Li Wangcai was genuinely afraid she would spread the word, in case Zhu Nengwen came to settle accounts with him again. It wouldn't be worth it to stir up such a big fuss for just a few dozen copper coins. "I'll give you ten copper coins, what do you think?"
"Twenty-six copper coins, not one less."
Li Wangcai refused, "Didn't you just say fifty-fifty? Fifty percent is only twenty-one copper coins."
She said, "Brother Wangcai, you instigated this whole thing and exploited the Zhu Family's money. It's unacceptable no matter how you look at it. Not to mention if Zhu finds trouble with you, once this becomes public, your reputation will be the first to be ruined. Your family has a good reputation in the village. Now it's seventy percent. Seventy percent is twenty-nine point four copper coins. I am kind-hearted and don't ask for the zero point four change."
"You kind-hearted?! This is clearly extortion... "
"Eighty percent."
