"But now is a special period!" Cai Junze became anxious because he was worried about Yang'er.
He tried to persuade his mother, "The weather is so cold, and it will get colder. I don't know how long it will last. Yang'er is only three years old. How can he withstand such cold?"
"What if something really happens?"
"Then what do you think we should do?" Liu Shulin glanced at him coldly.
This kid, I just praised him for his progress, but now he's regressing?
Lu Qingyan used a "psychological attack" strategy, and he fell for it?
"I want to talk to her first," Cai Junze said. "Give her some charcoal in exchange for the opportunity to visit Yang'er and confirm his condition."
"If you think you can talk to her, then go talk to her." If he doesn't hit a wall, he won't know that everything is not as simple as he imagined.
"Mom, do you agree that I can go and talk to her?" Cai Junze showed a hint of joy on his face.
"We can discuss, but the charcoal you give can't exceed five kilograms," Liu Shulin said. "If it exceeds that, there's no point in discussing it, and I won't agree."
Since he wants to try it, let him try it.
"I see."
After getting his mother's consent, Cai Junze turned back.
Open the door.
Lu Qingyan is still outside.
She had been planning to leave.
Just as I was about to leave, the door opened.
Cai Junze walked out of the yard.
Lu Qingyan's eyes suddenly lit up, "Cai Junze, have you thought it through?"
Cai Junze frowned and said, "I'll give you three pounds of charcoal first, and you take me to see Yang'er."
He first lowered the price of five pounds as agreed upon so that there would be room for bargaining later.
Hearing about three pounds of charcoal, Lu Qingyan was immediately unhappy. "Only three pounds of charcoal? It's so cold, if I burn it all day, it will be burned out in one day. It won't last long at all."
"Then how much do you want?" Cai Junze said with a serious face.
"At least give me ten days' worth of charcoal!" Lu Qingyan said, "As long as you give me ten days' worth of charcoal, I will agree to let you go see Yang'er."
Ten days? In ten more days, we’ll almost get through this cold winter… Even if we don’t, we can still make it through a few more days.
"Five kilograms at most, otherwise, there's nothing to talk about." Cai Junze would not be fooled by her.
In fact, when he went to see Yang'er, on the one hand, he was really worried about Yang'er, and on the other hand, he wanted to see if Lu Qingyan had lied to them.
Giving Lu Qingyan ten days' worth of charcoal at once was enough to sustain her for a while. Even if her scam was exposed, her goal had been achieved.
Therefore, giving charcoal for ten days is impossible.
"Five days!" Lu Qingyan also made a slight concession and automatically cut half of it. Obviously, she felt that her request was a bit too much and the other party would not agree. "As long as you give us enough charcoal for five days, I will agree to take you to see Yang'er!"
"Only five pounds!" Cai Junze refused to compromise. "I'll go see Yang'er first. If Yang'er is really like you said, I'll come back and persuade my mother to agree to donate some more charcoal to your family."
Lu Qingyan frowned and said, "How long can five pounds of charcoal burn? Are you kidding me? Just this little bit of charcoal, and you want to exchange it for the right to see Yang'er?"
"If you don't agree, then there's nothing to talk about." His mother set a limit of five kilograms, and Cai Junze knew that he couldn't take the initiative to increase the amount.
Even if I get promoted, my mother won't agree.
Moreover, he also said that he would go see Yang'er first and they could talk later.
But Lu Qingyan refused to agree.
In this way, he had to doubt whether what Lu Qingyan said was true or false.
"Cai Junze! You are Yang'er's father!" Lu Qingyan wanted to use this to pressure him again, "Are you so cold-blooded, so heartless, and so indifferent to Yang'er's life or death?"
Cai Junze said, "No matter what you say, this is my condition: five pounds of charcoal in exchange for a chance to see Yang'er. If Yang'er's condition is really as bad as you said, our family can consider giving you some more support."
"The question is, how do I know what you said is true?" Lu Qingyan asked, "What if you just want to trick Yang'er into meeting you once and then leave him alone?"
"I'm telling you the same thing, but how can I know it's true?" Cai Junze said back to her, "What if this is the only way you're trying to trick us into giving you charcoal?"
"Because you tricked me with the stone! Moreover, you also cooperated with Niu Li to trick me out, hoping that Niu Li would steal Yang'er and exchange him for money!" Lu Qingyan said coldly, "So, do I dare to believe anything you say?"
"You're talking as if you've never lied to me before!" Cai Junze said coldly, "You've lied to me far more times than I've lied to you. I can't even count them all. How can I explain this?"
The two of them were at loggerheads!
So noisy!
Naturally, there was no result!
"If you want to see Yang'er, give him enough charcoal to burn for five days!" Lu Qingyan still insisted.
"No matter what, I can only give five kilograms!" Cai Junze's position was also extremely firm.
"Okay, then don't see Yang'er anymore!" Lu Qingyan is also proud. She will not "bend down" for five pounds of charcoal. If you want her to "bend down", you must at least do as she asks!
"Let this snow come even harder!"
"It would be better if our whole family froze to death!"
"Including Yang'er!"
"Then you will be satisfied!"
After saying those harsh words, Lu Qingyan turned and left.
If it were any other time, she would definitely argue with Cai Junze for a long time.
But now, it's really too cold.
