Chapter 16 — After the Rain, Nam Son Still Has the Fragrance of Medicine

Co Nghien Tri looked at her.

“I will hire a lawyer, but I will not testify falsely.”

Mother Co let go, as if seeing her son clearly for the first time.

"Because of Gian Thanh, I don't need you anymore, mother?"

Co Nghien Tri closed his eyes.

“Mom, you don't need someone else's mother first.”

I turned around and left. Co Nghien Tri chased him to the hospital gate.

“Thanh Thanh.”

I stopped walking.

“What else?”

“Before, I always thought you understood things, so maybe we could wait a little longer.”

“My mother's illness can wait a little later.”

“Your self-pity can wait a little later.”

“Even your explanation... can wait a little later.”

I looked at the night ahead.

“Now... it's too late.”

Co Nghien Tri's voice gradually became smaller.

“I know.”

Before getting in the car, Co Nghien Tri asked:

“If I had answered the phone that day... would things have been different?”

I didn't turn back.

“This question... you should ask my mother.”

Mother's funeral was held in Nam Son. Co Nghien Tri came. Co's mother did not. She was released on bail awaiting trial. The Co family was afraid of losing face so they locked her in the house. Before being taken away, Tham Nhuoc Lan kept screaming that she didn't do it on purpose. Tran Thieu testified, saying she knew from a long time ago that Chu Hoai Le intended to take advantage of the hospital to keep me. The two of them tore each other apart, and in the end Chu Hoai Le also confessed Lam Ngoc Mai. On the day of the funeral, Mr. Ha used his cane to enter the shrine. He walked very slowly, but was determined not to let anyone help him. He lit a stick of incense for my mother.

“Thanh Hoa, your daughter is even calmer than you.”

“A while ago, you inserted needles into me, it hurt, and then you scolded me for what I deserved.”

Lam Ba Son stood next to him, his eyes dry.

“If he had come back that year…”

I gave him incense.

“Mom didn't come back... because she was afraid of bringing trouble back to Nam Son.”

“But trouble still comes in the end.”

“Then clean it up.”

Lam Ba Son looked at me.

“How are you going to clean it up?”

I looked out into the yard.

"Open all the medicine cabinets of the branch pharmacies, bring all the books here. Who sells fake drugs, who takes commission, who uses the Lam family's name to harm people, must be investigated individually."

Lam Ba Son asked:

“Aren't you afraid of their counterattack?”

Duong Tue stood next to interject.

"Grandpa, your grandson just crawled out of the Co family's hell. What kind of devil and devil have I never seen before?"

Lam Ba Son glanced at her.

“This girl has a really sharp tongue.”

Duong Tue immediately stood at attention.

“Thank you for your compliment.”

Lam Ba Son smiled slightly. Three days later, the general manager of Nam Son Duong officially opened the warehouse for general inspection. Lam Ngoc Mai was suspended from all positions, standing in the middle of the yard crying and causing chaos.

“Jian Qing, you really don't recognize me!”

I flipped through the medicine cabinet inventory.

“When second aunt sold mixed medicine to the elderly, did you still remember the family relationship?”

Lam Ngoc Mai's face immediately changed.

“You talk nonsense!”

Uncle Trieu told the servant to bring out two bags of medicinal herbs. The old doctor picked up a handful to smell it, and his face immediately turned pale.

“This is not a product imported by Nam Son Duong.”

The old people waiting in line for medical examination heard this and immediately scolded them.

“I told you why I keep drinking but it gets worse and worse!”

“Lam Ngoc Mai, are you dishonest with making money!”

Lam Ngoc Mai panicked and backed away.

“It was given to me by Chu Hoai Le me, I don't know.”

"I don't know, but you still record it in the book as a premium medicinal herb?"

Lam Ngoc Mai is still speechless.

“I don't know how to read medicine.”

The old doctor angrily shouted:

“If you don't know how to read medicine, you still dare to manage a pharmacy?”

Suddenly there was applause in the crowd. Co Nghien Tri stood at the door, next to two policemen. As soon as she saw Co Nghien Tri, Lam Ngoc Mai felt like she had grabbed a straw to save her life.

“Mr. Co, please tell me something. Gian Thanh did this to take revenge on the Co family, and also to take revenge on all those who did not obey him."

Co Nghien Tri didn't look at her, just handed the documents in his hand to the police.

“This is the Co family's medicinal transaction record. Chu Hoai Le once took advantage of the Co family's name to import this batch of poor quality medicine. I will testify.”

Lam Ngoc Mai was stunned.

“Are you crazy? Doing so will implicate the Co family!”

Co Nghien Tri said:

“The Co family has been implicated for a long time. Now the thing to do is admit it.”

I raised my head to look at him. Co Nghien Tri just said:

“I promised to tell the truth.”

When Lam Ngoc Mai was taken away, she finally became afraid.

“Thanh Thanh, you are my second aunt! When my mother was little, my aunt used to hold it. I can't be that cruel."

I walked in front of her.

“When my mother was lying in the urn, my aunt told me to hand over the power.”

Lam Ngoc Mai opened her mouth, but couldn't say another word. That day, the front gate of Nam Son Duong was filled with people. Some people came to see the excitement. Someone came to return the medicine. There are also people waiting to see me lose face. I stand behind the pharmacy counter.

“All those who have purchased problematic drugs will receive a full refund at the original price. In addition, Mr. Ha and the old doctors will directly examine again."

“What Nanshan Duong owes everyone, we will not hide.”

A middle-aged man raised his voice.

“What do you mean by complete? Where does the money come from?”

I looked at Uncle Trieu. Uncle Trieu opened a wooden box.
