CHAPTER 187: CHAPTER 187: WE’RE EASY TO SUPPORT

Upstairs, Ah Hu closed the door and Lin Shuo asked, "Out of silver?"

Ah Hu nodded with a bitter expression.

Lin Shuo asked again, "Have you settled the inn charges?"

Ah Hu pulled out that small piece of silver, "There’s still over three taels left, should be enough for the inn."

Lin Shuo sighed, "And the medical fees still haven’t been paid? What should we do?"

Ah Hu looked at Lin Shuo and kept shaking his head.

The two stared at each other for a while, then Lin Shuo suddenly said, "Alright, don’t worry, I have an idea about the medical fees."

Ah Hu nodded and immediately beamed with joy, indeed he wasn’t worried at all.

The two waited until midday to go downstairs for lunch.

Once downstairs, they saw that the father-daughter drumming duo had already left.

Yun Jiao and her family were eating.

Ah Hu and Lin Shuo also ordered some porridge and sat down to eat slowly.

Once Yun Jiao was done with her meal and got up, Lin Shuo suddenly called out to her, "Doctor Gu, wait a moment."

Yun Jiao guessed that this was about settling the medical fees, and smiled at him.

Lin Shuo’s face was slightly flushed, "Um, Doctor Gu, it’s really unfortunate, we’ve run out of silver."

Yun Jiao was somewhat surprised, but then felt it was not surprising at all.

She saw Ah Hu hand over twenty taels of silver when buying that carriage.

Without taking the horse.

The value of a carriage is really in the horse, that carriage might only be worth a few taels of silver at most.

Spending money without thinking, they can spend however much silver they have.

She was just about to say forget it.

Then Lin Shuo said, "Doctor Gu, both my young master and I don’t have any other capabilities, but we can do a few things, since we owe you medical fees, we could work as guards for you."

Yun Jiao widened her eyes, looking at his obviously expensive silk robes.

She was just about to say she couldn’t afford him, but then Lin Shuo said, "We won’t ask for wages, as long as Doctor Gu provides our meals."

Yun Jiao waved her hands repeatedly, "Forget it, since you have no silver left, I won’t ask for the medical fees."

"I don’t need any guards either."

These aren’t guards; they are young masters.

Who knew Lin Shuo would earnestly say, "Doctor Gu, you saved my life, if I don’t even pay the medical fees, that doesn’t sit right."

"Don’t worry, we don’t eat much, very easy to keep."

"Besides, in your line of work, old, weak, women and children, I think you really need guards."

Jiang Youzhi couldn’t help but frown at the table, old, weak, women and children? Then what does he count as?

Yun Jiao waved her hand, "Really no need, I don’t want the medical fees."

Saying this, she escaped upstairs.

In the evening, Yun Jiao was planning to wash up when she heard a knock on the door.

She guessed it was the waiter bringing up hot water, opened the door, only to see Ah Hu standing outside.

He slipped inside, awkwardly smiled at Mrs. Chen, "I’m looking for Doctor Gu for a bit of a matter."

Mrs. Chen hesitated for a moment, then took the third daughter out.

Ah Hu closed the door, sat by the table, and then awkwardly began, "Um, Doctor Gu, I’m here to hope you’ll agree to my young master’s request."

Yun Jiao waved her hand just as she was about to speak, Ah Hu continued, "I know this request might put you in a tough spot, but I have no choice."

He gave a bitter smile, "You don’t know, ever since my young master left home, he’s been drinking himself stupid every day."

"You’ve seen it, he drank himself to vomiting blood."

"If we hadn’t met you, who knows what situation my young master would be in now."
