After living a new life for my neighbor's grandmother, I traveled through the book again

Yang Jiqiu may not have been with his second brother Yang Jixia for too long. Even though he has already grown up, he still treats himself as a child, thinking that if he can have a fight with Yang Jixia, his wishes will come true.

If it were something else, or if Yang Jixia didn't have a hidden identity, she might really get what she wanted. After all, Yang Jixia felt that he owed his family, so his bottom line in treating them was very low, or even no bottom line. Otherwise, he would not have allowed his illiterate niece to become a public official in his previous life.

Or maybe now that we are in a peaceful period, considering the impact, there may be some effect.

But at this moment, her throwing a tantrum could only prompt Yang Jixia to send her away as soon as possible to prevent her from affecting the execution of subsequent tasks.

So, when Tong Jia saw Yang Jixia and Guo Xin coming down from upstairs with gloomy faces, she knew that the trouble with Yang Jiqiu would be solved soon.

Not wanting to get too involved in the Yang family's affairs, she told Tian's mother one thing: to keep an eye on Pan'er and her daughter.

She took Tao Junle out to get some quiet time.

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is approaching, and there are more people on the streets, slowly returning to their original bustle.

It was because it was lively that Tong Jia started going out.

After all, it is easier to fish in troubled waters when there are more people.

We know that comrades on long-distance marches are in urgent need of various medicines. The government has restrictions on this, and it is difficult to purchase through formal channels. Purchasing directly from pharmaceutical factories also requires the factory owners to bear great risks.

So, Tong Jia plans to purchase the goods herself.

In addition to pouring out and packaging the good medicines in the RV's medicine box every day, Tong Jia also took the opportunity to seek medical treatment and medicine for Pan'er's daughter to inquire about the supply channels of different hospitals and pharmacies.

If Tong Jia encounters a hospital or pharmacy run by foreigners, especially those with the purpose of making money, he will not be polite.

Most of the stock in the RV was sent to the comrades on the long-distance march, and now there is plenty of space to store medicines and corresponding medical facilities.

The first hospital they went to was the Fuso Tongren Hospital. The predecessor of this hospital was a Western church hospital, which was later occupied by people from Fuso.

Those who can afford medical treatment here are basically foreigners. Chinese people rarely appear here, and the doctors here speak English and Japanese languages more often.

So, after Tong Jia finished talking to the doctor about Pan'er's daughter's condition, she started walking around the hospital.

She and Tao Junle didn't communicate, she just listened to other people's gossip and then searched carefully on her own.

He quickly found the medicine warehouse in the hospital, because while strolling around the hospital, he had confirmed that there were basically no Chinese patients hospitalized in this hospital. There were only two or three, and they were the lackeys of the Japanese. Tong Jia would not feel guilty at all for cutting off the medicine for these people.

So, with the cooperation of Tao Junle, Tong Jia not only took away all the medicines in the medicine warehouse, but also took away the medicines on display in the hospital pharmacy.

After checking in at this hospital, she immediately took Tao Junle to the next hospital - Dahua Hospital.

This hospital is also a church hospital. Although it is not directly controlled by the Japanese on the surface, there is actually not much difference.

It’s just that the fees here are relatively low, and some Chinese people with relatively wealthy families will occasionally come here to see a doctor.

Therefore, when Tong Jia collected the medicines from this hospital, he was a little more reserved. He only took the ones in the warehouse and left the ones in the pharmacy untouched.

After they did the same to three more hospitals, the entire provincial capital was placed under martial law.

The two of them leisurely bought a lot of delicious food from the market. After they strolled back home slowly, their good mood that was originally full of harvests was gone.

The reason was simple. Not only had Yang Jiqiu and his men not left yet, but even Boss Zhang and his six daughters had come with their men.

Both sides were standing outside the shop sign that had just been hung with the words "Yang's Baozi Shop" and confronting each other. Tong Jia saw this situation of neither side giving in from afar, and after cursing them inwardly as "troublemakers", she had no choice but to walk forward.

She walked over to Yang Jixia and asked, "What happened?"

Before Yang Jixia could say anything, Yang Jiqiu crawled to Tong Jia's side and begged, "Second sister-in-law, please, save me, Second sister-in-law, they want to take me back to Zhang's house, I can't go back with them, if they take me back, I will be beaten to death.

Second sister-in-law, please, please save me!"

Tong Jia glanced at Yang Jixia, then glanced at the expressions of everyone on his side, especially Guo Xin and Diao Ren.

One of them sighed helplessly, and the other shook her head slightly. Tong Jia, who knew what was going on, took a step back and kept a certain distance from Yang Ji Qiu. This way, even if Yang Ji Qiu got angry and wanted to hurt her, she would have some room to buffer.

Then he asked, "Your second brother has been here the whole time. Wouldn't it be more convenient to ask him if you have any questions? I just came back from outside, and I haven't figured out what happened yet. What's the point of you begging me?"

"Money, second sister-in-law, just give them money. They said they can set me free if you give me money!" Yang Jiqiu said as he crawled towards Tong Jia.

There were people all behind Tong Jia, and she had nowhere to retreat. She had to change her strategy and instead of retreating, she turned around and walked directly towards the direction where the Zhang family was standing.

Yang Jiqiu didn't dare to get close to the Zhang family, so he just sat down where he was.

When Tong Jia was walking towards Zhang's house, she looked for Pan'er and her daughter in the crowd, but found nothing.

She walked directly to Boss Zhang, pointed at Yang Jiqiu, who was slumped on the ground, and asked, "Did you beat her so hard that she couldn't stand up?"

"Oh! She has a disease. Beating her would only dirty our own hands. Who knows what kind of spineless person she is. She has the guts to steal our money but doesn't have the guts to face us.

I heard that your store was hastily renovated during the Chinese New Year. Did she give you all the money she stole?

You can go and ask around. My father Zhang Furen’s name is known to everyone in the entire provincial capital.

If you guys know what's good for you, just hand over all the money. We won't pursue any responsibility from you, and we won't even take that dirty woman Yang Jiqiu away.

But if she doesn't know what's good for her and isn't willing to hand over the money she stole, then you can't blame us.

See those guys back there? They're all really good fighters. Even the wrestling tricks on the overpass can't beat him.

And he, he had fought for the country with Marshal Duan.

The consequences of not knowing how to appreciate favors are that your shop will be smashed, you will be beaten to a disability, and you will be thrown out of the provincial capital to fend for yourself.

Anyway, this shop was bought with our Zhang family's money." Mr. Zhang didn't say anything, but a girl with a long thick braid standing next to him spoke.

Tong Jia admired this girl very much. Although she spoke aggressively, she was frank and honest. She was much more likable than Yang Jiqiu who lay on the ground pretending to be weak.

She smiled and said, "Is this Miss Zhang? I agree with what you just said and I think it makes sense.

But the premise for you to smash the store is that the money we used to buy and renovate the store was indeed given to us by Yang Jiqiu. So whether our store was smashed or we were beaten, we deserved it.

But isn’t that the truth?

Since you just praised your family so highly, it is unique in the provincial capital.

Then you should investigate when we arrived in the provincial capital and when we started to take over the shops.

Before coming to the provincial capital, where did we develop and what business did we do?

Also, how did you get to know Yang Jiqiu? Did you meet him before taking over the store? How many times did you meet him?

It shouldn't be difficult for your Zhang family, who has influence in the provincial capital, to investigate these small matters, right?

You have power, and we have foundations too.

Our store has not officially opened yet, and we will have to open the door to do business later.

When it comes to business, harmony brings wealth, and violence is better avoided, Miss Zhang, don't you agree?"

The Zhang family should have investigated Tong Jia and Yang Jixia before coming, but due to time constraints and underdeveloped transportation between the provincial capital and Shanghai and Jiangcheng, they may not have fully grasped a lot of information.

Now after hearing what Tong Jia said, I began to doubt the accuracy of the information I had received before.

Miss Zhang looked at Tong Jia, then at her father. When she didn't get a response from her father, she turned her gaze back to Tong Jia.

She asked, "So what do you mean? Are you going to let Yang Jiqiu, that bitch, go free for nothing?"

Tong Jia didn't answer. She turned around and glanced at Yang Jiqiu and asked, "Where are Pan'er and her daughter who are with you?"

Yang Jiqiu cried and said, "She ran away. It was that bitch who told the Zhang family about my whereabouts. She must have been bribed by the Zhang family and took their money to do this.

I'm so good to her, thinking about all the good things..."

Before Yang Jiqiu could finish, Tong Jia interrupted, "Okay, who can you blame for not being able to judge people?"

Then she turned back to look at Miss Zhang and asked, "Do you agree with this, Miss Zhang?"

Miss Zhang didn't say anything, didn't admit it, but didn't deny it either.

Tong Jia continued, "Since Pan'er tipped us off, Miss Zhang should have some understanding of our situation. I dare not say more, but at least you all know where the money for our store purchase and renovation came from, and whether it has anything to do with your Zhang family.

So let’s not dwell on this issue.

As the saying goes, 'every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor.' Yang Jiqiu took the things, but you didn't ask Yang Jiqiu for them, but instead asked us for them. That's a bit unreasonable, isn't it?

No matter what, Yang Jiqiu has been with your father for a while. They're still acquaintances, so giving him a few days' grace should be possible, right?"

Miss Zhang said: "She doesn't want to return the money at all. If we give her face, we will lose face.

If you, as her brother and sister-in-law, don't pay off her debts, we will take her away and make her work to pay off the debt.

As for what a woman with a vaginal illness can do to pay back the money, would you consider it..."

Tong Jia laughed and said, "What does it have to do with us what she does to pay back the money?

Miss Zhang just said that we are just her brother and sister-in-law, not her parents, nor her only brother and sister-in-law.

You may not know that after I married into the Yang family, I only lived there for three days. During these three days, I did not have a good impression of this sister-in-law.

I wouldn't go bankrupt to pay off debts just for a sister-in-law who is unkind to me, right?

Her second brother has no money, so you don't have to worry about him. I have the final say on this matter."

Tong Jia directly rejected Yang Jiqiu's idea of asking Yang Jixia for help, and at the same time, she winked at Guo Xin, asking him to take Yang Jixia away.

Yang Jixia was pulled by Guo Xin, but didn't move. He looked at Miss Zhang, then at Yang Jiqiu, and asked, "Xiaoqiu, tell me the truth. Did you take the Zhang family's money? If not, let's talk it out, and I'll help you find the real culprit. If you did, how much did you take?"

He didn't dare to ask for help to pay it back.

He really had no money. The money from Guo Xin and Tian Ma was the activity funds for the mission, and there was not much left, so he couldn't use it to pay back his sister.

Tong Jia has money, but she has no right to pay back the debt for her sister.

Therefore, Yang Jixia could only ask Yang Jiqiu how much he had taken from him, and then use the amount of money to determine how to discuss the matter later.

But after asking this question, Yang Jiqiu felt that his second brother was ready to help him fill the hole.

She immediately said, "Not much, second brother, I didn't take much. The first time I took a large yellow croaker, I exchanged it for money to see a doctor and buy medicine, but it was gone after only half a month.

The second time, in order to completely cure the disease, I took three large yellow croakers.

But Pan'er knew about it and took one from me. I felt it was not enough, so I took two more.

And, there is the last time.

It was the time I heard from Pan'er that she saw you on the overpass and I came to find you.

I thought that since you were here to protect me, I would never go back to the Zhang family, so I took a little more this time, I took... I took ten big yellow croakers.

There were only sixteen large yellow croakers in total, no, that’s not right, fifteen large yellow croakers, and one of them was given to Pan’er.”

Yang Jixia tried hard to take a deep breath to keep slapping Yang Jiqiu in the face.

He then asked, "How much do you have left? Take it all out."

Yang Jiqiu lowered his head and stammered, "No more, all gone.

It’s all that bitch He Paner’s fault. She said I go out often and she needs to look after the kids, so I asked her to keep the big yellow croakers for me.

But she... not only did she betray me and tell the Zhang family about me, she also stole all my yellow croakers. Second brother, I have nothing now.

If you don’t help me, I’ll have no way to survive, wuwu…”

Yang Jixia closed his eyes helplessly. When Guo Xin pulled him away again, he did not resist and followed Guo Xin away from the scene.

Tong Jia and Guo Xin worked very well together and said, "Miss Zhang, you can see that if our family had so much gold, let alone big yellow croaker, even small yellow croaker, we couldn't just open a bun shop.

We really can't do anything about the money Yang Jiqiu owes you.

You can take the person away. As long as you don't cause us any trouble, we have no objection.

After all, we have all started our own families and careers. We are just relatives. There is no need to go bankrupt to help our relatives pay off their debts."

This statement is heartless, but it is also impossible to refute.

The Zhang family members all looked at Miss Zhang. Miss Zhang asked the two people she had just pointed out to knock out Yang Jiqiu, who was lying on the ground, and then carry him away.

After looking at Tong Jia again, he left without looking back.

Tong Jia winked at Diao Ren, asking him to follow, and then she quickly returned to the store.
