Chapter 27: Sowing Dissension
"What Aunt Guo said is really interesting."
The smile on Ruan Chuxia's lips deepened.
She calmly explained, "Didn't you say earlier that I'm just a barefoot doctor in the countryside, without a formal job, and can't compare to those with official positions? So I think it's more reasonable to set the price according to the market price."
"Well, I thought about it later and I think it's quite right."
Ruan Chuxia sighed, looking very embarrassed. She spread her hands and continued with a smile: "After all, I only know the medical treatment and medicine making skills passed down in my family. If I want to survive, I can only make money from this. Don't you think my skills are not worth this money?"
"Eight hundred a bottle, is that still expensive?"
"You know, Aunt Guo's son and daughter-in-law both have decent jobs. I'm sure their combined monthly income is enough to buy a bottle of my medicine. It's not an unreasonable price, is it?"
"you……"
Guo Chengying was stunned for a moment, feeling mixed emotions.
I finally realized that this damn girl Ruan Chuxia had planned it all along.
She was actually waiting to let herself fall into this trap!
Ruan Chuxia laughed twice, with a hint of pride in her voice, and reached out to take the bottle back.
"Since you don't want to buy it now, Aunt Guo, please return this bottle to me. You've used so much medicine, it's worth three or four hundred dollars. I don't want the money. Consider it a small token of my appreciation for you. Please don't be too polite to me."
Guo Chengying was so angry that he almost died!
I originally thought Ruan Chuxia was just a well-behaved girl, but I didn't expect her to have such sharp eloquence.
One sentence makes the matter clear.
Don't let yourself get any advantage at all!
After feeling the efficacy of the medicine in his hand, Guo Chengying was of course reluctant to return the precious medicine.
She clenched the bottle of medicine tightly in her hand, with an expression of extreme pain on her face.
At this moment, her heart was extremely conflicted.
Seeing this, Wang Pengfei quickly took out a black wallet with a smile on his face.
"Xiao Ruan, I bought this medicine for your Aunt Guo. Consider it a token of our appreciation. It's eight hundred yuan. Take it."
"When you and Zhiyu got married, we didn't bring you any decent gifts, so just accept this money. Don't make a fuss with your aunt. She may be a bit blunt, but she has a good heart."
As Wang Pengfei spoke, he took out a pen and paper on the spot, carefully wrote a check for eight hundred yuan, quickly stuffed it into Ruan Chuxia's hand, and secretly winked at her, indicating that she should quit while she was ahead.
Ruan Chuxia's eyes moved slightly, a satisfied smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she reached out to take the check.
She thought to herself that her goal had been achieved.
Although Aunt Guo sometimes seems too sarcastic, her husband Wang Pengfei still performs well.
Since they are all relatives, Ruan Chuxia doesn't mind giving Wang Pengfei some face.
She placed the check carefully and sat back down in her seat.
Seeing her relaxed expression, Xiao Zhiwei, who was standing next to her, felt even more complicated.
Just as Xiao Zhiwei was about to speak, she heard Aunt Guo's sarcastic question: "Zhiwei, you're not a child anymore? Your brother is married, when are you going to find someone to marry?"
"You should be almost 27, right? If you keep going like this, you'll be called an old maid!"
Xiao Zhiwei's expression changed immediately, and his brows were tightly furrowed.
It seems that Aunt Guo didn't get any advantage from Ruan Chuxia, and now she wants to vent her anger on her.
Xiao Zhiwei had a stern face and his tone seemed unhappy, even a little cold.
"There's no rush to get married."
"Oh, no hurry yet?"
Guo Chengying groaned, covered his mouth with his hands and pretended to laugh a few times, but his eyes were full of sarcasm.
"Girls your age around me have children who can help out with the housework, but you haven't done anything yet!"
"And Xiao Ruan, why isn't Zhiyu here?"
Aunt Guo looked around and found that Xiao Zhiyu had not appeared.
"Xiao Ruan, are you and Zhiyu... Oh, if you have any difficulties, you can tell me. It's not popular to take care of everything for yourself nowadays. It's normal for Zhiyu to have some opinions."
Guo Huaqin couldn't stand it any longer. Her face darkened and she glared at Aunt Guo. She warned, "Sister, what do you mean by that? Zhiyu and Chuxia get along very well. Don't try to sow discord between them!"
"How am I provoking?!"
Aunt Guo retorted.
Aunt Guo rolled her eyes at her angrily.
"Then tell me, why hasn't Zhiyu shown up yet? I think he simply doesn't want to come and is just making up an excuse to avoid it!"
"Who makes excuses?"
Suddenly a low, hoarse voice came from the door.
The sound scared Aunt Guo so much that the melon seeds in her hand almost fell out!
“Ahem!”
She quickly picked up the water cup and drank some water in panic, then she managed to breathe a sigh of relief.
Then she suddenly raised her head and saw Xiao Zhiyu standing at the door in military uniform.
Aunt Guo's face suddenly turned pale and her heart was pounding.
She lowered her head nervously, not daring to look Xiao Zhiyu in the eye.
God knows, she has been arrogant and domineering all her life and is not afraid of anything.
But I am afraid of this cold-faced nephew who is like the King of Hell!
Wang Lijuan, who was sitting next to him, looked at him who had just entered the room and said softly, "Brother Xiao, you are finally here."
Her face flushed, and she looked up at Xiao Zhiyu secretly with anticipation.
But the other party didn't even look in her direction, but walked straight towards Ruan Chuxia!
Xiao Zhiyu hurriedly finished his official business and rushed over immediately.
As soon as he entered the door, he focused all his attention on Ruan Chuxia.
His attitude towards Wang Lijuan was completely indifferent.
After quickly walking over to sit next to Ruan Chuxia, Xiao Zhiyu's eyes became much softer.
He leaned close to her ear and asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Did anyone bully you while I was away?"
This feeling of closeness made Ruan Chuxia feel itchy on her neck.
"It's okay. It's Aunt Guo who seems to be very angry."
Hearing this, Xiao Zhiyu smiled slightly, then he raised his right hand and gently touched Ruan Chuxia's head.
"Well done." Xiao Zhiyu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Ruan Chuxia was not devastated but instead looked full of energy.
At the same time, Aunt Guo was so shocked that she couldn't even close her mouth.
How come this nephew, who has never had any interest in the opposite sex, suddenly becomes so gentle and considerate?
Wang Lijuan also looked incredulous.
She bit her lower lip tightly, with jealousy and resentment in her eyes.
It took a lot of effort to suppress the jealousy.
She smiled coldly and asked, "Brother Xiao is usually so busy with work, how could he take time out today to have dinner with sister-in-law?"
It was not until this moment that Xiao Zhiyu noticed that there were other people in the room.
