Chapter 192 Asking for Clarification
Upon hearing Feng Bingkun's words, Cao Qimei's expression became somewhat distorted.
She really hadn't expected that Feng Bingkun would have kept this up his sleeve!
After she gave him the silver notes and jewelry, Feng Bingkun came to tell her all this. Wasn't he just rubbing salt into her wounds and making her feel even more heartbroken?
If Feng Bingkun had said this earlier and brought it up, would she have needed to pay him so many silver notes?
Three hundred per person? That's outrageously expensive!
In the situation just now, she thought she had no other choice, so she had no choice but to compromise and ask Feng Bingkun for help at such a high price. She was worried that he would not help her, so she gave Feng Bingkun the silver notes and jewelry.
As a result, after Feng Bingkun accepted the silver notes and jewelry, he came to tell her this news, just to enjoy her remorseful and distorted appearance at this moment.
If she could buy the antidote pills from Feng Bingkun first and cure her family members, wouldn't it be better for them to continue their journey to Yuanguang Town?
In that case, they wouldn't need to seek advice from Feng Bingkun at all, nor would they need to spend three hundred taels of silver each to ask Feng Bingkun to send them to the Yuan family in Yuanguang Town.
If we calculate it this way, how much silver can she keep?
Feng Bingkun is simply taking advantage of the chaos to rob us of our money!
There was clearly a better way to handle this, but Feng Bingkun insisted on using extortion to take so much money from her. He was utterly shameless!
At the beginning, Cao Qimei felt fortunate to have encountered Feng Bingkun's caravan, thinking that they were saved and that the Tian family was also saved. She no longer had to worry about dying in the wilderness and could successfully reach the Yuan family in Yuanguang Town. After spending so much money, she was quite grateful to Feng Bingkun, as it was a life-saving grace.
But now, knowing that Feng Bingkun actually has an antidote for snake venom but has never revealed it, and has been watching her struggle and feel heartache while toying with her in this way, all of this has made Cao Qimei resent Feng Bingkun.
Once she gets to the Yuan family in Yuanguang Town, she'll make Feng Bingkun and his ilk pay a terrible price and get her revenge!
Cao Qimei will not let this go easily, since they dared to scheme against her like this!
At that moment, Cao Qimei was absolutely certain that she and this caravan did not get along, and that Feng Bingkun was very likely deliberately trying to swindle her, wanting to get more money from her and wanting to see her make a fool of herself!
She hated Feng Bingkun, but she had already given him the silver notes and jewelry, so Cao Qimei felt it was unlikely she could get them back.
Having calculated so much, Feng Bingkun had already put the money away as soon as he got his hands on it.
Furthermore, Feng Bingkun deliberately mentioned anti-snake venom pills to her after he had done all this, in order to provoke her and make her more money.
Having achieved this level of skill, how could Feng Bingkun be completely without any backup plans?
At this moment, Cao Qimei was very clear that she had indeed been tricked and played by Feng Bingkun, but she had no way to retaliate.
Her situation, and that of her family, is truly dire; Cao Qimei doesn't have much time left to waste.
Looking at her family members lying unconscious on the cart, knowing that their conditions were all very serious, Cao Qimei couldn't bring herself to refuse.
This person did it on purpose, saying such things and spreading such news at such a crucial moment. Feng Bingkun was certain that she would definitely buy it and would give him the money, and indeed he did give her silver notes and jewelry.
Perhaps it was because he received so much money and valuables that Feng Bingkun treated her this way, constantly toying with her!
However, they had all been poisoned by snake venom, and their condition was very serious. If they continued to linger here, they might lose their lives.
The situation was extremely serious. Cao Qimei knew that she and her family could not afford to delay any longer.
Even if they manage to make it to the Yuan family in Yuanguang Town, finding a doctor and medicine to cure snake venom is not easy.
Moreover, the poisoning from those snakes they had just been bitten by was still worsening, and Cao Qimei was genuinely worried that they wouldn't make it to Yuanguang Town and wouldn't receive any further treatment, which would result in even more serious injuries and losses.
If they spend so much money only to send all the Tian family's bodies to the Yuan family in Yuanguang Town for burial, then the cost would be too high.
After considering it for a while, Cao Qimei gritted her teeth and asked first, "If you have any antidote for snake venom, that would be the best thing."
"However, could you please tell me how much silver is needed to purchase this antidote for snake venom?"
"It's better to clarify something so important now, to avoid any unforeseen changes later."
"After all, I don't have much silver left, and I don't know if I can afford it. Please forgive me and help us, and help so many people behind us."
Knowing that Feng Bingkun was a heartless and unscrupulous businessman who would not show them any mercy, Cao Qimei became a little smarter and did not agree directly. Instead, she asked about the price first to avoid being ripped off again.
Sending them to the Yuan family in Yuanguang Town cost an exorbitant price of three hundred taels of silver per person. If the antidote for snake venom also required an exorbitant price, she might not be able to afford it.
If the goods are delivered first and payment is made later, she doesn't have many silver notes left. If Feng Bingkun asks for an exorbitant price, she and the Tian family will be the ones who suffer the most, as they will definitely be unable to pay for everything.
Especially since Feng Bingkun had already made a fortune by taking the agreed-upon silver notes and jewelry, she couldn't afford to pay an even higher price if he got a taste of success.
The situation was very bad, but Cao Qimei learned from her mistake and did not immediately agree to Feng Bingkun's business proposal. She still needed to figure things out first.
Anyway, once she's found out the details, she'll complete the deal with Feng Bingkun if it's suitable, and refuse if it's not. Cao Qimei still has a choice.
As for sending them to the Yuan family in Yuanguang Town, Feng Bingkun had already accepted their silver notes and jewelry, so he shouldn't break the contract and would still comply. Cao Qimei wasn't worried about Feng Bingkun and the others leaving directly.
Feng Bingkun was extremely greedy, but he still had some principles.
As long as Feng Bingkun still has some reservations, she and the rest of the Tian family will be able to travel smoothly to the Yuan family in Yuanguang Town without too much worry.
