Chapter 110: Borrowing Money
Qingke Phosphorus District, No. 18 Real YĆ n Market.
Ji Xiaoyan patted her stomach twice with a satisfied face, smiled happily at Yu Qisi who was walking next to her, and then looked at the bags of food they had picked out from the taste they had tasted along the way, blinked and asked, "Qisi, is it heavy?"
"No, Miss Xiaoyan, this thing is actually not heavy at all. When Yu Qisi heard Ji Xiaoyan's words, his heart immediately warmed, and then he smiled and said: "If this weight is compared with when we trained before, it is the difference between heaven and earth....... Miss Xiaoyan, there are snacks over there, should we go over and take a look?"
"Can you still eat?" Ji Xiaoyan looked at Yu Qisi with a smile and asked.
Although there are very few foods produced naturally in the federation now, and they are very expensive, there are still some of them. At least Ji Xiaoyan has seen several things in this market, but the price is very prohibitive....... and other synthetic and indoor cultivated foods are relatively cheap, and there are many types of that kind of food, and there are many things that Ji Xiaoyan has never seen or eaten before!
"My appetite is still quite large!" Yu Qisi immediately blushed when he heard Ji Xiaoyan's words, and then said: "However, if Miss Xiaoyan, you can't eat, let's go back to the hotel now, right? It's still free!" After speaking, Yu Qisi winked at Ji Xiaoyan mischievously.
"Keep shopping!!" Ji Xiaoyan sniffed the aroma of food in the air. Then he said, "Actually, I've only eaten half full, so let's just go back when we're full!" I'm just worried that it's troublesome for you to carry so many things! But since you said there is no problem, then let's go inside...... By the way, you have to remember to remind me of the meaning of buying some food for the fallen leaves, otherwise he will know that we didn't call him when we went out, and he didn't bring him food when he went back. You've been his butler, and he's going to eat whatever he likes. You should know that, right?"
"En!" Yu Qisi nodded, and then said with a smile: "If you encounter it, I will definitely remind you!"
Will Young Master Yu Jiangxia eat anything from outside casually? The answer is obviously no! Ordinary people's children, imported things, they all need to be carefully checked. The entrance will only be made if it is safe. Even if it's eating outside. They don't usually go to a store they don't trust, let alone something from a small market like this.
Originally, Yu Qisi did not advocate taking Ji Xiaoyan to taste food everywhere in the market, but after thinking about it, Ji Xiaoyan is not famous now, and it is impossible for anyone to deliberately come here to harm her or something, if she doesn't take this opportunity to try this atmosphere now, she will definitely never have a chance again in the future.......
Especially when one day, after Ji Xiaoyan becomes a big celebrity in the game, her real life will be even more difficult!
"Then let's go!" Ji Xiaoyan heard Yu Qisi's words. immediately smiled, then looked around, chose a small stall that looked lively, and pulled Yu Qisi to go over there. "It's bustling over there, shall we go over and have a look?"
"En!" Yu Qisi tightened the things he was holding in his hand, and followed Ji Xiaoyan with a smile.
The stall Ji Xiaoyan and the others chose was a food stall sandwiched between a bunch of haberdashery stalls. The long aisle from east to west is lined with people, some who want to make their way through the crowd to the other side, others who are looking at the goods at the nearby department store stalls, and of course, most of them are customers who want to eat.
Ji Xiaoyan glanced at the crowd curiously, and found that he had no way to squeeze in at all, so he had to turn his head to Yu Qisi with some disappointment and said, "Let's wait in line to go in!"
Yu Qisi smiled silently and nodded.
At this moment, Ji Xiaoyan suddenly saw a middle-aged woman squeezed out of the crowd next to her, she was standing next to a department store stall where she was standing with a stack of brand-new federal coins in her hand, pointing to a child in front of the stall who was trying on a hat, looking at the stall owner and asking, "Is there a hat that such a child wears?"
"Yes!" the stall owner replied with a smile when he heard that there was business.
"How much?" When the middle-aged woman heard this, she immediately smiled happily, and then shouted to the side twice: "Mom, Mom, bring the child over quickly, there is goods here." ā
The stall owner smiled and waited until the middle-aged woman greeted her relatives, and then continued: "This guest, this kind of hat is not expensive, you can buy one for only five hundred and sixty federal coins, this is made of the fur of a mutant flying squirrel in the outer district, and it used to be at least more than a thousand federal coins a top, but now because we have a celebration in the Qingke Phosphorus District, the federal government subsidizes us, so we are discounted at half price!" $Lewd Novel/class12/1.html
When the middle-aged woman heard this, she immediately frowned hesitantly, glanced at a child and an old man who had squeezed to her side at the moment, and after thinking about it, she looked at the old man and asked, "Mom, what do you think?"
When the old man heard the price, he immediately shook his head and said, "Five hundred and sixty federal coins are so expensive, don't buy them." ā
The middle-aged woman hesitated, and the child who was being held by the old man next to her suddenly said a little aggrieved when she heard the old man's words: "Grandma, I want it, I want it." The middle-aged woman looked at the child distressedly, then thought for a while, and said to the old man: "Mom, why don't you buy one for the child! Five hundred and sixty federal coins, let's just buy less things for a while! Go back, go back and wait for the game to start, and then I will enter the game and sell those things on my body a little to get rich!"
The old man thought for a moment, did not nod, but looked at the middle-aged woman and said, "How much can you sell those things......?"
The middle-aged woman thought for a moment, then stood next to her with a frown, glancing at the stall owner who was greeting other customers. He whispered to the old man: "Otherwise, otherwise I will go back and sell the thing in my bag! As long as we find a suitable buyer, that thing will definitely be sold for a large price, and then our family will not have to worry about the future life, and we can also give Xiaoyu better living conditions......
When the old man heard this, he immediately looked around vigilantly, but he didn't notice that Ji Xiaoyan and the two of them happened to hear their conversation, and only after half a sound did he shake his head and said sharply to the middle-aged woman: "Are you crazy? What is that?" Can you sell it lightly? If you don't do it, it will lead to death! Didn't you say everything? That thing has appeared before. In the end, no one knows whether the seller got the money or not, but the thing was in the hands of someone, but who knows what kind of means it is? We are all ordinary people. I can't afford to offend those people who have a big family, if that thing really shows up, it will be taken away, but if someone snatches it away, it will hurt us...... That's really more than worth the loss!"
"But, Mom, today is Xiaoyu's tenth birthday! He likes such a thing...... middle-aged woman looked at the little hand next to her who was holding her clothes tightly, and then looked at the old man and said, "Actually, as long as we find a good buyer......
"Qing, don't say it!" When the old man heard this, he immediately said, "Can you know those powerful families? Any group of people who come out can wipe out our family ....... Qing, I know that after Heng'er leaves, the burden of the family will fall on you, and the old woman has no ability to live. But no matter how hard and tired I am, I just hope that our family of three can live in peace......"
"Mom!" the middle-aged woman burst into tears when she heard this, "I don't think you're dragging me down..."
The old man wiped the corners of his eyes, glanced at the middle-aged woman with relief, then put on a smile again, and said to the child who was looking at the middle-aged woman with blank eyes: "Xiaoyu, grandma and mother don't have enough money with them today, why don't we wait a few days to buy hats?"
"Don't, don't!" When the child heard this, he immediately shook his head and said with a crying voice: "Mom said that today is my birthday and will give me a gift!"
"But my mother didn't have enough money with her today!" the old man continued to coax, and then looked at his grandson and said, "We'll buy it in a few days, Xiaoyu should be obedient, if she is obedient, grandma will ask her mother to buy more delicious food for Xiaoyu, okay? Didn't Xiaoyu say a few days ago that she wanted to eat the flowing rainbow candy? Grandma will take Xiaoyu to buy it together, okay?"
"No, no! I want a hat, I want a flying squirrel hat!" the boy burst into tears. Seeing this, many people who bought things next to them immediately moved to the side, this kind of drama of children competing to buy something, can be seen everywhere in the market, it is not unusual at all, if you don't stay away, turn back and be splashed on yourself by the child, you are not good at attacking!
The middle-aged woman smiled awkwardly at the people around her, and quickly went to hug the child and continued to coax.
Ji Xiaoyan looked at the child crying heartbroken, and the old man also had a bitter smile on his face, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. In her memory, she also did such a thing when she was a child, crying and clamoring to buy something that she liked, but it was useless, what were the expressions of her parents at that time? Presumably the same as the mother in front of her......
Thinking of this, Ji Xiaoyan looked at the crowd still lined up in front of the food stall in front of him, said a word to Yu Qisi, and then turned out six hundred federal coins, walked to the middle-aged woman's side and said, "Eldest sister, if you don't mind, I'll lend you this money!
She had the idea of giving the money directly to the middle-aged woman, or directly buying the flying squirrel hat and giving it to the child, but looking back, if she encountered such a thing herself, and there was something on her body that was said to "lead to death", it was hard to guarantee that she would not think much about it! How could there be so many people in the world who were willing to give things to themselves for nothing?!
Therefore, after thinking about it, Ji Xiaoyan still felt that it was better to lend money to others! If they didn't pay it back, it would be okay, it would be considered to be doing their best to accumulate blessings for themselves......
Sure enough, as soon as the middle-aged woman and the old man heard Ji Xiaoyan's words, they immediately looked at her vigilantly, and then shook their heads and said, "No, no need!"
As she spoke, the middle-aged woman immediately picked up the child and prepared to leave.
"Mom, I want a hat, I want a flying squirrel hat...... As soon as the boy heard his mother's words, he immediately twisted his body and struggled and shouted: "Mom, you promised to buy me a flying squirrel hat, you promised! Dad also said that when I am ten years old, he will buy me a flying squirrel hat......
When the middle-aged woman heard this, her eyes suddenly showed a trace of sadness, and she looked at the struggling child in her arms with some confusion.
"Xiao Yu ......." The old man's face sank, and he looked at the child and said, "You have to listen to your mother!"
"I want a hat... I want a hat!" the boy clearly didn't buy it, and shouted as he struggled.
"That, eldest sister, why don't you lend me this money to buy a hat for the child, I don't have any malicious intent! I just think you remind me of how I was when I was a child and my parents were wayward......" Ji Xiaoyan looked at the middle-aged woman with a sincere face and said.
"No ......" The middle-aged woman had just refused, and was immediately interrupted by the child who was struggling in her arms.
"Eldest sister, I really don't have any malice!" Ji Xiaoyan continued.
The old man looked at the heartbroken child crying in the arms of the middle-aged woman with some distress, and then looked at Ji Xiaoyan seriously, and after thinking for a while, he asked in a deep voice: "Little girl, how do you need us to repay the money you lent us?"
"Ahh
"Do you need us to write you an IOU?" the old man asked again.
"No, no need!" Ji Xiaoyan shook his head, seeing that the old man's gaze suddenly changed, he hurriedly said, "If you insist, I don't care!"
She had no idea of getting the family to pay her back anyway.
The old man thought for a while, looked at the child, and then said to Ji Xiaoyan: "Since you are kind, then we will lend you money." It's just that we don't know when we'll be able to pay you back!"
"Well, it's okay, when you have enough money, give it back to me!" Ji Xiaoyan immediately smiled when he heard this, and then handed the federal currency in his hand to the old man.
"Then, then when we buy the hat, I'll write you another IOU, please wait, we'll be right away!" The middle-aged woman smiled at Ji Xiaoyan with some gratitude, and then put the child in her arms back on the ground, and immediately went to the department store stall and beckoned the stall owner to take the goods.
