I mean to say that nobody would help, even if we paid them.
I guess the other meaning would be expressed by:
Nobody would accept money in return for their help.
There was nobody who would take money for helping us.
There was nobody who did not insist on helping us for free.
Are the original sentences ambiguous?
PS. I re-read them. I gues
