Qin Huiyin transmigrated into a book. Her mother was a pretty widow who married three times, a 'flower' of the village. When her mother married for the second time, Qin Huiyin gained a vill...
Chapter 123: Suspicion
Qin Huiyin returned to the market in Mr. Tang Sanye's ox cart.
The mess that had been left behind had been cleaned up, but there were a lot of debris piled up in the corner, including food and tables and chairs.
Luckily, they picked wooden bowls, so it didn't matter if they smashed them just now, they just had to pick them up and wash them. The tables and chairs were a bit damaged, so I'm afraid I'll have to buy new ones.
"We checked and found that the cart was made of iron and was not damaged. The pots and pans were also fine, just a little deformed and can be used again after a little repair. Now only the tables and chairs were lost, so the money spent was not large. You got 20 taels of silver from those ruffians, so even if we replace everything, there will be some left, so we didn't lose out." After Li Taohua finished speaking, she looked in the direction of the ox cart, "Is your Uncle Tang on the ox cart? He can't get off if he has difficulty walking. We can pack up and go home."
"I left Uncle Tang in the clinic for treatment." Qin Huiyin said, "The doctor said confidently that Uncle Tang could recover to his original state, so I wanted to take a chance. If you think it's inappropriate, I'll take him back now."
"The doctor said your uncle Tang's leg can still be cured?" Li Taohua hesitated, "Can you trust what he said? I saw several doctors before, and no one said his leg could be cured."
"He said he was from the capital, and his family has been doctors for generations. He asked me for so much money, and he also kept Uncle Tang. If he wasn't sure, he wouldn't dare to say such a bold statement! Their clinic has just opened, and Uncle Tang is his first patient. He should be in a hurry to establish a reputation for himself, and he won't do anything to ruin it."
"If it can be cured, of course it will be cured. Your uncle Tang didn't say it, but I can see that he still cares a lot. How much silver did that man ask for?"
"Ten taels. But now he has only paid five taels of silver as a deposit. He said that he will pay the other five taels after he cures Uncle Tang."
Tang Luwu and Tang Yi smiled at each other, with joy in their eyes.
"Yinyin, we will work hard to make a lot of money to make up for this debt. Thank you for being willing to give it a try for my father." Tang Luwu said gratefully, holding her hand.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Am I your sister? Uncle Tang is your father, so he is my father. Although I haven't changed my words, I still regard him as my father in my heart." Qin Huiyin said, "Let's first see if this doctor has real skills. If he dares to cheat me and takes the money but doesn't do anything, he can't even think about running his clinic. If he really has the ability, let him treat me, maybe my deficiency can be completely cured."
"I'm fine the way I am now." Tang Yi said with a smile.
"If it can be completely cured, you won't have to take medicine in the future. Do you want to take medicine for the rest of your life?" Qin Huiyin said, "These are just plans. Let's wait until Uncle Tang's leg injury is cured."
"The police are here." Li Taohua reminded from the side.
Qin Huiyin turned around and saw Captain Feng coming over with a few of his men.
Captain Feng smiled and said, "Little girl, here are twenty taels of silver. It's all collected."
Qin Huiyin took out a tael of silver and stuffed it into Captain Feng's hand: "Thank you, sir. You have been running around with you all for so long, this is for you all to have tea."
"Forget about drinking tea. Your food is really delicious. Just treat us to a meal next time." Captain Feng declined and continued, "I should thank you. Those ruffians have always been a headache for us. They bully people everywhere, and the people complain about them. With your method, our county will be much quieter and save us a lot of trouble. Little girl, you have done a great job."
"Evil people love to bully the weak and easy to bully. Whenever someone dares to confront them, they will be very cowardly. Of course, we dared to make such a fuss because we were outnumbered at that time and they didn't dare to do anything to us in broad daylight. In the final analysis, it is because the county magistrate is strict in his rule and all the gentlemen are loyal to their duties that we dare to have the courage to fight the evil people."
"Haha..." Captain Feng was amused by her, watching her smile. "You are such a sly girl. By the way, those ruffians told us something in order to reduce their punishment. It's not a coincidence that they came to trouble you. Someone told them that your business is good, you make a lot of money, and you are all women and children who are easy to bully, so they set their target on you."
"Did they say who it was?"
"They said they didn't know the man, but he was thin, well-dressed, and looked like he worked for rich people."
"Thank you, Lord Feng. We will keep an eye on it."
Captain Feng glanced at the moving cart and asked: "Will you come to the next market?"
"We are here. We just broke a few chairs and stools. We will find someone to make new ones." Qin Huiyin said, "Please remember to come and show your support, everyone."
After Captain Feng left, Li Taohua said angrily, "Which bastard is trying to pick a fight with us?"
"I seemed to have seen Tang Jizu just now, but that man moved very quickly and disappeared in a flash. I don't know if I was seeing things." Tang Yi said with a smile.
"When did you see it?" Li Taohua asked.
"We had just set up the stall not long ago." Tang Yi recalled with a smile, "We were so busy that we didn't dare to stop, let alone look carefully to see if it was the right person."
"Then do you remember the clothes he was wearing? Was he well dressed as the thug described, and did he look like someone who worked for rich people?" Li Taohua asked again.
"I just glanced at him, and he moved very quickly, disappearing in a flash." Tang Yixiao was not sure if it was Tang Jizu, or if he had seen it wrong.
"I think it's him." Li Taohua said, "Who would cause trouble for us for no reason? Who else but him would have a grudge against us and be in the city?"
"It's still unclear now. The only thing we can be sure of is that someone is targeting us. Next, we need to pay attention to whether there are any sneaky people around us."
The market was under the jurisdiction of someone, and they had to clean up the debris. But they had no tools, and it was not easy to clean up, so Qin Huiyin spent ten cents to find the person in charge of the market and asked him to find someone to clean up the debris.
Too many things happened today, and everyone was listless. On the way back, everyone lay in the oxcart to rest and didn't talk.
After returning home, everyone moved their things out first. Master Tang San said that he would repair the pots and pans and guarantee that they would be restored to their original state.
'Momo' and 'Baozi Mantou' came running over, wagging their tails and barking at them, jumping around on their short legs, which made them feel less depressed.
