Mo Huai was beaten badly and had to stay at home to recover for nearly a month. Apparently, the two elderly did not give him the one thousand yuan.
They were angry whenever they thought about how their grandson and great-grandsons were suffering in the countryside. How could they give their money to an outsider?
However, all these had nothing to do with Mo Beihan and Gu Qingyao. They lived their peaceful life in the provincial capital.
Everyone restarted their jobs and life was quite peaceful. Gu Qingyao still visited the black market very often. The number of supplies in her hand was only valuable in the current generation.
After Mo Beihan was here, the frequency of visiting the black market increased. The stuff they exchanged back multiplied with Mo Beihan’s help.
There were many rich people in the provincial capital. Though they might not get jewelry or old items in return, some rich families gave them cash directly. Gu Qingyao did not reject that as well.
Her savings multiplied exponentially recently.
She still visited Old Master Qin according to the schedule to treat Jiang Yiru.
Gu Qingyao went over with Mo Beihan one night. Jiang Yiru was much better now and appeared more radiant and energetic.
She looked pale and old back then. But now she appeared even younger.
Today was the last time for acupuncture. She would just need to take her medicines on time in the future.
Gu Qingyao kept her needles and handed over Old Master Qin a little bottle.
“Grandpa Qin, this is the medicine. Our acupuncture sessions ended. Just take the medicine on time. Here is the dose for a month. I’ll come over again after one month.
“According to Grandma Qin’s situation, she will be fine in half a year eating the medicine. Just keep nourishing and she should be in good health.”
The old lady suffered from poison for a couple of decades. Old Master Qin was surprised by the current treatment effect.
He took over the bottle carefully and stared at Gu Qingyao, “Young lady, you saved our lives. If we did not meet you, I can’t imagine what will happen to us. Now I have two things to tell you.
“First is the reward I promised earlier if my wife could be cured. The reasoning behind your treatment was clear to us and based on her current situation, she would recover very soon. I should give you the rewards.”
After he finished his words, he dragged out a little box under the bed and another parcel from a corner of the room. Then he took out another box from the kitchen of similar size.
The first box contained gold.
Old Master Qin said, “Gold is the universal currency now. I know that you may not need money but jewelry is more troublesome. So, I prepared a box of gold. Please accept it.”
The little parcel was full of old objects that could be considered real antiques.
“Actually, we’ve hidden more than these back then, but all of them are in Jiangnan. I’m not sure what might happen to them. We only brought those small and delicate items with us when we travelled here. The provincial capital had Jiang family’s business and that was how we managed to bring these things here.”
