âSince itâs so expensive, we donât want it anymore. Keep it for yourself!â
Qiao Xinâs stubborn temper flared. If it was really worth it, she didnât mind spending the money.
It was said that unruly people came from poor mountains and bad rivers. The old saying proved true.
They had only picked a few kilograms worth of fruit, but this person actually asked for more than 2,500 yuan. This was daylight robbery!
âItâs fine if you donât want it. Then put it back as though they were untouched. Put these fruits back and you can leave.â
âWhat do you mean? Itâs already been plucked. How can we put it back?â
âThen thereâs nothing i can do. Youâre the ones who picked the items. Naturally, you have to pay for them.â
âYou!â
âAlright, alright. Beauty, itâs just a small matter. Thereâs no need to argue so much with him.â
Wang Guanglong walked over and smiled.
âItâs just 2,000 yuan. 1â11 pay for it for you.â
With that, Wang Guanglong took out a stack of hundred-dollar bills in front of Li Chuhan and Qiao Xin. He counted 26 bills and handed them to the man.
âThereâs no need to change them extra money,â Wang Guanglong said.
âYou people are really too much. Such a beautiful girl came to your place to play and blessed your scenic area. Yet, you quarrelled with her over a few thousand yuan. Youâre really too much. You donât have any gentlemanly manners at all.â
The weighing man chuckled and did not say anything else.
He had taken their money to help them out and accepted their goodwill. Thus, he could endure a few words of criticisms without any issue.
After paying, Wang Guanglong said to Li Chuhan and Qiao Xin,
âThe matter has been settled. Take the fruits and leave.â
Qiao Xin was holding a fruit in her hand as she spoke to Wang Guanglong with a smile.
âThank you, handsome.â
Wang Guanglong was overjoyed when he heard her call him handsome. He understood reality, and his face was the complete opposite of the word handsome.
Now that this young lady actually said this, it was obvious that she was tempted.
Old Jiaâs method was really powerful. With a bit more effort, it would not be long before he could take her down.
Watching the three of them leave, Jia Hu and the others walked up.
âLook at what I said. These inexperienced women would all be tempted with the magic of money.â
âKid, youâre really something. Iâm not as good as you in this aspect.â Wang Guanglong laughed and said.
âA mere 2,000 yuan is enough to make them overjoyed. Thereâs no better deal than this.â
âThatâs for sure. Donât look at that woman in the dress. She didnât say a word, but sheâll definitely think highly of you. When we go back, sheâll definitely talk about you in secret. Therefore, we have to take advantage of the situation and show off our wealth in front of them. Then, weâll take the opportunity to get their contact information. In a few days, that woman will fall for you.â
âYou have to help me arrange these things.â
âYou can count on me.â
Carrying their things, the three of them walked down the mountain. Qiao Xin smiled at Li Chuhan and said,
âSister Li, that greasy middle-aged man must have feelings for you. Thatâs why he took the initiative to foot the bill.â
At the thought of that man, Li Chuhan frowned.
âIâm really impressed. Why did you call him handsome?â
âAiya, we have to thank someone who took the initiative to pay us. Itâs a sure-fire win.â
âIf he really had some redeeming qualities, 1 wouldnât say anything if you call him handsome, but he reallyâ¦â
âI had no choice. Iâm not as proper as you. I can easily be bought over,â Qiao Xin said.
âAnd I only used the word handsome on him. If I met someone as handsome as Brother Lin, I would immediately call him Daddy. 1 would be more intimate and sweet.â
With that, Qiao Xin winked at Li Chuhan.
âHave you done that in private?â
Li Chuhan had goosebumps all over his body. âNo, thereâs a generation gap between us.â
âHow can this be called a generation gap? Itâs a new fad. Go back tonight and try it out. Maybe Brother Lin will like it.â
Li Chuhanâs face turned red as she spat.
âLetâs change the subject. Donât talk about this anymore.â
âHehe, Iâm sorry.â
Coming down from the small hillside, the three of them walked to the entrance, placed the picked fruits in the car, and separately took out some to enjoy while visiting the reservoir.
After walking for more than twenty minutes, the three of them arrived at the Kanglai Reservoir.
âBrother Lin, this place is not bad. Itâs like a small lake.â
âReservoirs are usually like this. This one is relatively small. If you go to other large reservoirs, it will be no different from a lake.â
The two of them sat on the steps by the reservoir. They took off their shoes and placed their feet in the cool water. This, along with the bright and warm sunlight, formed a beautiful scene.
âBrother Lin, where will we be using our nets to catch fish later?â Qiao Xin asked.
âItâs boring to catch fish that way. Iâll take you to some proper fishing.â
âYou know how to fish?!â
âWhen you lead a domestic life, you have to know a little bit of everything,â Lin Yi said.
âWait here. Iâm going to buy some fishing gear. Iâll come back in a bit.â
âHuh?â
There were shops in the fishing village that specialized in selling fishing rods. Although the fishing enthusiasts who came here would bring their own, they might suddenly lack something, such as fishing lines and hooks. Therefore, the business of the small shop was not bad. However, the things were very ordinary and not too high-end.
Lin Yi didnât overspend. Fishing mostly depended on skill. The fishing rod was just an auxiliary equipment, so he picked the most expensive one and bought some fish bait. He planned to catch a few fish and eat them later.
About half an hour later, Lin Yi returned to Li Chuhan and Qiao Xin.
âLetâs go. Iâve bought the fishing rod. Letâs go fishing.â
âLetâs go.â
The two of them wiped the water off their feet, put on their shoes, and followed Lin Yi to the reservoirâs fishing area.
Fishing here bore an additional charge.
The prices were about 5 to 10 yuan higher than what was sold outside. Qiao Xin had already inquired about this before coming to avoid getting overcharged again.
âSo many people!â
There was a row of people sitting neatly at the fishing spot. Qiao Xin counted that there were at least 20 of them.
âWe didnât see so many people when we came here.â
âThese people arenât here to play. Theyâre here to fish. Thatâs why you didnât notice them earlier.â
Lin Yi looked around and found a place with no one around. Then, he started fishing.
âYo, what a coincidence. You guys are here too.â
Just as Lin Yi and the fish food were talking, they heard someone beside them and realized that it was the middle-aged man who had paid for them earlier.
They did not expect him to follow them here.
âHandsome, youâre here too,â Qiao Xin said with a smile.
Wang Guanglong was a little embarrassed and smiled.
âI came here to fish for something to stew later. I didnât expect to meet you guys again..â
