Starting as a Mute Girl? I Thrive in Famine Years

Special forces operative Jiang Huaixu transmigrated, becoming a seemingly dull and mute girl.

Her grandmother secretly abused her and even planned to sell her off? Jiang Huaixu was furious, d...

Chapter 28 Sell, sell, sell

Just as Shopkeeper Wu had put on his trousers, he heard the medicine boy coming over in a hurry. He quickly wiped the sweat from his face and walked out of the toilet.

He stroked his beard while sticking out his belly and scolded, "Why are you so anxious?"

He said this but kept moving his feet. "Is there an emergency?"

"Boss, He Tiezhu is causing trouble again. He was beaten up and brought into the pharmacy!" The medicine boy finished his words quickly. He was really tired and didn't want to see that guy anymore. Although he was just a medicine boy, he was also the nephew of the boss, so he could still help him.

The shopkeeper's face turned pale and he walked a little faster.

When they arrived at the hall, they saw He Tiezhu crying as if his parents had died, and next to him stood a little girl wearing coarse but clean clothes. In front of the little girl were a man and a woman, who looked like a couple.

Jiang Dalang saw the slightly plump middle-aged man standing in front of the medicine boy and immediately guessed that he was the shopkeeper. He stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Shopkeeper, I'm so sorry. We came here to do business with our medicine shop, but we didn't expect that our medicine shop doesn't do this kind of business. This guy even wanted to drive us away with his fists. My little sister was anxious, so...

Although there was some disagreement, I still want to say something. Since the pharmacy is called Baohe, harmony is naturally the most important thing. Harmony brings wealth. Such an impetuous person is really not worthy of Baohetang, one of the best in Huaiyang County.

After saying this, he looked straight at the shopkeeper without any fear.

Jiang Huaixu originally thought that Jiang Dalang wanted to be humble, but he didn't expect that he was actually retreating to advance. With just two simple sentences, he put the blame on the waiter. The last few sentences were openly praising, but actually provoking.

In ancient times, the majority of people were illiterate, and all they relied on was reputation passed down by word of mouth. Therefore, whether it was a doctor or a pharmacy, the most important thing was reputation. If their reputation was bad, they would be on the verge of collapse.

I don't know what the owner of this drug store was thinking when he hired such a shrewd guy to be his clerk.

Thinking of this, Jiang Huaixu added fuel to the fire, "I'm so sorry, I didn't expect that you, who look so fierce, can't even beat a little girl like me. If I had known, I would have been gentler..."

The onlookers glanced at her. This little girl looked thin, but her strength was comparable to that of a strong laborer. The guy was as thin as a monkey, it was strange that he could beat her!

The shopkeeper's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot. This was extremely embarrassing.

If He Tiezhu hadn't been sent in by his boss, he would have kicked him out long ago.

"It's my new guy who doesn't know the rules. I'll definitely discipline him from now on." He winked at the medicine boy and bowed to Jiang Dalang. "I wonder what kind of business you would like to do with our Baohetang?"

"They're just some worthless mushrooms." Jiang Huaixu saw that the shopkeeper was trying to get away with it, so he said first, "Your store has a high barrier to entry, so we won't bother you."

"Brother and sister-in-law, let's go."

"No, we can't let them go!" He Tiezhu, who was sitting on the ground, lay down directly on the ground with a scoundrel look, "This damn girl broke my hand. She can't leave without compensation!"

"Nonsense!" Zheng Li Niang was anxious, "My little sister is not even ten years old, how could she break your hand..."

Zheng Li'niang's tone became increasingly weak, and she was obviously remembering how Jiang Huaixu had pulled He Tiezhu into the pharmacy with one hand just now.

Jiang Huaixu looked at the shopkeeper, then at the clerk, took a step back exaggeratedly, and said in surprise: "Oh my! How could our family have entered a drugstore? Could it be that we have entered a bandit's den?

How dare you, a grown man, blackmail a girl under ten years old like me? This is a pharmacy, why don't you let your doctor take a look at your hand to see if it's broken?

She used some skillful force, and although the guy's finger wasn't broken, it still hurt for a while.

The shopkeeper also understood medical knowledge. He could tell at a glance whether He Tiezhu's hand was broken or not. Seeing more and more passersby gathering at the door, beads of sweat fell from his forehead. He lowered his voice and asked the medicine boy, "Didn't I tell you to take him away?"

After saying this, he didn't wait for the medicine boy to reply, but stepped forward and bowed repeatedly, "We will deal with this guy in our medicine shop. Goodbye, everyone, goodbye."

The three of them finally walked out of Baohe Hall. Jiang Huaixu was a little depressed. He didn't expect that his mission would start off badly and he met someone so blind right at the beginning.

"Little sister, how come you are so strong?" Zheng Li Niang asked in a low voice, unable to suppress her curiosity.

Jiang Huaixu looked up in feigned confusion, "Am I stronger?"

He slapped his thigh again, "Oh! Sister-in-law, I didn't realize it until you told me. I saw my brother being bullied just now, and I wanted to beat him up without thinking. Who knew that it would be so easy to do it!"

Jiang Dalang was deeply touched by Yaomei's words. He thought that the female teacher was taking care of the mute girl and only asked with concern, "Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"

Jiang Huaixu shook his head.

"That's fine. There's a Baicaotang up ahead. Let's go take a look."

Jiang Huaixu said "eh" and hugged the small cloth bag on his body tightly.

The cloth bag contains precious medicinal herbs such as Matsutake and Ganoderma lucidum.

Baicaotang is not far from Baohetang, only a few shops away. She walked into the shop and found that Baicaotang's decoration was much simpler than Baohetang, and there were fewer people seeing doctors.

"Little girl, are you here to see a doctor?"

The guy walked up and asked.

"Does your store accept medicinal herbs?"

The waiter looked at the girl in front of him and asked, "I'll take it, but is your master here?"

"Yes, yes, we are her brother and sister-in-law." Jiang Dalang hurried forward and bowed.

"I'll call the shopkeeper, please wait a moment." The clerk saw the big sack behind him and hurried to find the shopkeeper.

A thin, middle-aged man in his early thirties walked up to Jiang Dalang and said, "I am the owner of Baicaotang. I wonder what kind of medicinal herbs you sell?"
