"Chief, there's no need, we didn't really do anything," Xia Dabao declined.
At that moment, Zhang Qianqian and Wang San, who had been cutting grass on the other side, also came over. Seeing this, the village chief stuffed the copper coins into Xia Dabao's hands and whispered, "These are not for you; they're for Xiaobei. Thank him for me. By the way, I'll be looking for him again in a little while."
Having said that, as Zhang Qianqian and others arrived, Xia Dabao quickly secured the copper coins.
Zhang Qianqian and Wang San also went to ask the village chief all sorts of questions, to which he cheerfully responded. Meanwhile, Xia Dabao quietly handed the money to Tian Xiaobei, "The chief gave this to you; he probably wants to show his gratitude. You take it."
