Chapter 86: Looking for Trouble

The Chinese medicine store’s business was booming during the weekend.

Recently, the idea of health preservation became a trend on the Internet. Hence, nutritional medicine and tea bags sold well in the Chinese medicine store.

Qu Xiao wanted to take advantage of the holiday to see how business was going at the store.

She secretly arrived at the street without the front boss’s knowledge. However, the store was surrounded with uncles and aunties gathered together, pointing at the Chinese medicine store saying, “They really don’t have a conscience. Selling fake medicine can make people ill!”

“I heard that after taking the medicine from their shop, an old man had a high fever that night. He was sent to the hospital for transfusion treatment. Right now, his body is still in bad condition.”

The auntie who was carrying a basket of vegetables echoed with an exaggerated expression. “I heard that Chinese medicine are all fake! Don’t buy from them...”

Qu Xiao could not help but frown when she heard their conversation. She pushed aside the crowd of onlookers and walked over.

At the entrance of the Chinese medicine store, an old man was sitting in a wheelchair. The middle-aged man who had come with him pushed the boss and cursed, “You have to compensate us for our medical expenses. Otherwise, we will wreck your store so that you will have no more business!”

“Yes! We don’t want you to continue hurting people.”

The middle-aged man waved his hand and his followers rushed into the store.

The boss and the shop assistant tried their best to block the door, but to no avail.

Qu Xiao’s eyes flashed with annoyance. She walked to the back of the middle-aged man and patted his shoulder.

The middle-aged man turned around and asked unhappily, “Who are you?”

The boss saw Qu Xiao and hurriedly shouted, “Mrs. Qu! Come here quickly, they want to wreck the place!”

“Are you the boss of the Chinese medicine store?”

The eyes of the middle-aged man flashed, wanting to grab Qu Xiao.

In the next second, Qu Xiao moved extremely fast and pressed on his shoulder.

With a crisp crack sound, the man immediately hugged his arm and wailed in pain.

When the people who were trying to break into the shop saw his miserable state, they were all frightened and stopped moving.

The chaotic scene was temporarily under control. Qu Xiao leaned on the man and said lightly, “I just dislocated your arm. After this matter is settled, I’ll help you fix it. You’ll be in pain for a while. Consider it compensation for affecting my shop’s business.”

After Qu Xiao said that, she bent down and squatted in front of the old man in the wheelchair. She raised a gentle smile and said, “Can I take your pulse?”

The old man was sensible. He nodded and handed over his wrist.

Qu Xiao pursed her red lips and analyzed the old man’s pulse. Then, she stood up. Her eyes swept across the crowd and finally landed on the man, “He has a chronic illness. When you came to buy medicine for him, you only said that he needed a prescription for nourishing and recuperating.”

“But those prescriptions are like arsenic to him. After he takes them, his Qi will weaken due to Anemia. Of course he will feel dizzy!”

Qu Xiao looked at the man coldly and said with a slightly accusatory tone, “It was you who didn’t take proper care of your father, yet you shirk all the responsibility to my store. I think you are the one without a conscience!”

When the onlookers heard her words and saw the man’s guilty expression, they immediately started criticizing the unfilial behavior of the man.

Qu Xiao asked the boss to take out a few silver needles. She used two thin needles to prick a few of the old man’s acupuncture points. Five to six minutes later, the old man’s eyes regained their brightness and his speech became more crisp, he held Qu Xiao’s hand tightly to express his gratitude.

“So this Chinese medicine store is really genuine? Boss, can you help me check my pulse too?”

The auntie who was carrying the basket hurriedly squeezed over and said. Upon hearing her words, the surrounding people began to line up on their own accord, preparing to grab some medicine to take back home. The entrance of the Chinese medicine store was instantly filled with customers.

“Qu Xiao, can you help me grab two doses of medicine as well? My eyes have been having some issues recently. I always want to roll my eyes whenever I see you!”

For some reason, someone was looking for trouble. Qu Xiao turned around and saw a slightly familiar woman. She thought carefully and seemed to recall that she had once seen this woman at Qu Zhen’s welcome back party. She was likely Qu Zhen’s good friend Jiang Yuan, the daughter of Jiang Group.

“You dare to open a medicine store just because you learned a little Chinese medicine on your own? You’re really bold!”

“Uncles and aunties, don’t trust the boss of this Chinese medicine store. She has a lot of tricks up her sleeves! She schemed and forced the boss of the Chinese medicine store across the street to shut down her store. Did I mention that the boss is her own biological sister?”

Jiang Yuan pointed at the sign across the street that had not been taken down yet. She raised her eyebrows proudly and looked back at Qu Xiao.
