The merchants from Mr. Dong's house dispersed in twos and threes, and today's medicine meeting came to an end.
Everyone sighed, laughed, cursed and packed up their stalls.
Compared with others, the biggest deal today was naturally with Gu Shiba Niang. Although this was the only one who came to the door, the price was equivalent to a day's business. Of course, the more important thing is that she was the only one in this medicine meeting. Opened.
"Now that's good, eldest sister," the young man's face glowed with excitement, "Even the merchants who came to buy Mr. Dong's medicine have bought our medicine. Now we have made a name for ourselves..."
The smile on Gu Shiba Niang's lips never faded. She looked at the envious eyes around her. She didn't dare to say that she was famous, but at least she would be better than before.
She threw away the money in her hand, and now that the medicine store has opened, it finally has a surplus.
But why are these people looking at me and pointing
"Is this the one?" A druggist in a flowered robe looked over sideways, because the flesh on his smiling face was squeezed into a ball.
"Hey, she is a beautiful little lady..." The fat man chuckled and said to the people around him, "...Old Wang is already this age, and he still has such a romantic mind..."
There were so many people and noisy voices, and their voices were so low that Gu Shiba Niang couldn't hear what they said. She only saw those people walking by in twos and threes looking at her strangely, and then burst into laughter.
Their smiles and expressions made Gu Shiba Niang very uncomfortable.
"Let's pack up and go back." She lowered her head and told the boy.
"Hey, little lady..." After all, a smooth-faced drug dealer came over, winked and stretched out his hand to grab the medicine in front of him, "What are they?... Do you have Liu Gong's secret recipe?..."
Gu Shiba Niang stopped what she was doing, glanced at him, and said, holding back her displeasure, "What does the guest want?"
"Young lady..." the drug dealer said with a chuckle, "How much do you sell it for?"
Gu Shiba Niang was furious.
Who is she? She, Gu Shiba Niang, is the daughter of the Gu family of a wealthy Jiankang family. She is the eldest daughter-in-law of the third wife of the powerful Shen family in Jiankang. Although she has been treated coldly and sarcastically throughout her life, and no one has given her any respect, I have never experienced such blatant teasing in public!
"roll!"
Gu Shiba Niang raised her eyebrows and smashed a dustpan of white peony roots in her hand. The drug dealer didn't expect that the little girl would get angry at a word and hurriedly took a few steps away, looking quite embarrassed.
The crowd laughed.
"Lao Gao, I don't want to look at you like that, don't make you look so naughty..." Someone laughed loudly and cheered.
The drug dealer wanted to say some harsh words, but he thought that Shiba Niang didn't seem to be someone to be trifled with. He also thought that these retail traders were local snakes here, so he could only say angrily: "...How do you do business? Ask Yao Well, what kind of attitude..."
He shook his sleeves, swept the white peony root off his body, held it in his hand and looked at it with disdain, "Look at the cut white peony root... I don't want it for free..."
"If you don't want to, get out." The boy put his hands on his hips and cursed, carrying a stool and moving forward.
The drug dealer hurriedly walked away without forgetting to turn around and say, "Ignorant people... vulgar!"
The boy spat at him.
The drug dealer joined the team and was patted on the shoulder by a few acquaintances.
"...She doesn't look as good as Lao Wang... I don't like this little lady..." The group walked away laughing.
"Sister, these are rough people in the business world, don't take it to heart..." the young man comforted cautiously.
Gu Shiba Niang had calmed down. She had just impulsively forgotten that she was no longer the Gu Shi Niang she once was.
"It's okay, it's okay." She smiled at the little boy, but she felt that she was too impulsive.
Although it was a bit unpleasant in the end, overall Gu Shiba Niang was very happy today. She was able to sell the medicine in front of Mr. Dong's door, which felt a bit like being able to use a sword in front of Mr. Guan's door.
Returning to Peng's Pharmacy, the door of the pharmacy was closed.
Douhua, who was opposite, saw her and said hello, "Eighteen Niang, Eighteen Niang..."
Gu Shiba Niang knew that she had something to say and hurriedly took a few steps over.
"My mother has gone back?" Gu Shiba Niang asked hurriedly.
She took the little boy to sell medicine, leaving Cao alone in the store to watch. Cao could read, the names of medicines were written on the medicine cabinets, and she could also use a scale, which was enough to deal with the individual customers who came to grab medicines.
"A letter was delivered to your family. Your mother hurried back after reading it..." Douhua said, standing up with a bit of anxiety on her face.
letter? Since Gu's father passed away, their family has not had much contact with them.
"Eighteen Mother, please go back and take a look." Douhua hesitated and said, "I don't think this is a good thing... Your mother even cried after reading the letter..."
Cried? Gu Shiba Niang was even more surprised. She thanked Douhua immediately, asked the boy to put away the medicine and look after the store, and hurriedly ran home.
As soon as he turned into the alley, he bumped into Gu Hai, who was running towards him.
"Brother, are you back too?" Gu Shiba Niang asked hurriedly, covering her forehead.
"Is it broken?" Gu Hai quickly checked her forehead, but Shiba Niang blocked it.
"What's wrong with mother?" she asked anxiously.
Gu Hai said, "It's just the right time for you to come back. Go help mother pack her things, and I'll go say goodbye to husband..."
After he said that, he ran away.
Gu Shiba Niang stood there dumbfounded, packing her things...saying goodbye...
What are you packing for? Where to say goodbye
A gust of autumn wind blew by, Gu Shiba Niang shivered, and when she looked again, Gu Hai had long disappeared.
"Don't worry...even though you are selling this house in a hurry, I promise to give you a good price..."
As soon as I walked to the door, I heard Aunt Liu's voice coming from the yard.
Gu Shiba Niang suddenly felt cold all over her body.
Selling a house...why have you been going around in circles for so long and still come back to this issue
how come? How could this be
She opened the door with a bang, but the movement was too loud, and the two door panels made a clanging sound.
Madam Liu, who was talking passionately, was startled.
"Not for sale! This house is not for sale!" Gu Shiba Niang shouted in a sharp voice and rushed forward to grab Mrs. Liu. "Say, who wants to buy my house? Who wants to force us out? Who dares to do this? , I will let him die badly!"
She screamed and sneered as she shook Madam Liu, who was two times thicker than her, like a madman.
Lady Liu screamed in fright, and Mrs. Cao, who had recovered her senses, hugged Gu Shiba Niang.
"What's wrong with Eighteenth Mother? What's going on?" She tried her best to pull her daughter away from Lady Liu.
"Get out of here, get out of here. Whoever wants to buy my house, I'll kill him! I'll kill him!" Gu Shiba Niang pointed at Mrs. Liu, her eyes were red and she shouted at the top of her lungs, " Who wants to harm me! Who wants to harm me! I want him to live and die and be ruined..."
This girl from the Gu family is crazy! Madam Liu rolled out and rushed out.
