Fang Bai said, "I know how hard fishing at sea is for you, so I can't offer much to repay your life-saving kindness, I can only give each family some money."
Gu Shan's throat moved with difficulty, and he said, "This...isn't right..."
Fang Bai replied, "There's nothing wrong with it! Your kindness is worth more than this money! I'm giving you this just to help improve your lives a bit!"
Gu Shan nodded, then squatted down, trembling as he fished out two cigarettes, placing one in his own mouth and handing the other to Fang Bai.
Fang Bai shook his head, indicating he didn't smoke.
Gu Shan tried to put the cigarette back in the pack but found his hands were shaking badly, unable to do so, so he clamped it behind his left ear and lit the other cigarette, taking a deep drag.
Gu Shan wasn't a saint; seeing so much money, and with Fang Bai saying there was a share for his family, he couldn't help but be tempted.
