The mistress of a marquis's family divorced her husband and married someone else: the scumbag&#

After a lot of trouble, the guy who prepared the medicine used the silver he had pawned to replenish the missing herbs.

Zhong Huai watched these beloved things slip away from him and his face turned blue with anger.

Li Er looked at this scene and did not forget to add fuel to the fire. He took the initiative to step forward and asked with concern, "Manager Zhong, why do you look unwell? What happened?"

When Zhong Huai saw Li Er coming, his eyes burned with fire and he wished he could eat him.

"How dare you say that!"

"Everyone is busy at the free clinic today. Who gave you the guts to be lazy?"

Zhong Huai was furious and shouted at Li Er, "Do you still have respect for me as your shopkeeper?"

Li Er was very happy in his heart, but he looked puzzled. "Look at what you said, Shopkeeper Zhong. Since I call you shopkeeper, I must have some respect in my eyes."

"It's just that the matter of counting silver is of great importance, so I dare not slack off."

Hearing about silver, Zhong Huai's expression eased a little and he held out his hand, "Where are the silver?"

"What?" Li Er asked again.

Zhong Huai took a deep breath. There were other people in the clinic, so he tried to tell himself to stay calm.

He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, "Aren't you responsible for counting the money that came into the account?"

Li Er suddenly realized, "So this is what Manager Zhong was talking about. The silver, including the statistical amount, has just been sent to Madam."

"Who asked you to make your own decisions?"

Zhong Huai wanted to ask more questions, but he saw the waiter coming back again and said guiltily, "Boss, we don't have enough herbs again."

"I'm not"

Realizing that Li Er was still there, Zhong Huai stopped talking and gave a firm order, "Take out the statistics at the back and purchase the missing medicinal materials."

Zhong Huai glanced at the people outside. There was still a long queue of people waiting to get medicine. The ones in front had their medicine delivered to his wife, so there would always be more behind.

He had pawned all the valuables he had on him, and had no choice but to use his small stash of cash to get more.

Li Er spread his hands helplessly, "I'm afraid not."

"You dare not listen to me?"

"It's unfair, boss. Madam said that no one is allowed to touch the money until the free clinic is over."

"How about Manager Zhong, why don't you go and discuss this with Madam?"

Before Zhong Huai was about to lose his temper, Li Er exclaimed, "Shopkeeper, let's not talk about it for now. Those people who come to pay for medicine are here again. I have to get busy."

This Li Er!

The clerk who was dispensing the medicine was stunned. He just thought of the people and asked again, "What should we do now, shopkeeper?"

Zhong Huai was so angry that his teeth itched, "You wait here, I'll go ask the lady what she means!"

He has the support of Old Madam Chu behind him, so why would he be afraid of a little lady?

"Ma'am, are you in there?"

Hearing the noise outside, Ye Qingluo knew that some people could not sit still.

"Come in."

Ye Qingluo glanced at the person who came in and asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhong Huaiyu was choked, but when he thought that he would have to make up for the missing medicinal materials if he couldn't get the money he received, he made up his mind.

"Madam, we are running out of medicinal materials in the clinic. Can you use the silver you received today to buy some?"

"Profit?"

Ye Qingluo was puzzled, "But didn't you say that today's treatment was free? Why are you charging money from the people?"

"Zhong Huai, are you using your mother's name to do some fraudulent things?"

"There's nothing."

Zhong Huai became anxious when he heard this. He did have selfish motives in offering free medical treatment. Besides, Old Madam Chu never went out of the house on weekdays, so she would not care even if something went wrong.

But if Ye Qingluo were to expose the matter, the nature of the matter would change.

"It's unfair, Madam. How dare I do such a thing in the name of the old lady? I don't charge money from the people for free clinics, but I still have to pay for the medicine. However, it's all voluntary and not mandatory."

"If I remember correctly, you have been in charge of the clinic. For such a big event as the free clinic, shouldn't you explain to me the shortage of medicinal materials?"

"Manager Zhong, are you neglecting your duties?"

"Then I'll have to talk to my mother about it when I get back."

Ye Qingluo's words left Zhong Huai speechless, "Madam, you also know what I did yesterday."

"Are you blaming me?"

Ye Qingluo's eyes darkened, and the aura around him made people tremble with fear.

Zhong Huai quickly shook his head, "No, no."

Since Li Er threw away those rotten and moldy medicinal herbs, there is a high possibility that his wife knew about it.

He'd better be careful.

"Madam, I just want to say that we don't have enough medicinal materials. I am just the shopkeeper. After all, the clinic is still yours. It would be bad if we let all those people gather here and something goes wrong."

Ye Qingluo sneered, stood up, and replied, "Zhong Huai, you are wrong about one thing."

"It's true that the clinic is mine, but I didn't know about this free clinic. You've been in charge of this shop for so long, how come you don't even have the money to buy the most basic medicinal materials?"

Zhong Huai gritted his teeth. Even though he was slow-witted, he understood the hidden meaning behind Ye Qingluo's words.

Don’t touch the money entered into today’s account. Let him figure it out on his own, otherwise I will be derelict in my duty.

But all the money earned during this period went into his pocket and was given to make the beautiful lady smile. The actual amount left in the clinic was probably less than one hundred taels.

"Manager Zhong." Ye Qingluo's tone changed, and he said meaningfully, "Free clinics are a good thing to do good deeds and accumulate virtue. If you want to do it, you must see it through to the end."

"Otherwise the old lady will be unhappy if she finds out."

Zhong Huai's face turned pale, he finally learned what it meant to shoot oneself in the foot. But he didn't dare to complain. If the matter got out of hand, the clinic would not investigate.

"Young one, I know."

Looking at Zhong Huai's face as if he had swallowed a fly, he took out the account books again after the people left.

The fun has just begun.

The guys waiting outside were extremely anxious. Just now, some of the waiting people had become impatient and started making a fuss, but Li Er insisted that the money could not be touched without his wife's order.

Seeing Zhong Huai coming out, he asked urgently, "Boss, has the Madam agreed?"

Li Er, who was not far away, was also paying attention to the situation here.

Zhong Huai's face turned extremely dark. In desperation, he took out a pendant from his body. This was the one he was going to give to the top girl in Chunhua Pavilion.

But if the current problem is not solved, I will be the one who suffers. I gritted my teeth and said, "Take this as a gift. Also, tell those people that the free clinic is over today and don't treat them anymore!"

The waiter was about to take it, but saw Zhong Huai still holding on to it.

"Shopkeeper, what are you doing?"

Zhong Huai's heart was bleeding, but he still let go. Li Er burst out laughing. He never expected that this shopkeeper Zhong would end up like this.

"Are you gloating?"

Noticing the smile on Li Er's face, Zhong Huai's anger grew.

"No."

Li Er shook his head, lowered his head and continued to fiddle with the abacus in his hand, and added.

"Manager Zhong, do you know that this free clinic brought in nearly 500 taels in revenue just in the morning?"
