"What?"
Hearing that number 103 only paid one penny for the medicine, Old Man Shu immediately stood between the two. He pointed at number 103 and asked, "Doctor Yao, can you be fair? This person bought the medicine using my number 101. Why do you only charge him one penny, but when it's my turn, you charge me five taels of silver?"
Yao Dahai patiently explained, "Regarding this question... to avoid worrying those behind us, let me explain it to you now. It's like this, because we've already determined that you and your son are numbers 101 and 102, it's like a lottery. Once the first and second prizes are announced, the rest can't be changed. So since you two have already won this 'prize', even if you don't buy the medicine, this prize will always be with you. Once you've figured it out, come back and patronize us. Sorry... we'll keep the old price: five taels of silver per bowl, and half the price for the second bowl."
“…”
Old Shu was so angry that his beard was about to blow up. He trembled and said, "You...you are simply profiteers. You can't do this?"
Yao Dahai did not directly answer Old Man Shu's question, but asked everyone instead.
"Is it expensive for me to charge you one penny for a bowl of medicine?"
Everyone shook their heads.
"It's not expensive. The price is quite fair."
Yao Dahai then asked, "If I divide the money that No. 101 and No. 102 need to spend between you, do you think it's expensive?"
"Doctor Yao, please don't do this. Since you've already established this rule, just stick with it. I think it's really fair. Who are they so unlucky to be ranked 101 and 102?"
"That's right. It's their own bad luck. They can't blame anyone else."
"Oh……"
Seeing that all the patients had supported him, Doctor Yao adjusted his beard again and said deliberately, "But this person said I was a profiteer. If I don't share the money they have to spend equally among everyone..."
"Don't... Doctor Yao, you're not treacherous at all. What you're doing is absolutely the fairest thing to do."
"Yes, Doctor Yao, let's do as you said before. If they want to buy the medicine, they can charge five taels. The second bowl will be half the price. Ours will still be one penny."
"Alright! Since everyone agrees, then the majority will prevail. My apologies, both of you. Unless you never buy medicine again, the price will remain the same."
"I……"
The old man Shu was so angry that he covered his chest, and Shu Guoyi quickly supported him.
"Dad, don't be angry with these people. They do such immoral things, and they will definitely not have a good ending."
"Oh... I'm so angry, so angry..."
Doctor Yao didn't bother to pay attention to the old man Shu and his son. He asked rudely, "Do you two still want to buy medicine? If not, please move aside. There are many people who need to buy medicine later. However, I must inform you in advance that the amount of medicine this time is limited. After all the medicine is distributed, those who can't take the medicine will have to wait for the next batch. However, I see that you seem to be very ill. I don't know if you have the time to wait..."
"well……"
This made Old Man Shu dare not delay any longer. Now that he didn't want to die, he could only spend a lot of money to buy a bowl of medicine. He sighed and said to Doctor Yao, "Buy... give us two bowls. But we don't have that much money with us right now. Can we wait until we get back and give it to you?"
"It's okay. If you don't have money now, you can sign a written agreement first. With the written agreement in hand, do you think I'll be afraid that you will run away?"
