"What? Selling it to you?" Xu Huihong thought she heard wrongly.
Bai Lu couldn't help being stunned for a moment, frowned slightly, took Jinbao's little hand, whispered in her ear: "Jinbao, aren't we here to borrow bicycles? Why did we suddenly come to buy bicycles?
?”
"Mom, I think our family should also have a bicycle. It will be more convenient to go to many places!"
The little head tilted, and Jinbao continued: "When dad comes back, he will definitely need it when he has to go out for meetings or meet people. Mom, you will also need it when buying groceries. My brothers can also learn to ride bicycles. You
What do you say?"
"Indeed, having a bicycle is a lot more convenient..."
Bai Lu murmured, nodded, and said in a mosquito-like voice: "Okay, it would be best if I could buy it, but I don't know if they are willing to sell it."
"She has to sell even if she doesn't want to sell today." The little girl said in a strong tone.
Seeing the mother and daughter whispering for a long time, Xu Huihong said impatiently: "I want to buy my bicycle, but there is no way! I tell you, I will never sell that bicycle to you, don't even think about it!"
"Yeah, we don't sell bicycles," Zhao Wenguo, who had been hiding in the corner without saying a word, finally spoke, "It's so difficult to get bicycle tickets. Huihong's mother found a lot of connections to get them. I don't know how much it costs.
How many favors have been given.
If she finds out that we sold our bicycles, my husband’s wife will scold me to death.”
Jin Bao's big watery eyes blinked twice and said to Lin Yulan: "Aunt Lin, it's useless for us to continue arguing with them like this. Why not, let's go to the Public Security Bureau to sue them for fraud?"
Lin Yulan's eyes lit up, "Yes! Sue them for fraud and let them go to jail!"
"One hundred and fifty yuan is a big sum," Xu Damei said in a frightened voice, "I might be shot."
When Zhao Wenguo heard this, his face turned pale with fright, "What? Shoot, shoot..."
Xu Huihong said hurriedly: "How is it possible? Don't listen to Xu Damei's nonsense. What kind of fraud are we doing? It's just borrowing money. Who doesn't occasionally borrow money from others when they are in trouble?"
"I said before that I had no money, but now someone has spent money to buy your bicycle, and you are still unwilling to sell it. You are dragging your feet and not paying us back. Isn't it a fraud?"
"That's right," the neighbors said, "Secretary Zhao, what do you two couples mean? I asked you for money, saying that your family doesn't have a penny. Now Jinbao buys a bicycle from you, but you don't want to sell it.
Pay us back, right?"
Xu Damei sneered, "I have seen through Xu Huihong anyway. She just wants to drag us all down like this, and then wait until we forget about it so that she can waste the 150 yuan. This is not a scammer, but
What?"
"Yes, yes, this is fraud, we have to sue them!"
"We can't let people like this succeed!"
The crowd became more and more angry and shouted loudly.
Many people upstairs and downstairs heard this and gathered around the door of Zhao's house. They learned that Xu Huihong was borrowing money from everywhere. The bicycle she rode to buy groceries every day was bought with everyone's money. She didn't pay a penny herself, and she is still living on it.
Pay back the money.
"There is such a person...it's so abominable!" Zhang Hongmei didn't expect Xu Huihong to be so thick-skinned.
Jinbao turned around and saw her, hurriedly squeezed out of the crowd, trotted forward to meet her, and called kindly, "Godmother!"
"Jinbao? Oh, my daughter has grown taller. Look at her little face. She is more beautiful and juicy. Let her godmother take a good look..."
Zhang Hongmei picked up the little girl and looked at it happily for a while, as if something suddenly occurred to her, she said doubtfully: "Hey, it's strange. I heard from Xiao Si that you and your mother went to find Xiao Wu. Why didn't you go find someone and stay here?"
?”
Jin Bao sighed and briefly explained the reason.
"What? Xiao Wu went to find you along the railway tracks? Oops, that kid..."
Zhang Hongmei also helped search for her all day yesterday. She couldn't walk this afternoon and came back early.
"I wonder why I can't see anyone else anywhere! Hey, that kid Xiao Wu usually doesn't say anything. He doesn't say anything like Xiao Si. In fact, he must be thinking of you very much, so he wants to go there whenever he feels wronged.
See, you guys are really stupid kids."
At this point, she put down the Jinbao and said, "Don't worry, godmother, I will definitely help you get the bicycle."
After saying these words, Zhang Hongmei squeezed into the front of the crowd and said loudly: "Everyone, listen to me!
I borrowed money from Xu Huihong twice! The first time was 1.5 yuan, the second time was 2 yuan, a total of 3.5 yuan. She said she would pay me back as soon as she got the money, no more than three months, but now it’s been two years, don’t say
It was three and a half yuan, and there was not even a penny to be seen.
Who is this kind of person? He is a complete liar! We do not need to show sympathy for this kind of scum.
Unless the money is paid back today, I suggest that everyone write a joint letter to expose her behavior, let this kind of person go to the bullpen to learn positive and progressive ideas, reform his bad character, and let her know that we are not
So deceitful."
She spoke impassionedly, and in an instant, everyone's emotions were aroused.
"Yes! Let Zhao Wenguo and Xu Huihong pick out the manure!"
When Xu Huihong heard Xu Damei say she was going to sue her, she wasn't scared. Now when she heard Zhang Hongmei said she was going to write a joint letter to expose herself, she was so scared that her calves began to tremble.
The image of herself looking unkempt and picking up excrement appeared in her mind.
"Hui Hong, I think we should sell the bicycle, right?" Zhao Wenguo was also frightened.
His daughter cried so much before that her voice was hoarse and she couldn't cry anymore. His son Zhao Xiaming started crying.
"Mom," Zhao Xiaming pulled his mother's sleeve, "If you and your father go to pick out dung, what will my sister and I do? Will we become beggars picking up rags on the street? I don't want to become a beggar.
Wuwuwu..."
Xu Huihong clenched her fists tightly, and her teeth were almost broken.
In the end, she had to back down after weighing it again and again, "I sold the bike, okay? I will pay you back the money today. What kind of joint letter is it? Is it necessary to make it so serious? I didn't mean not to pay you back.
Money."
After speaking to everyone, she looked at Bai Lu, her tone full of resentment, and quoted the price: "My bicycle is worth one hundred and fifty yuan, and the bicycle ticket is worth at least one hundred yuan, which adds up to two hundred and fifty yuan."
Lin Yulan was so angry that she yelled, "What? Two hundred and fifty yuan? Are you trying to steal money?"
"You go to the black market and ask if it costs 100 yuan to get a bicycle ticket. Do you think it is so easy to get this ticket? Only the best employees of various government agencies and institutions can receive a bicycle purchase coupon every year...
"
Before Xu Huihong could say anything else, Jinbao interrupted: "Aunt Xu, reselling tickets is illegal, and we don't do anything illegal. Besides, we don't plan to buy bicycle tickets with you. What I want to buy is a bicycle!"
Although your bicycle is second-hand and has been ridden by you for two years, so it is definitely not worth the price of 150 yuan, but my mother will still buy it from you at the original price, and you will pay the money back after you receive it.
Give it to everyone, so that you are well and I am well, everyone is well."
