Probably because they both have the last name Su, Su Wan has a good impression of Su Lan.
He smiled and nodded at her, "Hello!"
That's how the two of them got to know each other.
"Xiao Su, how old are you now? Not as old as Su Lan." Sister Ni asked about Su Wan's age.
"I'm eighteen, one year younger than Su Lan."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Su Lan, look at that person, who is one year younger than you, and yet he is traveling all over the country alone. Look at you, look at you. If I hadn't brought you out, you might not have been able to leave your commune in your lifetime."
Su Lan was also full of admiration for Su Wan. In her entire life, she had only been to their county twice.
The number of times I went to the commune was also very limited.
If it weren't for Sister Ni leading her, she would not be able to find her way around, let alone get on a bus to such a far place.
"Sister Ni, don't say that. Everyone grows up in a different environment and has a different perspective. If you haven't experienced it before, you will definitely be at a loss. After experiencing it a few more times, I believe Su Lan will be different."
Sister Ni laughed twice, and there was a hint of sarcasm in her laughter.
Su Lan looked at Su Wan with gratitude. She didn't expect that she would speak for her.
"Xiao Su, are you going to City A to visit relatives or to take care of business?" Sister Ni asked casually.
Su Wan didn't want to tell her the whole story. After all, one had to be on guard against others, so she just responded casually.
"To visit relatives. I've been there many times before and I'm familiar with the route."
In her previous life, she had heard people say that the further west you go, the worse the public security there becomes, so she did not reveal that she would continue to move westward after arriving in City A.
Sister Ni praised her a few more times and then began to inquire about her work.
"I'm unemployed and currently have no job."
Sister Ni's eyes twinkled. "I feel like you speak at a high level. Are you a high school student?"
"Thank you, Sister Ni. I did graduate with a high school degree. I can't say my level is very high, but I just know a few more words than the average person."
Hearing this, Sister Ni complimented me again, "As for me, my family conditions were not good when I was young, and I didn't have much education, so I like dealing with educated people the most in my life. Educated people not only speak well, but also think very quickly, and do everything faster and better than ordinary people.
Xiao Su, Sister Ni is so jealous of you. Look at you, you have all the good qualities. Not only are you good-looking, but you are also well-educated and smart. You will definitely be able to do great things in the future."
Sister Ni flattered Su Wan again.
Su Wan didn't know why this woman was praising her so much. These true and false words went in one ear and out the other, and she didn't take Sister Ni's compliments seriously.
At this moment, Sister Ni stood up and walked to Su Wan's bed and sat down, then she leaned close to her and whispered:
"Xiao Su, let me tell you, I have a very good way to make money in City A, but I'm in need of a good helper. You don't have a job now anyway, so why don't you give me a hand? I promise you can make at least a hundred yuan a month."
They were chatting happily at first, and Su Wan also treated Sister Ni and the others as ordinary tourists.
Sister Ni suddenly changed the subject, and Su Wan couldn't help but become alert.
Why does this Sister Ni make her feel like a liar?
She had heard many times in her life that there were a lot of scammers on the bus. They usually approached you, slowly gained your trust, and after getting to know you, they would do what they wanted.
For example, when they know you are going out to look for a job, they will tell you that they are working in such and such a place, and that the salary is high and the job is easy, and they will talk about it in a very detailed way until you are hooked.
These scammers usually target women, lure you into some remote place, sell you out, and then run away with the money.
You are left in the mountains, crying out to heaven and earth for help but no one can help. You are helping those old bachelors who cannot find wives in the mountains to continue their family line.
But didn't the trafficking of women and children only become rampant in the 1980s and 1990s? Now it's still 1978, and the reform has not yet started, but these traffickers have already started to act in secret?
"Sister Ni, is Su Lan also going with you to make money?" Su Wan asked, pretending to be very interested.
"Yes, I went back to visit my relatives this time. I met Su Lan's parents and saw that they were so poor that they could barely make ends meet. I felt pity for them and brought her out, didn't I?"
"Yes, Sister Ni is a very nice person. Seeing that my family is poor, she softened her heart and agreed to take me out to make money." Su Lan at the side was also busy helping Sister Ni to score.
"To be honest with you, I have never owned a single decent piece of clothing when I was this old. The clothes I am wearing now were bought for me by Sister Ni."
Sister Ni was very satisfied with Su Lan's performance. She originally thought that Su Lan was a little bit slow, but she didn't expect that she really helped her at the critical moment.
Su Wan saw that the two of them were singing the same tune, and it was almost the same as she had guessed.
If I were to live my life again, I would never do such a low-level trick.
Otherwise, her whole life would have been lived in vain.
Thinking of this, Su Wan quickly refused and said, "I'm sorry, Sister Ni, I came out to visit my relatives, not to find work.
Besides, if I do business privately, I might be accused of speculation and profiteering. If I get caught, I will lose everything. So, I think I should just forget it. I don’t want to take such a big risk.”
After hearing this, Sister Ni suddenly burst into laughter. "Xiao Su, you don't understand this. Sister Ni, I have been in this business for a while, and if I wanted to catch someone, I would have caught him a long time ago.
I can tell you the truth, I know some big shots, they are my biggest support, so you can rest assured, even if all the speculators in the world are caught, I will not be caught, I am not bragging to you about this. "
The more Sister Ni talks, the more outrageous her words become, and the more she brags.
At this time, everyone's mind was still very simple. If it were someone else, they would have surrendered to Sister Ni's bullshit.
After all, the average salary of this person is only 20 to 30 yuan, but she can help others earn hundreds of yuan a month. This is a huge temptation for everyone.
How could Su Wan be so easily fooled by her after living a new life? Of course, she refused again and again.
Sister Ni was not in a hurry. She stood up and said she was going to the bathroom. She gave Su Lan a few instructions and then walked towards the bathroom.
Seeing her walking away, Su Wan quickly asked Su Lan, "Su Lan, is Sister Ni's hometown the same as yours?"
Su Lan shook her head, "No, my dad also got to know Sister Ni through a friend of his. My dad heard from his friend that Sister Ni was very rich, so the two of them secretly did business and made a lot of money.
Recently, the business has expanded and she is short of staff, so Sister Ni asked my dad's friend to help her find someone and promised to pay her 100 yuan a month. "
"Did they say they were looking for a girl?"
Su Lan looked at Su Wan in surprise, "How did you know?"
