"Shhhhhh!"
Xiao Liuzi glared at him fiercely, "My dear brother, please don't say such things carelessly. Be careful of the consequences of your words!"
Tiezhu shrank his neck and dared not say another word.
When they reached the door of the pharmacy, they happened to see a mother and son pulling each other.
The son was in his early twenties, thin, and was pulling an old woman with an anxious look on his face.
The old woman had gray hair and a hunched body. She was muttering to herself and refused to move.
"Mom, please listen to my advice and go see a doctor! This illness is no joke if it's left untreated for too long!"
The son begged desperately, but he didn't dare to use force with his hands for fear of hurting his old mother.
The old woman shook off her son's hand and said firmly, "Why see a doctor? The great god said that I have a heart disease and can only be cured with sincere worship! The doctor can't cure it!"

The son was almost crying, "Those people are liars, they just want to cheat old people like you! They..."
"shut up!"
The old woman interrupted her son sharply, "Don't you dare slander the gods! They are living Bodhisattvas, who are here to save us! If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will sever the mother-son relationship with you!"
Upon hearing this, the son immediately became like a deflated ball. He sat dejectedly on the steps in front of the pharmacy, covering his face with his hands, his shoulders trembling slightly.
