I became the villain's deceased wife

It was after both of them got married that Yang Shucai took over his father's job and ran Zuixianlou successfully.

Once when he returned to his hometown to visit his parents, he found out that Liu Shouren's medicine shop had been smashed.

At that time, Liu Shouren had married his master's daughter and officially took over Jishengtang.

Adhering to his master's principle of practicing medicine to save the world, he was very kind to those from poor families who came to see him for treatment.

Not only are the medical fees and medicine costs charged at the lowest price, but many people who are short of money can also buy on credit or even have their money waived directly.

Song Tian nodded quickly:

"No wonder Dr. Liu refused to buy on credit when we first met. It turns out he has suffered losses in this regard before."

Yang Shucai nodded.

"At that time, the local squire Huang Jiadong suddenly controlled the county's medicinal materials market for unknown reasons, forcing all major medical clinics and drugstores to purchase their products from him.

Those who don’t obey will be forced to obey by various means or even eliminated directly…”

Many drugstores and medical clinics closed down.

Some medical practitioners either changed their careers directly or followed the Huang family's "advice" and joined the ranks of those whose medical fees soared.

But Liu Shouren is stubborn.

Not only did he not raise the price, he also allowed his apprentice to purchase medicine from outside on his own.

Those poor people who cannot afford medical treatment can all get credit.

His wife advised him not to go against the powerful, saying that if he continued to do so, not only would he squander the family fortune left by her father, but the lives of his entire family might also be in danger.

But Liu Shouren refused to listen and just said that his master's last wish was to save the world and save people. If he followed suit, countless poor people would get sick and have to wait to die.

"I didn't expect that Dr. Liu could be so passionate!"

Song Tian sighed.

She always felt that Liu Shouren was cautious, even timid.

I didn't expect that he had such a tough side, and he was unyielding in the face of the powerful.

Yang Shucai shook his head.

“He wasn’t hot-blooded, he was just thinking of his mother.

Aunt Wu's illness was not serious, but her family was poor, and she had to take medicine intermittently, so her condition gradually became worse, to the point where it was beyond help."

At that time, Aunt Wu took the initiative, firstly because she didn't want to burden her child anymore, and secondly, she realized that even if she took more medicine, she would not have much time left.

It is better to end your life early so that you can suffer less.

Song Tian nodded:

"What then?"

"Later, more and more people bought on credit, and the pharmacy was unable to make ends meet. Shouren's wife left with her children in anger, and he was also harassed by those who wanted to buy on credit but were rejected..."

The leader was Li Dacheng.

At that time he said his mother was sick and he wanted to buy on credit.

However, Jishengtang was already financially strapped, and seeing that he was dressed fairly decently, they rejected his request.

Li Dacheng then brought a group of people to smash the signboard of Jishengtang, saying that he was a swindler and defrauding the poor.

Liu Shouren was almost beaten to death in that incident.

Fortunately, Yang Shu heard the news and rushed over, stopped the gang of thugs, and rescued Liu Shouren.

He also used his connections to find out the truth of the matter.

It turned out that Li Dacheng was bribed by Huang Jiadong to bring down the disobedient Jishengtang.

The sudden surge in the number of poor people who came to buy on credit recently caused Jishengtang to be in deficit, and it was all his doing.

Yang Shucai spent money to settle the matter, and the Huang family manager promised not to pursue the matter further, so Liu Shouren was able to escape with his life.

"You are so kind and righteous, but he treats you so coldly. Don't you hate him?"

Song Tian's admiration for Yang Shucai increased even more.

Yang Shucai laughed:

“He is a person who is hard-mouthed but soft-hearted.

I did have a prejudice against his attitude before, but I was on duty in the county town and seldom had the chance to go home to take care of my parents, so he had always been the one who went back to visit them on my behalf.

Whenever they were sick or had a disaster, he helped take care of them... until they passed away."

Yang Shucai said this and fell into deep thought.

"I think he always dislikes me, but he just can't get over it."

Song Tian nodded.

It is indeed difficult to stay rational when it comes to your loved ones.

"Now that Li Dacheng has jumped out to cause trouble again, do you think it is possible that this is related to the Huang family?"

Yang Shucai sighed:

"That's not necessarily true. After all, even if he was bribed, he wouldn't risk his life."

Not to mention just buying off relationships, even among the Huang family's own loyal servants, there are only a few who can do this.

"No matter what the reason is, we have to investigate carefully to find out the truth."

In order to get to the bottom of the credit purchases, he mobilized almost all of his connections, even alarming his employer in the capital, before he uncovered the Huang family as the culprit.

Moreover, the boss also said that the Huang family cannot be touched.

Now that such a murder has happened, he is afraid that there is nothing he can do.

"Tomorrow you go to Sanhuangli to deliver a letter to your brother and sister-in-law. I will go to Wangnan Village to check out the situation first. If we find anything, we will meet up in town."

No matter how muddy the water is, you have to wade in it to know its depth.

"Should I inform Captain Zhang?"

Song Tian asked again.

After all, they are going to investigate a case, and the detectives from the yamen may be more professional.

Yang Shucai shook his head:

"Since they dare to frame us like this, they must be well prepared to guard against the government's tactics. If the detectives go along, they won't be able to find out anything.

Why not wait until we find something fishy and then ask him to investigate."

Song Tian nodded again.

That's the truth.

Many people did not sleep well that night.

Especially Liu Shouren who was in prison.

He couldn't understand why he had devoted his entire life to helping others and had never intended to harm anyone, but in the end, he ended up with such a miserable ending.

It would have been bad enough that his wife and children were separated from him, but now he is not even left with a way to survive.

This is really a trick of fate.

He remembered Song Tian's words again:

"Maybe I can save you?"

Although she was just a young girl who had not experienced much of the world, he inexplicably trusted her very much.

From making an exception to give her credit at the beginning, to later giving her the last rejuvenation pill left by his master, Doctor Liu always felt that this little girl always kept her word and never broke her promise.

But now...

It can only be said that success and failure are both due to Xiao He.

If he didn't trust Song Tian so much, he wouldn't have treated Wang Suozhu.

Later on, there won’t be so many people coming to the store, and it won’t bother some people anymore.

Ever since his wife left, he regrouped and reopened Jishengtang, always being very cautious, fearing to offend those people again.

But sometimes that's how it is.

A tree that stands out in the forest will be blown away by the wind.

Even though he was very careful, his reputation still spread, causing jealousy among his peers.

I'm afraid this time, it will be difficult for him to turn things around.

……

The next day, Song Tian got up very early.

After preparing dinner for everyone and eating together, we prepared to set off for Sanhuangli.

Haoer is always excited every time he goes out. He holds Xianfeng and looks here and there.

Xie Yunzhe first went to the bookstore to ask for leave, and then went to Chongwen Academy to ask for leave for Haoer as well.

"We are going to do serious business today. Don't run around when the time comes. You also have to keep an eye on the vanguard."

When he got on the ox cart, he said to Haoer with a serious face.

Hao'er also frowned and said seriously:

"Don't worry, brother and sister-in-law, Hao'er will never hold us back.

Doctor Liu once saved my life, this time it's my turn to save him!"

Then he patted the Pioneer's head:

"The vanguard will also work hard then."

"Wang Wang!"

The pioneer called out twice to show his agreement.

But Song Tian's mood is still very heavy...
