Chapter 130: Just a Transactional Relationship
Mengyu quickly said to Cheng Jiuhe, "Then can I find a time to teach my brother, is that okay?"
She then wondered, perhaps Gu Dongxing also doesn’t know? Should she teach Gu Dongxing?
Cheng Jiuhe, hearing this, felt overjoyed: "Then I’ll thank my sister in advance."
When they arrived at the He Family’s place, those people were already waiting there, each covered with dark clouds overhead, their complexions pale and gray.
As soon as Cheng Jiuhe and Mengyu appeared, Boss He quickly got up from the bed and with a ’thud’ knelt in front of Cheng Jiuhe and Mengyu: "Thank you, my benefactors, for saving my life." Saying this, he was about to kowtow.
Mengyu wanted to support him, but Cheng Jiuhe wouldn’t let his sister do it; he had already rushed to help: "Your body hasn’t recovered, you should go back to your bed."
Boss He still wanted to kowtow, but Cheng Jiuhe was holding him up, and he couldn’t bow down; Cheng Jiuhe forcibly helped him back onto the bed.
Then, he looked around the hall at those people: "These are your brothers?"
Boss He hurriedly said: "Yes, my two brothers are just like me, with Evil Energy in their bodies, just not as severe. My child and his mother are in a slightly better condition."
He looked at Cheng Jiuhe with some nervousness: Just yesterday, the lady treated only his two brothers, and she almost got rebounded by the Evil Energy. Are there too many people today? However, these are his brothers or their family members, he couldn’t neglect to help them.
Cheng Jiuhe glanced at those people and said, "You should know that my sister almost lost her life yesterday while saving you."
Boss He was a bit anxious: "Yes, yes, I know, but they are all my brothers, please help them."
Cheng Jiuhe looked at him for a while, then said, "My sister has no other hobbies except her love for antiques. If you want my sister to drive away the Evil Energy from your bodies, each person should give ten of the Ming Dynasty Items that you have dug up this time."
He didn’t want to hear any talk about life-saving gratitude, about how their lives belonged to you, and such.
His sister, how could she mingle with these people in the future? Therefore, he wanted to simplify their relationship through a transaction.
Mengyu knew her brother wanted to reduce troubles for her, so she simply let her brother make arrangements for her.
Boss He pondered for a moment. Yesterday, his brother had only given seven Ming Dynasty Items as a reward, and he had already told everyone.
Now talking about ten Ming Dynasty Items per person, he didn’t know how to respond.
He thought for a moment before he said, "I can give out all the Ming Dynasty Items that my wife brought back. But for the others, I can’t decide on their behalf."
For Boss He, Mengyu was his lifesaver, who had spent three Yuan Nourishing Pills and almost lost her life to save him and his brother. Therefore, even if he had to give all his possessions to Mengyu, he was willing.
But for others, he really couldn’t decide.
Cheng Jiuhe said indifferently, "You should be aware that yesterday my sister spent three Yuan Nourishing Pills just for you. Do you think those seven Ming Dynasty Items are enough to compensate for my sister’s Yuan Nourishing Pills? Not to mention, my sister also almost lost her life yesterday."
Boss He was dripping with cold sweat: "I’m sorry, I—"
Cheng Jiuhe interrupted him: "Ten Ming Dynasty Items each that you have digged up this time. Since your wife has brought back the Ming Dynasty Items, just make up for the thirteen items you owed from yesterday. We don’t want any extras, and don’t mention anything about your life being my sister’s. She’s still a young lady."
Boss He knew they wanted to make things clear. Between them, it could only be a transactional relationship. That’s it, he thought, as long as he remembers Miss Jiang’s kindness. He dared not say more and could only agree obediently.
