“But even so, our medical center has not mistreated her.” Yuan Niang hesitated for a moment before telling Liu Zhong everything that had happened after that.
“Later on, she said that she had prepared the ingredients in advance and that we were making things difficult for her. My boss said that we would buy all the ingredients at the original price and even pay her five extra taels of silver!
Sir, don’t you think we’ve done our best? But what about the boss? She’s an ingrate!
After that, she cursed us almost every day.
Our medical center is doing well, but whose money isn’t hard-earned? Besides, our medical center has the lowest consultation fees and medical fees in the entire Cloud Mountain City. How can we make much profit?
However, my boss said that we can’t afford to offend someone like her. In order not to cause trouble for ourselves, we might as well ignore her!
“But look, even if we ignored her, we still got into trouble because of her!”
…..
As Yuan Niang spoke, her eyes turned red and she sobbed.
She wasn’t deliberately putting on an act. She was really upset and subconsciously revealed her true emotions.
Of course, she felt aggrieved. Previously, she saw that the boss was quite well-behaved, so she relented and gave her some leeway. However, who knew that she would cause so much trouble for the medical center?
Liu Zhong didn’t expect that a simple question would actually make the young lady in front of him cry. He could deal with vicious and intimidating people, but he was really at a loss when dealing with such a delicate young lady.
He was so anxious that he didn’t know what to do and advised awkwardly, “Don’t cry. The matter will be investigated. If it really has nothing to do with your medical center, I will definitely get the county governor to issue a notice to prove it for you guys.
I wanted to find out the truth as soon as possible, so I took the liberty to disturb you these past few days.
I know that your medical center is innocent, but much evidence points to your medical center now, so I have to investigate some things first…
Don’t cry!”
Just as Liu Zhong felt flustered and wanted to coax Yuan Niang, Lin Suisui entered the medical center under the protection of Bai Guo, Su Le, and the others.
“What’s going on?”
As soon as Lin Suisui entered, she saw Yuan Niang, who was sitting on the chair at the side and crying uncontrollably. Then, she looked at Liu Zhong, who was blushing. She frowned slightly and asked, “You’re Constable Liu Zhong, right?”
“I, I, she…” Liu Zhong wanted to explain that everything in front of him really had nothing to do with him, but when he thought about the question he had just asked, he was a little uncertain. Perhaps, he really had something to do with this?
Therefore, after holding it in for a long time, Liu Zhong reluctantly explained everything that had just happened to Lin Sui. Then, he bowed to her apologetically and said, “I’m sorry, I really didn’t mean any harm. I just had something to ask.”
“I understand.” Lin Suisui more or less understood why Yuan Niang was crying so sadly, so she nodded at Liu Zhong and said gently, “I have something to tell Yuan Niang. I wonder if you can go to the private room on the third floor and drink a cup of tea while waiting?”
“Of course. I’ve troubled you.” Seeing that Lin Sui’s attitude was sincere and gentle, Liu Zhong looked even more apologetic and he quickly nodded in agreement with Lin Sui’s suggestion.
Originally, he thought that he would be chased out today!
After settling Liu Zhong down, Lin Suisui walked forward and helped Yuan Niang upstairs with Bai Guo.
As she walked, she coaxed Yuan Niang softly, “It’s not your fault.
Whether it was when you chose to cooperate with the boss of the eatery or when you realized that something was wrong with the boss and stopped the cooperation, you did nothing wrong.
This kind of thing is an accident to begin with. It’s not like you and I can predict the future. How could we have known that so many troublesome things would happen later?”
Lin Sui’s words made Yuan Niang stop crying, but she still couldn’t suppress her guilt. “However, it was all because of me. If I hadn’t chosen to cooperate with her back then, there wouldn’t have been so much trouble.”
“Then I’m the real culprit. If I hadn’t lowered the price of the medicine at the beginning, I wouldn’t have offended those people from the medical association and made them give us a hard time.”
Lin Suisui handed the handkerchief in her hand to Yuan Niang as she advised her with a smile, “If not for this, no one would have looked for the boss in order to set us up.
Perhaps she wouldn’t have lost her life.”
“How is that possible? She deserves it for being greedy!” Hearing Lin Sui’s words, Yuan Niang couldn’t be bothered to wipe her tears anymore. She looked up at Lin Suisui with red eyes and retorted, “If not for her evil intentions, how could she have been used by others?”
“You also know that it was the boss who caused this disaster. Then why do you have to blame yourself for the trouble she caused?”
Upon hearing Yuan Niang’s words, Lin Suisui couldn’t help but cover her mouth and look at her with a smile. “Don’t worry too much. Look, your eyes are swollen from crying. Nanan will be worried when she sees you later.”
“Nanan is still so young, so how would she know about this sort of thing?” Yuan Niang was amused by Lin Suisui and she lowered her eyes in embarrassment as she muttered in a low voice, “But no matter what, what should we do now that this matter has blown up?”
“Didn’t Constable Liu say that he’s trying his best to find out the truth? Then let’s cooperate with him.” Although this matter seemed troublesome now, Lin Suisui was actually not too worried.
Firstly, a good conscience is a soft pillow. Secondly, Liu Zhong was indeed a capable person. She had already learned a lot about this from Lu Ze.
“We’re just thinking about where to start rectifying the medical profession. Previously, the price of the medicine was indeed high, but they’ve been operating in Cloud Mountain City for many years after all. Even if they’re already at the end of their rope, a starving camel is still bigger than a horse. They still have a chance.
Therefore, we need something else to prove it. This way, we can further convince the people of Cloud Mountain City that those people from the medical association are all despicable people who only care about profit. Only by chasing those quacks out of Cloud Mountain City can they live a peaceful life..”
