159 Support Her Openly

The bully then said, “Fellas, take down this bitch! I am going to teach her a lesson. Damn it! She actually hit me!”

Such a group of misfits was no match for Zhao Chuchu.

Zhao Meilan and the other two people looked worried, but Zhao Chuchu just beat those bullies up. After that, they all lay on the ground and couldn’t get up.

Zhao Chuchu stepped on the shoulder blade of the head of the bullies with one foot, and with a bit of pressure, the bully screamed in pain.

“Come on, who asked you to collect protection fees here? If you keep silent, I will cut off your fingers one by one to see how many fingers you can survive with. Don’t worry. I’m a doctor and won’t let you bleed to death.”

When the bully heard this, he was terrified.

“Okay, I will talk.”

He told Zhao Chuchu everything. He said that the manager of Fenglong Tea House was behind this.

Zhao Chuchu thought carefully. It seemed that the manager of Fenglong Tea House had approached Zhao Guitang five days ago.

Zhao Chuchu did not want to talk about his poor means.

No wonder his business was not very good.

There seemed to be something wrong with the manager’s brain.

“Now come with us to the county office and tell the truth in front of the county magistrate. Otherwise, I will break your leg.”

“Alright.”

Zhao Chuchu was too fierce.

They were beaten up so badly that they could not resist at all.

They only wished they could fly to the county office to avoid being beaten again.

Zhao Chuchu took the ropes from the ox cart and tied them to it.

On the way, whenever they passed people, they would look at them.

Zhao Chuchu looked confident. She did not care what those outsiders thought.

After arriving at the county town, Zhao Chuchu first sent the tofu to Visitor’s Aroma and then informed Manager Lin about Niu Le’s beating.

Manager Lin also got angry.

“That bastard Fenglong is really disgusting!”

“Today, there is only this tofu. Those people ruined the tofu, which should have been transported here.”

“Are you all right?”

Niu An and Niu Le had been transporting tofu to Visitor’s Aroma, so Manager Lin was familiar with them. He looked at Niu Le and got worried.

Niu Le shook his head and said, “Don’t worry, Manager Lin. I am quite strong. It is just some scratches.”

“I am glad that you are fine. You are more important than tofu.”

“We have to go to the county office later. You don’t have to pay for the tofu today. It’s because we didn’t deliver it to you on time.”

“How can I not pay you? We both did not expect such an accident.”

“Honesty is important in business. Anyway, we must have influenced the business of Visitor’s Aroma. So, Manager Lin, you really don’t have to pay this time.”

The secret of the tofu would be figured out sooner or later.

What Zhao Chuchu needed to do now was to lay a firm foundation for the name of her tofu.

They should be honest. Even if there were other smart people who would be able to make tofu in the future, these regular customers should first consider cooperating with them rather than the newcomers.

“You can go back to your business now, Manager Lin. We should get going.”

Zhao Chuchu didn’t wait for Manager Lin to say anything but took Niu Le and the string of people to the county office.

When setting out, Zhao Chuchu told Niu Le what to do.

At that moment, Niu Le knelt in the court. Although Niu Le’s legs were weak, he at least finished telling the whole story.

When County Magistrate Qiao heard that someone was blackmailing people, his serious face became even more frightening.

The bullies almost cried when they heard the sound of the judge’s gavel.

They had never experienced this before. County Magistrate Qiao did not even interrogate them. They just told him everything.

County Magistrate Qiao ordered someone to bring the manager of Fenglong Tea House over.

The manager of Fenglong Tea House was not afraid at the beginning, but after seeing Zhao Chuchu, he became scared.

Because Zhao Chuchu had helped with dealing with the plague in Yuanjiang County and had saved Yuan Hui, and she was Xie Heng’s wife, County Magistrate Qiao wanted to support Zhao Chuchu and made a big scene. He ordered the manager of Fenglong Tea House to be beaten 30 times and ordered him to compensate Niu Le with 20 taels of silver.

And there was something more.

As a reason for assisting the county office in catching wanted criminals, the Thousand Battalion turned the Fenglong Tea House inside out.

Now, could anyone not understand that the county office and Thousand Battalion were supporting Zhao Chuchu?

Who dared to steal the tofu recipe now?

After everything that had happened, it was late. They had to go in the dark if they wanted to return to the village.

Zhao Chuchu did not want to show modern things to people other than Xie Heng.

After discussion, they decided to spend the night in the town first.

“I am going to meet my friends, and I will return later. You don’t need to wait for me for dinner.” Zhao Chuchu planned to go to Gan’s house for a visit.

Whenever Zhao Chuchu went to the town, she never went to see Gan Maosheng, and she felt kind of sorry.

“Okay.” Zhao Meilan nodded.

...

Zhao Chuchu took out the prepared gifts and went to Gan’s house.

She was about to knock at the door when it opened from the inside.

Gan Quan walked out anxiously. Maybe because he was too anxious, he failed to notice the threshold and almost tripped and fell.

“Brother Gan, where are you going? What happened?” Zhao Chuchu hurriedly supported Gan Quan.

“Chuchu!” Gan Quan realized that it was Zhao Chuchu. He suddenly seemed to see his last hope and grabbed her arm. “You came just in time. I was just looking for you. Please help my grandma.”

Before Zhao Chuchu could reply, Gan Quan dragged Zhao Chuchu in.

Zhao Chuchu shook off his hand and ran after him. She asked, “Brother Gan, what’s wrong with your grandma?”

Gan Quan told her about the situation quickly.

It turned out that Old Mrs. Gan had suddenly become dizzy. She had begun to drool and could not speak clearly. The doctor they got could do nothing to help. Therefore, Gan Quan was about to look for Zhao Chuchu.

When Zhao Chuchu heard that, she knew it was a stroke.

The mortality rate from stroke was very high.

...

Even if the patients survived, they still had to go through a lengthy recovery period. And some patients could not take care of themselves at all.

Zhao Chuchu focused on her ears and knew where Old Mrs. Gan was.

She ran over as fast as she could.

The people of the Gan clan, including Gan Maosheng, stood by the bed and looked at Old Mrs. Gan, who could not move, was drooling, and could not talk. The people all seemed very sad.

“Grandpa, Chuchu is coming,” Gan Quan said loudly.

The crowd suddenly looked over.

Zhao Chuchu had already arrived at the bedside. She didn’t want to say hello to those people. Instead, in a deep voice, she said, “Everyone leave. Don’t delay me in saving her. Otherwise, she will be paralyzed even if I can bring her back.”

Gan Maosheng made a quick decision and drove all the people out of the room.

Old Mrs. Gan’s condition was very bad. Zhao Chuchu didn’t hesitate. She just used her healing power to save Old Mrs. Gan.

Her power still had not returned to its peak state, which could not make Old Mrs. Gan recover immediately.

Later, she took out the needle bag from the carry-on space under the cover of her sleeve.

Gan Maosheng’s son was different from his father. He was an intellectual.

However, after working hard for so many years, he was just a scholar. And he could not go further. So now he was a teacher at the county school. His gentle appearance and aura seemed very different from the other men in the Gan family.

He looked distraught and asked Gan Maosheng, “Dad, can she really save my mom?”

Gan Maosheng glared at him and said, “Other doctors can do nothing to help. It would be best if Chuchu could save her. Even if Chuchu can’t, she must have tried her best. You should never blame her.”
