"Little Divine Doctor, no matter what you say, a bamboo basket isn't worth this price. If you insist on paying so much, I just won't take this silver coin. It's better than being talked about behind my back for my greed," Mrs. Hou had her own principles and adamantly refused the money.
She didn't know that Mo Yan offered a high price because she valued her craftsmanship. In the future, she would have to teach the skill to others, and if they still went by five wen money, she would be at a huge loss. She couldn't think of this, so no matter what Mo Yan said, she wouldn't accept the price of fifteen wen.
Mrs. Hou's stubbornness was a headache for Mo Yan. Seeing that she truly didn't want it, Mo Yan gave in first after much persuasion. Eventually, they both compromised and agreed on ten wen per basket.
