Chapter 114: Asking For Help (1)
As a person from another world, Duan Yixin was confused when she heard Sun Dagou’s words. Seeing her confused look, Sun Dagou thought she didn’t know about this ritual because she lost her mother just after she was born, and Grandpa Duan was always busy taking care of patients and had no time to teach her.
Sun Dagou thought for a while and said, "If you don’t know how to choose an auspicious day or don’t know how to prepare for the ritual, you can ask Brother Chi for help. I heard that you have a good relationship with his family. If you ask for help, they should be willing to help you. I only know a few words, so I can’t help you find an auspicious day."
Duan Yixin thought for a few seconds and said, "I understand, Uncle Sun. I will go find Uncle Chi and ask him about this matter."
Before Duan Yixin took a step, Sun Dagou stopped her, "Xin Niang, wait for a moment."
Duan Yixin turned to look at him and asked, "Uncle Sun, is there anything else I need to prepare?"
Sun Dagou took out his money pouch and said, "Xin Niang, this is the money left after I paid the workers and bought the cooking ingredients. I spent two taels of silver to pay the workers’ wages and three hundred copper coins to buy the cooking ingredients. Including the thousand copper coins you gave my daughter-in-law, the remaining money is eight taels of silver and seven hundred copper coins."
Duan Yixin looked at him for a few seconds before she took the money. She gave him one hundred copper coins and said, "This is your wage, Uncle Sun."
After she kept the money, Sun Dagou hesitated for a second before asking, "The remaining ingredients..."
Duan Yixin smiled at him and said, "Uncle Sun, keep the rest of the cooking ingredients. Think of it as my thanks to your family for your help these days."
