Early the next morning, while the family was busy, Zhou Wulang and Zhou Liulang sneaked into the house and cornered Manbao, each taking one of her arms and carrying her to the backyard. They quietly gave her the money they had made from selling candy the day before, "In total, it's forty coins, which is just right including the deposit. Miss Fu really seemed to like them and said she'd buy from us again. Can you ask Mr. Zhuang where he gets his candy and if it's expensive?"
Zhou Wulang had clearly thought of the idea of reselling. Manbao counted out twenty coins for herself and divided the rest between the two boys, saying, "I asked the teacher already, and he introduced that person to me. Now we're friends; don't worry, I will buy a lot of candies and bring them back for you. Only we have this kind of candy. Next time you go to sell, tell her it's one coin per piece."
Zhou Liulang felt it was too expensive, "Won't it be hard to sell?"
