But as soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Fan immediately changed his mind, "Captain, I'll buy the house."
He and Yu Shaoheng were both male educated youths, so what was the point of renting a female educated youth's place?
Any educated youth who knows the rules wouldn't ask to rent a room; it's clear that this educated youth surnamed Mo has ill intentions towards them.
Three large brick houses for one hundred yuan, very cheap. To avoid the trouble of being harassed by female educated youth, we might as well just buy them.
His hasty change of attitude towards renting or buying clearly indicates that he doesn't want Mo Lijuan to move in.
Mo Lijuan's face flushed red, feeling an immense sense of humiliation at being rejected. She bit her lip lightly, looking at Xiao Fan with tears welling up in her eyes.
"Xiao Zhiqing, do you have a problem with me?"
Xiao Fan didn't even glance at her, but still explained, "Men and women should be different; it's inconvenient to live under the same roof."
"But weren't the educated youth settlements also places where everyone lived under the same roof?"
“That’s a collective; there’s only one female educated youth here with you.”
This explanation softened Mo Lijuan's expression, and she said softly, "I'm sorry, I didn't think it through."
Yu Shaoheng listened to the conversation between the two in a daze, but he didn't care too much. At the moment, he was only concerned about what he would do after Xiao Fan bought a house.
He asked, "Xiao Zhiqing, now that you've bought the house, can I still rent it?"
Xiao Fan: "No."
"ah?"
"You pay half the price, and we'll buy it together."
"ah?"
"You don't want to?"
Yu Shaoheng scratched his head awkwardly, "It's not that I'm unwilling, it's that I don't have that much money."
He secretly signed up to go to the countryside, and his family didn't know when he left, so he couldn't ask them for money. He also didn't have the habit of saving money, and he would spend all his pocket money every month.
When he left, he only had a little pocket money left for the month. He spent 20 or 30 yuan on food on the way, and now he only has 40 yuan left. He needs to pay half of the house price, which is 50 yuan, and he can't afford it.
When he said he had no money, Xiao Fan looked at him with disbelief.
He was wearing an imported watch worth thousands of yuan on his wrist and trendy clothes. This outfit would easily cost over a hundred yuan in a department store, but he actually told him it was less than 50 yuan.
Is this a joke?
Yu Shaoheng felt a little uncomfortable being stared at. He couldn't say in public that he had secretly gone to the countryside because his family didn't agree to it, for fear that people would say his family lacked awareness. So he could only pull Xiao Fan aside and whisper a few words to him.
Xiao Fan understood. He had been wondering how this guy, who was radiating golden light all over his body, could be broke. It turned out he had sneaked out without any money.
Sigh, people are indeed different.
He wanted to go to the countryside, but his family wouldn't allow it; he didn't want to go, but his family forced him to come.
"You can pay the rent with your belongings."
Hearing this, Yu Shaoheng's eyes lit up. "Really? When I left, I took a few little yellow fish that my grandma gave me to play with. I woohoo..."
Xiao Fan covered up what was to come with his large hand.
Xiao Fan was speechless. What kind of idiot was this? He didn't even have the basic common sense of not flaunting his wealth, yet he still said it so brazenly. Fortunately, the two of them had gone to the side to talk earlier, so the others probably didn't hear what they said clearly.
Before Yu Shaoheng could react to being suddenly covered in the mouth, he asked in a wronged tone, "What are you doing?"
Xiao Fan lowered his voice, "Don't you understand the principle of not flaunting wealth?"
"I didn't flaunt my wealth, and I didn't take out any money or banknotes."
Xiao Fan was speechless, thinking it was really not easy for this person to grow up to be this big.
"I can't say anything."
"Huh? Oh, okay!" She quickly covered her mouth.
After a while, she asked in a low voice, "Can I use a small yellow croaker to pay for the house?"
He felt guilty for taking advantage of others by using the toy yellow fish to offset the mortgage payment.
Xiao Fan asked with a complicated expression, "Do you know how much money you can get for a small yellow croaker at the bank?"
"How many?"
He never exchanged it. This thing is golden and shiny. His grandma gave it to him as a toy. It's so small, like a peanut, that it's not a big deal if it falls.
Sometimes his grandmother wouldn't give him pocket money, and would say she would give him a small yellow croaker instead. His pocket money was only a little over a hundred yuan a month, and it wasn't just from his grandmother, but from his grandfather, parents, and aunts.
His grandma said that it was only worth a few dozen yuan to offset her allowance.
Seeing that he genuinely didn't know, Xiao Fan casually uttered a number, "Around 200."
This is the bank's price; on the black market, it could fetch over 300.
Yu Shaoheng's eyes widened. "So many?"
Xiao Fan didn't say anything more. If he hadn't seen how incredibly stupid Xiao Fan was, he really wouldn't have wanted to waste his breath.
Yu Shaoheng regretted not bringing more small yellow croakers with him when he left home. He had only thought of catching a few to take with him and look at when he missed his grandmother. Who knew they could be exchanged for so much money?
How much money would he need to exchange those two jars at home for?
gurgle—
No, he had to call home. He'd just left those two jars on his desk; he couldn't let his family lose them. His grandma had to hide them carefully.
He ran to Lu Guoan and asked, "Captain, I want to make a phone call. Where is the captain's phone number?"
Lu Guoan waved his hand, "The brigade doesn't have a phone."
"Huh? Why isn't there a phone? How do I make a call?"
"We can only go to the commune."
"Can you send a car to the commune if I go there now?"
"What the heck?"
Lu Guoan looked at him as if he were an idiot. Was this kid here to act like a big shot?
Upon hearing this, Xiao Fan, who was usually calm and collected, almost lost his composure, and his lips twitched uncontrollably.
