Returning to 84, hunting for wealth, one person feeding three families.

Changsheng Pharmacy.

The place, which used to be bustling with people, is now deserted.

Inside the lobby.

Qian Jiali rested her head on her arm, her face grave.

Standing to the side, Luo Ling frowned for a long time before shaking her head.

"Sister Jiali, if it really comes to it, let's pack up and leave today."

"Those people are not to be trifled with. They're clearly after the shopkeeper. We don't want to get ourselves into trouble and offend them!"

It turns out, it happened yesterday afternoon.

A group of people stormed into the pharmacy and started shouting as soon as they entered.

The shopkeeper claimed to treat patients and prescribe medicine, but in the end, he killed the patient!

A group of burly men, after talking, actually started to attack, trying to smash up the shop.

At a critical moment, we were fortunate to have the police patrolling the streets.

That's how they drove the group away!

However, before leaving, the other party made some harsh remarks.

This isn't over yet!

Luo Ling was meticulous and had already seen through the trick.

This is not just a rumor; it is very likely that it is aimed at the pharmacy.

Either the shopkeeper has made an enemy, or the other party is a competitor who wants the pharmacy to close down and seize the market.

The two were just ordinary people, so naturally, it was best for them to protect themselves!

"No!"

Without even thinking, Qian Jiali shook her head.

"The manager of Changsheng Pharmacy was kind enough to give me a chance. If it weren't for his appreciation, where would I be working?"

"A drop of kindness deserves a spring of gratitude in return; I will stand with the pharmacy through thick and thin!"

"Sister Jiali, why are you so stubborn?"

Luo Ling was furious and couldn't help but grab Qian Jiali's arm, trying to dissuade her.

Halfway through his sentence, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Jiali, Luo Ling, do you two have some time?"

But then they saw the old shopkeeper with gray hair walking towards them, his back hunched.

After sitting down opposite each other, they took out a stack of ten-yuan bills and placed them on the table.

"My Changsheng Pharmacy has offended some people. You saw those people yesterday; they're not people you can reason with!"

"I've figured it out. After running a business for so many years, I'm getting old now, and the most important thing is stability."

"I'm closing this pharmacy. Before I leave, you all need to settle your wages!"

As he spoke, the old shopkeeper counted out ten large banknotes, each with a face value of ten yuan, and placed them in front of Luo Ling and Qian Jiali respectively.

"You two have been working at my pharmacy for half a month now. I've seen how you've behaved during this time."

"I'll give each of you fifty yuan as a severance package. Go back and find other employers. Don't bother with me anymore."

As he spoke, the old shopkeeper placed another stack of ten-yuan notes in front of him and gave him instructions.

"Also, here's another thousand yuan. You two give it to Ye Chen later, and tell him it's something I owe him."

"I can't keep my promise to him anymore, but at least I should return the money to its rightful owner."

One thousand dollars?

What you owe Ye Chen?

How could that good-for-nothing have so much money?

What exactly happened?

"Shopkeeper, explain yourself clearly, what's going on with this money?" Qian Jiali asked in shock.

The old shopkeeper sighed and shook his head before explaining the truth, revealing that Ye Chen was selling medicine and recommending Qian Jiali to practice medicine.

Finally, he even offered advice to Qian Jiali.

"I've overheard you two sisters talking a lot these past few days, and they seem to have quite a few complaints about your ex-husband."

"I think Ye Chen is a real man. He's done so much without showing off, which is much better than those young people who only know how to brag."

Qian Jiali remained silent, her mind in turmoil.

I originally thought that working in a pharmacy was based on one's own abilities.

But in the end, it turned out that Ye Chen had made an agreement with the old shopkeeper?

She had been trying to escape Ye Chen, but in the end she realized that she had always been in Ye Chen's shadow.

The other party had already paved the way for him, and he still complained about Ye Chen.

They say he's unambitious and incompetent.

How could I have the nerve to say such things?

Qian Jiali blushed more and more as she thought about it, while Luo Ling, who was standing to the side, was also stunned and remained silent for a long time.

"Damn it, you guys are really stubborn."

"I gave you guys a chance yesterday, and you still won't close down, huh?"

Just as the two were stunned by the truth, a rough voice suddenly came from outside the pharmacy.

But then a burly man nearly two meters tall, followed by four men, strode over.

The burly man's eyes, like copper bells, scanned the entire hall.

When their gazes fell on Qian Jiali and Luo Ling, there was a clear difference between them.

"Hehe, I never expected that such a small pharmacy would be hiding a mistress."

"Shopkeeper, get out here! I want to discuss a business deal with you!"

"I'll take this shop. I was originally planning to kick you out without giving you a single item, but considering you have two such beautiful female employees, we can talk it over!"

"Here's two hundred yuan, consider it money for buying the shop. Pack your things and get out of here!"

"Oh, and when you leave, leave those two women for me; I can have a taste of them tonight!"

As the burly man spoke, he walked straight toward Qian Jiali and Luo Ling.

Seeing this, the old shopkeeper looked bitter, but he steeled himself and stepped forward to block the other party's path.

"If you do this, believe me, I'll call the police!"

"Old man, you've got some nerve, calling the police? You really think you'll be safe just because I've been arrested?"

The burly man said disdainfully, "If I go to the police station, I'll only be locked up for a few days at most."

"But I still have quite a few men under my command. Do you think my brothers will let you off the hook?"

"These days are far from peaceful; unexpected things happen all the time. You don't want to trip and fall, and lose half your life, do you?"

As the burly man finished speaking, he even reached out and pushed the old shopkeeper.

The old shopkeeper stumbled backward and fell to the ground.

Already old and frail, he suddenly experienced shortness of breath and coughed repeatedly.

"Shopkeeper, are you alright?"

Upon seeing this, Qian Jiali and Luo Ling quickly stepped forward, each supporting one of the old shopkeeper's arms, and helped him up and placed him on a chair.

After calming the old shopkeeper down, Qian Jiali turned around and glared angrily at the burly man.

Are you leaving or not?

"If you don't leave now, I'll call the police, and none of you will escape!"

"Haha, I love your fiery temper!"

The burly man smiled, showing no fear of Qian Jiali's threat, and strode forward.

He reached out to grab Qian Jiali's arm.

"Young lady, with such a fiery temper, you probably haven't experienced the pleasures of a man yet, have you?"

"If you give in to me tonight, I promise I'll give you an experience of unparalleled pleasure!"

Faced with the fan-like palm, Qian Jiali tried to dodge, but unfortunately, she was no match for the strong man's speed.

Just as they were about to fall into the other party's control, a crisp slap suddenly broke the heavy atmosphere.

"Snapped!"

Luo Ling rushed forward and stood in front of Qian Jiali.

That slap just now was from her.

Unfortunately, the strong man had thick skin and flesh, so his cheeks didn't even turn red.

Instead, he became angry and slapped Luo Ling across the face!

Luo Ling was already physically weak, how could she withstand such an attack?

Despite reacting quickly and using her arms to protect herself, she was still knocked to the ground by the slap.

"Damn it, I was originally planning to treat you guys well!"

"You ungrateful slut, I'll take you both home tonight. After I'm done, the brothers will get a share!"

The burly man sneered and ordered his men to take action.

"Brothers, take these two women away from me."

"You've all washed up tonight, so relax too!"
