"What do you want to buy?" Qiao Lai Di asked.
"I want to sell them." Qiao Xinyi said, "Please ask if he wants a bicycle or electric fan. They are all brand new. I have a way to get them."
Qiao Lai Di was shocked. "Bicycles and electric fans? They are both in short supply!"
"If you want a TV, I have one too. Sewing machines aren't hard to come by either. As long as they can be sold, I can get them. But I have to say this beforehand. The ones I get are not discarded inferior goods. They are the same as those sold in department stores. They are all good stuff, so the price is not cheap."
"I see. I'll ask for you tomorrow. I'll come to your house when I have news." Qiao Lai Di looked at Qiao Xinyi with admiration. "I think you will definitely want it. Xinyi, you are amazing."
Qiao Xinyi smiled. She was taking advantage of the system mall and making a profit from the price difference during the mall's discount promotions!
When Qiao Xinyi left Qiao Laidi's place, she was in a very good mood and her feet had more strength to pedal the bicycle.
Last night in the guesthouse, she bargained with the system while her two children were asleep, asking for a reward for finding the two little villains. She was even shameless enough to ask the system to advance her entire year's salary.
So now she has enough capital to take advantage of the system and make a profit from the price difference.
Unfortunately, the system was not very easy to deal with and did not approve her initial application for an advance payment of ten years' salary. She reduced it for three or five years until her application for a new year was approved.
It was still early when Qiao Xinyi left Qiao Lai Di's house, so she simply rode her bike to the culvert near the train station, hoping to try her luck in finding the thief who stole the food.
You need a letter of introduction to go anywhere these days, so there are not many homeless people in the culvert near the train station. When Qiao Xinyi arrived, she saw a man sitting in the corner of the culvert eating.
놛 was sitting on a sack, which had been cut open and spread on the ground. This sack should be 놛's bed.
When he saw Qiao Xinyi riding a bicycle close to the boy, he just looked up, thinking she was just passing by.
When he saw Qiao Xinyi park her bike and walk towards him, the boy rolled up the sack on the ground and ran away.
When Qiao Xinyi saw it, she immediately chased after him.
Wow, even though this guy is thin, he can run as fast as the wind.
"Hey! Don't run! I came here specially to bring you food!" Qiao Xinyi shouted at the top of her voice while chasing after him.
The thief's speed was so fast that she couldn't catch up with him easily.
After hearing what Qiao Xinyi said, the boy stopped far away and looked back with a wary look on his face.
"Aren't you here to catch me?" The boy was still panting as he spoke, his feet still ready to continue running at any time.
"Why should I catch you?" Qiao Xinyi was almost out of breath from chasing him so hard.
"Catch me and sell me for money." the boy replied.
"Who would want you when you're so exhausted?" Qiao Xinyi put her hands on her waist and panted. "I'll put my stuff on the bike and hurry back to the culvert. I'm afraid the bike will be stolen soon, so I'll borrow it from someone else."
"You walk in front and I follow behind. If you lie to me, I will keep running." The boy still did not let down his guard.
Qiao Xinyi was so hot that she fanned herself with her hands. She nodded to the boy and turned back. After walking a few meters, she looked back and let him go after confirming that he had followed her.
Just don't trick her into taking the opportunity to run away.
Where is there any food on Qiao Xinyi’s bicycle? I could only buy a few steamed buns from the system mall, and they were still hot when I took them out.
"I rode my bike to deliver it as soon as it was steamed. I kept it wrapped in a bag along the way. Feel it to see if it's still warm." Qiao Xinyi threw the paper bag over, shook her kettle, and asked, "Would you like some boiled water?"
The boy was very cautious. He didn't eat the bun immediately after receiving it. Instead, he opened it, looked at it, smelled it, and passed it back to Qiao Xinyi a few steps away.
"Take a couple of sips first and let me see. The same goes for the water. Take a couple of sips first and let me see."
"Are you afraid that I will poison you to death?" Qiao Xinyi took a small bite of the steamed bun and drank a few sips of water in front of her.
The boy waited for several minutes to make sure Qiao Xinyi had not fainted, then put away the paper bag, took out a bowl with a hole in it from the sack, and handed it to Qiao Xinyi to pour some water.
After getting the water, he sat in the position just now, eating a steamed bun and drinking water, but his eyes were always staring at Qiao Xinyi with caution.
Qiao Xinyi looked at his exposed arms, which were indeed skin and bones. His hair was shoulder-length, dirty and messy, almost completely covering his face. It was as withered and yellow as the weeds on the roadside.
"How old are you this year?" Qiao Xinyi was exhausted after chasing all the way, and directed him to spread out the sack to make room for her to sit.
Perhaps for the sake of the steamed buns, the boy considered it for a few seconds and agreed. The two of them sat down, each occupying a corner of the sack.
As soon as Qiao Xinyi sat down, she suddenly heard the boy talking to her, "I saw you at the train station a few days ago, and I stole your eggs and pancakes."
"You have a good memory." Qiao Xinyi was a little interested and asked, "How old are you this year?"
"I don't remember, maybe sixteen, maybe seventeen." The boy swallowed a mouthful of steamed bun and asked again, "Why did you bring me food?"
"Why? Because I'm kind." Qiao Xinyi shrugged. "I can't tell you're already sixteen or seventeen. You didn't lie about your age, did you? By the way, what's your name?"
Her useless system didn't even know the villain's name or exact age.
"You can tell I'm weird because I'm so thin, but I really can't remember if I was sixteen or seventeen." The boy turned his head and stared at Qiao Xinyi. "What's your relationship with the woman selling eggs at the train station?"
Qiao Xinyi could see that this was a villain with many cunning eyes.
If she asked a question, I would definitely ask another one too.
She was asking about 놛, and 놛 was also asking her about things.
The villain is worthy of being the villain. No wonder Fu Linzhou and Fu Zeyu regarded him as their brother and followed him to death after meeting him.
"What's your name?" Qiao Xinyi asked instead of answering, and asked the same question she had just asked.
The boy suddenly stopped talking, which made Qiao Xinyi certain that he was deliberately ignoring the question and not answering it.
Qiao Xinyi chuckled, "Your name isn't going to be something like Goudan or Choudan, is it? Are you too embarrassed to tell me?"
"I'm not Goudan, nor Stinky Egg." The boy glared at Qiao Xinyi angrily. "I was sold several times and became a son to several families, so I have several names. I don't know which one you are asking about."
Qiao Xinyi was very surprised, but when she thought about the boy's speculation that she was pursuing him in order to sell him out, she seemed to think she shouldn't be surprised.
Qiao Xinyi thought for a moment and said, "I'm asking about the name your biological parents gave you."
Unexpectedly, the boy suddenly squeezed the bun in his hand and then stuffed it into his mouth viciously, using this method to suppress some unspeakable emotions.
After finishing a steamed bun, the boy responded in a very hard tone, "No name, just call me a bastard, I'm used to hearing that anyway."
The boy carefully wrapped the remaining steamed buns and put them beside him, then turned back to look at Qiao Xin and asked her, "What's your name?"
