When Song Tian was going back, he passed by Jishengtang and went in to see Wang Tieshan and his son.

Doctor Liu's medicine was very effective. Wang Suozhu has woken up, but the burnt area on his lower body is extremely painful. The strong young man, who is as strong as a hill, is groaning in pain.

"Girl Tian is here!"

Uncle Tieshan was lifting the thin blanket to check on his son's injuries when he saw Song Tian hurrying out.

"Suozhu, this is the Madam Song I told you about. If it weren't for her today, you might really..."

Wang Tieshan's words got stuck in his throat.

When Wang Suozhu saw Song Tian, ​​he stopped humming immediately and his originally pale face began to turn red.

"Thank you... thank you..."

"You're welcome. I'm so glad to see you're feeling much better. You don't know how worried Uncle Tieshan was this morning!"

When Song Tian smiled, Wang Suozhu's face turned even redder and he lay on the couch not daring to speak.

I always heard Uncle Tieshan praise his son, but I didn't expect him to be so shy. Song Tian smiled and prepared to leave.

"Uncle Tieshan, take these two taels of silver and buy some supplements for your son."

"Oh, this is unacceptable!"

Wang Tieshan hurriedly pushed it away, but Song Tian stuffed it into his hand without saying a word.

"Uncle Tieshan, don't be polite to me. You are in need of money right now, and you don't have much anyway."

Wang Tieshan's eyes were red, and he quietly pulled Song Tian out to talk.

"Girl, I won't hide it from you, my family is really out of money, and I even borrowed more than ten taels.

Didn’t you tell me that you could teach me the recipe for cold noodles so that we could sell it together?

Before, the uncle felt that it was not good to take away your business, but now..."

He didn't make much money from his ironware stall, and the lock pillar needed to be maintained in the future. Without the blacksmith shop, his livelihood was really difficult.

Song Tian sighed:

"Uncle, it's not that I won't help you, but I've been targeted by that Niu Er recently. If I teach you to sell cold noodles, it might bring you trouble!"

They didn't even let go of her carrying pole. Those people must have been keeping an eye on her movements all the time.

Uncle Tieshan also had a bitter face. He knew about Niu Er's situation. It was indeed difficult to deal with common people like them.

"What should I do?"

Not to mention that he still had to pay back the more than ten taels of silver for the famine, he couldn't even afford the money for Suozhu's medicine and recuperation in the future.

"But don't worry too much, uncle. I will go to the county town tomorrow to look for a new way out. If I can find a good job in the county town, would you be willing to help me?"

Setting up a stall in the vegetable market was not a long-term solution. She had originally planned to open a restaurant in the county town as long as Xie Yunzhe was able to study.

But because of Niu Er’s incident, this plan has to be brought forward.

"Okay, as long as you have a way, I will definitely help you."

Uncle Tieshan said gratefully.

After talking for a while, Song Tian was ready to go home. Before leaving, she remembered something and found Liu Shouren:

"I have to go to the county town tomorrow. Didn't you say you had something to give to Manager Yang of Zuixianlou?"

Doctor Liu glanced at her, and seemed quite impatient:

"It's so sudden. I haven't prepared my things yet. Come get them when you leave tomorrow morning."

Song Tian was puzzled.

Didn’t he say that he saved his life? Why does he seem unhappy every time Manager Yang is mentioned?

However, Liu Shouren was unwilling to say, so she didn't ask too much.

Maybe you’ll know the answer tomorrow by asking Yang Shu.

Thinking this, Song Tian went home.

In the evening, Liu asked her why she didn't come back with the carrying pole, and Song Tian made up an excuse to fool her, saying that she would go to the county town the next day to see if she could bring back some better materials.

I thought Xie Yunzhe would question the truthfulness of her words, but I didn't expect that he was so tired and sleepy that he didn't pay any attention to what she said.

"Are you OK?"

Only then did she notice that Xie Yunzhe seemed to be acting strangely recently.

Not only do I go out early and come back late, but it's not as relaxing as before. Every time I come back, I just eat something and go to bed.

"It's okay. I've been working so hard lately and I never get enough sleep!"

Xie Yunzhe yawned, ate a few mouthfuls of food and went to sleep.

Song Tian felt that he must be hiding something from everyone, but now she was in trouble and was overwhelmed.

The next day, Song Tian got up early and went to Jishengtang to find Doctor Liu to get something.

When she opened the exquisite box, she found that there was a ginseng as thick as Ying'er's arm!

"Wow! This thing is so expensive!"

Song Tian's eyes lit up and he said teasingly:

"Doctor Liu is bleeding heavily!"

Liu Shouren waved his hands irritably:

"I owe him this, take it quickly and don't lose it on the way!"

Song Tian put the ginseng away with a smile, and wrapped it in an inconspicuous piece of rag in order not to show off his wealth on the way.

"You old man, aren't you afraid that I'll take you away along the way?"

She is a money-grubber.

Liu Shouren was still irritable:

"If you want to go, go quickly. Don't dawdle here."

Seeing that he really didn't want to pay attention to her, Song Tian had no choice but to pick up her bag and leave.

She did not wait for the oxcart that came specifically to pick up passengers, but went to Hong San's carriage and horse shop, stuffed a tael of silver into his pocket, and said she wanted to go to the county town on the way.

Hong San felt embarrassed:

"Xie's wife, this is a truck carrying goods, we should charge less, but you gave us so much..."

"Brother Hong, just take it. I told you to deliver the goods every day, but something happened at home and you didn't do it. This money is your compensation."

Hong San took the silver and said with a guilty look:

"Anyway, the money I earn is not mine, it's all for my boss, so you don't have to be so polite, ma'am."

After thinking for a while, he said:

"Lady Song, if you want to go to the county town in the future, you don't have to wait for the ox cart. If there is a truck going the same way, I will definitely be able to give you a ride."

"Thank you, Brother Hong San."

Song Tian thanked him and asked:

"I heard that the stevedoring company has been very busy recently. You have achieved great results this year. The boss must have rewarded you for your good performance, right?"

Hong San looked strange:

"Is the stevedore business busy? Shi Da even had time to play cards with me yesterday!"

Song Tian was stunned.

Xie Yunzhe was indeed lying.

Hong San thought that her husband was still working for Shi Da, and she might have said something wrong just now, so she hurried to make amends for herself.

"Maybe I don't know, Shi Da is usually lazy and just lets his subordinates do the work."

Song Tian smiled awkwardly.

Could you please not be so obvious about your lies?

Arriving at the county town, Song Tian went straight to Zuixianlou and gave Yang Shucai the things that Doctor Liu had instructed him to do.

Shopkeeper Yang was also surprised:

"How could he be willing to give up such a big ginseng?"

Song Tian wanted to ask him what his relationship with Liu Shouren was, but she was more concerned about her own affairs, so she asked:

"Manager Yang, do you know what to do with the dental plasters used for business purposes?"

Yang Shucai was stunned:

"Do you want to open a shop in the county town?"

Song Tian was shocked:

"Do I need to apply for a dental certificate to open a shop?"

Yang Shucai nodded:

"If you open a shop, you have to pay taxes to the government. The county government requires you to get a certificate. If you just set up a stall in the market, you only need to pay the stall fee when you encounter the market supervision. There is no need to go through so much trouble."

Song Tian thought, isn't this trouble finding her?

Just as I was about to ask for clarification, I heard a commotion in the lobby of Zuixianlou, and someone shouted loudly:

"When the government is investigating a case, no one present is allowed to move, or else beware of the sword!"
