Five taels for one pill was an astronomical price.
Two pills a day, ten taels of silver. Which family could afford this?
Lin Yuelan raised her eyebrows and said, "If you think it's expensive, then don't buy it. However, if there are no specially-made pills, then..."
"Then what?" The couple asked anxiously.
After they sold their shop and paid a thousand taels of silver for the treatment, they were left with three to four hundred taels of silver. These three to four hundred taels of silver were the capital that they planned to start anew.
If he were to pay the three hundred taels, in addition to the expenses for his son's later recuperation, the total would be at least four hundred taels.
After that, they didn't have much money on hand at all. Even living expenses might be a problem. How could they have the capital to rise again?
Therefore, if they could choose not to buy these pills, they would not want to buy them at all.
