"Taking the money is the right thing to do. If you didn't, I'd feel awkward accepting the donkeys. Once my leg is healed, I'll be back to thank you properly."
Su Shuochi said this to the farm manager on purpose.
"Not at all, not at all! It's our honor that Commander Su has taken an interest in our farm's young donkeys. I'll have someone send them to Dashan Village right away."
"Thank you so much. We'll prepare to head back to Qing City, then. With these five young donkeys, my leg's recovery is guaranteed."
He told the farm manager that the idea of using young donkey tendons to mend his own was something he had carefully considered.
After his injury, the organization had found numerous famous doctors, none of whom could heal him. Now, his wife was able to.
He couldn't just go around telling everyone, 'My wife can heal my leg, you know.'
Telling the farm was an indirect way of announcing that his leg was on the mend. The farm manager would surely report it to claim credit.
