Augustus shrugged and said, "Others only need one Copper Coin to buy oyster pancakes with a bowl of noodles, you can't——"
The attendant punched him in the stomach.
He "waa"ed and vomited out the noodles he had just eaten.
The shopkeeper saw this and angrily said:
"You damn boy, look what you've done to my place. Who would dare come to eat noodles now?"
"Give me the money, or I'll give you a good beating!"
Augustus, in a daze, was lifted up by the attendant, and he started fumbling in his pocket.
"He only has one Copper Coin."
The attendant shouted.
"Unlucky fool—Hand over the money and get him out of here." The shopkeeper said.
Augustus suddenly remembered a scene from before.
Old Blind Man.
Also had no money to eat and was kicked out.
It seems——
Is having no money a crime?
But I have money.
I paid two Copper Coins, enough for two bowls of noodles.
Why——
Do I have to pay more?
——I have money, how dare you treat me like this?
A hand twisted his neck.
It hurt.
