Su Jiu slept until late morning. When she got out of bed and washed up, she went straight to lunch. After eating, Su Jiu took Chang Huan and left the manor.
They arrived at the tavern, and Li Tai saw the boneless ginseng in Su Jiu's hands. He fell straight to his knees and choked out the words, "I could never repay this debt, even if I worked as hard as an ox. From today on, I am your faithful servant. I will work for you as long as I live and never ask for a single coin!"
"No, no. This is a trivial thing. Hurry and take this ginseng to the physician!"
"Yes, yes!" Li Tai cradled the ginseng in his shaking hands, then quickly made his way out the door.
