267: You must take this new healing pill

“You must take this New Healing Pill. We arrived a bit late, and this is the only New Healing Pill left on the train. If you take it, your legs will recover, and you'll be able to take better care of Father Su and Mother Su.”

Wang Yi's words were indeed true, but Zhuang Sanming already had one New Healing Pill in his hand, and another in his storage bag… He hadn't decided whether to take it yet, but now it was clear. If he didn't take it soon, everyone would probably be trying to give him pills.

So he waved his hand at Wang Yi, “You wait a moment.”

After saying that, he tossed the sparkling, translucent pill in his hand into his mouth and swallowed it with some water from a cup.

A short while later, his leg was completely healed.

Zhuang Sanming slowly stood up and walked a few steps by the sofa.

Wang Yi exclaimed in surprise, “The one you just took, was that also a New Healing Pill?”

Zhuang Sanming nodded.

Xiong Mao immediately stepped forward and shouted, “I just gave that to him! You guys are too late!”

Wang Yi instantly understood. No wonder the New Healing Pills on the green train were sold out; it turned out they had all been bought by them.

“Then…” He was about to say a few more words to persuade Zhuang Sanming to accept the New Healing Pill he had brought, when Gu Mingzhu interrupted him from behind.

“Then please accept this bottle of water. It was also bought from the green train. I heard it has miraculous effects,” Gu Mingzhu placed the water on the table.

“And ours too.”

Ge Yunying and Feng Zhi also quickly took out their water.

Zhuang Sanming could practically set up a stall at home to sell New Healing Pills and train exclusive water.

“No need…” He wanted to refuse, but everyone didn't give him a chance to. After putting down their items, they went straight to Ximen Chuifeng and Xiong Mao, making it clear they wouldn't listen to his refusal.

Hearing the commotion outside, Father Su came out from inside and asked, “Sanming, who came to our house?”

“Ah, it's my… and my cousin's friends,” Zhuang Sanming said.

“Your leg is completely healed?” Father Su was pleasantly surprised to see Zhuang Sanming walk over without any issues with his legs.

“Mhm,” Zhuang Sanming nodded. “Oh, right, you should hurry and eat. It's been out for so long, it must be cold by now.”

After saying that, he turned back to Ximen Chuifeng and the others and said, “Have you all had breakfast yet? Let's eat together, but I didn't expect you to come, so I made a little less…”

“Good thing we brought breakfast!”

Xiao Shen's voice came from the doorway, with Liu Ling'er and Zheng Jinfeng beside him. All three held food bags containing steamed buns, meat pies, fried dough sticks, and other foods freshly bought from the guild's market.

“Brother Sanming, please don't mind us coming uninvited. This bottle of water is for you,” Xiao Shen took out a bottle of train exclusive water after placing the food bags on the table.

“And mine too. The Healing Pills were sold out, so I only managed to buy one New Upgrade Martial Pill,” Liu Ling'er quickly took out the pill.

“Me too.” Zheng Jinfeng wasn't a talkative person, but she genuinely wanted to help Zhuang Sanming handle Su Duo's funeral arrangements. After all… if it hadn't been for the help of the neighbors with Lao Chu's funeral at the time, she really wouldn't have known what to do.

“The New Healing Pills were all bought by us, so of course you couldn't get any,” Ximen Chuifeng said with a wry smile. It turned out he wasn't the only one who had planned to come help.

“Alright, everyone, please sit down,” Zhuang Sanming was indeed very resistant to their help at first, but everyone was here for Su Duo, and he shouldn't refuse on her behalf.

“Yes, everyone, hurry and eat. We can get things done after eating.”

…By noon, with everyone's help, the Su Family had finished all preparations. Su Duo… was about to be buried.

The neighbors, hearing about the matter, also came. Some genuinely mourned for the lost young life, while others came to cause trouble.

Like Qi Feifei.

“Oh! Isn't this the Su Family? What, hanging white silk already?” Qi Feifei had heard the news that the Su Family was holding a funeral early this morning, so she came when there were a lot of people.

She had always disliked Mother Su, feeling that she and Mother Su were clearly similar, so why could Mother Su have a good job, marry a good man, and even have such a sensible nephew as Zhuang Sanming? A while ago, Zhuang Sanming even received an employment notice from the Alchemy Hall… Although Zhuang Sanming ultimately didn't go to the Alchemy Hall, that was still a unique honor.

Although Su Duo wasn't as sensible, she was at least obedient, unlike her child, who was several years old but still couldn't say a word when seeing people, like a mute.

Whenever Mother Su had any trouble, Father Su would always protect her, afraid that Mother Su would suffer any grievances, but what about her? She was just the mistress of one of the Axe Gang's members!

Why?

She pushed her way through the crowd to the front, hands on her hips, looking at Mother Su.

She even raised an eyebrow.

The meaning was: So what if your man is stronger than mine? So what if you have a good nephew? Your daughter still died, didn't she?

Mother Su's eyes were red and swollen, clearly having cried for a long time. Now, even if she was still sad, her tears had pretty much dried up.

Father Su had been holding her hand tightly, never letting go.

Qi Feifei's words were extremely harsh, and everyone present couldn't bear to listen.

“How can you speak like that, a woman, saying such unpleasant things.”

“Are you their relative? A friend? If not, hurry up and leave, so we don't have to physically remove you.”

“What kind of person is this? Do you think your family will never have a day for a funeral?”

“If you're not genuinely here to help, can you please leave?”

“…”

Qi Feifei hadn't expected these neighbors not only to not side with her, but to all be scolding her. She immediately broke down, “You know nothing! Her family's daughter dying is what she deserved!”

“What did you say?!”

Zhuang Sanming was originally busy inside the house. He came out to discuss the next steps with Father Su and Mother Su, but as soon as he reached the door, he heard that sentence. His face instantly turned cold.

“I, I…” Qi Feifei was someone who bullied the weak and feared the strong. She struck hard at the teary-eyed Mother Su, but as soon as someone was fierce towards her, she would become scared.

Zhuang Sanming immediately zeroed in on Qi Feifei. He knew this person; she lived near the Su Family and had always been at odds with Mother Su. Every time she saw Mother Su doing well, she would feel unbalanced, but she could never win an argument with Mother Su and would always return dejectedly.

“Brother Sanming, what happened? Do you need our help?”

The commotion outside quickly reached inside. Wang Yi rushed out in one swift movement and saw a flustered Qi Feifei standing at the front of the crowd opposite, knowing that this woman must have upset Zhuang Sanming.

Xiao Shen, Ximen Chuifeng, and Xiong Mao followed closely. The men stood behind Zhuang Sanming, their gazes sharp, exuding an aura of one man holding off ten thousand.

Qi Feifei trembled even more in fear, “You, you… You shouldn't bully orphans and widows! My man is from the Axe Gang!”
