In other words, with Aunt Mei’s personality, she might have wanted the witch doctor to compensate her.
The witch doctor considered this situation and prepared to find a third party. After Ah Hui’s death, Aunt Mei could find trouble with this third party instead of him.
Every villager who went to the pharmacy to buy medicine would be recorded. If Ah Hui had died after taking the medicine from the pharmacy, Aunt Mei would have had a reasonable reason to find trouble with the pharmacy and make it pay.
At this time, the witch doctor could escape perfectly.
After all, Ah Hui was not Aunt Mei’s daughter. Aunt Mei would not have cared how Ah Hui died. She would have only wanted to recover a sum of money and minimize the loss.
Aunt Mei could still buy a daughter-in-law, but if the money was gone, then it was gone.
After Ye Ling guessed the witch doctor’s goal, she began to think about what to do.
Ye Ling stood up and thanked the old lady. After the old lady left, she looked at Aunt Mei’s door and hesitated for a few seconds before walking to the door and knocking.
In the pharmacy, Ji Mei was flipping through professional medical books in boredom. Suddenly, there was a sound outside the door. Ji Mei stood up and saw Gao Min getting off the bicycle.
When Gao Min saw Ji Mei, she waved at her.
Gao Min was almost forty years old this year. Her skin was a healthy wheat color. She was very tall, about 1.75 meters, so she looked a little thin. Her short hair was slightly curled, and there were a few freckles on the bridge of her nose.
“Who are you on duty with today?” Gao Min asked as she parked her bicycle.
Gao Min’s bicycle had two rear wheels, which were slightly smaller than the front wheels. There was a metal box fixed to the two rear wheels. The box could fit an adult. At this moment, there were some packed herbs inside.
Ji Mei helped Gao Min take the herbs out of the iron box. The two of them walked to the pharmacy. Ji Mei replied, “I’m on duty with Ye Ling today.”
“Where is she?” Gao Min had never met Ye Ling before. She only knew that Ye Ling had scored full marks in the selection test. In other words, Ye Ling’s subjective short-answer questions were all answered perfectly, so the examiners could not find any reason to deduct points.
Ji Mei hesitated for a moment but still chose to tell the truth. “A man came to get some medicine just now. Ye Ling said that she felt that there was something wrong with that man. She wanted to ask him, so she left first.” Upon hearing Ji Mei’s words, Gao Min frowned. “That man didn’t look well?”
“I didn’t see anything wrong with the man’s expression. Perhaps Ye Ling’s medical skills are better, so she noticed the abnormality,” Ji Mei said with some shame.
Gao Min shook her head. “Even if she realized that something was wrong, she shouldn’t have chased after him and asked him. She’s not a doctor yet. How can she treat others casually?”
Gao Min was a cadre and also an attending doctor at the hospital. She was considered a member of the system, so she naturally paid more attention to the rules. Moreover, not to mention anything else, it was also inappropriate for Ye Ling to leave her workplace during working hours.
The two of them moved the herbs into the storeroom. Gao Min wiped the sweat from her forehead, and Ji Mei poured her a cup of hot water.
Gao Min took a sip of hot water and sat behind the counter. Her tone was a little serious. “I’ll wait here. I want to see when she’ll be back.”
Even if Gao Min admired Ye Ling’s talent, she couldn’t stand Ye Ling’s willfulness.
The pharmacy was a project approved by the county government. This was not a place where Ye Ling could do whatever she wanted.
“Knock, knock, knock.” Not long after the knock, the door slowly opened from the inside. A woman in her thirties was stunned when she saw Ye Ling standing outside the door.
The girl in front of her was wearing white linen clothes. Her skin was smooth, and her big eyes were like grapes that had been washed with water, sparkling.
Aunt Mei’s eldest daughter-in-law came back to her senses and asked, “Who are you? What’s the matter?”
“I’m the manager of Sanshui Pharmacy, ” Ye Ling said with a friendly smile.
“Did Comrade Ma Biao just grab some medicine from our pharmacy?”
Aunt Mei’s eldest daughter-in-law nodded. “Yes, why?”
Ye Ling explained, “It’s like this. Comrade Ma Biao left in a hurry, so we didn’t have time to tell him the precautions for using the herbs. The herbs are very strong, so we have to be careful with the dosage. Otherwise, there will be very serious consequences. You haven’t given the patient medicine yet, right?”
Aunt Mei’s eldest daughter-in-law was stunned for a moment. She shook her head and said, “Not yet. I’m just preparing to brew the medicine.”
“Meilian, who’s at the door?” An old voice sounded as they were talking..
