033: I’m already thanking your eight generations of ancestors
So, everyone reached out and kept touching the fish in Yu Xiaoye's arms.
Yu Xiaoye did not resist and let others touch him. He did not resist or dodge, but just hugged him tighter.
Everyone then realized that this girl had a straight look in her eyes and it was obvious that she was not a normal person.
At this time, another middle-aged man wearing glasses and riding a bicycle passed by with a briefcase. Seeing so many people gathered here, he couldn't help but come over.
I thought there was a fight or something, but when I looked, oh my god, the girl was holding such a huge mackerel in her arms!
The middle-aged man held up his eyes on the bridge of his nose and kept smacking his lips.
Someone said to the middle-aged man:
"How is it? This is the first time you've seen such a big mackerel, right?"
Everyone was praising the big mackerel, and suddenly someone asked:
"Girl, where did you get such a big fish? Also, why are you standing here alone? Where are your family members?"
Yu Xiaoye deliberately looked silly, as if he didn't quite understand such a complicated question and answered:
"My mother said that this was a fish she had bought with great difficulty, and asked me to take good care of it and not lose it. I must take good care of this big fish!"
The old lady holding the pipe glanced at everyone and pointed at her head, meaning that the girl had a problem with her brain.
Everyone could see that this girl was indeed not very smart.
So someone started to have a crooked idea and asked jokingly:
"Girl, what about your mother? Where did your mother go?"
"My mother went to buy groceries and asked me to wait for her here!"
"Oh, do you know how much you paid for this fish?"
"Five dollars, that's expensive!"
"Five dollars, that's really expensive. How about I give you two dollars and you sell the fish to me? Is that okay?"
“Hehehe——”
Everyone burst into laughter.
Yu Xiaoye turned his head and looked at the person who was speaking, as if he really started to consider whether to sell the fish for two dollars.
At this moment, Xu Ying suddenly got into the crowd from behind, spat on the ground, and cursed like a shrew:
"Ugh, you've lost your conscience! Someone bought the fish for five dollars, and you want to buy it for two. You wouldn't even bully a fool like this—girl, don't be fooled. Keep the fish, don't sell it. Fish this big are hard to come by. You can't buy them anywhere. Your mother must have used some backdoor or some connections to get a fish this big. You can pickle it with salt and eat it for a long time. Don't be fooled!"
Yu Xiaoye frowned instantly, hugged the big mackerel in his arms tightly, and said angrily:
"Hmph, my fish!"
When everyone heard Xu Ying swearing, they automatically put themselves in his shoes and felt a little unhappy.
The old lady with the pipe shot a sidelong glance at Xu Ying and said:
"We're just teasing her. What's going on? Are we really going to steal the fish from her arms?"
Xu Ying rolled her eyes:
"That's hard to say. Fortunately, there are so many people. If there weren't anybody, who knows who would have coaxed him away!"
"Who are you looking down on?" The old lady with the pipe put her hands on her hips, looking like she was ready to fight.
"I didn't say anything about you, why are you so anxious?!"
When everyone looked over, they saw that the two old ladies were about to start fighting, which made things even more interesting!
I really wanted to cheer them on right there.
The middle-aged man with glasses and a briefcase on a bicycle suddenly rolled his eyes, as if he had been inspired by something. He pushed his bicycle in front of Yu Xiaoye and whispered:
"Girl, how about this? This fish is too big. Your family definitely can't finish it. How about you sell it to me?"
Although Xu Ying was talking nonsense with the old woman with the pipe next to him, his attention was always on Yu Xiaoye. When he vaguely heard the middle-aged man with glasses want to buy this big mackerel, he suddenly became excited and said with a grin:
"Girl, please don't sell it. If you do, your mother will break your legs. Your mother spent five dollars to buy it. Five dollars!"
The man with glasses saw Xu Ying was about to do something bad and couldn't help but curse:
"I bought someone else's fish, it's none of your business, why do you have to mind your own business?"
"They're selling fish for five dollars, how much can you offer?"
The onlookers also became curious and asked one after another:
"Yeah, I bought this fish for five dollars. How much can you give me?"
The man with glasses stretched out his hand and slapped him. Before he could say the amount, Xu Ying cursed:
"You're such a heartless thing! Why don't you just kill me with a bolt of lightning? I paid five dollars for this thing, and you just paid five dollars for it, not adding a dime?!"
This time even the old woman with the pipe couldn't stand it anymore:
"Brother, you're such a dishonest person! This fish might have been bought through the back door, and maybe even with a fish ticket or something, and you just opened your mouth and gave her five dollars, not a dime more. Are you thinking this little girl is stupid and are you trying to trick her?"
The old lady's words were so powerful that public opinion immediately turned to one side:
"That's right—this guy looks respectable and rides a bicycle, so why is he so dishonest?"
Seeing the shift in public opinion, Xu Ying took the opportunity to reach out:
"Well, this guy is not sincere. I'll add 50 cents and I'll buy the fish!"
As Xu Ying raised the price, the man with glasses became anxious and glared at her:
"Hey, you're doing this on purpose, can you afford it? You're deliberately stirring up trouble here. Just add 50 cents, I'll pay 5.5 yuan, I'll buy it, and that's just for me. Who can afford it if it's someone else?"
Xu Ying put her hands on her hips and started to cheer:
"Stop bragging. I don't think you can afford it. You're dressed like a real pooper, but you're trying to look rich. Do you have any money in your pocket?"
"Who, who said I have no money!"
The boy with glasses was afraid of being looked down upon, so he deliberately showed off. He picked up the bicycle aggressively, unbuttoned his jacket, and reached into his inner pockets, and actually took out a five-yuan bill and a fifty-cent bill.
When Yu Xiaoye saw the five yuan and fifty cents, his eyes flashed twice like a 500-watt light bulb.
She immediately suppressed her inner ecstasy, but her eyes were fixed on the five dollars and fifty cents.
The man with glasses stuffed five dollars and fifty cents directly into her pocket:
"Look, I buy it when I say I will, unlike some old ladies who only talk big and brag!"
Yu Xiaoye was blinded by the money. He threw the big mackerel away and reached out to hold the five yuan and fifty cents tightly.
The big mackerel fell to the ground all of a sudden.
The man with glasses hurriedly bent down to pick up the mackerel, happily hugged it in his arms, and said:
"Girl, if you sell me the fish, you'll earn fifty cents for your mother. Your mother will definitely praise you!"
Xu Ying: I'm already thanking your eight generations of ancestors——
The man with glasses carried the big mackerel, got on the bicycle, stuck his butt out, pedaled hard, and left triumphantly.
That majesty, that posture-----
The crowd of onlookers around were envious.
Indeed, not everyone can afford to spend five dollars and fifty cents to buy a twenty-pound mackerel.
And you can eat it for a long time after buying it!
Everyone just watched helplessly as the man with glasses bought the fish from a silly girl. The whole process happened so fast that they had no time to react.
