Volume 2, Chapter 108: Blackmail

After a few days, Dongming Ziyu's words came true, and no shop in the county town sold them raw materials.

Inspector Wu went to ask, but the owner of the shop was evasive, saying that it was someone from the county magistrate who had hinted that if they sold things to the owner, they would not be able to open their shop.

Inspector Wu asked: "Can you sell it to me?"

The shopkeeper said in embarrassment: "Boss Wu, can you not embarrass the shop?"

Inspector Wu waved his hand and did not embarrass the shopkeeper. He was only a junior official from the ninth rank, and he could not compete with the county magistrate, the second-in-command in the county. He mobilized his men and asked their family members to buy some each, and the little they accumulated made up a lot.

Send it to Dongming Ziyu and the others.

Jiang Hongda heard about it, bought a lot of raw materials they needed, and secretly delivered them to them.

However, making pastries requires a lot of raw materials, and you have to buy them frequently. You can't rely on them to buy them secretly every time. If you can't buy them in Liulin County, you can go farther away and buy them in other counties.

After such an experience, the Dongzhou family realized the importance of power and had greater expectations for Dongming Ziyu.

Boss Xu was not idle either, he sent people to contact several people from the boss's house, and tried to inquire about prescriptions overtly or covertly, but all of them were turned away.

Shangguan Ruoli went to the mountain to collect medicine, but was also beaten by Jiang Haoguang's wife. According to her violent temper, she almost drugged these shameless bastards to death.

But there is no boss Xu, there are bosses Zhou, Boss Cai, no county magistrate, and other powerful people. As long as you have money but no power, there will always be people who want to bully you.

The words "power, money, officialdom and business" are not for nothing. Without the protection of rights, making more money will be a disaster. Officials are not supported by businessmen. Not to mention those private affairs, who will provide money and help in disaster years? Repair water conservancy,

Who do you rely on to generate tax revenue?

Therefore, it is fundamental to improve one's own rights and status.

Shangguan Ruoli taught the children to study even more severely. If they couldn't memorize well, they would be punished with push-ups and frog jumps. The little ones realized that when she was angry, she was even scarier than Dongming Ziyu, so they all cheered up.

Because Shiro was studying medicine, he spent all his energy on memorizing the pharmacopoeia, so he was a little perfunctory when it came to writing big characters.

Shangguan Ruoli was even more strict with his apprentices. While preparing the herbal medicine, he counted Shiro while he was doing push-ups.

Sun was holding Liu Lang and watching Shi Lang being punished. She felt very distressed. She came over angrily and said, "Brother and sister! It's almost done! Shi Lang is studying medicine with you. He can't write big characters well. What's the big deal?"

Shangguan Ruoli didn't even look at her, and said calmly: "As agreed at the beginning, if the child studies medicine with me, he must listen to me."

Mrs. Sun said in a weird tone: "Don't you feel bad if my feelings are not your son! Is there anyone who abuses a child like this?"

Shangguan Ruoli was so annoyed by Sun that he turned his head and asked Silang who was doing push-ups, "If Silang thinks your mother is right, don't study medicine with me."

Shiro didn't dare to stop doing push-ups. He gritted his teeth and said to Sun, "Mom! If you don't understand, just leave me alone!"

When Mrs. Sun heard this, her face turned red with anger, and she said angrily: "I don't understand? I am your mother, and I love you! You heartless white-eyed wolf! I raised you for nothing! You treat yourself as someone else's son.

never mind!"

She was originally unwilling for Shiro to study medicine and wanted him to take the imperial examination. Shiro insisted on studying and his family supported him, so she tolerated it. Who knows, as Shiro continued to study, he no longer saw her as a mother! Listen to him

As for the fourth aunt, I wish I could call him my fourth aunt!

When Mr. Sun scolded his son, Shangguan Ruoli couldn't say anything. When he concocted his own herbal medicine, he just thought Mr. Sun was farting.

After doing enough push-ups, Shiro got up and ran towards the main room, "Milk! Milk! You take care of my mother! My mother..."

Alright, alright, before anyone arrived, I explained the whole story clearly and logically.

In this family, Mrs. Sun was afraid of Mrs. Qian, and her face turned pale all of a sudden.

He said to Shangguan Ruoli bitterly: "You taught me all this. If you don't teach me well, I will sue you!"

Shangguan Ruoli said with a smile: "My apprentice is so smart! Fortunately, I didn't inherit your brain!"

"Idiot! You stupid thing!" Mrs. Qian didn't leave the house, but she was already yelling with confidence, "Wu Lang is not strict with your child, is it possible that she will be happy just because she doesn't care about you? It's not specifically punishing Si Lang.

Any other child who disobeys will also be punished! Are you crazy?"

Mrs. Sun murmured: "Mom, I just feel sorry for Shiro..."

"You feel so bad!" Old Mrs. Qian interrupted her, "Why didn't you think about Wu Lang when you were secretly eating milk? Why didn't you think about Wu Lang when you were making new clothes? Don't think that I don't know what's going on in your pig's head.

What? You idiot!"

There were many people in the yard, those who came to get peeled dried fruits and those who handed over dried nuts. They all said that Mr. Sun was wrong.

Sun's face turned red with embarrassment. Seeing that Mrs. Qian was pinching her waist and ready to scold her endlessly, she quickly pinched Liu Lang.

Rokuro was eating his fingers and watching the excitement. He was stunned for a moment in pain and suddenly burst into tears.

Mrs. Sun hurriedly patted the child, "Hey, he must be hungry. Mom, I went into the house to nurse the child!"

With that said, he trotted all the way into his house.

Mrs. Qian snorted coldly and scolded Dong Youyin who was weighing the peanuts: "Look what kind of woman you married! She is lazy, greedy, lazy, ignorant, and as thick-skinned as a city wall!"

You didn't listen to me at the beginning, so you had to marry this house-ruiner! After so many years in the house, you still can't control her, is it my son? If you don't teach her well again, let her go away, don't teach my two grandsons badly!

"

"I know, mother! I'll teach her a lesson when I have time!" Dong Youyin's face turned livid with shame and anger, and he lowered his head while working.

He is also a man. I don’t know how to save face for him when I scold myself in front of so many people!

As everyone knows, Mrs. Qian doesn't regard these people as outsiders at all. We all used to live in the same village and fled all the way. We have all seen each other in the most embarrassing state. There is no shame in scolding her son.

Having enough food and clothing means being honest and shameless. Shangguan Ruoli knew that he was no longer on the road to escape from poverty. Now that he had a family and a career, he should take care of his face.

He stopped the old lady Qian who was still cursing and said, "Mom, Ling Yue made you a pair of socks. Come and see if you like them."

When Mrs. Qian heard this, she immediately laughed and laughed with everyone: "Oh! That child Siya just learned how to do needlework, so she made socks for me."

Everyone complimented her very much and praised her for her good fortune and her filial children and grandchildren.

Suddenly, there was the sound of rapid horse hooves outside the door, and it suddenly stopped at the door.

Wu Wenhui hurried in and was surprised to see so many people in the yard.

Mrs. Qian knew something was wrong as soon as she saw her anxious and pale face, and hurriedly called to her, "My daughter is here, hurry up, come in and talk."

Wu Wenhui gave Shangguan Ruoli a look and hurriedly followed Mrs. Qian into the house.

Shangguan Ruoli put down the medicinal materials in his hand and followed him into the house. He heard Wu Wenhui say: "Someone went to the dim sum shop to cause trouble and carried a dead man. He must have been poisoned by eating our dim sum."

Shangguan Ruoli's face darkened and he said, "I'll go take a look!"

Mrs. Qian ran out of the house long ago, her voice cracking: "Si'er! Si'er! Hurry up, someone is going to our dim sum shop to blackmail you!"
