Stunning Dragon Wife-Chapter 33 - 32

The woman ignored everyone else and walked straight up to Zhang Xiaoshan.

"Sir, hello."

Zhang Xiaoshan was instantly startled awake, his expression returning to normal.

"Hello."

At this moment, the shopkeeper, playing the role of the aggressor, complained to the woman.

"Boss, this kid is causing trouble in our place, I..."

"Shut your mouth."

The young woman cut him off mid-sentence, scolding sharply.

"Stop talking nonsense here, I was watching everything from outside the door, it was all your fault. Go to accounting and check your salary, from now on you are fired."

"What?"

Hearing the woman’s words, the shopkeeper panicked and wailed at her.

"Boss, please no, I’ve been at Hundred Herbs Hall for over ten years, you can’t fire me, I admit my mistake, I won’t dare to do it again."

But the woman did not show any leniency to the shopkeeper, responding coldly.

"Don’t think I don’t know about the discrepancies in the accounts over the years, weren’t they your doings? Leave now. Considering my second brother’s face, I won’t hold it against you, but if you talk nonsense again, I’ll immediately hand you over to the authorities."

Hearing this, the shopkeeper caved immediately.

"I’m leaving, I’ll leave right now."

He took off his work clothes and left in disgrace.

As he was leaving, he glanced at Zhang Xiaoshan with frustration, never expecting that he would capsize his ship because of a poor kid. If only he had not provoked Zhang Xiaoshan.

Regrets!

"Good!"

A burst of cheers erupted from the crowd instantly.

The young woman said to Zhang Xiaoshan.

"Sir, could we talk in the back hall?"

Zhang Xiaoshan nodded.

Carrying the Red Blood Ganoderma, he followed the woman into the back hall.

"Sir, may I take a look at the item you are holding?"

Zhang Xiaoshan handed the Red Blood Ganoderma to the woman.

The woman carefully examined it in her hand and sniffed it, then her face lit up with excitement.

"Uncle Li, take a look."

She handed the Red Blood Ganoderma to an old man in a long robe with youthful features and white hair, who had been following her.

The elderly man examined it carefully, then nodded at the young woman.

"Miss, there is no mistake, it’s Red Blood Ganoderma, and it must be about two hundred and a few decades old!"

Zhang Xiaoshan took another look at the elderly man. He himself had relied on his Heavenly Eye ability to discern the age of the Red Blood Ganoderma, but this elderly man discerned it just with bare eyes, highlighting his extraordinary medical skills.

Once confirmed, the young woman excitedly said to Zhang Xiaoshan.

"Sir, where did you find this Red Blood Ganoderma?"

Zhang Xiaoshan scratched the back of his head and asked.

"What, does Hundred Herbs Hall need to investigate the origin of items?"

The woman paused, then apologized to Zhang Xiaoshan,

"Of course, the source of such ancient medicine is a secret, it was impolite of me. Here’s the deal, I’m willing to offer two hundred and fifty thousand for this piece of Red Blood Ganoderma, what do you think?"

"Two hundred and fifty thousand?"

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaoshan was startled.

Because this was a third of a third, and also the least valuable part.

His expectation was around one hundred and fifty thousand.

The woman’s offer was extremely surprising.

"This medicine, despite its value, isn’t two hundred and fifty thousand too high?" Zhang Xiaoshan felt a bit guilty.

The woman smiled slightly.

"This price is indeed a bit premium, the extra amount can be considered my apology and thankfulness to you."

Zhang Xiaoshan was even more puzzled.

"I understand the apology, but where does the thankfulness come from?"

The young woman hesitated and explained to Zhang Xiaoshan,

"I’ll tell you the truth, I just graduated from university and recently took over this branch. The former shopkeeper was not my man and often deliberately created trouble. I had long wanted an opportunity to get rid of him. Today, it was all thanks to you."

Zhang Xiaoshan suddenly pictured a scene of inner family conflict in his mind.

"So that’s it. But this two hundred and fifty thousand really is a bit much. How about two hundred thousand instead?"

Zhang Xiaoshan’s attitude made the young woman and the elderly man exchange looks.

"Hehe, let’s stick with two hundred and fifty thousand. Let’s consider it making friends, and if you have more such medicine in the future, continue to sell it to Hundred Herbs Hall. I have just arrived here and need some performance!"

At these words, Zhang Xiaoshan no longer hesitated and nodded his head immediately.

"Alright, seeing how generous you are, I will bring any good stuff I find directly to you."

"Good, I’ll have someone take you to finance to get the money."

An attendant came in and escorted Zhang Xiaoshan out, leaving only the young woman and the elderly man in the back hall.

"Uncle Li, what do you think of this man?"

The elder known as Uncle Li thought for a moment and said with satisfaction,

"This young man has an air of scholarship about him, seems to be a scholar, and was willing to stand up for that young girl, which is especially brave. You gave him extra money, and he even bargained himself, not greedy, he’s a fine young man."

"However, if you are thinking about dating him to avoid an arranged marriage at home, still..."

"What..."

Before the elder could finish, the young woman blushed and interrupted,

"I, when did I ever say I wanted to date him? I meant, whether his promise just now could be trusted. He managed to bring this piece of Red Blood Ganoderma, so perhaps he has more..."

"Maybe even other rare ancient medicines..."

Uncle Li chuckled.

"Of course, that’s no problem, the young man seems trustworthy."

The young woman nodded just as Zhang Xiaoshan had finished collecting the money and was leaving the pharmacy with a canvas bag on his back. She watched his retreating figure, her face turned red again, remembering what Uncle Li had just said.

"Managing to appease my family through him might not be a bad idea, right?"

...

It was already afternoon, and Zhang Xiaoshan, starving, went to a restaurant to eat.

"Zhang Xiaoshan, what are you doing here?"

Just as he entered, he encountered someone he did not want to see.

One of the dining guests was extremely annoyed and glared at Zhang Xiaoshan.
