicinal herbs in there. Do you want to collect them?" Gu Qian reminded.

"No need, they are all useless. No one knows Chinese medicine, and no one knows how to use the medicinal herbs." The old man waved his hand.

Gu Qian originally thought that he had gotten a great deal by buying a nanmu cabinet, but when he heard the old man's words, he suddenly felt that he had been at a disadvantage. If he had said from the beginning that he wanted to buy a cabinet, he would have had the medicine as well.

"Haha, Master, not only are you bargaining for a few cents, but you're also feeling bad for 5 dollars. How funny."

"What do you know? I used to have at least 1 yuan, but now I only have a few dozen yuan. I have to be frugal, don't I?"

Gu Qian didn't want to either, but the few patients he saw didn't pay, so his money was not recorded in the account. People can be healthy, but they cannot be without money.

"Uncle, my father-in-law is at the door with the cow. I'll go call him."

"No, no, I'll call for you, you just wait here." The old man was afraid that Gu Qian would change his mind and run away, so he ran out by himself.

Gu Qian felt like he had suffered a huge loss.

"Don't be disappointed. The cabinet inside is made of old golden nanmu wood. It's just covered with a layer of dust and mold. Just go back and clean it up." Xiaoqiang felt that Gu Qian was being too pretentious and couldn't help but remind him.

Gu Qian was forced to take advantage of this with tears in her eyes.

The old man was very quick and probably had some connections in the hospital. Soon he came in with Shen An pulling a ox cart.

Shen An was completely confused. "Daughter-in-law, this elder brother said you bought a shelf. We have shelves at home, and there are carpenters in the village who can make any kind of shelf."

He felt that there was no need to buy a wooden rack from the commune, as it would be troublesome.

“Dad, it didn’t cost much.

"Sir, this thing is very cheap. Buy it and let Zhizhi play with it." Gu Qian said quickly.

The gatekeeper quickly agreed, "Yes, it's very cheap."

When Shen An heard Gu Qian say this, she knew there must be something she didn't know, so she simply cooperated, "You little girls just don't know how hard it is to make money. Okay, okay, I bought it, and don't do this next time."

"Brother, let me help you move things." When the gatekeeper heard Shen An say this, he immediately opened the door and started to move.

The two of them quickly moved the three cabinets onto the ox cart.

"What is this thing? It's all black and gray." Shen An said with disgust.

The gatekeeper immediately became nervous when he heard Shen An say that. He found something and stuffed it into the car. "Hey, look at this medicine jar, it's also for you. And this scale, they're both for weighing medicine. Take it back and let the children play with it."

"Uncle, thank you. Here's some money. Please count it." Gu Qian quickly stuffed the money into the other party's hand. If he took anything else, it would be too much to give, and his conscience would condemn him.

The old man counted the money quickly, closed the door and sent the guests away. Listening to the complaints outside, he looked at the money in his hand and drank a sip of tea with satisfaction.

"Daughter-in-law, what on earth is this?" After leaving the hospital, Shen An lowered his voice and asked Gu Qian.

"It's an old medicine cabinet made of golden nanmu wood, and it's covered with plaster on the outside. We found a great bargain today. If we keep it for a few decades, we can buy a big house for your grandson." Gu Qian said with a smile.

"Oh, really!" Shen An looked at the wood behind him with surprise. He couldn't see any difference between it and the firewood he used for burning at home.

"You'll know after we go back and clean it." Gu Qian was very sure that in her previous life, her family had a box made of golden nanmu wood, which was all polished with patina.

"Wow! You guys really know more." At this moment, Shen An felt even more the importance of what the old woman said about marrying a scholar to his son.

If this were a country girl, she would probably take this thing home and burn it as firewood.

After buying the herbs, they didn't delay in the county town any longer. When they reached the gathering place, the other people were already there, even Jiang Mei, who had just left, had come over.

Several people looked at the things piled on the car and were a little dissatisfied.

"Shen An, your wife spends all her money on this wooden lump. Isn't she a complete spendthrift?" Aunt Wang, who had just complained about Gu Qian, took a look at the thing and started complaining directly.

Shen An was unhappy. She didn't understand anything and just said, "What do you, a country girl, know? Buy something useful back home."

"Well, I don't understand. It's useful, it's really useful. It looks like it can cook two meals." Aunt Wang curled her lips. Only the Shen An family treated their daughter-in-law as a treasure. This educated youth daughter-in-law couldn't carry anything, and she just gave birth to a sickly grandson for their family. What's so great about that?

"Yes, yes, yes, with your vision, you can only think about cooking. Are you going back or not? If you go back, get in the car quickly." Shen An was unhappy with what the other party said, but good things must be kept secret. He couldn't tell this matter yet, which made him very angry.

"It's not your own car. You don't feel bad about using the village cows. You're pulling these broken wood back, and you don't even complain, Aunt Wang." The car was very crowded, and Jiang Mei complained again.

"We are all from the same village, why are you raising any objections? Can't you just sit down?" Aunt Wang would not tolerate her. If she raised any objections and her family had to use a bullock cart next time, she would be contradicting herself. She was not stupid. These educated youth were very bad.

Jiang Mei cursed in her heart, but thinking about what Gu Qian had just mentioned, she felt a little guilty and didn't dare to confront Gu Qian.

Gu Qian carried three boxes and managed to get home.
