Li Shi looked up and down at her, and said sarcastically, "I said Aunt Hou, you are too greedy, you just want to compare with Song Baoling after entering the Hou's mansion for a long time."

"It's not what I said. If it weren't for the child in your belly, I would have let Lian Xin divorce you." Li Shi's few words made Hou Rui feel ashamed.

Li Shi looked at her belly and glanced, "Just because I'm pregnant with a child, I really think I'm something."

After finishing speaking, Li Shi seemed to have thought of something when he was about to leave, so he came back and added, "Take care of your mother, I don't want my son to lose face with her."

Although Hou Rui was angry, she didn't dare to refute, and she also hated Li Shi silently in her heart. If it wasn't for the "child" in her stomach, Mrs. Song might not have promised her to come back.

The next day, Song Baoling went to the city to pick out lots. When the visitor found out that she was Miss Hou's Mansion, she was immediately hospitable. "Miss Song, if you have any requests, please ask. These places are the most prosperous places in our area."

Zhang Hongyue was secretly happy, this was Miss Hou's Mansion, if it became a big deal, he could earn a lot of money.

"I don't want any of these lots. Is there any left over to the west of the city?" Song Baoling asked, holding his chin.

Seeing that the big order was about to fly, Zhang Hongyue smiled awkwardly, "Yes, but the rest are all in bad locations. Miss Song, are you sure you want the one over there?"

Song Baoling nodded, her purpose was just to open a pharmacy to study medical skills and save people, she didn't need a very good location.

Although the location is awkward, the facade is really well decorated. The tables, chairs and wooden furniture inside are all made of high-quality pear blossom wood, and the layout is also carefully designed.

Song Baoling was also shocked by the huge amount, and she suppressed the anger in her heart, "I don't have so much money with me, is a check okay?"

Seeing her approaching, Hou Chunhong immediately gained confidence and began to struggle, "I told you that I know the lady from Hou's house, we can be regarded as a family, let me go soon."

She said that she would return, but she had run too many times before, and the amount of money this time was too large, so people didn't believe it at all.

Moreover, he has lived for so many years, and he has not seen a few women who know medical skills. Even if there are some, most of them are midwives, and they can only scratch the surface.

Hou Chunhong started to regret it at this moment, her voice was as thin as a mosquito, "It's 100 taels."

The two strong men looked at each other and pushed Hou Chunhong to the front, letting her speak by herself.

In his heart, he felt that Song Baoling was a bit overconfident, not to mention which lady could learn medical skills, just saying that Song Baoling's age was suspicious.

Hou Chunhong kept yelling at her, but her body was suppressed by two strong men and she couldn't break free.

"What's going on here?" Song Baoling glanced at Hou Chunhong, only to see that her hair was ripped into a mess, and her body still smelled pungent of alcohol.

Hou Chunhong lowered his head and stretched out a finger. Seeing this situation, Song Baoling had a bad feeling, "Ten taels?"

Zhang Hongyue's eyebrows twitched when he heard it from the side. He thought that Song Baoling made a profit from this store. Hearing what the two of them thought, Miss Hou Fu also has medical skills?

She turned around and leaned down on the desk, picked up a brush, neatly wrote a few lines on the paper and handed it to Lianjiao, "Paste this outside."

"Okay, that's it." Song Baoling sighed a little annoyed, if he knew she would have come to take a look in advance.

The two big men smiled, "Miss Song was joking, if it was really only ten taels, we wouldn't need to go to war like this."

The two burly men naturally had no objection, "As long as you don't default on your debt, of course Miss Song has the final say."

When he was leaving, the big man said, "Hou Chunhong came to us to gamble a lot during this time, and we thought she had made a fortune, so it turned out that she climbed to the Hou's mansion."

Lianjiao was overwhelmed by the smell, and covered her nose in disgust, Song Baoling also took a step back.

"Tsk~" Zhang Hongyue looked at the well-decorated pharmacy with pity in his eyes, and only a rich lady dared to do this.

Song Baoling couldn't deny it, "It's impossible for me to be in the pharmacy every day. If I recruit someone, I can let them sort out the medicinal materials, and I can relax a lot."

Seeing that she was so determined, Zhang Yuehong had no choice but to compromise, and then found a relatively good location in the west of the city, and the two signed an agreement and it was settled.

Hou Chunhong was as excited as seeing a savior, her eyes lit up when she turned her head, "Bao Ling! It's me, I'm Aunt Hou's mother!"

Song Baoling's heart sank, and Lianjiao exclaimed in good time, "But where did she get so many..."

Seeing her complexion, Zhang Yuehong asked hesitantly, "Miss Song, are you not satisfied with the decoration of the facade?"

Lianjiao gasped when she heard that, "What?! 100 taels! Are you crazy?!"

Song Baoling frowned and walked over, only then did he see that Hou Chunhong was at the entrance of a gambling house.

The decoration of the facade was naturally handed over to Zhang Yuehong. After Song Baoling went there on the opening day, he was a little dumbfounded, because the Jinfu was not far from the pharmacy.

Besides, the money had to be deducted from the cashier, so she was naturally embarrassed to spend too much.

"Miss Song, Hou Chunhong lost money with us today, and we did this because we were afraid that she would run away." One of the burly men explained.

Song Baoling paused, then turned around, "How much has she bet during this time?"

Song Baoling nodded in satisfaction, so that he can come here every day in the future, and he doesn't have to keep embarrassing Li Shi everywhere at home.

Song Baoling shook his head slightly, "I'm very satisfied, but can this location be changed?"

The two strong men let go of their hands upon hearing this, but they still guarded Hou Chunhong's side to prevent her from escaping.

Not long after walking, Song Baoling heard a familiar voice calling her name, and she turned her head suspiciously to meet Hou Chunhong's eyes asking for help.

"How much she lost, I will pay it back for her." Song Baoling said, after all, it was Hou Rui's mother, and she didn't want to make too much trouble.

The big man didn't hide it either, "We don't know the specifics, but there are not a few times when we lose more than today."

Zhang Yuehong looked apologetic, "I'm sorry, Miss Song, if you are not satisfied with this facade, you can tear it down and rebuild it, but the location... really can't be changed."

Song Baoling and Lian Jiao didn't know what he was thinking, they simply cleaned up and prepared to go back home.

Hou Chunhong lowered her head very low, she wished she could get into the cracks in the ground at this moment, she felt very regretful, if she knew about it, she would have brought more money out.

"Miss, does the pharmacy want to recruit people?" Lianjiao asked puzzled, in her heart, Miss is already powerful enough.

Seeing her guilty look, Song Baoling guessed how the money came from, and the atmosphere on the way back was very gloomy.

After returning home, Song Baoling immediately called the housekeeper, "Steward Liu, go and check the bills, and make sure to list every bill." Song Baoling looked serious.

Hou Chunhong panicked when she heard this, and slowly backed away, but Song Baoling grabbed the back of her neck when she wanted to slip away, "Follow me to the front hall."

Hou Chunhong immediately begged for mercy, "Baoling, just for my daughter's sake, forget it this time."

"It's up to me whether I can forget it or not." Song Baoling dragged her, and Hou Chunhong was surprised to find that although Song Baoling looked thin, he was not weak at all.
