Going to the county town to collect debts inevitably requires some preparation.
The deadline for the debt repayment was fast approaching, and Old Jin, having apparently heard the news of Old Master Lian's illness, hurried over in a rush.
Old Master Lian finally fell asleep under the influence of the medicine and couldn't be woken. Lady Zhou, scared senseless by Old Master Lian's illness, was unable to decide on such a major issue. Fortunately, Old Master Lian had entrusted the handling of this matter entirely to Lian Shouxin, Lady Zhang, and Lian Manman.
Old Jin entered the room and even inquired warmly about Old Master Lian's condition, but Lian Manman had neither the time nor the mood for pleasantries.
"We'll first repay you three hundred and eighty taels of silver. Please count it." Lian Manman pushed the package of silver towards Old Jin.
Old Jin first checked the quality of the silver, then counted the amount carefully.
