In Liu's Pharmacy, Su Xiao looked at the frightened expression of the old shopkeeper and couldn't help it, so she laughed out loud!
"I didn't expect that you have such a rich imagination!" Thinking of her so-called "family", she felt even more funny and almost burst into tears!
With how shrew-like Mrs. Li and Mrs. Sun are, they might as well be called a bandit family!
"...I'm telling you, please stop thinking nonsense. I'm just a country girl. I'm a fake!"
After finally waiting for Su Xiao to smile enough, she wiped the wet corners of her eyes. Seeing that the old shopkeeper still looked dubious, she straightened her face and said.
"Then, these things... well, I'm not afraid of little girls' jokes. I've been running this shop for more than half my life. This is the first time I've seen medicinal materials of such good quality and age!"
As he spoke, the old shopkeeper carefully picked up a thick piece of gastrodia elata and sniffed the rich and thick smell with an intoxicated look on his face!
"Oh, I can't bear to sell such a good thing!" After a while, the old shopkeeper reluctantly put down the gastrodia root and said with a wry smile.
"If you are reluctant to part with it, don't worry, as long as you find the seller, I guarantee you will get as much of these things as you want!"
Su Xiao laughed, then bent down, picked out two of the largest medicinal herbs, and stuffed them into the hands of the old shopkeeper without any explanation.
"I'll give these to you. The stewed chicken is very filling. Don't be too reluctant to pick at it, old man. I'll bring it to you after you finish eating!" Su Xiao winked and smiled mischievously.
Because the old shopkeeper was a kind person, she had the opportunity to get to know Mr. Jiang, and then she seized the opportunity to treat Mr. Jiang and earned her first huge sum of money after coming here.
Whoever treats her well, she will do everything possible to find a way to repay him;
Similarly, if anyone dares to bully her, she will definitely try her best to take revenge a thousand times!
"This, this can't be done, it can't be done," Shopkeeper Liu was startled by Su Xiao's boldness and hurriedly refused, "How can you accept such a valuable thing for no reason..."
"Just accept it, I have something else to ask of you!" Su Xiao tried to persuade her half-heartedly, but the old shopkeeper couldn't resist, so he had to accept it awkwardly.
"In the future, I will continue to deliver a larger amount of medicinal materials. If there are more goods released, it will definitely attract the attention of others."
"You also know that I am alone with two children now, and it is really inconvenient for me to show up outside, so please keep it a secret for me and never mention my matter to anyone!"
"I'm afraid I'll have to come to the store quite a few times in the future. For the sake of convenience, I'd like to recognize you as my godfather and the great-grandfather of my babies. I just don't know what your wishes are."
Su Xiao looked at the old shopkeeper and said with a shy smile.
As early as after selling the ginseng, she asked Mr. Jiang about Shopkeeper Liu and found out that his pharmacy had been in business for 20 to 30 years, but the business had been tepid and he could barely make ends meet.
It stands to reason that there are only two drug stores in the county. Even if the business is bad, they are not much different. After all these years, they should have saved some family business. Why is this shop still leaking everywhere?
Speaking of this matter, Mr. Jiang was also quite emotional. It turned out that shopkeeper Liu was a very kind-hearted person. When he encountered poor people who came to buy medicine, he was often soft-hearted and just waived the money for the medicine.
If the patient's family is really poor, he sometimes has to throw in some rice, flour, and clothes. Therefore, even if the business is good, his own life has always been tight.
Su Xiao heard about these things about the old shopkeeper, and she admired him very much. In addition, he had no children, so he had the idea of recognizing their relationship.
After acknowledging her marriage, she can legitimately take care of the elderly, and she has a place to stay in the county. It will be more convenient to start a business in the future.
"Girl Su, are you telling the truth?" The old shopkeeper stared at Su Xiao for a long time, tears gradually filling his eyes, "I am a lonely old man, are you really willing to recognize me as your grandfather!"
"Of course, from now on, I will treat you as my grandfather!" Su Xiao looked at Shopkeeper Liu and said with a sweet smile.
They say blood is thicker than water, but compared to the kind-hearted old man in front of her, her so-called "blood relatives" are simply worse than strangers who meet by chance on the road!
As old woman Sun did, she would rather provide for shopkeeper Liu until her old age than let the old Diao woman take any advantage!
"Yeah, okay, okay, my old man also has a granddaughter and a great-grandson. I'm happy, I'm really happy..."
After Shopkeeper Liu swallowed his words, he covered his eyes with both hands, tears streaming down his fingers.
He has been guarding this shop alone for his whole life, and all the blessings he had accumulated have come true today!
Seeing shopkeeper Liu burst into tears, Su Xiao felt a little sad in her heart. She thought of her parents and relatives in her previous life, who would probably never have the chance to see each other again in her lifetime...
She gritted her teeth, suppressed the pain in her heart, and persuaded Shopkeeper Liu to hold back her tears. Then she went to the carriage and took the two children down and asked them to come in and recognize them.
"Baby, this is my mother's godfather. You two want to call me great-grandpa. Come on, call him!"
"Hello, grandpa!" Now, with Su Xiao's encouragement and education, the two children no longer recognize children very much. They looked up at Shopkeeper Liu curiously and shouted in a sweet voice.
"Okay, okay!" Shopkeeper Liu was completely at a loss. He could only keep saying the word "ok" and seemed to be unable to find a second word to describe his mood at this time!
"I have a great-grandfather, and I like my great-grandfather!" Since Dafu became cheerful again, he has become more and more capable of being a social cow. He smiled and threw himself into the arms of shopkeeper Liu.
Shopkeeper Liu was a little embarrassed at first, but he quickly adapted to his new identity. He carried Dafu around the room and read him the name on the small drawer.
Su Xiao held Xiaofu's hand and looked at the close relationship between her grandfather and grandson, and felt really happy.
Shopkeeper Liu had just said that he had found a treasure when it came to recognizing his relatives. In fact, the same could not be said for the two children.
Because their biological father is unknown, they have been bullied since childhood, and their relatives at home are probably even worse.
Except for Su Xiao's father, they probably have rarely experienced the taste of family affection. Now, although it is a little late, they finally have the opportunity to experience the care and love from their elders!
Shopkeeper Liu hugged Dafu and walked around the store. When he saw Xiaofu staring directly at the box of preserves on the counter, he hurriedly reached for it and placed the whole box in front of Xiaofu.
Xiaofu then smiled with satisfaction, revealing the two small dimples on his lips, reached out and pinched a tangerine peel plum, and ate it deliciously.
Seeing that the two children were well taken care of by Shopkeeper Liu, Su Xiao said hello to him and walked out of the store.
She originally thought about getting some small and unique self-defense weapons for He Dagang and others, but when she thought that she didn't have any handy weapons yet, she might as well customize them together.
It would be best if you could get a machete or something like that, and enjoy your addiction to controlling knives here!
