Shopkeeper Zheng, satisfied, sent off Old Madam Dou and then carried three packages into Manbao's clinic, handing them all over to her. "These are gifts from Old Madam Dou," he said.
Manbao didn't decline. She could use them right now, so she accepted them all. She even unwrapped one of the paper packages for a look and became even more certain: "Isn't this the brown sugar from our pharmacy?"
"Brown sugar looks the same everywhere in this world. How can you tell them apart?"
Manbao looked up at Shopkeeper Zheng, about to explain, but Shopkeeper Zheng stopped her. "Enough. Tidy up your table and get ready to see patients; someone has arrived."
Manbao let the matter drop.
