"Young man, I told you, it's really not a matter of a few hundred dollars. The main thing is that when I saw this thing, I thought of my husband. I don't even know if this thing can be used. Why do you want it? Don't embarrass me.
.”
Then she refused to sell it even if I paid 1,000. It seemed that this thing was really important to her. I was afraid that if I increased the price, people would be suspicious.
I asked her if I could borrow it, but she was stunned again and asked how I could borrow it.
I said I would take the chain saw back for use and I would send it back when it is used up. If you are willing, I will leave a deposit of 2,000 yuan here.
After hearing this, she said suspiciously: "As long as you just use it, the deposit is fine. I see that you have bought fruit from me several times, and you don't seem like a bad person. You must send it back to me after you use it."
I thought to myself that I am really not a bad person, I am a tomb robber.
"No problem, I'll get it back to you as soon as possible. Just keep the deposit." After saying that, I took the money out of my pocket.
I prepared 3,000 yuan in advance to buy this thing. Anyway, it is just for use. It can be borrowed, and it will save money.
"Take it, Sister Xia, you will feel more at ease after taking the deposit."
Only then did she take my money.
"Young man, are you here to pull me away? When will you come to pull me away?"
This thing weighed only a few hundred kilograms. I thought about it and said, "Let's do it tonight. I'll find a small truck to take it away tonight."
"Okay, then you can do it tonight. There's one more thing I want to tell you, young man. This thing hasn't been used for more than two years. I don't know if it can still be used."
"Okay, you don't have to worry about this, I understand."
"Then I'm leaving, Sister Xia. I'll be back in the evening."
Back at the Shapotou bungalow, I told the boss about the incident.
It's okay to say this with your head. Pulling it back here is the best way to hide it from others and no one will notice it. I'm going to go outside to find a small truck now.
....
At about 9 o'clock that night, Dou Yazai and I followed Tou in a small truck to Xinyi Market. The driver was hired by Tou. The chain saw was very heavy, and the driver was also responsible for helping to move it together.
"Turn left into the market, go all the way to the fruit shop and park," I pointed the way to the driver.
"We're here," I got out of the car first and called Dou Sprout to get off, and he sat in the back bucket.
"Is this the thing?" Douyazai saw the chain saw covered by a raincloth.
"Sister Xia, I'm here to pull something. Are you there, Sister Xia?" I saw that the lights were on in the fruit shop, but there was no one at the stall.
"Maybe she won't be here for the time being. It's okay. I made an agreement with her during the day to load the car."
I lifted up the rain and preached: "Each person has a corner. Lift it carefully, this thing is very heavy."
"Damn it, it's really heavy even though it's not big," Dou Sprout tried to move it, but it didn't move.
"one two three."
"Get up." The four of us worked hard to lift the chain saw.
"Slow down, look at your feet, and be careful not to hit your feet."
"It's almost there, we'll be there in five meters."
At this moment, a little girl came out of the fruit shop. She was brushing her teeth with a water glass in one hand and a toothbrush in the other. Her mouth was full of foam.
Seeing the four of us lifting the chain saw, the little girl kicked her eyes and pointed angrily at us with a toothbrush in one hand.
