The little girl looked back and shouted,
"Old man, someone's looking for you!"
Before long, a hunchbacked old man came out. He sized up the two visitors, while Gu Shi Yi and Pu Yanlan, hiding to the side, also scrutinized him.
"This old man looks to be at least sixty, and the little girl is only about ten. Was he still fathering children in his fifties?"
Impressively fertile!
After the old man finished assessing them, he let them into the courtyard. As they sat down by a stone table, the man and woman explained their purpose. Old Master Jin made a gesture of three with his hands.
"May I ask Old Master, what does this mean?"
After exchanging a glance, the male visitor questioned Old Master Jin, who replied,
"Thirty taels of silver, and you can buy a house in the city..."
"Thirty... thirty taels!"
The man was shocked.
"Does thirty taels include the house?"
"Wishful thinking!"
Old Master Jin gave him a disdainful glance.
