Across at the Qilin Hall, it finally welcod an unprecedented scene.
The shop was crowded with people in three layers inside and three layers outside.
Manager Sun didn’t expect that the grand scene he had been longing for would co like this, but not in the way he wanted.
His shop had no security, and he himself was being tightly held by the third brother and a neighbor.
Manager Sun stomped his foot, "Let go of , let go, we can talk this over."
A door panel was placed in the main hall, and the eldest brother glared, "Your shop gave the wrong dicine, it killed my mother, how do you plan to settle this?"
Manager Sun helplessly said, "Tell how you want to settle it."
The third brother looked at him, "Even if you compensate with your life, my mother won’t co back."
"No matter what, it’s only right for you to cover the funeral expenses, the money for the coffin and all."
Manager Sun had no choice but to say, "I’ll cover it, I’ll cover it."
"How about this, I will pay twenty taels of silver, and we can just drop it."
The third brother spat harshly, "Bah, is my mother’s life only worth twenty taels?"
"A decent coffin costs more than that alone!"
He exchanged a glance with the eldest brother, and the eldest brother said, "Bring out one hundred taels, and we can call it settled."
Manager Sun widened his eyes, "How much? One hundred taels?"
He angrily said, "This is extortion!"
The third brother punched him in the head, "You dare say we’re extorting, isn’t this about a living person’s life?"
Manager Sun took the punch and simply lay down on the ground, "They’ve killed , killed ."
"Everyone, go report this to the officials for !"
After shouting twice, he suddenly thought of sothing and got up from the ground quickly, "I’m not paying any more."
"I wasn’t the one who picked the dicine, it was the employees, go find them instead."
"Once we get to the governnt office, if there’s silver to pay, pay the silver; if there’s jail ti, go to jail, it’s all their business."
The two staff behind the counter were already shivering with fear.
Hearing Manager Sun say this, the two were dumbfounded.
It was true they picked the dicine, but they were just employees earning eight coins of silver a month, how could they possibly afford compensation?
Let alone going to jail.
Previously, when other pharmacies had such issues, the owner would just pay the silver to resolve it.
Otherwise, the risk for employees would be too high.
This family causing trouble naturally wasn’t stupid; a few coins a staff mber might have, but the shopkeeper undoubtedly had more money.
The third brother looked at Manager Sun, "Are you going to pay the silver or not? If not, don’t bla us."
Manager Sun shook his head confidently, "I don’t have silver, let’s go to the governnt office and let the authorities judge."
"Let’s go, let’s go, everyone out of my shop, we’ll go to the governnt office together!"
The three brothers knew well that the officials would likely only rule for twenty taels, and might even let the staff who picked the dicine go to jail.
They didn’t care about jail ti; it was aningless since their mother had passed and couldn’t be brought back.
The silver was definitely needed.
The third brother suddenly said, "So you’re really not giving the silver?"
Manager Sun simply closed his eyes and remained silent.
The third brother suddenly raised his arm, "Damn it, if you’re not giving the silver, we’ll take it ourselves!"
"The ginseng, gastrodia, ox gallstones, and dog treasures must be worth so silver."
As soon as he finished speaking, the brothers and the neighbors who ca with them rushed toward the counter.
Manager Sun panicked at this, quickly stretched out his hand to stop them.
But he could stop this one and not that one.
Seeing people rushing to the counter, Manager Sun gritted his teeth and shouted, "Don’t cause trouble, I’ll pay you the silver."
If they were to rob him, the loss would certainly be more than a hundred taels.
