Chapter 208: Buying Clothes
The woman was finally moved. She stared at the spot where Liu Ergou had disappeared and couldn't help but swallow hard.
I might have really missed out on a Divine Doctor. Who would have thought this kid was so capable? If I had known, I wouldn't have scolded him just now.
At this thought, the woman couldn't help but stomp her foot.
Now I'm in trouble. How am I supposed to ask him to treat me?
Meanwhile, Liu Ergou had already returned to the breakfast shop. He originally thought that Liu Yunxi would have definitely wandered around for a bit after finishing her meal and had even prepared to call her. But to his complete surprise, after eating, Liu Yunxi had simply sat obediently in the shop, waiting for him to come back.
When she saw Liu Ergou return, she immediately waved happily, her face beaming with joy.
"Yun Xi," Liu Ergou called out, hurrying over to her. Once he reached her, he continued, "Don't tell me you've just been sitting here waiting for me this whole time and didn't go out for a walk!"
Liu Yunxi nodded obediently. "Mhm, I couldn't think of anywhere to go, so I just waited here for you!"
Hearing this, Liu Ergou patted her head with a helpless sigh. "Aren't you bored just sitting here?"
But Liu Yunxi shook her head. "Why would I be bored? You were only gone for a little while, not the whole day. By the way, did you ask what kind of medicinal herbs they need?"
The question left Liu Ergou stunned.
Damn it, I was so focused on arguing with Lu Shuangyue's aunt that I completely forgot about the important stuff. This is so embarrassing!
Looking flustered, Liu Ergou ran a hand through his hair, then quickly darted outside to make a phone call.
After a brief conversation, Liu Ergou finally figured out which medicinal herbs Lu Shuangyue needed. He jotted them down and then took Liu Yunxi to buy the seeds.
Although they were seeds for Chinese medicinal herbs, getting them wasn't complicated. To Liu Ergou's surprise, Lu Shuangyue's Baozhi Hall sold them. This meant he didn't have to spend any money; he just made a quick trip to Baozhi Hall and picked up a small packet of the seeds.
After getting them, Liu Yunxi was eager to head home and start planting, but Liu Ergou stopped her. He had just remembered that his sister-in-law's clothes were far too worn out. It was time he bought her some new ones, and since they were already in town, today was the perfect day to do it.
With that in mind, Liu Ergou said to Liu Yunxi, "Yun Xi, let's not rush back. Come with me to buy some clothes first."
Hearing this, Liu Yunxi asked curiously, "Buy clothes? Who are they for?"
Without turning his head, Liu Ergou replied, "Who else? Of course, for the person who's with me! Let's go!"
With that, he took the lead, heading straight for the town's shopping center.
Following behind him, Liu Yunxi's cheeks flushed.
For me? This… this… Don't tell me… Is Liu Ergou about to confess to me? Is that why he wants to buy me clothes?
Her mind started racing with wild thoughts, while Liu Ergou, walking ahead, remained completely oblivious.
The town wasn't very large, and the two of them quickly reached its biggest mall. They went up to the women's clothing floor and headed straight for a designer boutique.
Just as Liu Ergou was about to step inside, Liu Yunxi grabbed his arm firmly. "Er Gou, wait, wait a minute!"
Liu Ergou, stopped in his tracks, turned to her with a confused look. "What's the matter, Yun Xi? Why did you suddenly grab me? Is something wrong?"
Liu Yunxi shook her head vigorously and then whispered, "Er Gou, let's not go into this store. You might not know, but this is a designer brand. Everything inside is really expensive. Even a simple piece of underwear costs several hundred yuan. Let's go somewhere else! I asked around before we came; there's an affordable women's clothing store nearby with good quality stuff. Let's go there instead!"
She tried to drag Liu Ergou away, but her strength was no match for his. No matter how hard she pulled, she couldn't move him an inch and only ended up exhausting herself.
Seeing her panting, Liu Ergou said with a grin, "Alright, relax. It's okay. I may be a bit poor, but I can still afford clothes. It's just a designer store, no big deal! Come on, just point out whatever you like. I can definitely afford it, don't worry! This is easy for me!"
But even after his reassurance, Liu Yunxi still refused. "Forget it, Er Gou. Did you forget you still have to lease that wasteland? That's 150,000 yuan. If you spend your money here, how are you going to afford the land?"
Liu Ergou didn't want to argue anymore. With a single flex of his arm, he simply lifted her up and carried her toward the women's clothing store. Now completely powerless to resist, Liu Yunxi could only watch helplessly as she was carried inside.
A sales associate saw them enter and immediately greeted them with a smile. "Welcome!"
However, when the associate looked up and got a clear view of Liu Ergou and Liu Yunxi, her expression immediately soured. Before they could take another step, she was already waving her hands impatiently.
"Get out! Get out! Don't you see where you are? How dare you just walk in here? This is a designer women's clothing store. Do you two hicks look like you can afford anything here? Get out now and don't waste my time!"
She gestured dismissively, trying to shoo them out of the store.
Startled by the associate's hostility, both of their expressions turned ugly. A surge of anger flared up in Liu Ergou. "What's your problem? What did we do to you? We came here to buy clothes, and this is your attitude? Are you sick or something?"
Hearing his words, the associate sneered and gave him a disdainful look from head to toe. Just as she was about to speak—
