Chapter 39

Who would leave scraps of cloth on the road for no reason? It was probably these two who had some weird good luck, and Zhou Jiaojiao wanted to trick her into taking the blame!

Bai Xiuxiu thought to herself, but put on a surprised expression: “Really? That’s great! Fifth son’s wife, go quickly! Mom and I will handle the medicinal herbs. You take the things and don’t let anyone get them before you. Why didn’t you just stay there?

Why did you have to come with us?”

Zhou Jiaojiao was speechless after being rebuked by Bai Xiuxiu. She was also puzzled.

What was going on? Bai Xiuxiu wasn’t interested in the scraps of cloth?

Zhao Guifen, standing beside her, secretly cursed her fifth son’s wife for being meddlesome. Why did she have to bring it up?

What would they do if there were no scraps of cloth when they went back?

“What are you standing there for? Go quickly.” Bai Xiuxiu looked at her and urged.

Zhou Jiaojiao was caught between a rock and a hard place. She awkwardly looked at her mother-in-law for help.

“Alright, it’s not that far. Let’s take care of the important things first. We’ll get them later.” Zhao Guifen said with a dark face, trying to cover up the matter.

“How can that be?” Bai Xiuxiu laughed. It was impossible for her to let these two off the hook!

She looked at Zhou Jiaojiao: “Fifth son’s wife, if this big package of scraps of cloth is lost, you’re fully responsible! Mom is old and her mind isn’t as sharp, so she doesn’t care about the scraps of cloth. But you’re young, how can you be so careless and come to the city? If the scraps of cloth are gone when we go back, you’ll have to find a way to compensate the family!

This found money is a windfall, and it needs to be divided among the brothers.”

Zhou Jiaojiao was so angry that she wanted to curse. Was Bai Xiuxiu shameless?

There were no scraps of cloth!

She had just made it up, and Bai Xiuxiu was still holding onto it?

What to do?

Zhou Jiaojiao was anxious. Bai Xiuxiu didn’t care. She glanced at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law: “Let’s go into the pharmacy first. After selling the medicinal herbs, we’ll go get them quickly. If they’re gone, it’s all the fifth son’s wife’s fault.”

Then she went inside.

“Mom…” Zhou Jiaojiao was so wronged.

Zhao Guifen rolled her eyes at her: “Who told you to be so talkative? Figure it out yourself! Go in.”

The three of them entered the pharmacy.

Behind the rehabilitation pharmacy was the rehabilitation hospital.

This was the largest pharmacy in the county.

As soon as they entered, Zhao Guifen became nervous. She rarely came to the county, and everything seemed unfamiliar.

Zhou Jiaojiao was preoccupied with the scraps of cloth.

The person manning the pharmacy was a middle-aged man wearing glasses and a crew cut.

His white coat made him look very energetic.

Doctor Zheng was a CHINESE doctor at the rehabilitation hospital. It was his turn to work today. He saw the three adults and two children who entered the room, as well as the bags in the hands of the two people behind them.

He guessed that they were here to sell medicinal herbs.

Of the three adults, the one who brought the two children in first was dressed neatly, and the children were also well-kept.

They must be residents of the county, and the two behind them were probably their relatives, here to sell medicinal herbs?

Doctor Zheng made a random guess.

“Doctor, do you buy medicinal herbs here?” Bai Xiuxiu spoke first.

Zhou Jiaojiao, not wanting to fall behind, quickly said: “I found some medicinal herbs in the mountains. Doctor, can you take a look?”

“Okay, we have a price list for buying medicinal herbs. You can take a look.” Doctor Zheng handed the price list to Bai Xiuxiu.

Zhou Jiaojiao’s face immediately turned ugly: “Is there another price list?”

“Is one not enough for you two to look at?” Doctor Zheng was confused.

What was wrong with this person?

How could two people not be able to share one price list?

Zhou Jiaojiao: …

Bai Xiuxiu quickly scanned the prices of all the medicinal herbs on the list, memorized them, and then returned the price list to Doctor Zheng.

Seeing this, Zhou Jiaojiao’s smile almost disappeared: “I haven’t finished looking yet. Doctor, can you let me see it too?”

Doctor Zheng was unhappy, but he still gave her the list: “The price at the rehabilitation pharmacy is the standard for the entire county. I have a proper job, I won’t cheat you. You don’t have to look at it all.”

Zhou Jiaojiao’s face turned red, but she just didn’t want to lose to Bai Xiuxiu!

After looking at it, Zhou Jiaojiao’s heart was set ablaze.

The things she brought this time would sell for a lot of money.

She just had to share it with Bai Xiuxiu, to make her feel disgusted!

“Doctor, these are our medicinal herbs.” Zhou Jiaojiao, ahead of Bai Xiuxiu, took out their medicinal herbs.

She looked proud, as if she were giving them to the doctor for free, as if she were superior.

Bai Xiuxiu watched coldly, holding her two children away from Zhou Jiaojiao.

She already knew the prices of these medicinal herbs. She would have Wang Qinghe sell them at another pharmacy later, so he wouldn’t be cheated. It would save a lot of trouble!

Her angelica in the space was ready to be harvested, but the ginseng wasn’t ready yet.

But that large patch of angelica alone was enough for her and Wang Qinghe to live a good life.

Thinking about how her space was stolen by Zhou Jiaojiao in her last life, and how Zhou Jiaojiao used it to bully Wang Qinghe, Bai Xiuxiu got angry.

Doctor Zheng checked the things they brought and weighed them in front of them: “Thirteen pounds of Wolf berries. Your Wolf berries are wet, so I can only give you three cent per pounds. That price is already pretty good! That’s a total of three yuan and nine cent.

As for these angelica, there are thirty-seven and a half pounds, so that’s thirty-seven yuan and fifty cent.

Lingzhi… the lingzhi you brought are of good quality. I can give you two yuan per piece. That’s a total of thirty-two yuan.

See if this price works for you. If it does, I’ll write you a receipt. If not, you can take your things to another place and ask.”

Doctor Zheng maintained the same attitude.

Selling these things to them wouldn’t give him any extra commission.

They all had fixed salaries, so he didn’t care about anything else.

Zhao Guifen hadn’t dared to speak since entering the room. Hearing how much money they would get, she was incredibly excited.

Zhou Jiaojiao was also excited, but thinking about how the doctor’s attitude wasn’t very good from beginning to end, she felt a little uncomfortable.

Thinking about it, she looked at Doctor Zheng: “We brought a lot of things, can’t you give us a higher price?”

“This is the hospital’s regulation. If I give you a higher price, I’ll have to pay for it myself. You can sell these things or not.” Doctor Zheng sat back down at the counter impatiently.

“Sell…” Zhou Jiaojiao said with a grievance.

“A total of fifty-three yuan and four cent. Our hospital doesn’t exchange tickets.” Doctor Zheng said, handing them the money.

Seeing so much money, Zhao Guifen started calculating how much she would have to give to the eldest son’s family when they got home, and she felt a little uncomfortable.

As they left the pharmacy, Bai Xiuxiu slowly spoke: “Don’t just stand there, go get the scraps of cloth quickly. Fifth son’s wife, what are you still standing there for?”

Zhou Jiaojiao was almost furious. How could there be someone as disgusting as Bai Xiuxiu?

But thinking about how if she was lucky on the way back, Bai Xiuxiu might be unlucky, Zhou Jiaojiao felt it wasn’t so unbearable: “Sister-in-law, you’re right, let’s go.”

On the way, Bai Xiuxiu held her two children, while Zhou Jiaojiao and Zhao Guifen walked in front.

Suddenly, they heard someone shouting from behind: “Move aside, move aside! My bicycle broke!”
