Although Manager Du was highly regarded by his employer, he lived a simple life and also had to support his daughter's family. Even without being told, Ruan Meng could guess his financial situation.
But that's not the point. Ruan Meng decided to help, partly out of gratitude to Manager Du. He not only did not disregard her status as an exile, but also offered his help out of kindness.
Buying medicine and exchanging medicinal materials are examples of this, as is helping out of a predicament at the He Family Restaurant.
There's also sympathy for Xiao Can; even in a fictional ancient world, survival is just as difficult for women.
Xiao Can is so kind, yet she has been constantly bullied by a scumbag. Her act of standing up for justice is controversial.
Ruan Meng was adamant and pushed the box back, saying, "In the future, when I'm selling or dispensing medicine, there will be many more times when I need to trouble Manager Du!"
"Besides, I have already asked Manager Du to get the medicine. If we're talking about value, the prescription personally prepared by the young master of Xinglin Hall is probably worth the money, isn't it?"
"There's no need for a banquet. Manager Du, please take good care of your family and Xiao Can first. As for the things Ji Qing bought out of your kindness, I'll humbly accept them, okay?"
Seeing this, Manager Du, not wanting to take up any more of Ruan Meng's time, could only nod gratefully.
Anyway, as Miss Ruan said, there's plenty of time in the future...
Several helpers stepped forward to help, carefully wrapping up the medicinal herbs Ruan Meng wanted, preparing to deliver them to the carriage with A Yuan.
"Hold on!"
Manager Du found the medicinal herbs that Ruan Qian often used, which had been prepared in advance, and prepared to send them onto the carriage.
Upon learning that Ruan Meng had taken action and given Zheng Gou a severe beating, and had also reminded Ji Qing and the others to report to the authorities, Manager Du had no way to repay her and was unable to leave. He prepared Ruan Qian's usual medicine in advance, since these would come in handy anyway.
When Ruan Meng was about to pay, Manager Du refused to accept the money. The staff at Xinglin Hall were quite clever; they all pushed them towards the back door, determined not to give Ruan Meng and A Yuan any chance to pay.
Ruan Meng was both amused and exasperated, while A Yuan, after seeing the whole picture, was deeply moved.
Although he had traveled to various places and met all sorts of powerful noble ladies in mansions and businesses, none of them were like Ruan Meng.
She is not only formidable in person but also possesses the spirit of a chivalrous woman, which would put even men to shame.
With the help of the chicken, duck, and goose shop assistants, Ji Qing carried three large bamboo baskets and loaded all the chickens, ducks, geese, and cooked food that Manager Du had instructed him to onto the cart.
Both sides compromised, and Ruan Meng returned home with a full load of goods.
The entire Xinglin Hall group emerged from the back door, escorting the person until the carriage was no longer visible.
Neighbors and passersby, thinking something big had happened, all went to investigate.
The carriage headed straight for He Family Restaurant. The waiter recognized A Yuan and Ruan Meng and led the carriage to the backyard.
Upon hearing the commotion, Manager Yu personally came out to greet them.
Having only been apart for a few days, and perhaps having experienced the turmoil in Wanjiacun and the passing of Granny Liu, Ruan Meng felt even more at ease seeing Manager Yu again.
If we meet by chance and someone lends a helping hand in times of trouble, we should repay that kindness as soon as possible, because we may not have such an opportunity again.
Manager Yu led the people directly to the second floor of the private room.
As we went upstairs, Manager Yu introduced Ruan Yi, saying that Ruan Yi was already in the private room. He also told Ruan Meng that the market prices she had asked Xiao Kai and her second brother to inquire about had already been settled.
The door to the private room was pushed open, and Ruan Meng was slightly surprised to find that the young master He Cong was also there.
After serving the tea, the waiter stepped outside to stand guard.
Seeing that it was safe to talk, Manager Yu sat down next to Xiao Kai and then gave Ruan Meng a thumbs up.
Ruan Meng turned her head to the side.
She has many things to praise. Which one is Manager Yu referring to?
Shopkeeper Yu praised her with admiration, "Although Miss Ruan is young, she has a chivalrous heart, which is truly admirable!"
Oh! You mean dealing with Zheng Gou?
"His courage and decisiveness are unmatched by ordinary people!"
Ruan Meng blinked. Did they know that she had asked Sun Chengen to deal with Zheng Gou and his mother?
That's right, the boats Sun Chengen used were all borrowed from the He family.
Seeing Ruan Meng's cautious expression, Manager Yu glanced outside and reassured her, "Don't worry, Miss, everything's alright! Young Master is very trustworthy!"
Those who don't know will never know!
The private room was empty; all four of them were cunning and shrewd, except for Ruan Yi.
He was completely confused, his gaze shifting back and forth between Manager Yu and his sister's faces.
Xiao Kai beamed with joy, "The things you asked me to do, Miss, have been taken care of by the Second Young Master and me. You can now make your plans more easily."
It seems that Xiao Kai has already informed Manager Yu and He Cong about the cooperation with Zheng Chengen.
Ruan Meng nodded her thanks, and He Cong, his face full of gratitude, stood up to serve Ruan Meng tea and had Xiao Kai bring out a box.
He Cong opened it, revealing a box of gleaming gold ingots.
The second brother was shocked, and Ruan Meng looked at He Cong with a puzzled expression.
