Old Mi thanked Shitou's people, "Today, we really owe it to you guys. For the salted duck eggs and ducks, we'll handle them as we agreed upon before."
"That won't do. Things should be kept separate. Our unit has strict discipline, aren't you clearly asking me to make a mistake?" Shitou flatly refused.
"Master Old Mi, actually our families don't lack that little bit of money. Besides, if someone were to report this at my unit because of that small sum, there would definitely be an investigation. For any reason, if it were found out that my spouse really accepted the price we discussed before, wouldn't that be losing much for the sake of little?"
