CHAPTER 885: CHAPTER 861: REUNION

Seeing the herbs on the stall, Jiang Xiaoxiao was pleasantly surprised to spot several prescriptions placed in a box.

She wasn’t in dire need of herbs, but prescriptions were scarce.

The truly valuable items were all in the hands of the Eight Great Families, though there were some scattered around, mainly with small families.

However, those prescriptions were far less compared to the ones held by the Eight Great Families, and scarcely made it to the public market.

They were essentially common prescriptions, meaning the items acquired using them sold cheaply in the market.

For instance, if you caught a cold, cold medicine here was everywhere.

You could ask any medicine seller for the formula of cold medicine and they’d recite it to you.

However, if you wanted to sell this medicine at a high price, that was impossible, even producing a level ten cold medicine was useless.

No one would spend that much money to buy a level ten cold medicine, they’re not crazy, spending hundreds of thousands or millions on a minor cold.

Even if you have money, that’s not how you spend it.

So the prescriptions available in the market were mostly allowed to circulate by various big families.

Jiang Xiaoxiao’s eyes lit up unconsciously when she saw the prescriptions, and she picked up the box and flipped through it. As expected, these were very ordinary prescriptions.

They were for things like hemorrhoid cream, toothache powder, and anti-spot cream.

Very ordinary, to the point where no one cared.

The stall owner didn’t even move when they saw Jiang Xiaoxiao looking at the box, and didn’t even bother to feign enthusiasm.

These things couldn’t sell for much.

Jiang Xiaoxiao didn’t mind; items that couldn’t sell for much were good for her.

The store still lacked many things.

It couldn’t just sell three items, that wouldn’t be practical.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was hoping to sign up within a month.

Once she entered the Medicine God Association’s gate, she could start gaining experience.

Wandering around with her daughter all day wasn’t viable either.

Her child was attending school, but couldn’t settle down, always checking on her.

Don’t think she doesn’t know; there must be something special about her kid.

One is Tang Yuan, and the other is Yanyan.

Jiang Xiaoxiao suspected she must have done something illegal for such things to happen to her children.

They say rebirth turns you into a big shot.

For her, being a big shot was too hard.

Anyway, she decided she must send Song Ziyuan away in the next couple of days. If she dared not leave, she’d get a taste of her bamboo shoots stir-fry.

......

She was watching intently.

Then someone walked up, silently standing beside her.

Jiang Xiaoxiao turned around, startled, not one, but three people.

"What do you want?"

Why are they bothering her?

She hadn’t spoken to anyone along the way, now out of nowhere, three people, to mug her? Rob her?

Do they think she looked easy to bully?

Didn’t they know she had bodyguards?

Looking to die?

"Sis!"

Thud, the three people knelt down.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was so scared she jumped back.

Was this the new trend for staging fake accidents?

Fake accidents!?

No, the three of them looked familiar.

Jiang Xiaoxiao pointed at the man, "You..."

"Sis, you saved my life."

Thud, thud, thud, three kowtows.

Jiang Xiaoxiao hurriedly helped them up.

A crowd gathered around.

"Alright, alright, don’t kneel. This day and age, whatever you have to say, say it, but don’t just kneel! I can’t handle you kneeling."

"Sis, you gave us money to save my life. Without your money, I’d be dead by now."

"Yeah! My brother owes his life to you, we’ve been looking for you these days to repay your life-saving kindness!"

The three were so enthusiastic.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was skeptical, something felt off.

Too enthusiastic.

Although gratitude is a virtue, these three were too much...

A Whoosh!

A dozen muscular men surrounded them.

"Fan Jinkui, I told you to run, why didn’t you run? Tired your grandpa out. Hit them, otherwise, I can’t let it rest that I almost ran to death."

The tattooed leader sounded breathless and angrily pointed at Fan Jinkui.

The dozen followers were about to make a move.

Jiang Xiaoxiao’s heart finally settled down.

She knew something was up.

This made sense!

When Fan Jinkui first met her, he failed to stage a fake accident; now this behavior was closer to Fan Jinkui’s nature.

Fan Jinkui was trying to set her up.

She moved aside, holding the box which trembled, crack, clatter!

Silence fell around.

Jiang Xiaoxiao looked at the scattered prescriptions on the ground.

Damn it!

Really in the spotlight.

The small shop owner quickly packed up his stall, trembling, "Girl! Those secret recipes are yours, come and support my business when you have time, see you again in the world!"

He ran off in a flash.

Afraid the trouble would fall on him.

Jiang Xiaoxiao bent down, her hand not yet touching the prescriptions on the ground.

Someone had already eagerly picked them up.

Neatly handing it to her.

"Sis, those people are loan sharks. You need to save me, you’re the compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva, please save me or they’ll beat me to death. Sis, my dear sister. I’m the only hope in my family, if I die, what will you and grandma do?"

Fan Jinkui spoke tearfully.

Jiang Xiaoxiao looked sarcastically at Fan Jinkui’s tears.

Really impressive.

Crying like this.

She’s been stuck with him.

"Dear sister"!

Fan Jinkui thinks she’s kind-hearted, sure to save him.

Being kind doesn’t work.

As expected, the tattooed guy across the way perked right up hearing this! Pushing aside a few of his men.

"Wow, Fan Jinkui! You have such a remarkable sister? You’re lucky, just right, since you can’t pay back the debt, sister repays for brother. Girl! You’ve got looks, don’t worry! Big bro will find you some good families, guarantee you’ll pay off your brother’s debt within a few months!

You’ll live a good life."

They looked at Jiang Xiaoxiao with lustful eyes.

"How much does he owe you?"

Once she asked this, Fan Jinkui finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling she’s his savior.

When he first saw Jiang Xiaoxiao, he felt his luck was turning.

Since Jiang Xiaoxiao was willing to help him before; she’d likely help him this time too.

He almost got his hand chopped off; Fan Jinkui was truly desperate, being chased by loan sharks to the point of no retreat, almost wishing for death.

His brother-in-law was still at home.

Every month’s medicine expenses were waiting for him, he really had no money to repay.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t stoop so low to stick to his life-saver.

"Eighteen thousand eight hundred you owe me, since you’re his sister, pay up then!"

The tattooed guy laughed, the girl sure was bold.

"You’re talking nonsense! I only borrowed fifty thousand from you, how is it now eighteen thousand eight hundred?"

The tattooed guy went right up and kicked Fan Jinkui down.

"Damn you! Do my brothers not eat? Shouldn’t interests compound? Fifty thousand principal with compounded interest, now it’s eighteen thousand eight hundred, you paying back or not? If not, I’ll sell your ass outside West City."

Fan Jinkui looked angrily at the tattooed guy.

"Staring at me? If I hadn’t kindly lent you money, your brother-in-law would’ve long kicked the bucket, you should be grateful, don’t give me those eyes when it’s payback time like you don’t know me, calling me Brother Jin back when borrowing. I can’t stand people glaring at me.

Watch out, I’ll gouge them out and use them as balls!"
