After listening to the story of Carter's family, Xiao Peng was full of emotion on the side, and it could be said that except for the poor temporary miner, everyone was guilty.

Jesse is guilty, and her sin lies in making more demands on her family than they can afford. But for a child who was only sixteen years old at the time, wasn't that the age of willfulness?

Needless to say, old Carter and Andrea Carter killed because of greed. It's true to love Jesse, but you can't do it on the basis of hurting others. Excessive spoiling is also their fault.

All the townsfolk are also at fault, and although the affairs of Carter and Andre have affected the town's reputation, they should not take their anger out on Jesse: don't you understand the reason why you can't harm your wife and children?

Even the dead temporary miner was guilty, just as the old Chinese saying goes, 'wealth is not exposed', and China's introverted way, which he did not understand, ended up with this result. What is the show?

Xiao Peng is not a moral judge, and he does not express his opinion on who is right or wrong in this matter. Yang Meng's angry young man was not happy after hearing this: "What does this have to do with Jesse? A town of people come to bully a little girl? Woe to his wife and children, old Carter is dead, Andre is also in prison, what is a little girl doing? A few years ago, she was still a girl who wanted to be a supermodel, but now, at first glance, I thought it was a 'big zongzi' that crawled out of a coffin." Didn't do that. ”

Yang Meng is not afraid of offending people, and he deliberately used English when he said this, just to let the proprietress listen to his opinion. Xiao Peng listened to Yang Meng's words, smiled apologetically at the boss lady, Yang Meng was right, he used the oriental point of view to explain this matter, the Chinese are reasonable, and the feelings are the first.

The barmaid didn't mind, and said to the two: "You're right, the people in the town are indeed harsh. This kid hasn't been easy all these years. Can you imagine a little girl holding a percussion drill every day? Young man, if I were you, I would go and help her, in fact, the mining area where her family is located is very good, and there has been no large-scale mining in these years. Otherwise, that poor creature wouldn't have found such a good Opal, would he?"

Xiao Peng was stunned for a moment, this proprietress said this, but he was puzzled, didn't everyone in the town hate Carter's family?

"You。。。。。。 Xiao Peng felt full of questions.

The proprietress sighed: "Jesse is a good boy, she is not wrong in this matter." Do you not see how beautiful she was when she was playing, and it was completely different from what she is now. She wants to go out, this idea is correct, people have to go out to broaden their horizons, she shouldn't belong here. In fact, after Carter Sr. died, she could have sold the mine and gone to the big city to live a new life, but as you can see, she didn't do that, but stayed here and waited for her sister to get out of prison. The barmaid paused, then repeated, "She's a good boy." ”

Looking at Xiao Peng's expression, the proprietress smiled: "Are you curious why I said that? This town is full of rough miners, both men and women, they are all busy and don't want to die, will they take care of the children? All the children in the town eat almost more at my place than at their own home, and they all grew up under my watch." ”

Xiao Peng then understood why the proprietress said this: "You are a kind lady. ”

The proprietress smiled bitterly and shook her head: "No, no, no, there is only so much I can do, even if I say these words, I won't admit it when you leave here, after all, this town is so big, and I still have to count on that group of rough miners to support my family." ”

Xiao Peng nodded: "Don't worry, we will never say it." ”

The proprietress smiled slyly: "Even if you say it, I won't admit it。。。。。。 ”

Well, that's an interesting old lady too. Xiao Peng asked, "Then where is Jessie Carter's house?"

When the proprietress heard Xiao Peng's words, she showed a stretched smile: "You are also good boys, I won't tell you that the yard on the westernmost side of the town where a canvas-covered excavator is parked is Carter's house." ”

Xiao Peng stretched out his hand to make an OK gesture, settled the bill with Yang Meng and left, and went to find Jessicater.

When the two drove to Carter's house on the west side of town, they saw the old Caldwell excavator, but it wasn't covered in canvas, and Jesse Carter was haggling with a man standing in front of the car.

"The car is so old that I can only give $40,000 at most. The man said.

"It can't be!" Jessica said urgently, "It cost $280,000 to buy it at the time!

The man smiled: "This price is very suitable! This old Caldwell should be older than you, right? ”

Jesse argued: "But now we maintain this car very well, almost exactly like the one we just bought." ”

The man only gave her two words: "Hehe." ”

Jesse said, "Can you add some more? I need money right now." ”

The man was unmoved: "Who doesn't need money? 40,000, if you sell it, I'll drive the car away now, if you don't sell it, then you can continue to put it here, believe me, no one has a better bid than me." ”

Jesse hesitated for a long time: "I'll think about it again." ”

The man smiled: "I've heard that your financial situation is very bad now, and you don't have customers, how long can you last? I don't want to run to you again and again." If it's next time, I'm afraid it's not this price. ”

Jesse was stroking the front of the giant Caldwell excavator, with his name engraved on it. When she was a child, she carved it herself, and painted all the paint on the front of the car. When old Carter saw it, instead of being angry, he engraved his own name next to her name, and Andre also engraved his own name. This car has left so many memories for her.

But the tax problem is in front of her, she really needs money, just when she doesn't know what to do, the sound of the car horn sounded at the door, and when she saw the big iron gate, a large yellow RV was blocking the courtyard gate, and Yang Meng, who was driving, was waving to her.

Jesse was overjoyed and ran over to open the door and let Yang Meng drive the car in.

"Who are you?" asked Jesse.

Xiao Peng got out of the car: "Didn't you say that we need a guide? And we can't mine empty-handed, and we don't want to go to the public mine full of mines, so we can only come here to find you." How's that for you, right?"

Jesse looked ecstatic and nodded desperately: "Of course, of course!"

"Can we talk about the price?" Xiao Peng asked.

Jesse said directly: "Six hundred Australian dollars a twenty-meter shaft, oh no, how about five hundred Australian dollars?" After thinking about it, she continued: "I can also provide you with accommodation." Do you accept the price?"

Xiao Peng smiled: "We make a deal." ”

$300 for a shaft sounds cheap, but the truth is that only one of the average 200 shafts can find Opal directly. Sometimes, when you go down and see that there are only rocks, you can only re-drill the well in a different position, which is also a lucky job. If you're unlucky, it's normal to hit a dozen shafts, and it's normal to run into a quick-tempered one.

After listening to Xiao Peng's words, Jesse directly turned back to the man and said, "That, my car is not for sale now, you have also seen it, I have business here." ”

The man glanced at Xiao Peng and the two viciously, and drove away directly.

It's no wonder he's angry, if it weren't for this Xiao Peng, maybe he would have won this business, the old Caldwell excavator, even if the fuel consumption is high, how can it be sold for seventy or eighty thousand Australian dollars, this finally has a chance to pick up cheap, let the two of them be so ruined, can he not be angry?

But his eyes can't scare Xiao Peng, what can he do if his eyes are scary? Can he bite me? His eyes can't scare people.

Xiao Peng directly ignored him. Smiled and asked Jesse, "When can we go to the mine?"

When Jesse heard this, he was stunned: "Are you in such a hurry? You just got here, aren't you?"

"It's okay, we can rest over there in the mines, and to be honest, I'm really interested in your mines right now. Isn't it because of this mining that I came all the way here?" Xiao Peng was very anxious.

Jesse coughed dryly twice, with a sad face: "If that's really the case, I wonder if you can give me some deposit first?"

"Huh?" Xiao Peng was stunned: "What does this mean? Why do you have to pay a deposit first?"

Jesse said embarrassedly, "Well, I'm going to find a way to refuel the car." This car is very fuel-guzzling to operate. The fuel tank is also large, and it can cost close to 400 Australian dollars for a single fill. ”

Xiao Peng was speechless: "I don't feel that you don't need this car here because it's rare, it's because you don't have money." ”

Jesse argued: "If you don't have a business, you naturally have no money, and when I dig out a piece of the best Opal, all the money will be there." ”

Yang Meng poured cold water on the side and said, "Then what if you don't dig it?"

Jesse made Yang so stunned that he couldn't speak. Xiao Peng patted Yang Meng: "Come on, don't toss others, hurry up and get some money out." ”

Yang Meng snorted coldly: "You never bring money when you go out." ”

"Nonsense, how can a big brother go out and bring money?" Xiao Peng said as a matter of course.

Xiao Peng took out his wallet from his pocket and threw it to Xiao Peng, who took out two thousand Australian dollars from it and handed it to Jesse: "This is a deposit." ”

Who knew that Jesse didn't dare to take the money when he saw it, and looked at Xiao Peng cautiously: "Why do you give me so much money? I am short of money, but I will not sell myself for money!"

"Poof. Yang Meng and the two sprayed together. What is this girl thinking?

Jesse hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said, "Isn't it? Everyone has told you bad things about my family, right? Why do you still want to come to me? Do you want to take advantage of me like Daniel Carroll?"

Xiao Peng sighed: "Okay, what others say has nothing to do with us, I only know that we were introduced by Andre Carter." Otherwise, would I have to come to you specifically?"

"Do you know my sister?" is she okay now?" asked Jesse hurriedly.

This question confused Xiao Peng's question: "Don't you go to the prison to see your sister?"

Jesse listened to Xiao Peng's words and poured out two lines of tears: "I went, I went many times." But she never saw me, was she angry with me? Because of my willfulness, my family became like this。。。。。。 ”
