He simply couldn't believe that a teenager could give him tens of thousands of yuan, but if it were true, then he would have hope of paying off the debts weighing on his back.
The thought of how much money he owed and how many more years he would have to work to pay it off made him feel suffocated.
But now a sliver of opportunity to catch his breath has suddenly appeared before him, and he doesn't know whether to believe it's real.
Yuan Mengge noticed his hesitation and said, "I believe you are someone who can seize opportunities. You can think about it for a few days and give me your answer next week. I will come to see you again next Saturday."
She stood up, placed the envelope on his desk, glanced at him, and then turned and left.
As Zheng Shaoying watched her leave, she felt that the girl's tone of voice and the temperament she exuded did not seem like that of a middle school student in her teens.
Too precocious.
He turned to look at the money envelope that Yuan Mengge had placed on the table, walked over and picked it up, feeling its thickness.
Upon opening it, there was indeed a thick wad of cash inside.
His heart started pounding when he saw so much money.
He took the money out and counted it over in his hand.
Exactly one hundred bills, all brand new 100-yuan notes.
Thinking of the relatives who came to collect two debts from me a while ago, and my parents who are so old but still working so hard.
As Zheng Shaoying looked at the money in her hand, her inner struggle lessened.
With this money, they can live comfortably for at least several years.
Moreover, the female student said that after he helped her with the first task, she would pay him back for the rest of the money.
But where did this money come from? She's just a middle school student, where would she get so much money?
Is this money clean?
After he accepts it, will there be even greater hidden dangers?
Their family has already been scammed once; if they get scammed again...
I have no money, but you can take my life!
His own life is nothing, but he can't ignore his parents.
Zheng Shaoying stared at the pen in her hand for a long time.
————
After Yuan Mengge left the decoration shop, she had already anticipated that Zheng Shaoying would not believe her so quickly, so she gave him time.
The Zheng family is now in a desperate situation. If they don't trust her, they will be burdened by huge debts.
Yuan Mengge sought him out not only because she needed a capable person to help her, but also because she wanted to repay the favor he had done for her mother in her previous life.
Hopefully he'll come to his senses.
However, he might be curious about where she got so much money, and she'll have to find a way to answer that question.
She checked the time and it was already noon, so she found a restaurant by the roadside and had lunch.
After finishing her meal, she strolled slowly along the roadside, pushing her bicycle to digest her food.
I'll ride my bike back later; by the time I get to town, it will be almost one or two in the afternoon.
She didn't want to go directly to Guo Ju's house so soon; she wanted to take a nap first.
After all, there was still an operation to be carried out that night, and she needed to catch up on sleep and recharge.
She pushed the bike for more than ten minutes, and then rode it towards Heshui Town.
Just as she was riding her bicycle past the entrance of an alley, someone suddenly rushed out of the alley and crashed into the front of her bicycle, almost knocking her down.
Fortunately, she reacted quickly, bracing herself with one foot on the ground and stabilizing the front of the car with both hands.
The person was flipped to one side by the front of her car, but the other party ignored her and hurriedly got up and ran away.
Yuan Mengge could tell from the man's reaction that he was being chased.
Moreover, the man was carrying a woman's handbag.
So he turned and looked into the alley, and sure enough, he heard a shout: "Robbery!!! Stop him!!! He stole my bag! Grab him!!"
A young woman chased after him out of the alley, pointing at the man Yuan Mengge had knocked to the ground and shouting.
Yuan Mengge glanced at the woman, then immediately rode her bicycle after the man who was running forward.
The other person ran on foot, and she chased after them on her bicycle.
At first, the other person ran quite fast, but gradually ran out of energy. When he looked back, he saw that the little girl on the bicycle he had bumped into at the intersection was now riding over to chase him.
Upon seeing the other person's eyes fixed on him, the man instinctively sped up and ran forward.
The woman in the alley behind chased after her, but because she was wearing high heels, she couldn't run fast at all.
Helplessly, he could only shout to those around him, "Stop the robber...stop...stop him...whoosh..."
A middle-aged man who was buying betel nuts at a nearby stand heard the woman's shouts and immediately ran over, asking, "Were you robbed? Where did he go?"
The woman pointed in the direction the robber and Yuan Mengge ran: "Over there! Sir! Help me catch him!"
The man immediately chased after her in the direction she pointed.
The woman followed behind him, but her shoes were not good for running, so she ran very slowly.
After Yuan Mengge chased the man on her bicycle for a few minutes, the robber was exhausted. Seeing Yuan Mengge riding up beside him and smiling at him, he couldn't help but utter a threat.
"Get out of my way! Mind your own business!" the robber shouted at her.
He's not afraid of a middle school student at all!
Yuan Mengge rode her bike alongside him, parallel to his, turned her head and looked at him with a smile, saying, "Go ahead and run, keep running."
The robber saw that there were still many people on the roadside. If he attacked the student here, others might come to his aid.
He turned his head and suddenly ran into an empty alleyway, intending to lure her to a secluded spot before dealing with her.
When Yuan Mengge saw him running towards a deserted place, she anticipated his intentions.
So he happily followed.
The middle-aged man behind him ran and asked passersby for directions, and then ran towards them.
After running into the alley and finding no one around, the robber stopped, leaning against the wall and panting. He pointed at Yuan Mengge and said, "Don't meddle in other people's business if you don't want to die!"
As he spoke, he took a folding knife from his waist, unfolded the blade, and pointed it at Yuan Mengge.
After Yuan Mengge parked her bicycle against the wall, she walked over to him, ignoring the small knife in his hand: "Give me the bag you're holding."
(Author's note: This is a fictional scenario. Do not imitate this if you encounter an armed assailant in real life! Run away immediately! Then call the police!)
The robber was surprised that the woman wasn't afraid when he pulled out his knife, so he immediately rushed over and started wildly swinging the knife at her.
Yuan Mengge nimbly dodged his knife, suddenly grabbed his knife-wielding hand, then turned and pulled the knife away from her body. She then swung her elbow and struck the man in the face.
