Gu Jieyu held Mu Ling's hands distressedly and said.
"Miss Mu, you have just arrived in Chuchan City and you must not have found a place to stay yet? I think all other inns are full now. If you don't mind, why don't you sleep with me tonight?"
Mu Ling was stunned when she heard this and said sheepishly: "Benefactor, is this, is this appropriate?"
"What's inappropriate about this?"
Gu Jieyu smiled.
"Also, don't call me benefactor. It sounds awkward. Just call me sister."
"Hey, senior sister is right, just call me Brother Wang!"
Wang Tiezhu echoed in time.
After hearing what the two of them said, Mu Ling's eyes turned red and she burst into tears.
She looked pretty and cute, which made her look even more pitiable. Wang Tiezhu nodded secretly when he saw her.
"No wonder I got entangled with those four dudes. There is a reason..."
"Thank you, thank you two for your kindness...Sister Gu and Brother Wang, the little girl really has nothing to repay..."
Mu Ling said with red eyes, and suddenly took out a package she had been carrying with her and forced it on Gu Jieyu.
"Sister Gu, this is the herbal medicine I plan to sell this time. If you don't mind it, just accept it. Other than that, I have nothing else to repay you with..."
Gu Jieyu was shocked when she heard this and frowned.
"Sister Mu, you gave this to us, what will your brother do?"
Mu Ling hesitated, bit her lip and said, "I will think of another way! Anyway, you must accept this! Otherwise, I will really feel sorry for you..."
"Silly sister, what can you do? You'd better take this by yourself. Let's go to the market with you tomorrow and sell it at a good price. Your father's heart will not be in vain. Moreover, if we accept it,
That’s called having an uneasy conscience!”
As Gu Jieyu said this, she was about to stuff the package back into Mu Ling's arms, but the latter refused to take it away, and the two of them just started pulling at each other.
Wang Tiezhu watched from the side and suddenly stepped forward and took the package from their hands.
"Junior brother, what are you doing? Return it to me quickly!"
Gu Jieyu was shocked, thinking that Wang Tiezhu was really ready to accept it!
Unexpectedly, he smiled slightly and explained.
"Senior sister, why bother? Since Miss Mu wants us to take it, and you don't want Miss Mu to suffer, then why don't we just buy it?"
Before Gu Jieyu could speak, Mu Ling on the side waved her hands in panic.
"No, no! I can't take your money!"
"Tsk, Miss Mu, don't be so stubborn, let's do this! I'll see the value of these herbs later, and if you don't mind, I'll buy them at a price lower than the market price.
In this way, since you have repaid your kindness and raised money for your brother to repair, we won’t feel sad, and you have achieved three things with one stone, isn’t it wonderful?”
"this……"
After hearing Wang Tiezhu's words, Mu Ling hesitated.
She knew in her heart that once she gave this herb to Wang Tiezhu and the other two, her brother would probably not be able to study. But if she didn't give it away, she would feel really uneasy. The method Wang Tiezhu said was indeed a good choice.
But she still felt in her heart that there was something wrong with accepting money from her benefactor.
Mu Ling was still hesitating, but Gu Jieyu glared at Wang Tiezhu and whispered: "Junior brother! What are you doing! How can you take advantage of Miss Mu?"
When Wang Tiezhu heard this, he looked at her strangely.
"Senior sister, what are you talking about? I didn't even touch Miss Mu, so why did I take advantage of her? Don't be slanderous!"
Gu Jieyu was stunned for a moment, and the next moment she realized that her words were ambiguous. She couldn't help but blush, and she was so angry.
"Can you be more serious! I'm telling you, you can give me whatever Miss Mu's herbs are worth later! No lowering the price! Do you understand?"
"Oh, don't worry, I have a plan!"
After comforting Gu Jieyu, Wang Tiezhu looked at Mu Ling who was still hesitating with a smile, "Miss Mu, what are you thinking about? This is the best way!"
Mu Ling hesitated again after hearing this, and finally nodded through gritted teeth.
"Okay! Then Brother Wang, please estimate it!"
"This is right!"
Wang Tiezhu smiled, opened the package in his hand, and saw several herbs inside.
"Ah! These herbal varieties are very scarce! No wonder my uncle was injured. Most people can't find these herbs growing in places!"
Seeing Wang Tiezhu's surprised look, Gu Jieyu and Mu Ling had different expressions.
The former has a weird look on his face, while the latter has a surprised look on his face.
"Really, really? Brother Wang, are these herbs really precious?"
"Can I still lie to you?"
Wang Tiezhu said seriously.
"You see, this one is called Jade Heart Grass, which can make people calm down and get rid of distracting thoughts. This one is White Feather Flower, which can speed up the practice. This one is..."
Seeing what he said was clear and logical, Mu Ling became more and more convinced and couldn't help but ask happily
"How much are these worth?"
"Well..."
Wang Tiezhu touched his chin and said thoughtfully.
"According to the market price, these herbs are worth one thousand taels of silver, but according to our agreement, the price I purchased will be lower, just... eight hundred taels!"
"What?! Eight hundred taels?! So much?!"
Mu Ling looked surprised, then shook her head, "No, no, it's too much. Brother Wang just needs to give me...just give me a hundred taels!"
"Um???"
Now it was Wang Tiezhu's turn to be surprised.
"Miss Mu, these are worth a thousand taels! I've already taken a big advantage by charging 800 taels! Don't you think it's a loss if you only need a hundred taels?"
"I don't think so!"
Mu Ling smiled and said seriously.
"These herbs, as Brother Wang just said, are all useful to practitioners. If I were to sell them myself, I would only sell them to ordinary druggists, and they might only cost a few taels of silver.
Now I have one hundred taels, and I am very satisfied! This amount of money is enough for our family to live well! Any more will only make people worry about it..."
"..."
Wang Tiezhu glanced at Gu Jieyu silently, and when he saw the other party nodded slightly, he spoke.
"In that case, let's talk about it next time! But I don't have such a small amount of money on me. I can exchange it for you at the market tomorrow. How about I give it to you?"
Mu Ling said quickly: "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious! I believe in Brother Wang!"
Wang Tiezhu smiled slightly and stopped talking. Instead, he wrapped the package again and put it into his Qiankun bag.
When Gu Jieyu saw what was going on here, she pulled Mu Ling and said.
"Sister Mu, let's go, I'll take you to the room you want to see, and ask the boss to add an extra quilt!"
