Ye Caitang ignored her and quickly walked into the exclusive office of the school doctor. She went straight to the point with the white-haired old man.
“Old man, can you lend me some Chinese herbs?”
“Why do you want Chinese herbs?” Zhang Guozhong frowned at Ye Caitang in confusion.
Ye Caitang quickly typed on her phone and showed it to Zhang Guozhong:
“To treat my voice. I just realized that my throat was poisoned by someone, so I shamelessly came to borrow herbs from you.”
Actually, if she had the money, she would not want to borrow them either.
“What?” When Zhang Guozhong saw the words, he slammed the table angrily and stood up. His face and ears were red as he roared,
“Who was the wicked person who did it?”
“Tell me. I will avenge you.”
“Shh, it’s a secret.” Ye Caitang hurriedly typed for the old man.
“In order to make the villain let down her guard, please keep it quiet for the time being. When I find evidence, I’ll punish her with the law.”
“Come with me to get the herbs.” Grandpa Zhang pulled Ye Caitang’s arm and walked into his Chinese medicine pharmacy.
After Ye Caitang entered the Chinese medicine pharmacy, she stared at the dazzling array of Chinese herbs in there and immediately looked at Grandpa Zhang with admiration.
“Grandpa Zhang, you’re really amazing. There are actually so many rare and precious Chinese herbs hidden here. Some medicinal herbs are as rare as hen’s teeth .
“Boss, I’m so impressed.”
Grandpa Zhang saw the envy in Ye Caitang’s eyes and immediately seized the opportunity to broach the topic.
“Lass, if you’re willing to be my student, you can obtain these things without any effort.”
“What do you think? Do you want to consider it?”
“Ahem… Grandpa Zhang, I’ll write down the names of the Chinese herbs I need for you on paper. Please prepare them for me.”
Ye Caitang was helpless against the old man who asked this question every time they met, so she quickly changed the topic.
Without waiting for Grandpa Zhang to react, she picked up a pen and paper and quickly wrote:
“20 grams of forsythia, 15 grams of Platycodon grandiflorus, 15 grams of Sterculia lychnophora, 9 grams of Pinellia ternata, 8 grams of Wolfiporia extensa, 8 grams of Bombyx Batryticatus, 9 grams of Arisaema, 12 grams of Scrophularia ningpoensis…”
Ye Caitang lowered her head and was writing furiously when a bamboo basket suddenly landed on her hand.
“Lass, you don’t have to write anymore. You can take all the herbs—that can treat your voice—you want.”
Ye Caitang looked at the basket beside her and immediately looked at Grandpa Zhang gratefully.
“Grandpa Zhang, don’t worry. I’ll take note of how much herbs I took. When I have money, I will pay you back every cent.”
Grandpa Zhang patted Ye Caitang’s shoulder gently.
“Lass, it’s a gift from me. Don’t stand on ceremony with me.”
Hearing this, Ye Caitang’s eyes could not help but turn red. She clenched her fists with a complicated expression.
“Grandpa Zhang, thank you…
A stranger who had nothing to do with her was actually more concerned about her than her biological father.
She could not help but wonder if she was really the daughter of Ye Nancheng. “Lass, don’t be so touched that you cry. Others will think that I am bullying you.”
Grandpa Zhang saw Ye Caitang’s red eyes and thought that she was going to cry. He immediately stuffed a tissue into Ye Caitang’s hands.
Seeing the concern in Grandpa Zhang’s eyes, Ye Caitang suddenly broke into a smile and took the tissue.
“Grandpa Zhang, don’t worry. I won’t scam you.”
Grandpa Zhang heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that. There was a loving smile on his face, but in the next second, his heart rate suddenly rose again.
“But the prerequisite is…’
