“I’m 80% sure. Think about it; you will have to return the money you borrowed eventually, but it’s not the same for your daughter’s dowry. Once that money enters their family, it will belong to them.” Sixth Aunt Gu nodded and smiled in response.
“They have so many twists and turns in their heads.”
“That’s why I am saying you must be on guard against them. Don’t let them trick you; otherwise, the life you’ve worked so hard to get will return to how it was before.”
“Thank you for your advice, Sixth Aunt Gu. Come over and chat with us whenever you are free, you can give us more advice that way.”
“It’s fine as long as you don’t find me talkative.”
“No one is perfect. As long as you are kind, anyone will be friends with you.”
“Yes, yes, that’s it. The most important thing about someone else is whether they are kind or not.” Sixth Aunt Gu agreed with a nod.
The two of them chatted for a while longer, and Sixth Aunt Gu got up to leave after another drink.
Zhou Ying didn’t persuade her to stay. Instead, she packed a bag of fried beans in oil paper and accompanied her out. She returned to the kitchen and got busy after that.
On the other hand, Gu Chengrui arrived in town and first went to the restaurant to look. He then turned around and went to Doctor Luo’s clinic.
Doctor Luo, who was picking out medicine, was stunned when he saw him. “Gu, you’re here. Take a seat and wait for me. I’ll be done in a minute.
After he finished speaking, he continued to sort out some medicine. After sending two customers away, he walked to Gu Chengrui, sitting on a chair at the entrance, and said jokingly, “Bringing a medicine kit to our shop; are you planning on challenging us?”
“I wouldn’t dare. I came to find you today because I have some serious business to discuss.”
“Serious business? Follow me then.” Doctor Luo gave his helper a few instructions and then took him to the back.
After he sat down, he poured him a glass of water and asked, “Tell me, what’s the matter today?”
“It’s about the new clinic.”
“A new clinic? Are you also planning to buy that place?”
“If you don’t have the money, I wouldn’t have it either,” said Gu Chengrui.
“What about your restaurant?”
“Someone gave it to me, but don’t tell anyone else. We are only telling the public that my wife is the manager there.”
When Doctor Luo heard that, he knew it was pretty complicated, so he didn’t talk more about the restaurant. Instead, he smiled and said, “So, you’re here today to open a clinic together?”
“It seems that you are as wise as you are old.
“But yes, the clinic over there is much bigger than this one, and you wouldn’t be able to handle it alone.
“Although I’m not talented, I do have some skills. Wouldn’t it be good for us to collaborate?”
“Then how do you want us to collaborate?”
“How much silver can you take out?”
Doctor Luo stretched his hand and said, “1,000 taels; this is all I have.”
“Is another 500 from me enough?”
Doctor Luo looked at him in surprise and asked, “Can you really offer 500 taels?”
“Yes, we’ll split it two to one. You get two shares, and I get one.”
Doctor Luo looked at his solemn expression and fell into deep thought.
Seeing this, Gu Chengrui did not disturb him. Instead, he warmed his hands and drank some water.
After about a quarter of an hour, Doctor Luo slammed the table and decided, “Alright, but you have to listen to me in terms of management.”
“You’re more experienced and have a wider network. Of course, I’ll listen to you.”
“Then what are we waiting for? Let’s hurry up and draft the contract, then go to the county office and buy the place. Otherwise, who knows who might take it?” Doctor Luo immediately stood up and said.
After that, he turned around to get a brush and ink.
When Gu Chengrui returned home in the evening, he gave the contract to Zhou Ying and said, “The matter of the clinic has been settled. Keep this well.”
Zhou Ying took it and directly threw it into the villa’s study in her interspace. She then told him about Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Yao’s visit.
