The group walked towards another shop on Scholar Street.

No matter how big or small the tavern was, it couldn’t satisfy Su Xiaoxiao.

“Can you still walk?” Su Xiaoxiao asked the three little ones.

The three little ones nodded. “I can walk!”

So the group went to Long Stream Street again.

They looked at the wine cellar first. The moment they opened the door, the smell of strong alcohol a.s.saulted their noses.

Xiaohu covered his nose exaggeratedly. “It stinks!”

Erhu stuck out his tongue. “I’m going to faint!”

Broker Li was amused by the children.

He was not worried that the children’s reaction would affect today’s business because the wine cellar was not suitable at all. He dared to bet that the girl would not choose.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Physician Fu. “What do you think?”

Physician Fu cleared his throat. “Ahem, let’s go to the next shop.”

The remaining two shops were still open. One was in the tea business, and the other sold cloth. It was indeed cheaper than the pharmacy, but it was a little far from home. In addition, the layout was not suitable and hard to illuminate.

Su Xiaoxiao asked Physician Fu, “Which shop do you like the most?”

Physician Fu looked at Broker Li, who was teasing the three little ones not far away, and said in a low voice, “The price of the tea shop is the most suitable.”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Put aside the price.”

Physician Fu thought to himself, “Is she so arrogant now?

“The first one.” he said truthfully.

Su Xiaoxiao nodded. “Alright, the first one it is.”

No, was it that good?

Was, was this a decision?

The rent was 100 taels a month!

How many patients did he have to see to cover the cost?

Physician Fu practiced medicine in town and treated the poor more often. He usually could not make ends meet. Not to mention a hundred taels, it was already Amitabha if he could earn seven to eight taels a month.

In his opinion, even if the consultation fees and medicine fees in the capital could be more expensive than the ones in town, he would not earn more than 100 taels.

“Is… is this bad? The medical center is next door… Are we s.n.a.t.c.hing business?”

“Didn’t Benevolence Hall also s.n.a.t.c.h the business of the pharmacy when they opened the medical center?”

Physician Fu was speechless.

Su Xiaoxiao walked over and said to Broker Li, “Ask the owner of the pharmacy out. Let’s negotiate a price.”

Su Xiaoxiao was a decisive person. If she could resolve it today, she would definitely not delay it until tomorrow.

After bidding with the owner of the pharmacy for two hours, they finally bought the shop for 6,000 taels.

She took 60% of the 2,000 taels of silver that Su MO gave her. The other 40% was for Physician Fu. She added the 3,000 taels of silver that Wei Ting gave her. Before she left, Su Yuniang gave her 1,000 taels of silver and there was the money she had earned from making snacks over the past few days.

Su Xiaoxiao finished calculating. “I’m still short of 600 taels.”

Physician Fu took out the consultation fee that Su Xiaoxiao had given him without a word.

A total of 800 taels were given to Su Xiaoxiao.

Just as both sides were about to sign the contract, there was a small interlude.

Qin Yanran was here.

She appeared with the daughter of the Court Commissioner, Hu Biyun. She saw Su Xiaoxiao in the lobby of the pharmacy.

“I’ll go say h.e.l.lo,” she said to Hu Biyun.

“I’ll go say h.e.l.lo,” she said to Hu Biyun.

Hu Biyun frowned slightly. The two of them were cla.s.smates in the palace academy and were aunt and niece in private. If anyone had to greet them, it should be Miss Su.

People from the countryside really did not know the rules.

Hu Biyun was not interested in why Su Xiaoxiao appeared in a closed pharmacy.

“What? You want to buy this shop and open a medical center?” Qin Yanran exclaimed.

“Who is this girl?” Broker Li asked.

“I don’t know her well,” Su Xiaoxiao said calmly.

She took the pen and was about to sign it.

Qin Yanran dissuaded, “Do you know what you’re doing? Don’t take the money Uncle gave you and spend it outside…”

Physician Fu frowned.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Qin Yanran mockingly. “How do you know the money was given to me?”

Qin Yanran asked, “Isn’t that so? Where did you get the money yourself?”

Physician Fu was famous for his good temper, but at this moment, he couldn’t help but flare up. “Miss Qin, please be careful with your words!”

He had seen with his own eyes how this little girl had started from setting up a stall and walked step by step to where she was today.

She had worked hard to earn all her money!

Qin Yanran said earnestly, “Doctor Fu, you treated the Old Marquis’s illness. I admit that your medical skills are brilliant, but I still have to advise you not to fool around with her.’

At the door, Hu Biyun slowly said, “Miss Qin, I think you should stop talking. She doesn’t appreciate it at all. It’s useless for you to say anything. Some people just won’t turn back until they hit a wall.”

Qin Yanran sighed. “We’re family after all. I don’t want to see her suffer.”

Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, “Do you not want to see me suffer, or can’t wait for me to suffer?”

“Of course, I’m doing this for your own good…” Qin Yanran shook her head helplessly and said to Broker Li and the owner of the pharmacy, “You probably don’t know, but Miss Su grew up in the countryside. This is her first time in the capital…

The two of them muttered, “So she’s a country girl…”

Hu Biyun said arrogantly, “In the entire capital, there’s no pharmacy or medical center that dares to open near our Benevolence Hall. Otherwise, how do you think this pharmacy closed down? Or do you think that Benevolence Hall’s business is good and there are so many patients that you can’t see the end of them, so you want to pick up some that we leaked?”

The two of them chattered. Su Xiaoxiao was a little impatient. She frowned slightly and a trace of coldness appeared in her eyes.

She looked at Hu Biyun. “Benevolent Hall, from the Hu family?”

“Which Hu family?” Physician Fu asked.

Qin Yanran was surprised. “Don’t you know about the Hu family headed by Court Commissioner Hu?”

Physician Fu was stunned. He turned to look at Hu Biyun. “Is your father… Hu Jiusheng?”

Hu Biyun raised her chin and said, “It’s my father.”

Physician Fu’s eyes were filled with shock. He grabbed Su Xiaoxiao’s wrist.

“Excuse me!”

He pulled Su Xiaoxiao to the backyard.

He looked at the three little ones squatting on the ground and playing with stones and whispered to Su Xiaoxiao, “Let’s not take this shop.”

Su Xiaoxiao asked strangely, “What’s wrong?”

Physician Fu said, “If I’m not wrong, that must be Hu Jiusheng!”

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Which Hu Jiusheng?”

Physician Fu clenched his fists and tried his best to control his emotions. He said with a complicated expression, “My father… used to be in the Imperial Hospital. Back then, because he had committed some mistakes and was afraid of attracting a fatal disaster, he faked his death and left the capital. Hu Jiusheng was my father’s favorite student. My father mentioned this person to me more than once and said that if I was half as talented as him, his medical skills would not have to be pa.s.sed on to outsiders. The Benevolent Heart Hall is his family’s… We can’t win!”

Actually, there was something else he didn’t say.

Hu Jiusheng was not a kind person. Back then, he was the one who reported it, causing his father to have no choice but to fake his death and leave the capital.

He didn’t care, but he didn’t want to implicate Miss Su.

As Su Xiaoxiao looked at Physician Fu deeply, her gaze landing on his clenched fist. “Oh.’

The two of them returned to the lobby.

Qin Yanran looked at the two of them and said, “Have you decided?”

Broker Li and the boss of the pharmacy closed their eyes in disappointment.

Oh no, it was ruined again.

This shop… could not be sold again…

Su Xiaoxiao took the stamp, dipped her fingertip, and pressed her fingerprint.

Qin Yanran’s eyes flashed.

Hu Biyun looked at the boss of the pharmacy at the side and then at Su

Xiaoxiao. She said mockingly, “The He family is an old name. They only lasted for a year. Miss Su, I bet you won’t last more than half a year.”

“Half a year? That’s too long.” Su Xiaoxiao picked up the contract calmly. “Three months.’

Hu Biyun chuckled. “You do know…”

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Hu Biyun and said word by word, “In three months, your

Benevolence Hall will disappear from this street!”
