As the crowd buzzed with speculation, Wei Xiangcui, having heard the various murmurs, grew anxious. She sprang to her feet and, stamping in fury, cursed, "To hell with your lies! You’re the one crying thief to cover your own tracks—your whole family are thieves!"
The onlookers, who had merely been chatting, were offended by Wei Xiangcui’s indiscriminate verbal assault. Some immediately fired back: "What’s this, stung by the truth? You claim you lost a hundred, but who believes that? Maybe you didn't lose anything at all."
Others joined in the mockery: "Show us some proof! Otherwise, I could just as well claim I lost two hundred today."
