Chapter 193 Asking for Price
Worried that Feng Bingkun would try to rip her off again, Cao Qimei asked about the price first this time, and only considered other options after confirming the price.
Her physical condition was already very bad, but Feng Bingkun's words sobered her up a bit, and she no longer foolishly agreed to anything.
If Feng Bingkun offers her another outrageous price, she'll be the one who suffers!
She didn't have many banknotes left, and she really couldn't afford to go through this ordeal.
Especially when dealing with such a ruthless merchant who only cares about money and doesn't care about the lives of others, Cao Qimei has to be extra careful to avoid having all of her and the Tian family's money taken away.
Having encountered someone like Feng Bingkun, Cao Qimei became even more cautious while seeking help, having been scammed before.
Feng Bingkun waited until now to reveal the news that he had an antidote for snake venom, only doing so after she had given him the other money. He really screwed her over!
After asking the question, Cao Qimei continued to stare intently at Feng Bingkun, not wanting to miss any of his expressions, and also to try to guess what he was thinking at that moment, so that she could see through his scheming intentions and make preparations in advance.
She was now certain that Feng Bingkun had been toying with her all along, watching her oscillate between hope and despair, simply enjoying the show and the joke!
This time, she was really unlucky. She had already lost so much money, and she was too embarrassed to ask for it back, lest Feng Bingkun turn on her and leave.
She's unlucky to have ended up in this terrible situation, and she accepts it, but she doesn't want to suffer any more.
Feng Bingkun observed all of Cao Qimei's reactions.
I know Cao Qimei must be feeling very heartbroken and distressed, but what can I do?
His purpose in coming here was to deal with the Tian family and to extort more money from them.
Judging from the current situation, the price he just quoted is still within the Tian family's affordability. Cao Qimei seems to have already emptied her savings, but she still has other tricks up her sleeve.
Since Cao Qimei asked that question, it meant she was planning to buy some, and Feng Bingkun immediately became interested.
Just now, Cao Qimei acted so pitiful, but she was just fooling him.
Noticing this, Feng Bingkun simply smiled and said, "Madam Tian, it's not expensive, only fifty taels of silver per serving. I wonder if Madam Tian would like to buy some?"
"The antidote I have here can quickly improve your symptoms of snake venom and resolve the poisoning problem. The effect is guaranteed."
"If Madam Tian needs it, she can buy a copy to try first. Once you experience the effects, you will naturally be able to believe it."
Although he wanted to set the price even higher, he had just swindled so much money from Cao Qimei that he had to be careful this time, lest he anger Cao Qimei to the point of fainting.
This time, in addition to plundering the Tian family's money, he also had to send the Tian family to the Yuan family in Yuanguang Town. Feng Bingkun had not forgotten these tasks.
This time, he would test Cao Qimei's bottom line again to see how much more silver he could squeeze out.
Fifty taels of silver per serving?
Upon hearing Feng Bingkun's offer, Cao Qimei gasped and gritted her teeth.
She guessed that Feng Bingkun's asking price would be very high this time, but she did not expect that Feng Bingkun would actually ask for such a high price!
By doing this, Feng Bingkun was treating her like a sucker, trying to fleece her at will.
She still had some money, but she couldn't let Feng Bingkun fleece her like that.
The Tian family was already in a bad situation, and this time they had other important matters to attend to at the Yuan family in Yuanguang Town. How could they possibly hand over all their money to Feng Bingkun?
Feng Bingkun is indeed a greedy businessman who only cares about money and has no conscience!
However, under the current circumstances, Cao Qimei was indeed somewhat tempted.
However, Cao Qimei remained cautious and did not agree immediately. Instead, she continued to ask, "So, how much is the antidote at fifty taels of silver per dose? And what is its effectiveness?"
Now that Cao Qimei knows Feng Bingkun is a ruthless businessman who only cares about maximizing profits and has no conscience, she knows that buying this antidote pill from him won't be cheap. She needs to find out more about the situation beforehand to avoid being ripped off.
But Cao Qimei knew even better that her family members could no longer afford to wait.
They had been poisoned by snake venom for quite some time, and their condition continued to worsen.
It's not that some snake venoms aren't deadly, but rather that their effects take a relatively long time to manifest, and they can still be fatal.
Everyone else had fallen into a coma, and the situation was getting worse, which made Cao Qimei even more worried.
Especially her son, her beloved grandson, absolutely nothing can happen to him!
Taking all this into account, Cao Qimei did hope to buy some antidotes from Feng Bingkun to try, but she needed to find out the specifications and effects of these antidotes first in order to make the right judgment and avoid being tricked by Feng Bingkun again.
She only had a little money left and couldn't afford to squander it anymore.
Cao Qimei still intended to buy some antidote pills to prevent any accidents from happening to her family, but she also didn't want to be swindled too badly by Feng Bingkun any longer.
Cao Qimei had considered all of these things and was just waiting for Feng Bingkun's answer.
In response, Feng Bingkun simply smiled and said calmly, "Madam Tian, you should know that medicine for treating snake venom is not cheap to begin with!"
"Moreover, the antidote pills I can provide have miraculous effects. Fifty taels of silver a dose is already a bargain for you."
"A dose of antiseptic pills costing fifty taels of silver can only save one person from succumbing to the poison, allowing them to walk on their own and thus preserve their life."
The antidote that Feng Bingkun could provide was of limited effectiveness; it was impossible for him to give them the best one.
Of course, this level of antidote was enough for the Tian family to save their lives.
He offered such a price, and Cao Qimei would agree; it was just a matter of how much she would buy.
After a pause, Feng Bingkun continued, "These are antidote pills for snake venom, not some radish stalk or rotten vegetable leaves. There's no cheap way to get them."
"If you want these pills, then it's cash on delivery. If you don't want them or think they're too expensive, then just pretend I didn't say anything."
"There are plenty of people who need my antidote. I'm not begging Madam Tian to buy it. Madam Tian doesn't need to feel guilty."
"Once everyone is loaded onto the cart, I will take you to the Yuan family's place in Yuanguang Town as previously agreed. I will not break my promise."
