The Fierce Farm Girl Has A Secret Space

Chapter 992: Chapter 992: Too Expensive (5)

Huichun Hall’s backdoor.

The one who opened the door was a young lad, who cautiously poked his head out for a look. When he laid eyes on Fatty Hao, only then did he fully open the gate.

”It’s an appointment with Doctor Gai,” said Hao Jian, somehow producing a fan from nowhere. In the dead of winter, he gave it a symbolic flutter.

The lad glanced at Yang Ruxin and the three others, then gave Fatty Hao a nod, ”Wait a moment,” before he closed the door again.

”All the capable doctors are so full of themselves!” Hao Jian chuckled sheepishly, worried Yang Ruxin might get angry, ”And if you aren’t referred by someone they know, they won’t even see you.”

Yang Ruxin, on the other hand, nodded, ”Understandable.”

About five minutes later, the courtyard door opened again, and it was the same young lad, ushering the group inside.

The backyard of Huichun Hall was spacious, with a portion filled with wooden racks holding burlap sacks stuffed with various herbs.

The lad didn’t lead the group straight ahead, but instead, took them through a Moon Sect gate, past a small garden, and then to several rooms.

”Family Head, your guests are here,” the lad respectfully knocked twice at a door and then stepped away.

”Come in.” A voice quickly responded from inside the room.

Hao Jian stepped forward to push the door open and gestured for Yang Ruxin and her companions to enter.

Gu Qingheng was the first to go in.

Following him, Yang Ruxin entered the room, which wasn’t very large. There were two more rooms on each side, veiled by curtains, obscuring the view inside. The man inside was a lean old man, sporting a pair of goatee whiskers, two straight eyebrows, and a pair of triangular eyes—all in all, a sleazy look.

”Who’s getting dental work?” Gai Datong glanced over the group. ”You know the drill, right?”

”The drill? What drill?” Yang Ruxin looked completely puzzled.

”The drill is the drill,” Gai Datong lifted an eyelid. ”What kind of replacement are you looking for?”

”Of course, the best,” Yang Ruxin chuckled, then pointed at Shadow Seven, ”My dear Seventh Brother here isn’t married yet. He was already somewhat jaded to begin with, and now with a big chunk missing from his front tooth, he whistles whenever he speaks. Which girl would fancy him? We’ve all been so worried about him... Thanks to Young Master Hao’s introduction, we’re here, so it definitely has to be a good one...”

The expressionless face of Shadow Seven twitched. He was jaded? He thought himself passable at worst.

Gu Qingheng immediately shot him a glare as if to say, if Ruxin says you’re jaded, then just be jaded.

With a sigh, Shadow Seven realized there was truth in what Shadow Three told everyone: the family head indeed spoiled his future wife.

Gai Datong glanced at Shadow Seven, ”Open your mouth.”

Shadow Seven looked at Gu Qingheng before opening his mouth.

”One hundred silver for the best,” Gai Datong nodded. ”Pay now, and come for the replacement after the fifteenth of the first lunar month.”

”Why does it take so long? Just in case...”

”That’s the rule here,” Gai Datong glowered at Yang Ruxin.

”But it’s just one tooth, why so expensive? Can’t you...”

”Can’t,” Gai Datong waved dismissively, ”If it’s too pricey, feel free to leave.”

”It’s not expensive!” Hao Jian hastily pulled out a silver note and handed it over, ”Sister Ruxin, it’s only a hundred silver. I’ll cover it...”

”No, it’s not that I don’t have the money, it just seems too expensive. A hundred silver that I’ve saved over a long time...” Yang Ruxin quickly waved her hands, ”Since we’re acquaintances, how about a discount?”
