As the village chief, Liu Dafa also rushed over with his men. That was his daughter; he couldn't let anything happen to her!
Wan Jianshe frowned deeply and said arrogantly, "You sold fake medicine! My wife's leg is rotting! You have to take responsibility! You have to give us an explanation today!"
"I sell counterfeit medicine?" Liu Nian smirked. "What evidence do you have that I sell counterfeit medicine?"
“Isn’t she your mother-in-law?” Wan Jianshe pointed at Wang Xiuzhi and said, “You made her sell it! She’s the proof.”
"I'm so sorry everyone, I didn't know it was fake medicine! It's all my fault! Please don't blame my daughter-in-law, if I had found out earlier, this wouldn't have happened!" Wang Xiuzhi cried out, and made as if to kneel down again.
Liu Nian glanced at her briefly, then turned and smiled at Su Xu, saying, "I'm a little tired."
Su Xu looked around, took off his shirt, and waved to the people next to him, "Make way, my wife is tired and wants to sit here."
There was a large rock in front of his house, so Su Xu quickly chased the people away and helped Liu Nian sit down.
Those standing nearby were a bit confused. They were trying to get down to business, why were they showing off their affection?
Wang Xiuzhi's hesitant kneeling was truly awkward.
"Solve the problem immediately!" Wan Jianshe roared. "What about my wife?! You have to pay compensation! Selling fake medicine is your fault!"
"What? Liu Nian is selling fake medicine?" A rather authoritative voice rang out, and everyone was stunned again.
The county magistrate stood behind them, his brow furrowed, accompanied by a group of people.
Liu Nian quickly stood up and said, "Wang Xiuzhi is using my name to sell fake medicine. It has nothing to do with me."
The county magistrate happened to be in Jiangjuntun today to inspect the greenhouses, and that's when this happened.
He trusted Liu Nian's character. The county magistrate coldly swept his gaze over the crowd, "This matter must be thoroughly investigated! We cannot wrong an innocent person, nor can we let a guilty person go free!"
Wang Xiuzhi's face turned pale. How did she run into the county magistrate? The county magistrate and Liu Nian have a very close relationship...
As luck would have it, today Chief Wu came to Liu Nian's house to formally express his gratitude, and cars drove right up to her door.
Several soldiers held up a banner that read—
"A miraculous cure."
Upon hearing the details, Chief Wu's face darkened. He chuckled... This was a slap in the face! He had said Liu Nian was a miracle worker, and these people were slandering Liu Nian for selling fake medicine!
"Investigate! You must find out the truth!" Chief Wu roared in fury.
These villagers had never seen anything like this before. They were all terrified and didn't dare to look at Liu Nian. How did Liu Nian know these important people?
Liu Nian said, "I've already found out what happened, and my sister-in-law will be here with people soon." She hadn't shown up yet because she was in a hurry to investigate what had happened.
Wan Jianshe wiped the cold sweat from his brow, realizing that Liu Nian was someone he couldn't afford to offend, and that Liu Nian might very well have wronged him.
Just as he was about to say something flattering, he saw Zhang Suzhen walking over with people from the supply and marketing cooperative.
Wang Xiuzhi was so frightened that she immediately turned tail and ran.
"Grab her!"
Commander Wu gave the order personally, and Wu Qi swiftly stepped forward and pinned Wang Xiuzhi to the ground.
A member of the supply and marketing cooperative pointed at Wang Xiuzhi and said, "It was her! She bought all the face cream in the cooperative!"
Before anyone could ask her any more questions, Wang Xiuzhi confessed everything, her voice trembling.
If she doesn't turn herself in, things will only get worse, since Liu Nian has the county magistrate and other officials backing her up.
So that's how it happened! Wan Jianshe wiped the cold sweat from his brow. How could he have believed Wang Xiuzhi? He kept apologizing, afraid that Liu Nian would blame him.
"You all must be severely punished! Provoking trouble, what kind of behavior is this! Take him away!" Chief Wu took a deep breath. Liu Nian was his family's savior, and his savior's affairs were his affairs.
but--
"Actually, I came here today to express my gratitude for two reasons. The other reason is to inform you that the factory situation is somewhat complicated, and I really can't do anything about it," Chief Wu sighed.
"Come on, let's go inside and talk." Liu Nian frowned.
