Dad, we are so stable, should we do something?

After they entered the grain store, Tian Xinger asked, "Boss, was that a doctor just now? How did he end up like this?"

"You should be from outside the area. You may not know that Doctor Yang once killed a patient while treating him. He is also a wealthy man in our area. He has said that no one can see Doctor Yang and the clinic cannot accept him. Otherwise, with Doctor Yang's medical skills, he would not have fallen to the point where he can't even afford rice." The shopkeeper saw that they were also enthusiastic people, so he told them directly.

"Then why doesn't he take his family and leave the area?"

"Oh, isn't this also the work of that rich man? In order to deal with Doctor Yang, they deliberately didn't let him leave, so that he could only stay in our county and it was difficult for him to leave them. They just wanted to torture him and his family to make his life worse than death."

"Is this rich man so powerful? So no one can control him?" Tian Yuheng asked curiously.

"They say you are from other places, but officials are protecting each other. How can we ordinary people fight against them? We were able to help them before, but now we are not allowed to help. Moreover, Doctor Yang and his family can't repay the favors they owe. After a long time, no one is willing to help."

"No wonder." Tian Xing'er and the others finally understood what was going on.

Tian Xing'er was just curious about this matter and didn't think of stepping forward. After all, they were outsiders here and couldn't do anything about it or help.

"Shopkeeper, you are good people and you must have helped a lot. Business is not good right now, and we can't keep giving you credit. I think you have no choice this time." Tian Xing'er tried to get close to the shopkeeper, hoping to know more about the situation.

"That's right. In the past year, the neighbors have helped Doctor Yang a lot. But it's also because Doctor Yang is a good person and has always helped us in the past. If there weren't elderly and children at home, Doctor Yang would have run away long ago.

But his mother didn't survive this winter, and his wife broke up with him a long time ago. Now he only has one son, who fell down while trying to find food in the mountains, and now needs medicine. Oh, God, he really doesn't like poor people. "As he spoke, the shopkeeper's eyes became moist, and he immediately turned his back.

"Oh, by the way, what are you guys here to buy? Our rice and noodles are very affordable. If you are going on a long journey, buy some more as a backup."

"Okay, boss, let's take a look first."

After Tian Xing'er and a few others asked about the prices of various new and old grains, rice and flour in the store, they bought some of each and went to the next store to have a look.

Tian Xing'er and his friends bought some grain from each household, almost every kind of grain, and registered the information of each grain store.

Baozhu and others marked the grain prices of each store as requested by Tian Xing'er, and made horizontal and vertical comparisons in terms of price, category, quality, freshness, store size, location, etc. They also asked people to inquire about each store's source of goods and profitability.

On the other hand, they visited several cloth shops and dyeing factories and made similar comparisons, preparing to select a suitable shop and buy it directly. If the other party is really unwilling, they will try to recruit them as franchisees. In the end, if it really doesn't work, they will open a new shop themselves.

Tian Yuheng is in charge of acquisition and other matters, while Tian Xing'er takes them to visit the surrounding villages to find suitable supply partners.

Jiang Dafu knew a little about this place, and he was the one who led the way this time. They first went to the largest town in the county, where there was a large population and large villages. If they could purchase the necessary food and hemp materials in one or two villages at a time, they would not have to go to multiple villages.

"Hey, miss, the person in front seems to be Doctor Yang. Why is he here?" As Tian Xing'er and his group just entered the town, Baozhu saw Doctor Yang in front of them, but he looked a little sneaky, looking around and no one knew what he was doing.

"Let's go and take a look." Tian Xing'er's curiosity arose again, and she took people to follow.

"Doctor Yang, why are you here? What happened?"

Doctor Yang was startled when he heard someone calling him from behind. He turned around and saw that it was Tian Xing'er and the others. He immediately changed from nervousness to a relaxed smile, "It turned out to be this benefactor lady. Thank you for your help last time. Where are you going? How about you come to my house and have a seat? I will finish my work soon and leave. How about you wait for me here for a while?"

Seeing that Doctor Yang was quite enthusiastic in greeting them, Tian Xing'er didn't hesitate to agree directly, "Doctor Yang, do you have anything to do? Can I ask someone to help you?"

"No, that's not necessary. I'll be quick. Just wait for me for a quarter of an hour or so. I'll be right back."

"Okay, we'll wait for you at the little tea stall nearby."

"Okay. Then I'll leave now. You must wait for me here. I'll be back soon." After saying this, Doctor Yang turned around and left. This time he was not as cautious as before. He just walked quickly and soon disappeared into the alley.

"Ms. Tian, ​​don't you want to go and see the village? Why do you want to go to Doctor Yang's house?" Jiang Dafu didn't quite understand what Tian Xing'er was trying to do. Didn't he help Doctor Yang before? He saw that the other party was very poor. Why did he go to his house when there was no food or drink to entertain them?

"I just want to go check out the situation and see if there's anything I can do to help. Doctor Yang seems to be from this town. He might know something more so we don't have to ask around. He was a doctor before, so he must have seen patients all over the place."

"Oh, I see." Jiang Dafu didn't have any other objections. He just asked because he didn't want to delay the trip. However, after all, he was just here to accompany them and couldn't make the decision.

Jiang Dafu took quite a while, a full quarter of an hour later than the time he had initially said.

"Miss, that's great that you're still here. I was afraid you'd left. I'm so sorry. Things have been delayed. Come on, I'll take you home now." When Doctor Yang came back, he walked very fast because he was afraid that Tian Xing'er and the others had left, but fortunately they were still there.

"Doctor Jiang, what's wrong with your face? It looks a little swollen?" Tian Xing'er stood up and saw that Doctor Jiang's right cheek seemed to have been hit and was red and swollen.

"Oh, no, I was just bitten by mosquitoes. There were a lot of insects where we just went. It's okay, let's go now." Doctor Yang was a little embarrassed and found an excuse to get away with it.

Knowing that Doctor Yang didn't tell the truth, Tian Xing'er had no choice but to pretend that she didn't know. They followed Doctor Yang for a long way before they reached his home.

"Look, my home is right in front, but it's a little small, so please bear with me, young lady." Doctor Yang then realized that his home was no longer the same as before, and he felt that bringing the other person here might make her feel uncomfortable.

"It's okay, we can stay anywhere. By the way, Doctor Yang, isn't your home in the county town? Why is it in a small town?" Tian Xing'er asked curiously.

"Yes, miss, you are right. Actually, my family used to live in a small town. We were the governor of the county before, and then we bought a small house there. Later, something happened, and although the house is still there, we moved into an old and dilapidated house, and the whole family lives there. This house in the town is my ancestral home, and I would never sell it no matter what. I only come back to take a look when I have something to do." Doctor Yang's words were a little evasive when he spoke. Tian Xing'er thought that the other party might have some unspeakable secrets, so she didn't delve into it.

"Doctor Yang, you don't have to call me Miss all the time. Just call me Xing'er. You are almost the same as my father. I should call you Uncle Yang. By the way, Uncle Yang, is the village in your town big? What do you usually grow and how is the output?"
