Qi Shuliang took out five hundred US dollars and paid directly.
"Three hundred, not five hundred," Old Man Qi said from behind, "Three hundred is for the materials, the labor fee, I don't want it; that's my sincere gesture. If you don't accept it, I'll feel uneasy!"
This old man was also stubborn.
"It's all hard-earned money, I can't take advantage of you. After all, we are fellow townsmen!" Third Grandma Qi said with a smile, still insisting on not accepting it.
Knowing that this family was either wealthy or noble, and definitely richer than him, Old Man Qi knew they didn't care about money, but it was also a sign of his goodwill. He took out two hundred US dollars and said, "Older sister, please. I can't rest easy or sleep well otherwise!"
Seeing this, He Tiantian said, "Grandma Qi, just accept it!"
Tiantian usually didn't speak in such situations.
Given that, Third Grandma Qi accepted the money and said, "Well then, I'll take it!"
