Love Lock

Chapter 84 Doctors Don't Knock on Doors
Zhao Zun once said that among the four great families, apart from the Song family, which was influenced by family traditions from childhood, valuing morality and etiquette, and being gentle and refined, the other three families were extremely powerful, oppressing the people and running rampant in the countryside. They often used their fists and feet to beat innocent people, and if they were slightly displeased, they would destroy people's houses and seize their land.

The evil deeds of the three powerful families were abhorrent to both gods and men. However, with the government backing them up, the common people suffered immensely and could only endure it silently, fearing to bring trouble upon themselves.

The Su family that Yang Haibo mentioned was the Empress's maternal family—the family of the Marquis of Champion and Princess Chang Le. Han Lei could get a glimpse of this from Princess Chang Le's arrogant and haughty demeanor.

At this moment, Da Wu leaned close to Han Lei's ear and whispered, "Miss, what he said might be true. I heard him say outside the door that now I'll have money to buy medicine for my mother."

"Hmm!" Han Lei nodded gently. She could also see that the two thieves in front of her were just unfortunate people oppressed by feudal society.

Han Lei sighed softly, got up, and walked over to personally help Yang Haibo and Tang Xiaotong up. "Please sit down and talk!"

The two men were apprehensive but still rose and sat down, repeatedly expressing their gratitude. "Thank you, thank you, young lady."

"Don't steal anymore. Just come and help me sell wine openly. Okay?" Han Lei asked softly after sitting back down.

"what?"

Yang Haibo thought he had misheard, his face filled with disbelief.

They stole the girl's wine, but instead of blaming them, she asked them to come and help her sell the wine.

Han Lei chuckled and repeated, "I said, you don't need to sneak around anymore. Just come and help me sell wine, and I'll pay you. How about it?"

Yang Haibo and Tang Xiaotong were overjoyed upon hearing this, but were immediately puzzled.

"Young lady, we don't have any special skills. Can... can we help you?"

“Of course.” Han Lei smiled sweetly. “You two have a knack for business. The fact that you were able to sell the stolen wine at a high price shows that you not only have courage, but also a smart mind.”

Yang Haibo and his companion exchanged a stunned glance. Was this girl praising them?

"How about we eat and chat?" Han Lei gestured for Da Wu and the others to sit down, then picked up the wine jug on the table and personally filled their glasses. "How do you like this wine?"

Yang Haibo and his companion stood up awkwardly to thank him, and only after everyone at the table had started eating did they pick up their wine glasses and take a small sip.

The moment the wine enters the throat, a fiery sensation rushes down, followed by a rich and lingering aroma.

"how?"

Han Lei smiled as she looked at the two of them, and the brothers from the Big Character Team also looked at them expectantly.

"Young lady, this is truly an exquisite wine!"

Yang Haibo smacked his lips, a blush rising on his cheeks, not from the alcohol, but from embarrassment and shame.

“Young lady, to tell you the truth, after stealing your wine, we didn’t even taste a drop, because we were trying to get medicine for my mother. We sold it all for money.”

"Hahaha..." Everyone at the table was amused by his words.

"Hehehe, we all know that." Han Lei laughed heartily, "We not only know that you haven't tasted a single drop, but we also know that you said even immortals would nod in approval if they drank this wine."

"This……"

Upon hearing this, Yang Haibo and his companion blushed even more.

They thought they had gotten away with stealing the wine, but little did they know that their every move was being watched.

Da Wu patted Yang Meibo on the shoulder and gave him a thumbs up, "You guys really are skilled at reading people and charging exorbitant prices. You've got a real knack for it."

These were meant to be compliments, but Yang Haibo felt incredibly embarrassed hearing them and could only manage a couple of dry laughs. Han Lei continued the previous topic, "What do you think of what I said? As long as you're willing to join my team and work for me, I'll make sure you live a better life than you do now."

"Really? You're willing to take us in?" Yang Haibo and Tang Xiaotong were overjoyed to hear this.

"Of course it's true. But let me make this clear: if you dare to betray me or do anything illegal or disorderly, I won't hold back."

Han Lei's tone was resolute, a cold glint flashing in her eyes. Life was difficult for ordinary people in this era, but she wouldn't allow her subordinates to steal or rob.

"No, no."

Seeing that Han Lei was serious, Yang Haibo and his companion were so excited they didn't know what to say. This was like a windfall!
Seeing this, Da Wu assumed they were still hesitating and interjected, "What are you hesitating for? Hurry up and agree! My daughter is very kind to people and will never treat you unfairly."

"Yes, say yes already!"

“Look, we all work for the girl, and she has never treated us badly.”

"The girl even saved our lives!"

The brothers in the Big Character Team also happily echoed their sentiments.

The two then came to their senses and knelt down to kowtow to Han Lei.

"We are honored by your high regard, young lady. We brothers will certainly serve you with utmost loyalty."

"Hehe, welcome to our big family. From now on, we're all one family." Han Lei walked over and helped them up, then raised her glass and said, "Come on, let's all have a toast to welcome them both."

Everyone applauded and raised their glasses in a toast.

After downing a drink, Yang Haibo and the other man became less reserved and more relaxed.

Han Lei and the others ate while discussing business.

"You say this wine is so good that even the gods would approve. Why don't we name it 'Drunken Immortal's Brew'?"

"Great name!"

Everyone agreed.

"I will open a tavern called Drunken Immortal Brew in the capital, and I will leave it to Yang Haibo to manage," Han Lei said, looking at Yang Haibo.

"The capital? You're leaving it to me to manage?" Yang Haibo was flattered.

He thought he would at most be running errands for Han Lei, but he never expected that Han Lei would appoint him as the manager of a tavern, and not just any tavern, but one in the capital. What a show of trust she had in him!
Han Lei nodded with absolute certainty.

"Yes, I'm entrusting him to you. I have high hopes for you! Tang Xiaotong is still too young. Let him stay by your side and guide him more so that he can be able to stand on his own in the future."

"Yes, Miss Han. Don't worry. We will do our best!" Yang Haibo and Tang Xiaotong nodded repeatedly, overjoyed.

Han Lei's decision had already surprised Yang Haibo and his partner, but unexpectedly, Han Lei dropped an even bigger bombshell.

"You should return to Taoyuan County first to observe the brewing process of Zuixian Wine, so that you can better introduce it to your guests later. After you return, bring your mother here so I can take a look at her! I know some medical skills and may be able to treat her. Only after she is cured can you go to the capital together."

They say that doctors don't sting, and morality isn't sold cheaply. Is this young lady going to take the initiative to treat his mother's illness?

Upon hearing this, Yang Haibo and Tang Xiaotong felt a flash of inspiration and exclaimed in their hearts: What incredible luck they had!
