Who understands? I took the library with me to farm

Chapter 59 The Broken Bones of Baicaotang

"You and I are very similar in character and have similar interests. I already regard you as my sister in my heart. If you have any questions, just tell me. If you can help me, I will be happy."

Huang Zhiyi leaned over to inquire. She wore a thin veil all day long, so her expression could not be seen clearly. All she could see was the eagerness in her eyes.

She is a literary and artistic girl from Dayan who loves and cherishes talents. She has the same artistic taste as He Miao and they are easy to chat with.

She felt that the free and easy woman in front of her was different from the sisters around her, so she naturally felt a special feeling of admiration.

After all, He Miao's friendship with Huang Zhiyi was still shallow, and just because he spoke so eagerly did not mean that he could really help, so he hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Sister, the last time I came here, I saw you drinking medicine. At that time, Bi'er made a special detour to Baicao Hall to get the medicine. I wonder if sister can talk to the medicine shop owner?"

He Miao had no available connections in the town. Huang Yuanwai's daughter was the first upper-class person she made friends with. Now, she was the only one she could think of turning to for help.

Not sure if it will work, so I can only speak boldly and take a gamble.

Unexpectedly, Huang Zhiyi laughed calmly after hearing this.

"What did I think it was that made my sister hesitate? You have found the right person for this matter!"

"My father is one of the owners of Baicao Hall. Uncle Bai, who is in charge of the counter, has a good personal relationship with my family. I suffer from a hidden disease and take medicine all the year round. Bi'er is also a frequent visitor to Baicao Hall."

That would be easy!
  When He Miao told Huang Zhiyi what was in her mind, the other party immediately nodded and sent Bi'er to lead her to Baicao Hall in person.

After entering the drug store, Bi'er negotiated directly with shopkeeper Bai.

Shopkeeper Bai immediately said: "You two girls, please move to the back hall, where we can talk more conveniently."

After sitting down in the back hall, Bi'er told her needs again. Shopkeeper Bai glanced at He Miao next to Bi'er, showing a look of embarrassment.

"Shopkeeper Bai, don't worry. This girl is my lady's best friend. Her identity is innocent and she has her as guarantor. Don't you still believe it?"

This girl Bi'er was not given for free. As soon as she said a few powerful words, Shopkeeper Bai's face suddenly changed.

"Since Miss Bi'er said this, that's what Miss Huang meant. I don't dare to neglect it. The account book is here. Please look through it at will."

He took out the account book and offered it with both hands.

He Miao sat aside and waited, thinking that "there is someone in the court who is easy to do." She took the account book, thanked the shopkeeper, and began to look at it intently.

What she asked Huang Zhiyi for help was to ask the shopkeeper of Baicaotang to show her yesterday's transaction records.

The transaction records in the drug store are all recorded in the account book, and it may cause adverse consequences if unrelated people read it.

If it weren't for the owner's daughter as a guarantee, shopkeeper Bai would never dare to do this. He sat aside and invited Bi'er to drink tea, while he rubbed his hands, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

Baicaotang is the largest drugstore in the town, with a huge daily transaction volume. Yesterday's bill alone was ten pages long.

It can be seen that no matter what dynasty or place, people’s consumption of medicine is inevitable.

It is now a hot summer, and not many people suffer from tinea manuum. Wang Cuimei is an occupational disease and suffers from it all year round, so there are not many sales of Songyin Fengxian Cream on the books.

He Miao quickly found out a piece of information. In addition to Songyin Fengxian Ointment, the account at that time also included another medicine called "Broken Bone". The name of this medicine makes people feel frightened and panicked.

"Shopkeeper Bai, please ask, what does this medicine cure?" Shopkeeper Bai looked down, and a trace of imperceptible embarrassment flashed across his face.

"This medicine is for women...the medicine for abortion."

"Having a miscarriage? Then the same person purchased the medicine and Songyin Fengxian Ointment in the account book?" He Miao was shocked, but she didn't expect there would be an "unexpected gain"!
  "Well, that's not wrong. Small shops have this kind of bookkeeping habit. After all, they sell things that cure diseases and save lives. The medicines bought by the same person are recorded in a separate place to facilitate suggestions on how to take them and avoid mutual conflict. Furthermore, leave a Fundamentally, once something happens, it’s easy to verify.”

Shopkeeper Bai said with certainty.

"Thank you, shopkeeper Bai. I just don't know if you still remember what the person who bought these two medicines looked like yesterday?"

He Miao also wanted to confirm again whether the person who bought Fengxian Cream yesterday was Feng Qinkui.

"Excuse me for being weak-minded. Yesterday, the clerk at the front store was Lu Dantou, the store clerk. He is not on duty today. He is probably drinking old wine somewhere."

Bi'er was a smart girl, and she understood what shopkeeper Bai meant. After all, revealing the account information was already touching the bottom line of the medicine shop shopkeeper. Now that he was asking about the identity of the customer, he would definitely have to make excuses and refuse.

You must know that the pharmacy industry has unwritten iron laws and strict rules. You must not disclose patient information. This is against the ethics of medical practitioners.

She knew that her young lady was close to Miss He, and she had to help Miss He solve all the problems. Otherwise, where would her boss's face be?

"Shopkeeper Bai, where is Braised Dantou? Please come find him. We have plenty of time. We'll wait for him here."

"Miss Bi'er, you know pretty much what you need to know. There's no need to bother Shopkeeper Bai anymore." He Miao knew that any industry has its own rules, and they couldn't be broken casually just because of this little thing in her family, so she whispered to Bi'er. .

Unexpectedly, Bi'er refused to give up.

"Miss He, that can't be done. Since my young lady has promised you, this matter must be done. If we don't see Lu Dantou today, we won't leave."

When this little girl throws a tantrum, most people can't stand it.

Shopkeeper Bai didn't do anything, so he personally went to find the waiter Lu Dantou and interrogated him.

Braised Dantou is young, bald, and dark-skinned. He really does look like a braised egg.

He didn't look very smart. He scratched his bald head and rolled his eyelids trying to remember.

"Yesterday, did you come to buy a hand ringworm ointment? There was indeed one. Because not many people bought this ointment recently, it was placed on the top shelf. I even stepped on a small stool to find it, but as for who... I I really can’t remember clearly.”

He Miao decided to give some guidance: "Brother Lu Dantou, think about whether this man is a middle-aged man, about the same height as the shopkeeper, and has a strong build."

Lu Dantou shook his head: "There were so many people buying medicine yesterday. I was so busy that my sweat dropped to the floor and I couldn't remember who it was!"

He Miao had no choice but to go back and investigate again.

The reason why she is obsessed with seeking proof is actually because deep down in her heart she cannot believe that her father-in-law Feng Qinkui could be so careless, cheat on her, and even make Widow Wang pregnant!
  He Miao had also been a widow who had been divorced for two years. She knew the embarrassment of such a status. Men stared at her all day long, trying to find a way through; women also stared at her, trying to find something dirty. Dirty things are used as conversation topics.

Wang Cuimei is a very smart person. There has been no rumors in the village for so many years. She must have hidden it deeply. Why did she slip up now?

She refused to give up and wanted to figure out the whole story, and finally asked: "Maybe, the smell? Do you smell the strong smell of rust and fireworks on anyone?"
