Chapter 278 Test
"Why?"
Su Xiaoxiao pointed at the light bulb above her head: "You have a 15-watt light bulb in a house of more than 10 square meters. It's not even as bright as a candle. It's a miracle you can get through it."
The sadness that had just been brewing in Liu Cuilan's heart dissipated immediately. She glared at her third daughter who had exposed her past, feeling a little upset.
She just suddenly wanted to be pretentious, is that not okay? And she's still a little cotton-padded jacket? Nothing.
Su Xiaoxiao saw her mother's expression and walked over to hug her arm and shook it. "Mom, if you want to sew in the future, try to sew during the day. This light is too dim and it hurts your eyes. I'll buy you a desk lamp later. If you think it consumes too much electricity, just turn it on when you sew."
After hearing these words, Liu Cuilan felt relieved again.
Look, her little one is still considerate, unlike those two naughty boys who just make her angry and hot all day long.
The two chatted for a while, and Su Xiaoxiao mentioned that she was going on a business trip.
At this point, Liu Cuilan suddenly remembered something: "Third brother, be careful when you go to work tomorrow morning. I saw two men with fierce looks wandering around our house today. They were acting suspiciously and they didn't look like good people."
Su Xiaoxiao was curious: "Mom, can you see what he looks like? Why didn't I see him when I got home from get off work?"
Liu Cuilan thought for a moment: "One is tall and strong, the other has shifty eyes and looks like a skinny monkey..."
Why does this description sound familiar?
Su Xiaoxiao thought and thought, but couldn't remember anything. Forget it. She felt sleepy after eating. She yawned and said, "Mom, I'm going to go back to bed first. You should go to bed early too and stop sewing. It's a miracle that the light doesn't prick my hand."
"Can't you just hope for me?"
Liu Cuilan glared at her and Su Xiaoxiao slipped away immediately.
When he got to the door, he spoke again earnestly, "Old Liu, our family isn't that poor now. You don't have to be so frugal. I'll just buy you a higher-wattage one someday."
"Who are you with, Lao Liu? Go to sleep quickly. Your mother's eyesight is fine. I'm not blind."
Liu Cuilan cursed her mother, but she felt warm in her heart. Her daughter had grown up and knew how to feel sorry for her.
Look, I bought a desk lamp and changed the light bulb. I have to show off to those old ladies tomorrow and make them envy me to death.
Su Xiaoxiao left the room and found that the main room had been cleaned up and even the lights were off.
She originally wanted to turn on the light to check the road, but when she thought of her mother's stingy look, she held back.
With a click, I turned on the electronic watch on my wrist. You know what, modern technology is so convenient.
I was just about to go back to my room to count the number of electronic watches I would need to bring tomorrow when I suddenly heard a cat meow outside the courtyard gate.
The cry was rough and hoarse, like someone stepped on its tail, and it was very unpleasant.
"Where did this wild cat come from? Its meowing is so unpleasant."
Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but complain. Just as she was about to go into the house, the cat's meowing outside the door turned into the barking of a dog.
She realized belatedly that this wasn't a dog barking, it was clearly a person imitating it.
Oh no, she forgot there were two people waiting for her at the door.
I originally planned to go home and tell Liu Cuilan and then leave, but I was so hungry that I was in a hurry to eat and forgot about the important things.
At the gate, Liu Dabing's stomach growled with hunger. He barked like a dog with a look of resentment on his face and asked Shou Hou, "Brother, is this little girl trying to trick us? What time is it?"
He said he would come out in a while, but the neighbors had all turned off the lights and gone to bed, so he didn't show up.
The most important thing is that they haven't even had a bite of hot food.
He was so hungry that his chest was sticking to his back: "I think this girl did it on purpose, to get revenge on us last time..."
Before he could finish his words, the gate of the courtyard creaked open from the inside.
The skinny monkey slapped Liu Dadan on the forehead and said righteously, "What are you talking about? Comrade Su is not the kind of person who doesn't keep his word. Maybe he was delayed by something at home."
He turned to Su Xiaoxiao and smiled brightly: "Comrade Su, can we pick up the sewing machine now? We both brought the balance."
With so much money in their pockets, they were afraid of being robbed along the way. They didn't dare to take big steps when walking, for fear that they would be too conspicuous and attract people's attention.
Su Xiaoxiao burped and when she looked up, she met Liu Dabing's resentful eyes.
The girl was eating and drinking well at home, but the two of them squatted at the door for half the night, just smelling the fragrance and drinking the northwest wind.
"What? Just to test you? You don't even have this much patience? Then let's forget about this business. There are plenty of people who want to buy sewing machines from me. If you don't want them, I'll refund your deposit right away."
Although Su Xiaoxiao felt a little guilty, she was very decisive when it came to making up lies.
Anyway, there is a saying that is true, she has no worries about the sales of these sewing machines, and she doesn't need these ten machines.
When doing business, you have to be able to deceive people a little bit.
Upon hearing this, Shou Hou immediately pulled Liu Dabing behind him and said, "Comrade Su, what are you talking about? We've already paid the deposit. We trust you, but we won't do anything that goes against our promise. Don't listen to this idiot. We have no objection even if you make us wait until late at night."
Su Xiaoxiao nodded solemnly, "That's about right. To be honest, there are many people who want to buy sewing machines from me, and I won't sell to just anyone."
As he spoke, he raised his chin and nodded at the two of them: "Come with me."
She turned and walked towards a secluded alley.
There were no street lights in the countryside at this time, the moon had not yet fully risen, and the road was pitch black.
Liu Dabing and Shouhou followed Su Xiaoxiao into the alley nearby. As they walked, Liu Dabing suddenly caught a glimpse of a green light in front of them that looked like a ghost fire.
He was immediately startled and jumped onto the skinny monkey with a roar. His two strong arms tightly strangled the skinny monkey's neck, almost strangling him to death.
The skinny monkey's face turned red as he struggled to pull at the strong man, feeling that his old waist was about to be broken.
Su Xiaoxiao heard the noise and turned around. She clicked on the switch of the electronic watch light and saw two people hugging each other.
To be exact, Liu Dabing was holding the skinny monkey tightly. The skinny monkey rolled his eyes and desperately scratched the arm that was like an iron hoop around his neck. He felt like he was going to faint at any moment.
"What are you two doing..."
It looks like they are playing some very new game, but I am not sure, I will wait and see.
As the lights came on, Liu Dadan noticed the green glow had vanished. He breathed a sigh of relief and finally let him go. The skinny monkey, resurrected, stretched his neck to catch his breath. Once he'd recovered, he kicked Liu Dadan in the ass: "Are you fucking sick? You almost strangled me."
Liu Dabing felt a little aggrieved: "Brother, I just saw... a ghostly fire, a green light, so scary."
"This isn't a fucking graveyard, where did the will-o'-the-wisp fire come from? You're asking for a beating!"
The skinny monkey was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick. Bah, who the hell gave him such a weird name and how dare he do that? How dare he do that?
Su Xiaoxiao listened to Liu Dadan's description, silently lowered her head to glance at the fluorescent watch on her wrist, and fell silent.
