Chapter 678 The Onset of Disease
Thinking about Xu Qingshan and Xu Nianmiao, Xu Miaomiao really couldn't sleep. From time to time, she had to get up to check on Xu Nianmiao in the cradle to make sure she was sleeping soundly before she felt relieved.
Gu Yuanniang naturally didn't sleep well either. She just took a short nap and rushed over anxiously. Seeing Xu Qingshan's face gradually turning red, she breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that you've recovered, it's good that you've recovered."
"Miao Miao, why don't you take a rest?"
Xu Miaomiao shook her head upon hearing this, looked at the desolate courtyard, and said, "It's okay. I can't sleep anyway. Come with me to the department store later. If the disease starts to spread, it's better to go check it out in advance."
"good."
Gu Yuanniang nodded and looked at the sleeping Xu Nianmiao. Her cheeks were no longer as red as before, but had returned to their normal color. Her body was not as hot anymore. Gu Yuanniang was a little happy and said, "This medicine really works. She took it and returned to normal in a short while."
"Well, I guess Mr. Xu is fine now."
Xu Miaomiao murmured to herself, and put the child in her arms in the cradle. She was about to leave, but Xiaobao next to her came first, stared at Xu Miaomiao and said, "Mom, what happened? Is the illness serious this time?"
Xu Miaomiao squatted down, looked at the little boy and said, "Don't worry about this matter, Xiaobao, just stay at home obediently. Mother will handle any problem."
"Well, mother, be careful. Although mother is very powerful, Xiaobao still needs to warn mother."
"Okay." Xu Miaomiao said softly and left in a hurry.
This time the illness did not come suddenly, but there were many signs, such as the previous incident with the Weaver Girl, and these spoiled vegetables, which were all signs.
But compared to what Xu Miaomiao and the others had said before that it was man-made, they believed more that the Weaver Girl really existed, and no matter how Xu Miaomiao explained it, it was of no use.
The streets that were once deserted became deserted, with only a few passers-by, who were still wearing veils and hurriedly walking through the streets, as if there was a ferocious beast chasing them from behind.
However, the scene inside the department store was different from the places nearby. Everyone gathered at the door, as if they were no longer afraid, and they all surrounded the door.
Xu Miaomiao arrived earlier, so the door of the department store was not open yet. Seeing this, Gu Yuanniang was a little puzzled and asked, "Why are there so many people gathering here during this period? Shouldn't they all be hiding out of fear?"
Xu Miaomiao was also suspicious of Gu Yuanniang's doubts, but she did not speak: "Sixth Mother, let's go in from the back door."
Few people know about the back door of the department store. Because of the courtyard of the house, although the back yard and the front yard of the department store are connected, they are not in a straight line, so few people can think of this as the back door of the department store.
“Dangdangdang——”
Xu Miaomiao knocked on the door gently, but no sound came from inside. Curiously, she poked her head out and looked inside. Seeing this, Gu Yuanniang also stepped forward and knocked on the door.
"Who is it?"
The person who was talking in the room was Yu Zhen. Hearing the knock on the door, he spoke tentatively.
Xu Miaomiao said calmly: "It's me, open the door."
Hearing Xu Miaomiao's voice, Yu Zhen came out and opened the door the next moment. When he saw that it was really Xu Miaomiao, he was still a little surprised and said, "Madam Xu, it's really you. Your condition is so serious now, you must be careful."
Yu Zhen gave some worried instructions.
Hearing what Yu Zhen said, Xu Miaomiao nodded slightly and said, "I will be careful myself. Let's go in and talk first."
"good."
Yu Zhen nodded, and immediately stepped aside to let Xu Miaomiao and Gu Yuanniang in.
When they arrived at the store and looked at the empty shop, Xu Miaomiao immediately asked, "What's going on?"
Yu Jie, who was counting the accounts, immediately stepped forward and whispered in Xu Miaomiao's ear, saying, "Madam Xu, these have been snatched up. Because of the illness, no one dares to go out, so they can only buy things from us that are easy to store and can be eaten. It's a pity that these things are sold out too quickly. The suppliers we had originally agreed to buy from are no longer willing to buy because of the illness, and our stock has been sold out."
"Buying things is a good thing, but I don't want to make this money." Xu Miaomiao said trying to protect her undefeated attitude.
Hearing Xu Miaomiao's words, Gu Yuanniang beside her immediately stepped forward and said, "Miaomiao, you are right, but now that things have happened, what should we do?"
Gu Yuanniang's worries are right. If Xu Miaomiao doesn't want to make this money, then just donate all the silver from these days. But now the biggest man in Bai County is Hu Chong, and it is still unknown whether this incident has anything to do with the prince. If it does, what will Hu Chong do with the money? In any case, he will never use it on the people.
"Don't worry, I'm thinking about it."
Xu Miaomiao spoke calmly, but there was already a knock on the door outside.
"Open the door, open the door quickly."
"Why aren't you open yet? Aren't you doing business?"
"That's right, it's already so late, open the door quickly."
The sound of quarreling among the crowd outside was endless. When one sound ended, another sound immediately came from the other side. Hearing the noisy sound, Xu Miaomiao nodded to Yu Jie.
Yu Jie slowly stood up, understood what Xu Miaomiao meant, walked outside, opened the door a little, looked at the people outside and immediately said, "Everyone, we have really bought all the things in our house, and the warehouse is empty. Please don't come over to make things difficult for us."
Hearing this, dissatisfied voices from outside began to sound again.
"Don't you have everything in this department store?"
"That's right. We came to give you money, but you still refuse."
"No, you guys can't do it, no one is doing business like you!"
Hearing the noisy sound, everyone was about to crowd over, Xu Miaomiao immediately put on her bamboo hat, walked in front of everyone and said, "Everyone, we really don't have anything left, please don't make things difficult for us."
"It's not us who are making things difficult for you, it's God who is making things difficult for us."
"Hey, this isn't Madam Xu. She was the one who found the antidote to the previous plague. She will definitely be able to do it this time."
"That's right, miracle doctor, you have to help us."
"Madam Xu, my mother is already 70 years old. She has a fever all day long and her body is covered with ulcers. You have to help me."
