Although the price is not high, it is not low either.
Today, except for Old Man Shen and Li Xiaoqin, everyone else in the Shen family went up the mountain and carried back several baskets of mushrooms.
It weighs more than 100 kilograms.
If all can be replaced, then there will be more than 3 yuan.
In total, I owed Hu Lili about 5 yuan, not much left.
Now that they had reached an agreement, Hu Lili and the other two female educated youth happily began to pick and choose the mushrooms spread out by the Shen family.
Wang Huilian yelled, "You're not going to take them all? Why did you pick them out?"
Hu Lili looked at her like she was an idiot: "When did we say we wanted all of it? We agreed on 3 cents per pound, so of course we will pay as much as we take!"
Old man Shen had a mouthful of blood stuck in his chest.
He also thought that these educated youth wanted them all!
After all, there are five people. Although these mushrooms weigh more than 100 kilograms, there won’t be much after drying, right?
Hu Lili and the others didn't care about that and picked through all the mushrooms spread out by the Shen family.
Pick out the big and good-looking ones, and remove the mud at the roots.
Liu Xiaoting even pinched off all the mushroom roots near the roots.
"Hey? Hey? Hey? Girl, why don't you just pull off the mushroom stems? How can you pick mushrooms like that?"
Wang Huilian watched her throw handfuls of mushroom buds onto the ground, feeling heartbroken.
Are these edible after washing?
Five people spent most of the day picking and choosing, and only managed to fill two baskets. They were afraid that the mushrooms would be crushed, so they didn't pack them so tightly.
Looking at the remaining mushrooms, most of which were damaged, Wang Huilian was so angry that she almost died.
When she asked Shen Limin to borrow the scale, she wanted to secretly tamper with it.
While the men were carrying the mushrooms and weighing them, Wang Huilian secretly used the excuse of helping out to pull the basket and push it down hard.
Looking at the scale bar shaking constantly, Li Jianwen was a little puzzled.
When he took a closer look, he discovered the trick.
"Aunt Shen, isn't it wrong to put your hands on the basket?"
After he said this, others also noticed Wang Huilian.
Wang Huilian: "You boy, how can you be so ignorant of what is good for you? Aren't I just helping to lift it?"
Wang Zhiqiang was a simple and honest man. He pushed Wang Huilian aside with his hand and said, "There are so many men here. How can we let an old lady extend her hand? Let me do it."
As soon as Wang Huilian left the basket, the weight could no longer be held.
The contrast between before and after is so great, anyone knows what Wang Huilian did just now?
Several educated youth looked at her angrily.
Seeing that the truth was revealed, Wang Huilian simply turned her face away and pretended not to see it.
Old man Shen's face also looked unhappy.
He urged the eldest and third sons to finish weighing quickly so that he could settle the bill.
In the end, it weighed 67 kilograms, equivalent to 2 yuan and 1 cent.
Wang Zhiqiang asked Old Man Shen: "Let's make it an even number, 2 yuan, is that ok?"
But before Old Man Shen could say anything, Wang Huilian refused to do it: "No, not a cent less."
"Look at what you have done to the mushrooms we picked with so much effort."
"Three cents a pound is already very cheap, and it can't be any less."
Wang Zhiqiang wanted to negotiate further: "Auntie, it's only one cent. We bought so many mushrooms."
Wang Huilian refused to give in: "One cent is not money? If you think one cent is too little, why don't you give me one cent for free?"
The two of them kept arguing over this penny.
Finally, Hu Lili couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Alright, alright, this penny is mine. Hurry up and carry the mushrooms back."
She didn't want to stay in the Shen family for even a minute.
Hu Lili now regrets coming to Shen's house to buy mushrooms.
If I had known it would be so troublesome, I would have spent a little more money to buy it from someone else. At least it’s more convenient!
Especially Shen Weimin's gaze that was glued to her, as if her clothes had been stripped off by him.
Hu Lili wrote a new IOU to Old Man Shen and signed her name on it, and the matter was finally settled.
On the way back, Hu Lili walked very fast alone.
Li Jianwen and Wang Zhiqiang, who were carrying baskets on their backs, kept shouting at her, asking her to slow down.
"If you persuade me to come to the Shen family again, I will break up with you." Hu Lili said angrily with red eyes.
Zhang Yumei was puzzled: "What's wrong? Although the Shen family's words are unpleasant, we are still a good match!"
Hu Lili pouted as she walked: "I hate the way the Shen family looks at me, as if they haven't seen meat for 800 years."
"If I had known this, I would have bought it from someone else. It's just a few more bucks, right? I don't mind spending a few bucks."
Liu Xiaoting was very unhappy when she heard this: "You are not bad, we are bad!"
"We were all fine before we came here, why are you complaining about this and that now?"
Hu Lili said aggrievedly: "Didn't you instigate me to come here?"
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Li Jianwen hurriedly tried to stop them: "Alright, alright, stop talking!"
"We are all benefiting from Hu Zhiqing's help. When we return, we will all give the money to Hu Zhiqing as soon as possible."
"We all live together every day, so we should help each other, right? Here, the five of us should stick together, otherwise won't we be bullied by others?"
Zhang Yumei nodded and said, "Li Zhiqing is right. We were framed because we lived in different houses before. We can't let others take advantage of us now."
Hu Lili thought of the fearful days she had lived in the Shen family in the past, and finally suppressed her temper.
Although everyone in the educated youth center had their own thoughts, none of them were as determined as the Shen family, who wanted to take her life.
"Then each of you go back and give me 40 cents, and the remaining cent is mine."
Although she is not short of money, she has already agreed to share the cost equally, and she will not be the one to be taken advantage of.
"Ah... I... I don't have enough money on hand right now. Can I give it to you later?" Liu Xiaoting turned her head away awkwardly.
"What the hell? Liu Xiaoting, what do you mean?" Hu Lili immediately got angry.
"Why didn't you tell me before you came? Now that the mushrooms are back, you say you don't have any money? Are you trying to default on your debt?"
Liu Xiaoting blushed: "Who wants to default on the debt? I didn't say I wouldn't give it to you. What's wrong with a few days late? Don't you need money?"
"Do you think everyone is like you, spending money carelessly? You act like a capitalist, huh!"
"You...you..." Hu Lili pointed at Liu Xiaoting in frustration and was so angry that she couldn't speak.
Are the three words "capitalists" used casually?
What would happen if other people heard this?
Li Jianwen also knew that Liu Xiaoting's words were too extreme, and he quickly reprimanded her: "Liu Zhiqing, please be careful with your words. We are all revolutionary comrades, how can you slander Hu Zhiqing casually?"
