After the vicious adoptive mother gave up, the scumbag children regretted it

Shen Nanzhi’s principle has always been “I won’t offend others unless they offend me.” If a person in charge has to endure this, is it still hers?

People tend to bully the weak and fear the strong. From then on, the maids and servants did not dare to neglect them, and their eyes showed more fear.

After waiting for half an hour, Master Jin arrived, looking better. Shen Nanzhi asked first, "Is the old man feeling better now?"

"The diarrhea has stopped. The doctor said that we'll see if the situation improves. There's hope. My father was a little greedy, but your food is not innocent either."

Shen Nanzhi knew that after something like this happened, the Jin family wanted to reduce their responsibility, so they could only accept it now and make a big deal out of a small matter.

It's like a car accident that hits a pedestrian. No matter whether it's your fault or not, the other person is weaker and is right. In this world, there is often no reason to talk about things.

“Master Jin is right. We have failed to fulfill our duty to remind the elderly not to take advantage of the cold. We will pay more attention to this in the future.

To express my apology, I recommend a good doctor. If the old man's condition relapses, more doctors means more options. If something happens, there will be a backup option, so there will be no panic. "

Master Jin asked, "Do you know a good doctor?"

"I know him, but he's not well-known. He treats the people in the town. He's a kind-hearted doctor, a good one."

She was talking about Doctor Li, who was a good doctor and a very smart person. Shen Nanzhi's medicine needed a history, and she hoped Doctor Li could help cover it up.

Of course, this also has its advantages. Doctor Li can also make a name for himself and even come to the county to develop his career. He no longer has to make a living in a small village and collect herbs for a living.

Master Jin also felt that it was not safe to have only one doctor. "Well, let's wait until tomorrow. If my father is not well, please ask the doctor to come and see him together."

The doctor managed to stop the disease today. Seeing the relieved expression on his face, Master Jin felt that he was lucky catching a dead mouse and was a little worried.

After leaving the Jin family, Liao Baojia finally breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, "Sister Shen, I'm glad you're okay. I was so scared that I was going to jail."

"Look at how timid you are. I didn't poison you. I was just doing business honestly. It shouldn't have come to this."

Liao Baojia: "Sister Shen, you don't know that if you offend powerful people, there is really no way to complain. Sometimes they don't even need a reason to punish you.

I have seen many people being bullied, many families being broken up, it was tragic to see.”

Shen Nanzhi was silent for a moment, then said, "Then make yourself rich and powerful, don't bully others, but don't let others bully you."

Liao Baojia was touched. "Sister Shen is right. Please protect me. I will follow you."

"We are not related, so I have no obligation to take care of you."

"Then I will take you as my sister, right? Or you can hire me as a farmhand, and I will work for you, and I will feel more at ease."

Liao Baojia is really timid. This incident made him see his own shortcomings and also saw Shen Nanzhi's abilities. He really wanted to surrender and be tied to Sister Shen's boat.

Shen Nanzhi was so pestered by him that she had no choice but to say, "Okay, let's cooperate. This tea stall is yours. It counts as your investment. You will still be the one to manage it in the future. I will provide the materials, and we will split it 50-50. How about that?"

"Fifty-fifty is too much. Thirty-seven is fine. I'll take seven and you three. What shopkeeper would want a fifty percent share?"

Shen Nanzhi was speechless. It was the first time he encountered someone selling his shares.

"Okay, let's make it 30-70. Let's draw up a contract. Since we are doing a serious business, I will check the accounts. If you don't do well, I will kick you out immediately."

Liao Baojia was happy, "No, I will do my best, don't worry, Sister Shen."

Shen Nanzhi handled his work impartially, and all contracts were filed with the government. He would not save a little money, and always tried to be legal in everything.

When she went to the county government office, she happened to meet Magistrate Cao, who was accompanied by a delicate beauty, who seemed to be his new concubine.

"Isn't this Miss Shen? I almost didn't recognize her."

The concubine took the initiative to greet her, and Shen Nanzhi recognized that it was an old friend, the beautiful girl named Xia Lanxue who was rescued from the bandit’s lair.

Xia Lanxue used to be a courtesan. She had never suffered any harm in the bandits' den. Now that she has come down from the mountain, she has found a backer for herself. To be able to become the concubine of the county magistrate, her means are not simple.

"It's you. Hello, sir, county magistrate. Hello, young lady."

Xia Lanxue's eyes flickered as she angrily asked, "Miss Shen, you didn't forget my name, did you?"

"Indeed, I am not a man either. I cannot remember the names of women who are prettier than me. I am afraid I will be jealous."

"Cuckoo..."

Xia Lanxue laughed so hard that her body shook. "Miss Shen is really humorous. Master, let's treat Miss Shen to a meal. She is my lifesaver."

County Magistrate Cao was doting on her and would grant her every request: "Okay, let's go to the inner house. Miss Shen and I are not outsiders. Let's have a meal together."

Shen Nanzhi declined: "Thank you for your kindness, County Magistrate, but I have something else to do. I will come to visit you and Auntie another day, and we will have dinner together."

Xia Lanxue said disappointedly: "Remember to come, I'll wait for you."

"it is good."

Shen Nanzhi nodded and kept her in mind.

After leaving the county government office, Liao Baojia raised his head and asked, "Sister Shen, are you on good terms with this Aunt Xia?"

"It's okay. Her last name is Xia. I just remembered. Is there any problem?"

"If the relationship is just average, then don't have dinner. It's not good to get too close and be seen. After all, she is just a concubine. She looks glamorous, but in fact, no one respects her. She is just a servant who uses her beauty to please others."

Everyone in the world looks down on concubines, and anyone with a bit of backbone would not bother to be someone else's concubine.

Shen Nanzhi understood what he meant. Birds of a feather flock together. Concubines play with concubines. She had a bad reputation to begin with. As a divorcee, the ladies of status in the county looked down on her.

If he continues to have close contact with his concubines, his reputation will be even worse.

"I understand. I know my limits. Let's go back."

Shen Nanzhi didn't care whether she was a concubine or not. If they got along well, they could play together. If not, they could go their separate ways. As long as they could save face, it was enough. There was no need to worry too much.

After explaining some things to Liao Baojia, Shen Nanzhi rode back to the village overnight to find Doctor Li.

Let Shen Qingshan go and invite someone. If she goes to the village by herself, the villagers will definitely not be happy about it, and Doctor Li will be ostracized by them. She can't harm others.

People from nearby villages would ask him to treat their illnesses, mainly because it was cheap. They would even ask him for help when they had problems with their livestock. Doctor Li was indeed an all-round doctor.

Doctor Li came to the Shen family and was not surprised to see Shen Nanzhi. He smiled and said, "I was just thinking it was you. What do you want from me?"

"Doctor Li, do you dare to come here if you know it's me? Aren't you afraid that the villagers will find out and target you?"
