After leaving the police station, Xing Zhaozhao thanked Gao Yang, saying, "Thank you, Mr. Gao. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't have gotten away so easily this time."
Gao Yang didn't take it to heart and laughed, "Sister Xing, you're too kind. I just heard from Lian Zhou that if it weren't for you, not only him, but also Fanxing and Xiaoyue would have suffered the same fate."
After saying that, he raised his hand and gave Gao Lianzhou, who was standing next to him, a sharp rap on the head.
The sound was quite loud, with a "thud".
Gao Lianzhou winced in pain, clutching his head and howling, but dared not utter a word of anger, for he was in the wrong this time.
"It was just a coincidence," Xing Zhaozhao said.
"By the way, didn't Sister Xing go to the construction site of Zhaohong Hotel to carry bricks before?" Gao Yang asked.
Xing Zhaozhao looked at Gao Yang in surprise: "How did you know?"
“That hotel belongs to our family. I happened to be there for an inspection that day, and when I came out, I heard that a girl with exceptional strength had come. In less than two hours, she had finished all the work for the day. As soon as I asked, I knew it was you. It’s a pity I missed you,” Gao Yang said with a smile. “I had them keep an eye on things and notify me immediately if they found out you were going there again. I didn’t expect to run into you here so soon.”
Xing Zhaozhao then realized, "So that famous Zhaohong is your family. Your family's money is quite easy to make."
She earned 3,000 yuan in just two hours.
Gao Yang was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted and said with a smile, "Being able to earn that much money in two hours is also your own ability, Sister Xing."
Gao Lianzhou curiously leaned closer: "How much money did you earn in two hours, Fairy Sister?"
Xing Zhaozhao proudly held up three fingers: "3000 yuan."
Gao Lianzhou: "..."
“Pshaw, I earn more than 3,000 yuan a day in pocket money,” Gao Lianzhou said.
Xing Zhaozhao: "..."
This kid is asking for a beating.
Xing Zhaozhao turned to Gao Yang with a blank expression: "Although your family is very rich, education still needs to be provided. Otherwise, you will squander such a large family business in his hands."
Gao Yang glanced at Gao Lianzhou and nodded in deep agreement: "Indeed."
Gao Lianzhou: "..."
Hey, he's still here. Can you please stop talking badly about him in front of him?
Gao Yang then turned his gaze back to Xing Zhaozhao.
"Is Sister Xing short of money right now?" he asked. "If she needs anything..."
Xing Zhaozhao roughly guessed what he wanted to say and raised her hand to stop him: "I do need money, but not as much as you think. I can earn it myself and don't need to be given charity."
Gao Yang paused for a moment, then quickly smiled and said, "Sister Xing, you misunderstood. What I meant was, if needed, I can arrange a job for you. In any case, it's more stable than doing odd jobs everywhere you go."
Xing Zhaozhao understood, but still shook her head and declined: "Thank you for your kindness, but it's not necessary. I have three children at home, and it's impossible for me to be away from them for a long time."
“You can bring your child out; just find a suitable daycare,” Gao Yang said.
Xing Zhaozhao shook her head again.
She'd like to, but she can't bring it all.
"Thank you, but it's inconvenient, so please don't bother," Xing Zhaozhao said.
Seeing that she seemed to have something she couldn't say, Gao Yang didn't press her further. Noticing that she was carrying a lot of things on her back, he asked, "What are all these things?"
"These are the things I brought from home to sell," Xing Zhaozhao said.
"What kinds of things are there?" Gao Yang asked curiously.
Xing Zhaozhao took them out one by one to show him: "Wild wild strawberries, wild chestnuts, wild hawthorns that I found by the hot springs in the mountains, dried mushrooms and dried wild vegetables that I dried at home, and wild rabbits that I caught in the mountains myself."
“They look good, I’ll take them all,” Gao Yang said.
Xing Zhaozhao was shocked: "All of this? Can your family finish eating all this?"
Gao Yang smiled and said, "I have a large family, and many of the things you have here are durable and won't spoil. Buy more so we can store them and eat them slowly."
Hearing him say that, Xing Zhaozhao didn't stand on ceremony: "Alright, I'll sell them all to you."
"How much is it in total?" Gao Yang asked.
Xing Zhaozhao carefully calculated for him, "Although this is my first time selling goods, I've already researched the market beforehand. All of these are purely wild, no adulteration, and they've been carefully selected for superior quality. The price is a bit higher than ordinary ones, but it's definitely worth the money. Look at my dried wild mushrooms, 200 yuan per jin, these dried wild mountain vegetables, 50 yuan per jin, and these wild chestnuts..."
The total came to less than 4,000 yuan.
“I don’t have any QR codes, I only accept cash,” Xing Zhaozhao said.
Gao Yang went to the bank to withdraw cash for her.
"Here you go." A stack of red banknotes was handed over.
Xing Zhaozhao did not take it: "Do you have any change? I don't have any change."
"The extra amount is a tip," Gao Yang said.
Xing Zhaozhao didn't understand: "What's a tip?"
"This is the errand fee for you moving these things here," Gao Yang said.
"Oh." Xing Zhaozhao accepted this time without any hesitation.
But when I touched it, the thickness of the money seemed a bit off.
"Did you give too much?" Xing Zhaozhao asked.
"It's nothing, I just randomly picked a round number," Gao Yang said.
Xing Zhaozhao counted carefully and then fell silent.
No, if you want to round it up, 4000 is about right, why bother with 5000?
Gao Yang originally planned to raise 10,000 yuan.
While Xing Zhaozhao was counting the money, Gao Yang quickly loaded everything into the car and prepared to leave. As soon as he sat in the driver's seat and opened the door, it wouldn't budge. He looked up and saw that Xing Zhaozhao had stopped him.
“You gave too much,” Xing Zhaozhao said.
Gao Yang: "..."
He knew this would happen.
"Consider the rest as a deposit. If you get anything rare next time, come back to me," Gao Yang suggested.
Xing Zhaozhao thought for a moment, let go of the car door, and nodded in agreement: "I have a 20-pound wild beehive at home, I'll bring it to you next time."
Gao Yang: "..."
There's no need to be so fussy.
"Okay." He nodded in agreement and handed over a business card. "My phone number is on it. You can contact me if you need anything."
"Okay." Xing Zhaozhao nodded and accepted.
Before she could even hold the business card properly, Gao Lianzhou suddenly leaned over, snatched it, grabbed a pen, and quickly wrote down a string of numbers: "This is my phone number. Fairy Sister, remember to contact me in the future."
Xing Zhaozhao: "..."
Then there's no need.
Gao Yang drove away.
Afterwards, Xing Zhaozhao put away the money and business card, and eventually returned to the street she had first gone to.
The old men were still there. When they saw Xing Zhaozhao return empty-handed, including the empty basket on her back, they asked in surprise, "Where are your things? Did they all get confiscated?"
Xing Zhaozhao shook her head: "It's been bought."
"All of them?" The old men all looked incredulous.
Xing Zhaozhao nodded: "Yes."
The elderly men were immediately filled with regret.
“I’d like to buy some more. Those wild raspberries look really good; my grandson will definitely love them.”
"Those dried wild mushrooms are also good. Adding some to soup will make it incredibly fragrant."
"Sigh, sigh, sigh..."
Xing Zhaozhao glanced at the spot where she had seen the old woman who resembled Xiuning earlier, but there was still no one there.
"Gentlemen, may I ask you something?" she asked, looking at the group of elderly men.
