Grandma Ma felt her pockets, only managing to pull out a handful of money, and said, "Hongmei, treat Xiaoshuai first, and I'll give you the money later, okay?"
"How can that be okay! Everyone here knows you have to pay before getting treated." Li Hongmei replied indifferently, "Auntie Ma, you should go home and get the money. It's not far; you'll be back in no time, and it won't delay anything."
"Hongmei, we're all villagers here, would I not pay you? Just start by checking what's wrong with my grandson, will you?" Grandma Ma was so anxious that she stamped her foot; in her urgency, her tone also took on an edge.
Li Hongmei crossed her arms and snorted coldly, "No money means no treatment, that's just the way I am. It won't change no matter what you say!"
"You..."
Grandma Ma was so angered she stomped her feet and gritted her teeth. If it weren't for her grandson's illness, she would have been fighting with Li Hongmei.
