Chapter 32
They Were Rich
Gu Qingxue took the notice and read out the contents, “The reward for the herb is 10,000 taels of gold.”
10,000 taels of gold. These simple words made Gu Qingxue’s eyes light up.
“This notice was posted three months ago, but no one has been able to get the herb. So rather than giving it to me, Lady Gu, qhy don’t you hand it over to the Yamen?”Huang Rongfa said frankly, and he pushed the herb to Gu Qingxue.
Gu Qingxue heard him, she looked at Huang Rongfa and smiled. “In that case, I’ll have to trouble you to help me make a trip there. “In order to thank you for your hard work, I only want 90% of what the government will give me, and the remaining 10% will be your hard work fee.”
Huang Rongfa was shocked and quickly waved his hand. “How can I do that?!”
“If it weren’t for the shopkeeper, I wouldn’t know this way. Shopkeeper, you don’t have to decline. Take it as a favor and go to the county master’s place for me,” Gu Qingxue said with a smile.
In fact, she was willing to give the Worry-Relieving Grass to Huang Rongfa if he gave her five thousand taels. However, Huang Rongfa told her about the notice even though he could keep it for himself. It showed that this person valued friendship and loyalty.
After all, it was because of Huang Rongfa that she had the chance to get ten thousand taels of gold. Giving ten percent to the other party and letting the other party run errands for her could be considered as her repayment.
Huang Rongfa could see that Gu Qingxue did not like to talk nonsense, so he hesitated for a while before nodding his head in agreement. “Alright, then I’ll prepare more people to deliver the Worry-Relieving Grass together. I promise to bring back the ten thousand taels of gold to Lady Gu without missing a single cent.”
“Then I’ll go back today. I’ll come back to see the shopkeeper tomorrow,” Gu Qingxue said.
Huang Rongfa could not stop smiling. He quickly signed the contract with Gu Qingxue and gave her another thousand taels of silver before he finally sent Gu Qingxue and the three children away with a smile.
The three children stood outside the pharmacy holding hands with blank expressions on their faces.
They were rich.
It was a lot of money!
“Wow! Mom, you are so awesome!” Lingbao was the first to react. She looked at Gu Qingxue in admiration and threw herself into her arms.
Her mom was really awesome. Not only did she treat them well, but she also brought them here to eat snacks and earn a lot of money. She really liked her mom more and more.
“Mother, can we buy some more chicken meat to go home?” Dumby almost drooled at the mention of meat.
“Of course. We don’t just have to buy meat, we also have to buy clothes, buy rice noodles, and buy a lot of delicious and fun things.” Gu Qingxue had just finished speaking when she saw Gu Lin reach out his hand.
Gu Lin spread out his hands, revealing the three pieces of snacks that he had been holding in his hands. “Just now, you only cared about talking. We saved these for you. Hurry up and eat them.”
“That’s right, mother. We left these for you. This pink and tender pastry is especially delicious,” Lingbao said as he swallowed her saliva and retracted her longing gaze.
No, these were left for mother. They could not eat them anymore!
Gu Qingxue was overjoyed. She tried a small portion of each piece of pastry, then, she smiled, “Mother is very happy that you guys are thinking about mother. It’s just that mother doesn’t like to eat desserts. The three of you can share and eat. After eating, we’ll go shopping.”
Dumby and Lingbao each took a piece of snack and left a big one for their brother. The two of them ate with relish.
Gu Lin did not eat the snacks right away. Instead, he looked at Gu Qingxue curiously and asked, “Mother, when did you learn to practice medicine?”
Gu Qingxue’s heart skipped a beat.
Sure enough, what was supposed to come had come!
