That evening, Li Guixi went to the convenience store to buy two bottles of baijiu (Chinese liquor) and got drunk with her nephew.
Wang Peng had a headache from drinking and slept until late morning.
My cousin has already packed her luggage.
My second aunt kept telling my sister to listen to her cousin and follow him in doing business.
Before leaving, Li Guixi took out a carrying pole and asked Wang Peng to carry away two jars of pickled garlic.
You carried the load on your shoulder, and I held the jar as the siblings arrived at their rented room in the county town.
I saw two people standing in front of my house from afar.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Director Tong from the farmers' market.
A few days ago, Wang Peng bought 3,000 kilograms of rice, and he personally accompanied the delivery team to deliver it to his door.
"Director Tong, what brings you here?" Wang Peng put down his carrying pole, opened the door, and invited him in to talk.
Tong Tietou looked at the rice bags in the main room and laughed, "Xiao Wang, the big market has decided to buy back these three thousand catties of japonica rice. I'll give you eight cents a catty."
Wang Peng smiled; sure enough, rice prices had skyrocketed.
Okay, okay, okay!
If he accepts the deal, he can immediately earn 1,500 dollars, but he wants to earn more.
"Director Tong, I'm sorry, my fried rice business can't do without rice," Wang Peng politely declined.
"Think about it," Director Tong said with a smile. "I'll give you cash, two thousand four hundred yuan right away."
He took out his wallet and pulled out a stack of hundred-yuan bills.
"Sorry, I'm not selling." Wang Peng refused outright.
In the end, Director Tong took it away.
As he left, he gave a thumbs-up and said, "Xiao Wang, you're incredibly lucky."
Li Fang looked at the rice bag and grinned foolishly.
"Brother Peng!"
"You're the reincarnation of Zhuge Liang! We're buying rice at a low price, and now we're going to make a fortune!"
"Let's sell fried rice at the school gate tomorrow."
Li Fang was eager to get started and couldn't wait to set up a stall.
Wang Peng shook his head. "I'm only wise after the event. Let's go, Sister Fang, let's go to Du Lei's house to pay off our debt."
School is about to start, and the Du family must be back. He still owes Du Geda 460 yuan.
Not wanting to enter empty-handed, the siblings went to the farmers' market to buy five pounds of eggs.
...
Duzhuang
Du Lei's home.
Du Geda was dejected, and his son Du Ming was somewhat depressed.
They returned from Xinjiang three days ago, and Du Lei's mother gave birth to a baby brother for him.
Wang Peng has not been at the Du family's house for the past few days.
With school starting soon, Du Geda was getting anxious, so he went to Wang Village to find Wang Peng yesterday.
As it turned out, Wang Peng wasn't in Wang Village; only Wang Cheng was at home.
Wang Cheng talked with Du Geda for a long time, saying that the Wang family would not pay off Wang Peng's debts.
Village chief Du Liu sneered, "You've been fooled, haven't you? I told you long ago, Wang Peng is a cunning bastard."
"No!" Du Lei retorted. "Brother Peng must have been held up by something. I guarantee he's not that kind of person."
"Don't be stubborn." Du Liu chuckled. "He owes your grandpa 460 yuan, and he's disappeared without a word. He's obviously trying to renege on his debt."
"Impossible! Brother Peng isn't the type to default on debts." Du Lei stared wide-eyed. "Back then, he gave my grandpa..."
"You want an IOU? He's just taking advantage of your ignorance of the law." Du Liu sneered. "You're still young, so I have to teach you the law."
He chuckled and lit a cigarette.
Listen carefully!
“Minors do not have the capacity for civil conduct, so any IOUs they issue are worthless.”
"If Wang Peng's parents don't acknowledge it, the IOU is invalid, and the court won't recognize it either."
Upon hearing this, the Du family fell silent.
“Brother Peng isn’t that kind of person. I’ll go to school to register the day after tomorrow and ask him what’s going on,” Du Lei insisted.
Du Ming said, "Lei Zi, you decide what to do. If he tries to renege on his debt, let him renege."
Du Ge nodded, took out a bottle of liquor, and took a sip.
"Yes, if he wants to renege on his debt, let him renege."
"It's just a little over four hundred yuan. His help to Leizi is worth much more than that four hundred yuan."
Du Liu was completely dumbfounded. "Are you guys crazy? That's 460 yuan!"
...
Du Lei and Feng Lingling had been dating since elementary school, and the Du family had known about it for a long time.
But Du Lei has a rebellious temper; the more you try to discipline him, the more he will defy you.
The Du family was afraid of making things worse, so they didn't dare mention it, but they were anxious.
Du Lei's grades were originally very good, but he only ranked over 200th in the high school entrance exam because of Feng Lingling's influence.
What they didn't expect was that Wang Peng's simple trick would expose Feng Lingling's true colors.
They were so grateful to Wang Peng that they simply treated the 460 yuan debt as a thank-you gift.
Without emotional ties, Lei Zi will definitely be able to get into university.
The support from his family gave Du Lei confidence.
"Sixth Uncle, I trust Brother Peng's character. He and I are best buddies," he said.
"Pah, you've only known each other for a few days, what kind of best buddies are you?"
Du Liu laughed and pointed to the cow dung on the pile of dung, "If he pays back the money, I'll eat that pile of cow dung."
Cough, cough...
A coughing sound came from outside the door, and Wang Peng and Li Fang made a dazzling entrance.
"Brother Peng!" Du Lei quickly went to greet him, "Where have you been?"
"Brother Lei, it's a long story, let's talk about it later." Wang Peng took out his wallet directly.
He took out 460 yuan, walked up to Du Geda, and said, "Uncle Du, I'm here to pay off my debt. Give me the IOU."
Pfft...
Du Lei's mother laughed out loud, glanced at the village chief with a dark face, and hurriedly carried her youngest son back into the house.
Her smile amused Li Fang, who had been standing outside the door listening.
Village chief Du Liu's face darkened even more, and he slipped away as fast as he could.
"Sixth Uncle, take care. I heard everything you said." Wang Peng pointed to the cow dung.
