Earning money to support the family?
To support his little sister and her husband’s little household?
Actually, she had always known that Meng Lanqing spent money like water, and most of Meng Zhuqing’s earnings were given to Meng Lanqing in filial piety. Now, there was Gong Juechen, this walking ATM...
At this moment, An Jing really wanted to ask Meng Lanqing where all his money had gone.
Wang Youbao, hearing Gong Juechen saying woefully that he had to make money to support the family, immediately felt sympathy, thinking Gong Juechen must be living a very miserable life.
Then, Wang Youbao clasped his hands and said, "Young Master Gong, if you don’t mind, you could work at the restaurant An Jing, Changyi, and I run together. I can offer you a higher wage."
Gong Juechen’s bewitching face remained tilted toward the sky, but his peach blossom eyes glanced at Wang Youbao mischievously and asked, "How much higher?"
Wang Youbao, with good intentions, said, "Two taels of silver a month, how does that sound?"
Gong Juechen’s gaze returned to the sky as he said indifferently, "I can sell a single pill for several hundred taels. If I were to work for you, how long would it take to earn a few hundred taels?"
Wang Youbao: "..." Was he being played?
An Jing laughed and said, "Youbao, don’t bother with him, he’s always . Right, he’s the palace doctor, Gong Juechen, who I told you cured my Yun Er. His sister, Gong Juese, married Meng Lanqing, and he followed his sister, so he’s also settled in Qilin County."
Pausing for a moment, An Jing continued with a smile, "His medical skills are superb, he really doesn’t lack money. He only mercilessly overcharges those who come to him for treatment or who buy his expensive pills when he’s out of money. However, he doesn’t like to take money, almost all of it goes to his sister."
Wang Youbao immediately responded with respect, "So, you’re the renowned doctor, Gong. My apologies for my earlier behavior."
Gong Juechen frowned and said, "Youbao, why so formal? Aren’t we friends? You’re being too distant."
Wang Youbao: "..." It was only one-sided, I never admitted you were my friend...
However, Gong Juechen didn’t wait for Wang Youbao’s response and continued, "Don’t forget what I told you. If you promise someone a pretty girl, you must introduce her to me. If you don’t introduce us, just tell me secretly, I’ll climb over the girl’s wall and cook the uncooked rice first."
An Jing annoyed: "Gong Juechen, with this attitude, even if Youbao knows any pretty girls, he won’t dare to introduce them to you! What’s the difference between you and a skirt-chaser!"
Gong Juechen replied, "I don’t just go after any flower."
An Jing: "..." Is that really the point?
Wang Youbao silently turned his back to Gong Juechen, tending to the child together with Xiao Changyi.
But Gong Juechen shamelessly sidled up to Xiao Changyi, his face beaming: "Yi——" Yi.
Xiao Changyi’s murderous gaze swept over, Gong Juechen blinked and then, with a cheeky smile, corrected himself: "Brother Changyi——"
Xiao Changyi’s murderous gaze swept over again, Gong Juechen fell silent for a moment and then straightened up: "Changyi."
Xiao Changyi’s murderous gaze did not return to Gong Juechen again.
Wang Youbao: "..." Is it that my killing intent is not strong enough?
An Jing couldn’t help but laugh. Gong Juechen liked to pick a character from someone’s name and repeat it. Like calling her Jingjing, or calling Gong Juese: Se Se.
Unfortunately, her husband very much disliked this.
Calling her Jingjing was okay, but don’t even think about calling him Yi Yi!
