Chapter 416 Believe it or not
Xia Wanniang nodded: "Shopkeepers Hong and Chang went to the shop as soon as they entered the city. They probably don't trust the shop assistants."
Qiu He: "I was wondering why Judge Li Tong was not made sick?"
Xia Wanniang was a little surprised: "He is not infected?"
Qiu He: "It's strange, he seems to have never been sick for such a long time. The medicine sold in his pharmacy seems to have a certain therapeutic effect."
Xia Wanniang tapped her fingers on the table: "Find a way to get me a prescription from them."
Qiu He nodded and said, "I'll go now." Then he left.
Xia Wanniang asked Aunt Xiao and the children to stay in the house while she went out to take a look.
After leaving Qiu He's mansion, she strolled to the only open pharmacy in the city, where many well-dressed people were queuing up to buy medicine.
"Boss, please get me some medicine quickly. My whole body is itchy and I am in great pain."
A man with a big belly and triangular eyes stood behind the counter. He looked embarrassed, but his eyes revealed calculation: "Boss Lu, it's not that I'm prescribing medicine for you, but the price of medicine has increased again, and we are in a difficult situation too!"
Boss Lu wanted to scratch the pimple on his body, but was afraid of breaking it, so he could only grit his teeth and endure it: "Just tell me how much you want to sell it for!"
"This..." The fat shopkeeper looked embarrassed.
Boss Lu: "I have plenty of money, hurry up and get me some medicine."
The fat shopkeeper rolled his eyes and said, "You said it, don't say the medicine is expensive."
"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up." Boss Lu pulled at his clothes uncomfortably.
The fat shopkeeper took out a pack of medicine from under the counter and placed it on the counter. When he saw Boss Lu reaching out to take it, he quickly took it back and said, "Boss Lu, give me the money."
"How many."
The fat shopkeeper smiled kindly: "One hundred taels."
Boss Lu's eyes widened: "How much?"
"One hundred taels." The fat shopkeeper said calmly.
Boss Lu: "Wasn't it only ten taels yesterday?"
The fat shopkeeper said with a fake smile: "Boss Lu, you said it was yesterday. The price of medicine is getting more and more expensive every day. Now Maocheng is under lockdown and the medicinal materials can't be brought in. Isn't it selling less every day?"
He paused again and said, "Don't you think that money is more important than life?"
Boss Lu was furious. If the drug wasn't effective for a day, why would he need to buy it every day? "Then get me ten doses."
The fat boss looked at the people queuing behind him with an embarrassed look on his face: "I'm so sorry, each person is limited to buying one pair, and there are still many people waiting to buy medicine behind us. Everyone is trying to make a living. Boss Lu, please don't embarrass me, a small shopkeeper."
Boss Lu slapped a hundred-liang silver note on the table, snatched the medicine, and left angrily.
"Boss Lu, take care! Remember to buy medicine tomorrow!" The fat shopkeeper did not forget to shout behind him.
Xia Wanniang looked at the long queue at the pharmacy and did not choose to enter the shop. Instead, she went straight to chase after Boss Lu who had just left.
Boss Lu found someone following him, so he defensively held the medicine in his arms. He turned around and saw Xia Wanniang, who was wearing strange clothes: "You, what are you going to do?"
Xia Wanniang looked at Boss Lu who was holding the medicine tightly and said, "I want to see the bag of medicine in your arms."
Upon hearing this, Boss Lu held the medicine tighter: "I can't give you this medicine, but I can give you money, and you can go and queue up to buy it yourself."
Xia Wanniang didn't want to see the ingredients of the medicine, so she didn't bother to talk nonsense with him: "I'm not sick."
Boss Lu looked at the situation carefully and didn't seem to notice that she looked sick. "Why do you need my medicine if you are not sick?"
"I just want to see the ingredients of the medicine. I can cure your disease and I don't want your money." Xia Wanniang said calmly.
Boss Lu seemed to have heard the funniest joke: "You, this little woman, are not afraid of getting your tongue hurt when you brag."
Xia Wanniang considered whether to knock him out and snatch the medicine away, but seeing that there were many people nearby, she said, "If you don't believe me, you can come with me. For you now, it's just one more chance, there's no loss."
Boss Lu hesitated for a moment: "You really don't want to steal my medicine?"
Xia Wanniang was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and turned around and walked forward: "Believe it or not."
Boss Lu hesitated for a moment, then followed her with the medicine in his arms.
