Sun Changde sighed as he stood up, "Fine, I can't cure it, so I won't charge a medical fee..."
"What do you mean, no medical fee?" Granny Sun's wrinkled face deepened its furrows upon hearing this. "Doctors are people, not immortals from the heavens, they can't cure every obscure and complicated illness. There's no such thing as a doctor who doesn't charge when they can't cure a disease." She opened her old hand, "You have to pay."
Xiao Yuchuan would not accept this. "A doctor who can't cure a disease still charges a fee? That's only for people who were treated! Doctor Sun only checked my wife's pulse and didn't treat her, why should we pay?"
"Doesn't checking the pulse require effort as well?" Granny Sun raised her voice, "If it weren't for my husband, would you know your wife had congestion in her brain? I don't care, you have to pay for the pulse examination, ten copper coins!"
