Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Smashed Plum
"One-Five...... 10...... Fifteen...... Twenty ......"
Zhong Huan looked at Peng Lei, who was sitting on the bed and counting the money seriously, and was speechless. After the two of them returned to the rental house, Peng Lei began to count the money, which he ordered three times, and he didn't enjoy it enough.
"Peng Lei, do you understand?" Zhong Huan asked impatiently.
"Hey, hey~ Count clearly. Big brother, we're rich. Guess how much it is? Peng Lei smiled and sold a pass.
"Don't you act like you've just come back from robbing the bank? Isn't it just 9,200 yuan, and you're really there. ”
Zhong Huan also felt that this money was a lot, if it was placed in the past, his performance might not be better than Peng Lei. But with the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu, Zhong Huan had confidence, he knew that making this money was just the beginning.
"As for! How not? It's 10,000 yuan smaller, and my family hasn't had this harvest for a year. By the way, how do you know it's nine thousand two? Peng Lei wondered.
"When you finished counting the first time, you muttered, and I really convinced you." Zhong Huan didn't know what to say.
Peng Lei smiled embarrassedly, handed the money to Zhong Huan and said, "It's not like I haven't made so much money." Our business is too good, will we do it tomorrow? ”
"! Why not? Come, divide today's money first. It's yours. ”
Zhong Huan said and divided the money into two equal parts, and then divided one of them into two again and pushed it in front of Peng Lei. According to the previously agreed distribution plan, Zhong Huan and Peng Lei, who sell fruits, each account for a quarter, and Zhong Huan's fictitious master accounts for two-quarters.
"Zhong Huan, I didn't help much today, I can't ask for this money."
Peng Lei looked at the two thousand three hundred yuan in front of him and suddenly became serious. To be honest, Peng Lei is also short of money, if it weren't for his sister Peng Miao dropping out of school to work for him to study, he wouldn't have the opportunity to go to college at all. Jia Jia broke up with him, which gave him a new understanding of money. But he has the bottom line of being a man, and he is useless, he thinks that Zhong Huan can do it alone today, and he is a little weak in holding this money.
"If you want to take it, take it! Who says you didn't help? If it weren't for you, I would have suffered a loss to deal with that cow fruit alone. This is a friendship between the two of us who have been through the window together and carried guns together. Now it's almost time to share the spoils together, you don't want to treat me as a buddy. ”
Zhong Huan has already taken the lion's share, and Peng Lei's share is also what he deserves. Even if Peng Lei doesn't contribute much today, if the two want to continue to cooperate, they must have equal interests, and Zhong Huan is not stingy with his brothers.
Peng Lei heard Zhong Huan talk about this, so he nodded and took the money and said, "Good buddy, you will be my eldest brother in the future, and I will follow you." "Peng Lei called Zhong Huan's eldest brother a bit of a joke before, but now he really treats Zhong Huan as his brother.
"Peng Lei, don't ask for it! Zhong Huan, why did you take Lei Lei to do something illegal? ”
As soon as Peng Lei's words fell, the door of the rental house was pushed open. Standing outside the door was a girl in her twenties, her black hair was tied into a big braid, and her thick eyebrows and big eyes looked a little similar to Peng Lei, it was Peng Lei's sister Peng Miao.
Peng Miao came home from work, and before she entered the house, she heard someone talking in the house, and vaguely heard the money or something. She heard that one of the people's voices was her younger brother Peng Lei, and she was curious and stood at the door without entering the house, trying to understand what was going on. When she heard what Zhong Huan said about dealing with Niu Shuoguo, and what he said about sharing the spoils together, she suddenly cried out angrily. She works so hard to let her younger brother learn well and get ahead in the future. didn't expect Zhong Huan to take her younger brother to rob, how could she not be sad?
"Sister, we didn't do anything illegal!"
Peng Lei was dumbfounded when he saw tears shining in Peng Miao's eyes. For this sister who has always loved him, Peng Lei loves and fears him, and never dares to speak back. Seeing my sister is like meeting my parents.
"He also said that he didn't do anything illegal! So where did all this money come from? I heard it all just now, did you rob a man named Niu Shuoguo? Lei Lei, this is a crime! Listen to my sister, I don't want this money. ”
Peng Miao was really heartbroken, and her tears kept flowing. At this time, she was also struggling in her heart, hesitating whether she should let Peng Lei return the money and turn herself in and strive for leniency. But in case Peng Lei was sentenced for this incident, Peng Miao felt sorry for his parents and wanted to shield his younger brother. But no matter what, this kind of black money Peng Miao will not let Peng Lei want.
"Sister Peng Miao, you misunderstood! We didn't rob the money, we earned it by selling plums. ”
Zhong Huan felt a little crying and laughing, he didn't expect such a big oolong. Although he was not very familiar with Peng Miao, he had met twice before, so he helped Peng Lei explain on the side.
"I'm not your sister, and I can't control you. Zhong Huan, I called my parents two days ago and heard them praise you, but I didn't expect you to take our family Lei Lei to do this kind of thing. I advise you to take this money and turn yourself in as soon as possible, and don't make mistakes again and again. ”
Peng Miao didn't listen to Zhong Huan's explanation at all, she couldn't hate her brother Peng Lei, so she hated Zhong Huan for taking her brother badly.
"Sister, what Zhong Huan said is true! This money is really what we earned from selling plums. Peng Lei finally came back to his senses and knew that his sister had misunderstood, so he hurriedly explained.
"Peng Lei, you have learned to lie! What plums can sell for so much money? Also, what about the plums you sell? Take it out and show me. It can't be all sold out without one left, right? Peng Miao wiped her tears and said angrily.
Hearing Peng Miao's question, Peng Lei was really dumbfounded. Just now they patronized and sold for money, and they forgot to leave a few plums for Peng Miao to taste, and they were all sold out. It's a good thing that I can't even get the evidence.
"Sister Peng Miao, don't you want to see plums. I'll bring it to you. ”
Zhong Huan knew that if he didn't come up with some evidence, Peng Miao wouldn't believe him, so he turned around and walked out.
Peng Miao wasn't afraid that he would run away, anyway, the money was still on the table. When Peng Lei saw Zhong Huan going out, he didn't know where he was going to get the plums, and thought he was going to find his master. But in a blink of an eye, Zhong Huan came back, still holding a plum in his hand, but the plum was half rotten and seemed to have fallen on the ground.
"That's what we're selling." Zhong Huan took the plum to Peng Miao and said.
Peng Miao didn't expect Zhong Huan to really take a plum into the house, this plum is quite big, but it's a pity that it was broken. However, this does not affect the taste of the plums, but you can smell a rich fruity aroma wafting from the broken part.
"Are you really going to sell plums?"
Peng Miao saw that Zhong Huan and Peng Lei both looked right, and calmed down. The plums in front of me are really good, and it shouldn't be difficult to sell.
"Sister, what we said is true......"
Peng Lei finally had a chance to explain, so he told the story of selling plums, and naturally talked about Niu Shuoguo's bullying and domination of the market and conflicts with them.
"Sister, if you still don't believe me, we can go to the police station together and find Officer Liu and Officer Kong to testify against us. They also bought our plums. After Peng Lei finished speaking, he finally remembered that he still had two strong witnesses.
Peng Miao couldn't help blushing a little when she heard her brother finish speaking. She actually knows very well what her brother's temperament is, and it was only because of the suddenness of the incident just now that she was in a mess. After listening to Peng Lei at this time, she already believed her brother's words. If his younger brother and Zhong Huan lied, they would never dare to confront the police.
"I see! Zhong Huan, Lei Lei, I'm sorry! My sister misunderstood you. You guys are amazing. Peng Miao, who burst into tears and laughed, said embarrassedly.
"It's okay! It's good to say that the misunderstanding is open. Zhong Huan didn't take this little thing to heart, and he could understand Peng Miao's feelings of caring for his younger brother.
"Big brother, I remember that the plums were sold out. Where did you find that? Peng Lei saw that the misunderstanding was solved, so he cared about the plums that Zhong Huan got back, which was the key evidence to prove his innocence.
"You forgot. This is the plum you threw at the fruit. At that time, it fell on the ground and broke and couldn't be sold, so I picked it up. ”
Zhong Huan said with a secret smile in his heart. Peng Lei threw out the plum that he didn't know where it had gone, and he took it out of the storage hall. It's just to have an excuse, so I deliberately smashed half of it and brought it into the house. The plum can still exude such a rich sweetness, also because it has just been smashed.
"You really are. I sold a cart of plums, so I brought back a rotten plum for my sister. Peng Miao was in a better mood and joked with her two younger brothers.
"Sister, we're going to set up a stall tomorrow. I'll be sure to leave you some more when the time comes. The plums planted by Master Zhong Huan are sweet. In order to explain clearly, Peng Lei just shook out Zhong Huan's fictitious master.
"No need! Okay, you might as well keep it for the money. Isn't there still half of it to eat? My sister tasted this plum that had beaten the bad guys and made great contributions. ”
Peng Miao is not a casual waster, as soon as she heard that this plum could be sold for a very expensive price, she was reluctant to eat it. Anyway, it's just a taste, and the plum that is half broken in your hand can be washed and cut and eaten.
"Sister Peng Miao, don't eat the bad ones. I'll get it for you tomorrow. ”
There are so many plums in Zhong Huan's Ten Thousand Beasts Gu that I really can't see Peng Miao being so thrifty. What's more, this plum was deliberately smashed by him just now, compared with Peng Miao, Zhong Huan felt like a loser.
"Zhong Huan, it's not easy for your master to grow some good things, and you and Lei Lei have just started a business, so you can save some. In the future, whether it is to pay tuition fees or expand business, it can be used, but it is not possible to spend lavishly. As long as you can make a difference in the future, it doesn't matter if my sister eats plums or not. ”
Peng Miao's monthly salary is more than 2,000. Peng Lei earned two thousand three in one day, and Peng Miao was of course happy. But she was worried that the money would come too quickly, Zhong Huan and Peng Lei didn't know how to cherish it, and they used it faster. If you develop a habit of wasting or get into some bad habits, then you might as well not have the money.
"Hmm~ I see." Zhong Huan knew that Peng Miao was well-intentioned, so he was naturally taught humbly.
Peng Miao saw that Zhong Huan had the ability to make money but was not arrogant, and he could still listen to his own advice, and he also felt that Peng Lei was a good friend. So I happily went to wash the broken plum and eat it.
