Chapter 10 Payback

Chapter 10 Pay back the money

Changliu Street, Luxiang Medicine Shop.

Morning time.

Fang Chang walked into the door in the sunshine and saw old man Xu sitting on a wicker chair reading a book. He was so absorbed that he didn't even notice that he walked in.

Fang Chang's footsteps were deliberately heavier.

As expected, Old Uncle Xu had a reaction. He raised his head and saw Fang Chang smiling at him:

"Uncle Xu, I'm here to pay you back."

Fang Chang shook the money bag in his hand.

Old man Xu put down the book and saw that Fang Chang's face looked much better than a few days ago.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Apparently Fang Chang had followed the doctor's instructions in the past few days and didn't make any more messy things.

"Don't worry about the money. Come over here and I'll take your pulse."

Old man Xu extended his hand and said hello.

Fang Chang took a few steps closer, took a chair and sat down in a familiar manner, stretching out his hand.

As soon as Mr. Xu got started, he let out a soft sigh unconsciously.

He frowned slightly and pressed his fingers harder on Fang Chang's pulse.

Although he is older, the strength in his hands is stronger than that of young people. Even Fang Chang's current physique is a little painful.

After a while, Old Man Xu put down his hand and looked at Fang Chang with a somewhat surprised look.

"Chang Fang, tell me honestly, besides taking the medicine I gave you, what else have you done in the past few days?"

Fang Chang asked doubtfully: "Uncle Xu, is there any problem?"

Old Uncle Xu smiled and shook his head and said: "No problem, it's actually very good. If I hadn't taken your pulse personally a few days ago, I would have really suspected you had seen a ghost.

You are in good health now, keep it up.

A few days ago, I thought you wouldn't live long."

Fang Chang complimented with a smile: "It's all because of your powerful medicine. As soon as I drank it, my legs no longer ached, my waist no longer hurt, and I could eat three big steamed buns in one go."

As he spoke, he presented the money bag with both hands.

"Here are twenty taels of silver. Uncle Xu, you can count some of it. If it's not enough, I'll make up for it."

Old man Xu did not accept the money, but shouted with a serious face:

"Square and long."

"Hey, I'm listening."

"I asked you for money a few days ago because I couldn't bear to see you ruining your father's business. Now that I see you like this, I feel very happy.

Just treat those medicines as a gift from me. You just took over your father's shop and you need money right now, so take the money back."

In fact, there is another point that Mr. Xu did not say clearly.

Although these paintings are precious, they are not without the meaning of compensation.

Although the baby kiss between Fang Chang and his granddaughter was just a casual joke between the parents of both parties, no matter what, it was he who broke the agreement first.

Fang Chang's eyes showed some warmth, but he still handed over the money bag.

"Uncle Xu, don't worry. A few days ago, my father's former partner came to my door to settle the payment he owed my father. Now I have money.

In addition, I am planning to reopen the store, so I will have no problem taking care of myself in the future.

If you don't accept the money, I won't dare to come over to you again next time."

Old man Xu looked embarrassed, but seeing Fang Chang's firm look on his face, he finally reached out to take the money bag, took out a piece of silver from it, and returned the rest.

"Twenty taels is too much, these are enough."

With that said, he got up from the wicker chair and walked to the medicine cabinet to grab some medicine for Fang Chang.

"Although your body has recovered very well, I will give you a few more tonics to strengthen your body. There is nothing wrong with your health, so you can't be careless."

At this moment, a pretty girl came out of the back room. She was Uncle Xu's granddaughter Lanlan, whose name was Xu Xinlan.

She looked at Fang Chang, her eyes a little complicated, and called out softly:

"Brother Fang Chang."

Fang Chang remembered that this girl was his childhood sweetheart. He grew up together and had a very good relationship with her.

"It's Lan Lan, long time no see."

Fang Chang showed a warm smile, his white teeth were very eye-catching, and he looked very confident.

Xu Xinlan showed a forced smile and said:

"A few days ago, I heard from grandpa that you were not in good health, and I was very worried about you."

Fang Chang made a gesture that showed off his muscles and said with a smile:

"Uncle Xu's medicine is very powerful. I feel so good now that I can kill a cow with one punch."

"Pfft!" Xu Xinlan was amused by Fang Chang and said, "How can grandpa's medicine be so powerful?"

Fang Chang said with a proud smile: "That's how good he is. No one on the street knows about Mr. Xu's medical skills. Even the whole Qianshan County is like this."

He gave a thumbs up: "Ting Gua Gua."

Xu Xinlan looked at Fang Chang, who was full of confidence and sunshine, and her eyes couldn't help but be a little confused.

Speaking of which, his square and long appearance is not considered handsome, and he has an ordinary and delicate face. He also has fair skin that has not been seen in the sun all year round, and his skin is better than that of a girl.

But under the filter of childhood, in Xu Xinlan's eyes, Fang Chang has always been the big brother who took care of her, with a natural sense of security.

Especially at this moment, Fang Chang has got rid of his previous melancholy temperament and is full of sunshine, making him look even more attractive.

only……

I remember what my grandfather said.

Xu Xinlan didn't dare to get too close.

How could Fang Chang know his daughter's family's thoughts, otherwise he would really have to say - sister, you are overthinking.

Although we are all childhood sweethearts, you can't covet my body.

It is a bit difficult for him to practice alone. How can he have the confidence and assurance to bring someone else with him?

The life of an ordinary person lasts only a hundred years.

A hundred years later, life and death are separated, and all we gain is regret and sadness.

Of course, the previous ones are just official reasons.

The main reason is that Xu Xinlan is not good-looking enough. Xiaojiabiyu is okay as his sister, but it is almost boring to be his wife.

Even he himself is not very handsome.

But he doesn't stop thinking beautifully.

If there really is a beautiful woman who is completely devoted to him and captivates the whole country, no matter how hard it is to practice, it won't matter.

Even if he was really dead, he would still have to get his person back from the Lord of Hell.

The two chatted without a word.

Fang Chang found that the little sister in front of him seemed to have something on his mind, and always felt like he was hesitant to speak.

Old man Xu on the other side wrapped the medicine and greeted the other commander.

"I've got the medicine for you. It's still the same as before. Remember to take the medicine on time."

Fang Chang took the medicine bag, thanked Mr. Xu, and said goodbye.

"Brother Fang Chang!"

Suddenly, Xu Xinlan called to Fang Chang.

Fang Chang stopped and turned around in confusion: "Is there anything else Lan Lan?"

Xu Xinlan opened her mouth, and finally showed a sweet smile:

"It's okay, Brother Fang Chang, remember to take your medicine on time and take care of yourself."

Fang Chang raised the medicine bag in his hand, stood at attention, and said seriously:

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

Then his expression dropped and he said goodbye with a smile: "See you next time."

"goodbye."

Seeing Fang Chang's back fading away, Xu Xinlan covered her mouth and her eyes became red.

"Grandpa, am I bad?"

"I know that Brother Fang Chang is not in good health, so I don't want to be with him because I'm afraid that it will be like what you said to Grandpa in the future."

Old man Xu sighed and said, "Lan Lan is a good child, but grandpa is too bad."

At this moment, his eyes moved and he saw the money bag left on the counter.

He knew that this was because Fang Chang did not want to owe him a favor.

"What a pity this child is."

Although Fang Chang's body recovered well, he did not dare to gamble with his granddaughter's fate and could only sigh that it was fate but not fate.
