Huang Wanzhen handed over the pair of silver earrings and asked, "Can I use this as payment?"
The vendor was dumbfounded. "How could I understand this?"
Huang Wanzhen: "Don't look at the craftsmanship, just the quantity."
The vendor pointed to the medicine shop behind him and said, "Then come with me to get it weighed."
After Huang Wanzhen nodded, the peddler asked the barber next to him to help watch the stall and took Huang Wanzhen into the shop.
"Doctor Zhong, could you please weigh me?"
The peddler said to an old man with a white beard with a smile.
The old man said nothing and turned to look at Huang Wanzhen.
Huang Wanzhen quickly handed over the silver earrings.
In the end, the peddler even gave Huang Wanzhen twenty copper coins in change.
After returning to Furongju, Huang Wanzhen first locked the study, then went to the west wing with a claw hammer.
Carefully start pulling out the nails.
This job is really not for such a weakling. Huang Wanzhen realized that this body not only needs foot radiotherapy, but also needs to build strength.
Before it was finished, there was a noise in the yard.
Huang Wanzhen hurried to the door and looked out through the crack. Seeing that it was Xiulan, she cleared her throat, opened the door and shouted, "Xiulan, I'm hungry. Go to the kitchen and get me some food."
Xiulan gathered the needlework basket in her arms and said loudly, "Okay, I'll go right away."
At the door, Huang Wanzhen waited until Xiulan left the yard before turning back to lift the nails.
After rushing, they pried open the first layer before Xiulan came back.
Huang Wanzhen stuffed a few silver ingots into her arms without a care in the world, put the wooden board back carefully, closed the box, turned around and walked out the door, took out the copper lock, and locked it with a "click".
"Miss."
"Ah?" The voice coming from behind scared Huang Wanzhen.
"I brought the food back."
Huang Wanzhen patted her chest and said unhappily, "Put it in the hall."
"Why!"
Only when she could no longer hear the footsteps did Huang Wanzhen turn around and quickly flee back to her bedroom.
He bolted the door, ran to Qiangong's bed, took out the silver ingots in his arms, and scattered them all over the bed.
I picked one up and took a look. It said ten taels on it. Eight taels of gold meant I would need at least ten of these ingots.
She counted and found that she only took eight, so she would have to get two more tomorrow.
“Dongdongdong——”
There was a knock on the door, and Huang Wanzhen hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"
Xiulan's voice came from outside the door, "Miss, if you don't go eat now, the food will get cold."
Huang Wanzhen: "Okay, I understand. I'll just change my clothes and come over."
"Go eat and leave me alone."
Xiulan: "Well, it's cold. Call me and I'll heat it up for you."
Huang Wanzhen: "I understand."
Huang Wanzhen found the cloth bag she had used to go to the hospital, put the silver ingots in it, stuffed it into the cabinet, and then opened the door to eat.
Xiulan hurried in and was relieved to see her eating.
"Is the food still cold?"
Huang Wanzhen shook her head. "It's not cold. I want to eat rice tomorrow morning. I want dry rice."
Xiulan nodded, "Then I'll go tell Master Liu Qi."
Huang Wanzhen waved her hand and said, "Go ahead."
Liu Qi, who was drinking with Ah Xiang and Gui Zi, immediately became angry when he heard this. "Everyone is so hard to serve. The old man wants porridge, the master wants noodles, the mistress wants cakes, and now the second young lady comes to beg for food. She really doesn't want me to live anymore."
"I'll tire myself out someday, and then they'll be fine!"
Xiulan shrank back, stammering and not daring to speak.
"Don't poke me. It makes me upset just seeing you."
Xiulan asked in a low voice: "Then, the second young lady's meal..."
Liu Qi: "I understand. Let's go."
Xiulan said "Oh" and turned and ran away.
Liu Qi cursed, "All of you just know how to exploit me. I really don't want to do this anymore."
Ah Xiang filled his glass and soothed him, "Isn't that the same thing? I used to work on a monthly basis, and I met an employer who made me do everything. I had four children, all in school, but in different schools, and I was the only one who could take them there. And then, after that, I had to take the master to the government office."
"I'm exhausted and I'm not even allowed to eat."
"The two ladies in that house kept their eyes on me. As soon as I sat down to eat, they assigned the waiters."
"I only worked for four days and then I quit."
Guizi: "Any employer who can make Brother Xiang quit must be a mean and cunning one."
Liu Qi sighed, "Damn it, there's no way to survive anywhere."
Ah Xiang: "Who made us born to be mean?"
"Do more good things in this life, and strive to be born into a good family in the next life."
The next day, Huang Wanzhen wanted to eat early in the morning.
Xiulan had to run to the kitchen twice before the meal was served to her.
She didn't mind the lack of food and stuffed it directly into her mouth. While Xiulan was out, she took out the paper she had prepared in advance, scooped out a large piece of rice and wrapped it in it.
Like a thief, he went to the west wing and took two more gold ingots.
This time, she was very careful. Not only did she nail the nail back in, she also crushed some rice and stuck the seal back in place.
He looked left and right, and seeing nothing wrong, he nodded with satisfaction.
He returned to the room, took out the cloth bag from the cabinet, and put the gold ingots in his arms into it, making a total of ten.
Pick it up and walk out.
"Miss, Master Liu Qi fried some eggs for the old man. I brought you the rest." Xiulan walked into the yard carrying a black tea tray.
Huang Wanzhen waved her hand and said, "I've already eaten rice, you can eat it."
Xiulan swallowed almost imperceptibly, "Scrambled eggs, you don't want to eat?"
Huang Wanzhen: "Well, you eat, I'm going to class."
As he spoke, he walked away without looking back.
Xiulan looked at the lady walking away, then looked at the eggs in her hand, and suddenly laughed.
Who says her young lady is difficult to serve? Her young lady is the best.
Huang Wanzhen carried the bag and got into Axiang's rickshaw as usual.
As Xiang ran out of Santa Alley, Huang Wanzhen suddenly called out, "Axiang, go to John's Hospital."
Ah Xiang stopped close to the road and turned around to ask, "Second Miss, are you going to the West Street Hospital instead?"
Huang Wanzhen: "Yes, go to the hospital on West Street."
Ah Xiang hesitated for a moment, and Huang Wanzhen immediately showed her impatience, "If I tell you to go, just go, don't dawdle."
Ah Xiang nodded quickly and said "Okay."
After getting off the bus, Huang Wanzhen gave him six copper coins and said, "Find a place to rest your feet and wait for me to come out."
Ah Xiang didn't think it was too little, he took it with a smile, bent down, and bowed, "Okay."
Huang Wanzhen looked up at the four-story building in front of her, tightened the bag in her hand, lowered her head, and walked in.
"Hi! Bella, long time no see." Huang Wanzhen greeted the foreigner behind the counter in English.
The foreigner also had a good memory. When he saw Huang Wanzhen, his eyes lit up, and he obviously still remembered her.
"Hey Andy, would you like to go to the West Department of Surgery?"
Huang Wanzhen nodded and handed over a silver ingot.
Unexpectedly, the foreigner confiscated it, took the wooden sign, and walked out from behind the counter.
"I'll take you to ask Dr. Anthony if the surgery can be performed today. Before the surgery, the fees will be paid in full, and you won't have to pay the outpatient fee separately."
