Manager Tan faced Old Madam Chu and clasped his hands in a fist salute: "Old Madam Chu, please don't blame me for speaking so harshly, after all, it's a matter of life and death."
"I have been practicing medicine for many years, and I am not afraid of power or authority. Human life is always my top priority."
Madam Chu was both annoyed and amused, but since the other party was so persistent, it was ultimately for the sake of human life. Besides, the bet had already been set, so she refrained from blaming them.
With a cold expression, he dismissed him, saying, "Then Manager Tan, you should go back and wait for news."
Manager Tan left, but before he left, he asked for a few of the best-selling medicinal herbs, saying he would take them back to study.
Qiao Yunni shook her head: "What can I say about this Manager Tan?"
"He's had this temper for so many years. Once, it even escalated to the point of going to the yamen (government office)," said Old Madam Chu helplessly.
Suddenly, something occurred to her, and a glint flashed in her eyes.
"We'll see the results in three days, so are you going back in three days?"
Not counting the first day, today is the third day that the mother and daughter have been at the Chu family's house, and they will be leaving in two more days.
Old Madam Chu felt that these few days had passed so quickly, and she was very reluctant to part with them.
Qiao Yunni looked at Qiao Lian'er, waiting for her to make a decision.
Before she left, Grandma Qiao had instructed that it was her first time here, and she could stay for half a month or even a month without any problem.
However, there's the Qiao family at the east end of the village, and Song Ruier is a ticking time bomb. Qiao Lian'er can't stay here for too long.
However, three days is definitely enough to keep it.
"At least we need to wait until the Chu family's shop and several large pharmacies establish a wholesale supply relationship before it will be much more convenient for Grandma."
Madam Chu was overjoyed. In that case, it wouldn't be a problem to take three days, or even five or six days.
To celebrate, she'll memorize a few more medicinal herbs.
Thanks to the positive word-of-mouth yesterday, business is even better today. Not only are adults coming to buy medicinal herbs, but many children are also clamoring to buy nuts to eat.
News spreads even faster among children, who come in groups, pulling adults by the hand. When adults hear about the medicinal herbs, they buy some to try, creating a virtuous cycle.
The sumptuous meal from last night was served again, and tonight the variety was even greater. However, upon hearing the mother and daughter's suggestion, Old Madam Chu did not indulge in extravagance and ordered small portions of everything. By the end, they had eaten almost everything.
Old Master Chu drank his wine in silence, as there was no progress in the search for Song Laosan.
If the man surnamed Song is really dead, he would also like to find his remains so that he can have peace of mind.
Qiao Yunni knew what the old man was thinking, so she tried her best to make him happy.
Mr. Chu didn't want his daughter to worry, so he put that matter aside for the time being and enjoyed the company of everyone.
After soaking away the smell of herbs, Qiao Lian'er lay in bed and suddenly felt something strange under her pillow, as if an invisible, subtle sensation had traveled to her mind.
She got up, lifted the pillow, and found a letter Pei Zhujin had written to her underneath.
Is he responding to her?
