Need for money

Hearing the master's question, Zhidong didn't dare to hide it, so she said that the day before yesterday when she went to deliver pills to Jishengtang two hours earlier than usual, she happened to meet Zhou Ding's son Zhou Bao, sitting in the pharmacy, holding a He smirked at a lot of money, and said it in detail.

Tang Yuxiang's eyes flashed with surprise when he heard the words, and then he frowned in thought. The meaning of Zhidong's words was very simple. The amount of money recovered from the hall is not bad, and she is not a fool. She once asked Zhidong to ask the refugees near Jisheng Hall, and she knew that Zhou Ding did sell the pills at the price she set.

"It should be their own money." Tang Yuxiang said uncertainly.

Zhidong is not sure that the Zhou family must have been greedy for money from the pharmacy, but there are indeed many doubts here, "This is not certain, I think Zhou Ding gave the pharmacy to him because he had no money to redeem his son. You, where did their family get so much money now? And let a bad rogue hold it."

Seeing that Zhidong mentioned that Zhou Bao, Tang Yuxiang was indignant, and Tang Yuxiang was puzzled. Did this Zhou Bao offend Zhidong?

Probably not, Zhou Ding is a kind-hearted person, and he doesn’t know what will happen if he gets angry. Now that there is a locust plague in the north and refugees are everywhere, if he is wronged because of Zhidong , Really kicked his whole family out of the pharmacy, where will they live in the future?

Without a stable income, their money would be exhausted sooner or later. Now the price of food has more than tripled. By then, their whole family will starve to death.

Recalling the scene when Zhou Ding gave the poor people medical treatment for free, Tang Yuxiang felt that the Zhou family would not embezzle money from the pharmacy, and said: "Although that is said, we have no evidence to prove that the Zhou family has corrupted us. of silver."

Thinking of Zhou Bao staring at her lecherously, Zhidong felt furious, but a daughter like her was too embarrassed to tell the master about this kind of thing, and the master was right, she did not have any real evidence in her hands, but She really hated that Zhou Bao, she rolled her eyes slightly, and said, "Second Mistress is very true, but the Zhou family gave out so much money for no reason, it may not be clean, otherwise, The servant girl will go to the entrance of Jishengtang to stay a little longer today, to see if I can find out some clues."

Tang Yuxiang didn't want to agree at first, because it's wrong to doubt people for no reason, but she couldn't stand Zhidong's entanglement.

Zhidong really hates that Zhou Bao very much now, thinking that if he can get hold of the Zhou family, it means that Zhou Ding also has a problem with his character, and if he kicks out their whole family by then, he won't have to face that hateful man again. Become an apprentice.

Because of Zhou Bao's relationship, Zhidong now also feels a certain amount of disgust towards Zhou Ding and his wife, who don't control their son well.

Seeing that Zhidong had made up his mind to investigate, Tang Yuxiang agreed, "Okay, you can stay there and investigate, so that we can rest assured, but you should be more careful after you leave the mansion. There are too many refugees, the law and order are chaotic, and accidents are easy to happen.”

"Second Mistress, don't worry, this servant knows." Zhidong responded, and then ran into her hut in a gust of wind. Seeing this, Tang Yuxiang smiled slightly. She was really a little maid. Come on, after all, I am still a little impatient.

Zhidong changed into clean and decent clothes, and walked towards the back door of the Lin Mansion, because she had been out of the mansion many times, she was already very familiar with the guards at the back door.

"Hey, isn't this sister Zhidong? Why, you're going out of the house again today?" The young guard at the door on the left saw that Zhidong came out with a bamboo basket, and asked with a smile.

Zhidong patted the bamboo basket on his hand, nodded and said: "Yes, Second Mistress is going to make medicinal food for Second Master, and there are still a few traditional Chinese medicines left, so tell me to go outside the house to buy some."

"It's a big deal to make up for the second master. The villain will open the door for you." The back door is different from the front door. The front door will open as soon as it is light in the daytime, and then two guards will stand on the left and right, while the back door is usually closed. It is closed. After the guard finished speaking, he walked towards the gate with another companion.

"Sister Zhidong, the law and order in the city is not very good recently. I heard people say that accidents happen every day. Do you want me to follow you to protect your safety?" said the previous guard while pushing the door open.

Speaking of which, this guard was a bit older than Zhidong, but Zhidong was the second-in-law's personal maid, and although she had no status, she was still the woman of the head of the house, so he politely called her elder sister.

Zhidong also knows that there are too many refugees in the city, and she is prone to accidents when she is a little maid, but what she wants to do is too hidden and cannot be known by outsiders, so it is not easy for the guards in the mansion to follow.

After a few polite words with the two guards, she walked out of the back door. Although this is the back door of the Lin family, the two dark doors combined are nearly four meters wide.

After leaving the Lin residence, Zhidong went straight to Jishengtang.

Zhou Ding was the same as usual today, sitting in the lobby to diagnose the refugees, while Zhou Bao was sitting at the counter, waiting for the fat fish to take the bait. Speaking of which, the idea he thought of was really good, and it took only a few days. I made more than 100 taels of silver from rich people.

However, after experiencing the excitement of earning money by himself at first, he now began to miss the sisters in the brothel, but these days, Zhou Ding was so tight that he couldn't find time to sneak out to play.

Following the sound of the bamboo curtain at the door, Zhidong walked in with a bamboo basket. Even if she wanted to investigate Zhou's house, she had to put down the pills in the basket first.

"The girl is here? Please sit inside." Zhou Ding was worried that there were too many patients today, and the pills were almost sold out, so he saw Zhidong came to deliver the medicine, so he stood up quickly and followed Zhidong to the back room.

Because Zhidong wants to keep his identity secret, every time he comes, he will give him the pills in the back room, and by the way, collect the money from selling the medicine yesterday.

"Mr. Zhou, I see that Jishengtang's business is getting better and better." Zhidong came to the back room, sat on a chair, and said.

Zhou Ding nodded, and responded with a smile, "Yes, the number of refugees in Los Angeles is increasing day by day. I heard that there are [-] to [-]. The pills sent by the girl are not only curative, but also very cheap. Naturally, the business is getting better and better. It's getting better."

After all, Zhou Ding took out the ledger and handed it to Zhidong.

Because the total number of pills is known in Zhidong's mind, she just flipped through the ledger, then closed it, and twitched her chin in the direction of the inner room door, and asked in a low voice, "The steward sent by the Lin family, Didn't the pharmacy cause trouble?"

A few days ago, Zhidong heard from Zhou Ding that the Lin family was going to cooperate with Jishengtang. At that time, she was shocked, but fortunately, the second master was selected from the managers who do business outside the mansion. She does the bookkeeping by herself and doesn't know her, the little girl in the mansion.

"No, that steward is only responsible for keeping records and making accounts, and he doesn't even say a few words on weekdays." Knowing his identity, Zhou Ding was afraid that the other party would bully others at first, but after getting along for a few days, he found that the steward of the Lin family didn't like things. He speaks well and has a good personality, so he is relieved.

"Well, it's good if you don't add trouble to the small shop." Zhidong said, lifted the cotton cloth covering the bamboo basket, and took out all the porcelain bottles containing the pills. Zhou Ding stepped forward, counted the number, and then called I got a receipt.

Because many refugees only bought pills for one or two meals, and did not want to buy porcelain bottles, Zhou Ding helped to pack the empty bottles into bamboo baskets so that they could be taken back for reuse.

"Girl, I sold a total of 18 taels of silver yesterday. The villain will go get it for you now." After Zhou Ding finished speaking, he was about to go to the lobby to get the silver, but Zhidong said after hearing the words: "No, I have something to do today." If you do it, you won’t take money, otherwise it’s not safe to go on the street.”

"Oh? Girl, do you have something to do? Do you want to stay with you and protect your safety?" Just as Zhidong finished speaking, someone lifted the bamboo curtain hanging at the door of the inner room. Then, she Then I saw Zhou Bao's disgusting face.
