Hi,
I would like to know the meaning of this idiom or just verb here:

'He was resisiting giving me the money so I hit him upside the head and just TOOK IT.'
Does it mean that after I hit him I took the money or that after I hit him he understood?

Thanks in advance, Jo.

He just took it = he did not resist or try to avoid the blow.

Confusing: not clear if it's he or I who took it.

I: I took the money
He: see MM's answer

Although the "I" is not required, it might be clearer to you if I say: "He was resisting giving me the money so I hit him upside the head and I just took it". "It" being "the money". It means after you hit him, you took the money.
