The old lady sighed deeply, "At the bedside in my room, there's a brick in the wall that can be moved. Pull it out, and there's a cavity inside where I've placed some silver."
Everyone's faces lit up after hearing this.
Only the youngest squatted in front of the old lady, crying.
Suddenly someone said, "Let's hurry and lift mother back, it's time to start preparing."
Someone nodded, "Yes, we need to set up the canopy in the yard, and the coffin hasn't been varnished yet. These are all matters that need dealing with."
Ah Tie was eating a bowl of rice nearby; he came over and said, "Wait up, you haven't paid the consultation fee yet, and Doctor Gu's Golden Needle is still stuck in the old lady!"
The eldest asked, "How much is the fee?"
Ah Tie held up two fingers, "Two taels of silver."
The eldest took out a small piece of silver and said to his brothers, "Just so you all know, I'm covering this for now, but we'll divide it evenly once we get back."
