Chapter 30
It’s Okay, Mother Is Rich
“Of course, I also have something to ask the shopkeeper for help.” Gu Qingxue brought the three children and followed Huang Rongfa to an empty room not far away.
After closing the door, Gu Qingxue and Huang Rongfa sat down face to face. The three children sat obediently beside Gu Qingxue and watched as the servant in the shop brought tea and exquisite snacks.
Huang Rongfa had always liked children. Seeing that the three children were all cute, he quickly called out to them, “You’ve been waiting for your mother for a long time. Why Don’t you have some tea and snacks?”
Dumby and Lingbao had been staring at the plates of exquisite snacks since the snacks were brought to the table.
Were these snacks? It was the first time they had seen such exquisite snacks in their entire lives. Each of them was small and exquisite, like a work of art.
Gulp.
Dumby and Lingbao swallowed their saliva quietly and lowered their heads, afraid that they would be seen as greedy.
“Thank you, uncle. We’re not hungry.” Gu Lin held his brother and sister’s hands and took a peek at the desserts from the corner of his eyes. Then, he quickly looked away.
“It’s alright. Uncle Huang is treating you to the desserts. You can eat as much as you want.” Gu Qingxue looked at the lively and sensible looks of the three children and could not help but feel sour in her heart.
Children usually could not control themselves when they saw pastries. Moreover, the three children had never seen such beautiful and exquisite things. Yet, they could not help but reject the pastries. It was all because they were worried about her.
“But, mother, pastries are very expensive. What if we finish them… ?” Dumby raised his small face and asked carefully.
Gu Qingxue took three snacks and gave them to the three little cubs. “It’s okay. Mother has money. I’ll buy them for you after you finish them.”
“Wow, mother is so nice!” Lingbao took the snacks and stuffed them all into his mouth. His cheeks were suddenly full.
Dumby followed suit. The two little children’s mouths were full. The sweet and delicious snacks spread in their mouths. They were so delicious that they looked at Gu Lin excitedly.
Gu Lin elegantly took a bite of the snacks under the urging of his younger siblings.
The top-quality peach blossom pastry melted in his mouth. It was so delicious that Gu Lin almost swallowed his tongue.
The three children looked at each other and smiled. Then, they continued to drink tea and eat happily.
Gu Qingxue smiled with relief. She turned her eyes to Huang Rongfa, “I’m sorry to have kept Shopkeeper Huang waiting. May I know why Shopkeeper Huang is looking for me?”
“It’s like this. I see that your medical skills are excellent. I wonder if you would like to stay in my pharmacy as a doctor? We can discuss the salary,” Huang Rongfa said sincerely.
Gu Qingxue thought for a moment and said, “There’s nothing wrong with that. “If the shopkeeper wants to invite me, I’ll decide the time of the consultation. “I probably won’t come every day. Moreover, if I encounter any difficult and complicated diseases and need to use the medicinal pills that I’ve specially prepared, I’ll receive a separate consultation fee.”
“This… We don’t have such a rule here,” Huang Rongfa said with some embarrassment.
Gu Qingxue smiled confidently, “It’s fine if shopkeeper Huang isn’t willing. However, this isn’t the only pharmacy in this town. I believe that there will always be a shopkeeper willing to accept my request.”
Huang Rong’s expression changed, and he hurriedly said in a fawning manner, “Eh, that’s not what I meant. The young lady has misunderstood me. I agree. I’ll write up a contract right now. Let’s sign the contract, and you’ll be our pharmacy’s doctor.”
