Chapter 109: Life Was Like a Play
“It’s not that I don’t care about my uncle and aunt. It’s just that this medicine shop was jointly established by me and other people. If I really want to distribute any shares, I have to discuss it with them beforehand.”
The pa.s.serby listened to Jing Yu’s explanation and their look of disdain softened a little. It turned out that the owner of this medicine shop had his own difficulties. The whole family could just sit together and clear up the misunderstanding.
“Everyone, please don’t listen to his nonsense. Did you see that signboard? How can a joint venture only have a single name on the signboard? This kid clearly doesn’t want to give us a share. Why does he have to create a person who doesn’t exist?”
w.a.n.g Long heard the public opinion turn to Jing Yu’s side and quickly stepped in.
“Old Man, they just don’t want to share the money with us. Let’s go back and live a miserable life! Why do we have to come here and create trouble for them?”
!!
Li Qin quickly cooperated with her husband and put on a pessimistic and bitter drama, putting herself on the moral high ground.
“Sigh, people’s hearts are like stones these days!”
Some pa.s.sers-by began to sigh again.
Jing Yu saw that her uncle and aunt had no intention of giving up. His hands tightened into fists and he was planning to drive the two people out by force.
Yun Xi patted Jing Yu’s shoulder, indicating that she would take care of things.
“You call each other relatives and family members. Then when our Boss Jing’s mother was seriously ill and didn’t have the money for treatment, why didn’t you say that you would take out some money to support her?”
Yun Xi started to ask. If you want Jing Yu to treat you well, you have to treat him well first!
“You, you…”
Li Qin did not know what to say at that moment, but the arrogance in her voice did not diminish one bit.
“Our family isn’t rich either. If I was rich, as a younger brother, would I not care about my own sister?”
w.a.n.g Long quickly fought back.
“Haha.”
Yun Xi laughed coldly. Her tone was full of ridicule as she grabbed Jing Yu beside her.
“Fellow villagers, no matter how difficult it was for these two people, I believe they could still help. But they did not. Look at the injuries on our Boss Jing’s body. This was all because he had borrowed money from loan sharks in order to save his mother. When he failed to repay them as promised, he was almost beaten to death by those burly men.”
The wounds on Jing Yu’s arms were shocking to the villagers. People would always sympathize with the weak. The moment when they saw these wounds, the hearts of the audience were already leaning toward the owner of the medicine shop.
“When our Boss Jing was beaten up, I wondered where his uncle and aunt were? Boss Jing has lived through all the hardships for so many years by himself. I have never heard of any relatives coming to help.”
Yun Xi glared at the two people sitting on the ground, her eyes unspeakably cold.
“You people have no conscience. People like your family deserve to be punished!”
The audience now changed their claims after hearing Yun Xi’s words.
Seeing that she had been exposed, Li Qin began to act shamelessly.
“Even if that’s the case, now that he’s rich, isn’t it his duty to help his innocent younger brother go to school?”
“How can you be so shameless? You didn’t even help Boss Jing back then. Why are you forcing him to give you a share of the profits now?”
The audience could not stand it anymore. Before Yun Xi could refute, they stood up and scolded the shameless couple.
“Yes, they’re shameless! They deserve to be beaten!”
The audience soon echoed.
Li Qin and w.a.n.g Long saw that the enthusiastic folks were about to make a move, so they did not dare to stay in the pharmacy any longer. They quickly stood up from the ground, patted the dust off their pants, and left the place.
Seeing them escape, Jing Yu and Yun Xi curled their lips at the same time.
“It must have been tough for Boss Jing, especially when he was at such a young age. We have to take care of his business more often in the future.”
The enthusiastic person who spoke up for justice just now was calling on everyone to support their business.
“That’s for sure.”
“I’ll be there too.”
…
The audience expressed their support one after another.
However, they did not know that this person was someone that Yun Xi had hired before the good show happened.
Life was like a play. In order to live smoothly, there were many situations where one had to contribute their acting skills.
