"Great." Yingbao, smiling, gathered the two hundred coins, put them into her little pocket, then started to shift the bag off her shoulder.
Everyone clustered around, craning their necks to see.
The horse trader glanced around, quickly stopping Yingbao's actions, and said to the others: "It's okay if you want to look, but it's fifty coins per person! Otherwise, you'll have to pay two hundred coins on your own."
Humph! He, Ding Er, wasn't stupid, why should he be the generous one and pay for others?
"Tch! Who wants to see?" a few people feigned disinterest and walked away.
Two people hesitated for a while, bit their lips, each pulled out fifty coins and gave them to Ding Er.
Ding Er was stingy about the fifty extra coins he paid but felt somewhat reassured. Only then did he let Yingbao open the bag for the others to see.
However, the bag only held a few scattered copper coins and two deed papers, nothing else.
"Damn it!" The three people left looking dejected.
