"Well," Hong Dali asked. "I took over the shop beside yours for twenty-five thousand. How come yours is even cheaper?"
"Ah, I forgot to mention this just now." Hao Jihao smiled even more slyly. "I still have some things in the store I have yet to return, worth about two or three thousand. Little Brother, you'll have to take over those things too. There's no need to collect money for it. You just have to return the items when the people come in with the money."
By right, when people went to pawn shops, they pawned things. They would offer collateral and the pawn shop would give them money. When they redeemed their things, they would have to pay the shop and the shop would give the things they left as collateral. However, Hao Jihao said that there were things he had yet to return. That was really strange.
