He suddenly had a flash of inspiration and came up with a new idea. "I can give you the toll money in red envelopes, but you have to guarantee that nobody else will cause trouble farther down the road. No, a guarantee isn't enough. Who knows whether you mean what you say? I need you to escort me the whole way!"
"Escort you?"
The man paused, seemingly realizing something, then said in understanding, "Well, well, you're afraid someone else will block the road and rob you, right? Sure, we'll escort you, but shouldn't you pay extra?"
"How much extra?"
"Another hundred thousand!"
"Fuck off! A hundred and ten thousand total. Take it or leave it. If you don't want it, I'll turn around and go! Fuck this wedding! I'll call the police and go home!"
"Come on, man! Don't be so stingy! How about a hundred and twenty thousand? That's just another hundred each. You'll be driving, but we'll have to follow behind on foot! And we might even get into arguments or fights with people! A hundred wouldn't even cover the medical bills!"
"Fine, fine! A hundred and twenty thousand!"
"But it has to be cash. If you don't have cash, go back and get it!"
"Fuck! Fine, I'll send someone back for it! You bastards!"

If I'd just turned around and gone home, I wouldn't have gotten married!
