"Yao'er, what are you doing?"
"Second Uncle, I'm sorry. It's my fault. If I hadn't been so obsessed with taking shortcuts, Wan'antang wouldn't have ended up like this today. I, Guan Yaoer, am such a bastard. I'm so sorry..."
Guan Wanshan quickly grabbed Guan Yaoer's hand to prevent her from slapping his face. He sighed and said, "Forget it... Now that things have come to this, there's no point in saying anything more. Yaoer, get up. Second Uncle doesn't blame you. In fact, I am also responsible for the store's problems. If I hadn't lost a large sum of money gambling, I wouldn't have used Wan'antang's working capital to repay my debts.
Sigh... I guess this is all karma. I won't say any more. I want to be alone for a while. Can you go back first?"
Guan Yaoer heard that Guan Wanshan was still reluctant to leave Wan'antang and didn't want this century-old store to be ruined. The figure of a masked woman appeared in her mind.
Guan Yaoer thought that it was the masked girl who exposed her fake medicine. If she wanted Wan'antang to get rid of the reputation of "swindler", perhaps the masked girl could help.
But Guan Yaoer didn’t know any information about the masked girl, and she didn’t know where to find her?
Feeling confused, Guan Yaoer left Wan'an Hall. She walked aimlessly on the small path in Fengyun Town. When she unknowingly walked to the ferry pier.
“Wow…wow…”
The sound of a baby crying startled Guan Yaoer, and she quickly looked in the direction of the crying sound.
I saw a bamboo basket containing a baby under a big tree not far from the ferry.
"Whose doll is this? Does anyone recognize this child?"
Guan Yaoer ran to the big tree and picked up the baby, while she asked the people coming and going.
However, everyone who heard this question shook their heads at Guan Yaoer.
"I don't know. The baby looks like it was born not long ago. The parents are so cruel. How could they leave such a small baby under a tree? What if a stray dog gets it? Isn't that a life?"
Hearing the word "wild dog," Guan Yaoer, who had been about to put the baby back into the basket, quickly took the baby back into her arms. She angrily said, "If you can't afford to raise a child, then don't give birth. What's the point of giving birth now and not raising it? She abandoned such a young child out there. Is she really that heartless as a mother? After all, she carried the baby for ten months. This is really too much!"
As he said that, two strings of tears flowed uncontrollably.
Passersby looked at the woman who was dressed in white but had a veil on her face.
Then someone seemed to recognize the woman's identity, followed by a loud scream.
"It's her. She's the female healer from Wan'antang. She's the one who sold us the fake medicine."
"Ah? So you're that deceptive 'female healer'? You tricked me into spending almost one tael of silver on your 'fake medicine', and it turned out to be completely useless. Hurry up and pay me back, give me one tael of silver."
"I was also cheated out of seven or eight hundred coins, you liar, please give me back my money."
"Pay back the money..."
“Pay back the money!”
“…”
Facing the voices demanding debts, Guan Yaoer was stunned. Holding the still crying baby in her arms, she said weakly, "Hey... everyone, aren't we talking about the abandoned baby now? Why are you bringing money into this matter?
How about… let’s put things in perspective. Does anyone here know this child? If anyone knows, please let me know and I’d like you to send this child back to her home?”
