Chapter 257 There is no reason to push it out
After dinner, Ye Mingxuan wanted to say goodbye, but Gu Xiaoxi told him that although the antidote had been developed, the quantity was not enough and she would need some time.
After hearing this, Ye Mingxuan could only arrange for some people to go back and rest, while he and Wei Kong went to Uncle Geda's place.
Uncle Geda was lying on the bed, and seemed a little restrained with the arrival of the young master.
"Are you feeling better, old man?" Ye Mingxuan asked with concern.
"Thank you for your concern, sir. Actually, there is no big problem. Miss Xiaoxi was just worried about my health, so she let me lie down for half a month." Uncle Geda told the young man in front of him the situation.
After hearing this, Ye Mingxuan looked at Wei Kong, and Wei Kong put five hundred taels of silver on Uncle Geda's bed.
"This is the reward for your hard work in finding medicine for us. Thank you for your hard work, old man." Ye Mingxuan said politely.
Uncle Geda waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, this time I went in purely to repay Miss Xiaoxi's kindness, you should give this silver to Miss Xiaoxi.
If it weren't for the little girl from the stream who killed the big snake, I wouldn't have been able to get out."
Ye Mingxuan also listened to Wei Kong's account of what happened inside. He shook his head and said, "She is she, and you are you. I will calculate her reward separately. You must accept these, otherwise I will feel really bad."
When Uncle Geda heard that there was an additional reward for Miss Xiaoxi, he thought to himself that after he received the money, he would give it to Miss Xiaoxi when the time came, so that Miss Xiaoxi would get more reward.
He looked at Ye Mingxuan and nodded slightly.
Seeing that they agreed to accept it, Ye Mingxuan took Wei Kong away.
Go back and have a good rest. Once Gu Xiaoxi finishes preparing the antidote, he will take his men and leave immediately.
After returning to his own yard, he ordered the guards to guard Gu Xiaoxi's side, and everyone else to have a good rest so as not to delay their journey tomorrow.
In the house, Aunt Geda stepped forward and picked up the silver. She was happy that she would not have to worry about the money to support her grandson in the future.
However, before she could pick up the silver, she heard her man speak.
"Old woman, this time I'm repaying a favor. You can't take this money. You have to give it to Miss Xiaoxi tomorrow. A person must keep his word." Uncle Geda explained the purpose of the money to his wife.
After hearing this, Aunt Geda was not angry at all. She smiled helplessly and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
"I'm sorry, old lady. You haven't lived a good life after following me for so many years." Uncle Geda said apologetically.
Aunt Geda glared at Uncle Geda unhappily and said, "What do you take me for?
Besides, when we were young, we had a good life. You didn’t know how many young wives in the village envied me for marrying a good man like you.
After hearing what his wife said, Uncle Geda blushed a little embarrassedly.
After a while, he said, "Don't worry, we found another way in this time. Miss Xiaoxi said she would take me in next time.
Next time, next time I will definitely be able to earn back the money I spent on raising my grandson."
"Okay, but you have to listen to Miss Xiaoxi and take care of your health first." Aunt Geda felt sorry for her man. If she wasn't so useless, she wouldn't have to expect him to earn money to support the family alone.
"Marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog. You are my wife, and it is my duty to support you." Uncle Geda knew that his wife loved him.
Um!
Aunt Geda blushed like a young wife.
On the other side, after entering the space, Gu Xiaoxi was busy in the pharmacy with the robot.
It was almost dawn when all the necessary antidotes were finally prepared.
Crunch!
When he opened the door, Gu Xiaoxi saw the guard waiting at the door.
When Wei Zhi saw the big bucket of antidote, he bowed to Gu Xiaoxi with gratitude.
"The antidotes are here. I have already told Wei Kong and Wei Bai how to use them. Just follow the instructions." Gu Xiaoxi explained more about the antidote.
"Thank you for your hard work, young lady. I will take the antidote to the master first." After the guard said this, he carried the bucket of antidote and carefully returned to the yard.
Gu Xiaoxi was so tired that she leaned against the door and didn't want to talk. She yawned loudly and felt like her eyes were about to close.
However, when preparing the antidote, a lot of the medicine got on his body, and the smell was a bit strong.
"Miss, let me get you some hot water to wash?" Qiu Shuang said with concern.
"Okay, get me some hot water and something to eat." Gu Xiaoxi was not only tired but also hungry.
"Okay, miss!" Qiu Shuang stepped back.
After a while, hot water was brought and Gu Xiaoxi quickly washed and changed her smelly clothes.
When she walked out of the room, she saw Ye Mingxuan standing at the door.
"Miss Xiaoxi, we are leaving. Here is two thousand taels of silver. Although it is a little less, please accept it." After saying this, Ye Mingxuan bowed to Gu Xiaoxi.
Wei Kong handed the two thousand taels of silver note to Gu Xiaoxi.
Gu Xiaoxi hadn't originally planned to accept the money, but since the other party offered it with both hands, how could she refuse it?
"Okay!" She accepted it readily.
Before she could have a midnight snack and breakfast, Ye Mingxuan and his men left the yard.
As the host, she had to see the guests off anyway, so she took Ying San and Ying Si with her and sent them off.
Seeing that the carriage had disappeared, the three of them returned to the yard yawning.
As soon as Gu Xiaoxi entered the door, she saw Aunt Geda standing in the yard with a smile on her face.
"Aunt Geda, why are you up so early?" she asked curiously.
"Your uncle Geda said he has something to tell you." Aunt Geda said with a smile.
Gu Xiaoxi thought Uncle Geda was in pain somewhere, so she quickened her pace and went into Uncle Geda's room.
Aunt Geda followed her in and handed five hundred taels of silver to Gu Xiaoxi.
Gu Xiaoxi looked at the couple in confusion.
"This was given by that young man." Uncle Geda said with a smile.
Gu Xiaoxi understood that this was the reward given to them by Ye Mingxuan, but Uncle Geda was too honest and felt that he could not accept the money.
"This is what he gave you, just accept it. He also gave me another portion. Don't worry, I won't suffer any loss." As she spoke, she put the silver on the bed.
"This, this won't do. I promised you to go into the mountains, not them. Even if I gave it to them, it would belong to the girl." Uncle Geda shook his head repeatedly.
"Okay then. As the person in charge of this mission, these five hundred taels of silver are my reward to you. If you don't accept them, you are looking down on me!" Gu Xiaoxi said and walked to the side.
"But, but..." Uncle Geda looked at his wife anxiously.
Aunt Geda thought about it, and suddenly knelt in front of Gu Xiaoxi: "Miss Xiaoxi, can we not accept this money? We want to ask you for a favor."
"Get up, get up. Why can't you tell me what's wrong with standing up?" Gu Xiaoxi helped them up. In fact, even if they didn't say it, she would have guessed it.
What they were most worried about were the two children. Without waiting for them to speak, she spoke again: "Don't forget that Xu Dong and Xu Xi are my godsons now. How could I not care about them?"
After hearing what Gu Xiaoxi said, Uncle Geda took out fifty taels of silver and asked his wife to give the rest of the money to Gu Xiaoxi.
"These fifty taels are enough for us. Can you save the rest for the two children? I feel at ease leaving it with you." He looked at Gu Xiaoxi with a pleading look on his face.
"Okay!" Gu Xiaoxi didn't have any hesitation about this. There was no need to make such a simple matter too complicated.
Seeing that Gu Xiaoxi agreed, the old couple smiled happily.
Gu Xiaoxi took the silver and went back to where he lived first. He put the silver in the space and then went to the next room to have a midnight snack.
After eating and drinking, go back to your room and sleep. You can deal with other things when you wake up.
