Chapter 1 Unemployment

Next Chapter

Shen Liumei walked out of the gate of the traditional Chinese medicine hospital, and was illuminated by the hot sun, but her feverish mind calmed down, and she didn't know where to go for a while.

"Liu Mei, go out?" A colleague passed by and greeted him politely.

Shen Liumei responded casually, her eyes fell on the other side of the road, the benefits of the traditional Chinese medicine hospital are naturally not as good as other hospitals, and the passenger flow is less, so there are not many pharmacies on the opposite side.

One of the largest pharmacies on the façade has just been renovated, and workers are putting the finishing touches on it.

When Shen Liumei walked over, the little worker was throwing down the quaint wooden sign to replace it with a fresh and fashionable signboard.

"Hey, be careful..."The little worker saw someone bending over to pick up something on his scaffolding, and hurriedly reminded him with a little unhappiness.

Shen Liumei shook the wooden sign in her hand, the three words "Shunhetang" were stained with sand, and then looked up at the bright new signboard.

"Corning Pharmacy—" she muttered, unable to suppress the sourness in her heart.

“… Sister is back? The brother-in-law with a big belly saw her from the window with melon seeds and greeted her.

Shen Liumei hummed and went in with the sign.

"Sister, so early? …… Off work? ”

was pushed by his brother-in-law, and his younger brother, who was buried in front of the computer, raised his head.

A trace of embarrassment flashed on Shen Liumei's face, and she mumbled vaguely, looking at the sign in her hand, and had the heart to ask a few words, but when she saw her younger brother buried in the computer game again, and her brother-in-law stood at the door with a seven-month-old belly, she swallowed the instructions of the two small workers.

Standing in the rearranged medicine hall, Shen Liumei was uncomfortable for a moment, the familiar smell of traditional Chinese medicine was mixed with the smell of this decoration paint, the newly added medicine cabinets were already full of various Western medicines, and the Chinese medicine cabinets that once occupied the main position were placed in the northwest corner, which seemed very lonely, and the counters with paint were particularly uncoordinated here, just like themselves.

Shen Liumei sighed and entered the backyard from the small door.

This is their own façade of the Shen family, with a total of three floors, one floor store, and two or three floors to live in.

The ancestor of the Shen family opened a pharmacy, and it is said that he was still one of the top pharmaceutical merchants in Anguo back then, but when it was passed on to her father's generation, it no longer had the brilliance of the year, and the next generation was afraid that even this ancestral business would not be wanted.....

Shen Liumei's father was sitting in the courtyard, studying a teapot, and was too focused to notice that his daughter came in.

"Dad.." Shen Liumei hesitated, but couldn't help but speak.

Shen Liumei's father glanced up at her and answered.

"Dad...."Shen Liumei handed him the wooden sign in her hand, "My brother wants to deal in Western medicine, it's nothing, but why did he change the name of the store?" Grandpa didn't say that this name was passed down for several lifetimes......"

Before Shen Liumei's father could speak, the beaded curtain in the kitchen rattled, and a chubby woman walked out.

"......... this new name is the ..... that Xiaohui asked the master to come up with." She said with a smile, looking at Shen Liumei, "....I just settled down, and I was about to tell you.....Meizi, you read a lot, how about you give me an idea..."

Just set it up and hang it up? Shen Liumei smiled bitterly in her heart and told me my opinion? It's really lifting me.

"Auntie." She didn't say anything.

This is her stepmother, for so many years, Shen Liumei has always called her like this, and she has not been beaten less when she was a child.

Shen Liumei's father has always turned a blind eye to the relationship between his daughter and his wife, as his wife said, his daughter always wants to marry outside, so there is no need to worry too much.

“… Why did you come back so early? He pushed his glasses and asked, "Off work?" ”

"I resigned." Shen Liumei said simply.

"What?" The father and aunt in the courtyard stared at each other in surprise, "Resign? ”

Shen Liumei nodded, didn't want to talk anymore, turned around and went upstairs.

"....Stop!" Father Shen reflected and was furious, almost dropping the baby teapot in his hand, "What kind of job do you want to resign?" Who did you consult? ”

Shen Liumei's stepmother hurriedly took the teapot, "Look at you, if you have something to say, you will be shocked and scare the child....."

These words made Shen's father even more angry.

"Kid? It's twenty-four! Or a child? He slapped the table angrily, "Do you know how difficult it is to find you this job?" Yes? You're good, the two of you quit as soon as you talk about it? Yes? ”

The stepmother persuaded him to sit down, and took the time to say to Shen Liumei on the stairs: "Meizi, I didn't say you, you should discuss this matter with your family..... I know that the benefits of the Chinese medicine hospital are not good... But.. No matter how big the hospital is, our relationship is really not enough....... you are temporarily wronged in the Chinese medicine hospital...."

"What grievances? In this world, it is a great joy to have a formal job....." Father Shen was even more anxious, and easily smashed a teacup on the ground, making a crisp sound.

"What's wrong?" The brother and daughter-in-law in the medicine hall outside immediately ran over and lifted the curtain to look in.

Shen Liumei's stepmother was busy giving her a look, and her brother-in-law stood behind the curtain and did not come in.

"You are still wronged, what do you have to be wronged? Think the unit is not good? Who told you not to study hard, you have the ability to take the Tsinghua University and Peking University exams, and use Lao Tzu to find you a job? ..... good food and drink for you to go to school, what major to choose is not good, you have to choose Chinese medicine, you think that after a few days of learning from your grandfather, you can become a fine.. … Okay, graduated and can't find a job, right? … You Lao Tzu and I bothered to beg grandpa to sue grandma for seventy or eighty thousand yuan to send out, so that I could get you this official preparation, and grab the medicine at the pharmacy, it can be regarded as whatever you want?.. ....Are you still aggrieved? What grievances do you still have? Yes? Father Shen pounded the table and jumped like thunder.

I didn't say anything wronged, Shen Liumei pursed her lips and glanced at her stepmother who was watching the show on the side.

"..... Meizi, if you want to talk about your major, it's good in our pharmacy, it's just ....." The stepmother pulled Shen's father's arm, afraid that he would rush up and hit the child, and said with a sincere face, ".. You just have a formal establishment, and it doesn't affect the management of our pharmacy...."

"Don't even think about it! It's her turn! Father Shen interrupted her words and slapped the table angrily.

Shen Liumei looked at her stepmother, a hint of ridicule flashed on her lips, I was really worried, I didn't want to think about it for a long time.

"Dad, it's not me quitting." She raised her voice and looked at the two people in the courtyard, "I was fired." ”

When night came up, Shen Liumei was ready to go out for a walk.

In the living room, the father is still studying the teapot, the younger brother and his sister-in-law are huddled in front of the laptop and whispering and laughing, and the stepmother is eating strawberries with a plate and watching TV.

"Meizi, come and eat." The stepmother hurriedly greeted her and patted the sofa, "I was about to send it to you..."

"Is it merit to eat idle food? Still have to serve her? Father Shen said with annoyance.

"Sister, is the Bai Qi in the pharmacy of the Chinese medicine hospital really fake? How can you tell? The younger brother looked up from the computer with interest and asked, "Look at the batch of goods that our family has entered, is it ..... fake?"

"After a few days of studying, you think you know everything?" Father Shen interrupted his question angrily, and looked at Shen Liumei, who was silent, "You are an understanding person?" Do you have what it takes? Others can't see it's fake? What a big tail eagle! ”

Shen Liumei walked out without saying a word.

"You still don't understand the rules of ..... pharmacy procurement? ..... actually persuaded the patient not to come here to grab the medicine..... are you brainburned or ...... Where are you going? Father Shen raised his voice and asked.

"Going out to dinner with friends." Shen Liumei threw down a sentence.

Listening to the sound of the door, Shen Liumei's father only felt depressed.

"I can still eat at this time...."He put the teapot on the table and let out a long sigh, "..... the hospital has already offended and died....I can't go back....what can I do?" You can't live without a job ..... someone of this age."

"Dad, let my sister come to the store at home, I just went out, a few of our classmates said okay, let's start an online game together....." Shen Liumei's younger brother immediately raised his head and said with his eyebrows fluttering.

"Go, what do you know about the child's house!" Shen Liumei's stepmother immediately cut him off, and Shen Liumei's younger brother had the heart to say more, but was pulled twice by his brother-in-law, lowered his head and said nothing.

There was a little bit of anger in the room for a while, everyone had their own thoughts, and no one spoke.

Shen Liumei, who walked out of the door, looked back, a hint of ridicule appeared on her lips, but there was a loss in her eyes that could not be hidden.

"Meizi, don't blame your dad for being angry, you are really too impulsive to do this....." Her friend Su Li poured Shen Liumei another glass of beer, frowned and said, "You too... I have to remind the person who grabbed the medicine to be careful, be secretive, how did you get caught by your dean....."

Shen Liumei smiled bitterly and said: "I have done a lot of this, I will always be seen, and people with a heart will naturally pay attention to it, that is, if the dean does not come to arrest me today, it will be a ...... in the next two days tomorrow."

Su Li sighed and took a drink first, "Meizi, in fact, this matter has nothing to do with you..."

Shen Liumei pursed her lips and didn't speak, and drank the beer in one gulp.

Su Li smiled again, and put the chopsticks on the table, "Ha, what is this, who doesn't know our Liu Daxia's temper, you don't care about this, I'm still strange!" fired you, this is because they have no eyes and can't keep you....."

Shen Liumei smiled, and the proprietress of the snack bar came over with a plate of hot dishes.

"Meizi, I'll add a dish for you." The proprietress said with a smile, and asked curiously, "Liu for a while, Shen for a while, Meizi, what is your surname?" ”

This snack bar is very simple, just set up a shed on the side of the road, the boss makes a good fried broth, but it is also famous, Shen Liumei is a frequent visitor here.

"Thank you, hostess." Shen Liumei smiled even more, and explained to her, "My family's surname is Shen, but my surname was Liu when I was a child, and it was a rule handed down by my ancestors..."

The rule is that whoever wants to inherit the pharmacy must have the surname Liu, but since her younger brother has grown older, her name has become Shen Liumei.

Dad said, what age is it, and this old rule, how can his children have other surnames.

"Oh? That's a strange rule, is it because there are female elders in the family surnamed Liu? Now that there are fewer children, I heard that mothers also have the right to inherit their names, and they often add their surnames to their children's names....." The proprietress asked curiously.

"Then I don't know, a few lifetimes ago..."Shen Liumei said with a smile.

I'm afraid there won't be this rule in the future.....

"By the way, Meizi, you can see that the medicine I caught is fine..."The proprietress took out a paper bag from her other hand, "...... I've been eating this dogwood soup for a long time, but it doesn't work, is the doctor prescribing the wrong .....?"

Shen Liumei opened the paper bag, flicked the Wu Zhuyu in it with her hand, reached out and pinched a few and put them in her mouth, with a helpless smile on her face.

"You just eat it for another year and it won't work, it's a fake dogwood," she said.

"Huh?" The proprietress was a little surprised, and a little suspicious, "This.. This is the ...... I caught from the Third Provincial Hospital."

Su Li also came over at this time, she knew a little about traditional Chinese medicine, and curiously pulled the pile of Wu Zhuyu, "This is not fake...."

"This is neem leaf Dogwood, the appearance is the same as Dogwood, but it is not medicinal, you can taste it..."Shen Liumei said, motioning to Su Li.

Su Li carefully pinched a little and tasted it, and vomited, "It's so unpalatable...."

"Unpalatable? It's not unpalatable, it's really more unpalatable, and it's spicy. Shen Liumei said with a smile.

"Oh, this one doesn't taste spicy!" Su Li was stunned.

"Wu Zhuyu is also called tea spicy, of course it is spicy..."Shen Liumei said with a smile, pushing the paper bag to the proprietress , "You can grab the medicine again." ”

The proprietress angrily grabbed the paper bag, "Don't catch it, the old lady still takes Western medicine, I knew that this broken Chinese medicine would not work..."

With that, he turned around and left.

Shen Liumei smiled bitterly when she heard this, picked up her wine glass and looked at Su Li and said, "... Have you seen it, everyone says that Chinese medicine is useless and useless, and how many Chinese medicine doctors are going to be wrongfully killed..."

Su Li was also a little angry, but more helpless, and patted her hands, "How can we little people take care of these things....don't talk about this, Meizi, I lost my job in the Chinese medicine hospital, what are you going to do?" ”

Do what? Shen Liumei shook the wine glass in her hand.

“… Herb... Open a pharmacy, Chinese medicine shop ......" she muttered, as if she was back to her childhood, sitting in a room full of all kinds of medicinal materials, squatting next to her grandfather who concocted medicinal materials, listening to interesting stories of Chinese medicine, and smelling the strong fragrance of medicine.......

Maybe it was because of a few more drinks, breaking up with friends and walking in the night, Shen Liumei was blown by the wind, and felt that her head began to dizzy, and the street in front of her was a little blurry...............

A half-old pallet truck swayed over and knocked Shen Liumei, who was walking to the middle of the road and raising her hand to touch her head.

“… Brother Quan....man was killed...."

“… Depend on... It's not just a lesson for you..."

"....brakes are broken...... Brother Quan..... what should I do? ”

“… If you're dead, you're dead....she's going to talk about my medicine and get into big trouble again... I heard that the girl's family also sells medicine, and now in this world, the person who sells medicine does not sell fake medicine, and he deserves retribution....."

“… Brother Quan... We seem to be selling counterfeit medicines too...."

“……..”

Shen Liumei felt like a catkins flying.

Boundless, endless, headless, and full of white clouds and mist exuding cold.

What's going on? She clearly saw that she was hit by a car and then collapsed in a pool of blood, could this be an out-of-body experience?

When he couldn't understand it, he suddenly felt his body sink, and he broke out of the mist, and before he could react, the person fell violently.

Yes------

Shen Liumei screamed, and she felt suffocated and fainted.
