“Comrade, the medicines in our pharmacy are all honest and of high quality, and there is absolutely no problem with the counterfeit or substandard products you mentioned.” Zhou Yu frowned.
Suddenly a shout came from the other end of the line, and the phone was abruptly hung up.
"Lu Ya, has your son's job been secured yet? It's almost the end of the month, and I need to submit the list of people to be sent to the countryside," the director of the subdistrict office said sternly and displeasedly.
Lu Ya hurriedly stuffed a large sum of money into the director's hand: "Director, don't worry, my son's job will be settled soon. I will definitely get it done by the end of the month so as not to cause you any trouble."
The director accepted the bribe but didn't hold onto it any longer. He gave Lu Ya a few more words of advice before leaving.
Lu Ya couldn't sit still any longer, so she grabbed her bag and went out.
...
Zhou Yu looked rather annoyed after the call was disconnected. Suppressing her displeasure, she made another call.
After finishing all the work, she told Su Wantang about the unexpected incident that had occurred at Xia Bao's place.
Su Wantang thought for a moment and said, "Since his family doesn't trust us, let's remove him from the list."
"good."
In the afternoon, Su Wantang interviewed several people with great anticipation, but in the end, she hung her head listlessly.
This one is too careless; this one has a bad memory; this one doesn't understand pharmacology, and is a slippery character...
After asking around, I still haven't found anyone, but my throat is incredibly dry.
As soon as Su Wantang had sent everyone away, Zhou Yu stepped forward somewhat nervously.
"Sister Wantang, it's all my fault. I didn't choose the right person."
"It's none of your business. I'm very demanding, and it's not easy to find people who meet my requirements. You keep recruiting, and we'll find someone slowly."
Seeing that Su Wantang didn't blame him, Zhou Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
"By the way, your little annotation is good."
Zhou Yu, who was praised, curled up the corners of her lips: "It's good that I can help Sister Wantang."
In the afternoon, just before closing time, Yue Tao walked in with two men.
"Sister-in-law, this is Li Zhi and Wang Quan."
Li Zhi was shot in the ankle bone. After the injury healed, he was left with a limp.
Wang Quan's limbs were fine, but he had lost sight in one eye.
Considering the situation of the two, Su Wantang asked Wang Quan to stay at the store to help out, and gave Li Zhi and Yue Tao other tasks.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
Worried about Liu Cuicui, Song Wanying couldn't sit still any longer and started thinking of ways to ask for money again.
However, Su Wantang did not give it to her.
After learning that she had spent all five hundred yuan at once, Su Zhichen decided not to help her.
Song Wanying cursed the father and daughter behind their backs, but she had no choice but to lower her head and continue to use sweet words and tricks to ask for money.
After several fruitless attempts, she became quite angry.
That day, when Aunt Wang opened Su Wantang's room to air out the quilts, a ten-yuan note fell off the bed.
"Oh dear, how could Wan Tang just throw money away like that? What if she loses it and can't find it again?"
Aunt Wang opened the drawer and put the money inside.
Song Wanying, who happened to be passing by, overheard this conversation and her mind began to stir. When she caught sight of a lot of banknotes in the drawer, her eyes lit up.
An hour later, she secretly slipped out of the compound, clutching her bulging pockets.
Two hours later, she emerged from the Friendship Store looking radiant.
This time, the experienced Song Wanying didn't take the bus, but hailed a taxi and arrived at the entrance of Xiangyang Brigade Village in style.
As soon as she got out of the car, she attracted the attention of the busy people in the field.
Wearing a black wool coat, a beige knitted sweater underneath, flared pants, and small leather shoes, her hair exuded a fashionable air.
Even those who had just met Song Wanying recently found it hard to recognize her; she had changed so much.
Seeing the pairs of eyes glued to her, eyes that belonged to their husbands and sons, everyone immediately became unhappy.
Someone shouted, "Aunt Huo, why aren't you taking that vixen away? If she stays any longer, I think all the men in the brigade will be bewitched. Do you want us to be widows?"
Huo Xiaoyan smiled a few times and hurriedly stepped forward to pull Song Wanying back.
Her eyes gleamed; good heavens, judging by her outfit, she must have brought a lot of money.
Just as Huo Xiaoyan approached, before she could pull Song Wanying away, an older woman suddenly said, "Didn't you say last time that you were looking for someone named Cui Cui?"
Huo Xiaoyan's heart tightened, realizing something was wrong. Before she could stop her, the woman blurted out something.
"There was only one person named Cuicui in our village, named Liu Cuicui. Unfortunately, she had bad luck and passed away."
Song Wanying froze for a moment, then burst into a shrill scream: "What did you say? Who died?"
"Liu Cuicui! She died of illness! Our whole brigade knows!"
"You old hag, you lied to me? If you dare kill my Cui Cui, I'll kill you!" Upon learning the truth, Song Wanying's eyes turned bloodshot as she reached for Huo Xiaoyan's neck.
...
"Sister-in-law, something terrible has happened!"
