After chatting for a while, Chen Fang took Pei Yichen to prepare the medicine, leaving only Yunniang, Pei Yao, and Niu Qingshan behind.
Pei Yao went out again to find the doctor who had treated Pei Dalang and the others earlier, and inquired about the condition of their injuries.
The doctor said that their wounds had been treated and they had taken medication, so they were not in immediate danger.
I'm expecting to have a high fever tonight, which will be a bit tough, but I'll feel much better after tonight.
The doctor also said that Shen Jing's condition was slightly better, but not by much.
Moreover, Shen Yu's legs and feet were also injured, and he needed someone to take care of him right now. The Pei family members who came were all women, so it was inconvenient for them to take care of him personally.
After thinking for a moment, Pei Yao could only arrange for someone to go back and inform Qiao Hui.
Also, the family business can't fall apart; someone still needs to prepare and deliver the goods for Deyun Restaurant tomorrow.
After all, Pei Dalang and Pei Erlang still need to make a living even after they recover, and right now it's a time when they need money everywhere.
So Pei Yao and Chen Fangyun discussed it and finally decided that Chen Fangyun would take Pei Yichen back in the carriage at the door first.
Because Yunniang is rather weak-willed, she probably won't be able to handle the household chores after she goes back.
The carriage that had brought Pei Yao and the others earlier was still waiting at the entrance of Tongrentang. Now, after picking up Chen Fang and her son, they were taken directly back to Liangshui Village.
After seeing the two off, Pei Yao and Niu Qingshan stood in the backyard of the clinic discussing their plan to find Zhang San and redeem Manager Qian from the mine, since Manager Qian was completely implicated by the Pei family.
She also saw Pei Dalang and Pei Erlang. They were both alright for the time being, and Yunniang was taking care of them.
Therefore, rescuing Manager Qian is the most important thing. Life is tough at the mine, and Manager Qian is getting old.
As if on cue, Zhang San appeared. Pei Yao was talking to Niu Qingshan about going to find Manager Qian when Zhang San returned.
Zhang San was a notorious hoodlum in Meilin Town, and Niu Qingshan knew him, so as soon as he saw Zhang San swagger in, he immediately called out to him.
"Zhang San!"
Niu Qingshan had a rather gruff voice, so when he shouted like that, Zhang San was startled.
Zhang San was a wealthy young man from a family with some money when he was young, and he himself was a dashing and debonair rich young master.
However, some misfortunes happened in the family later, and overnight the family fell into decline, and all the members of the Zhang family became beggars on the street.
His father was old and couldn't bear the shock of the family's decline. After Zhang San and his mother fell asleep at night, Mr. Zhang plunged headfirst into the sea.
Three days later, when Zhang San found Master Zhang, the body had already swelled up from being soaked in water.
Seeing her husband in such a state, Madam Zhang could not bear the blow and fell ill. She passed away less than half a month later, following her husband.
Zhang San's family suffered a misfortune, and then his parents passed away one after another.
Logically, Zhang San's personality should have changed drastically in such a situation, and in fact, he did change drastically...
He became addicted to gambling, spending all his time in gambling dens, and has spent a lot of money on them over the years.
Besides gambling, Zhang San doesn't have any proper work. However, he is quite clever and has a bit of wit. When his family was rich, the playboy Zhang San knew a lot of people. Although people only laugh at him now, he still knows far more people than others.
Therefore, many people like to ask Zhang San for any information they want, and they will give him some money afterward.
It just so happens that Zhang San was also short of money, so this was a perfect opportunity.
So for the past few years, I've been doing the job of getting information for people.
Niu Qingshan let out a loud yell, which startled him so much that he thought the debt collectors from the gambling den had come to the county. He was about to run away.
As a result, Niu Qingshan grabbed him by the collar: "Zhang San, why are you running..."
Niu Qingshan looked at the people who were about to run away, somewhat speechless.
Zhang San realized that the people behind him weren't the debt collectors, and he patted his chest in relief, then turned around to look at Niu Qingshan who had pulled him.
It looks familiar, but I can't quite place it...
Judging from their clothes, they don't seem to be from a wealthy family.
Zhang San looked at Niu Qingshan and then at Pei Yao, but still couldn't remember who they were. He slapped away Niu Qingshan, who was grabbing his collar, and asked, "Young man, do you know me?"
Niu Qingshan and Zhang San were about the same age. They had met once or twice before. Zhang San saw many people every day, so it was normal that he didn't remember him. Niu Qingshan had no choice but to explain, "We are Manager Qian's people. This is Miss Pei."
Pei Yao smiled and nodded at Zhang San.
Looking at Pei Yao's face, which resembled the two Pei family members he had brought back earlier, and knowing they both shared the surname Pei, Zhang San guessed the truth about her.
Then I saw Niu Qingshan, and for a long time I couldn't remember where I had seen him before, but he looked familiar.
But when the man said he worked for Manager Qian, he felt reassured; as long as it wasn't someone chasing after debts, he didn't care who it was...
Niu Qingshan was in a hurry to find Manager Qian, afraid that if she delayed any longer it would be dark, so she looked at Zhang San and asked, "Zhang San, is Manager Qian still at the mine?"
Zhang San nodded: "I just went to ask someone for help, but..."
As a result, no one was willing to help. After all, the current Zhang San was not the young master Zhang San of yesteryear, but the infamous gambling addict Zhang.
No one with any sense would want to talk to him.
Zhang San actually knew the outcome, but because Manager Qian had done him a favor, he disregarded his pride and went to beg those people.
Pei Yao also guessed the second half of Zhang San's sentence: he probably couldn't find anyone to help him, otherwise he wouldn't have come back to the clinic.
"Let's go to the mine and check on Manager Qian's situation first, otherwise the sun will be setting soon," Pei Yao suggested, glancing up at the sky.
“Yes, let’s go to the mine first to check on Uncle Qian and make sure he’s alright.” Niu Qingshan looked at Zhang San.
Zhang San had the same idea, so the three of them decided to set off immediately.
Pei Yao told Yunniang and Shen Yu about their plan, instructing Yunniang to stay with Shen Yu at Tongrentang and not to wander off. They would return before 9 PM that night, barring any unforeseen circumstances.
Yunniang quickly nodded, then, still somewhat worried about Pei Yao, repeatedly reminded her to be careful in everything she did.
Shen Yu stood up and stared at Pei Yao with his beautiful eyes, saying, "I'll go with you. I'm more familiar with the mine."
Pei Yao glanced at his legs, somewhat worried: "Are your legs okay?"
Shen Yu nodded.
Pei Yao was worried that there were too few people and that they would not have enough momentum to be bullied. Although Shen Yu was a patient, he was still a tall and strong young man.
More than anything, Pei Yao was a little embarrassed to refuse the handsome guy…
"Okay, then let me know if you feel unwell later."
