Chapter 13 — After the Rain, Nam Son Still Has the Fragrance of Medicine

I cleaned each needle.

“Mom said, carrying a bravery on your body is safer than keeping a seal.”

Lam Ngoc Mai still refused to give up.

“Knowing acupuncture does not mean knowing how to manage the entire family.”

“Why did Chu Hoai Le dare to steal the seal?”

“Isn't it because the records of Nanshan Duong are unclear, and the medicinal ingredients are also unclear?”

“What can a young girl withstand?”

I raised my head to look at her.

“Then start cleaning up from Chu Hoai Le.”

Uncle Trieu quickly walked in.

“Miss Gian, Chu Hoai Le has been blocked outside the gate.”

"He brought along several managers of branch pharmacies, saying he wanted to meet the boss."

Lam Ngoc Mai's eyes immediately lit up. Lam Ba Son's voice was cold.

“Let him in.”

Chu Hoai Le led people into the main hall, a smile on his face.

“Boss, I came today to admit my mistake.”

“What happened in the old banquet hall was because I was suddenly confused.”

“But handing Nanshan Duong to a child who just returned is really inappropriate.”

I looked at him.

“Who do you want to give it to?”

Chu Hoai Le did not look at Lam Ngoc Mai, only looked at Lam Ba Son.

"In the family, it's okay to choose someone who is okay."

“Miss Hai is a very good choice.”

“Over the years she has managed several pharmacies.”

Lam Ngoc Mai pretended to be surprised.

“Manager Chu, don't talk nonsense.”

Duong Tue stood next to her and rolled her eyes.

“Acting is really busy.”

Chu Hoai Le put a stack of papers on the table.

“This is a joint venture application of branch pharmacies.”

“If Ms. Gian takes over Nam Son Duong, we will all close down.”

"The pharmacist will disperse, the patients will also disperse, and by then the Nam Son Duong sign will no longer be there."

In the hall, people immediately panicked.

“Chu Hoai Le, you are forcing confessions... no, forcing the court... you are forcing people to abdicate!”

“Don't say such harsh words.” Chu Hoai Le smiled. “I'm just doing it for Nam Son Duong.”

I picked up the stack of papers and flipped through the two pages.

“Do these people know that you used their name to write this?”

Chu Hoai Le's face immediately changed.

“Of course I know.”

I looked towards the door. Several people working at branch pharmacies, still wearing aprons, walked in one after another. In their hand, each person held a piece of paper with fingerprints on it. A young man spoke up.

“Tieu Chuong Cham, the master at the pharmacy in the west of the city told us to come and tell you that he didn't sign it.”

"He said Manager Chu used his grandson's going to school as a threat."

Another person continued.

"The pharmacy in the south of the city also did not sign."

“Manager Chu said that if we don't sign, we will cut off our medicine supply.”

Chu Hoai Le shouted angrily.

“You people talk nonsense!”

I spread the paper in my hand out on the table.

"What are you bothering about? The ink hasn't dried yet, the fingerprints are already enough. Chu Hoai Le, even if you fake fingerprints, you're so careless."

The old doctor picked it up and looked at it, his face immediately darkened.

“These fingerprints are identical.”

Lam Ngoc Mai took half a step back. Chu Hoai Le pointed straight at me.

“You prepared in advance?”

"My mother hasn't been buried yet. You guys can't wait even a day. Of course I have to prepare."

Co Nghien Tri looked at me, his voice very soft.

“So when you were at the Co family, did you tell Uncle Trieu to investigate the branch pharmacies?”

I didn't pay attention to him. Lam Ba Son lifted the stick and slammed it down hard land.

“Chu Hoai Le, report to the officials.”

Chu Hoai Le immediately knelt down.

"Boss! I have devoted twenty years to Nanshan Duong. Without merit, there is also suffering."

I walked in front of him.

"When my mother was being treated in the hospital, he sent someone to spread the news saying that I would take advantage of the hospital fees. After my mother passed away, he also stole her needle bag. Now you still want to talk to me about my merits?"

Chu Hoai Le raised his head, his eyes full of resentment.

"If Lam Thanh Hoa hadn't left that year, would it have been my turn to support Nam Son Duong?"

"She's gone, leaving behind a way to retreat, what is there to rely on?"

“Based on the fact that my mother has never harmed anyone.”

When Chu Hoai Le was dragged out, Lam Ngoc Mai tried to hide in the crowd. Duong Tue immediately stopped her.

"Second aunt, where are you going? Just now, didn't you force Thanh Thanh to take three steps?"

“Now, auntie, also take three steps for everyone to see.”

“The first step is called guilty conscience.”

“The second step is called speaking loudly.”

“The third step is called death.”

Lam Ngoc Mai was so angry that her face was distorted. I looked at her.

“Second aunt, Chu Hoai Le's joint venture was something you told him to do, right?”

Lam Ngoc Mai immediately denied.

"Not me."

Uncle Trieu took out a recording pen.

“Just outside the gate, Chu Hoai Le already spoke.”

"Miss Hai told him to force the boss to hand over power tonight. After success, the two pharmacies in the East of the city will belong to him."

Lam Ngoc Mai rushed forward to rob him, but was stopped by security. Lam Ba Son looked at her, his voice was old and heavy.

“To be in front of my sister's coffin... I can't wait.”

Lam Ngoc Mai finally panicked.

“Eldest uncle, I'm afraid that Nam Son Duong will fall into the hands of outsiders.”

I picked up the urn of my mother's ashes.

"My last name is Gian and also my last name is Lam."

“Every needle my mother taught me comes from the Lam family.”

Lam Ba Son looked across the hall.
