The old lady decisively took out the ten-dollar card and handed it to Jiang Yue: "Is it enough? If not, I will give it to you again!"

With that said, he went to get the money again.

Jiang Yue quickly held her hand: "Grandma, you don't need to give me money. I have money. Just treat these as my thoughts."

"That won't work, that won't work!"

Grandma insisted on giving it to him.

Seeing this, Yang Mi quickly came over and changed the subject: "Grandma, let's eat first, otherwise the food will get cold in a while."

"well!"

This diverted the old man's attention away.

When eating, grandma only served vegetables and left all the meat to Jiang Yue and the others.

Fortunately, Yang Mi and the others coaxed and lied, so grandma dared to use her chopsticks.

During the meal, no matter how Jiang Yue and the others inquired, grandma kept silent about her family and the situation at home.

I originally thought that the weather might rain all night, but unexpectedly, at five o'clock, it cleared up.

It stopped raining and grandma insisted on going back.

Jiang Yue happened to want to see where this grandma lived, so he drove her back.

Leaving the city, the car drove towards the suburbs.

When passing by the entrance of a village, grandma suddenly said: "Put me down right here!"

"What's wrong, grandma, are you home yet?" Yang Mi stopped her.

"Just send it here, I'm really going to cause you trouble this time!"

Grandma clasped her hands together and kept bowing her head to say thank you.

"Anyway, we have a car. It's convenient, so let us take you to your door!" Yang Mi insisted.

But the old lady kept shaking her head, unwilling to trouble Yang Mi and the others anymore.

Seeing this, Jiang Yue could only park on the side of the road.

"Then we will send it here. Grandma, please go back slowly."

"Okay, thank you."

Grandma had been standing there watching Jiang Yue and the others' car leave, then turned around and left.

As a result, just as grandma left, Jiang Yue's car came around again.

They stopped where they were and watched their grandma walk into a pharmacy at the entrance of a suburban village. Then they got out of the car and followed her secretly.

Grandma walked into the drugstore and went straight to the counter.

"Girl, I'm here to buy painkillers."

The clerk stood up and said, "There are a lot of painkillers. Where do you feel the pain? What price do you want?"

"Just the cheapest one."

Grandma didn't even think about it, she just said she wanted the cheapest one and at the same time took out the wad of loose money from her pocket.

"The cheapest one? Seventy-nine yuan."

The clerk took a box and placed it on the counter.

seventy-nine? !

Grandma's movement of counting money immediately stopped.

"Didn't you tell me about the cheapest twenty-two yuan before? Look at me, I have been saving for several months, picking up garbage and selling scraps. I finally saved up to twenty-two yuan. Why is it seventy-nine yuan again? This is too expensive!”

Grandma was holding the loose money one by one, a little at a loss, and her voice became lower and lower.

But the clerk could still hear him clearly.

The clerk retorted unceremoniously:

"Why is it so expensive? I've been selling here for so long and it's always been this price! Old man, don't talk nonsense with your eyes open. It's hard to do business now. If you talk nonsense here, I won't be able to open the door for business in the future. Already?"

"The reason why this painkiller is so expensive must be because it is very effective. Those cheap medicines still don't work if you take them, and if you buy them, you will pay for them in vain, but this seventy-nine medicine is guaranteed to be effective!"

"And based on the current price of medicine, seventy-nine is not expensive at all! If you can't even afford this, old man, why don't you find the reason on your own? Look, it's because you didn't pay alimony to your son and daughter. Is it in place, or is your retirement salary not high enough?”

Although Jiang Yue and the others did not enter the store, they could still hear clearly while standing outside.

Even the audience in the live broadcast room heard every word.

[Child support? retirement pay? This woman must be sick, every word she says pokes holes in people's hearts. 】

[Young man, who said seventy-nine yuan of painkillers are not expensive? I worked overtime until I had a fever, and I couldn’t bear to buy a box of twenty yuan of ibuprofen! 】

[I was so angry right now! 】

[It’s expensive in the first place, but people don’t say it, and people find their own reasons for it. Are all service salespeople today so stupid? 】

[Everyone is working hard. In order to survive, this grandma has already picked up rotten, smelly food to eat, and then sold scraps to save money to buy medicine. Why don't people work hard? 】

"If you had worked harder when you were young, you wouldn't have been able to afford seventy-nine yuan of painkillers now!"

The clerk became more and more arrogant as he talked. He did not hide the ridicule and disdain on his face as he was just an old lady who didn't even dare to speak loudly.

Looking up, the clerk saw a man and two women walking into the store. This combination of handsome men and beautiful women made her immediately put on a professional smile.

Unfortunately, just as he was about to open his mouth, he was slapped in the face by the opponent.

"You work hard, then why are you still living in the countryside here in the suburbs as a clerk with a monthly salary of less than 3,000 yuan when you are middle-aged? Why don't you open your own pharmacy and be the boss?"

"You open your mouth and sell medicine for seventy-nine yuan, which is obviously less than ten yuan. If you can't afford it, you say it's because others don't work hard enough. Don't you see that she is just an old man? How can she still work hard? Picking up garbage, Selling scraps and working hard to live, isn’t this considered hard work?”

"Seventy-nine is not expensive? How many boxes of seventy-nine medicine can you afford if you work here for a month and your salary is enough?"

Jiang Yue protected his grandma behind him and directly pointed at the clerk and scolded him.

He picked up the medicine the clerk had just given to his grandma from the counter, "This is the painkiller you sold for seventy-nine, right?"

He took photos and searched online for prices.

"The official price of this box of medicine is eighty-nine yuan. No pharmacy can raise the price of medicines casually. You actually raised the price of medicines by nearly ten times. It can be seen that you are not only hard-working, but also bold!"

When the clerk saw Jiang Yue taking away the medicine, he immediately became defensive: "What do you want to do?"
