“Since it’s so expensive, we don’t want it anymore. Keep it for yourself!”
Qiao Xin’s stubborn temper flared. If it was really worth it, she didn’t mind spending the money.
It was said that unruly people came from poor mountains and bad rivers. The old saying proved true.
They had only picked a few kilograms worth of fruit, but this person actually asked for more than 2,500 yuan. This was daylight robbery!
“It’s fine if you don’t want it. Then put it back as though they were untouched. Put these fruits back and you can leave.”
“What do you mean? It’s already been plucked. How can we put it back?”
“Then there’s nothing i can do. You’re the ones who picked the items. Naturally, you have to pay for them.”
“You!”
“Alright, alright. Beauty, it’s just a small matter. There’s no need to argue so much with him.”
Wang Guanglong walked over and smiled.
“It’s just 2,000 yuan. 1’11 pay for it for you.”
With that, Wang Guanglong took out a stack of hundred-dollar bills in front of Li Chuhan and Qiao Xin. He counted 26 bills and handed them to the man.
“There’s no need to change them extra money,” Wang Guanglong said.
“You people are really too much. Such a beautiful girl came to your place to play and blessed your scenic area. Yet, you quarrelled with her over a few thousand yuan. You’re really too much. You don’t have any gentlemanly manners at all.”
The weighing man chuckled and did not say anything else.
He had taken their money to help them out and accepted their goodwill. Thus, he could endure a few words of criticisms without any issue.
After paying, Wang Guanglong said to Li Chuhan and Qiao Xin,
“The matter has been settled. Take the fruits and leave.”
Qiao Xin was holding a fruit in her hand as she spoke to Wang Guanglong with a smile.
“Thank you, handsome.”
Wang Guanglong was overjoyed when he heard her call him handsome. He understood reality, and his face was the complete opposite of the word handsome.
Now that this young lady actually said this, it was obvious that she was tempted.
Old Jia’s method was really powerful. With a bit more effort, it would not be long before he could take her down.
The two of them sat on the steps by the reservoir. They took off their shoes and placed their feet in the cool water. This, along with the bright and warm sunlight, formed a beautiful scene.
“Brother Lin, where will we be using our nets to catch fish later?” Qiao Xin asked.
“It’s boring to catch fish that way. I’ll take you to some proper fishing.”
“You know how to fish?!”
“When you lead a domestic life, you have to know a little bit of everything,” Lin Yi said.
“Wait here. I’m going to buy some fishing gear. I’ll come back in a bit.”
“Huh?”
There were shops in the fishing village that specialized in selling fishing rods. Although the fishing enthusiasts who came here would bring their own, they might suddenly lack something, such as fishing lines and hooks. Therefore, the business of the small shop was not bad. However, the things were very ordinary and not too high-end.
Lin Yi didn’t overspend. Fishing mostly depended on skill. The fishing rod was just an auxiliary equipment, so he picked the most expensive one and bought some fish bait. He planned to catch a few fish and eat them later.
About half an hour later, Lin Yi returned to Li Chuhan and Qiao Xin.
“Let’s go. I’ve bought the fishing rod. Let’s go fishing.”
“Let’s go.”
The two of them wiped the water off their feet, put on their shoes, and followed Lin Yi to the reservoir’s fishing area.
Fishing here bore an additional charge.
The prices were about 5 to 10 yuan higher than what was sold outside. Qiao Xin had already inquired about this before coming to avoid getting overcharged again.
“So many people!”
There was a row of people sitting neatly at the fishing spot. Qiao Xin counted that there were at least 20 of them.
“We didn’t see so many people when we came here.”
“These people aren’t here to play. They’re here to fish. That’s why you didn’t notice them earlier.”
Lin Yi looked around and found a place with no one around. Then, he started fishing.
“Yo, what a coincidence. You guys are here too.”
Just as Lin Yi and the fish food were talking, they heard someone beside them and realized that it was the middle-aged man who had paid for them earlier.
They did not expect him to follow them here.
“Handsome, you’re here too,” Qiao Xin said with a smile.
Wang Guanglong was a little embarrassed and smiled.
“I came here to fish for something to stew later. I didn’t expect to meet you guys again..”
