If anyone else had said that, Jiang Jinxiu might have believed it.
But is the way they're eating it now really just for the taste?
Eating so much of every kind of fruit, are you sure you're not a reincarnated hungry ghost?
Putting everything else aside, just look at her basket of grapes. Right now, they're each holding a big bunch and eating them, without stopping talking.
This way of eating is truly unsightly.
Are they taking advantage of her because she's alone and easy to bully?
Is this possible?
Jiang Jinxiu couldn't stand it anymore, so she said directly, "Fatty, just give me the money directly. I don't care what you guys do with these things."
"Hey girl, what's the rush? Are you worried your chubby brother will renege on your debt? Wait here, I'll get it for you right now."
As he spoke, he pulled a wad of cash from his large pocket.
Almost all of them were large bills, such as 100-yuan notes, 5-yuan notes, 2-yuan notes, and 1-yuan notes; there were very few notes with a few cents or dimes.
There are at least several hundred of them, judging by appearance.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
He counted out ten ten-yuan bills and handed them to Jiang Jinxiu: "Here you go, little sister, take this."
Jiang Jinxiu stared straight at him and did not take the money from his hand.
What does he take her for?
Am I stupid?
Seeing that she wouldn't take the money, the fat man simply shoved it into her hand. "Here's the money, just take it. If you tell me again where you got these goods, I'll give you another twenty ten-yuan bills."
The fat man said very generously.
He felt that the ugly girl in front of him was too ungrateful. He had already given her money, yet she was still just staring at him and not taking it.
You should know that the other people didn't want to give her a single penny.
He's already being quite generous with how much he can give her now.
If she knew what was good for her, she should have stopped while she was ahead.
Tell him where the source of the goods is right away, and then leave immediately.
Otherwise, he couldn't guarantee what those people might do.
He was doing it for her own good.
If Jiang Jinxiu knew what he was thinking, she would definitely laugh out loud.
This is trying to have your cake and eat it too.
"Fatty, I have so much good stuff, your money isn't even enough to cover the cost of my rice. Not to mention all this fruit."
We offer quality goods for a reasonable price. If you really don't want this batch of goods, just say so, and I'll refund your money. As for the food you ate, consider it my treat. Now, please leave!
Jiang Jinxiu shoved the money back at him and said sternly.
She didn't have much time to waste with them.
She didn't know if this was Fatty's decision alone or if it was made by Wu Wen's side.
If this was really at Wu Wen's behest, she can always find another channel. There's no need for them to get too close to Wu Wen anymore. She'll have to find an opportunity to have a proper talk with her Xi Chen later.
If it's just his behavior, then she doesn't need to pay attention to him.
After all, she only agreed to supply the goods because of Wu Wen in the first place.
But right now, she didn't want to waste so much time with them; her man was waiting to meet her and go home.
...
After separating from Jiang Jinxiu, Gu Xichen went directly to find Wu Wen.
Wu Wen had told him before that a supplier would be delivering goods to them today; the girl was nice, just a little ugly.
He wanted to broaden his horizons.
Take him through the delivery process once.
Gu Xichen arrived as promised, bringing with him a few bamboo shoots that Jiang Jinxiu had given him.
I dug this thing out of the mountain myself; it didn't cost me any money.
After Jiang Jinxiu learned that he was going to Wu Wen's house, she gave him a few directly. She sealed the rest, divided them into two portions, and sent them to Beijing.
As soon as Gu Xichen arrived at Wu Wen's house, Wu Wen took him directly to No. 18, Lane 6, Hanlin Street.
The place where these few middlemen worked together.
The group valued their collaboration with Hu Yue and would often go to pick up the goods together whenever they had time.
They all really liked this girl; she was easy to talk to and her products were excellent.
Her goods are always the easiest to resell, and they're the ones that make the most money for them.
Today, however, the fat man had something come up and couldn't come.
Inside the room, only Daozi, Zongzi, and Kunzi were playing cards out of boredom.
The group waited and waited until after 4 p.m., but Hu Yue still hadn't come to tell them to pick up the goods.
Wu Wen wondered if the girl had gone on another long trip without informing him beforehand.
Thinking this way, he still decided to take Gu Xichen to familiarize himself with the route first.
Daozi and the others figured they might as well stay put and since they had nothing else to do, they decided to go along.
They all disguised themselves before going out.
As they approached No. 88 Jinlin Lane, Gu Xichen raised his right hand.
All of them were former soldiers, and they instinctively stopped in their tracks to be on guard.
The others were not as perceptive as Gu Xichen and did not notice anything amiss.
Gu Xichen was on high alert. He could hear fighting sounds, screams, and cat meows coming from inside the house.
That sound...
His pupils constricted, and his heart involuntarily jumped into his throat.
He was the first to rush in.
...
No matter how fierce Jiang Jinxiu acted, Fatty and his gang didn't take her seriously at all.
In their eyes, the ugly girl in front of them, with her thin arms and legs, was no match for them, a group of grown men.
Anyone could easily win her over.
Jiang Jinxiu saw that they were still unmoved, "Fatty, I only call you 'brother' because of Mosquito Brother. Does Mosquito Brother know what you're doing now?"
Jiang Jinxiu made it clear directly.
She wanted to know whether Wu Wen knew about this matter or not.
Upon hearing this, the fat man burst into laughter, but his face soon became somewhat ferocious: "What is a mosquito? He's a fool not to make money when he can. I'll start my own business and I'll definitely make more than him."
After saying that, he burst into laughter again.
Jiang Jinxiu ignored him, but felt a little comforted. Her man hadn't misjudged her, and she hadn't trusted the wrong person.
That's good.
Hearing the conversation between Fatty and Jiang Jinxiu, the other people also came over.
One of the men, who looked shifty-eyed, said, "Hey girl, why don't you join us someday? We'll make a fortune together. I promise to fatten you up nicely."
"Yeah, girl, you're so dark and skinny now, you must be malnourished. Come with us, we'll feed you big fish and meat every day, how about it?"
"Hey girl, are you worried that we brothers won't have enough to eat for you? You can tell just by looking at us, how could we possibly lack food, right?"
"Girl, you won't regret joining us."
"Yeah, girl, look at us, we're all strong and healthy. When it comes to moving the goods, you won't need to hire anyone else. We'll handle it ourselves, saving you time and effort..."
...
The men were talking one after another, and they seemed to be very sincere.
They arranged everything for Jiang Jinxiu's future, one sentence after another, as if she were already one of their people.
But is Jiang Jinxiu so easily fooled?
