Ji Qing was slightly shocked, and Manager Du found it hard to believe.
Ruan Meng looked to both sides to make sure no one was there before confirming:
"Don't worry, Manager Du, that mother and son will never come back in this lifetime!"
With a reassuring tone, Manager Du's expression gradually calmed down, and he asked after regaining his composure:
"Miss Ruan, how can I repay you?"
Ruan Meng smiled and blinked, "Why would Manager Du say that? It was just a righteous act of beating up Zheng Gou, why make such a fuss?"
After Zheng Gou was released from prison, he and his mother disappeared, completely severing ties.
Ji Qing realized what was happening and comforted Manager Du:
"The blessing the young lady spoke of will surely come true! Shopkeeper, there's no need to worry!"
Manager Du realized what was happening, wiped his eyes, and said gratefully in a voice that could only be heard by the three of them, "Miss is family. You can do whatever you need from now on!"
"real?"
Ruan Meng joked, "I just heard Manager Du say that the medicine the young master prescribed for Xiao Can has an excellent calming effect?"
"Could you please prescribe some medicine for one of my patients as well, young master? I will tell Jiqing about the pulse diagnosis later. The patient is weak and I will mainly use acupuncture. If you can add the young master's medicine, it may speed up the treatment."
Manager Du readily agreed. Although the young master was aloof, he figured the young master wouldn't refuse if he shamelessly asked.
Ruan Meng said this only to alleviate Manager Du's psychological burden.
Upon hearing Ruan Meng's request, and knowing that his young master was indeed reluctant to prescribe medicine, Manager Du's expression softened considerably after making his promise.
"Young lady, the prescription you just looked at doesn't seem to be the kind the young master usually uses. Is it for the patient you mentioned earlier?"
Ruan Meng nodded, "To be honest, she is the cousin of the young master of He Family Restaurant. He Family Restaurant has been a great help to our family, just like Manager Du and Ji Qing."
“They trust me and asked me to help with their treatment, so I will do my best.”
Manager Du said solemnly, "Since you've helped Miss Ruan, you're my benefactor. Please let me know if you need any medicinal herbs in the future!"
"If Xinglin Hall has the best, we'll find a way to get it for the young lady; if not, we'll find a way to get it for her!"
Ruan Meng nodded gratefully and got up to go to the outer hall. "Manager Du, please don't be so polite in the future, otherwise neither of us will feel comfortable. As long as Xiao Can is doing well in the future, we have a long road ahead of us."
Manager Du immediately asked her to stay, saying, "Stay today, and I'll have my wife cook some good dishes, or host a banquet at the He Family Restaurant to entertain you, young lady!"
Ruan Mengcheng replied sincerely, "There are indeed things going on at home. The construction of the house previously delayed the progress. Next, I'm preparing for some new business."
"Manager Du, please don't be so polite. Once everything is sorted out, I'll also help you make some prepared medicines. If you're willing to help, you can talk to the owner about selling them on consignment at Xinglin Hall."
Manager Du exclaimed with delight, "This is wonderful! Once you're ready to start, you can send me a letter, and I'll discuss it with you in detail. I'll also communicate with the owner beforehand to see how we can help you expand your sales channels!"
Knowing Ruan Meng's character and that she wasn't making excuses, Manager Du didn't insist on keeping her. He immediately took out a few pieces of silver from his sleeve and handed them to Ji Qing.
"Jiqing, go to the street and buy ten chickens, ten ducks, and ten geese. Put them in a basket and send them to the girl's carriage!"
"Buy some more roast duck, roast goose, eggs, steamed buns, etc. Use this money to buy everything, don't leave any leftovers!"
Ji Qing waved happily to Ruan Meng and ran out before Ruan Meng could politely decline.
Manager Du said sincerely, "Miss, please don't refuse. As you said, I'm busy these days, so I won't disturb your time."
"Ten days from now, once things are settled, I will personally visit you and host a grand banquet at the He Family Restaurant to thank you and your family. Please do not refuse!"
“Furthermore,” he strode back to his guest room and took out a small box, “Ji Qing just asked me to prepare this!”
"I thought Zheng Gou's matter was over, but I was worried about my wife, daughters, and the pharmacy, so I didn't dare leave on my own. Otherwise, I would have gone to the village to thank him in person long ago!"
Manager Du opened the small box, inside which were ten small silver ingots, totaling one hundred taels.
"You must accept this, young lady! It's a small token of our family's appreciation!"
