Indeed, what she was worried about happened in the next second.
The village chief said, "Yes, this is also a solution. Madam Ma, if your family can't fork out so much money at once, use the donkey as compensation to the Zhou family then. Give them two old hens as well."
"What!" Old Madam Ma jumped up from the ground in disbelief. "You want me to give her the donkey and two old hens?"
Because she was too astounded at what she heard, Old Madam Ma's voice turned sharp.
At this moment, Madam Cui had also forgotten to cry. Her mind was filled with thoughts that they were going to lose her donkey and hens.
The village chief was no longer patient and took on a much harsher tone of voice. "You darn woman, you really don't know anything! A donkey is worth about 8000 copper coins, and a hen is only worth about 400 copper coins. All of this combined is not even enough to repay the Zhou family's medical fees!"
