"That's good!" Grandma Sun smiled knowingly, with a sincere smile on her wrinkled face: "Mr. Gu, walk slowly and come often when you have time. It doesn't matter if you don't pay for it. A bowl of yokan...Old lady, I You can still afford it.”
These words are exactly like when Granny Sun invited Gu Ning'an to come and eat yokan, word for word...
Gu Ning'an cupped her hands and said, "Then I'll thank Granny Sun first."
"You're welcome." Granny Sun waved her hand and watched Gu Ning'an go away.
"Why?"
Looking at the back figure in the green shirt, Granny Sun's cloudy eyes suddenly flashed with clarity: "I must have seen this back figure, old lady."
"mother!"
"I finally found you!"
A rapid shout rang out, interrupting Grandma Sun's thoughts.
From what he heard, it turned out to be a middle-aged man of about fifty.
The middle-aged man looks very similar to Grandma Sun, but his expression is a little more philistine. He is Grandma Sun's son "Jin Wan".
After finding his mother, the anxiety on Jin Wan's face faded away. He first glanced at the back of the green shirt at the end of the road, and then at the empty dishes on the wooden table beside him: "Mom, did Mr. pay for the meal? ?”
Snapped!
Grandma Sun patted her son on the shoulder and scolded her in a low voice: "Keep your voice down, Mr. Ren will listen, and you still think you are your mother and I am just talking nonsense!"
"Mr. Gu has placed the money next to the dishes. Go and collect the dishes and chopsticks."
"Mr. Gu?" Combined with seeing the back of a man in a green shirt and hearing the somewhat familiar last name, Jin Wan couldn't help but pause for a second before walking towards the wooden table.
"Mom! The meal money here and there is clearly a blank piece of paper!" After just a glance, Jin Wan started yelling.
"Keep your voice down! Keep your voice down!" Grandma Sun waved her hand and walked quickly towards the table.
When she saw a piece of white paper folded into a square beside the table, she couldn't help but be stunned.
Gu Ning'an said before that he had left the money, but she didn't pay attention at all.
After all, in her opinion, twenty pennies was not too much. Gu Ning'an was a regular customer and a scholar, so he didn't look like someone who would trick her into giving her a meal of yokan.
"No! I have to go get that scholar back!"
"You eat and drink for free on my mother's head, and you don't even bother to ask who I, Jin Wan, am!"
As he spoke, Jin Wan rolled up his sleeves and ran in the direction Gu Ningan left!
"Hey! Hey! Hey!" Grandma Sun grabbed the hem of her son's clothes and almost didn't fall down with Jin Wan.
Seeing this, Jin Wan had to stop and support his mother.
I saw her brows furrowed, her face trembling slightly, and she said with a displeased look on her face: "Mom! Tell me about you, I told you not to come out to set up a stall, not to let you come out to set up a stall!"
"You must not listen! It's better now... It's just that I was eaten and drunk by that idiot earlier. After all, where can his grandfather ask for money?"
"Now that the scholar has disappeared, doesn't that mean he has lost twenty copper coins?"
Grandma Sun took a long breath and said: "Forget it, he is a scholar, it may be a temporary difficulty... When he gets rich in the future, he will definitely come back and give money."
"The future! The future!" Jin Wan suddenly remembered something and said angrily: "Isn't that the same poor scholar back then? I got almost twenty meals on credit from you!"
"The result! Now that the building is empty, I wonder if the yard has been sold to others by him a long time ago!"
Hearing this,
Granny Sun looked suspicious: "Really? Why don't I remember it at all?"
Seeing his mother's appearance, Jin Wan was angry and helpless: "That's it, just treat it as a waste of money and to eliminate disaster."
"But mother, you have to promise me that you will never go out to set up a stall again in the future."
"Keep it at home with peace of mind!"
Seeing her son's eyes full of disappointment, Grandma Sun was silent for a moment, then she just responded and then reached out to clear away the dishes and the white paper on the table.
As soon as she got the paper, Grandma Sun's face couldn't help but change: "There is something wrapped in this white paper."
Hearing this, Jin Wan hurriedly came over, took the white paper, and unfolded it in a few seconds.
"Silver!" Jin Wan was surprised, and at the same time, he took the knuckle-sized piece of broken silver into his hand and weighed it gently: "One or two of them!"
The broken silver emits a "moving" silver light in the sunlight.
"This...what should we do?" As she spoke, Granny Sun looked around anxiously: "Jin Wan, help me quickly catch that gentleman back. He has given too much!"
Jin Wan clasped his palms together and hissed: "Mom! Please keep your voice down. This money is given to you by that gentleman, and it belongs to us."
"Why are you still chasing after others?"
"Besides, this person has already left, so why should I chase him?"
Upon hearing this, Granny Sun's voice became even louder: "Nonsense! How much should you charge for a bowl of yokan?"
Knowing that his mother was stubborn, Jin Wan was about to change the subject when he caught a glimpse of writing on the unfolded white paper.
"Mom, look!"
"There is writing on this paper!"
As he spoke, Jin Wan clicked on the handwriting on the paper and read word for word: "In the past, there were nineteen yokan on credit. Counting today's total twenty, with interest, one tael will settle the account."
After finishing reading, Jin Wan couldn't help but murmured: "Nineteen bowls of yokan, this nineteen... I remembered it!"
"That's the poor scholar who lived in Ansi Courtyard more than 20 years ago!"
"I asked why this surname Gu is so familiar. It turns out to be him!"
Grandma Sun grabbed her son's arm and shook it: "Son, what are you talking about? Why can't you understand a word?"
"The meaning of the note left by Mr. Gu who was having dinner today is that he gave us nineteen bowls of yokan on credit?"
"Including today's money, it's only four hundred coins, or less than one tael of silver!"
"Also, Mr. Gu looks like he is only in his twenties. How did he eat our yokan more than 20 years ago?"
"Twenty years old?" Jin Wan selectively ignored the first two questions of my mother, but stayed on the last question: "No, if the scholar surnamed Gu is, he should be in his forties. .....Could he be his heir?"
Granny Sun still wanted to ask more questions, but Jin Wan interrupted: "It's done, don't worry, Mom, I will figure this out... I'll help you collect the stall first. As for whether Mr. Gu I’m back, I’ll go to An Si Courtyard and inquire about it then.”
Hearing this, Granny Sun nodded and said, "Okay, if you find that gentleman, remember to return the extra money to him."
"I know! Mom!"
"You are the only good guy!"
Jin Wan responded angrily, but he had his own plan in mind...
