Li Zhi angrily accused his father, his voice full of disappointment and resentment.
Then he turned abruptly, ran back to his room, and slammed the door behind him.
Li's father and mother were left looking at each other in bewilderment, at a loss.
At this moment, Song Jiao was watching this scene from the side and couldn't help but sigh, thinking to herself: "This naughty kid is actually going to get beaten."
A look of disdain flashed across her face, and then she turned and left.
As for the toys in the hands of the children in the village, they were actually delivered by the robots that Song Jiao had sent out.
She specifically told the children that these toys were not given as gifts but were won through a random draw.
If someone asked the price, I would just say five yuan each. Those toys were simple, transformable robots that were very popular with children.
Since Li Zhi didn't get the toy he wanted, he would naturally find ways to buy it.
Song Jiao expected that he would do this, so she made preparations in advance.
Sure enough, that night, Li Zhi stole the money that Li's father had put in his clothes, said he was going out to play, and ran straight to the town.
Song Jiao had already taken control of everything through robots. Whenever Li Zhi arrived in town, she would guide him to borrow money when he was short of money.
This type of loan is very convenient. You just need to sign your name and seal the loan, and then pay it back a month later with an extra dime.
In order to get the toy, Li Zhi borrowed money without hesitation.
Song Jiao watched Li Zhi fall step by step into the trap she designed, and sneered in her heart.
She has now become a transparent person in the family, and her time is more free. She can control everything as she pleases, making Li Zhi sink deeper and deeper into the mud.
Not long after, Li Zhi finally got the toy he wanted. He ran back to the village happily and began to show off to other children.
Several children gathered together and had a lot of fun. They didn't go home until it was completely dark.
When Li Zhi returned home, the joy on his face was beyond words.
He didn't know that all this was a trap carefully planned by Song Jiao, and he was just a pawn in it.
However, for Li Zhi at this moment, being able to own the toy he likes is enough to make him feel happy and satisfied.
Li's mother was about to cook, but she found that the rice jar at home was empty and there was not much flour left.
She hurriedly called Li's father and asked him to go to the town to buy some food. Li's father left without noticing that the money he had put in his pocket was gone.
Father Li hurried to the town and selected the necessary food.
However, when he was paying the bill, he habitually reached into his pocket for the money, but unexpectedly found that the money was gone.
He stood there in a daze, searching all his pockets again in disbelief, but he couldn't find even a single coin.
Father Li returned home in the dark with a heavy heart. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Li Zhi sitting at the table fiddling with a brand new toy.
He was immediately furious. He rushed forward, grabbed Li Zhi by the collar and asked, "Where did you get this toy from?"
Li Zhi was startled by his father's sudden questioning. He looked up at his angry father and replied disapprovingly, "Dad, why are you so angry? I just took a little money from you."
"Take it?" Father Li's face turned blue with anger. "You are stealing! Do you know that the money is for our family's food? Without it, our whole family will starve!"
When Li Zhi heard the word "steal", his face darkened. "Dad, isn't it a bit harsh to say 'steal'? Can it be considered stealing if I take money from my own home?"
"You...you really pissed me off!" Father Li raised his hand and slapped Li Zhi in the face. "You're so naughty at such a young age!"
Li Zhi covered his face with his hands, but sneered, then acted nonchalant, "It's just a few dollars, isn't it? Dad, you're too stingy. I can just return it to you tomorrow."
After borrowing one dollar that day, Li Zhi felt that he already had money. It was just a few dollars. He could just borrow it back and give it to them.
Hearing this, Father Li was even more furious. "Where did you get the money to pay me back? And the one dollar I gave you before was definitely not enough to buy this toy. Where did you get the rest of the money?"
Li Zhi was also annoyed. "Why do you care so much about me? I can handle it myself!"
After breaking free from Father Li's hand, he turned around and went into the room to continue playing with his toys.
Mr. and Mrs. Li wanted to find out the truth, but they really had no money to buy food at the moment, so they could only hope that the child could really bring back some money, no matter how much.
Song Jiao would always eat her fill when she came back from work every day, so she wouldn't be hungry anymore. She went back to the small firewood room nearby and started tinkering with wood carving.
There isn't much else in this village, just a lot of wood. If you carve it beautifully and add some color, you can sell it for a good price.
The next morning, when the wooden door of the shop creaked open slowly, Li Zhi was already waiting outside impatiently.
He walked in with anxious steps and headed straight for the familiar store.
He knew that this man could help him get what he wanted again.
Li Zhi skillfully operated the robot and began to apply for a loan.
The loan option that popped up on the robot's screen caught his eye, and he chose to borrow money without hesitation.
However, the robot prompted that Song Jiao's confirmation was needed.
In response to the robot's question, Song Jiao quickly gave a response.
Not only did she agree to Li Zhi's loan request, she also gave him an extra surprise - she could borrow more money as long as he could repay it on time.
Li Zhi originally only wanted to borrow five dollars, but when the borrower told him that he could borrow ten dollars, he immediately started to calculate in his mind.
Out of ten dollars, he can give five dollars to his parents so that they won't blame him for stealing.
And with the remaining five dollars, he can buy more toys.
Thinking of this, Li Zhi pressed his fingerprint without hesitation to confirm the loan.
He was secretly delighted in his heart. He only had to pay back one dollar and ten cents a month, which was nothing to his parents.
With the newly borrowed money, Li Zhi happily rushed into the toy section of the store.
He picked out one novel toy after another and left satisfied only after spending all his money.
The boss of the loan office looked at Li Zhi's cheerful back and couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly.
In his opinion, the kid was a fool for being in debt at such a young age.
However, when he turned to look at Song Jiao, he saw a hint of cunning in her faint smile.
"Miss, do you really have to give me a hundred dollars next time you come?" the boss asked worriedly.
Although the money was not his, if he lent it to a child like this, he would probably never get it back.
Song Jiao just smiled faintly, "Just do it with confidence."
She already had a plan in mind.
This village and town are about to undergo reforms, and the government will pay more compensation.
In two years at most, she could buy a piece of land for 110 yuan, including the Li family's farmland. In her opinion, this was indeed a good deal.
