Chapter 345 Making Trouble
Only people in the shop would call Hu Xiner "Manager Hu".
Hu Xin'er was shocked: "What's wrong?"
The man gasped and said, "I'm Chen Jia, your shop's tenant. I rented a preserves shop. Do you remember?"
The last time she went to the shop, Hu Xiner had indeed heard Manager Wang mention it.
The place was originally deserted, but after more workers came, its popularity increased. Some vendors or workers' families would rent shops there and do small businesses.
It just so happened that Hu Xiner had too many shops, and the two sides hit it off and rented out a lot of them.
The tenant named Chen Jia had a very conspicuous pockmark on his face, so Hu Xiner had an impression of him.
She nodded, and then she heard Chen Jia say very quickly, "There's a disturbance in front of Doctor Dou's clinic, and Manager Wang happened to be out, so I had the audacity to come to you!"
Hu Xin'er frowned. It had only been a few days since the Dou couple opened their shop? How could something like this happen again?
Yun Qiu asked softly, "Young Madam, should we let the Princess handle this matter or..."
"Go call a carriage and we'll go there now." Hu Xin'er said decisively.
Arriving at the door of the clinic, Hu Xin'er heard a burst of curses as soon as she got off the carriage: "Black-hearted doctor, you're practicing medicine recklessly, pay me! Pay me!"
I saw a paralytic-looking man lying on a straw mat, his hands and feet twitching. Next to him was a skinny homeless man staring grimly at the clinic.
The Dou couple were new arrivals and not everyone was familiar with them. If they caused trouble because of this person, their reputation would be ruined. How could they survive here in the future?
Hu Xiner saw that the paralytic looked horrible, so she suppressed her fear and walked inside.
Unexpectedly, when passing by the straw mat, the paralytic suddenly twitched and seemed to pounce on her, scaring both her and Yun Qiu to scream.
The Dou couple were discussing countermeasures inside with worried faces. When they heard the familiar voice, they hurried out.
"Hu..." The couple were surprised and happy. They didn't expect Hu Xiner to come.
Madam Dou's eyes turned red and she felt very guilty.
She hadn't expected something like this to happen right after arriving here! She felt ashamed to face Boss Hu.
Hu Xin'er waved her hand, hurried over to the two of them and asked, "What's going on?"
Doctor Dou sighed, "Manager Hu, you don't know this man is a refugee."
Hu Xin'er thought for a moment and guessed what had happened: "But you were so kind as to try to save him, and he bit you back?"
The Dou couple nodded at the same time.
It turned out that during these few days, the Dou couple moved into the shop, but they still helped the fleeing children as usual.
They would also bring seriously ill children to the shop and take good care of them.
However, the starving refugees also followed their trail and found this place...
"It's obvious that they are taking advantage of your kindness and want to rely on you. How can they do this?" Yun Qiu became angry when he heard this.
She also had great respect for the Dou couple.
When he heard what happened to the Dou couple, he felt disgusted with those bullying refugees.
Hu Xiner waved her hand to stop her from speaking.
Then he said to the Dou couple, "Go on."
Madam Dou's eyes were filled with even more guilt. She felt that she had caused Hu Xin'er a lot of trouble. "Originally, this paralytic was a little lame, and he always lost to others when they were distributing porridge..."
Once, Lady Dou saw this man looking at her eagerly, so she and Doctor Dou kindly treated him and gave him food.
Who would have thought that this man would conspire with his brothers to blackmail them!
Madam Dou blamed herself deeply and said, "It's all my fault for not judging him well. Later, Wang Xiaogou quietly told me that before he fled, this paralytic was a well-known idler in the surrounding area, and he was the worst kind of lazy person. I shouldn't have helped him in the first place!"
After understanding the specific situation, Hu Xiner felt relieved.
At this moment, the paralytic outside began to twitch violently again, and his homeless brother wailed miserably: "Oh! God, the black-hearted couple of the Dou family practiced medicine in a disorderly manner and turned my brother into a paralytic. Everyone, come and see!"
"What's his condition now? Is he really paralyzed?" Hu Xiner asked.
Madam Dou hurriedly shook her head: "No, no, no, when we took his pulse before, he never had this kind of illness. Later, he also refused to let us take his pulse. We suspected that he was..."
"He's just pretending!" Doctor Dou, who had been sulking nearby, said sullenly, then picked up a medicine pole and walked out.
The others hurried to follow.
Doctor Dou's face flushed with anger as he angrily declared, "My husband and I are here to help you out of good will, and yet you're pretending to be paralyzed to blackmail us? I'm telling you, you don't have a penny to pay me. Doctors of the Dou family only help those in need."
After saying that, he, who usually had a good temper, actually raised the carrying pole with both hands and hit the straw mat hard.
The paralytic was so frightened that his hands and feet stopped twitching and his mouth stopped foaming. He hurriedly huddled up with his homeless brother, cursing, "Did you all see that? This black-hearted doctor even beats his patients!"
Unexpectedly, the crowd of onlookers burst into laughter.
Looking closely, they saw that the carrying pole hit the side of the straw mat. Doctor Dou was kind-hearted after all, so he didn't really hit it, he just wanted to scare them.
The paralytic suddenly became furious and grabbed the carrying pole and pulled it hard. Doctor Dou was caught off guard and fell to the ground, with his forehead instantly bruised and swollen.
"Husband!" Madam Dou helped Doctor Dou up with a distressed look on her face, her lips trembling with anger.
She said with tears in her eyes, "What sin have we committed? You two have received our kindness before, why do you insist on blackmailing us?"
A trace of guilt crossed the homeless man's eyes, and his expression became even more ferocious: "You treated my brother so badly, and now you don't want to pay me and you want to deny it?"
The paralytic also began to act out his crooked nose and squinting eyes, and his whole body was twitching.
The shamelessness of these two people is beyond words to describe!
Hu Xin'er narrowed her eyes, a murderous look emerging in her eyes: "You two are shameless and greedy, why don't you leave immediately! Otherwise, I can't guarantee what I will do to you!"
When the two men saw that her clothes were extraordinary and that she was obviously on the side of the Dou couple, they instinctively showed fear at first, and then became greedy.
The embroidery on this piece of clothing is worth the amount of land they grow in a year!
The two looked at each other, the homeless man began to roll on the ground and make a scene, while the paralytic man drooled and pounced on her twitching.
Fortunately, Doctor Dou blocked the situation in front, but the situation became very ugly.
Hu Xiner clenched her fists. If she had known this, she would have brought some guards with her!
