Zhan Qingyue was filled with rage after listening to the bully's words. Her brows were furrowed in anger, her silver teeth were gritted hard, and her feet became harder and harder.
Using the cover of her sleeves, she took out a handful of poison from the space, stuffed it into the bully's mouth one by one, and finally threw a poison in front of Scarface.
"You have already eaten my poison. If you don't take the antidote within half a month, you will definitely die."
Zhan Qingyue's brows were raised high, and her almond-shaped eyes were filled with utter malice. She bared her teeth and said, "Go and poison Miss Zhou, just use this poison, otherwise, you will die waiting for your intestines to pierce and your belly to rot. "
How dare Scarface disobey, he tremblingly picked up the black poison, solemnly pulled a piece of rag and wrapped it up, and nodded and bowed towards Zhan Qingyue for a while in fear.
"Girl, don't worry, we promise to complete the task."
"Hmph!" Zhan Qingyue's sharp eyes swept over Scarface: "Your life is still in my hands. If you don't want to die, just do as I am told. Don't think of any tricks."
Catching a glance from her, Scarface suddenly felt chills rising, and the back of his neck was feeling cold wind. He didn't dare to neglect at that moment, so he hurried away with a few brothers.
After the bullies left, Zhan Qingyue walked out of the alley, thinking about how many medicinal materials were stored at home, and finally decided to buy some medicinal materials and store them back, otherwise it would be easy to arouse suspicion if they kept appearing out of thin air from the space.
As the saying goes, a common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of having a jade. He cannot give up his wealth and life just because he is reluctant to part with money.
Zhan Qingyue soon walked to a drug store with simple decoration.
There is an antique signboard on the side of the drug store facing the street called: Baicaotang.
This Baicaotang feels very friendly, and it looks like a place where poor people can afford it.
It's not a bit better than the one where she sold Eucommia ulmoides and Chonglou before.
"The shopkeeper's..."
"Shopkeeper! Today is the last day. You Baicaotang should pay the money you owe our company for the medicinal materials."
A carefree voice interrupted Zhan Qingyue's question.
Zhan Qingyue looked back and saw a middle-aged man wearing a dark-gold embroidered blue satin dark coat, carrying a birdcage and walking in with a step that he didn't recognize, followed by a group of thugs with sticks.
Each of these thugs had a ferocious look and swept every corner of the drug store with sharp moves, scaring the few customers to the point where they dropped everything and ran out of the drug store as if running for their lives.
Zhan Qingyue stood in front of the counter without moving.
An old man with a white beard wearing a gray robe smiled apologetically at her.
"Girl, I'm sorry, I have some trouble to solve. Why don't you come back another day?"
"Haha, there will be another day. Doctor Su, is there another day for your pharmacy? Girl, don't believe him. Buy whatever you want elsewhere. This pharmacy will no longer be his."
Dr. Su wiped his sweat in embarrassment and took out a small box from the counter with difficulty.
He opened the box and saw a few broken pieces of silver lying inside, which totaled less than five taels.
"Shopkeeper Yu, I can only get so much money now. Can you give me a few days to sell this pharmacy and I can pay you back immediately?"
The face of the middle-aged man named Shopkeeper Yu suddenly fell, and he grinned as if he was brewing a huge anger.
"Dr. Su, you are making things difficult for me. I have given you grace for several days, but you haven't sold the medicine yet."
Shopkeeper Yu had a livid face and kept tapping on the counter with a plump hand.
"We have been friends for so many years, and you don't know that I paid for this batch of goods, and they are still waiting for the settlement. If you can't come up with the money, you will have to call my business later. Follow and close down shop.”
Dr. Su was so anxious that he pulled out the house deed under the box and looked at it again and again. The pain in his face was even worse than having ten pounds of his flesh cut off.
"How about... you add a little more and take over this pharmacy?"
Dr. Su spoke with difficulty, his deep-set eyes were red and tears were welling up in them.
"Shopkeeper, how much do you plan to sell this pharmacy for?"
While the two of them were arguing, Zhan Qingyue looked around the whole medicine shop. It was in a good location and the size was suitable. It could be used to open a medicine shop.
Dr. Su didn't expect that the woman who had been standing beside him silently would actually ask for the price.
He quickly stretched out his finger and said, "No more, no more, just one hundred and eighty taels of silver."
After saying that, Doctor Su added embarrassedly: "I owe the shopkeeper a total of one hundred and eighty-five taels of silver, and there happens to be five taels here, so girl, if you are willing, give me one hundred and eighty-five taels of silver for this room." The drug store and the yard behind it are yours."
Zhan Qingyue was amused by his honest appearance, and immediately took out one hundred and eighty taels of silver notes.
"Thank you, girl. I will go with you to the government office to go through the transfer procedures later."
Dr. Su took the bank note solemnly and handed it to shopkeeper Yu.
Shopkeeper Yu was also a cheerful person. He collected the money, paid off the IOU, and left in a hurry.
Zhan Qingyue collected the house deed and wandered around the drug store.
Not long after, Dr. Su led ten children around ten years old and walked out carrying bundles.
"Let's go, girl, let's go to the government office to transfer the ownership."
On the way, the three of them chatted for a while, and then Zhan Qingyue realized that the grandfather and grandson would be homeless after leaving this pharmacy.
"Doctor Su, there are people in our village who travel from north to south. We have fled all this way and are not in good health. If you two are willing, I can hire you as village doctors and live in the village. It’s good to take care of each other.”
When Dr. Su heard this, he burst into tears and thanked her profusely for a while.
The three of them returned to the village. After Zhan Qingyue settled the two of them, they happily returned home and slapped the house deed on the table.
"Mom, dad, eldest brother, sister-in-law, second brother, I just bought a medicine shop and plan to build a medicinal diet pavilion."
The Zhan family were stunned. They all looked at the house deed with Zhan Qingyue's name written on it and the big red seal stamped by the government in disbelief. It didn't look like it was a fake.
"Second brother, my eldest brother and sister-in-law are helping me with the soap shop. The medicinal food pavilion is open, so you have to come and help me."
Zhan Qingyue held Brother Zhan's arm and shook it coquettishly.
Brother Zhan was in a daze and didn't realize for a moment that she was actually going to do business with him.
When he opened a soap shop before, he had envied his eldest brother's family, but he didn't expect that Zhan Qingyue was always thinking of him.
Brother Zhan's eyes gradually turned red. He sniffed and pulled Zhan Qingyue's hand away, somewhat dumbfounded.
"Yueyue, how old are you? You still act like a spoiled child like Pingping and others."
He blinked his eyes and held back his tears: "Yueyue, I have done so many stupid things in the past, and you can still treat me like this. It's all because of my fault as a brother. I was too stupid before. I can’t carry it clearly…”
