Chapter 130: Chapter 129: I’m Here to Collect Money

Gu Dabao, panting and out of breath, rushed up to Gu Youyou and said urgently, "Big sister, something’s happened to Sanya; the doctor says we need Macrolepiota. Hurry, save Sanya with the Macrolepiota!"

The main effect of Macrolepiota is to stop bleeding. Gu Youyou furrowed her brow and said, "Slow down and explain clearly, what happened to Sanya?"

"Sanya fell and she’s bleeding a lot; the doctor said we need Macrolepiota!"

Gu Youyou pursed her lips silently, What kind of quack doctor is this? Could it be a swindler we’ve brought in? Although the hemorrhagic effect of Macrolepiota is good, what month is this? Where can we find Macrolepiota now?

There are plenty of herbs that can stop bleeding; it doesn’t have to be Macrolepiota.

"Just wait!" Gu Youyou said.

Then, she went to the winnowing basket at the edge of the yard to collect other herbs that could stop bleeding.

Gu Youyou grabbed two or three kinds of hemostatic herbs. Gu Dabao, out of curiosity, asked, "Big sister, which one of these herbs is Macrolepiota?"

"None of them!" Gu Youyou replied.

Hearing this, Gu Dabao became anxious and stood in Gu Youyou’s way, saying, "That won’t do, big sister, the doctor said only Macrolepiota can properly treat Sanya’s wound, other medicines will leave a scar."

He was thinking that if his sister didn’t use Macrolepiota but used other herbs instead, and if Sanya ended up with a scar on her face, their father and mother would blame the big sister again.

Gu Youyou twisted her mouth and said, "Don’t listen to that good-for-nothing doctor’s nonsense. If big sister says it’s okay, then it’s okay!"

"But..."

"No buts. Having this is better than nothing. Do you want to save Sanya or not?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Dabao nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, we need to save her; come quickly with me, big sister!"

Gu Dabao ran ahead quickly with the herbs Gu Youyou gave him, returning first to the Gu Family home, while Gu Youyou followed behind. Before she could enter the house, she heard her second uncle, Gu Wen, complaining from somewhere inside.

"What? No Macrolepiota? The doctor asked specifically for Macrolepiota, didn’t he make that very clear? What’s the use of bringing back a handful of useless weeds? You can’t even handle this simple thing, how can you be so incompetent?"

Gu Dabao said aggrievedly, "Big sister said these herbs would work."

Gu Wen snorted coldly, "It seems to me she is just too stingy to use it, right? That Macrolepiota must be valuable!"

Gu Youyou, fuming with anger, pushed open the room door and said coldly, "These herbs cost five hundred Wen, Uncle. If you want them, pay me five hundred Wen, or give the herbs back to me.

As for Macrolepiota, why don’t you go harvest it yourself? It’s only what month now? I’d like to see if you’ll be able to bring back any Macrolepiota."

Gu Youyou walked into the Gu Family home as if she were conducting an inspection like a leader. Unfortunately, her frail and delicate physique robbed her of some of her imposing presence despite her beauty.

Her cold gaze swept across the room, and upon spotting that quack doctor, Qin Changlin, she instantly understood why Macrolepiota was demanded – they wanted to lure her out!

Gu Wen was stunned for a moment upon hearing Gu Youyou’s words before he realized what was happening.

He had not expected Gu Youyou to arrive; he assumed his elder son would come back by himself with the medicine.

He forced a chuckle and said, "Youyou is here, huh!"

Gu Youyou responded with a grunt, "Hmm, I’m here. I had to come to collect the silver, didn’t I?"

This comment infuriated Gu Wen enough, while Gu Wen’s younger brother retreated to the side to enjoy the spectacle. Huang Xiangwen signaled Gu Dabao with her eyes. Hesitating for a moment, Gu Dabao then left the room and went to the backyard to look for his grandparents.

Xiangwen had underestimated Gu Youyou; only the old lady and the old man might have a chance to intimidate her.

Gu Youyou watched Gu Dabao leave without any expression, then turned her gaze to Huang Xiangwen.

That look with a faint smile made Huang Xiangwen, who was already feeling guilty, quite uneasy.
