CHAPTER 851: CHAPTER 827: VERY SIMILAR TO MY GREAT-GRANDMOTHER’S JADE PENDANT

The four people were on the verge of tears.

"What should we do?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao was about to curse.

As if you need to ask what to do in this situation?

"Take him to the hospital!"

She couldn’t hold back.

She really couldn’t hold back.

Are these people even human?

The four shook their heads like a clapper drum.

"Sister, it’s not that we don’t want to take him, but we have no money!"

The four looked embarrassed.

"Even so, take him to the hospital first! You can go back and raise money; you can’t just watch him die!"

Jiang Xiaoxiao didn’t understand how these people thought. Shouldn’t they hurry to save the person?

Seeing this, everyone else had already left, dispersed.

No one showed any enthusiasm for saving a life.

Jiang Xiaoxiao suddenly felt something strange and eerie, as if the people here were very indifferent, with no respect for life.

Had she come to the wrong place?

And this is supposed to be some Medicine God Association?

Medicine God my foot!

Jiang Xiaoxiao supported the person, "You two, come over here and find a stretcher to carry him to the hospital."

"Sister, it’s not that we are unwilling, but the hospital won’t take him like this. Without money, the hospital won’t admit patients."

The four looked anxious but remained unmoved.

"How is that possible? Hospitals are meant to treat and save people! They are places for rescuing the dying and healing the injured, it’s always possible to negotiate."

Jiang Xiaoxiao didn’t believe it. After working in a hospital for so many years, she didn’t think the current hospitals were as restrictive as they might be in the future, where you wouldn’t dare enter without money.

Even in the future.

The primary aim is still to treat and save lives, and even knowing there could be unpaid medical bills, hospitals would have accounts for that.

Specifically for uncollectable debts from patients who can’t afford medical causes.

"Sister, we’re not lying. Here, if you don’t pay, the hospitals don’t let you in. Better to take him home, and I’ll find Brother Leopard to buy two Blood Circulation Pills, that might keep him alive."

A curly-haired man suggested.

The others nodded in agreement.

"In his condition, giving him Blood Circulation Pills is like preparing for his funeral!"

A voice interjected.

The others glared, daring to curse their own brother.

When they were injured in fights, taking Blood Circulation Pills always worked.

"Nonsense!"

The curly-haired man was agitated, his eyes red, and wanted to punch Hao Zhigang.

Hao Zhigang felt Fan Jinkui’s pulse, with a semblance of professionalism, "Three ribs are broken, one pierced the spleen, if you give him those Blood Circulation Pills, I guarantee he’ll be gone tonight!"

He withdrew his hand.

Jiang Xiaoxiao unexpectedly glanced at Hao Zhigang, finding some skills there.

Seems he really could be the descendant of the Hao family she was looking for.

Just, why had the Hao family fallen so low?

"Then what should we do? You know medicine; please, save my brother! Please! We’ll do anything, even if you want us to toil like a horse or commit crimes, as long as you save him, we’ll agree to anything."

The four desperately begged Hao Zhigang, out of options.

No money, unable to go to a hospital, and if the Blood Circulation Pills didn’t work, they were left with a dead end.

Hao Zhigang shook his head with indifference, looking mocking.

"Don’t count on me, didn’t you hear what that woman said? I’m just a good-for-nothing, I only have a basic understanding, I can diagnose this illness, but to treat it, no chance! Begging won’t help, if I knew how to treat illnesses, would I be stuck here?"

Hao Zhigang gestured at his little shop.

Then looked at Jiang Xiaoxiao with starry eyes.

"Sister, you seem skilled, you must be in the pharmaceutical business? I have all sorts of medicines here, the most famous being the Youthful Appearance Pill, guaranteed to keep you youthful and beautiful, would you like to try a couple?"

This could very well be a big business opportunity.

Maybe today he could make a sale.

Jiang Xiaoxiao ignored him, pulling out money, "Here’s five thousand yuan, take it and get him to a hospital, saving a life is urgent."

The curly-haired man and his group were immediately moved to tears.

Who was Jiang Xiaoxiao!

The person they were originally trying to scam, now she was willingly giving out money; this was life-saving.

"Benefactor, don’t worry! We’ll surely return the favor. Today, what we owe you, we will repay."

After solemnly promising, the curly-haired man and his group carried Fan Jinkui away.

Hao Zhigang watched, looking sheepish.

Mumbling under his breath, "What kind of fool would do this, is there really such a kind-hearted person in the world?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao turned to look at Hao Zhigang.

Hao Zhigang, feeling awkward under her gaze, discreetly tidied his appearance.

Looking at her with a face of worship like she was his idol.

"Miss!"

This title really wasn’t great, as in this era, it wasn’t a good term.

"Just call me Sister instead!"

Hao Zhigang quickly laughed, "Sister, look at my big mouth, saying ’miss’! Even ’big sister’ wouldn’t do, you seem younger than me, ’sister’ sounds better, right?"

Slick and glib, clearly a slick operator.

"My name is Fan Xiao!"

"Fan! Would you like something? I have everything here, Black Chicken White Phoenix Pills for beauty and health, guaranteed to make you look radiant like a peach blossom, also Carefree Pills, Six Flavor Rehmannia Pill, Ningshen Ningqi Pills, what else do you need, Sister?

I have it all!"

He said these words, slightly lacking in confidence.

Jiang Xiaoxiao looked at the shop sign, "Boss, may I have your last name?"

"My surname is Hao, I can’t take the title of Boss. Just call me Brother Hao. Today, seeing you have such good skills, it seems like you’ve been trained? Why come to our remote and barren place? Here for fun, or looking for someone?"

Hao Zhigang had a face full of smiles.

Like a weasel seeing an old hen.

Even though he opened the door, no business was made. This one clearly looked like an outsider. Locals had their own special signs.

This one clearly did not have them.

That’s also why those people came looking.

A rabbit doesn’t eat the grass near its burrow.

The people here do not prey on their own.

That’s the rule.

Otherwise, the Medicine God Association will teach you the rules.

No one can break the Medicine God Association’s rules.

The police from the association are not to be trifled with.

They are also pragmatic in handling affairs.

But when facing outsiders, there is still some difference.

"Brother Hao, looking for someone!"

Hao Zhigang felt a chill in his heart. Of the ten people who came here, nine were looking for someone or for medicine.

Insiders know naturally.

This place is prime feng shui.

Few are looking for people, dare to come to West City to find people?

Hehe!

Must not be a troublemaker, right?

"Miss, who are you looking for? Maybe I know them!"

Anyway, they’re not looking for him; his Hao family is small and insignificant; they can’t be looking for him.

Didn’t you see how fierce the girl looked?

Just a debt collector ancestor.

"Looking for its owner!"

Jiang Xiaoxiao pulled out the Jade Pendant and placed it on the counter.

Hao Zhigang’s face changed, the moment his butt settled in, he jumped up, and the chair at his feet was kicked over.

A series of sounds echoed.

Extremely awkward!

Hao Zhigang picked up the Jade Pendant, took a closer look, whatever angle he looked, it seemed to be their family’s ancestral Jade Pendant.

Damn it!

If I had known, I wouldn’t have come out today.

"Do you recognize it?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao mocked.

"Don’t recognize it!"

Hao Zhigang shook his head vigorously, as if this way he could convince people, his face immediately returned to normal. Ancestor, you cause me trouble!

Forgot the rules?

Jiang Xiaoxiao picked up the Jade Pendant and was about to leave.

Hao Zhigang quickly jumped out from behind the counter to stop her, this one looked like trouble.

"Miss, where are you going?"

He asked dryly.

"You don’t recognize it! I’m going to find someone who does! The owner of the Jade Pendant said to use it to return the favor, now it seems some people are prepared to be ungrateful, I need to find a place to argue what’s right!"

The audacity, still trying to act with me.

Hao Zhigang quickly stopped her, "Wait, let me take another look, maybe I was mistaken."

He took back the Jade Pendant, pretended to examine it carefully, then suddenly appeared enlightened.

"Miss, the more I look at it, the more familiar it seems. Turns out it’s my great-grandmother’s Jade Pendant, how is that possible? My great-grandmother’s Jade Pendant has always been stored at home, I thought it just looked similar, didn’t expect it was real."

Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled.

Quite the storyteller.

"Boss Hao, I’d like to meet your great-grandmother."

Even if it’s great-grandmother, at what age did Ms. Hao marry and bear children?

This one looks older than me, yet has to call her great-grandmother.

"Wait a moment, I’ll pack up, we’ll go back together."

Even if he didn’t want to pack up, he had to. Clearly, the person in front came looking for them, the great-grandmother said if someone came with the Jade Pendant, they must host them well, they’re a benefactor to the family.

It’s not that he didn’t want to acknowledge.

Just thinking it wasn’t appropriate.

The house is in a complete mess.

Since being ordered by the Medicine God Association to cease business for rectification, all their pharmacies have closed, now there’s only this small shop left to get by.

The benefactor came, but their family didn’t have the capacity to repay the favor.

Hao Zhigang just wanted to shirk off.

Now seeing it’s impossible to shirk off.

Locking the door up, taking a small motorcycle, heading into the city with Jiang Xiaoxiao.

Out of Medicine God Street, outside high-rise buildings stood tall, Jiang Xiaoxiao had never been to West City, but didn’t expect what should be a remote city to be more prosperous than Shanghai.

Tall buildings lined the streets, full of luxury cars, even in Shanghai or Capital City, they can’t claim to have luxury cars all over the streets.

Yet here it was.

Seems quite extravagant.

Jiang Xiaoxiao guessed this place had its natural laws.

Still, she needed to be careful.

Watching the motorcycle go through high-end residential areas, gradually the houses on both sides of the road began to show differences.

Decrepit houses indicated this should be the slum area.

Perplexed inside.

Grandma said Ms. Hao once looked like she came from an extraordinary background, how did she fall into such decline after all these decades?
