Yang Peili frowned, "What's the fuss about?"
"I went to see the doctor yesterday," Yang Baifu said with conviction, "and elder sister-in-law's illness isn't something that can be cured with one or two doses of medicine. This month alone it'll cost at least three taels of silver. Are we trying to empty the family coffers or what?" He paused, "And besides, elder sister-in-law was knocked unconscious by second brother, so by rights he should bear the cost. You can't drag us from the fourth branch into this too, right? I already have two daughters and I still need to have a son... If you spend all the money now, what will I do in the future? Do you really have the heart to see that one day I die without anyone to continue the family line?"
"Nonsense," Yang Peili was angered, "I'm not dead yet."
