——In fact, Ah Niu's mother didn't have such a severe illness, it was just that she frequently had stomach pains,
The wild vegetables that the mountain people eat contain some toxins, and combined with the daily consumption of wild game, it's too rich and upsets the stomach. If she were to move to the city and recuperate for a year or so, she would recover on her own,
But as it stands now, Ah Niu's mother took the fake medicine prescribed by that doctor, which is what truly worsened her condition.
"Ah Niu, don't blame me. If I hadn't been hard on your mother, how could you have brought me half a cartload of mountain goods over the past six months?"
"Without those mountain goods, who would support my wife? And where would I get the money for Miss Yi Hua, the girl I'm familiar with at the brothel, to buy vermilion?"
"If you must blame someone, blame it on this Yellow Field Prefecture; here, people do business without a conscience."
