Qin Liuxi gave Uncle Li acupuncture and wrote him a prescription before taking out the silver for the wontons and placing it down.
"You see, you're being a stranger to Uncle Li now. You gave me acupuncture and even a prescription; I haven't paid a penny for the consultation fee, and yet you're paying for this meal. Should I also pay you the consultation fee then?" Uncle Li firmly refused and said, "Old man like me understands cause and effect; in the past, it was fine when you paid, but now you still pay, so I also must pay the consultation fee."
Qin Liuxi smiled and said, "I knew you would say that, so what I paid was on behalf of my friend."
She put down ten coins and said, "It's not easy to run a small business; I can't let you suffer a loss."
Yu Changkong, listening to the word 'friend', glanced sideways at her.
It was then that Uncle Li picked up the ten coins, placed them in the cash basket, and said, "Alright, then this old man will accept it."
