Chapter 105 The Lin Family’s Old House Was Destroyed
In the Lingnan Hall Chinese Medicine Clinic, the outside door was closed and the Lin family father and son were having a midnight snack inside.
"Dad, eat more. This is the most authentic Shandong cuisine made by the chef at Fengzeyuan. It's probably only available at state banquets these days."
"No, this is stir-fried sea cucumber with green onions, and this crystal pork elbow is made from whole pork elbows, sliced one by one. It's very chewy and delicious."
"This is your son's gift of Moutai to you. It's a 1955 edition, Five-Star Moutai, sold in an earthenware bottle for export. I heard it could fetch hundreds of thousands of yuan at auction now."
Lin Sanqi poured wine for his father while introducing him.
Lin Musen was eating with his mouth full of oil and a look of enjoyment on his face.
People in Huadu love to eat. Among the eight major cuisines in China, they cannot be used to cuisines that are too spicy or too salty. The sweet and sour taste of Shandong cuisine is just what people in Guangdong Province can accept.
"Well, good, this dish is really delicious. You must have spent a lot of money there, right?"
"Hey, it's just a small amount of money. I can sell a pound of Longjing tea and have everything I need. Don't worry, Dad. From now on, follow your son and enjoy the delicious food. I'll prepare all eight major cuisines for you to try."
"Hehe, it's still straightforward here with my own son. I don't have to look at other people's faces!"
Lin Sanqi heard something strange, because his father studied Chinese medicine and believed in Taoist philosophy. He usually did not get angry, but would express it on the spot if he got angry.
"Dad, what happened during the few days I was away?"
Lin Musen took a sip of white wine, frowned, and then he breathed a long, comfortable sigh:
"A few days ago, a wealthy man came to buy Angong Niuhuang Wan to give to his child for emergency treatment. He was in a coma, and I heard it was quite serious and he hadn't woken up yet. But when he came to me, he said I was selling fake medicine and mocked me for taking advantage of the situation. He said that sooner or later, God would take him away."
Lin Sanqi got angry when he heard this:
"Damn it, this is a free matter between the buyer and the seller. If he believes it, then buy it. If he doesn't, then don't buy it. Why curse others so viciously? It's so uncultured."
Lin Musen took a sip of Maotai and said indifferently:
"I was quite angry at the time, but then I thought about how unlucky this child was. The opportunity was right in front of them, but their parents missed it. My anger subsided when I thought about that. By the way, if you have the chance, please get some more of this good medicine."
"Okay, no problem. Angong Niuhuang Wan is the first medicine we're testing. I'll do everything I can to get back all the good medicine from 1959..."
The father and son were still chatting in private when they heard the sound of several cars stopping at the door, and soon there was a knock on the door.
"Doctor Lin, is Doctor Lin home?"
Lin Musen and Lin Sanqi both looked up at the wall clock. It was already 11 o'clock in the evening.
Lin Musen stood up, opened the door of the clinic, and found three or four people standing outside, with a middle-aged woman at the center.
"I'm Lin Musen. Who are you? Hey, isn't this Director Song?"
Song Jiming smiled awkwardly: "Doctor Lin, we meet again. Last time, the parents of that child wanted to buy a few Angong Niuhuang Pills..."
Lin Musen frowned and asked calmly, "They think this is fake medicine, but they're still buying it?"
"Haha, that's right. I asked you to buy two Angong Pills. The patient has shown significant results after taking them, but two or three Angong Pills alone are not enough for a complete recovery. That's why we rushed here overnight."
Li Yadan was standing by the car at this time. He looked up at the simple outer wall of the Lin family, and then stretched his head to look at the simple interior of the clinic. He was also full of doubts in his heart:
Is it possible that a rural clinic can provide authentic Angong Pills?
Hearing Director Song Jiming, who was leading the way, still nagging at the country doctor, Li Yadan became a little impatient:
"Director Song, and whoever you are, can you please hurry up? My son is still waiting for help. Just tell me the amount, how much, and I will transfer it to you immediately."
Li Yada knew that the transaction price of Angong Niuhuang Pills was 150,000 yuan per pill. Even if there were 10 pills, it would only be 1.5 million yuan. This amount of money was a small amount for the Zhou family and was not enough to buy a car.
When Lin Sanqi heard the words of the middle-aged woman outside the door, he immediately realized that this family was the one who scolded the Lin family for selling fake medicine. As a result, they were still so rude when asking for help. Naturally, he was very unhappy and wanted to express his dissatisfaction to his father:
"Dad!"
Lin Musen didn't invite anyone into the house, and said calmly:
"Director Song, I'm sorry, all of our Angong pills have been sold out and are out of stock now."
Song Jiming's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He knew that this doctor from Lingnan Hall was not going to sell the medicine and was not going to make money either. He was just taking a gamble.
"No, Doctor Lin, this, this matter you see..."
Li Yadan broke out in a cold sweat when she heard this, and then her already irritable mood due to her son's illness completely collapsed:
"What do you want to do? We are here to treat patients and save lives, and you, as a doctor, are actually planning to watch someone die without helping? Where is your medical ethics? You just want money, so you name the price, and I won't bargain. You are really crazy because you are broke. Oh my god, there are doctors like this in the world!!!"
As soon as Song Jiming heard this, he knew that things were going to be bad, because he understood that how could a doctor who could come up with special medicine be short of money?
Even if he is short of money, as long as he has such resources, it is only a matter of time before he gets rich. Haven't you seen him, the chief physician of a prestigious tertiary hospital, asking others for help?
When asking for help, you should have the attitude of asking for help. Now that Mrs. Zhou has complained like this, the possibility of her buying Angong Pills will be even smaller.
Sure enough, Lin Musen smiled coldly:
"Yes, I am crazy because of poverty, but what does my poverty have to do with you? Even if I have Angong Pills, I won't sell them to you. Please go back."
After saying that, Lin Musen didn't bother to say anything more and just slammed the door shut.
Lin Sanqi chuckled and gave a thumbs-up: "Dad, you have guts!"
Lin Musen shook his head. "Just wait and see. This won't end so easily. I see that woman has thin cheeks, a thin mouth, and slanted eyes. She's obviously a mean person. I'm afraid she's going to have a hard time."
Lin Sanqi snorted lightly:
"We can't defeat them outside, but I don't think anyone dares to act wildly in our Shilou Village!"
Li Yadan saw that the other party had directly closed the door, not only refusing to sell medicine, but even refusing to continue the conversation. This time, she was really angry:
"You idiot, you idiot, if you don't believe me, you're such a jerk! You won't sell us the medicine, and you want to watch my son die. Just wait, just wait!"
Li Yada, who was furious, took out her phone with shaking hands and started calling people. As a local "socialite and wealthy lady" in Huadu, she had not suffered such humiliation for many years, not to mention that the other party was a country bumpkin from the urban village.
Song Jiming was so anxious that he was sweating profusely: "Mrs. Zhou, please talk nicely!!!"
Zhou Ruili answered the phone on the other end. Compared to his wife's fury, he was somewhat calmer:
"Don't argue for now. We're begging for help now. What's the point of you yelling and fighting? The last time I went to Lingnan Hall, I clearly saw that the other party had at least five Angong Pills in his hand. It's all about money, so you should double it!"
Women tend to be emotional, and when Li Yadan heard what her husband said, she became even angrier:
"Begging, begging for nothing! They said they have Angong Pills but they won't sell them to us. Husband, our Zhou family's reputation has been trampled on. The key is that my son needs emergency medicine, and even if I kneel down for them, it's useless!!!"
Zhou Ruili was a little angry when he heard this:
"What do you have in mind?"
"I only have one idea. After all these years, we've been unable to resolve the issue through reasoning. We have no choice but to send the security team. I don't believe it. Don't worry about it. I'll go talk to Huan Gou!"
Huan Gou, the head of the security department of the Maxim's Group, is actually a glove kept by the Zhou family and is good at swearing.
When you are in the world, you will inevitably get hurt.
Zhou Ruili and Li Yada were able to start from scratch and make a career in Huadu. In addition to having business acumen, they also needed additional power, otherwise they would have been eaten up by others without leaving anything behind.
Good people and naive people cannot do business well and cannot become rich.
Zhou Ruili remained silent, thinking that if he could scare the farmers in the urban village, maybe the problem would be solved. At worst, he could just pay them according to the market price.
Li Yadan hung up the phone with her husband, dialed another number, and said coldly:
"Huan Gou, bring some more people over here. I'm in trouble here... Yes, prepare a scapegoat. I'll send you the location..."
After hanging up the phone, Li Yada didn't leave, but looked coldly at the closed door of the Lin family.
Lin Bingqiao, who was listening to the noise from the second-floor balcony, heard all of this and immediately ran downstairs as fast as she could.
"Oh no, Dad! That old woman is calling people to come and beat us up. What should we do?"
Lin Musen would be lying if he said he wasn't worried, but he didn't panic either.
"Qizi, go out the back door right now and tell Grandpa Uncle. I'm calling the village protection team right now. If you dare to cause trouble in Shilou Village, let's see if they have the guts to do it!"
Lin Sanqi nodded, immediately went out the back door, and ran quickly through the alley to the clan leader's house...
On the other side, Huan Gou brought three people in Iveco cars to Shilou Village.
As soon as he got off the car, the 190cm tall dog ran to Li Yadan's side:
"Boss lady, I've brought 20 brothers with me. What's the current situation? You tell me, I'll listen. I promise to solve it perfectly."
Seeing the lackeys arrive, Li Yada decided not to tolerate it any longer and wanted to teach the Lin family a small lesson to let them know that the rich should not be humiliated.
Of course, she didn't want to go too far. After all, she still had to buy the Lin family's medicine. Now the most she could do was to scare the Lin family.
The weak character of the Chinese people made it possible for the Zhou family to use threats as a tactic that was always effective and they won every battle.
"Huan Gou, go smash the Lin family's front door first. You can also smash the living room, but don't hurt anyone. However, you can act a little ruthless to scare the Lin family. I will come and negotiate the terms later."
When Huan Gou heard this, he threw his cigarette to the ground and said to the henchman next to him:
"You two, break down this door!"
Lin Musen had actually been listening through the door. He was startled when he heard someone was about to knock on the door, so he quickly called out to his wife and daughter:
"Wenjuan, Ah Bing, let's go out the back door! These people are crazy and want to break down the door and beat us!"
Lin Bingqiao was frightened at this moment, and her hand trembled as she held her mother's:
"Dad, Mom, let's run! Why haven't my brother and the village protection team come yet? They're usually very fast, why are they so slow today? I'm going to complain to my uncle tomorrow."
Wang Wenjuan was also anxious: "Husband, we still have a lot of wild ginseng at home. What if it is stolen?"
Lin Musen couldn't care less:
"Let's go, the wild ginseng is locked in the clinic's safe. If they dare to pry open the safe, it will be robbery. Besides, Qizi must have brought people here by now, so we are not afraid of them. Our own safety is the most important. Let's go!"
At this time, people outside the door had started to smash, bang bang bang, the sound of kicking.
The Lin family built their own house, and the urban village is a mixed crowd, so there is a security door outside the main gate and a wooden door inside, which is quite difficult to break open all at once.
Lin Musen quickly slipped out the back door with his wife and daughter, believing that a wise man would not suffer a loss in front of him.
In fact, all the neighbors heard the farce in front of the Lin family's house. They started to turn on the lights and many people were already cursing. However, Li Yada and her lackeys did not realize the seriousness of the situation at this time.
In the darkness not far from the Lin family, clan leader Lin Peidong and more than 30 village protection team members were already lying in ambush there.
Lin Sanqi saw the other party smashing his door and was so angry that he wanted to go forward to stop it, but was stopped by his uncle:
"Qizai, don't worry, your family has met a noble person. We just started renovating and someone came to give us the renovation fee."
Lin Sanqi was anxious: "Grandpa, they're smashing the door like this and our family has lost all face. Besides, what if they don't pay? These guys are just old hooligans!"
Lin Qinming next to him burst out laughing:
"Qizi, you're just inexperienced. Grandpa said someone brought money to your door, so you just sit there and wait to count it. I'm actually hoping they'll break down my door. Since they dared to cause trouble in Shilou Village, do you think they can leave?"
Uncle Lin sat down on the stone bench next to him:
"Qizai, your house has been built for more than 20 years. It has been renovated and rebuilt. Come, sit next to Grandpa and let's watch a good show."
Lin Sanqi scratched his head. Seeing the calm faces of the clan leader and his brothers, he gradually calmed down. Then he took out his phone and called his father:
"Dad... Oh, you guys ran away, right?... Yes, I'm with Grandpa and the others... Okay, I'll listen to Grandpa..."
Lin Qinming was also fiddling with his mobile phone, deploying troops and making arrangements in the village's mobile phone group.
No matter how solid the door was, it couldn't hold up against the unreasonable black security guards. With a dull thud, the inner door of the Lin family was kicked directly to the ground with a loud bang.
Huan Gou shone his flashlight and turned around to shout, "Boss lady, the door is open. What should we do next?"
Li Yadan covered her nose and fanned it in disgust:
"It smells like poverty. Hurry up and capture the Lin family. Huan Gou, just threaten them a few times, but don't hit them. I'll come in when it's almost done."
"OK, boss lady, please wait."
Huan Gou led a group of people and rushed towards the Lin family. They overturned all the chairs, stools and tables that passed by, and the sound of glass breaking could be heard from time to time.
Soon Huan Gou came out: "Madam, the Lin family ran out through the back door."
"You useless fellow! This will make these country bumpkins run away! Hurry up and look for them in the clinic. If you find Angong Niuhuang Pills, bring them to me immediately. Remember, they come in a green brocade box!"
Li Yada's main target is still Angong Wan. As long as she gets Angong Wan, she is not afraid of a lawsuit afterwards.
To the wealthy, what kind of waves could a villager like the Lin family, with no connections or background, possibly cause? So what if they took your medicine? What evidence do you have that the Zhou family took it?
At worst, we'll just send a security guard to detain you. It's a routine procedure.
The black security guards rushed into the clinic again and started rummaging through the drawers. Finally, a group of people worked together to lift out a safe.
Lin Sanqi got anxious when he saw it: "Oh my god, the safe is not safe at all, they just took it all away!"
Uncle Lin looked at the black gloves not far away moving the safe to the car and thought:
"Qizi, do you know how many valuable things are in the safe?"
"Yes, there are five wild ginseng sticks in there. The one from 150 years ago can be sold for at least 5 million. There are also 15 Angong Niuhuang pills, worth 2.25 million. Grandpa, we can't wait any longer. If they drive away, our family will suffer a huge loss."
Lin Qinming, who was standing next to him, shrank his neck repeatedly after hearing this:
"Damn it, Qizi, your family is really secretive. There are six or seven million worth of medicinal herbs in just one safe. You must have made a fortune in the past few years."
Since they were all clan members, Lin Sanqi was not afraid to show off his wealth: "I don't know if I'll get rich, but I'm afraid I'll go crazy now."
Patriarch Lin waved his hand:
"Alright, that's enough. Surround these idiots and don't let any of them escape, especially that old woman. If they dare to cause trouble in Shilou Village, we'll make them bleed heavily today!"
Lin Qinming and a group of people from the village protection team took security tools and rushed out like ghosts!
"Don't move, everyone get down!"
The Zhou family's black security guards surrounded the boss lady and the safe, as if they were facing a great enemy.
Huan Gou snorted when he saw a group of people rushing out. "Just you guys? Do you know what kind of gang I am in?"
Lin Qinming came over dragging a steel pipe:
"Do you think we're too few in number? Open your dog eyes and take a look. Are they, them, and him human?"
Under the car lights, both sides of the road were already densely packed with villagers from Shilou Village, each holding a variety of tools...
Li Yadan and Huan Gou were stunned when they saw this: "Damn, are we surrounded?"
