In her previous life, Old Lady Feng and her husband were brainwashed by her in-laws and brothers. Burdened by the idea that having daughters meant succession ended, they desperately earned money an...
Chapter 156 Caught on the spot
The shopkeeper specially found some street thugs to help, gave them some money, and told them to get the job done.
"Don't worry, we can definitely do this kind of thing well, as long as the money is in place."
The people in their eyes were filled with greed, and they immediately did this kind of thing. The villagers who were on patrol happened to see them and arrested them immediately.
"You guys are really brave. You actually dare to destroy something like this. Don't tell me you don't want to live anymore, do you?"
They have harvested a lot in recent times, and because of these medicinal herbs, they no longer have to think about spending money.
Arya is their greatest hero, so they are very careful and cautious about this matter, fearing that someone might come and cause trouble.
When the man heard this, fear appeared in his eyes. He immediately knelt on the ground and his words revealed a hint of helplessness.
"Please let me go. We just came here to take a look. We don't know anything and we don't have any intentions."
When everyone heard this, there was no warmth in their eyes. Some even thought they were lying and started to retort.
"Don't say such things here. You must have something on your mind. Otherwise, why would you come here? Did you do this on purpose?"
The villagers' words were very sharp, leaving them no face at all. They just started to retort, and everyone's faces showed a bit of fear.
The man didn't dare to say anything. We thought so much about them and immediately took them to see the county magistrate together.
Finally, after a strict questioning, they found out that it was the shopkeeper who did all this, and they immediately arrested him.
"I really can't interfere with these business matters. After all, everyone has different ideas. I'm afraid I can't help with this matter."
When Erya heard this, she felt very helpless. There was too much warmth in her eyes, and she spoke directly.
"But if this continues, they will definitely do something like this again. I don't think this is acceptable."
She had finally been able to help these people, but she didn't expect it to turn out like this. She felt even more upset, and her eyes didn't show much warmth.
When the old man heard this, a hint of contempt flashed in his eyes, and his tone of voice was very sharp.
"I told you not to do these things. Now that we've made enemies, whatever they do might be right."
After all, their behavior is indeed stealing business here, but these poor people really don’t have the money to go to the hospital for treatment.
When Erya heard this, she didn't feel much emotion, nor did she feel that she had done anything wrong, so she just spoke directly.
"I don't think we have done anything wrong. This is something we should be in charge of."
She was thinking very clearly. She just wanted to help those who were worried. There was nothing wrong with it, so she didn't feel any guilt.
When the shopkeeper heard this, he was very dissatisfied and started cursing, even taking out all his recent anger on them.
"How dare you say that? If it weren't for you, I don't know how good our store's business would be. I don't know how much money I could make!"
All he could think about now was how to make some money from this. He didn't make much money on normal days, and the business in the store was also in jeopardy.
"It's your business to help these poor people, but it's wrong for you not to interfere with my business. Isn't it my responsibility to do something?"
He thought he had a clear conscience, so he didn't feel any guilt about what he said or how he reasoned.
When Erya heard this, her face turned a little green, there was not much warmth in her eyes, and her tone of voice was so direct.
"But no matter what, you shouldn't have done something like this. You clearly knew what we would do, yet you still did it. Didn't you do it on purpose?"
If these people could really afford the money, there would never be a scene like this today. It is obvious that everything was deliberately arranged.
When the shopkeeper heard this, he was not moved at all, and his tone became even more harsh.
"Everyone is like this. Besides, if there is no food, no one can afford to eat, and won't the price of rice go up?"
He didn't think he had done anything wrong, but when he heard this, he was very angry and couldn't help but retort.
When the old man heard this, he actually agreed, but he was also unhappy, so he stood up and said something.
"You are in this profession after all. You have no moral integrity at all when you say such things. It is simply a waste of your position."
After all, everyone still hopes to do their job well without having to think too much, but things have developed to this point.
When the shopkeeper heard this, he found it extremely ridiculous. Not only did the words look down on them, but they even contained a hint of dissatisfaction.
"I don't need to explain myself to anyone. I just need to be true to myself. Besides, have I ever done anything to let you down?"
He was trying to make money in a legitimate way, and there was no reason to criticize him anymore. Everyone thought so.
When Erya heard this, she was very angry, but she didn't know how to express it, so she just said something.
"You haven't done anything wrong to us, but you are most sorry to these people. You shouldn't let them go without medical treatment."
She has met too many people during this period of time, and her heart is becoming increasingly blind with a feeling of not being able to win consecutively.
When the old man saw all this, he felt helpless, but he could only let the people around him see the current truth.
"I don't need to be worthy of anyone. It's enough for me to be worthy of myself. Besides, medical treatment costs money, isn't that a natural thing? I'm not doing charity." The shopkeeper had no fluctuations in his heart, and he said it directly without any passionate dissatisfaction in his heart.
