"How is it possible to report to the official?"

The ladies said in unison.

"I will give up after paying fifty taels of silver."

When this matter was mentioned again, everyone couldn't help but sigh.

Treating human life as nothing, this is the first time Jiang Li has seen it since she came here.

What we encountered on the road to escape was due to natural disasters rather than man-made disasters. More people died, but those were things that could not be helped and were of different natures.

Not long after that, the ladies changed the subject and started chatting about other parents' personal affairs.

"Auntie, did Mr. Duan come yesterday?"

Jiang Lei was asking about Duan Yuanzhou's whereabouts.

The shopkeeper's voice rang out, "Miss Jiang Li, why are you here so early? Do you have anything to do with our boss?"

"You can be here, but it's not necessary that Mr. Duan is here."

Jiang Li stood up and faced the shopkeeper and said: "I heard Mr. Duan say that the hot pot base in the shop is going to be used up a while ago. Shopkeeper, please see if you can send someone there. A caravan selling spices came over yesterday."

"Of course it's no problem!" the shopkeeper said with a smile, and raised his hand to summon two people, "Come out with me."

After asking Jiang Li for her specific address, she asked the waiter to arrange for her to go out.

"Then you sit down first, I'll go out and be back soon."

Nowadays, the restaurant no longer holds banquets, it is no different from a hot pot restaurant, and Jiang Li is almost equal to their second owner.

Therefore, Jiang Li was very free here, and the shopkeeper did not treat her as a guest.

When he was about to cross Jiang Li and go out, the shopkeeper suddenly remembered something and stopped in his tracks.

"Miss Jiang Li, please take a step to speak."

Jiang Li was suspicious for a moment, but still followed the shopkeeper.

"Daqian told me what happened last night. People from the Xu family were inquiring about your identity, but I told the store clerk to remain silent."

The shopkeeper first talked about his private arrangements, and then advised: "You may not know the identity of the Xu family last night, so you must not interfere again later. The most taboo thing for us businessmen is to deal with the government. superior."

The business of the restaurant is not bad, but after getting along with the shopkeeper these days, I also know that the Jiang family also does other small businesses.

From the shopkeeper's point of view, even if the Duan family encounters yesterday's situation, they must think carefully before intervening. It's not that they are afraid of the young master of the Xu family, but whether it will be worthwhile if they intervene.

This price is not high for the Duan family, but for Jiang Li, I am afraid it is not something she can afford.

Jiang Li nodded, "I understand." She won't be tough next time. Even if she wants to save people, she will use another method, such as touching him quietly.

The shopkeeper nodded happily, "Then I'll get busy."

After the shopkeeper left, Jiang Li didn't stay any longer.

Went towards the medical center.

Yesterday, Dr. Lin said that Li Ruzhen, the woman Jiang Li saved last night, would be sent back to the hospital for placement today. Jiang Li had to go and check on the situation.

When he arrived at the hospital, the clerk looked up and saw Jiang Li, so he walked out from behind the counter and said, "Miss Jiang, why are you here so early?"

"Sorry to trouble you last night, I came over to see how the girl was doing? Is she okay?"

While the two were talking, the man took Jiang Li to the backyard.

It was a coincidence that the room Li Ruzhen was placed in was the room where Xie Kui had lived before.

Li Ruzhen had just finished eating the food and the prepared soup brought by the medicine boy. The medicine boy was about to take away the bowls and chopsticks when Jiang Li came in.

"Miss Li, how are you? Do you feel okay?"

Jiang Lei asked.

Li Ruzhen took a sip and said, "It's much better."

"Miss Jiang, thank you for your help yesterday."

Li Ruzhen looked at Jiang Li with wide-eyed expressions of gratitude.

There were so many people watching, but Jiang Li was the only one who extended a helping hand to her. If it weren't for Jiang Li, she didn't dare to think what she would be like now.

Although she doesn't go to the city often, she knows a lot about the Xu family.

Those who are targeted by the young master of the Xu family will either succumb to him and be included in his backyard, or they will rather die than surrender and suffer revenge, either dead or injured.

With her temperament, she would rather live in ruins than live in peace, for fear of ending up badly.

Of course, the current crisis is only temporarily lifted.

Jiang Li shook her head, "It's just a matter of effort."

Li Ruzhen then said: "My injury is not serious. I have things to do at home and I will have to leave later. Miss Jiang, I will definitely repay your kindness when I have the chance."

When she woke up in the morning, Li Ruzhen asked her clerk to help find someone and bring a message to her family.

It's just that the family hasn't come yet, so the medical bills owed to Jiang Li haven't been paid yet.

Seeing that Jiang Li was about to leave, Li Ruzhen couldn't help but feel anxious.

Just as he was in a hurry, people from the Li family arrived.

Li Ruzhen looked at the visitor. Before she could describe the panic and fear she had experienced that day and night, the visitor raised her hand and slapped Li Ruzhen on the face.

Jiang Li was standing not far away, but was caught off guard by the other party's move. She didn't expect that the other party would react like this.

Li Ruzhen's face immediately became red and swollen after being beaten.

"You bitch! You slut, I asked you to go to the city and sell two bundles of firewood. You'd better not see anyone for a whole day and a night!"

An old lady with half a silver hair came. There were two middle-aged men and a woman standing at the door. Seeing this, they did not step forward to stop her.

"You still want us to pay for your medical treatment, you little bitch, are you just trying to be lazy?"

As she said that, the old lady gritted her teeth and fiercely grabbed Li Ruzhen's arms and thighs, pinching and twisting them.

Jiang Li frowned and grabbed the old lady's wrist, "Okay, the medical bills for her injury have not been paid yet. Do you want to make her injury worse and pay more?"

The old lady only thought that Jiang Li was from the medical clinic. When she heard that she wanted to pay, she immediately waved her hand, "Pay? No money! I can't pay a penny. This is a waste of money. Don't even think about it. Pay for it!”

At this time, the waiter couldn't stand it any longer and said, "Are you acting like a fool? After seeing a doctor and taking medicine, you dare not pay me. Then you won't even be able to walk out of this door today."

As he said that, he waved to a little medicine boy in the yard and said: "Aping, go and find the official. He said that someone is cheating and refuses to pay for medical treatment. Let the official judge."

"Captain Xu just came to get medicine for his wife! He hasn't gone far yet, I'm going to chase him back right now!"

The little medicine boy is seven or eight years old, and his speech is soft and soft. He has obviously cooperated with the waiter many times, and he is very familiar with the performance.

Throw down the broom and pretend to run out.

"Hey!"

The old lady inside reacted slowly and before she could say anything, the two middle-aged men standing at the door grabbed the little medicine boy Aping by the back collar in a few steps.

"Wait a minute, let's pay!"

The middle-aged man smiled apologetically.
