Chapter 267 Tell the Truth

The stall owner was relieved when he saw that he didn't bargain again. Fearing that they would change their mind later, he quickly took the jade bracelet and went to pack it up.

As soon as the stall owner left, Jiang Hong whispered in Li Yiyi's ear, "Wife, the reason why I didn't bargain with him is because this jade bracelet really suits you. Money can't buy what you love, right?"

Li Yiyi smiled at him, patted the back of his hand, and whispered in his ear, "Well done, this jade bracelet is really expensive, it must be worth fifty yuan."

When Jiang Hong heard the compliment from his wife, he was stunned at first, then he smiled happily.

It seems that the crisis has been resolved. Just now he was worried that his wife would think he was a spendthrift.

In order to complete the business quickly, the stall owner packed the jade bracelet very quickly, and the packaging technique was quite good. If he gave it to someone as a gift, people would probably think it was bought from a store.

"You two, if you want to buy anything in the future, you can come to my stall and take a good look. Our policy has changed now, and you can set up a stall outside. You can come here to find me anytime." After handing over the jade bracelet, the stall owner spoke to the young couple enthusiastically.

Li Yiyi nodded. When she saw his enthusiastic face, she suddenly remembered that he was doing business here and must know which pharmacies there were here.

"Boss, let me ask you, do you know if there are any run-down pharmacies nearby?" So she asked the boss.

The boss was thinking about doing business with them for the second time. When he heard them asking him about something, he immediately introduced it to them enthusiastically, "You've asked the right person. This is where I grew up. No one knows this better than me."

"We have a very old Chinese medicine store here. When we were young, we used to go there to see a doctor. The doctors there were very good, and a visit only cost a few cents. But a few years ago, due to some reasons, the owner of the drugstore disappeared, and the drugstore fell into decline. Now it is run by the owner's grandson, but he is not very good at it. Now there is no patient at all. What a pity."

When Li Yiyi heard this, she pursed her lips. This situation was consistent with the possibility that someone would sell the prescriptions of the Chinese ancestors.

"Boss, can you tell me where the pharmacy is?" she immediately asked sincerely.

"Okay, it's nothing. It's right in front, next to a big banyan tree. I used to climb the tree there when I was a kid. Now so many years have passed, the big banyan tree is still there, but those familiar people are gone." The stall owner said with regret.

After learning the correct location, the couple paid the money and quickly walked to the big banyan tree that the stall owner pointed out with their things.

Because they were on the same street and not far away, the couple quickly found the big banyan tree and saw the dilapidated pharmacy that the stall owner mentioned.

In the past, pharmacies were actually places where patients received medical treatment. Unfortunately, due to the turmoil later on, such places have become less and less common.

When the young couple walked into the quiet pharmacy, there was only a young man sitting there dozing off.

As soon as she walked in, Li Yiyi looked around the pharmacy. Everything inside looked very old. It was obviously a pharmacy, but there was not even the slightest smell of medicine inside.

Jiang Hong deliberately made a snoring sound, waking up the young man who was dozing on the table.

The young man woke up with a yawn and saw a couple coming in. He walked out and greeted them in a leisurely manner, "You two, although this is a pharmacy, we don't sell medicine. Our pharmacy has long been gone. If you want to buy medicine, go to another store."

"Since you don't sell medicine here, why do you hang a pharmacy sign outside? Isn't this cheating?" Li Yiyi asked him with a fake smile.

The young man didn't expect her to ask him this. He was startled at first, then he laughed. "Although I don't sell medicine, I have prescriptions. I sell prescriptions. My ancestors passed down a lot of prescriptions. I don't use them anyway, so I might as well sell them and make money to improve my life."

When Li Yiyi heard this, she sneered in her heart. It was because of these people that the good things of China were flowing abroad. Even in the hands of the enemy.

"From what you said, it seems that you have sold quite a few prescriptions?" she asked coldly.

The young man didn't realize that the atmosphere around him was not right, and replied smugly, "Of course, you don't know, but now many foreigners want our Chinese medicine prescriptions. The money I earn from selling a prescription can allow me to live a good life for several months."

It is better to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks every day than to follow some prescriptions every day.

Li Yiyi sneered, "Have you ever thought that if your ancestors knew that the prescriptions they left behind were wasted by an unfilial descendant like you, would they be so angry that they would come out from underground to settle accounts with you?"

The young man's smug smile turned into a ferocious expression after hearing her provocative words, "Stupid woman, what are you talking about? What does my business have to do with you? Besides, this is my store, you are not welcome, get out of here quickly." After saying that, he was about to push her.

Jiang Hong's eyes immediately showed anger. He reached out and grabbed the hand that he had stretched out to push him. At the same time, he looked at him fiercely and asked, "What do you want to do? Dare to hit my wife and see if I can cripple your hand."

The young man looked at Jiang Hong, who looked like he was not someone to be trifled with, and subconsciously took two steps back, looking at him with fear.

"What are you doing in my store? I didn't provoke you. You were the one who came to my store first." The young man said with a look of grievance.

Li Yiyi looked at his cowardly look and sneered, "How many prescriptions do you have?"

When the young man heard this question, he looked at her with fear and asked, "Why do you want to ask this?"

"I want to buy it. Tell me quickly, how many prescriptions do you have?" she asked a little impatiently.

"There's no more prescription. I don't have it on me. It's sold out," he replied immediately.

Li Yiyi sneered, "Do you think I will believe you if you answer like this? If you don't want me to report you for selling prescriptions to foreigners privately, you'd better answer honestly."

The young man looked at her in horror and asked, "Who are you?"

"You don't need to know this. Have you seen him? Have you seen his temperament? You can't imagine his identity. If you are not afraid of going to jail, tell the truth in the end." She said while pointing at Jiang Hong who was standing beside her.
