Dawang stepped out just in time to see his own father slinking out of the door, while the atmosphere in the main hall was markedly different. After inquiring with a young attendant, Dawang's cold sweat began to pour out immediately. Taking advantage of Jin Yuyu's distraction, he hurried out to find his father.
"Oy, my dad, I just went to the latrine for a moment, and you've gone and made such a big blunder!"
Already displeased, Da Qiangzi huffed upon seeing his son step out and immediately start complaining, "You little rascal, blaming me! If you hadn't ignored me for days on end, would I have come looking for you?"
"These days the vinegar shop has been really busy; I truly couldn't get away," Dawang said, wrinkling his nose in distress.
Watching his son's sorry state, Da Qiangzi felt a wave of disgust and, waving his hand impatiently, said, "Enough already. I'm out of silver, so give me some to spend."
