The middle-aged man enticing everyone to place bets was very displeased with the beggar's action.
"Damn you, filthy beggar, trying to play both sides, do you think we're fools? Take your filthy money and get lost, we don't need you here."
There's never been a reason to bet on both sides.
The beggar's behavior was extremely contemptible.
The middle-aged man picked out that single copper coin the beggar just tossed in from a pile of silver coin and rudely flung the coin towards the beggar's face with force. His disdain and contempt were fully displayed in his actions without any reservation.
The beggar's face hurt from the hit, and his plan fell apart; he had no choice but to follow Jun Ning's bet.
But he had heard the discussions earlier, this girl didn't have any hope of winning, and betting with her would just be a waste of money.
