“Clang! ”
The harsh sound of metal striking echoed, as Aunt Mei rhythmically pounded the bottom of the metal basin with a metal spoon. Simultaneously, she elongated her voice and shouted, “The pharmacy’s medicine is killing people! The pharmacy’s medicine is killing people!”
Aunt Mei’s actions quickly grabbed the attention of many villagers. While Mei Lian and the hired workers were on their way to the pharmacy with the straw mats, a group of villagers followed along.
After falling ill, Ah Hui’s weight had rapidly decreased to less than 70 pounds. Mei Lian and the hired worker found it effortless to carry her.
As Mei Lian observed her grandmother knocking on the iron basin and shouting, her expression remained stiff.
Had Mei Lian just recently married into Aunt Mei’s family, she would have found this situation embarrassing.
However, Mei Lian had spent many years in Aunt Mei’s household and had grown accustomed to her mother-in-law’s ways.
During a previous incident when Aunt Mei had sought the witch doctor’s help for Ah Hui, the house had been filled with onlookers. Those people had looked at their family with a mixture of excitement and curiosity.
From that time onward, Mei Lian’s sense of shame had completely dissipated.
She was Aunt Mei’s daughter-in-law, a fact known to everyone. Even if Mei Lian felt embarrassed by her mother-in-law’s actions, what was the point? They remained an inseparable family.
The group approached the pharmacy entrance cheerfully. With the sun shining brightly at noon, some passersby paused upon seeing the crowd at the pharmacy entrance. Intrigued, they curiously approached to witness the commotion.
Aunt Mei stood at the pharmacy door, raised her foot, and forcefully kicked open the pharmacy door.
Hearing the disturbance at the door, Ye Ling and Yun Jie came out of the house and stood in the courtyard.
“What are you doing?” Yun Jie asked, furrowing her brow.
Aunt Mei sneered. “You still dare to ask us what we are doing?”
Aunt Mei turned her head, giving Mei Lian and the worker a signal. The worker untied the rope on the straw mat, and the rolled-up straw mat quickly unfurled, revealing the thin and frail Ah Hui.
Upon seeing Ah Hui’s pallid face, the onlookers gasped and took a couple of steps back in fear.
“This is my daughter-in-law. A few days ago, my son bought medicine from your pharmacy. After he went back and gave it to my daughter-in-law, her condition worsened!” Aunt Mei declared, hands on her hips. Spittle flew from her mouth, and her expression was fierce.
“Also, you b*tch, your name is Ye Ling, right? Did you deliberately come to my house yesterday to seduce my son? Then, did you go into the woodshed to see my daughter-in-law? This is a button that fell off your clothes. Don’t even think about denying it!” Aunt Mei took out a button and displayed it to the people around.
Seeing that everyone around had seen it clearly, Aunt Mei put away the button and continued, “In the end, my daughter-in-law died right after you left the woodshed! What did you do to her?”
Ye Ling listened expressionlessly.
After Aunt Mei finished speaking, the people around them started discussing. For a moment, the entrance of the pharmacy seemed to be blocked by a swarm of bees, and the atmosphere was a little tense.
“I didn’t do anything,” Ye Ling replied calmly.
Ye Ling’s reaction was within Aunt Mei’s expectations. She knew that Ye Ling would not admit it so easily.
Aunt Mei sneered. “Of course, you won’t admit it. You seduced my son and did such a shameless thing. Are you going to admit that you killed my daughter-in-law? Where’s the person in charge of your pharmacy? Let her out! I want her to give me an explanation!”
Yun Jie frowned as she listened. She stood in front of Ye Ling and looked at Aunt Mei coldly. “Your son came to get the medicine. Our pharmacy has records. The medicine in the pharmacy can’t be poisonous unless there’s a problem with the prescription. Why are you looking for us instead of finding trouble with the person who wrote the prescription?”
“My daughter-in-law’s condition is getting worse because she took the medicine from your pharmacy. If you don’t take responsibility, who will? Also, on the day of getting the medicine, this woman even followed us to our house and said that she wanted to remind us about the dosage. Oh, I understand now. At that time, you wanted to seduce my son, right?” Aunt Mei glared at Ye Ling like a shrew.
When the onlookers heard this, they found it unbelievable.
They knew that Aunt Mei’s son was Ma Biao, but Ma Biao’s conditions were not that good. The pharmacy administrator in front of them, Ye Ling, looked very beautiful.. What was so hard for a young girl to do that she wanted to seduce Ma Biao?
