It's hard for my elder sister. I rely on the mountains to farm and pay off my debts.

The owner of the drugstore looked at them with disdain, looking down at them with a sarcastic smile on his face.

"Miss, what you said is ridiculous. He just fell down because he was walking unsteadily. What does it have to do with us? Don't think of using this opportunity to blackmail our pharmacy."

Zheng Hui was furious when she heard this. Her fingers trembled slightly with anger as she pointed at the shopkeeper: "You clearly wanted to forcefully buy my herbs. When my grandfather refused to comply, you secretly tripped him and made him fall!"

Seeing this, the shopkeeper sneered, "What a joke! In a pharmacy of our size, what kind of herbs don't we have?"

"I'm willing to buy your herbs, which is a blessing for you, but you're so ungrateful and keep talking nonsense here."

"I advise you not to act recklessly here. If you tarnish the reputation of my pharmacy, I'll take you to the authorities."

The shopkeeper bowed to the onlookers and sighed, "Business is tough these days. They can't sell the herbs, and they're trying to blackmail me. It's really... really..."

He tried to divert attention by inciting the emotions of the onlookers.

Most of the onlookers who didn't know the truth thought that the grandfather and grandson had come to the shop to cause trouble after hearing what the shopkeeper said.

Someone advised, "Hey, my lady, you'd better leave quickly. Be careful that the patrol officers will come soon and you will be taken to the authorities."

Just when Zheng Hui was so angry at the shopkeeper's ability to confuse right and wrong that she didn't know how to refute him.

Song Zhi stepped forward and said, "Let's go see the official. If anyone has time, please help call the street police over so we can discuss the right and wrong of this matter. This is better than the shopkeeper's slanderous words."

After saying that, without even looking at the shopkeeper, she walked over to Doctor Zheng, who was sitting on the ground, and asked with concern, "Grandpa Zheng, how are you feeling? Are you able to get up?"

Following behind Song Huan, Song Cheng also hurried forward to help pick up the herbs scattered on the ground.

Doctor Zheng, who had fallen to the ground, recovered from the dizziness and was trying to sit up.

Seeing Song Zhi coming forward to ask, he smiled and said, "It's Ah Zhi girl, thank you very much, I'm fine, just need to rest for a while."

When Zheng Hui turned around and saw that it was Song Zhi, she was slightly stunned, and then she hurried over to support her grandfather.

She was so angry just now that she was thinking about arguing with the shopkeeper and ignored her grandfather.

Zheng Hui asked with red eyes, "Grandpa, are you feeling unwell?"

Doctor Zheng patted his granddaughter's hand and said soothingly, "It's okay, just take it easy."

The shopkeeper standing on the steps saw that several people treated him as air, and started to greet them as if no one was around.

He was so calm and composed just now, but now he was about to lose his composure.

The shopkeeper snorted coldly, "My shop is not a place for you to chat about old times. Don't hang around in front of my door. Get out of here."

Song Zhi stood up and said with a forced smile, "Didn't the shopkeeper want to report it to the police? We think we should too."

"You said we were being unreasonable, but I'm going to sue you for forcing me to buy you, and then you got so angry that you pushed me to the ground. Don't you want to take responsibility?"

Now the shopkeeper's chest was heaving with anger. After he finished speaking, his face turned pale and blue.

At the same time, it also made the onlookers more excited. Everyone looked at the shopkeeper, eagerly waiting for his response.

The shopkeeper was furious and said, "That's nonsense! When did I ever force you to buy or sell? There is no herbal remedy that we don't have in our pharmacy..."

Song Zhi raised the corners of her lips and interrupted the shopkeeper's next words.

"Whether there's forced buying or selling, my words don't count. Just tell me, how much do you want for this basket of herbs?"

The shopkeeper was speechless after being questioned by Song Zhi. How could he say this?

If he said this, wouldn't it be proving that he was forcing the sale?

Seeing that he remained silent, Song Zhi sneered and said, "Let me guess, is it one cent? Or two cents?"

The onlookers were instantly shocked. Even if it was a herbal medicine they didn't recognize, the common people had bought and taken medicine before. How could this full basket of herbs be worth only a penny?

Everyone's eyes changed instantly when they looked at the shopkeeper. Isn't this forced buying and selling? Then what is it?

The shopkeeper felt uneasy, but he also knew that he could never admit this.

He forced himself to take a deep breath and said, "Don't talk nonsense! When did I ever say I would only pay one penny?"

Seeing the shopkeeper's denial, Zheng Hui was about to confront him, but the old man next to her pulled down her sleeve and signaled her to calm down with his eyes.

Sure enough, Song Zhi continued to pursue the matter relentlessly, asking, "Oh? How much did the shopkeeper offer? My sister doesn't want to sell you. Why don't you tell me a figure so we can all judge who's right and who's wrong?"

The shopkeeper's face turned pale and blue, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He looked around and found that the crowd was talking a lot, and most people had doubts and dissatisfaction in their eyes.

He cursed himself in his heart for being greedy and getting into such trouble.

But now that things have come to this, he can only bite the bullet and continue to argue: "This is our industry secret, why should I tell you?"

"Go away, go away! Stop making trouble here and delaying my business."

After saying this, he called the medicine boy in the shop to chase the man away.

Song Zhi stood in front of the grandfather and grandson, unmoved, and said in a strong voice: "Today, someone fell in your pharmacy. If you don't give me an explanation, I will go to the county government to demand an explanation."

Song Zhi was so adamant that the other medicine boys didn't dare to rush the people away.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps came from afar, and several officers in official uniforms walked through the crowd, obviously they had heard the notice and rushed over.

The officer in charge was none other than the dark-faced officer Li Wen. He led the group to the door of the pharmacy and asked in a deep voice, "Disperse! Disperse! Why are you all gathered here?"

Song Zhi was not afraid at all. She stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Sir, this pharmacy tried to force someone to buy herbal medicine but failed, so they deliberately pushed someone to the ground. Now the shop owner is refusing to take responsibility. Please, Sir, help me."

Upon hearing this, the officer first glanced at Song Zhi. This girl was still so eloquent.

He raised his hand to stop Song Zhi from saying anything, then looked at Doctor Zheng who was sitting on the ground.

His eyes darted back and forth between the two of them, finally landing on the shopkeeper. He said sternly, "You, do you have anything to say?"

The shopkeeper was startled, knowing that today's matter would not end well.

He had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Officer, please understand. I... I just had some misunderstandings with these two people."

Li Wen raised his eyebrows and asked frivolously, "Misunderstanding?"

He pointed at Zheng Hui, whose eyes were red, and said, "You speak."

Zheng Hui was already feeling aggrieved, and now that someone had come to speak for them, she told them everything that had just happened, no matter how big or small.
