12 What if I can’t? (1/2)

Shopkeeper Yu looked at the beggar, but the old mute beggar scowled and shook his head indicating his refusal to give the paper to him.

Seeing that the old mute beggar is not willing to cooperate, shopkeeper Yu's face turned white. His forehead and back started to sweat heavily.

He can also feel a cold pair of eyes from the upper part of the medical pavilion. ”Miss, why are you trying to slander our medical pavilion? Give me the paper so I can confirm what is really on it!”

The claim about the walnuts being poisonous is a very bad news. It will give a bad reputation to the Medical Pavilion.

Aside from walnuts being a common medicine for minor ailments, it can also be eaten anytime as a snack. Even kids can eat it anytime!

If this is proven it will be a disaster for him mostly, as the medical pavilion is supposed to have special areas where the medicines are planted.

Shopkeeper Yu gulped. His throat became dry and he badly wanted to drink water. It's better if he can just vanish.

This is because he sometimes buys herbs from cheaper sources and secretly mixes it with the original herbs cultivated from the medical pavilion farm to earn money. The walnuts were just mixed last night.

Right! No one can prove that it was not the medical pavilion herb from the farm as the cheaper ones are mixed!

On the other hand, it is also possible the poisonous ones are from the farm. Thinking this, shopkeeper Yu was feeling much better.

”If you do not believe me, you can just eat a walnut that's being referred to by the old mute beggar to prove this.” For Gao Lan Mei, whatever was written on the paper does not matter. Proving this instead will save her time.

”What?!” She wants me to eat a possible poisonous walnut?! Shopkeeper Yu is getting dizzy.
