Chapter 2866: Stupid People with a Lot of Money
"Give me the basket quickly so I can see what medicinal herbs are in it." When Lu Xiaoxiao walked up to him with the basket, the old man immediately snatched the basket away and began to look at the medicinal herbs in the basket.
After more than ten minutes, he finally finished looking through the herbs in the basket and classified them. When he saw the piles of herbs on the ground, he wished he could take them all back to the hospital.
But he knew that this was not possible, so he took out half of each herb miserably, and then put the remaining herbs back into the backpack.
After seeing the old man's actions, Lu Xiaoxiao had a better impression of him, so she asked him, "Do you want more herbs tomorrow?"
"think."
"Then you should continue to wait for me here with money tomorrow."
"Okay, I will be there on time tomorrow. Remember to give me half of the herbs."
"Don't worry, as long as the money is in place, everything else will be easy."
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, the old man felt reassured and was no longer worried. So he picked up the pile of medicinal herbs that belonged to him on the ground and left happily.
After the old man left, Wang Juan walked over to Lu Xiaoxiao and asked her, "Xiaoxiao, why did you give the herbs to the old man?"
"He is a doctor in the hospital, so I sold the herbs to him. Here is eleven dollars, please keep it, Aunt Juanzi." Lu Xiaoxiao took out eleven dollars from her pocket and handed it to Wang Juan.
"Why are you giving me so much money? Didn't we agree on one dollar a day? Why are you giving me eleven dollars?"
"There's a lot of money from selling medicine, so just keep it, Aunt Juanzi. You can carry the herbs here and wait for me at this time tomorrow. I'll sell half of them to the old man then."
Wang Juan was delighted when she heard what Lu Xiaoxiao said, but she soon calmed down and said to Lu Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, just give me one dollar. You earned the other ten dollars with your own ability, so keep it for yourself."
After hearing what Aunt Juanzi said, Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but sigh in her heart that Aunt Juanzi was too honest. If it were someone else, they would have reached out and taken the money long ago.
However, it was precisely because of Aunt Juanzi's honesty that she was willing to give half of the money to Aunt Juanzi. If it were another greedy person, she would not give a penny.
Since she sold the herbs based on her own skills, why should she share the money with the people who helped her dig them? It's not like she didn't pay them for their work.
"Aunt Juanzi, the medicinal herbs were sold for a total of twenty yuan, and I have already kept ten yuan, so you can just keep the ten yuan." After Lu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she stuffed the money into Wang Juan's hand.
Wang Juan's eyes immediately became red when she saw the extra eleven yuan in her hand. Rural people like them only earn about a hundred or eighty yuan a year, which is just enough to cover their family's expenses for a year, and they can't save much.
So when Lu Xiaoxiao gave her this eleven dollars, it not only allowed her to make money, but also left a way out for her family. If the family had saved this eleven dollars when her youngest son fell ill last time, they would not have been so poor that they had to go to the hospital for treatment.
"Xiaoxiao, thank you from your auntie. If you need my help in the future, please don't be polite to me." Wang Juan wiped her eyes with her sleeve and said to Lu Xiaoxiao.
After hearing what Wang Juan said, Lu Xiaoxiao smiled and said nothing more. Because she really wanted to help Wang Juan, there was nothing wrong with her accepting Wang Juan's thank you.
