Chapter 18 Exclusion
The affairs of the Cao family were widely spread throughout Jiangling. Whenever Ye Chutang walked on the street, he could always hear people talking about it.
She listened as she walked, and finally understood most of it.
Cao Chengwen was taken away by the yamen people early in the morning and is probably being interrogated now. The entire Cao family has been blocked by officials and no one is allowed to enter or leave at will.
Three lives were lost, which was definitely a major case, and no one dared to be negligent.
Ye Chutang walked around two streets and finally stopped in front of a drug store.
Seeing her coming, the clerk in the drugstore hurriedly stepped forward to greet her warmly: "Doctor Ye! You are here! Please come in!"
The clinic run by Ye Chutang was very small, and the three children in the family were still young. Except for a very small number that she dug in the mountains, most of them were bought by her at large pharmacies.
Mainly for convenience.
Ye Chutang came in, greeted Manager Zhao, and handed over a purchase order as usual.
"That's all for this time."
Recently, she has been mainly treating Chen Yanchuan and has used a lot of things. She thought it was time to come and buy some.
However, after looking at the list, Shopkeeper Zhao looked embarrassed.
"Doctor Ye, there are several medicinal herbs here that we don't have."
Ye Chutang was stunned: "What?"
Shopkeeper Zhao pointed it out to her and said, "You know, it rained the past two days, and the roads are not easy to travel on. The ordered herbs were delayed! There are no Angelica, White Poria, or Taiwucao!"
Ye Chutang felt something was wrong in his heart, but he did not show it on his face.
She said calmly, "Then take whatever is left."
Shopkeeper Zhao winked at his waiter.
After a while, the waiter came back with the herbs. Ye Chutang smiled after just one look.
"Manager Zhao, this is not the first day I've come to your house. You know I won't want something of this age and quality."
He didn't ask for anything and in the end, all he brought out were defective products. It was obvious that he was trying to annoy her on purpose.
Shopkeeper Zhao opened his mouth and said, "Doctor Ye, these are indeed all we have left. If you don't like them, why don't you go look somewhere else?"
Ye Chutang raised his eyelids slightly and looked at him quietly.
Shopkeeper Zhao, however, had already averted his eyes guiltily and deliberately shouted at the waiter, "What are you standing there for? There's a layer of dust on the medicine cabinet! You didn't even wipe it clean! How can anyone see this?"
Ye Chutang simply said goodbye.
She went to another pharmacy on the same street and, as expected, received a very similar answer.
——The medicinal materials are incomplete and cannot be sold.
After coming out of the third pharmacy empty-handed, Ye Chutang didn't waste any more time and went straight home.
In the evening, after class, brothers Ye Jingyan and Ye Yunfeng got home, and Ye Jingyan went straight to the pharmacy.
But soon, he came out again with a look of surprise, and asked Ye Chutang who was sorting and drying herbs in the yard, "Sister, didn't you buy any new herbs today?"
Sister had clearly mentioned it in the morning, so he prepared to pack up as soon as he came back, but who would have thought that he didn't add anything.
Ye Chutang simply repeated what happened before.
Ye Jingyan's brows gradually frowned: "So, they deliberately didn't sell it to us? But why would they do that?"
Ye Chutang didn't even raise his head: "Why else? Of course it's because I offended someone."
"Offended someone? But we—" Ye Jingyan suddenly thought of something, and his expression changed slightly, "Could it be... the Cao family?"
But the Cao family must be in a lot of trouble now, so how could they have the energy to make things difficult for them?
"I heard that Boss Cao has returned to Jiangling." Ye Chutang said.
Cao Deping was away from home before, and when he heard the news of Cao Chengwu's death, he rushed back without stopping. Unexpectedly, as soon as he got home, Cao Chengwen was imprisoned on suspicion of murder.
What a coincidence.
As for why he targeted Ye Chutang as soon as he came back... Cao Chengwen's instigation was naturally indispensable.
Judging from the time, Cao Chengwen should have already teamed up with these drug stores to target her a long time ago. It's just that she had been busy in the past few days and had no time to buy medicinal materials, so she only realized something was wrong now.
The Cao family is a wealthy family in Jiangling and has many connections, so it is very easy for them to deal with Ye Chutang's family of outsiders.
If it weren't for Ye Chutang's outstanding medical skills and the respect he received from everyone, the situation today would have been even worse.
She might not even be able to get through the door of the drugstore.
Ye Jingyan became worried: "Then what should we do?"
Isn't it ridiculous that a clinic doesn't have any medicine?
Ye Chutang didn't seem to think the matter was that serious: "It's simple. At worst, we won't sell the herbs, we can just prescribe them and let them go out to get the medicine themselves. It's the same thing."
Ye Jingyan pursed his lips.
Although Ajie's tone was relaxed, he knew very well that the trouble this time was definitely not small.
If these pharmacies really unite to target them, then what awaits them later will definitely be more difficult problems to solve!
"Sister! The meal is ready!"
Ye Yunfeng was busy in the kitchen and didn't hear their conversation.
Ye Chutang put away the last batch of medicinal herbs.
"Let's eat first, and we can talk about other things later. Go and bring Xiaowu over to eat."
Ye Jingyan was still worried, but since his sister said so, he could only do as she said.
However, just as he turned to leave, Ye Chutang's eyes suddenly fixed on him.
"Wait. Ah Yan, what's the matter with the wound on your hand?"
Ye Jingyan was startled and subconsciously wanted to hide his hand, but when he met Ye Chutang's eyes, he stopped.
At this time, Ye Yunfeng just walked over. Hearing this, he immediately said indignantly: "You are not the Master!"
Of course Ye Chutang could also see that the two bright red marks on Ah Yan's palms were left by the ruler.
This always happened to Afeng in the past, but Ayan has always been smart and reserved, never causing trouble, so how could this happen?
Ye Jingyan explained: "Nothing, it was just that during class, the teacher asked me a question and I didn't answer it, so I was punished."
What question can't he answer?
It's obvious that the teacher is deliberately making things difficult for me!
Ye Chutang was silent for a moment and didn't ask any more questions.
"Okay, let's eat first."
Ye Jingyan nodded slightly.
…
Ye Chutang did not enjoy this meal.
It was obvious that someone was deliberately targeting them.
Ye Chutang knew without hesitation who was driving all this to happen; it must be the Cao family.
But this is not the key, the key is how to solve it.
The owner of the drug store can sell medicinal materials to whoever he wants, and the teacher in the academy can teach whoever he wants a lesson. To put it bluntly, it's just a personal grudge.
They are doing their best to make things difficult for you, so what can you do?
However, not long after, something happened that Ye Chutang had never expected.
——After being taken to the government office for three days of interrogation, Cao Chengwen was acquitted.
