Bigoted Mr. Fu Lets Me Do Whatever I Want

Thinking that there might be medicinal herbs on the mountain, Qin Shu was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, she stood at the entrance of the pharmacy and waited for the old man to come out.

After the old man counted the money, he put it into the cloth bag like a treasure and covered it tightly. Only then did he turn around and slowly walk out.

Qin Shu waited for the old man to come out before going up and asking, “Old Man, which mountain did you dig up the mountain ginseng from? Why don’t I see any mountains nearby?”

If there were mountains near Imperial College, one should be able to see the silhouettes of the mountains by standing here. However, Qin Shu had been walking around for a whole day and did not see the silhouettes of any mountains, so she felt that it was a little strange.

The old man looked at the young fair maiden in front of him. “You asked where the mountain is. Are you trying to steal the business of an old man like me?”

Qin Shu hurriedly shook her head. “No, no, I just would like to know where it is. My friend is short of a medicinal herb, so I would like to go up the mountain to look for it.”

The old man raised his white eyebrows. “Although I’m old, I’m not muddle-headed. If you’re trying to trick me.”

“…”

He was indeed not stupid, but rather very shrewd.

“Old Man, I’m still a student, and I don’t lack money. If you tell me, I can give you a reward.”

At the mention of money, the old man’s eyes lit up. “Then how much do you plan to offer? Is it as much as the price of the three ginsengs just now?”

The old man’s reaction let Qin Shu know that he was the kind of miser who liked money very much.

“I can double it for you.”

Hearing that it was doubled, the old man narrowed his eyes with joy. Then, he glanced at the little girl in front of him warily, as if he wanted to see if she was teasing him. Oh, this old man.

“How could a student like you have so much money? Then show it to me. This old man has never seen so much money in one go.” The old man could not help but question.

Qin Shu only had a small amount of cash on her. Most of the time, she paid with her card and mobile phone, where it was convenient and fast.

“I don’t have so much cash on me. If you don’t believe me, Old Man, you can follow me to the nearest ATM. I’ll take it out and show it to you.”

Hearing that, the old man felt that it was very troublesome. He felt that the little girl in front of him must have deliberately tricked him.

“Then aren’t you delaying my return time? I still have to catch the bus. If I’m late, I wouldn’t be able to make it back home.”

Qin Shu’s gaze swept around and saw the bank sign not far away. She pointed at the bank not far away and said, “The ATM is just over there. It’s also very fast to withdraw money. It wouldn’t take much of your time.”

The old man followed the little girl’s gaze and looked over, and also saw the bank. The old money grubber was a little tempted when he thought of the double price, so he nodded. “Then I’ll reluctantly go with you.”

Qin Shu let out a sigh of relief. She brought the old man all the way to the bank. The bank would have an ATM.

Qin Shu asked the old man to wait outside while she went in to withdraw the money.

The old man nodded and stood outside holding his cloth bag.

...

Withdrawing the money was actually very fast. It was just that she could not withdraw too much each time. Qin Shu only withdrew enough money across several times. In order to be safe, she took out some more cash in case she needed it.

Qin Shu walked out with the money and saw the old man leaning against the door with his cloth bag. Seeing her come out, he stood up straight again.

Qin Shu waved the two stacks of money in her hands in front of the old man. “Old Man, you tell me where the mountain is, and this money is your reward.”
