Chapter 7: Liars
"There are so many people there, how can you be busy? It's the same with my uncle. Answering with a smile, Lin Zhenniang didn't go over at all, but smiled and whispered to the uncle: "Uncle, ten pennies and one catty!" I'm not like those mothers, who pick the big ones, you can look at the scales for me! ”
The man who sold pears was pestered by Liu Yuan, and he had no choice but to agree to him to help sell pears. But this time, they are all picking the big and small ones, and no one is paying. He had been waiting for a long time, and when he heard Lin Zhenniang say this, he couldn't care about what Liu Yuan said to him before, so he grabbed the scales directly, picked a few big pears and weighed them for Lin Zhenniang.
Liu Yuan saw it clearly, but it was not easy to stop it loudly, so he could only smile and urge the women who were happy in front of him, "Mothers, you will pay if you pick it up, otherwise you will be picked up by others for a while." ”
As soon as he shouted like this, the women hurriedly picked up the big pears in front of them, and even some people were already rushing to pay the money.
It's the same two pennies a piece, naturally everyone wants to pick the big one, everyone has the psychology of picking first and taking advantage of it first, and after a while, it really sold half a car of pears.
At this time, Lin Zhenniang had already paid and walked out of the crowd with pears. She bought it for the first time, the uncle raised the scale high, spared one or two pounds, and eight pears only cost ten yuan, which is not small.
After wiping the pears with a handkerchief, she handed it to Lin Jing first, and then to Lin Dong. Lin Dong didn't take it at first, and saw that she insisted on holding the pear, so he reached out and took it. He lifted the basket in the crook of his arm and motioned for her to put the pear in and he carried it.
This Shandong fresh Yali pear is really delicious, Lin Zhenniang opened her mouth to bite, only to feel that the juice was fleshy and crispy, and the mouth was full of fragrance.
Before I went far, I heard someone behind me complaining: "This big one is picked up, it's not cost-effective!" ”
"Mom is late, but it's okay! Now I sell it by the catty, ten cents a catty, and one catty can weigh eight or nine! Mom thought, this is much cheaper than what I sold just now, why are you taking advantage of it! ”
With a seemingly sincere smile, the young man quickly attracted a large group of people to buy it. Lin Zhenniang looked back, the women who were almost robbing, couldn't help blinking.
How old is that! I also know that it is a woman's psychology that wants to take advantage of some small advantages. Looking at this situation, it will only take a quarter of an hour for this car of pears to be sold out, right?
Although she really admired the young man in her heart, Lin Zhenniang did not stay to watch him sell pears. Nibbling on the sweet pears, leading Lin Jing, who finally showed a little smile, a group of three, walked home along the road from which they came.
The ten-mile long street is still full of prosperity, but Lin Zhenniang just looks at her, and now she doesn't have the heart to enter any shop.
"Dongbo, do you think it's hard to make this money?" muttered in a low voice, in fact, she didn't expect Lin Dong to answer her.
Lin Dong looked back at her, and really didn't answer, but he turned around and walked for a while, but said in a low voice: "Everything, it's difficult at the beginning." ”
Just say that, and never speak again.
Lin Zhenniang looked at his back, thought about it, and suddenly laughed. But no, no matter ancient or modern, this first pot of gold is the most difficult to earn, once it is really done and you make money, it will be much easier. Money makes money, and it's much easier than people making money.
"Dongbo, have you ever read a book? I think you know a lot. Pulling Lin Jing and catching up with two steps, Lin Zhenniang talked with a smile.
Lin Dong was stuffy, and after a while, he said in a low voice: "I didn't study......
In this world, there are many truths that are not read in books, but accumulated from real life. Lin Zhenniang didn't know such a truth, but it was rare for Lin Dong to answer her words, so she naturally had nothing to say.
She asked one after another, but Lin Dong only answered occasionally, just walked with her head bored, and after a while, she left Lin Zhenniang's sister and brother behind.
Lin Zhenniang shook her head, and was about to catch up, but suddenly someone ran quickly behind her, first bumped into Lin Zhenniang, and ran without looking back, coincidentally rubbing Lin Dong's shoulder and running over.
"What kind of person is this......" Lin Zhenniang was complaining, but Lin Jing said "ah".
The child was short-eyed, and at a glance he saw a yellow thing at Lin Dong's feet. After a "Ahh Kim ......"
Hearing Lin Jing's shout, Lin Dong lowered his head, and before he could see what was at his feet clearly, he rushed out of the oblique stab and stepped on it.
Lin Dong frowned, looked at the young man who stepped on the yellow thing, and squatted down again, as if he was cleaning the dust on his boots and holding the thing in his hand, but he was silent.
The young man in a gray shirt with thick eyebrows was very nervous, but his face was shining, as if he was trembling with excitement. Just raised his head and saw Lin Dong looking at him, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.
Laughed dryly, and approached Lin Dong with thick eyebrows, "Uncle, don't scream!" I picked up the gold, but I'm the best person to talk to. Those who see it have a share! As long as you keep quiet, the two of us will split this gold in half...... Shhhh ”
Get it back?!
Lin Zhenniang squinted, thinking about the back of the brocade straight jacket just now, and laughed abruptly.
How familiar is this scene in front of you? In the past life, the public was often warned on TV to beware of scammers.
"Dongbo!" With a shout, she pulled Lin Jing forward and smiled directly: "I think this big brother's proposal is good, little brother, we don't want your gold, just take the silver or copper coins to us." It doesn't matter if it's in half, it's okay if it's less, we're not afraid of losses. ”
I didn't guard against the two small ones that suddenly appeared behind me, squinting with thick eyebrows, and seeing that it was just a little girl who had not yet finished speaking, my nervousness went a little.
Smiling at Lin Zhenniang, he was still talking to Lin Dong, "Uncle, take a step to speak, come here." ”
Lin Dong stared at him, but he didn't move.
The thick eyebrows smiled helplessly, so he had to still stand in place, leaned closer, and lowered his voice: "Uncle can also see that the kid is now destitute and has no long things, where is the money to give to you, uncle?" Don't hide it from the uncle, the boy's family has an eighty-year-old mother, who is sick in bed, and the boy is going to ask the doctor to give up some medicine to treat the old mother. It's pitiful, I actually bumped into such a good thing, although the uncle watched it first, but for the sake of the old mother, the kid had to be cheeky and take advantage of the uncle......"
Lin Dong, whose face was still indifferent, said again: "Just like this little lady said, the kid is not afraid of losses, it doesn't matter if there is less, I look at this ingot of gold, let alone two or two!" ”
"This big brother is so powerful, you don't need to look closely, just hold it in your hand, you know how much gold weighs!" Lin Zhenniang's eyes widened, with a look of admiration.
The thick eyebrows were sneered, and he could only answer with a dry laugh.
Lin Dong glanced at Lin Zhenniang, the corners of his mouth raised silently, but his gaze turned to his thick eyebrows and face, but he was indifferent, "Little brother's family is poor, this gold is given to you by God, you can keep it yourself." The old man was dazzled, he didn't look at anything, and it was not good to share it with the little brother - Xiaolang, little lady, let's go. ”
It seems that without her reminder, Dongbo will not be fooled by this.
Lin Zhenniang pursed the corners of her mouth, squinted at the thick eyebrows that were stunned on the spot, and snickered in her stomach.
Lin Jing was young and knew something ignorantly, but he didn't fully understand it. After taking a few steps, he couldn't help but shake Lin Zhenniang's hand and asked quietly, "Sister, that person, and gold?!" ”
"Liar! It's all a lie! Lin Zhenniang replied neatly, "You can't believe such a pie in the sky." If you want to be cheap, you have to ......"
The voice paused, and her hand that slid to her waist froze.
"Isn't it!" Lowering her head, she looked at the empty purse, almost wanting to curse.
"Dongbo, they stole my purse!" shouted at Lin Dong in front of him, Lin Zhenniang didn't wait for Lin Dong to make a sound, threw Lin Jing off, and turned around and walked back.
This group of liars, it's not enough to deceive people, they are still thieves!
In the distance, she narrowed her eyes when she saw the man leaning over into an old woman carrying a basket of vegetables.
It was this man in a green cloth shirt who took off her purse when he bumped into her.
After walking a few quick steps, she shook her body and blocked the man who didn't look back.
was suddenly blocked by her, and the man in his thirties was also startled, and when he looked up, he saw Lin Zhenniang clearly, and then eased his complexion. The inverted triangle showed a bit of fierce light in his eyes, and he shouted with a straight face: "Which little lady is so ignorant, so wide, she has to block people?" ”
"Uncle, I'm kind! You've dropped something! Lin Zhenniang smiled, her chin was a little, and she motioned for him to look back.
It wasn't far away, but the old woman behind her who was hit by the man was silent, and she was being taken to the side of the road by the thick eyebrows! Obviously, it was already touched by a few words from thick eyebrows.
The inverted triangular eye glanced back, for fear that the old woman would find out where she was, so she leaned to the side before shouting, "I didn't drop anything, you get out of the way quickly!" ”
"No," Lin Zhenniang glared at him, not half afraid, "Uncle, you may not have dropped something, but I dropped something-it was dropped when you hit me just now, big brother, maybe you have a little impression!" ”
"What nonsense are you talking about? What does it have to do with me that you can't drop things? The inverted triangle scolded angrily, but his voice was never high, "I tell you, I work in the yamen, if you ......"
"In the yamen? Then dare to be kind, uncle, will you take me to the yamen? I had a few dollars, but they were stolen by thieves. How can such a thing happen to our Dingtao? As she spoke, she rolled her eyes and muttered, "I see that the mother's clothes are made of good materials, and there may be a few coins in her purse, I have to remind her, don't be stolen......"
