Chapter 41: Finding trouble and searching for ghosts, selling things even to the school...
He walked up to Xu Heye, shaking his head. "You're a poor outsider, selling things in the school."
Xu Heye glanced at him and turned her attention to the students who came to buy drinks.
"Classmate, we have three kinds of drinks here: Beibingyang soda, Laoshan cola, and yogurt. Which one would you like?"
"Hey!" Wang Cai was completely annoyed by Xu Heye's disregard. He reached out and wanted to push Xu Heye. "Hey, you outsider, I'm talking to you! Who asked you to set up a stall in our school?"
Xu Heye dodged and said coldly, "Don't make a move."
Wang Cai was still relentless and was about to push Xu Heye: "I did fight, so what? What can you do to me?"
Xu Heye glanced at him coldly and started waving people: "Uncle!"
Dong Fuyun came over carrying a box of Coke, rolled up his sleeves, revealing the muscular muscles on his hands, and said, "Kid, what do you want to do?"
The short and fat middle school student, standing in front of the tall and muscular adult man, looked as pitiful as a chick standing in front of an eagle.
Wang Cai shrank his neck, looked timidly at Dong Fuyun, then at Xu Heye, and said sternly, "You, you, you set up a stall in school, doing business as a self-employed person, bringing shame to Class 2 and 3."
Xu Heye rolled her eyes at him: "...It's just to make money, it's not shameful."
"You, you, you outsider, you are so shameless." Wang Cai didn't expect Xu Heye to be so stubborn and even indifferent when he called her a self-employed person.
Dong Fuyun raised his arms and imitated Wang Cai's stuttering. "You, you, you local kid, why don't you get out of here? If you keep talking nonsense, I'll blow your head off!"
Wang Cai was so frightened that he took several steps back and fell to the ground with a thud. Dong Fuyun took two steps forward and pointed at Wang Cai, saying, "Kid, remember this: my niece has plenty of people protecting her. If you dare to scold her or bully her from out of town again, I'll be guarding the school gate and beating you up every time I see you."
"You, you--" Wang Cai pointed at Dong Fuyun and stuttered.
Dong Fuyun waved his fist: "What are you talking about? Get out of here!"
"You barbarian!" Wang Cai finished cursing, then climbed up using his hands and feet and stumbled away.
"Coward!" Dong Fuyun couldn't help but curse.
Kong Xiaoyue leaned close to Xu Heye's ear and whispered, "Heye, this Wang Cai always thinks he's a local, so proud and complacent, and looks down on outsiders. How can he be so timid!"
Even she knew that Xu Heye's uncle was only trying to scare him and wouldn't hit him. But Wang Cai was so frightened that he ran away.
"Because he has no background to begin with."
Empty in body and mind, he possesses no real strengths except the sense of superiority afforded by his local identity. Such a person, hollow within, is like a puffed-up paper figurine, seemingly tall and imposing, yet in reality shattered at the slightest poke and melted in water, completely useless.
So she didn't take Wang Cai seriously from the beginning.
But - this is the confidence that only an adult with a lot of experience can have.
If she were just a young girl who had just arrived from a remote area, Wang Cai's sarcasm and bullying might have completely crushed her.
Xu Heye glanced at Wang Cai's hurriedly fleeing back, and turned his attention back to his own small business.
This little setback didn't affect her.
If everything goes well in these three days, she might be able to earn two thousand yuan.
Xu Heye wanted to make more money in the next one or two years so that she would have the capital to invest in the Shanghai Stock Exchange after it opened in December next year. If all went well, she might be able to directly earn a house in Hu Dong.
This way, my parents will have a place to live when they come back in the future.
On the other side, Wang Cai fled back to the stands.
He was a little intimidated by Dong Fuyun, a tall and strong man who looked like a member of society, but he was unwilling to give up. So he found his cousin Wang Jianping.
Wang Jianping is smarter than him and has a lot of clever ideas.
He told Wang Jianping about Xu Heye setting up a stall outside the playground, and also about Dong Fuyun's threats to him, and then he stated his original intention.
"Cousin, those outsiders are too arrogant. Shouldn't we find a way to teach them a lesson?"
"How about kicking them out and not letting them set up stalls in the school?"
Wang Jianping glanced at Wang Cai and said, "Aren't you afraid that his uncle will squat at the school gate and wait for you to be beaten?"
Stealing someone's money is like killing their parents. If only Wang could really drive them out. Wang Jianping dared to say that even if they were just threatening him before, it would turn into a real move later.
Wang Jianping sometimes couldn't understand why his cousin Wang Cai always liked to do things that hurt others and benefited himself. They were born of the same ancestor.
People set up stalls in the school during the sports meet, and the principal and teachers didn't interfere. Why should you, a little junior high school student, get involved?
It's not like you kicked them out, so how can you be rewarded with money?
Wang Cai shrank his neck and said, "So let them continue to do it?"
He was still a little unwilling: "Cousin, let me tell you, that business is very profitable. I just saw that in just half an hour, they can sell dozens of bottles of drinks! At three yuan a bottle of drink, how much money can they make in a day!"
To put it bluntly, Wang didn't want Xu Heye to set up a stall in the school. Besides not being able to stand Xu Heye's outsider status, he was also envious and jealous. Really, the old man was making money!
Wang Jianping was unmoved: "If you're jealous, you can get some drinks and snacks and set up a stall yourself."
Wang Jianping is a smart man, although he also looks down on these students from other places.
But he wouldn't be as outwardly obvious as Wang Cai.
And precisely because he is a smart man, he knows who he can control and who he cannot offend easily.
Xu Heye is the latter. Her excellent grades, outstanding eloquence, frank and generous attitude, and stable inner self all indicate that this girl is not an ordinary person, or her family background is not ordinary.
Wang Jianping's father was a businessman, and he was influenced by him. He knew from a young age that having more friends means having more paths. You don't have to make friends, but you can't offend people easily.
People with poor conditions should not be offended easily, let alone those who can be seen as excellent at a glance.
Wang Cai was tempted for a moment, but quickly dismissed the idea.
"No, I won't set up a stall. Self-employed people are only those who don't have a job. It's shameful."
Wang Jianping sneered, turned around and left.
He is about to participate in the men's 400-meter relay race and now it's time to warm up.
Wang Cai is exactly like his uncle. He wants to make money, but he can't bring himself to do it. He values his dignity above all else. But when you have no money or power, who cares about your dignity?
Thinking this way, he felt that this new classmate was a wonderful person.
A good student with a sharp mind, he could spot business opportunities. Young and unburdened, he could afford to be a self-employed individual, a position others looked down upon. Thick-skinned but resolute, he dared to take his business over his classmates, unfazed by the ostracism and contempt he felt.
