Then lowered his voice
“I was downstairs just now and I saw those children’s parents chatting idly, but not one of them made anything for their children to eat, not even a bowl of noodle soup. I felt so sorry for these children!”
Doctor You was also furious and went to the door to start cursing downstairs.
"You haven't even cooked a single meal for the children yet! Are your hearts made of stone? These children are still breathing! Before they were found, they all insisted on having someone else look for them. Now that someone has found them for you, why are you just leaving them here unattended?"
He quickly took a few breaths, then output...
"Even raising a cat or dog creates feelings! Let alone children you've raised for ten years, are you planning to starve them to death? If you don't want them anymore, say so now, don't wait until I come up with a cure to remove the poison! And then try to take them back without paying? Let me tell you, that's not allowed! A bunch of shameless bastards, you have no humanity whatsoever!"
The shopkeeper came up right after Doctor You finished cursing.
Seeing how angry he was, she didn't dare to say anything more and just silently watched Liu Zheng.
Liu Zheng understood his meaning and knew his difficulties.
But we can't just kick these children out.
She could only fool the shopkeeper.
"Shopkeeper, our Doctor You is a highly skilled physician. He will surely cure these children within a few days. They definitely won't die in your shop. I'll give you a written agreement: if they die in your shop, I'll compensate you one hundred taels of silver. Is that acceptable?"
The shopkeeper was immediately tempted by the price of one hundred taels; his shop's business was already only so-so.
He didn't know how long it would take him to earn that hundred taels. The shopkeeper appeared troubled, but was secretly overjoyed.
"I see this lady is a kind-hearted person; she's gone to such lengths for these children, it's truly admirable. I'll go prepare the written agreement; would you like to come with me?"
After Liu Zheng agreed, she followed the shopkeeper downstairs.
Not long after, Qin Xian and Mu Feng returned. They didn't go to Doctor You's room, but instead went to find Qin Liang.
Jingming found Qin Luo with three money bags in his hand.
"Sister, this is some loose silver that the temple keeper gave you. He asked me to bring it to you!"
Qin Luo looked at the three money pouches in front of him, still a little confused.
"Why are you giving it all to me? Fifty taels are for you; take them back to him."
Jingming didn't stand on ceremony and took back a money pouch.
He handed her the other two, but Qin Luo only took one.
"Here's one more for you. Keep it safe; you'll need it on your way to the capital!"
