"Big sister, I can't agree to your request. We're only making barbecue for ourselves, and we only brought a few plates."
"You want to take the meat and the plate for just one yuan? I definitely can't agree to that." Qiao Xiaoni had already seen through her thoughts. Don't be polite to people who love to take advantage the first time, or they'll take advantage of you later.
So she spoke very loudly, wanting everyone around to hear what this woman was up to.
Although I've never met her, I can tell from her clothes and appearance that she lives in one of these buildings. In other words, she's a neighbor.
Zhang Cuizhi took a deep breath in anger. With so many people around, she couldn't possibly be so blatant as to spend so much money on meat. She was used to being frugal, always trying to stretch every penny, so how could she possibly spend so much money on meat?
But the meat smelled so good that she really regretted not asking for more. Feeling resentful, she turned to everyone and said.
"Stop looking at this, everyone. This meat doesn't taste good at all. It's so late, why don't you hurry home and cook? Be careful, or your wives won't let you into the house if you get back late."
Since she can't buy it herself, she shouldn't let others buy it. If others are unhappy, she'll feel better.
"Zhang the Stingy, get out of here! If you don't buy this plate of meat, I'm taking it!" A man walked over, his clothes dirty and his face grime grime. He looked like someone who had just finished get off work and hadn't had time to go home and change.
Qiao Xiaoni estimated the other person's age and said with a smile:
"Uncle, I don't have any extra plates here. Go back and get some plates. I'll save this plate of meat for you."
They can also give you free chili powder; take it home, grab a bottle of liquor, and it'll be the perfect accompaniment to your drinks.
"Okay, I'll go back and get the plates. Please keep them for me, and don't sell them to anyone else!" Lu Dadan instructed anxiously.
Zhang Cuizhi pouted at him and said, "Only you dare to waste money like this. This meat is so expensive! You could buy half a pound of meat for this price at the market. No wonder everyone calls you a fool."
Lu Dadan took a step forward but then stopped: "Don't think I can't see that you're trying to take advantage of the young girl. I'm not exposing you because we've been neighbors for many years."
How dare you say such a thing to me!
"What? You want to fight me? Do you even have the guts? If you did, your wife wouldn't have run off with someone else." Zhang Cuizhi continued to expose him without any politeness, causing whispers among the people around her.
Qiao Xiaoni never expected that the middle-aged man's wife would run off with someone else, a tall and strong man. She wondered why. Seeing his eyes wide open, as if he wanted to strangle the woman in front of him, she quickly handed him the plate she was holding.
"Take it back and eat it first. Just bring the plate back to me when you're done."
Lu Dadan felt a warmth in his heart as he looked at the plate that was handed to him. He took out some money from his pocket, handed it over without even looking at it.
Qiao Xiaoni took the money and opened it. There were nearly seven or eight yuan in loose change. She counted them and took out the rest of the money: "You gave too much money. This is the rest of the money."
Lu Dadan said, "I'll leave it with you for now. I'll go back and have a meal first. If it's good, I'll come back and buy another plate." After saying that, he glared at Zhang Cuizhi standing next to him, then angrily left with the meat.
Su Chenhao spoke up at this moment: "Please leave. You are not welcome here."
