Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

By the time the car arrived in town, it was already past noon. Gu Zi had sent Su Shen to a pastry shop to grab some food to stave off their hunger. When Su

Shen returned, he had not only bought pastries but also a few bottles of soda. Gu Zi thought his consideration was quite thorough; eating only pastries would indeed be too dry.

Gu Zi turned her head and called out to the two boys, handing over the pastries and drinks, “Eldest, second, get up and eat something before you sleep again. Be good, get up quickly.”

Her voice was gentle but carried a penetrating quality. Even without raising her voice, Su Bing and Su Li were quickly roused from their slumber. They accepted the food from her hands and began to eat, their eyes still heavy with sleep.

Gu Zi settled back into her seat, and a piece of old-fashioned cake was handed to her. A man’s deep, gentle voice said, “For you.”

Gu Zi accepted the cake, took a bite, and then Su Shen picked up another piece to give to the little girl before starting to eat himself. Gu Zi thought that the feeling of a family eating together in a car was quite nice.

After the family had finished eating and exited the car, Su Shen handed a lab report to Gu Zi. “The results show that the powder in the water is a potent medicine used to treat livestock constipation. It can also be used for humans, but if the digestive system is not problematic, consuming this medicine will cause abdominal pain and diarrhea. There’s only one veterinary pharmacy in town.”

Listening to this, Gu Zi felt that Ah Zhuang was indeed malicious. He must have planned this in advance, even the symptoms caused by the veterinary medicine were similar to those of drinking unboiled water. He was determined to drive away Aunt Yang. Such a person was truly terrifying.

Gu Zi said, “Then we should go to the veterinary pharmacy now.”

Su Shen stopped Gu Zi, saying, “There’s one more thing. The vet at the pharmacy is Ah Zhuang’s uncle. We’re not sure if they’ve been tipped off, so we can’t ask directly. I also can’t appear with you.”

Perhaps it was due to his military background, Su Shen was accustomed to knowing his subordinates thoroughly. Therefore, when the staff at the pig farm were hired, they had to register their detailed identity information. It wasn’t difficult for Su Shen to know these familial relationships.

After hearing everything, Gu Zi fell into deep contemplation. She understood Su Shen’s intentions; it was a task that she had to undertake herself. “Alright, I know what to do,” she said. Together, Gu Zi and Su Shen headed to the animal pharmacy. Su Shen waited outside with the children while Gu Zi entered the shop alone.

The shop was small, with one wall dominated by a large wooden cabinet. It had no doors and was filled with various large bags of animal medicine. In front of it was a floor-to-ceiling glass cabinet, housing an array of boxed and bottled medicines.

At that moment, the shop was eerily quiet. Behind the glass cabinet, an old man with half-white hair was dozing off.

Gu Zi approached and rapped on the counter, deliberately raising her voice,

“You must be Ah Zhuang’s uncle, right?”

The old man was startled awake, looking at her in surprise. In his many years of life, he had never seen such a beautiful woman. She seemed to be from the city. How could she know Ah Zhuang, the rascal?

Although the old man thought this, he still wore a familiar smile on his face and asked, “Are you a friend of Ah Zhuang s?

Gu Zi casually surveyed the medicine cabinet behind the old man. She tilted her chin up and said with a showy air, “You could say that. I’m the secretary of Mr.

Huo, the owner of Xinghua Department Store in the city. You know Xinghua Department Store, right? I met Ah Zhuang a few times when I accompanied Mr.

Huo to the pig farm for business. We got to know each other and I think Ah

Zhuang is quite a good person. By the way, I’m here to buy medicine.”

The old man listened to her words and unconsciously curled his lips, his expression a bit strange. Young women these days really don’t know how to judge people.

However, Ah Zhuang, the rascal, did have some skills. He even managed to befriend a woman from the city, and such a beautiful one at that. He asked, “Of course I know Xinghua Department Store. I didn’t realize you’re so influential. What medicine do you need? Is it for a sick pet at home?”

Gu Zi shook her head and sneered, “No, since you are Ah Zhuang’s uncle and not an outsider, I’ll just tell you straight. There’s a woman at my workplace who’s alwavs causing trouble for me. I want to teach her a lesson. Ah Zhuang said you have a kind of medicine here that can cause diarrhea. He bought some a few days ago. Give me more of that medicine.”

The old man didn’t expect this beautiful woman to be so malicious, but he had no reason to refuse a business opportunity, no matter what she intended to use the medicine for.

After all, this kind of medicine wouldn’t kill anyone, and since Ah Zhuang had even told her about buying the medicine, their relationship must be quite deep. He wasn’t worried about any trouble..
