Chapter 40 – Come Again Tomorrow (明天再来)
When the old man heard her, his expression became a bit more intense. “Your surname is Jing? What’s your father’s name? Mother? Who else is in your family?”
Jing Yunzhao felt even more perplexed.
“Excuse me, old senior. I’m an orphan. I’m the only one in my family.” Jing Yunzhao replied.
Ye Qin was already dead. She had also already left The Qiaos, and her biological parents’ whereabouts were unknown. Whether they were alive or dead was also unknown, so calling herself an orphan wasn’t pushing it.
After Jing Yunzhao finished talking, the old man’s eyebrows were all clumped together. He reached out his hands to pull Jing Yunzhao back into the yard. “Then are you a native here? Do you know a woman surnamed Xu (徐)? She’s around in her forties…”
Jing Yunzhao was a bit dumbfounded. She nodded and then shook her head. Her expression was a bit stiff.
The old man stared at her again for a while, the disappointment in his eyes clearer than before.
“Looking closely, she doesn’t look that similar. Too young, eyebrows too perceptive, the light in her eyes also aren’t gentle enough. Looks too heroic…” the old man muttered some inexplicable words. He took a deep breath and looked a bit unsteady. The middle-aged man beside him quickly rushed up to help him, but the old man waved him away. “This old man’s surname is Xu. Sorry for unsettling you earlier. Little girl, I hope you don’t mind it
“It’s okay, grandpa.” Looking at him, Jing Yunzhao couldn’t blame him.
The old man surnamed Xu looked very worn out and turned around to go back to the house. But after a few steps, he turned around and looked at her, “Do you have more goods to sell?”
Jing Yunzhao nodded. She still had a lot of stuff.

“Come again tomorrow at the same time.”
The old man left with these few words.
Jing Yunzhao only thought that it was a strange, but then she realized that this was why the people at pharmacy described him as a weird, grumpy old man. You couldn’t find anyone as eccentric as him in the entire Huaning county.
Either way, he was only an old man. She wasn’t worried about what he would do to her. She still had the ability to protect herself.
Jing Yunzhao went directly home. When she arrived, she saw that Su Chu was looking worried and on the sofa beside Su Chu sat a boy. He looked clean, neat and was pretty good-looking. He was probably Gan Jinchen.
“Biao-jie, you’re much braver than we are. You’re out so late at night, aren’t you afraid that you might come across bad guys?” Su Chu was finally relieved when she saw Jing Yunzhao.
“I had things to take care of. I apologize for worrying you.” Jing Yunzhao had been used to being ignored and neglected. So she didn’t think that someone would be home waiting for you nor did she think to tell them beforehand.
Gan Jinchen glared at her. Without saying a word, he returned to his bedroom.
Jing Yunzhao understood the look he gave her. It seemed like he held suspicion and disdain towards her
After all, Grandpa Gan took her in as his god-granddaughter. He, the biological grandson, would definitely feel uncomfortable to some extent, especially since her reputation was pretty bad.
“Biao-ge’s temper is weird. You don’t need to worry about him!” Su Chu, on the other hand, was quite lively and stuck out her tongue in the direction of Gan Jinchen.
Thinking back to what the strange old man told her, Jing Yunzhao decided to explain the situation to Su Chu. Just in case she got worried again. However, the matter of selling medicinal materials was alas unusual, so she didn’t mention it.
“Oh yeah, Chuchu, you talked about a test yesterday. Is it the one requested by grandpa?” Jing Yunzhao suddenly remembered the matter and asked.
Su Chu’s face turned bitter and grumbled, “Yeah! Ever since Biao-ge and I were little, Grandpa had set us a goal. In the future, we must study medicine. Even if it’s western medicine! So he would give us a test every month. The questions are all super hard! Wait… Biao-jie, how did you know that it was Grandpa’s request… C-could it be that he also…”
