When She Stops Being Dramatic novel Chapter 409

Chapter 409: Chapter 148: The Green Tea Side Character in a Period Novel (35)

On the second day after the storefront opened, the long line of customers snaked around the block. Chi Yun’er couldn’t get away, so she asked a nurse to explain the situation to Mrs. Jiang.

Mrs. Jiang had originally called Father and Mother Fang to come over first thing in the morning. But since her real prospective daughter-in-law was too busy, it created the perfect opportunity to make the Fang family feel awkward. She deliberately waited for them to arrive before finding a young nurse to give them a casual, dismissive reception, ensuring they wouldn’t run into Fang Yuying beforehand.

Father and Mother Fang were thrilled. ’The Jiang Family must have agreed to our children’s relationship,’ they reasoned. ’Why else would they have called us for a family meeting?’

They tried hard to contain their excitement and joy, their hands trembling slightly as they periodically tried to fish for information from the young nurse.

"What’s your last name, miss?"

"Kyoto General Hospital is certainly a special place. It’s so busy with people coming and going. As the head nurse, Mrs. Jiang must be busy all day, right?"

"And Yihua’s father, Mr. Jiang... I hear he’s a chief physician here. In any other hospital, a position like that would be equivalent to the director!"

Father and Mother Fang said they worked at a district hospital, but to be precise, it was in a small town. In their eyes, Kyoto General Hospital was the absolute pinnacle of the medical field!

Father Fang managed to keep a straight face and stop himself from chattering away.

But Mother Fang couldn’t hold back. Like a curious child, she was eager to hear the young nurse praise the impressive Jiang couple. ’These are our future in-laws, after all!’

She was already starting to calculate in her head how much would be an appropriate bride price.

’Father Jiang and Mrs. Jiang were front-line workers. Their jobs were grueling and required exceptional skill and extensive experience, so their salaries were higher than the support staff’s.’

’Conservatively, the two of them must make at least 150 or 160 a month, right?’

’Even with both their sons sent down to the countryside as educated youth, and sending each of them twenty, and with a young daughter still at home, the old couple’s financial burden wasn’t heavy. They could probably save seventy or eighty a month.’

’And a year is...’

’They’ve been working for over twenty years... Oh my god!’ Thinking of that astronomical sum, Mother Fang began to tremble with excitement.

’Fang Yuying = The Jiang Family’s eldest daughter-in-law = The future matriarch of the Jiang Family = The Jiang Family’s money is all for the Fang family!’

The nurse secretly rolled her eyes and said coolly, "It’s busy in the morning. Patients all tend to show up at once. Our head nurse is completely tied up."

"If you want to wait, you can keep drinking your tea. If you have something urgent, schedule for another day."
