Xiao Yi held her hand tightly and responded calmly: "I was not there those days."

"Haha, I didn't realize that. He must have been beaten a lot when he was a kid."

"Indeed, he is full of bad intentions and gets beaten up nine times out of three days." So my wife should not be interested in this guy anymore.

Look at him! He has been well behaved since he was a child.

Inside the Xiao family pharmacy, the lights were as bright as day. Three people sat at the desks, silent, and there was a hint of tranquility in the air.

Mr. Li placed two fingers on Jiang Cheng's wrist, frowned, and did not let go for a long time.

"Comrade Jiang is not seriously ill. He is just tired and exhausted. With proper exercise, a regular work and rest schedule, and taking herbal medicine, the discomfort will naturally go away."

As he said this, he looked at Xiao Qing again.

"Comrade Xiao had an operation last year, and he should have rested more after the operation. However, according to his current pulse condition, he still needs to recuperate for a few more days. Remember to worry less and keep a calm mind."

Xiao Qing did not say much about the fact that Mr. Li diagnosed that she had undergone surgery last year. Xiao Yi knew about this, and as Xiao Yi was always obedient to his wife, he would definitely tell Ji Qinglan, and then Ji Qinglan would tell Mr. Li.

Jiang Cheng said: "Thank you, Mr. Li, please prescribe a prescription."

Old Master Li nodded, picked up the pen and started writing on the rice paper: The best way to cure an illness lies in the heart.

He wrote prescriptions for each of them and prepared the medicine in the medicine cabinet at the back. Since he came back, he added various medicinal materials bit by bit, and now this place has become a small Chinese medicine warehouse.

He opened the wooden box that Ji Qinglan had placed on the shelf, took out the purple Ganoderma lucidum inside, and cut out a corner.

Anyway, they were all obtained from President Xu, so he didn't feel sorry for using them.

By the time Xiao Yi came back with the four children, Jiang Cheng and Xiao Qing had already left.

The next morning, Ji Qinglan and Xiao Yi went out together. Xiao Yi went to work, and she planned to go to the store outside to buy two sets of clothes for Old Man Sun's grandson.

Several new stores have opened on the two streets outside Chengfu Street, selling clothing, food, and two stir-fry restaurants.

These stores seemed to appear overnight and they are even doing pretty good business.

Even the nearby streets became lively.

Xiao Yi dropped Ji Qinglan off outside a children's clothing store and went to work.

Old man Sun’s grandson is eight years old this year. Ji Qinglan selected a long-sleeved jacket and two sets of summer clothes according to his age. The salesperson was very enthusiastic and greeted him with a smile the whole time. His service attitude was much better than that of the waiters in department stores.

Because it was Sunday, there were many people coming to the store to buy clothes, and the three people in the store were simply overwhelmed. Ji Qinglan saw it and kept it in mind.

When he got home, Mr. Li was already waiting there. He was also preparing to go for a follow-up visit for Mr. Sun's grandson.

As for Jiang Xu and the other three, they had already run away with Ji Xincheng. Ji Xincheng signed up for a calligraphy class at the Children's Palace, Luo Hongyu went to the Children's Palace to practice oral pronunciation, and as for Jiang Xu and Xiao Shuyan, they took their rackets and went to play ball.

Ji Qinglan put the clothes she bought on the back seat of Mr. Li's bicycle, and went to the kitchen again. After a while, she brought out a large bag of food and tied it to the back seat.

Mr. Li's eyebrows jumped when he saw it. The bag was solid and looked heavy. He had no idea how much was inside.

If she keeps moving like this, the whole house will be emptied out. Fortunately, Ji Qinglan doesn't have a mother-in-law, otherwise she would have started to find fault with her and scold her.

The two of them rode their bikes to Kuache Hutong and saw from afar a group of people gathered at the gate and making a lot of noise. They could faintly hear crying sounds coming from the crowd.

The door was closed and there were cries mixed with various sounds of cursing.

Ji Qinglan pushed his feet and rode the bicycle very fast.

"Give way."

"Go away and mind your own business." A man blocking the door turned around and glanced at Ji Qinglan, speaking in an angry voice.

Ji Qinglan frowned. What happened?

"Kid, get out of the way. We are looking for Old Sun inside. This matter has nothing to do with you. Don't refuse a toast and drink a forfeit."

Yang Jing was blocking the gate with the gate closed behind him.

He stopped several people who wanted to rush in and warned them loudly: "You are trespassing. Leave now. I have asked someone to call the police."

"Young man, please be kind and let me in so I can talk to old man Sun." The elderly lady cried and begged Yang Jing. A young woman next to her was crying like a pear blossom in the rain. There were many people around who were eyeing Yang Jing covetously, staring at him angrily.

"Brother, please let us in! I want to go in and talk to my son."

Yang Jing was unmoved. How could he possibly give way? These people came with ill intentions and he was not blind.

"Uncle Sun said he doesn't want to see you, so leave now."

The old lady suddenly pulled Yang Jing's trouser leg and started to make a scene.

"Young man, I'm telling you, if you don't let me in, we won't leave. Who the hell are you to mind your own business?"

The old lady yelled at the door in an angry voice: "Old man Sun, I'm warning you, if you don't let my son out, I will hang myself at your door."

Yang Jing frowned, thinking that this old lady was being unreasonable. His son had been arrested and the police would make the decision on their own. What was the point in looking for old man Sun?

Old man Sun is a rag collector, not a god in charge of prisons.

He said, "What's the point of looking for him? His grandson was beaten half to death by your son. This is called assault and injury. The police will judge him. What old man Sun says doesn't count."

"How can he not count? As long as he signs a letter of apology, my son can be released. I beg you to be kind. My son is still young. His life will be ruined if he goes to jail."

Yang Jing remained unmoved.

If I had known this would happen, I would have done it in the first place.

The people brought by the old lady were almost unable to hold on any longer. Some of them were indignant and picked up bricks from the ground, ready to start a fight.

They are a group of people and Yang Jing is alone, so the advantage is on them.

Ji Qinglan, who was standing outside, also heard roughly what happened. She knew that it was the family of the current husband of Old Man Sun's ex-daughter-in-law who had come to make trouble. She also vaguely saw a woman crying and calling for her son in the crowd. She should be Old Man Sun's ex-daughter-in-law, Sun Yi's mother.

She sneered. If she had known this would happen, she would not have done it in the first place.

The one in front is ready to carry the gatekeeper away.

Ji Qinglan simply grabbed the back of the collar of the man in front of her who told her to mind her own business and dragged him away with brute force.

The man had a confused look on his face, standing on tiptoe, watching himself getting farther and farther away from the team.

Seeing that the attacker was the woman from before, he couldn't help but get angry, rolled up his sleeves and slapped her.

"Where did this bitch come from who doesn't know the rules?"

Ji Qinglan didn't give in either. She raised her foot, with her toes going directly over his head, and struck him hard on the shoulder, causing the man to split into two legs, performing a split on the spot.

"Ouch." The man stared with his eyes wide open, touched his own thighs that could not bear the weight, and screamed like a pig being slaughtered. The sound was so miserable that it directly drowned out the crying crowd in front of him.

Everyone turned around and saw the man sitting on the ground with his legs spread out in a straight line, looking in excruciating pain.
