Becoming the Empress: Golden Finger Set Under My Bed - Chapter 73
Chapter 73: Die of Illness Is Better Than Being Killed by Mercy
Before the carter’s reply, Zhad Xiaotao sighed, “The Mercy Pharmacy is at the Southern Street where a lot of officials live while First Pharmacy locates at the Western Street where most of the poor live. But the First Pharmacy does not diagnose patients. So some people would send for physicians in the Mercy Pharmacy, which could cost all the wealth of a family. Consequently, there is a saying in the Eastern Street，‘Die of illness is better than being killed by mercy’”.
“Die of illness…better than being killed by mercy? What does that mean?” Hong Yu asked, biting her lips in confusion.
The carter coldly smiled, “If untreated, the patient will die of illness, but if treated by the Mercy Pharmacy, the patient and his family will be starved to death. Die of illness or die in poverty, which do you choose? It might be better to die of illness as their family would not break and can live on…”
Taking a deep sigh, the carter said in a down voice before the carriage stopped, “Miss An, we’ve arrived.”
