Chapter 84 Xie Liangchen, have you really never saved a child?
"I already told you, this is a medicinal ointment made by Ah Nuan. I bought it for 700 coins a bottle! How many times do I have to say it?"
Lu Shizhu's temper flared up, and his tone became increasingly harsh.
"You're talking nonsense! If Doctor Jiang came to discuss business, why would she talk to someone as shameless as you? You still dare to spout such nonsense! I'll beat you to death!" With that, another rattan cane lashed out.
"Uncle! Uncle, please calm down! Perhaps my cousin didn't mean it. And that ointment might not even work!"
Seeing that Elder Lü had finished lashing him with the whip, Xu Qingfeng immediately took a fan and helped Elder Lü fan himself, giving a provocative look to the kneeling Lü Shizhu.
He had originally planned to use some underhanded tactics, but he hadn't expected his uncle to be so astute, sensing something was amiss as soon as he got home. It seems nothing too serious is going to happen.
However, seeing Lü Shizhu get a good beating was enough to vent his anger.
"Useful? Useful my ass! Hasn't he been scammed enough over the years? When has anything he brought back ever been useful? His brain is certainly useful, but he only uses it to swindle money from people! He's constantly being confronted by scammers!"
Old Master Lü grew angrier as he spoke, and struck Lü Shizhu with another rattan cane.
Lu Shizhu clenched his fists tightly, glaring at Xu Qingfeng: "It's you again, you bastard, stirring up trouble!"
"How dare you speak to your cousin like that! If you were even half as easy to manage as your cousin, this wouldn't have happened!" Old Master Lü said.
Xu Qingfeng curled his lips coldly, thinking to himself that Lü Shizhu hadn't been beaten enough, and then added fuel to the fire, saying, "Uncle, actually, the money isn't that important, I'm more worried about my cousin's reputation! I saw my cousin and that woman..."
After saying that, as if he had let something slip, he immediately frowned and said, "Perhaps I'm mistaken."
Old Master Lü was trembling all over, his eyes filled with disbelief: "What...does this mean? This wretched child...is he still having affairs outside?"
Xu Qingfeng knelt down, shaking his head repeatedly: "Uncle, I can't say!"
Enraged, Old Lu threw down his rattan cane and pointed a trembling finger at Xu Qingfeng: "Speak! What exactly happened! Tell me everything you saw! I want to see what other outrageous things this wretched child can do!"
"Dad! Are you crazy?! You believe him but not me! This bastard never tells the truth!" Lu Shizhu looked at his father with disbelief.
"Shut up! Qingfeng! Speak!" Old Master Lü glared fiercely at his son, then his gaze fell on Xu Qingfeng.
Xu Qingfeng's smugness was almost overflowing. However, when facing Elder Lü, he frowned and pondered deeply before saying, "Uncle, the most urgent thing is to find out what kind of background that woman has, isn't it?"
My nephew happened to bump into my cousin today... he and that woman were behaving very intimately.
Actually, Uncle, I might have misjudged her. However, I heard from A-Yong that the woman had her cousin's permission to only charge 80% of the price for any medicine she buys at our Tongji Medical Clinic.”
After saying this, he coldly curled his lips, waiting for Old Master Lü to give Lü Shizhu a severe beating.
He waited for a long time but saw no movement from Elder Lü, so he turned around to look.
At this moment, Old Master Lü frowned and said with a strange expression, "At Tongji Medical Clinic, the only doctor who only charges 80% of the price for medicine is... Doctor Jiang?"
"Qingfeng, is that woman slightly plump with very fair skin?"
Xu Qingfeng nodded subconsciously.
Old Master Lü stood there stunned for a long while before swallowing hard and looking at Young Master Lü, saying, "Your ointment... could it really have come from Doctor Jiang?"
Lu Shizhu plopped down on the ground, sulking silently. She completely ignored her father.
Ah Yong's expression was somewhat complicated: "Master, the young master said earlier that the ointment was made by Physician Jiang."
"And the letter I gave you earlier, written by Physician Jiang, was already presented to you, but you tore it up."
Old Lu belatedly glanced at the scattered notes on the ground: "What are you waiting for! Pick them up quickly!"
After saying that, he pushed Xu Qingfeng, who was standing there dumbfounded, aside and picked up the piece of paper at Xu Qingfeng's feet.
Xu Qingfeng was stunned.
Why is it not quite what he imagined?
Shouldn't my uncle give that guy surnamed Lü a good beating?
He couldn't help but add, "Uncle, my cousin and that woman... seem to have a past! Their behavior was rather impolite..."
Upon hearing this, Old Master Lü frowned in disapproval: "You child! How can your thoughts be so filthy? Doctor Jiang is a married woman! Her medical expertise is no less than mine."
"That brat is nothing but a junior in front of her! You're not allowed to talk about Doctor Jiang like that."
Having said that, he frowned and looked at the papers in his hand: "They're all wet! I can't see them clearly!"
Just when things were in chaos, a rough male voice suddenly came from behind.
"Did you sell this wound medicine?"
Old Master Lü's heart skipped a beat, and he glared at Lü Shizhu before leaving.
"You brat, even if it's Dr. Jiang's, you can't just sell it directly!"
Dr. Jiang has achieved great success in acupuncture, but medicine is a completely different matter.
Lu Shizhu's resentment was practically tangible as she gritted her teeth and said, "I've tried it all, the ointment is fine, it's even better than the ones we had before!"
"You don't know anything!"
Old Lu rolled his eyes again and immediately stepped forward.
"I'm so sorry, young man. Is there something wrong with the ointment? I've taken it back. How much did you pay? I'll refund you right away. I'm so sorry."
As he spoke, Old Master Lü went to take the ointment, but the man took it back the next second.
"Who said I wanted to return the ointment? This ointment is extremely effective at stopping bleeding. My master told me to buy a couple more bottles. Do you still have any?"
Old Lu was stunned for a while before he came to his senses: "Yes, yes! Ah Yong! Go get it quickly!"
After seeing the guests off, and looking at Lü Shizhu's resentful expression, Old Master Lü spit out a mouthful of saliva with difficulty: "Um... I... um..."
"You little brat, why are you glaring at me like that? Are you trying to show me you're not happy?!"
"Let me tell you! Even if I'm wrong, I'm still your father."
Lü Shizhu: "."
"Goodbye, I don't want to stay in this house for another day!"
On their way home, Jiang Nuanzhi and Ping'er stopped by their family's land for a quick look.
Their family owned a total of two and a half mu of land. When Li Rong bought the house, the family wanted to sell the land together, so he bought it on the way.
For a farmer, two mu of land is really not much.
Most of these villagers who make a living by farming have dozens of acres of land, and some, like Aunt Liu, have more than a hundred acres.
In this vast wilderness, if you are diligent, there are many wastelands outside that you can cultivate and plant yourself.
However, these two acres of land seem sufficient for now.
The fields at this house have already been cleared. The waiter has been coming to the fields whenever he has some free time these past few days. Besides, the land isn't that big, so clearing it up wasn't difficult.
Jiang Nuanzhi glanced at it, then took Ping'er and prepared to go back.
As soon as they came out of the field, they ran into Xie Liangchen and his group.
"Liangchen, have you really not saved any children these days? You mean those little boys dressed in fancy clothes?"
Zhao Yuniang asked, frowning.
Seeing that Xie Liangchen didn't reply and seemed somewhat absent-minded, she followed his gaze. Her eyes met Jiang Nuanzhi's. Then her pupils suddenly contracted:
"She...she...how is she still alive!"
Young Master Lu: Destroy it.
