"Little rabbit." Gui Yunshan cursed, but he still signed his name with a flourish.
Qiao Xiguan and Gui Yuan exchanged a look and smiled tacitly.
Out of respect for Old Master Gui Yunshan's good performance, during the subsequent rounds of mahjong, Qiao Xiguan intentionally set up combinations that allowed him to meld, call, and win. This amused him greatly, and in the end, he triumphed over the other three players, feeling exceptionally pleased.
When the game ended and Qiao Xiguan prepared to leave, Gui Yunshan called out to her, "Wait a minute."
Qiao Xiguan turned around.
"Take this." Gui Yunshan handed her half of the money he had won.
"Huh?" Qiao Xiguan looked at him.
"Don't think I'm as muddle-headed as those two old men. I'm well aware you were intentionally letting me win. Take it, it's your compensation," Gui Yunshan said as he stuffed the money into Qiao Xiguan's hands.
After hesitating for a moment, Qiao Xiguan accepted it. "Thank you, Grandpa."
