章 284: Scamming People

As he took out more money, the eight of them gasped louder. They had never seen so much money.

Shopkeeper Hu had only just calmed down after being excited all the way. Seeing them like this, he did not laugh. Instead, he said, "What we said previously was that I'll take half of it, and the eight of you will split the rest equally.

However, after some thought, I realized that this money wouldn't have reached me without your cooperation.

"I'll take a hundred taels. You can split the rest among yourselves."

"Old Hu, you're so straightforward." The others naturally agreed.

Some people who regretted their choice after seeing so much money felt better.
