Xia Manjiang had never felt such despair before. He thought in his heart, how could he be so unlucky this time?

"Get him up." Rich Man Yang gave the order as his subordinates walked over from both sides to help Xia Manjiang up.

"God of Fortune, I'll pay you back, okay?" Xia Manjiang begged the Rich Man Yang in front of him.

"You will pay me back!? I believe your bullshit, you're the fool! "Either you think of a way to steal the painkiller's secret recipe, or I'm going to throw you into the wild and feed you to the wolves right now."

Rich Man Yang did not have any patience. Seeing that Xia Manjiang was still swaying, he raised his hand and was about to give his order.

"I'll go..." Steal the prescription! "

"Go bandage his hands and send people to follow him every day. If he wants to play any tricks and escape, just kill him. There's no need to report to me."

After Rich Man Yang finished, he stood up, and without looking at Xia Manjiang again, he went to the second floor's private room.

Xia Li fiercely sneezed, he looked at the sky and sighed.

"What is going on? Who is speaking ill of me behind my back?"

"Maybe those who can't buy medicine are just talking about you." Sun Chun tapped Xia Li's nose and joked.

"Then I'll have to pick the medicine and sell it to them as soon as possible."

Xia Li laughed and stopped thinking wild thoughts, using the thirst as an excuse to send Xia Li to get some water. She picked up some more ingredients needed to make the painkillers, and sent them into the space, where she prepared ten batches of painkillers, and sent them into the equipment. Then, she went to the medicine room to take out five sets of painkillers and put them into her pocket.

"Water, drink!" Sun Chun passed the kettle to Xia Li, and in his hand was a bunch of wild flowers.

"This is for me?" Xia Li was shocked, he looked at the flower in Sun Chun's hand, but his heart was filled with sweetness.

"Looking at the wild flowers blooming in the mountains today, they look extremely similar to your smiling face. I just want to pluck them and gift them to you. I hope you like them." Sun Chun replied to Xia Li sincerely.

Looking at Sun Chun's red ears and his embarrassed look, Xia Li placed the kettle on the ground and said: "This flower is also called Mei Er Xiang, it has the ability to awaken the mind, help me put it on my bun!"

"Alright." Sun Chun walked to Xia Li's side and stuck the wild flowers into the bun at the side of her hair. Xia Li's heart thumped wildly as she reached out to stroke the flowers, her eyes rolling as she asked Sun Chun the question.

"Does it look good?"

"Yes." Sun Chun nodded his head, with a smile on his lips.

"Shopkeeper, this is the account book for this month. Please take a look." As Day Rui said this, he sent a few thin books to Xia Li's side.

"Mm, you've worked hard. Go back and rest." As Xia Li spoke, he stopped what he was doing and focused on doing the calculation, checking out the pages of the account. As time passed, Xia Li's expression became more and more strange, he looked at the busy Day Rui and Day Bao whose eyes were different from before him, and then at attending doctor Bai Ying, causing Xia Li's hair to stand on end.

After pondering for an hour, Xia Li personally invited the three people to the study room after the guests left the hospital.

Day Rui, Day Bao, and Bai Ying looked at Xia Li suspiciously, as they did not understand why she suddenly looked for them.

"Since the opening of the hospital, the three of you have been working diligently, and there is no need to mention the hardships, I also treat everyone as one of my own, but today, I checked the silver in the account three times, and in the end, there were still less than fifty silver, who can tell me what happened?"

The three of them were shocked.

"Innkeeper, Day Bao and I were all bought by you from the hands of others, the indenture contract is all in your hands, how would we dare to do such a thing?"

"That's right. You must investigate clearly. Our lives and deaths are in your hands. We would absolutely not dare to take advantage of an outsider."

Day Rui and Day Bao had pleaded for mercy several times, making Xia Li feel guilty.

"Manager, I'm already an old man, there's no need for me to lose my integrity for a mere fifty silver." attending doctor Bai Ying was calm and composed, without a trace of panic.

Xia Li sank into a state of confusion. After being together with them for a few days, she naturally knew the nature of these people. Day Rui's mind was flexible, had eyes, and was pleasing to the eyes. Day Bao was foolish, moe, kind, had a simple personality, Bai Ying was the oldest, had a calm personality, and had long seen through everything. According to him, everything he did was to relieve his boredom.

"Has anyone approached the silver counter this month?" Xia Li asked after thinking for a while.

"Manager, your mother paid fifty silver yesterday." She said she needed it urgently, Day Rui said after thinking for a while.

"Originally Madam told me not to say it out loud. She would explain it to you personally, but I didn't expect you to find out so quickly."

"I got it, you guys go ahead." Xia Li was angry in her heart. What exactly was it that the Lee's was trying to hide from her?

Xia Li couldn't wait and went to the backyard. He searched the entire courtyard and the rooms of the Lee's but he couldn't find any Lee's.

This is the first time Xia Li has encountered such a thing, and he once again came to the hospital counter, then asked Day Rui, "Do you know where my mother went today?"

"Reporting to the shopkeeper, Madam didn't say anything. It's just that she seemed a bit flustered when she saw the expression on her face at that time." Day Rui thought about the situation at that time and described.

"Alright, you know what I know, so don't reveal it to the others." Xia Li looked at Day Bao and Bai Ying who were busy, and warned them.

"Manager, don't worry, I won't speak carelessly." Day Rui patted his chest as a guarantee.

As the sky darkened, the whole family sat around the courtyard and ate their meals. Lee's was modest and amiable like usual as he fed everyone present.

Xia Li had been secretly observing Lee's's expression the entire time. Even though she was trying her best to show a smile, the redness at the corners of her eyes and the bruises on the corner of her mouth still betrayed her. Xia Li's expression dimmed down as he grabbed the wine cup beside Sun Chun's hand and took a big gulp.

"What's the matter, girl?" The Lee's listened to Xia Li's movements and walked over to help pat her back.

"I'm fine." Xia Li pushed away the Lee's's hand and calmly replied.

"Drink some tea and slowly taste the spicy taste in your mouth." Sun Chun handed her a bowl of tea. Seeing the estrangement between the mother and daughter, a look of confusion flashed across his eyes.

Lee's felt Xia Li's rejection and his heart ached. Wiping the tears from the corner of his eyes, he returned to his seat.

"Mom, I want to eat that dish!" Xia Qing held out her small hand, and pointed to a dish that was quite a distance away from him, as she spoke softly.

"Alright, Mother will cook for you, Qing Er." Lee's forced a smile, took Xia Qing's bowl, and gave him some food.

The sky had just turned bright, and Lee's had already sent Xia Qing to the private school early in the morning. Just as she was about to leave, Xia Li followed closely behind quietly with her hind legs, but as soon as she walked out of the alley, someone patted her back, scaring her so much that she gasped and turned to look at the person who came in her direction, and reproached softly.

"You scared me to death!"

"I can see that you were worried last night, so you decided to check things out this morning." Sun Chun said indifferently.

"Hurry up and follow me, I'll tell you in detail later!" Xia Li sighed, pulled Sun Chun and the other two, and secretly chased after Lee's.

Lee's left the private school and walked to the run-down temple outside of town. After walking for a long time, a middle-aged man dressed in shabby clothes limped out and came to her side, took the money pouch from her hands and kicked her down.

"Damned woman!" I told you to steal her prescription! What I want is a prescription for painkillers! It's not only for the silver taels. Are you deaf? "

"Wouldn't it be fine if I gave you money? Why are you so greedy! That is the life saving medicine that the Water God mercifully bestowed to her daughter! " Lee's fell to the ground and cried as he spoke.

"I am his father! In order to obtain the prescription, Rich Man Yang had plotted against me in the gambling house! And cut off one of my fingers! It was all because of this vile creature! It's all her fault! " Xia Manjiang's face turned sinister as he took a step forward. Lee's's face was filled with panic as he crawled back.

"Damned woman, listen up! If I don't get the prescription, they'll throw me out to the wild to feed the wolves. You'll become a widow in the future, and you'll really be so heartless to watch me get killed by them? "

Xia Manjiang said as he squatted in front of Lee's, revealing his right hand that only had four fingers left.

"But, but a tiger doesn't devour its prey. You can't force me to harm my daughter. Beat me to death!" Lee's made up his mind and closed his eyes.

"You!" Xia Manjiang raised his hand in anger, he could not hold back and wanted to rush out, but Sun Chun grabbed him and shook his head at her.

It's just a prescription, why don't you just give it to the Rich Man Yang? Now that so many people are jealous of our daughter, one look at the prescription is the root of all the troubles. Today is the Rich Man Yang, there might be someone else tomorrow. Xia Manjiang lowered his voice and induced Lee's.

"This?" Of course not! " Lee's immediately reacted, he then shook his head: "But, I can't be the daughter's master, so I can't hurt her heart.

"Damned woman, how stubborn!" Xia Manjiang was enraged, he grabbed the rod beside him and was about to hit Lee's!

This time, Sun Chun could no longer hold her back. She rushed forward and pushed Xia Manjiang to the ground, roaring in anger, "Try hitting my mother again! I'll break your legs now! "

"It hurts so bad!" Xia Man couldn't care about anything now, nor could he listen. He had just fallen to the ground, subconsciously using his hands to prop himself up. In the end, he touched a broken finger and curled up on the ground, twitching in pain.

Sun Chun walked over and helped the shocked Lee's up.

"Listen up. No matter who ordered you to do this, as long as you hit my mother again and want to steal my prescription, I'll really give you my all!" As Xia Li said that, he took off the hairpin on his head and slashed across Xia Manjiang's face.

"Help! My daughter, save me! " Xia Manjiang was completely terrified by Xia Li's actions, he rolled over and dodged Xia Li's attack.

"Xia Li, if you kill him, you will also be charged with being unfilial!" Sun Chun made his move again, grabbing onto Xia Li's wrist, preventing her from doing something that would make him regret in the future.
