"I'm afraid you can't see clearly." Bai Tian saw that his daughter's nose was turned red by the cold wind, and he hurriedly closed the window and closed the door again, leaving only a crack.
When Bai Tian went to the backyard to practice boxing, Bai Banxia couldn't help but mutter, "Why is my dad so weird?"
Qi Zhen laughed and said, "Uncle doesn't like me being alone with you."
"Ah?" Bai Banxia was puzzled, "Why?"
Qi Zhen shook his head helplessly, "You are really ignorant."
"What's going on?" Bai Banxia was even more puzzled.
"It's nothing, your butterfly pattern is crooked." He reminded with a smile.
"Ah!" Bai Banxia whispered, and hurriedly removed the crooked gold thread and sewed it again. With this interruption, she no longer dwelled on the previous problem.
Winding the wire in Qizhen is not too difficult, it just requires dexterity of the fingers, uniform strength, and the same tightness of the winding, so that when the wire is pulled out, the wound area can be even and beautiful.
So far, it seems that he is doing pretty well and has become proficient quickly, saving Bai Banxia a lot of effort.
The next day, Bai Banxia's family ran their stall as usual. When they arrived in the town, they found that Li's Pharmacy had been closed down. Many people were discussing the fact that Li's Pharmacy was selling counterfeit medicines. People queuing up to buy pancakes and fruits started chatting.
"I have bought medicines from him, and I have never encountered fake medicines. They are a bit more expensive."
"That's because you were lucky and didn't encounter it. If it did, you might not be able to stand here."
"I heard that his fake medicines are all expensive medicinal materials. How can we ordinary people afford them?"
"Hey, aren't all the rich people being deceived? They deserve it. Those rich people are willing to take advantage of them. This way it shows that the Li family didn't deceive us ordinary people. It's not too bad."
I don't know why, but some people have this argument, and some people actually agree with it, and even say that Li's Pharmacy defrauded those rich locals as a righteous act.
Bai Banxia really couldn't stand listening anymore. No matter what era, there are always people who are prone to have a feeling of hatred against the rich, but this hatred of the rich cannot become a matter of not distinguishing between right and wrong.
"I've also heard that counterfeiting is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and there is no profit from counterfeiting ordinary-priced medicinal materials. It's not that Li's Pharmacy can't bear to deceive the poor," she said.
A word that wakes up the dreamer, yes, how can you make money by counterfeiting medicinal materials worth tens of dollars or a hundred dollars?
Bai Banxia continued: "For example, if an ordinary family is waiting for wild ginseng to save their life, and finally borrows enough money to buy a fake one, but the family members are not saved, do you think they are unfair?"
Many people nodded, that was really tragic.
"Even if those who buy expensive medicinal materials are rich people, rich people also have parents, wives and children, and there are times when they need medicinal materials to save their lives. You can't deserve to be deceived just because you have money, right? So no matter who the Li Family Pharmacy sells the counterfeit medicines to,
Counterfeit medicines are a completely unscrupulous act!”
At this time, someone suddenly shouted: "Oh my god, when I say this, I think of my neighbor who borrowed money from everywhere to buy ginseng for his father to die last year, but..."
He sighed and shook his head, "No, I have to remind him that the ginseng root he bought was at Li's Pharmacy. It might be a fake medicine. Let him report it to the county government as soon as possible."
This person stopped queuing and left in a hurry.
For a moment, everyone was sighing, and Bai Banxia was also a little bit embarrassed. She was just giving an example, and there were similar situations.
Two generations of Li's Pharmacy have been cheating. It has been open for decades and it has harmed many customers.
Now, people who had hated the rich before and thought it was a great pleasure for Li's Pharmacy to sell fake medicines to the rich have calmed down and reflected on the fact that they were indeed extreme.
"Panxia!" He Yunlan and Du Hui waved to her not far away.
Bai Banxia responded hurriedly and ran over.
"Why are you here?"
He Yunlan smiled and said: "We arrived just now, but we didn't want to interrupt you."
"What you said is very good. Selling counterfeit medicine is a felony, no matter who he sells to." Du Hui also agreed.
Bai Banxia laughed, "So I said, they also think Qiu Fu's words are unreasonable."
"Are you busy right now? We would like to meet you for tea and a chat." He Yunlan asked.
Bai Banxia looked back and saw that there were not too many guests. Zhang Lingzhi also heard it and waved to them: "No need to help here, you can go and have fun."
Bai Banxia looked at Qi Zhen, "Then I'll go and help my parents more."
"Okay." Qi Zhen agreed.
The three of them left together, but He Yunlan couldn't help but snicker. Bai Banxia asked strangely: "Yunlan, what are you laughing at?"
"You and your cousin have a good relationship." He Yunlan teased her.
"Then don't you have a good relationship with your cousin?" Bai Banxia thought of the little fat man, "Have you seen Chu Yuan recently? He has grown taller and lost some weight. I really can't call him little fat man anymore."
He Yunlan thought she was changing the subject, and her smile became even stronger, "How is that the same? Xiaohui, don't you think so?"
Du Hui nodded and said seriously: "Well, Banxia's cousin is much prettier than your cousin."
Pfft, both Bai Banxia and He Yunlan laughed. Du Hui was too direct.
"If Chu Yuan heard this, he would be sad for several days." He Yunlan said with a smile.
"I'm afraid the little fat guy is going to ask me for some medicine to make him handsome." Bai Banxia also said.
The three of them chatted and laughed and went to the teahouse, ordered tea and snacks, and sat down to chat.
He Yunlan mentioned the Wu family case. Her family's shop there was implicated, so she went to Ping'an Town for a while.
"Speaking of which, I was also involved in that case, but because of the investigation, I couldn't communicate with you in private." Bai Banxia said a little embarrassed.
He Yunlan was slightly surprised, then patted Bai Banxia's hand and said: "It's okay not to remind you. We are doing business seriously. Even if something goes wrong, we should take warning and take more precautions in the future to prevent such things from happening.
."
Bai Banxia admires her open-mindedness and attitude towards business. If Brother Erlang can marry such a wife, he will really be blessed in several lifetimes.
Du Hui also mentioned Miss Wu's family, saying that the marriage had not been finalized and she had already left for the capital to join her relatives.
Only Bai Banxia knew that it was not that the marriage was not concluded, but that Miss Wu gave up the marriage and went to the capital, or in other words, went to the wedding.
The three of them were chatting and laughing when the maid outside suddenly came to report that Miss Qi's family wanted to see them.
"Invite her in." He Yunlan responded.
The door to the private room was opened, and Qi Xueer walked in and blessed the three of them.
"I happened to be drinking tea next door and recognized Miss He's maid, so I took the liberty to come over and say hello," she said with a smile.
She was still wearing heavy clothes today, but fortunately it was already the twelfth lunar month of winter, so she didn't look too abrupt. However, her face looked better than before, not so pale.
He Yunlan welcomed her and sat down, "Meeting her is fate. There were so many people that day that I couldn't ask you. We happened to meet her today, so why not let Banxia help you take a look."
Bai Banxia also had this intention, thinking about how to mention Qi Zhen so that it would not be too abrupt.
