Bei Yutang ignored it.
A sensible person would naturally not say anything more, but someone just didn't know the tact. "Aren't you afraid that I'd ask you to borrow money, so you pretend not to know me? I don't know who called me sister before."
Bei Yutang didn't want to pay any attention, but seeing that she was getting more and more demanding, he asked, "Yang, when will you pay me back the one ounce of silver you owe me?"
Yang was stunned and asked angrily, "When did I owe you money?"
"You borrowed an old hen from me two years ago, saying it was to nourish your seriously ill mother-in-law. In the middle of last year, you took another hundred coins from me, saying that your family was short of money. And at the beginning of this year, you took a bag of flour from my house. All in all, one or two taels of silver is not enough. As for those small amounts, do you need me to report them one by one?" Bei Yutang looked at her coldly.
Yang was stunned. She never expected that she remembered everything.
"I'm sorry I didn't ask you before. You really thought I'd forgotten. Two months ago, I needed money and asked you for a loan. What did you do? Do you need to tell me so we can all judge for ourselves?"
Yang was completely dejected, and everyone on the ox cart looked at her with contempt.
No matter how thick-skinned Yang was, she could no longer stay and said to the driver, "Stop, stop. I just remembered that I have something to do at home."
With that he fled in panic.
The driver shouted at Yang's back, "You haven't paid yet."
Yang didn't care even after hearing it, she just kept walking back.
Bei Yutang took out a few copper coins from his pocket and handed them to the driver, "I'll pay for her."
The driver waved his hands repeatedly, "That's unacceptable. You are you, and she is she."
"It's my fault that you lost money on the fare." Bei Yutang stuffed the copper coins into the driver's hand.
As the oxcart continued its journey towards the city, the people in the oxcart all looked at Bei Yutang differently. Anyone who knew Bei Yutang had a look of disbelief on their faces, for no other reason than that this person was exactly the same as they had imagined.
As for those who had heard of Kinomo's name, they felt that the rumors were somewhat unreliable.
After arriving in town, Bei Yutang took Xiao Zimo by the hand and walked towards the bookstore. She first bought some rice paper and some simple books to give to Xiao Zimo. After leaving the bookstore, she went to the restaurant.
When Shopkeeper Feng saw her coming, he smiled like a flower.
Ever since the restaurant started using her recipes, business has been incredibly booming, with customers packed every day. The restaurant across the street has already taken away most of its business, and now the last remaining restaurant in town is definitely Hongfu Restaurant.
"Shopkeeper Feng, how's business been lately?" Bei Yutang understood as soon as she saw his expression and asked politely.
Shopkeeper Feng said with a smile, "Thanks to you, business is good."
"I came here today to collect my share of the money." Bei Yutang said straight to the point.
Shopkeeper Feng smiled and said, "It's already been prepared for you."
Shopkeeper Feng gave her the silver and handed Bei Yutang's menu for the next month. Shopkeeper Feng wanted to keep Bei Yutang here for a meal, but Bei Yutang refused.
After leaving Hongfu Restaurant, Bei Yutang found the largest pharmacy in town with the silver in his pocket.
Bei Yutang handed the shopkeeper the prepared prescription list. "I want all the medicines listed here. The quantities are marked on the back."
The shopkeeper was very surprised after looking at her purchase list.
He couldn't tell what she was doing, but the list contained many kinds of herbs, some of which were in short supply. The quantity seemed to be quite large, and it was hard to tell what such a large batch of herbs were used for.
