"When we were up on the mountain, I told Shitou that I didn't want the silver, and that giving me chickens would be fine; I'll accept these items!" Zhang Xiaoying interrupted Madam Kong's words, "As for the rest, we'll call it even, silver and goods all settled."

The Liu Family really couldn't afford to give more after such an incident!

Madam Kong said, "Thank you, Auntie. If there's anything the Liu Family can help you with in the future, just ask, and it's done."
