The scolding didn't relieve his anger, and Brother Tian fiercely patted the fat man's round belly and angrily said, "Put all the money on the table!"
Having said that, he ignored the fat man and walked back to his stool. He picked up the medicine grinder and started grinding again with a huffing sound.
The fat man looked left and right, with an embarrassed smile on his face. Suppressing his reluctance and heartache, he took out all the gold coins and jade stones hidden at his waist and placed them on the table.
As he took them out, he felt an emptiness in his heart and couldn't help but plead with Brother Tian in a pitiful voice, "Brother Tian, do I have to give it all? This is all my possessions!"
"It doesn't matter," said Brother Tian, who was grinding medicine nonchalantly. "You just need to think carefully about how you would explain this inconsistency if those spies find out you still have money left."
