Chapter 72 Chapter 72 Paying Off a Debt with a Person “What! Liu…
"What! Liu Yingying brought people to smash the medicine shop??!"
A group of people gathered together and whispered to each other, and a man in a short shirt exclaimed loudly.
"Keep your voice down. My ears are almost hoarse from your yelling." The man who broke the news earlier scratched his ears and complained.
The man in the short shirt scratched his head awkwardly and said apologetically, "I can't control my loud voice when I get excited. Please forgive me, brother!"
"Is this true? Why would she smash the pharmacy?" someone asked, not knowing what was going on.
"It's true! I was at the scene and saw with my own eyes that she led people to smash it." One of them said excitedly, and he wanted to dance with his hands and reconstruct how the smashing happened to him.
"Didn't the pharmacy just release a new scar-removing ointment?"
Everyone nodded. This should be known to everyone in Qingkang Town. With the Qibao Meixu Pills and Jiuyang Buqi Pills in the past, everyone was looking forward to the efficacy of this new scar removal cream.
"I heard that Shopkeeper Yu recruited two women with facial scars. After trying it for just one night, their scars miraculously completely disappeared. Isn't that remarkable!"
"A few scars are nothing. To me, those women are trouble. Men like me never think about removing scars. Scars are a symbol of masculinity!" Someone suddenly interrupted the narration with disdain.
"With your thick skin, no one will listen to your scar removal. Go away. Even if you don't want to listen, we do!" Everyone worked together to drive away this incomprehensible person.
The man took a sip of tea and continued, "It's a bit pricey. There's only one box, and the price is one thousand taels of silver."
"Oh my god, one thousand and two taels of silver!" Everyone was amazed by the number.
"Yes, because there was only one box. In the end, there was almost a fight over it. Several people were bidding for it. In the end, the price was two thousand taels of silver, and it was bought by Liu Yingying from Yanliu Pavilion."
No one was surprised by this result. The news of Liu Yingying's disfigurement had already spread widely. Although they had not seen it with their own eyes, they had all heard of it.
She must have bought this ointment to restore her appearance!
"We thought we'd be able to see her again the next day, but guess what? She turned around and smashed the pharmacy, bringing people with her personally!"
"I heard that because the ointment didn't work and he felt he had wasted his money, he smashed the shop in a rage. You can see how angry he was."
On the day of the attack, she didn't even wear a veil on her face, so everyone saw the scar on her face.
Wow, it’s so long, coiled on the face like a centipede.
She's the top star at Yanliu Pavilion! The kids next door were so scared they started crying when they saw her!
The man said with some regret: "Even the scar removal cream at the pharmacy can't save it. The face is really ruined."
"It worked well for others, but it didn't work for her. Who can I blame? There's no need to smash the store, right?" said a person who had received help from the pharmacy, indignantly.
"Oh, that's right! I heard that a lot of things were smashed that day, including a lot of precious pills and herbs. The people at the medicine shop calculated that at least five thousand taels of silver were lost! Now they're dragging Yan Mama from Yanliu Pavilion to demand compensation!"
"What? Why didn't you say so earlier? Why are you still standing there? Let's go watch a show." The crowd at the tea stall dispersed in a swarm.
Zhao Mingsheng also heard what she wanted to hear. She curled her lips slightly and said, "Let's go to the pharmacy."

Inside the drugstore, my mother's heart ached when she saw the messy cigarettes all over the floor.
She knew the price of these pills in the pharmacy; on the black market, they were fetching tens or even hundreds of dollars each. But now, scattered all over the floor, trampled to pieces, even she couldn't help but feel heartbroken at the sight! That was all hard-earned money!
When she thought of this, she couldn't help but glare fiercely at the culprit, Liu Yingying, who was standing beside her.
Mother Yan was so angry when she saw her expressionless face and indifferent attitude that her teeth were about to break. If she hadn't hoped to be useful to her in the future, she would have beaten her to death with a stick.
At this time, Manager Yu came out from the backyard with Shi Shao.
At the signal from Shopkeeper Yu, Shi Shao slammed the list in his hand in front of Yan Mama with a dark face.
"This is the calculated loss. Please check it. If there is no problem, compensate us as soon as possible. If you don't compensate us within three days, we will face the government!"
Shi Shao didn't know that all this was planned in advance. Looking at the mess on the ground, he felt more heartbroken than Yan's mother. These were the medicinal herbs and pills that Master and Sister Zhao had worked so hard to make, and now they were all destroyed!
Thinking of this, he glared at the woman who was covered with a veil, revealing only a pair of beautiful eyes.
Receiving this fiery gaze, Liu Yingying pursed her lips and suppressed the smile on her lips.
Wow, this little brother is quite fierce.
Looking at the various losses of elixirs listed on the list in her hand, and the total amount of five thousand five hundred and fifty taels of silver written in capital letters at the end, Mother Yan's eyes went dark, her whole body shook, and she almost fell.
"This...this is too much!"
"Everything is clearly listed on the list. If you have any questions, feel free to compare with us. The day this lady brought people to smash the pharmacy, we had just prepared a batch of pills and were about to deliver them to customers. But she smashed them all as soon as she came!" Shi Shao was not intimidated and confronted her directly.
At this time, Shopkeeper Yu finally spoke up, "If you think it's too much, then I'll charge you less. We're all running a business, and it's not easy for everyone."
Under Mother Yan's expectant gaze, he smiled and said, "I don't want the fifty taels of silver."
What this means is that not a single cent of the five thousand five hundred taels can be lost.
Mother Yan's Yanliu Pavilion had been open for so many years, she could still come up with five thousand taels. But if she took it out like this, it would be more painful than cutting her flesh.
She nudged Liu Yingying beside her and whispered, "You've caused this trouble yourself, don't you want to think of a solution? At least give me some money."
Liu Yingying acted like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water. "I have no money. All the money I saved was used to buy that box of ointment."
Mother Yan was furious for a moment. She knew that Liu Yingying had no money. After the incident, she searched her house thoroughly but couldn't find a penny.
This useless, money-losing thing! I can't make her money, but she still has to pay me back! She cursed in her heart.
As she was cursing, she suddenly thought of something, and her eyes, which were fixed on Liu Yingying, began to swirl around.
"Shopkeeper Yu, let's put it this way. I'll give you Liu Yingying's indenture as collateral," she said shamelessly. "Back then, someone offered eight thousand taels to buy her, but I refused!"
“Isn’t this a scam?”
"That's right, how can her worth compare to what it is now?"
The onlookers couldn't stand it anymore and started to speak up for the injustice, making Yan's mother's face turn red and green.
Manager Yu didn't say anything. Since he didn't refuse, it meant there was hope.
Although Liu Yingying's face was disfigured, her figure was still there. Even a woman could not help herself when looking at her. And her voice, when the lights were turned off at night and it was pitch dark, it was the same. Who could see who!
Mother Yan was secretly delighted, haha, it seems that all men are just like this.
So she gritted her teeth and said, "I'll give you her indenture as a 4,000 taels in exchange for her, and I'll give you the remaining 1,500 taels."
Just when she thought the other party would not give in.
Shopkeeper Yu spoke.
"OK."
