Yao Lili was fed up: "Luo Qiao, stop fooling me. Didn't you get a lot of bonuses? How come you don't have any money?"
The people watching the fun were even more disgusted with Yao Lili, the eldest daughter of the Yao family. It was obvious that she had known that Luo Qiao was rich and wanted to plot against her, which led to what happened today.
Wu Peiling's face was filled with shame and anger. She felt sorry for Luo Qiao, but she also felt that Luo Qiao shouldn't have stopped her from interfering in this matter today. She didn't know how angry Old Yao would be when he came back, and she didn't know how this matter would be spread.
Luo Qiao said, "I have more stuff in my backpack than that money. Are you sure it can't be used to pay for the four dollars and forty-four cents?"
Yao Lili said: "I just want cash, no tricks."
Luo Qiao turned to the crowd watching the excitement and said, "My dear aunts, sisters, and sisters-in-law, I have some vegetables, eggs, and two fish in my backpack. If anyone needs them, please exchange them for money. This will be a mutual benefit for us."
An old lady asked, "Girl, what do you have in your basket? My son and his wife will be home for dinner tonight, so I don't have to run out again."
Luo Qiao smiled and said, "Auntie, I have two fish and ten eggs here, and the rest are vegetables."
The old lady smiled happily and said, "That's great. I'll take all ten eggs. They're just right for my grandson. Wow, these eggs are really big. I'll go back and get a basin."
After saying that, she turned around and went home to get a basin. It turned out that her home was next to the Yao family. After a while, she came back with a large basin and a basket.
Yao Lili didn't expect that Luo Qiao also brought eggs and fish in her backpack, and she was so angry that her eyes turned red.
The lady quickly picked up ten eggs and put them in the basin. Then, after seeing the vegetables, she asked for some of each: "These vegetables are really fresh."
The sister-in-law who was the first to bear witness to Luo Qiao also said, "Then I can save myself the trouble of going out. I'll also order something if I see anything else."
The two of them divided up all the vegetables in the basket in no time. The people next to them wanted to order some because the vegetables were fresh, but they were sold out. At the bottom were two fish. They were not small, each weighing probably a little over two kilograms. It was just right for the old lady and the sister-in-law to each have one.
There were two fish left, and they both agreed to charge one fish at two pounds. However, they both knew that the fish was more than two pounds, and one pound was charged at 70 cents. The total price of the two fish was two dollars and eighty cents, which added up to four dollars and sixty cents.
Adding the 18 yuan in his pocket, the total was 22.6 yuan. Luo Qiao took out a dime and put it in his pocket. He counted the money in front of everyone, handed it to Yao Lili, and said, "We are even now."
Yao Lili took the money, counted it again and said, "You are sensible."
Luo Qiao turned around, bowed to everyone, and said, "Thank you all for bearing witness to what happened today."
Then he said to Wu Peiling, "Aunt, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first. I still have some things to do."
Wu Peiling is in a complicated mood now: "Are you going back to Qingshan Village today? But those two people are still looking for you. I always feel that they will come again."
Luo Qiao said: "It's okay, auntie, just send them away if they come. They are looking for me just to make me let go and stop pursuing the responsibility, but they want to kill me, I can't be so magnanimous as to pretend that nothing happened.
Don't worry, auntie. We live in a society ruled by law now. Everyone is equal before the law. I can't decide. If it's wrong, it's wrong. If everyone can just apologize, then what's the point of the law? "
Wu Peiling said: "Luo Qiao, what happened today......"
Before Wu Peiling finished speaking, Luo Qiao said, "Aunt, this is fine. I know you are nervous now. I will remember the kindness you and Uncle Yao have shown me, but it is only for you and Uncle Yao."
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
For Luo Qiao, this is good enough. Anything that can be solved with money is not a problem. Of course, the prerequisite is that one has to have money, haha!
