18 palm Give money

"Big brother, second sister, Yunjin is truly without ailment now."

Gu Ya looked at Su Muze and Su Ningxiu and said, "The doctor has seen her and said that Yunjin is just a bit weak now. As long as she eats some nourishing food, she will be all right."

With Gu Ya saying this, Su Muze and Su Ningxiu finally felt relieved. "It's good that there's nothing wrong, little sister, your big brother and Ningxiu are very happy!"

Su Muze was somewhat excited as he spoke, and Su Ningxiu seemed to think of something. She hurriedly took a basket she had brought with her, lifted the coarse cloth that covered it, and showed Su Yunjin, "Look, little sister, there are eggs!"

Su Yunjin looked into the basket and saw about ten eggs of various sizes, old and worn. Perhaps because second sister Su Ningxiu feared breaking the eggs in the basket, she had also laid some dry straw at the bottom.

Thrusting the basket into Su Yunjin's hands, Su Ningxiu said with a smile, "Little sister, these eggs were bought by your big brother and me with borrowed money from the market. You take them and eat one every day to nourish yourself."

As Su Yunjin held the eggs, Su Ningxiu again gave her the silver that Su Yunjin had returned to her before. "Little sister, regardless of whether the doctor says there's something wrong with you or not, you always need money to seek treatment and buy medicine. Take this money to use when you need to buy medicine or see a doctor."

"Second sister, I—" Su Yunjin didn't want to accept it, but big brother Su Muze said, "Little sister, this silver was borrowed by our parents to find a doctor and get medicine for you. You must accept it and mustn't say no again."

Su Xiaobao let go of the little hand that was tightly holding Su Yunjin's. "Sister, you must keep both the eggs and the money. Mother said the eggs are for you to nourish yourself, and the money is for you to buy medicine and see the doctor."

Su Xiaobao spoke with utter seriousness. Big brother Su Muze and Su Ningxiu also looked at Su Yunjin with concern. Seeing her caring big brother and little brother, Su Yunjin suddenly felt a surge of emotion and thought how wonderful it is to have such siblings!

Gu Ya was not unaware of the Su Family's situation. Compared to the Gu Family, the Su Family was not much better off either. Also struggling from meal to meal, her uncle and siblings had brought over more than a tael of silver, which certainly would make the Su Family's life even more difficult. So, Gu Ya stepped forward, took the silver, and returned it to Su Muze once more.

"Big brother, the doctor said Yunjin is fine now. The cost of her medicine and treatment won't be more than a few copper coins. You should take this extra silver back. Otherwise, I think Yunjin won't feel at ease even if she accepts it."

Regarding Gu Ya's words, Su Yunjin strongly agreed and quickly nodded. "Big brother, husband is right. My health is fine now, and the cost of medicine and treatment will only be a few copper coins. You don't need to worry about me. Since the silver was borrowed, you should take it back to return it to others."

Su Muze and Su Ningxiu looked at each other, and Gu Ya assured them once again, "Big brother, second sister, rest assured. I will take good care of Yunjin, and the Gu Family can still afford the money for her medical treatment."

Since Gu Ya and Su Yunjin insisted on not taking the silver, Su Ningxiu and Su Muze had no choice but to take the silver back. Su Yunjin was alright now, and their parents were still unaware of this, which would cause them to continue worrying. The big brother needed to hurry back and tell their parents the good news.

"Little sister, since you fell into the water, father and mother have also been very worried. If they knew you are fine now, I think they would be very happy too. I will go back now and tell our parents the news that you are all right."
