Chapter 298, Wake up the Stupid Young Master⑥
"you."
Wu Chenggong was angry and thought, who are these people?
If you make a joke on her in the morning, this woman will come back with revenge in the afternoon. She is really vindictive.
No wonder the ancients said that it is difficult to raise a little girl.
Wu Chenggong was very angry there, but he also knew that the old man could not take my medicine.
In the end, he had to wait for the bullock cart to arrive in the village, and then secretly go to beg for Yuanshuiqin.
Seeing that the village had arrived and the other women had left, Wu Chenggong followed Shuyan Shangshen cunningly.
Shuyan Shangshen knew that he was coming and didn't chase him away.
She thought it was still early, so she could go to the mountain to see how the herbal seedlings were growing.
When Father Yuan saw that she was going up the mountain, he handed her the sharp sickle and said, "I'll ask your brother to accompany you when I go back. You guys should come back early in the evening."
This village is relatively peaceful and there are basically no bad people, so Father Yuan is relieved that she will go up the mountain.
Wu Chenggong saw Yuan's father leaving from a distance, so he followed Shuyan Shangshen cunningly.
After they reached the mountain, Shuyan Shangshen turned back and glared at him.
"Master Wu, your family is not a thief, right? Otherwise, why would you follow people in broad daylight?"
"I."
Wu Chenggong stalked someone for the first time, and the target was a girl, which was already embarrassing enough.
This would be pointed out nakedly, which would be really embarrassing and humiliating.
His face turned red, he hesitated for a long time, and explained, "I, I have no choice."
Shuyan said arrogantly, "You have no choice but to follow a girl who has not left the court? How can you have the nerve to say it? If this doesn't spread, what will people say about us?"
"If my reputation is damaged by then, you can afford to pay for it."
"me…"
Wu Chenggong felt that he was at a loss, but things were urgent. He only bought some herbs today. He couldn't afford the remaining herbs, so he had to secretly pick them up with Yuan Shuiqin, a local girl.
He couldn't go back empty-handed, otherwise he would be blamed to death by his sister-in-law at home.
But it was indeed wrong to follow the person, so he suppressed his blush and said to Shuyan, "Yuan Shuiqin, I, my grandfather is sick and needs some precious herbs. Can you pick these herbs for me?"
He felt that a man could bend and stretch, and as long as he could save his grandfather, he could only bow his head and admit his mistake.
He handed a prescription to Shuyan Shangshen and said in a pleading tone, "These are the flavors. Can you please mix them with me first?"
Lord Shuyan took the prescriptions and saw that they were all medicines to nourish the mind and nourish the mind.
She just had a little of those medicines, and she was taking them at home.
"Well, I still have some at home, which I keep for my parents. If you want them, I can sell them to you."
Wu Chenggong was overjoyed, "Really?"
Shuyan Shangshen nodded, "Of course it's true, but do you have money?"
Wu Chenggong:......
It’s really a matter of which pot should not be opened.
He said with a sullen face, "Although I don't have money now, I will pay it back to you when I earn it in the future."
Shuyan didn't believe it, "I see if you can't lift your hands or shoulders, how much money will you make? You don't have money and want to take my medicine for nothing, right?"
"You're talking nonsense. How could I be like this? A real man keeps his promise. Tell me, how much do you want to sell the medicine to me?"
Shuyan sighed, "I don't want more, so I'll sell it to you at the normal price. These three medicines total twenty taels. I still have the remaining two medicines left, so I can give them to you."
Wu Chenggong was overjoyed, obviously not expecting that she really had the medicine.
However, his pockets are empty now, not to mention twenty taels, not even one tael.
But if you don’t have money, you can borrow money first.
So he said shamelessly, "In this way, you sell me the medicine first, and I will give you an IOU. When I make money, I will pay it back to you. Is that okay?"
This is the first time that Young Master Wu has surrendered in front of others.
There is no way, who makes him now a phoenix in trouble, worse than a chicken.
Fortunately, he was not begging for a man, so he would not be embarrassed and thrown into the Pacific Ocean, and he could still endure it.
Shuyanshangshen:...
What kind of logic is this? It’s not shameful to ask for a woman?
Wu Chenggong coughed and said, "At least I bought the medicine on credit, so I won't be embarrassed."
He looked around and said with a hot face, "Miss Yuan, I really need these medicines urgently. Can you sell them to me quickly?"
Fortunately, there was no one else on the mountain at the moment, otherwise he would really have trouble surviving.
Lord Shuyan knew that Mr. Wu was really sick, so he didn't tease him and said to him, "Okay, I'll get the herbs to you. Remember to write me an IOU."
Wu Chenggong was overjoyed, "Really?"
Shuyan Shangshen nodded, "Well, let's go, you come with me to get the medicine."
In his previous life, Mr. Wu was the only person in the Wu family who was kind to Yuan Shuiqin, so it was only right for Shuyan Shangshen to help him.
After returning home, Master Shuyan grabbed the medicine, weighed the medicine for him, and told him, "Take the medicine according to the amount of medicine I packed and drink it after meals."
Wu Chenggong was grateful in his heart, but he was brave and said, "Don't worry, I borrowed this medicine at a high price today, and I will pay you back at a high price in the future."
After that, he hurried back.
After returning home, Wu Chenggong's sisters-in-law didn't say anything when they saw that he had actually come back to buy medicine.
After all, today is different from the past. Everyone in the family has to do work, so there is no reason for five people to be idle.
Wu Chenggong knew what his sisters-in-law were thinking, so he didn't care. He took the medicine and went to the kitchen to start brewing it.
When the medicine was ready, he gave the old man a bowl. The next day, Mr. Wu's spirit was indeed better.
Seeing that the medicine was effective, Wu Chenggong took a high look at the village girl Yuan Shuiqin.
After the old man got better, Wu Chenggong wanted to earn some money to support his family.
It's just that the emperor has ordered that the Wu family can't do business for a few years, so he doesn't know how to make money.
He thought about it over and over again, and suddenly it occurred to him.
He can be a cashier.
Or move goods and settle money every day.
The emperor only said that the Wu family could not do business, but he did not say that they could not work.
So he happily went to discuss with Mr. Wu, "Grandpa, what do you think is a better job for your grandson?"
He is good at literature and martial arts, so it should be easier for him to find a job.
Seeing that he was motivated, Mr. Wu smiled and said, "There is a dock in town for moving goods. As long as you have the strength, you can do it."
"If you don't want to work hard, you can be a bookkeeper or a teacher. You can also be a waiter, it depends on what you want to do. Or you can try both."
Mr. Wu has always loved his grandson very much.
It's just that the old man at home spoiled his grandson and never let him work since he was a child, let alone make him suffer.
But after the family went through this, and the family was poor and sick, Mr. Wu decided to let his grandson go out and have a career so that he could grow up better.
In fact, he really wanted Wu Chenggong to try every job and endure every hardship, so that he could increase his intelligence and experience.
However, he will not force him to make a choice, but let him think about it himself.
After Wu Chenggong listened to his grandfather's suggestion, he said, "My grandson knows. When the time comes, I can try every job. There will always be one that is more suitable for me."
