Quick Wear: Female Supporting Role
Chapter 42: Retribution
There was an endless stream of hawking sounds along the street, a dazzling array of food, freshly-baked meat buns, sesame cakes, and people coming and going on the street.
A ragged person flashed by, her thin figure moving quickly among the crowd, and people seemed not to see her. Then the figure stopped at a roast chicken shop, took a roast chicken out of the oven with her dirty hands, and then turned and ran away.
Weird things have been happening one after another in the past few days. The owner of the roast chicken shop suspected that the waiter had stolen the roast chickens, but more than 20 chickens disappeared every day. Even if the person was replaced, the same thing happened.
Finally, there was no choice but for the proprietress to stare at the waiter herself. When the waiter turned around to cut the meat, the proprietress widened her eyes and was stunned.
"Catch the thief!" the proprietress shouted, but the black shadow was quickly drowned in the crowd and disappeared.
The proprietress was so angry that she stamped her feet, but the waiters behind her looked confused. They didn't even see the thief, let alone what he looked like.
The lady boss collapsed on the ground, crying and shouting: "That bastard picked on a poor person like me and bullied him."
Even after reporting the crime, there was no sign of the thief, and in the following days several meat shops were robbed.
The thief acted quickly and visited more than a dozen butcher shops nearby, often waiting for more than half a month before moving on to the next one.
They had originally been a small business, and now that they were losing money, the deed to their shop was no longer in their hands, which was adding insult to injury.
The rent collectors came repeatedly and these families were suffering.
In contrast, in a teahouse not far away, Ling Ruoli propped up her head and looked at the people coming and going downstairs, staring blankly in boredom.
"Come on, open your mouth." Mei Zi picked up the cake and handed it to Ling Ruoli. Ling Ruoli leaned sideways and opened her mouth to wait for feeding. Mei Zi had to feed her, and the two smiled in tacit understanding. When the two met today, they reconciled automatically. When she learned that Ah Fei was about to get married, Mei Zi was happy for her and thought about preparing something.
Ling Ruoli leaned against the window with a sad face. She had stayed at home for three days and each day felt like a year. Not only did she have to familiarize herself with the wedding procedures, but the most terrifying thing was that on the second day after her wedding, she had to serve tea to the elders in the general's mansion.
In order to avoid embarrassment, Ling Ruoli had to remember the names, preferences, and identities of everyone in the row to avoid being rude, especially to old Madam Murong. She had been ignorant of etiquette and had contradicted her before, so she could not make the slightest mistake. The person who guided her gave her a lot of dogmas and directly advised Ling Ruoli to leave. She directly pressed the acupoints of the chattering old lady, then picked up her pharmacopoeia from the table and left without looking back.
What made her feel uncomfortable was that she had taken the wrong book and actually came out with a women's ring. What was most difficult for her to accept was that Mei Zi was very interested in it. Listening to Mei Zi reading, it was like being put on a tight hoop. Ling Ruoli simply snatched the book and had it burned. Was it a joke? She was a person who received nine years of compulsory education, and such an old-fashioned dogma was trying to restrain her across dimensions.
Just as he was lamenting about his life, someone from the pharmacy came over. Ling Ruoli said listlessly, "Didn't someone tell me that I'm not in charge of the pharmacy anymore?"
"It's the Second Madam," the clerk in the drugstore said nervously.
Ling Ruoli propped up her head and asked, "What happened to the Second Madam?"
"Some time ago, the Second Madam felt unwell and came to the pharmacy to get medicine. It was you who prescribed the medicine for her. Logically, the prescription should be the right medicine for her condition, but the Second Madam has increased the dosage recently, and Doctor Sun who is treating her is afraid..." Having said that, the young man raised his eyes and observed Ling Ruoli's expression.
"What do I think?" Ling Ruoli said, "I will be responsible if anything goes wrong."
"Little one knows"
"You go out and prepare the carriage, I want to go over there." This Jiang was really abominable. Her mother did not bother with her, but instead secretly poisoned her mother's medicine and even hurt the people around her.
I thought that given Jiang's greed, she would definitely eat the Ganoderma lucidum. What she gave was the real thing, and ordinary people could not enjoy it. If they forced themselves to eat it, not only would it have no effect, it would also be as deadly as poison.
Only people who practice cultivation can make the best use of it, so Jiang couldn't sleep well every night. Half a month ago, she swallowed the whole thing, causing unbearable abdominal pain and fainting. Ling Ruoli wanted to teach her a lesson and had no intention of taking her life, so she rescued her. She never expected that Jiang would send people to kill her, so don't blame her for taking action.
Now it is retribution. Even if Jiang takes medicine every day, he is just a spent force and will not be able to survive for much longer.
After everyone left, Mei Zi noticed that Ling Ruoli looked a little uncomfortable, so she asked hurriedly, "A Fei?"
This brought Ling Ruoli back from his thoughts, "Oh, what's wrong?"
"What are you thinking about? You are so absent-minded. Is it that Second Madam?"
"I'm going to the pharmacy," Ling Ruoli said.
