"Originally, I asked you to join us to buy a small house in Xiguan City, but now the money has to be used for emergencies. Now buying a field is considered an investment, and the land at home is half of yours." Bai Banxia quickly accepted it.
Money, for fear that he would regret it.
Qi Zhen laughed, "Half is too much. Just take care of the food. I have a big appetite and eat a lot."
Bai Banxia raised her eyebrows and said, "Don't go into business partnership with outsiders in the future. You will suffer losses if you do this."
"If I don't go, I will partner with you." Qi Zhen smiled, showing his white teeth, and his eyes were particularly bright under the moonlight.
Bai Banxia's heartbeat couldn't help but skip a beat. How could this man be so good-looking? With his appearance, even if the bride price is less, there are still many girls who would be willing to marry him, right?
No, she still couldn't let him save his wife's book.
After returning home, Bai Banxia handed thirty taels of silver to the old man.
The old man took the money and said "Thank you for your hard work" and went back to the house, but when he turned around, Bai Banxia saw the tears in his eyes.
At this moment, she almost couldn't help but tell her grandfather that the fields were not for sale, so that the old man wouldn't be sad.
On the third day, Bai Tian and his wife went to sell the stall, while Bai Banxia and Qi Zhen stayed at home waiting for the Lu family to collect the bill.
Lu Dasheng arrived as promised, but this time he didn't come with a group of men looking fierce, and there was only one kind-looking companion beside him.
Mr. Bai returned the money he had gathered to him and took back the IOU written by Baishui.
After a conversation, Lu Dasheng said that his hometown is also in the south. During the great disaster, his parents and Lu Wen escaped. He is a relative of Lu Wen and has worked for Lu Wen over the years.
"Dasheng, please apologize to your master for me. I failed to educate my son well and defrauded him of his money. I'm sorry." As we became familiar with him, the old man directly called him by his name.
"Also, I'm old and don't have much work left. I can only help him once. Whatever he does in the future has nothing to do with me, and don't look for other people in my family."
From Baishui's attitude that day, the old man could tell that he had no repentance at all and was completely desperate for him.
"Uncle, don't worry, my husband is kind-hearted. I went back and told him about the situation before, and he asked me to take a look. If you don't get together, just give it a few more days. I will bring your words to you when I get back."
Lu Dasheng said.
"Okay, thank you."
The old man was not in good spirits. After saying a few words, he became a little dazed. Dasheng Lu noticed this and said goodbye and left.
Bai Banxia gave the old man an injection, and asked the aunt to make some decoction, and then rushed to town with Qi Zhen.
The stall's business was still booming. When Bai Tian and Zhang Lingzhi saw the two of them, they knew that the matter was done.
"How is your grandpa?" Bai Tian asked worriedly when he had a chance.
"Don't worry, dad. Grandpa is stronger than we thought. I gave him an injection and asked my aunt to take medicine. He will get better slowly." Bai Banxia comforted him.
But one thing she didn't say was that heart ailments still require heart medicine, and the old man has to think about it. If you can't get over this hurdle in your heart, whether you are sad or angry, it will be difficult for your body to get better.
In the afternoon, Bai Banxia and Qi Zhen went to the county government for training. As soon as they arrived, Zhang Tie told them worriedly: "We have taken Wang Han into custody in the morning and found the doctor, but he can't be found."
"Run away?" Bai Banxia asked.
Zhang Tie shook his head, "Probably not. The doctor's name is Li Shun. He lived in Gongxian Village before and went to other places three months ago. Judging from the situation at his home, there are no signs of fighting. He should not have been silenced, let alone three months ago.
The matter with the former Wang Han did not become a big deal, and there was no need for him to take desperate measures to silence him."
"He didn't tell the neighbors?" Qi Zhen asked.
"I didn't ask anything, but I think someone knows. I sent people to continue the investigation." Zhang Tie said and looked at Bai Banxia, "If Li Shun went to other places, he should be practicing medicine. Maybe the Medical Alliance can have clues.
Does Xia have any acquaintances from the Medical Alliance who might want to know something?"
Bai Banxia thought of Manager Liu from the Medical Alliance and said, "Let me ask."
"Okay, trouble." Zhang Tie said.
Because one-third of the official staff were assigned to run errands today, and the county government was busy recently, the training time was also shortened and ended early.
"Hey, what does this smell like?" Zhang Tonglin asked with a sharp nose and bright eyes.
Bai Banxia laughed, "I asked my father to close the stall and come over with a cart, and spread out some pancakes and fruits for everyone to eat."
Last night, she thought that Qi Zhen had received the monthly silver, and they should treat her as a token of appreciation, so she prepared some more ingredients in advance, and agreed on the time with her parents. The county government training was about the same, and her parents just happened to close the stall and share it for everyone.
Pancakes.
"Oh, we are in for a treat." Zhang Tonglin shouted happily.
Bai Banxia deliberately said: "There are not many ingredients, third cousin and our own family, I won't invite you to eat."
"Ah?" Zhang Tonglin's face fell, "But I just trained so hungry, and I have to run errands later. Cousin, can you bear to do this to me?"
The other officials laughed, obviously teasing him, and he took it seriously.
Zhang Lingzhi quickly brought in pancakes and fruit, including the previous transcripts, which were shared by Zuo Zuo and Mr. Zhou, which was considered as an extra meal for everyone after work.
After everyone finished eating the pancakes and fruits, Bai Banxia asked his parents to go back to the village first, and they went to the Medical Alliance.
Manager Liu saw the two of them looking happy and said, "I also said that someone would go to Baoshan Village to deliver a message to you in the evening, but I didn't expect you to come just now."
"Are we going to close the net?" Bai Banxia asked.
Manager Liu nodded, "Tomorrow afternoon, Xu Guanshan, the vice president of the Northwest Branch of the Medical Alliance, will be here and wants to meet you two."
It can be considered that the medicinal materials discovered by the two of them were fake, so it was normal for the vice president of the Northwest Branch to want to see them.
Bai Banxia and Qi Zhen looked at each other and both stopped.
Manager Liu was a little worried and said: "However, Vice Chairman Xu wrote in a letter and confessed that he did not want the government to know about the medical alliance, and he did not agree to report it to the government for fear of affecting the reputation of the medical alliance."
"It's up to you, this is your internal matter." Qi Zhen said with a cold face.
Bai Banxia then mentioned the government's pursuit of Li Shun and asked Manager Liu to check through the Medical Alliance to see if there were any clues.
"Okay, I will arrange for someone to go check it out and inform you immediately if there is any news. Also, I will trouble you to make another trip tomorrow." Manager Liu bowed politely and said.
The two said goodbye and left the town. Bai Banxia lowered his face and said, "You want to get together with me, right? That vice president wants to make a big deal out of a big deal."
Qi Zhen nodded, "After all, so many medicines have been sold. The more expensive the medicines are, the more they are sold to wealthy families. The medical alliance will have enough trouble if it causes trouble."
Bai Banxia snorted coldly, "This is nothing more than looking at the medical alliance. If something like this happened, it must be an oversight in management. We should consider how to put an end to it in the future and withdraw the problematic counterfeit medicines, instead of covering up and concealing it for the so-called reputation."
"After all, I'm a bit short-sighted," Qi Zhen said.
Bai Banxia nodded. She heard that the Medical Alliance would select outstanding talents to join, but from this incident, she was no longer interested in the Medical Alliance.
