Old Madam Qian gave it some thought but felt that it was not worth it for her to give up. She could always pay back 50,000 dollars slowly. At most, she would make Qian'e pay for her. If she cut ties with Qian'e, then Qian'e would not be contributing any income to the Qian family anymore!
Qiao Mei continued, "You will at most live for another 30 years, that's the age of the oldest person in our country. Let's say Qian'e gives you 180 dollars every year. Even if we round it up to 200 dollars, the amount is 6,000 dollars after 30 years. How about this, I'll ask Qian'e to give you a lump sum of 30,000 dollars in exchange for you signing a letter to sever ties with her. Otherwise, I'll immediately demand payment for more than 50,000 dollars in medical fees from you."
