Seeing that Xu Xiangyang didn't seem sad, Liu Feng suddenly felt it was pointless.
Ma Huihui is the class beauty, and many people like her, so Liu Feng also has this unique feeling.
That means wanting to possess something and then make others envious!
Unfortunately, apart from Pang Weidong and a few others, he did not sense Xu Xiangyang's envy or jealousy.
After announcing this, there was nothing more to do. Everyone went home and back to their own mothers.
Xu Xiangyang went straight home, ignoring everyone else. He didn't have time to offer to take his female classmates home or anything like that.
Why not use that time to wash the dirty clothes in the laundry room?
Watching Xu Xiangyang pat his behind and leave, no one else said a word.
Liu Feng said to Pang Weidong and the other two boys, "You guys take Zhang Lian and the others home, I'll take Ma Huihui home."
That's inevitable. They just announced they were dating, so they can't not have any chance to spend time together, right?
He couldn't let Ma Huihui see him escorting other girls home; that wouldn't do.
Ma Huihui looked satisfied, then smiled shyly and followed Liu Feng home.
Pang Weidong sighed, his voice carrying a sense of dread.
"The class beauty is taken, let's just go back to work."
Although he also liked Ma Huihui, who doesn't like pretty girls? It's just that Liu Feng made a move on her, so he couldn't have any more thoughts about her.
For the next few days, Xu Xiangyang had nothing to do besides work. He received his salary at the end of the month, along with many benefits.
He spent all the remaining coupons on things, except for his salary.
I plan to send these things home next month; I won't be going back this month.
Just as he was taking a break, Xu Xiangyang was thinking about renovating the courtyard when there was a knock on the gate.
The voice sounded rather urgent, because he had moved to a new house without informing his family, so he was very curious about who had come.
When the door opened, there was Qian Wenqing looking dejected.
Xu Xiangyang put down what he was holding and said, "Why did you come here? It's a day off, why didn't you go out and have fun instead of coming to see me?"
He was just about to re-fill in the broken floor tiles, but now that people have arrived, he can't continue working.
Qian Wenqing looked utterly dejected and said to Xu Xiangyang, "Brother Xu... I... I've been scammed..."
He was filled with self-reproach. Why hadn't he listened to Xu Xiangyang back then? Why had he been so arrogant and thought the other person was stupid?
Looking back now, I realize I was the biggest fool!
Xu Xiangyang was stunned for a moment, then realized what was going on. But he had already said everything he needed to say, and since he had still been deceived, there was nothing he could do.
"Didn't you go to the police station?" He didn't know if calling the police would be of any use at this point, but he had to go eventually, right?
Qian Wenqing shook his head dejectedly, "This is just speculation and profiteering, no one will care."
Xu Xiangyang was at a loss this time. He guessed that the swindler was able to deceive people by taking advantage of this situation.
Since they don't care, why are you calling the police?
After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Where were you scammed?"
Qian Wenqing said, "It's in the mountain city, but the people don't seem to be locals. The grain they showed us before was only in the first few bags; the rest were filled with sand."
The person had already run away, but the others knew where the warehouse was, so they went there.
At least you've lost the money but still have the food; and you can turn the food into money.
As it turned out, apart from the first few bags which contained white flour, the rest were all sand.
They were all dumbfounded. All that "Fuqiang powder" was a scam!
Xu Xiangyang sighed helplessly, "This is too far. We're just here to go to work. How can anyone find us if you go so far? You actually trust someone you don't even know?"
It's too late to say anything now; what's the use if the person has already run away?
Seeing that he didn't speak, Xu Xiangyang continued, "How much money did you lose?"
Qian Wenqing looked somewhat puzzled, scratched his head, and replied, "Fifty, fifty yuan."
"Fifty?!" Xu Xiangyang was stunned. It wasn't that fifty yuan was too much, but rather that it was too little.
He didn't feel sorry that he was cheated out of a small amount, but Qian Wenqing had mentioned to him before that two thousand catties would cost five hundred yuan, so how come he only lost fifty?
Something's not right.
Qian Wenqing said embarrassedly, "I had heard you say that so many times before, so I kept it in mind. I paid a deposit of fifty yuan, and I would pay the rest after delivery. I didn't expect that person to agree, so I didn't lose much."
This left him with lingering fear. If Xu Xiangyang hadn't reminded him, and if that person hadn't been so eager to swindle even a little, he would have lost much more.
Xu Xiangyang rolled his eyes. This kid's lucky!
If they don't sell to him, this kid will probably fall for it. Qian Wenqing doesn't seem like a patient person; if they say they won't sell, he'll probably hand over all the money in the blink of an eye.
"Alright, consider the fifty yuan a lesson learned. Don't believe things that don't make sense in the future," Xu Xiangyang said, patting his shoulder reassuringly.
Fifty yuan isn't a lot, but it's not a small amount either. It's lucky that it prevented a bigger loss.
Qian Wenqing felt a little better. Being cheated was a terrible feeling, but there was nothing he could do to get it back.
After all, there were people who had been scammed even more than him, and those people were even more furious. Qian Wenqing breathed a sigh of relief at the thought that he hadn't found a partner.
Otherwise, others will also come after him for money. It seems he should be more careful in the future.
Since the man had arrived, Xu Xiangyang didn't stand on ceremony and simply tossed him a shovel.
"Come on, let's pry up those bad bricks along the wall and repave them."
Qian Wenqing: ? ? ?
He came here seeking comfort, how did he end up doing work?
This guy is always like this; he gets to work as soon as he arrives!
Qian Wenqing felt deeply that he was just a tool.
"Brother, could you please stop coming here just to do chores?" he protested helplessly.
Xu Xiangyang squatted down to work, not even looking up, and said, "The state-run restaurant in the city center has pretty good food. Let's go there for dinner tonight."
"Brother Xu, I can handle the bricks in this yard. You can go inside and rest. This is no problem for you!" Qian Wenqing said with a serious expression.
Then, he spat on his hands a few times, picked up the small shovel, and started working!
Xu Xiangyang ignored him, seeing his silly expression.
After finishing the work, he naturally had to make arrangements, so that evening he took Qian Wenqing to that restaurant.
Goodness, this kid isn't holding back at all, he ordered four meat dishes right away!
"Brother Xu, I'm not a big spender. I'm just tired and need to replenish my energy," Qian Wenqing said without any politeness.
However, his actions are simply taking advantage of the wealthy!
Xu Xiangyang rolled his eyes and only said one sentence out of consideration for the help he had given him during the day.
"It costs more to ask you to do some work than to hire two people to do it!"
