"Ginseng..."
"Ginseng is a bit pricey, but adding it to the medicine will help your daughter recover faster. It's up to you." Doctor Ma thought the old lady was worried about the cost, so he tried a bit of reverse psychology, acting as if he didn't really care. "Besides, even if you wanted some, I don't have such a rare ingredient on hand right now. I'd have to go to the trouble of trading for it with some of my old friends. If you don't need it, it saves me the effort."
"Not at all, not at all." The old lady took Doctor Ma's words to heart and was actually quite pleased.
As if he had expected this, a faint smile appeared on Doctor Ma's otherwise expressionless face.
