Chapter 2176: Chapter 1854: So Much Money!
Some brave the heavy rain, racing down the road for the sake of brotherhood, while others...
are still enjoying life at a guesthouse.
Teaming up with Xin Jun and going into debt by the millions, Zhang Yanping initially felt quite stressed, feeling like he could only eat two and a half bowls of food.
But now, after working diligently for several months, he thinks people shouldn’t work. If not for his impulsive decision back then with Xin Jun, he’d be planning to comfortably mooch off someone.
With the sudden downpour reducing customer flow, the hectic white-and-black days suddenly relaxed, and he truly feels happiness!
Even though it’s raining now, it doesn’t stop him from holding an umbrella, wearing flip-flops, and happily making his way to the clinic:
"Xiao Guo, come on, let’s go steal some melons!"
Doctor Xiaoguo is busy.
"It’s raining, what melons are you going to steal, you’re going to be stealing mud, right?" The fields will leave a puddle with every step, squelching sounds everywhere, and Zhang Yanping’s words make it sound like a date.
"You came at the right time, we’re swamped with four people—come help mash these hawthorns."
Boss Chang took all the hawthorn pill stock; now there’s only enough for about thirty to fifty pills for the village. If we don’t replenish, when patients come back, we won’t be able to supply them, and the profit is quite good.
Zhang Yanping: ...
He said seriously, "I really want to help you, but Xin Jun has been busy and tired lately; today I’m covering his shift so he can have a break—I’m heading back first. I’ll bring you a melon tonight."
With that, his flip-flops splashed into the water with a clap, and he quickly walked away.
The three employees in the clinic chuckled.
Their boss knows how to make money and is a nice guy, just has a heavy taste, liking the gangster boss type, always trying to win them over.
But, it’s true love!
Though the gangster boss looks stern, he still found a decent excuse not to be bossed around by her... Tsk tsk tsk!
Doctor Xiaoguo glanced at her employees exchanging looks with their eyes and shook her head helplessly.
Zhang Yanping’s face, that strong physique, is truly the best disguise—not even noticed when slacking!
As for the melon...
Cough.
She cleared her throat: "You’ve been working here for some time now, were busy before, now I’ll see if I can get you some perks."
After speaking, she headed to the pharmacy to rummage through boxes and drawers, finally finding a small jar, holding an umbrella as she left the clinic.
The doctor and two nurses in the clinic exchanged confused looks: "The boss’s perk can’t be just this melon, right?"
Couldn’t be, their boss isn’t stingy.
Probably finding an excuse to woo that gangster boss, we’re all adults here, why find excuses?
Sighing, everyone went back to grinding herbs.
Meanwhile, Doctor Xiaoguo truly wasn’t on a romantic rendezvous, she brought the jar to Song Tan’s home: "Song Tan, the ginseng slices I preserved are ready to eat, brought you a jar to try."
Preserved ginseng slices?
Song Sancheng immediately poked his head out: "Ginseng? Isn’t it too potent?"
Doctor Xiaoguo laughed: "No, it’s red ginseng; after being specially prepared, the effect is very gentle. Uncle, Aunt, you worked hard when you were young, weakened your health, I’ve noticed you’ve been recovering well recently, eating this can boost immunity, it’s pretty good."
Not eating isn’t a big deal, but she actually wants to pick ten pounds of melons. She even buys honey from Song Tan’s home, not giving something appropriate would seem too shameless.
Song Sancheng was tempted.
He’s different from Wu Lan, who doesn’t like taking medicine when feeling unwell, even scoffs at health supplements, including vitamins.
But Song Sancheng is quite keen on this; when he sees wellness teas or polygonatum on TikTok, he takes serious interest.
He’s bought some secretly, sharing them with Zhou Maozhu when he found them unpalatable.
The family knows about it.
Considering he still gets a tiny allowance each month, they turn a blind eye to his actions.
Now, seeing his expression, even if Song Tan didn’t intend to refuse, he would relent, speaking up:
"Go ahead, don’t be shy. Once the rain stops, feel free to have your employees come pick as well. Don’t pick the ones that are too split open; they’ll spoil overnight, then I’ll collect them tonight to feed the pigs."
Doctor Xiaoguo beamed, putting the jar on the table: "Uncle, I saw you and Uncle Maozhu sharing that polygonatum earlier; don’t buy those online, my medicinal source is reliable. Once collected, I can prepare some for you."
