This Gu County is really good, not only handsome, but also helpful.

This is also a big hand, and he gave a bag of silver to the owner at once.

Although he and his younger brother are also short of money, they are not short of life-saving money, but what this medicinal herb shop lacks is life-saving medicinal materials.

What can I do to help this good doctor?

"Owner, the wolfberries I will send in the future will be provided to you for free, and I will not charge a penny."

Shen Yuerong waved her hand, her face was serious, not like a joke.

Li Shi was still in the silver tael rewarded by the county commander, and when he heard Shen Yuerong's words, he only felt very moved in his heart, he had met a noble person today.

But this girl and her brother, no matter how they dressed, were not as simple as plain.

Especially the younger brother's patched gown is particularly conspicuous.

The two sisters and brothers, both thin and short, their faces were a little pale, and there was no extra flesh on their cheeks.

This is a typical poor child of chronic malnutrition.

Goji berries grow on the mountains, and I don't know how long these two people will have to climb to pick them.

And such a small fruit, not to mention the hard work to pick, and the need to dry, and then walk to the town, it is too hard.

The siblings may be living on the money from the sale of wolfberries, and they need help more than the medicine shop.

Although it is difficult to operate a medicine shop, it must not make a living by exploiting the children of poor families.

Li Shi waved his hand and refused: "No, no!" Girl, why am I embarrassed to accept your wolfberries for nothing? It will be charged at fifty yuan, and you can send it after you dry it. ”

Shen Yuerong was a little unhappy when she heard that Li Shi had refused her help.

I am sincerely helping, why doesn't this owner accept it?

"Dongjia, you can accept the silver taels given to you by Gu County's order, why can't my wolfberry? Don't you look down on my wolfberry? ”

"The girl misunderstood, I don't think it's easy for you two sisters and brothers, this is the income of your hard work, why am I embarrassed to ask for nothing?" The proprietor hastened to explain.

"Although I am giving it to you for free, I am not giving it to you, I am giving it to the patients in need. It's not easy for you to run this herb shop, and I want to do my part! ”

Shen Yuerong continued to persuade the owner.

"No, no, although this herb shop is not easy to operate, I will work hard to run it. But I am really embarrassed to harvest the wolfberries of your sister and brother. ”

Li Shi shook his head and waved his hands, still insisting on rejecting Shen Yuerong's kindness.

Shen Yuerong was planning to continue to persuade the owner to accept his wolfberry.

"Ahem."

Gu Jinghuai coughed, interrupting the awkward atmosphere.

He said with a handsome cold face to Shen Yuerong: "I heard you tell the housekeeper just now that it is not easy to pick wolfberries, and you should sell them in the future." Now that I know about this, I will find a way to improve the economy so that the townspeople can afford to buy medicine, so that the pharmacy can operate better. ”

As soon as Shen Yuerong heard Gu County's order, this stubborn temper came up at once.

"Why can you help the herb shop, but I can't? Just because you're a county magistrate, I'm a civilian? Although I am poor, I also want to help. ”

In Gu Jinghuai's dark eyes, the chill faded a little, and he showed a look of approval to the girl in front of him.

Although this girl is young, she has a sense of righteousness that treats money like dung.

Shen Yuerong thought that she really needed money, and her younger brother was still waiting for money to go to school.

This time, it took half a day to pick about 20 catties of fresh wolfberries with my younger brother.

After another day of drying, picking off the bad fruits, I finally got five and a half catties of dried wolfberries.

Coming to town early this morning was equivalent to three days.

Fifty wen a catty, just now I received a total of two hangs of money from the shopkeeper and seventy-five copper plates.

Ten hangs of money can be exchanged for one tael of silver, and the younger brother's tuition fee is two taels.

Excluding the rainy weather, it will take at least more than a month of labor to save enough.

Thinking of this, Shen Yuerong exhaled a long breath.

She gritted her teeth, and said to Li Shi with a firm face: "In this way, in the future, my wolfberry will be sold to the medicinal herb shop for twenty-five wen a catty." Don't shirk again, or you'll look down on me! ”

Although twenty-five wen a pound is a lot less, if you work hard to save it, you can still save your brother's tuition.

In this way, it can not only help the medicine shop, but also not make himself and his brother destitute.

Compared with the heart of the owner's Jishi hanging pot, the younger brother is nothing to go to school later.

Twenty-five pounds of dried wolfberries, it took three days for the sister and brother to get five or six pounds, and they came to travel so far to send wolfberries.

This is calculated as a person who only gets about 20 yuan a day, which is basically a hard fee, and he doesn't make any money at all.

Shen Nianhua on the side lowered his head and pulled the corner of his sister's clothes, his eyes full of grievances.

Where can he understand the difficulties that the herb shop just said, but he clearly understands what his sister said.

The owner obviously said fifty wen a catty, but my sister mainly asked for twenty-five wen a catty, isn't this just half less money?

I'm afraid that the fragrant and sweet sugar gourd will not be eaten again.

I don't know when I will be able to save enough money for school.

Shen Yuerong looked at her younger brother pouting, with a look of grievance and tears in her eyes.

A trace of shame welled up in his heart, and he promised his younger brother that he would save money for him to go to school as soon as possible.

Now the wolfberries were finally sold, and they were sold at a good price, and they were half given away by themselves.

After I go back, I'm afraid I'll have to think of other ways to save enough money as soon as possible.

She touched her brother's head and whispered to her brother, "It's okay, my sister will have a way." ”

Li Shi looked at Shen Yuerong's stubbornness and firmness, so he didn't say anything, so he had to sigh with emotion and thank him.

"Then thank you to the county magistrate and this kind girl."

The sale of wolfberries has been negotiated, and the situation of the medicinal herb shop is basically known, Shen Yuerong said goodbye to the owner and planned to leave with his younger brother.

"Girl, what's your name? Where do you live? ”

A smiling face from Steward Huang appeared in front of Shen Yuerong.

Shen Yuerong was not wary of this kind housekeeper uncle at all: "My name is Shen Yuerong, my brother's name is Shen Nianhua, we live in the third household in the east of Yutou Village, an hour's road away from Fenglin Town. ”

Steward Huang took note of it carefully, and reached out to touch Shen Nianhua's head: "Shen Nianhua, you look so cute!" ”

"Gu County Order, how do you plan to improve the economy of Fenglin Town?"

Shen Yuerong looked at Gu Jinghuai, who was still cold-faced next to him, and couldn't help but want to talk to him.

"When I first arrived in Jiahe County, I went around looking for a suitable way. It's just that it hasn't been found yet. ”

Gu Jinghuai frowned when he said this, but quickly returned to an expressionless and cold face.
