Chapter 45 Buying a Jar
Thank you for the peace charm from Xuan’er Feifei, thank you!

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yunmei fell silent and stepped back, signaling Fang Pingying to go and pay.
But she was also thinking to herself that they hadn’t even stayed in the hospital today; it was just some examinations and buying medicine, and it already cost so much. Then, the last time Luo Zhiyong was hospitalized, he had a cast and took a lot of medicine home. It must have been more expensive than today’s expenses.
Moreover, the doctor said that before Luo Zhiyong felt his leg was completely healed and went back to the army, he would need to come here for another check-up to see how well he had recovered.
Adding it all up, including the money for the next visit to the hospital, the US$ 150 she initially gave was definitely not enough.
Seeing that Zhou Yunmei didn’t speak anymore, Fang Pingying knew that she believed Luo Zhiyong’s leg treatment would cost a lot of money. Without further conversation, she paid and called Luo Zhiyong and the others to leave the hospital together.
The group wandered around the county town for a while, asking many shops, but none had the small jars for sale. They were all uniformly large jars and expensive at that, with just one jar costing 40 cents.
Seeing this, Zhou Yunmei urged Fang Pingying to just go back home, suggesting that it would be better to use the large jars from home, which they could get for five cents each at the village’s small grocery store. It would still serve the purpose, only costing a bit more for the extra jars, and this was still more cost-effective than buying the expensive ones.
Luo Zhiyong, not often coming to the county town and unfamiliar with it, asked Fang Pingying what to do.
