Chapter 4



Probably she didn't expect that a shy girl like her would bargain. The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment before saying, "Four hundred is too little. I see that this is your first time visiting us, so let's just treat it as making friends. If you really want to buy, I'll buy you one for five hundred and thirty."

Su Yi still shook her head, "Summer is over, other stores are having discounts, you should also have a discount."

The shopkeeper took the skirt off and touched the surface of the skirt to show her, "Our clothes are different from others. They can have discounts because the purchase price is cheap. Look at this material, it feels so smooth, and the lining inside is also very thick. It's all good material, and it won't show. Moreover, this is authentic Korean, not Guangzhou. The cost is more than four hundred yuan, and the minimum is five hundred. You can't let me lose money, my little beauty?"

"You won't lose money, just sell it to me. I'll wear it to school someday and advertise for you."

The shop owner shook her head and smiled: "Five hundred, no less."

"I only have four hundred yuan, I can't afford anything more expensive." Su Yi said pitifully.

The shop owner looked at Xiao Yan and said with a smile: "Your boyfriend is rich, and he is willing to buy it for you. An expensive gift can show your love."

Su Yi said: "It's not my boyfriend, it's my brother, he is as poor as me."

Xiao Yan glanced at her.

The female shop owner naturally didn't believe this. If you open a business, you must have some vision. Although the brand of the boy's clothes could not be seen, the material, design and style were much higher than those in her store. Moreover, judging from his speech and behavior, he was not pretending to be arrogant, but was really not concerned about the price. How could he be short of money?

It was obvious that this was a big fish, and the female shopkeeper refused to give in. "How about you increase the price a little, 480? 400 is really not acceptable."

Su Yi drooped her shoulders with regret, "Forget it, let's take a look."

After saying that, she walked out. Seeing that Xiao Yan did not move, she winked at him.

Xiao Yan did not know what he was thinking, and really followed her.

The two of them walked out of the store without looking back. After walking a few steps, they heard the female shopkeeper raise her voice and said, "Forget it, I'll buy you one for 400 yuan!"

Su Yi showed a triumphant smile on her face.

His eyes and brows were relaxed, bright and brilliant, completely different from his timid and taciturn appearance before. Thinking of the natural words "my brother" just now, Xiao Yan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

When packing the skirt, the female owner kept saying that Su Yi was too good at bargaining. She didn't make any money, and asked her to remember to introduce customers to her.

Not to mention her, even Maotuan was stunned. It was the first time for it to see Su Yi bargaining. The most important thing was that the two of them were inseparable, but it didn't even know when she mastered this skill.

It asked again and again: "Yi Yi, when did you learn to bargain? Why don't I know?"

"No need to learn, you can learn it by watching." Su Yi thought to herself.

Hearing the boasting in her words, Maotuan was speechless. When he came to his senses, he was angry at her for not fighting back: You are a devil, you have chopped down countless opponents with your knife, are you so happy just to chop off a hundred or eighty pieces!

Of course, it still didn't dare to say this, but just silently reflected on itself, is it really its fault that the devil has become so obsessed with money?

Su Yi is in a good mood now. In the past, when she saw Old Lady Qu bargaining, she was eager to do it, after all, what she chopped down was money. But usually, she only used her pocket money to buy food and stationery, and she never found an opportunity to make a move, but today she finally encountered it.

She still remembered the method her grandmother taught her. Clothes and shoes in the town were generally not too expensive, so she couldn't bargain much. It would be good to save 20 yuan out of 100 yuan. If she bargained too much, it might make people unhappy.

But Mrs. Qu also told her that she had to be ruthless at the first cut, and then see how the store owner reacted. If the other party refused to lower the price, she could slowly increase the price. If the other party said it was cheap after you bargained, you had to stick to the bottom price and not let go. If you couldn't bargain down, the worst that could happen was that you would leave and say you didn't want to buy anymore. Often, the store owner would sell the item once he saw you were leaving.

Su Yi also asked what to do if the store owner was stubborn and refused to sell even if you saw the customer leave.

Old Lady Qu stroked her head and smiled, "If you really like it, then you can go back shamelessly, raise the base price, and continue bargaining. Business people, no matter what, definitely want to make money. She wants to make a deal more than you do, so in the end it will be cheaper."

So, she still had some tricks to use in the bargaining just now.

Mao Tuan also saw that she was happy, not because someone gave her a skirt, but because she succeeded in bargaining and saved money. Although it was not her own money that was saved.

"But Yi Yi, isn't it not good for you to accept his gift like this?"

"His father was talking to him just now, didn't you prick up your ears and listen? Look at his expression, he must have taken his father's words as a task. In order to complete the task quickly, he will probably buy it even if I say no, after all it will be easier if he buys it. In this case, let's not push it back and forth, so as not to annoy him and make me tired." Su Yi took the paper bag handed to her by the shopkeeper, waited for Xiao Yan to pay, and left together.

Mao Tuan said carefully: "That's what you said, but you are a little girl who just entered the first year of high school. Isn't it too casual to accept gifts from others?"

"You mean, I should refuse twice before accepting it?" Su Yi frowned, "And why does what you said sound weird to me? Little girls can't accept gifts from others, and it's too casual to accept them? Who made this rule, the "Code of Conduct for Middle School Students"? I really want to know, am I being casual, or are you just imagining something 'casual'?"

Seeing that she seemed a little unhappy, Mao Tuan didn't dare to answer.

Su Yi said again: "Besides, are you sure that I don't plan to return the gift? Although I don't have as much money as him, I can treat him to drinks, and wait until the evening to go fishing, and then treat him to seafood when I come back. I have also collected a drawer of beautiful shells, each of which is carefully selected, and I can string them into a wind chime for him. Can you evaluate it, is it too casual for me to use these broken things as a return gift?"

Mao Tuan had nothing to say, so he had to beg for mercy with a shameless face, "Yi Yi, I was wrong "I am not thinking straight. I won't dare to say nonsense in the future. Please forgive me this time."

Su Yi snorted coldly and ignored it. She turned to Xiao Yan and said, "Thank you for giving me the skirt. I know there is a shop that sells delicious milk tea. It's right next to the parking lot. Let's go there to wait for grandma and the others?"

Xiao Yan looked down at her. Although she didn't have a very obvious smile on her face, she spoke more freely. She was not as reserved as she was at the beginning and didn't dare to look at people.

He didn't want to wander aimlessly on the street, so he nodded in agreement.

When the three adults came back from the vegetable market with a lot of things, they saw the two of them standing next to the car, each holding a cup of milk tea, and Su Yi was holding a beautiful bag in her hand.

"Yiyi, what did you and Xiaoyan buy?" Xiao Xing and Su Wanting were carrying baskets of vegetables. Qu Laokong was empty-handed and leaned over to look at the paper bag in Suyi's hand.

Suyi smiled shyly, with joy in her eyes, "Xiao Yan gave me a skirt."

"Really?" Old Lady Qu looked at Xiao Yan and said with a smile, "Xiao Yan, you spent the money. I'll cook you a delicious meal when you get home."

"You're welcome." Xiao Yan's tone was still not very warm.

But in Old Lady Qu's opinion, this boy was very polite just because he didn't talk much. She asked Su Yi again, with a hint of anger that only people who are close to her would have, "How could you let Xiao Yan buy things for you? Did you say thank you?"

It happened that Xiao Xing had just put the things away and closed the trunk door. He walked around to the front and heard these words. He smiled and said, "He is Yi Yi's brother. Isn't it normal to give him a gift? Don't be polite."

Before Mrs. Qu wanted to say something else, Su Wanting opened the car door, held her shoulders, and said, "Mom, get in the car first."

The car avoided the flow of people and moved forward slowly. Mrs. Qu stopped muttering, took out the skirt and took a look, and praised Xiao Yan for his good taste.

After returning home, she asked Su Yi privately: "Yi Yi, did you say you wanted to buy that skirt, or did Xiao Yan buy it on his own initiative?"

"I looked at it a few times outside the store, and he thought I wanted it, so he bought it." Su Yi said truthfully.

Mrs. Qu thought for a moment and said, "That's probably what your uncle Xiao meant. Forget it, since he's giving it to you out of kindness, we don't have to be petty. Just accept it and think about how to respond to him later. But you must not ask for things. It's not polite and will make people look down on you, understand? "

Su Yi nodded obediently, "I know."

Mrs. Qu knew her granddaughter well. She was very sensible, unlike those spoiled children who had no sense of propriety. She didn't say much and asked, "The skirt isn't cheap, is it?"

Su Yi got excited when she heard that. She made a four with her hand and said complacently, "The original price was 580, and I got it down to 400."

"Wow!" Old Lady Qu was really surprised, and her eyes were wrinkled with laughter. "Our Yi Yi knows how to bargain now? She even bargained down more than a hundred yuan in one breath, amazing!"

Su Yi smiled, her eyebrows curved, revealing a row of white teeth.

Old Lady Qu couldn't help but touch her head. Four hundred yuan for a thin skirt was certainly not worth mentioning to the Xiao family father and son. In her eyes, it was still very expensive, but she couldn't bear to say anything because the child was so happy.

In the evening, after the sea water receded, Su Yi changed into rubber shoes, carried a bucket and a shovel and went out to catch the sea. She had told Old Lady Qu earlier that she would have a snack for her family in the evening.

There were many tourists on the beach, and it was very lively. There were only a few people on the mud beach, all from the village.

Sue found a deserted area, put on gloves, and turned over all the rocks that had just receded due to the tide. She found a few blue crabs. For some rocks that could not be turned over, she put the hook into the gap and stirred it, waiting for the hot-tempered crabs to clamp onto the hook, and then dragged them out.

She looked down on the small ones and only focused on the big crabs. She picked and chose, and finally put four or five crabs in the bucket. There were

also many round holes on the ground, which were shoveled open with a shovel. There were often fresh clams or razor clams inside, and sometimes shrimps. Sue did not pick and choose, and threw them all into the bucket.

In a reef gap filled with sea water, she also picked up an octopus.

Some people were better equipped than she was. They were rowing their boats and swaying on the rocks not far from the coast. There were many mussels, mullets, and if they were lucky, plump oysters.

As soon as the sun went down, she carried half a bucket of her catch home, and hurried to cook the seafood for dinner.

It was still bright at this time. There were tourists returning on the road, and there were also people from the fishing village who were out for a walk.

Su Yi had a ponytail and wore a long-sleeved shirt for dry work. The sleeves were rolled up and the hem was tucked into the baggy trousers, which made her waist look particularly thin. The rubber shoes and bucket under her feet were stained with mud and looked gray.

It is rare for a beautiful girl to dress like this, and look calm. Many people couldn't help but take another look at her when they saw her. When they found that she was still very beautiful, they took another look.

"Su Yi!" Someone called her from behind.

She stopped and tilted her head slightly, and saw Su Xiaoyan running towards her.

"Where did you go this morning? I didn't see you when I went to your house. Hey... you are so dirty." Su Xiaoyan rushed over, took a step back, and kept a distance from her, for fear of dirtying her newly bought skirt.

"What do you want to talk to me about?" Su Yi asked.

Su Xiaoyan pulled the skirt and turned around in front of her, her face beaming with joy, "Does this skirt look good?"

Su Yi looked up and down and nodded, "It's pretty."

Su Xiaoyan said proudly, "I begged my mother for a long time before she agreed to buy it for me. It was from the store in the town, the most expensive one, you know?"

"I know."

Su Xiaoyan pouted again. "The clothes in that store are very nice, but so expensive, and you can't bargain. This one costs five hundred yuan, and my mother only buys me one piece once a month. She's so stingy."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Su Yi and frowned. "Why are you dressed like this? You're so black and ugly."

Su Yi didn't care about being disliked. Anyway, she was indeed black and dirty now. "I'm going to the sea. I'm going home to wash now. I'll talk to you later."

"Don't go. I haven't finished yet." Su Xiaoyan didn't let her go. "Our family is going out for a trip in a few days. We're going by plane. Have you ever been on a plane?"

The fur ball was hiding on Su Yi. It had been rolling its eyes since Su Xiaoyan started talking.

In fact, in some ways, the big devil has a pretty good temper. At least, she only retaliates slightly when others say that she has no parents. She doesn't care much about people like Su Xiaoyan who come to show off and seek a sense of existence all day long.

On the contrary, Maotuan just wants to complain after hearing it. But he said the wrong thing today, and now he is keeping his tail between his legs and dare not say anything, feeling uncomfortable.

In Maotuan's view, Su Xiaoyan is extremely vain, and their whole family is the same. Although they may not have bad intentions, it is really unbearable.

Usually, if she buys a beautiful pen, she will show it to Su Yi. If she goes out to play on the weekend, she will definitely talk to Su Yi about it after she comes back. If she buys a new skirt, she will come to her to report it.

Show off if you want to, and you also like to inflate the price. For example, the skirt I'm wearing now, I can bargain for it, but they said I can't bargain. In that store, Su Yi was able to bargain for more than 100 yuan, and considering Su Xiaoyan's mother's character of never letting anyone take advantage of her, 200 yuan would not be too much.

I didn't know this before, who made them just visit that store today, and now seeing her bragging, it feels even more suffocated. Fortunately, I'm going to S City soon, and I can be relieved by enduring this time.

Su Xiaoyan had already talked about how to board the plane and was about to talk about the airplane meal when Su Yi interrupted her: "I have guests at home. Grandma is waiting for the seafood to be cooked, so she's going home first."

Su Xiaoyan immediately looked unhappy, "Why are you like this? I even wore new clothes to come to see you. You have guests at home? What kind of guests? Aren't all your relatives gone?"

Hearing this, Maotuan finally couldn't hold it in anymore, "Can this little brat talk? You have lost all your relatives!"

Sensing its anger, Su Yi scratched it with her finger through her trouser pocket.

Maotuan was immediately flattered. This was the first time Su Yi interacted with it since this morning. It thought that the big devil would ignore it from now on. It rubbed her fingers carefully and threw Su Xiaoyan out of the window.

As for Su Xiaoyan, Su Yi didn't plan to dawdle with her anymore. In the past, she had nothing to do and listened to her chattering as a way to pass the time, and she also found it quite interesting. Now she was in a hurry to go home and couldn't support her. And the other party's last sentence was really unpleasant to hear.

She glanced in the direction of her home and happened to see Xiao Yan standing on the balcony.

The paint on the wooden fence at home has fallen off. Old Lady Qu bought new paint half a month ago, but she has not been able to hire anyone to do the work. After Xiao Xing found out in the afternoon, he volunteered to take over the job with Xiao Yan. It seems that they have finished the work now.

Su Yi said to Su Xiaoyan, "It was my brother who came. He arrived yesterday. This morning when we went to the town, he took me to the store you mentioned to buy a skirt, so you didn't find me this morning."

"Your brother?! He bought you a skirt?!" Su Xiaoyan asked loudly.

"Yeah. I was just about to ask, were you cheated? You can bargain in that store. The original price of my skirt was more than 500 yuan, and I asked if it could be cheaper, and she sold it to me for 400 yuan. The owner must have cheated you, otherwise I will accompany you to the town to confront her and see how she cheats people in the future." Su Yi had a genuine look of anger on her face, and even her tone was imitated from Mao Tuan's performance just now.

Su Xiaoyan stuttered, her eyes wandering: "What, what... no need..."

She quickly asked again: "Let's talk about this later. You said you have a brother? How can you have a brother!"

Su Yi raised her chin, "That's it."

Su Xiaoyan looked over, Su Yi's blue building, the balcony was white, and there were many roses hanging on the pillars. There was a tall figure standing there, with one hand in his pocket, casually, and nonchalantly pressing his mobile phone.

Before today, Su Xiaoyan always thought that the school hunk in their school was more handsome than many stars, could play basketball and had a rich family. He was simply the most perfect prince charming. At least half of the girls in their class had a crush on the school hunk, including herself.

But now compared with this person, the school hunk instantly became a follower.

She was stunned, then suddenly came to her senses, staring at Su Yi in disbelief, her voice sharp: "You said he is your brother? I don't believe it!"

Su Yi tilted her head, "Do you want to prove it to you?"

After saying that, without waiting for Su Xiaoyan to answer, she raised one hand and waved, "Brother——!"

On the balcony, Xiao Yan was video chatting with his friends, and suddenly heard a voice. He looked up and saw Su Yi waving at him on the embankment not far away.

He was not sure what she had just shouted, and the way she waved seemed a little abnormal, but after a pause, she still stretched out her hand and waved.

"Ayan, who are you saying hello to?" The sharp-eyed people in the video saw it and immediately became curious.

Xiao Yan didn't plan to say more, "No one."

"You still say no one, I heard it, it was a girl's voice, right? What did she shout... Did I hear it right? She seemed to call you brother?!" The other party was shocked.

Xiao Yan said, "You heard it wrong."

Seeing that he was still trying to pull up his veil and ask in a coquettish way

On the other side, Su Yi said to Su Xiaoyan, "Look, I called him and he answered. I have to go back. Bye."

Until she walked a long way away, Su Xiaoyan was still standing there in a daze.

Maotuan looked back at her, and spoke to Su Yi carefully, with a flattering tone, "Yi Yi, when you waved just now, how could you be sure that Xiao Yan would respond?"

Su Yi seemed to find this question a little funny, and asked back: "What do you think?"

Maotuan was silent immediately. It was stupid, forgetting that she was not an ordinary person. Even if Xiao Yan didn't intend to pay attention to her, she had ten thousand ways to make people cooperate.

It said again: "I thought you were going to let Su Xiaoyan fall and get bruised and swollen."

"Don't talk nonsense," Su Yi smiled and said, "Girls love to be beautiful, how can you let their faces get hurt?"

Maotuan silently hugged his fat body.

Yes, boys can be allowed to fall and get bruised and swollen, but girls' faces cannot be hurt, but their glass hearts are not necessarily.

What a big devil who is sympathetic to women.
