He is from another county and rents a house. His wife is pregnant now. He has an elderly mother who needs medicine all year round and two children who are only ten years old.
Helpless, Manager Qian went to Huichuntang again to ask for his wages, but he didn't expect that not only did he not get it, he was also beaten.
Moreover, the second in command even colluded with others not to hire him, resulting in the family having no income during this period. He could only work at the dock, but he was old after all, and could only earn a few coppers a day.
He was so hungry today that when he saw the hot buns, he lost his mind and actually picked them up. Thanks to Sang Yu's help, his reputation was saved.
Thinking about how he worked diligently for half his life, but ended up like this, I felt a lot of emotion.
At this time, they were sitting in a private room behind the "Ji Shi Pharmacy". Next to them was a small stove with a kettle on it, bubbling with steam.
Sang Yu took the teapot, put the tea leaves in, picked up the kettle and brewed the tea.
After brewing the tea, Sang Yu poured a cup of tea. "This is the tea I picked myself on the mountain. Shopkeeper Wu, you can taste it." She handed it to Shopkeeper Wu, "Please, Shopkeeper Wu."
Shopkeeper Wu was flattered and took the teacup. He took a sip and said, "Not bad. The tea has a delicate fragrance that lingers on the palate, with a hint of asparagus fern."
Sang Yu paused, then smiled and suddenly understood why he liked to drink this tea.
She just felt the taste was familiar.
"Shopkeeper Wu is a sensible man, so I won't beat around the bush." Sang Yu said, "I need a shopkeeper now. I wonder if you are interested."
Shopkeeper Wu stood up excitedly, and with red eyes, he bowed to Sang Yu and said, "Thank you for your appreciation, Master."
He also emphasized the words "head of the family".
Sang Yu said: "There is a shelter behind this pharmacy. If you need it, you can move your family in."
This time, Shopkeeper Wu's gratitude was more than just a simple expression. He was about to kneel down, but Sang Yu stopped him. "No need to kneel down. Shopkeeper Wu, please stop first. I'll give you the first thing you can do. Let's talk about it later."
Sang Yu then told Manager Wu about their recent difficulties and wanted him to go to Linchun County to purchase medicinal materials.
Letting his family move in earlier had other implications, but Shopkeeper Wu naturally knew Sang Yu's concerns, and understood them very well, so he gladly accepted it.
Manager Wu was originally from Linchun County, so this was no problem at all for him.
In this regard, the dilemma of medicinal materials can be considered half solved.
But new difficulties arose.
Because the medicine in the county was selling like hot cakes, Sang Yu took advantage of the situation and opened a store in the town, intending to open it after Manager Wu bought back the medicinal materials.
One day, Sang Yu was packing when she saw a gorgeous carriage stopped at the door.
The servant quickly got off the car and put the footstool away. Then a woman wearing a light blue dress with hundreds of flowers and two-tone satin soft-soled shoes with peacock beads and hibiscus flowers came down.
She looked up at the sign at the door, curled her lips in disdain, and then came in.
"Are you Sang Yu?"
Sang Yu responded and saw that the woman was quite pretty, but she had too many hairpins on her head, about twenty of them. Sang Yu felt exhausted for her.
Seeing that Sang Yu ignored her, she suddenly took a step forward.
Suddenly, Sang Yu smelled a pungent smell of powder, which made her take a step back.
Seeing her retreat, the woman became even angrier and pointed at Sang Yu arrogantly, saying, "With your rustic appearance, you still want to marry into the county magistrate's house? You're simply dreaming!"
Sang Yu frowned and looked at the woman. She might be seriously ill. What was she saying suddenly?
"Don't think that if you keep pestering your cousin all day, he will marry you. With your attitude, you'd better give up on this idea!"
"Miss, you may have recognized the wrong person. Besides, I am already married and I will not compete with you for your cousin."
The woman didn't expect Sang Yu to reveal her inner thoughts. She blushed immediately and paused before saying viciously, "Don't think I don't know your true identity! Seeing your husband dying, you come to pick on my cousin! My cousin must have seen few women to be bewitched by you. I warn you, you must stay away from my cousin, otherwise I will make you pay!"
The woman surveyed the shop and continued, "By then, it's uncertain whether your pharmacy will be able to remain open!"
Sang Yu's face suddenly turned cold. "May I ask who your cousin is? And why is he cursing my husband for no reason? Aren't you afraid of being beaten if you say something wrong?"
"Hmph!" the woman said, "I'm telling you, I'm the niece of the wife of the Qilai County Magistrate and the cousin of the Magistrate's son! How dare you hit me? Besides, a soldier on the battlefield will suffer more casualties than gains. What else can I say?"
Sang Yu became even angrier when he heard this!
This woman actually made up a rumor that her husband was dead. He stepped forward and slapped her in the face.
"You're the cousin of the county magistrate's son. I think you're a complete idiot. How dare you spread rumors like that? If I hear you say anything about my husband again, I'll rip your mouth off!"
The woman had never expected that Sang Yu would actually hit someone. She covered her face in complete confusion.
Sang Yu tried to control the force when hitting her, but the left side of his face still turned red. "You... you dare to hit me! Someone, hit her!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several people rushed over, but these people were no match for Sang Yu at all. They all fell down after a few hits. The woman saw Sang Yu's ferocious look and was so scared that she ran away in a hurry.
The man was chased away, but Sang Yu felt lost for a moment.
Because of what the woman said, Sang Yu was indeed worried.
Now Sang Yu especially regrets not asking who Yu Zhiheng is. She guessed that he was not Chen Erdan, but at that time she just wanted a stable life and chose to turn a blind eye.
But now, she regretted not asking a few more questions about who he was and whether he was a small general. If so, his chances of survival would be greater.
When Sang Yu returned home, he was very tired. After practicing with Yang Mian for a while, he lost interest. Finally, he asked Xia Mingxu to go to the border to check on Yu Zhiheng's situation. Only then did he feel much better.
Of course, he also told her about his cousin coming to see him today.
Xia Mingxu looked constipated. "Could it be Pan Jiawei?" He immediately assured Sang Yu, "Master, I promise to warn her tomorrow. This will never happen again."
Sang Yu nodded, and saw Yang Mian open his fan and spin it around. "You actually dare to set your sights on Master! You're really bold!"
