The Gao Family had never imagined things would turn out this way. They thought that if the other party refused to let them take the person away, they would simply cause a scene, after all, she was their own kin — how could anyone refuse to let them take her back?
But they had not anticipated that the medicine would cost silver. Hadn't they already provided the silver?
"This, hasn't this already been paid?" Mrs. Gao asked, pointing to her granddaughter's face.
Qin Liuxi said, "This ointment was sold at half price as a kindness. It can't be considered a gift. Oh, how much silver did you give just now?"
Her latter words were directed at Ms. Gao.
Ms. Gao's face was burning with shame as she replied, "Twenty-nine wen."
Not even half a coin of silver, let alone the thousand taels per ointment as claimed.
Even so, Mrs. Gao felt extremely pained and, without thinking, scolded, "Have you gone mad? Daring to claim you spent twenty-nine wen..."
