"Jinchu, I... was almost arrested by Xiao Yanmin." Yan Shuhua thought about it and told him what happened to him. "That's why I suspect that Xiao Yanmin is doing something wrong. Although the money is easy to make, the profit is not that big. If you want to make a lot of money, you can only do something illegal."

"You're right." Xiao Jinchu replied while pushing his bicycle. "It's true that Xiao Yanmin wants to make money, but don't forget that the thing he wants to do most right now is to lose my father's trust and goodwill. If he does those bad things, won't the goodwill he built up before be destroyed in an instant?"

Xiao Jinchu's analysis made Yan Shuhua's brain suddenly seem to open up, because what he said was indeed true. If Xiao Yanmin just wanted to make some money temporarily, then he was really too naive. However, what he wanted to do was not to make a small amount of money, but to occupy the entire Xiao family's property. In this process, how important it was to win the trust of Xiao Nanfang.

"Or maybe... it's not smuggling?" Yan Shuhua began to recall what the two of them had said at that time. Apart from smuggling, there might be other dangerous businesses.

In fact, what Yan Shuhua said made Xiao Jinchu suddenly enlightened, because he remembered that the Xiao family used to have a very stable business, and the profit was tens of thousands of yuan each time, but this business always passed through the hands of Xiao Nanfang. If this business was handed over to Xiao Yanmin, it would mean that Xiao Nanfang regarded him as his successor.

Thinking of this possibility, Xiao Jinchu suddenly stopped pushing the bicycle. He raised his hand to rub his dizzy temples and shook his eyes to regain comfort.

Yan Shuhua saw that he looked uncomfortable and thought that his old illness had relapsed: "What's wrong, Jinchu?"

She quickly reached out and touched Xiao Jinchu's forehead and found it was normal. Then she bent down to check his wound and found no signs of ulceration or inflammation. She also planned to see if there was anything wrong with him.

He just rubbed his temples, and his little wife looked extremely scared. Xiao Jinchu found it very funny. With Yan Shuhua's deep concern for him in his heart, he reached out and grabbed her hands that kept touching his body, and then put them in his palms.

"Why are you so anxious? I'm fine."

"Aren't I just worried that something might happen to you?" Yan Shuhua put his health first.

"You're afraid something will happen to me, and I'm afraid something will happen to you, but do you know who's most afraid of you getting into trouble?" Xiao Jinchu hit the nail on the head, causing Yan Shuhua to react immediately, "My mom!"

"That's right. Our mother has been waiting for you since last night. She didn't go home because she was afraid that you would have no place to stay in town. Now she is still waiting for you in the pharmacy."

"Then let's go find my mother right away!" Yan Shuhua almost forgot about this matter. He thought that there was no business in the past two days and the pharmacy was probably doing very bad business. He didn't expect so many people to come to buy medicine and they all lined up at the door.

"Wait, wait..." Shen Hongmei and Fan Zhiqiang were busy inside. Some patients started to complain after waiting for medicine for a long time, "Oh, why didn't the doctor come? How can such a big pharmacy be without her?"

"If you want acupuncture, you can wait until..."

"Those who need acupuncture should line up first. I'll take them one by one." Yan Shuhua's voice interrupted, and Shen Hongmei seemed to have found a savior. "My dear daughter, I thought you had forgotten about the pharmacy. Look how busy it has been these past two days. If Zhiqiang didn't really know something, how could Mom handle it all by herself?"

Although Fan Zhiqiang said that he didn't like herbal medicine very much, he was very decisive when it came to doing things. He could not make any mistakes in any place. The one or two months he spent with Yan Shuhua was not in vain. For some patients with mild symptoms of dizziness, sore throat, inflammation, etc., he could prescribe anti-inflammatory medicine and give them medicine.

Yan Shuhua thought that if Fan Zhiqiang had not been distracted, he would have really been a potential doctor. However, his desire to join the team was never supported by Fan Xiaofeng. Later, after a lot of quarrels between the father and son, Fan Xiaofeng reached an agreement with him that as long as he passed the college entrance examination and graduated, he would let him go.

Fan Zhiqiang did all these to prove to his father that he was not a loser, so he agreed. When he had nothing to do, he would come to help get the medicine, and when he had free time, he could also talk to Yan Shuhua about study.

Xiao Jinchu certainly would not be idle when he came. His memory and comprehension abilities were much better than Fan Zhiqiang's. He helped out on the side, and the customers who had lined up at the door all dispersed at once, while Yan Shuhua was still busy with acupuncture in the acupuncture room.

She was quite adept at acupuncture, and was also very strict about the instruments. In that era, disposable silver needles were not used yet, they were used repeatedly. In order to avoid indirect transmission to others, Yan Shuhua was very rigorous in disinfecting the silver needles.

It was because Yan Shuhua was rigorous in his work, polite to his patients, easy to talk to, upright, and not greedy for other people's money that he naturally gained a good reputation.

At first, because of the fake medicine incident, everyone was afraid of her, but after seeing that her medicine didn't work elsewhere, they came back to Yan Shuhua. They originally wanted to take medicine, but after the silver needles, they felt comfortable, and the medicine was not expensive, so everyone came to her.

Yan Shuhua has always believed that reputation is something that one has made by oneself. No matter what she says or does, as long as she maintains the word "capable", people will never think that she is just a vase with nothing in sight.

From the afternoon to the evening, she finally finished acupuncture for the last patient.

Putting down the silver needle, she moved her numb neck, and suddenly a pair of hands rested on her shoulders with a hot towel. She saw a shadow and a familiar smell reflected through the silver box, and she knew it was Xiao Jinchu.

"Are you tired?" Xiao Jinchu gave her a massage and used a hot towel to stretch her acupoints.

Yan Shuhua was really exhausted, she could hardly lift her hands, but there was nothing she could do. Since she had chosen this job, she had to stick to it. Seeing so many patients get better after taking her medicine and having acupuncture, she was happier than anyone else.

"Sit down, I'll help you disinfect those silver needles." Xiao Jinchu asked her to continue lying on the back of the chair, and then he started to clean up the things on the table, iodine, cotton yarn, silver needles...
