Gu An'an was woken up early in the morning by someone.
The knocking on the door was incessant, as if they wanted to smash it down.
Before Gu An'an even came out, Tian Bu'er lost his patience, "What's all this noise so early in the morning? Did someone in the house die?"
Although no one in the family has died, the situation is not good.
“The food from her house was poisonous. After my family members ate it, they all became paralyzed.”
Tian Bu'er squinted at the burly woman and said, "Nonsense! I eat her cooking every day, how come I've never encountered this situation before?"
Li Si Niang was stunned for a moment, "You, who are you to her? Her lover? Of course I'll speak up for her, Gu An'an, you little bitch, come out here!"
As he spoke, he slammed his head against the door again.
Tian Bu'er has been practicing medicine for many years, and it's not like he hasn't encountered shrewish women.
I've also encountered people who stage accidents to extort money.
But unexpectedly, this young lady from the Gu family, who only runs a small business, actually encountered something like this.
Who did they offend?
Did I offend my competitors?
Gu Ji Food Shop is a small shop, and it's often closed for days on end. What competitors could it possibly offend?
Or was the shop's feng shui really bad, and they were tricked?
While Tian Bu'er was still in a daze, he saw the gate of the neighboring courtyard being kicked open.
No, it wasn't forced open; it opened from the inside.
Just then, Li Si Niang stormed over in a huff, and the result was predictable.
The overly voluptuous woman rushed in and collapsed onto the blue bricks, howling.
The wailing and howling were somewhat tragic.
Tian Bu'er frowned as he looked at the person standing there, and went over to him, saying, "Here to cause trouble."
Gu An'an nodded, "I know."
She heard it from inside.
This was indeed Gu An'an being presumptuous, thinking she shouldn't waste food.
Who knew that this would inadvertently give away leverage over someone else?
But how can one guard against thieves for ten thousand years when there are only thieves for a thousand?
If you're running this food business, it's fine if it's just for dine-in customers, but if something gets taken away, or even if you're not paying attention while eating in the restaurant, someone might put something in your bowl.
Even in modern society, cameras can't always prevent these kinds of things from happening. These days, all we can do is hope there aren't as many bad people around.
Unfortunately, that's exactly what happened.
Gu An'an could only deal with the situation as it came.
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing? It's not even the New Year yet and you're already kowtowing to me. I'm too young to accept this."
This sentence infuriated Li Si Niang. She dodged Gu An An's hand and refused her help, saying, "Stay away from me, you little bitch, you put something in the meatballs, you're clearly trying to kill me."
She was overweight, and she had just taken a hard fall. When she struggled to get up, she looked absolutely horrified.
Gu An'an, however, was good-natured. "Sister-in-law, aren't you full of energy? You're framing me. If you continue to ruin my reputation like this, I'll report you to the authorities."
Hearing this, Li Si Niang's anger flared up. "Fine, I haven't even reported it to the authorities yet, and you're already trying to play the victim. Don't think that just because you have someone in your family working in the yamen, I won't dare to go!"
Gu An'an laughed when she heard this. She went out and looked at the neighbors who had been attracted by the noise. "I'm sorry to bother you all. But just now, this woman said that I poisoned her food and that I wanted to kill her whole family. She also said that my family members work in the government. I didn't know that. I have never told anyone that my brother works in the government. How did you know that, woman?"
Li Si Niang chuckled, "What do you care how I know? You just think you can act recklessly because your brother works in the yamen and you think you have a powerful backer? I want to see if there is any law in Anping County."
Gu An'an chuckled upon hearing this, "I see. Then let's go to the yamen. I also want to sue this sister-in-law for trespassing on my property early in the morning and framing me. She has no respect for the law!"
The once polite young woman suddenly took on a fierce look, which made Li Si Niang's heart tremble. "You, you clearly sold those spoiled things, causing my family to get sick from eating them, and you still dare to argue?"
“I sold more than one batch of ingredients yesterday, so why did only your family member get sick? You say there's something wrong with my ingredients, but I think you deliberately ate the wrong thing to frame me.”
Li Si Niang's face flushed red. "I don't know you at all, why would I frame you?"
"How could we not know each other? Don't you know I have connections in the government?" Gu An'an smiled at Tian Bu'er. "Dr. Tian, you heard this lady say those words, didn't you?"
Tian Bu'er didn't know what Gu An'an was trying to tell, but he still nodded in agreement.
"But I misremembered just now. It's not my brother from my maternal family who works in the government office."
"I... I misremembered. It's the man from your husband's family who's in the yamen," Li Si Niang hurriedly explained. "Your husband's family and your own family are the same; they're all your backers who help you commit evil."
Gu An'an suddenly realized what he meant, and after a while she laughed, "You're wrong again. My husband's elder brother is no longer working in the government office."
After Gu An'an said this, the neighbors on both sides of the street probably understood.
"Li Si Niang, what wicked scheme are you plotting this time to cause trouble here?"
"If you ask me, I'd guess they saw that Miss Gu's business was doing well and wanted to swindle her money. How shameless!"
Li Si Niang retorted, "You're talking nonsense."
"Who's talking nonsense? You just said with absolute certainty that her brother works in the government office. Do you think we all misheard you?"
"That's right! Don't worry, Miss Gu, we'll be your witnesses later."
Gu An'an clasped her hands in thanks to everyone, "Thank you all. So it's Madam Li. I've heard of your great name. I don't know who bribed you to treat me like this, but I want to say that if I were you, I would first go to the yamen to report to the authorities before bringing the yamen runners to arrest me. Otherwise, it would look like you're here to extort money."
