Episode 29

Mu Ziru heard that a Suzhou businessman fainted in Shanghai by disguising twenty tans of opium as medicine, so he stored it in the warehouse on the No. 18 Bund. He took people to seal the warehouse overnight and found only two tans of opium. He handed a tan on the ban on smoking ban, gave Jin Shirong sixty tans, and he left 100 tans, and then secretly sold it to Boss Hu. Unexpectedly, the batch of opium was from the Security Command, but the quantity was twenty tans.

Mr. Jin wanted to be a senator in the Executive Yuan after being whitewashed, but Mu Ziru caused such a big disaster. He went to the Security Command to clear the relationship and ordered Mu Ziru to fill up twenty dans of opium as soon as possible. Mu Ziru was stunned. He found only two dans, suspected that the Security Command reported false accounts. He was suffering from the lack of conclusive evidence. He sent someone to inquire about the news. As long as evidence of the military smuggling of opium, he could take the opportunity to turn the tables.

Mu Ziru revealed to reporters that Xiong Shihui was suspected of smuggling opium in the military. The reporter published the news in the newspaper. The matter soon spread and citizens demanded the removal of Xiong Shihui.An official from the Nanjing Ministry of Finance called Jin Shirong to hold Jin Shirong accountable. Jin Shirong went directly to settle the score with Mu Ziru, warning him not to disclose any information to the reporter, and ordered him to hand over twenty loads of opium tomorrow, otherwise he would bear the consequences.

Mu Ziru knew that he was doomed, and he wanted to take Kang Erniu to run away overnight. Kang Erniu made it clear that she and Mu Ziru had broken up, and she wanted to stay and continue making movies and open a hotel. Mu Ziru was immediately angry and forced Kang Erniu to give him the money, but Kang Erniu refused.

Mu Ziru looted all Kang Erniu's money, but unexpectedly, Jin Shirong had already sent someone to squat downstairs. They arrested Mu Ziru on the spot and confiscated all the money.Xia Yuan and Chu Shaohua came to visit Xia Chu's grave together. Xia Yuan regretted not leaving Xia Chu at home to do business. He could not follow those people to do revolution and would not lose his life. Although Chu Shaohua and Xia Chu had not held their wedding, Xia Yuan had long regarded Chu Shaohua as a family. He invited Chu Shaohua to join the Orange Well Hall and wanted to hand over the Shanghai medicine shop to Chu Shaohua for full management. Chu Shaohua agreed to think about it carefully.

When Chu Shaohua heard that Mu Ziru had stolen all the money from Kang Erniu, he came to the hotel to find her. Chu Shaohua sympathized with Kang Erniu's experience. She would never forget that Kang Erniu once gave her half a piece of oil cake. Chu Shaohua treated Kang Erniu as his own sister, and didn't know how to comfort Kang Erniu and promised to stay by her side. Kang Erniu complained to Chu Shaohua, and Chu Shaohua persuaded Kang Erniu to cheer up.

When Xia Yuan heard that Mu Ziru was missing, he praised Wen Zhiqiu and Chu Shaohua's ability to do things.Wen Zhiqiu found out that the Suzhou merchants brought twenty loads of opium, so he asked Xia Yuan to inquire about the origin of the goods. Xia Yuan found out that the goods were from Song Ziwen of the Nanjing Ministry of Finance. Wen Zhiqiu bribed Xiaolin, the younger brother beside Mu Ziru, and asked Xiaolin to tell Mu Ziru the news, and Xiaolin told Wen Zhiqiu the time of Mu Ziru's action.

Wen Zhiqiu took the lead to the Bund Warehouse No. 18, snatched away eighteen dans of opium, leaving only two dans.When Mu Ziru brought his people to the warehouse, he heard that Qiu had already taken his people away.Xia Yuan wanted to sell 18 pounds of opium to the Northeast to make a fortune. He heard that Qiu didn't want to kill himself for money and wanted to destroy all the opium. The two of them had their own opinions and refused to give in to each other.

Xia Yuan had already shipped the eighteen thrones of opium to the northeast. Wen Zhiqiu turned against him on the spot and left the table without eating. Chu Shaohua clearly stated that they opened a pharmacy to cure diseases and save people, but opium was a harm to people. Xia Yuan did not want to lose such a large amount of money. Chu Shaohua could not persuade him, and followed Wen Zhiqiu and left. Before leaving, Chu Shaohua refused Xia Yuan's invitation. She wanted to continue to stay in Wen's pharmacy.

Zhou Yan had worked for a month and only took twenty copper coins. She thought the money was too small and complained in front of Chu Shaozhong. Chu Shaozhong advised her to be content.When Xiaobao came home from school, he looked for knives everywhere when he entered the door and wanted to kill the teacher and the principal. Chu Shaozhong tried his best to stop him and tried to persuade him to comfort Xiaobao. He learned that Xiaobao was expelled from the school for a fight.

Zhou Yan came to invite Chu Shaohua to have dinner at home in the evening. At the door, he heard that Chu Shaohua wanted to send Cheng Hui to study abroad.Kang Erniu encouraged Wen Zhiqiu to confess his love to Chu Shaohua and promised to help him. Wen Zhiqiu smiled but said nothing.Zhou Yan carefully prepared a large table of dishes and taught Xiaobao to please Chu Shaohua and let him recognize Chu Shaohua as his mother. Chu Shaohua then rushed over. Zhou Yan hinted that Xiaobao recognized Chu Shaohua as his mother. Chu Shaohua had only one condition. As long as Xiaobao scored 100 points in each subject, Xiaobao was discouraged.

Zhou Yan told Chu Shaohua about Xiaobao's expulsion and asked Chu Shaohua to find a good school for Xiaobao. Chu Shaohua suggested that Xiaobao learn a craft. Zhou Yan moved out that Chu Shaohua would run a study abroad for Cheng Hui, and asked Chu Shaohua to give Xiaobao a portion of money for studying abroad.
