Chapter 81 Betting
"Xiaoxiao, I want a stainless steel water cup."
"I want to buy a flashlight."
Su Xiaoxiao took out the notebook with a smile: "Don't worry, aunts, come one by one, I guarantee everyone will have one."
Liu Cuilan just wanted to show off, but she didn't expect the third brother to be even more boastful than her.
She knew her daughter had ways to get the flashlight and stainless steel water cup.
But we can only get two or three. Now that so many have been reserved, what will we do if we can’t get them when the time comes?
Thinking of this, she hurriedly tugged at Su Xiaoxiao's sleeve: "Old Three, where did you get so many cups and flashlights?"
Even department stores only stock a dozen or so items at a time, but my daughter has already pre-ordered a dozen of each item in just a short while.
Seeing her like this, Zhang Dongmei became even more certain that Su Xiaoxiao was just trying to be rich. She immediately leaned over to Li Huilan and whispered, "Mom, call my uncle, my second uncle, my cousin, and the others over here. Have them all come to Su Xiaoxiao to make reservations. Even if she can get one or two, she can't get so many."
Li Huilan was a little embarrassed: "But what about the money? How can your uncles afford to buy such expensive things?"
Zhang Dongmei gritted her teeth and said, "Mom, just tell them we'll pay for it and let my uncle and the others come and buy it."
Li Huilan frowned: "So much money, are you crazy?"
Zhang Dongmei snorted coldly: "Mom, don't worry, Su Xiaoxiao definitely can't get so many. The department store only delivers a dozen or so each time. She can't possibly get them all, right?"
Li Huilan thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case. She nodded and left quickly.
Zhang Dongmei watched Su Xiaoxiao enthusiastically registering, and curled her lips calmly. "Don't you like pretending? Then let her pretend to her heart's content."
She just did a rough count and found that Su Xiaoxiao had already ordered seven or eight stainless steel water cups and five or six flashlights.
By then, if we add her eldest uncle and second uncle's family, there will be twelve people in total. Where will she get so many things?
She just sat there waiting to see her embarrass herself.
Zhang Dongmei raised her chin and looked at her: "Su Xiaoxiao, how about we make a bet on whether you can help everyone buy all the things back?"
Su Xiaoxiao looked at her in confusion: "Zhang Dongmei, are you planning to give me a bicycle again?"
"How did you know I would lose this time? I was careless last time, but I won't be careless this time."
People learn from their mistakes, so why is Zhang Dongmei getting worse and worse?
But there is no reason to refuse a good thing that comes to your door.
She immediately looked at Zhang Dongmei and said, "Tell me, what are you going to bet with me this time?"
Zhang Dongmei thought about it and gritted her teeth: "Let's bet on my radio. Do you dare?"
"I don't like a broken radio. If you want to gamble, let's do something practical. How about two hundred dollars?"
Everyone around gasped when they heard this. This girl from the Su family was so arrogant. Two hundred yuan was the annual income of many rural families.
"Let's gamble, who's afraid of who."
Zhang Dongmei straightened her back and just as she finished speaking, she caught a glimpse of Li Huilan coming with a large group of people.
Judging from the visual evidence, there are at least fifteen or sixteen of them.
Unexpectedly, her mother was quite smart. She even called her grandparents who were on crutches to rush over.
She suddenly felt even more proud: "Su Xiaoxiao, it seems like someone has come to you to make a reservation again. You'll cry soon."
"Why am I crying?"
She was so happy that someone came to give her money.
When I looked up and saw a large group of people, I was a little confused. Aren’t they all Zhang Dongmei’s relatives?
Just as I was thinking about the people approaching, the old lady with a cane in the lead slammed her cane on the ground and said, "Su girl, I heard you can help everyone bring a flashlight and a stainless steel water cup?"
Su Xiaoxiao roughly counted and there were sixteen people. She was about to get rich.
Seeing that she didn't respond, Zhang Dongmei felt even more proud and thought she was just scared silly.
"Su Xiaoxiao, you're not going to say you can't buy it now, are you?"
Li Huilan also spoke up, her tone mocking: "Just now you said you could buy it, why are you going back on your word now?"
Su Xiaoxiao is not regretting at all, she is so happy, okay?
If you have money but don't make it, you're a fool. He immediately waved his hand and said, "No problem. But if you want to reserve one person, you have to pay me a deposit of one dollar first."
Zhang Dongmei was unhappy: "Why don't other people want a deposit? My family wants one?"
Su Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes: "That's the rule, buy it if you want."
Zhang Dongmei gritted her teeth. "It's only sixteen yuan, isn't it? She'll pay for it."
When the time comes, just wait for Su Xiaoxiao to slap her in the face and make her return all the money she cheated.
She immediately took out sixteen yuan and threw it to Su Xiaoxiao: "Here's the money, register."
"Okay, no problem. Here's the receipt. Take it."
No matter what the reason was, Zhang Dongmei was considered her big client, so she decided to treat her better in the future.
Thinking of this, her tone when speaking to Zhang Dongmei became a little more gentle.
Su Xiaoxiao went home and happily counted the number of reservations in the notebook. She felt as if she saw a pile of banknotes waving at her, and her heart was filled with joy.
After counting, twenty-six stainless steel water cups and twenty-two flashlights were reserved.
It’s coming, it’s coming, she’s going to get it.
Liu Cuilan came in at this time and glared at her: "Where did you get these old things?"
Even if the third child went to work in a department store, it would be impossible for him to get so much at once.
She had heard that these things were hard to find in department stores. Wasn't the third brother just trying to show off?
"If it really doesn't work, I'll explain it to those aunties and ask them to refund the order."
Liu Cuilan thought about it and suggested. Su Xiaoxiao stuffed the notebook into her pocket and said, "Mom, don't worry about it. I know what I'm doing. Just wait to get paid."
"Alright, if all else fails, I'll shamelessly ask your Second Aunt for help. She's..."
Before Liu Cuilan could finish, Su Xiaoxiao interrupted her hurriedly: "Mom, why do I seem to hear Xiao Shitou crying?"
Xiao Shitou is Xu Zhaodi's newborn baby.
His full name is Xu Gensheng and his nickname is Shitou.
After hearing this, Liu Cuilan listened carefully and really heard the child crying. She got up and ran out.
The little girl is now the apple of her mother's eye and is very precious.
Xu Zhaodi had just given birth and had no milk, so Liu Cuilan fed Xiao Shitou mouthful by mouthful of rice soup.
Xu Zhaodi watched her holding the baby and feeding him, her face full of gratitude: "Auntie, after I'm done with the confinement, I'll go out and earn some money. Then I'll definitely repay you well."
Liu Cuilan glared at her and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? The child is so young, you can't go anywhere. Just live here peacefully. If I have a bite to eat, you guys will also need it."
After Liu Cuilan finished speaking, she looked at the baby in her arms with a look of heartache.
It's a small ball, as thin as a kitten.
I couldn't help but sigh: "If only there was milk powder, look how thin this child is."
As soon as she finished speaking, a firm voice came from behind her: "Mom, what kind of milk powder do you want?"
Liu Cuilan turned around and saw that it was Su Xiaoxiao. She glared at her and said, "Alright, stop bragging at home. What else do you think? It's good enough to have it."
