"Xiao'e, come here and tell me where you got this medicine. Also, tell me what the effect of this medicine is and why you brought it to us so early in the morning."
Mother Lou's expression was a little serious, but she knew her daughter very well.
I grew up being spoiled at home and never suffered any loss, which made me a little naive. Of course, to describe me in a bad way, I can say that I am a little silly and stupid.
Therefore, it is normal for Lou's mother to have no doubts at all if her daughter is cheated.
After all, things and people in society are very complicated, and based on her understanding of her daughter, she probably won't be able to cope with it.
If she was only cheated out of a small amount of money, Lou's mother would still feel that it was acceptable. But she was afraid that Lou Xiao'e was cheated and was still foolishly unaware and still believed in others. In the end, she was sold out and she was left to help others count the money. As a mother, she couldn't bear to lose face in front of that person.
Lou Xiao'e was pulled by her mother to sit on the sofa, still smiling nonchalantly. She didn't know that in the eyes of her parents, she had become a foolish child who was deceived.
"Mom, let me tell you, this pill costs ten yuan each, and you can take ten pills a month. It replenishes the body's energy and spirit. It's a recipe passed down from the imperial physician in the palace back then, and it's very effective."
But what surprised Lou Xiao'e was that after hearing what she said, her parents showed no expression at all and still looked serious. What was going on?
"Dad, Mom, don't you believe it?" Lou Xiao'e was not really stupid. She could see the suspicion of Mr. Lou and his mother.
"Where did you buy this medicine?"
Mr. Lou spoke up: "Now that you're married to Damao, you rarely leave the hospital. How can you come into contact with the person who sold you the medicine?"
He has now begun to suspect that someone is targeting him. After all, his only weakness now is his daughter. If they want to attack him, finding a breakthrough through his daughter Lou Xiaoe is indeed the best way.
"Dongsheng gave it to me." Lou Xiao'e answered naturally.
"Dongsheng?"
Mother Lou frowned and said with an unpleasant expression, "Xiao'e, who is this Dongsheng?"
"I'm telling you, you're married now, and Damao treats you well. You can't do anything to let Damao down, okay?"
"Mom, what are you thinking about?"
Lou Xiao'e was left speechless by her mother. She smiled bitterly and said, "Dongsheng is from our hospital. He has a good relationship with Damao. They are all friends. Your daughter is not as bad as you think."
"That's fine, I just wanted to remind you."
Knowing that her daughter did not go astray, Lou's mother breathed a sigh of relief. Now she had to figure out what Dongsheng meant by sending medicine to this silly girl.
"Is this Dongsheng you're talking about the guy who roasted the whole lamb when you got married?"
Unlike Lou's mother, the rich man Lou is a businessman. He can remember people he has met before and who are capable. This is an instinct for people doing business.
After all, you never know when you will need the other person, so of course you have to remember them well.
"Mom, look, it still has to be my dad."
Lou Xiao'e was delighted: "Yes, Dad, it's Jia Dongsheng. He made the roasted whole lamb when Damao and I got married."
"Didn't you invite him to roast a whole lamb for you afterwards?"
"Yeah, I already remembered."
Mr. Lou had a deep impression of Jia Dongsheng. At the wedding of Lou Xiaoe and Xu Damao, he invited Jia Dongsheng to make a roasted whole lamb.
It did happen once afterwards. That time, it was hosted by Mr. Lou, a wealthy man, and he held a party for business partners.
The roasted whole lamb dish received a lot of applause at that time. He also thought that if there were any gatherings in the future, he would invite Jia Dongsheng to be the chef.
It's just that he has to keep a low profile now and doesn't host parties as frequently as before, so he has only met Jia Dongsheng twice.
"This Dongsheng you're talking about, isn't he a cook?"
Mr. Lou frowned and asked, "I talked to him before. He said he worked in a steel mill. How did he get these pills for you?"
"Hey, I have to tell you something about this."
Speaking of this, Lou Xiao'e became excited. She had tried this medicine herself and it was indeed very good. She also believed Jia Dongsheng's words from the bottom of her heart. It must be a prescription that only an imperial physician could come up with.
Lou Xiao'e then recounted how Jia Dongsheng went out to learn a trade, and after returning, he didn't become a Chinese medicine practitioner, but a chef. Finally, she added, "Dongsheng told me that times are tough these days, and he wants to make some money selling pills to supplement his family income."
"Well, let me give this pill to you and my mom to try. If you think it works, please help promote it in your circle and help sell more pills."
"Let us help?"
Mr. Lou and his mother looked at each other in confusion. What was Jia Dongsheng thinking? Why should they help him?
"Xiao'e, why should we help Jia Dongsheng?"
Lou's mother asked the question in her heart: "We have nothing to do with him. He doesn't make any money selling medicine. We are helping him sell medicine out of favor. Do you think it's appropriate?"
"Mom, why are you so calculating now?"
Lou Xiao'e was a little stunned: "This is just a matter of helping out. Dongsheng is a friend of mine and Damao. It won't cost you anything to help him out, right?"
"This medicine of his is especially effective. You'll know once you use it."
"When others find it useful, they'll thank you, and that's a good thing, isn't it?"
Well, this silly girl made Mr. Lou and his mother both smile bitterly. Are their favors so cheap?
"Since you said this medicine is so effective, why doesn't he sell it himself, but plans to sell it through us?"
Mr. Lou asked doubtfully.
"Dad, this medicine is ten yuan a pill. It's very cheap for our family, and it's not expensive for people in your circle, but it's not very friendly to ordinary people."
Lou Xiao'e explained, "Take Damao for example. He only earns a little over thirty yuan a month. Even if he uses all that money to buy this medicine, he can only buy three pills. How much can he sell it for?"
"Well, you have some truth in what you said."
Mr. Lou couldn't help but become serious. He felt that this matter was really interesting. It was also a good idea for Jia Dongsheng to ask Lou Xiaoe for their help.
Just like Lou Xiao'e said, if this medicine really came from the palace and was really that effective, if he helped contact some people and these people took the medicine and felt the effect was good, he would indeed be able to gain some favors.
You know, Mr. Lou can already feel that the current atmosphere is becoming more and more sensitive. If he can get more favors at this time, that would be a good thing.
After all, people only dislike too little favor, not too much.
Now, we have to see how effective this medicine is.
