Not only him, but also other people who wanted to buy it but had no money to buy it had similar reasons. They would never believe that a half-grown child like this could take out five dollars.
"Don't even mention five dollars. Even if you can spare fifty cents, I'll rip my head off and let you kick it like a ball."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone burst into laughter. The man who spoke did not wait for Zeng Erwa's answer, but turned around and spoke to Tan Yuan.
"Lady, please get rid of this troublemaker! He's wasting your time! If the people in your factory find out, you'll probably be criticized."
He thought he was being kind, but Tan Yuan just smiled at him and said to Secretary Li, "Brother Li, didn't you hear? Give this child five bottles of canned fish from our factory."
Zeng Erwa was deliberately helping her out, so of course she had to cooperate. As for the money, since Zeng Erwa had taken the initiative to ask for it, then she would definitely be able to give it to him.
Tan Yuan has confidence in Zeng Erwa. Zeng Erwa thinks that his sister-in-law is really smart and knows that she and he are on the same side. Zeng Erwa, whose vanity is satisfied, begins to regret that he should have bought two more bottles. If his family really can't finish it, he can give it away as gifts.
A can of canned fish. This gift is not shabby at all, but rather very face-saving.
Secretary Li hesitated to speak. He also felt that it was impossible for a child to take out five dollars so casually. However, he did not say it out loud. As a secretary, he had his own professional ethics. In public, he would never embarrass his leader.
He turned around to get a can of food for Zeng Erwa, but the man who made fun of Zeng Erwa was not very happy. He had said so, but these people still acted like this. They were probably trying to embarrass him. For a man, face is the most important thing when he is out there. If the current situation was reported back to the team, others would probably laugh at him behind his back.
"Don't be ungrateful."
Hearing the indignation in the man's words, Zeng Erwa's eyes rolled and he came up with a brilliant idea.
"Uncle, what you said is not right. I paid for something and this beautiful sister was willing to sell it to me. How can you be so ungrateful? How about we make a bet?"
The middle-aged man looked at Zeng Erwa with a bad look, and felt more and more that this child was unpleasant and deserved to be taught a lesson. He widened his eyes and said, "What kind of bet is this!"
"Aren't you sure I can't come up with the money? If I can come up with five dollars, how about you buy a bottle and take it home?"
Zeng Erwa looked at him provocatively. He had a lot of money with five dollars, but as for the man in front of him, he was not sure.
Sure enough, the man hesitated. He had a total of one yuan and twenty cents on him. His family asked him to go to the market to see if he could exchange some meat to take back for his family. If there was no meat for sale, he would have to return all the money, not even a penny less.
When people reach middle age, they have endless work to do at home every day, but they don’t even have the freedom to distribute more than one dollar. Middle-aged men want to cry just thinking about it.
But it seems that everyone around him is like this. Everyone lives the same life. What's the point of not being able to freely control the family's money? There is not much money at home, and there is not much for them to control. It's boring. Besides, can the women in the family really let them starve?
Being self-consistent is so simple, but being exposed in public is another matter. Middle-aged men feel that their dignity as men needs to be protected. It’s just a dollar!
Besides, this canned fish is so delicious and contains a lot of oil. I believe that if I spend one dollar to take it home, my family will not give me a single cent. Besides, the boy in front of me might just be bluffing, and he will definitely get slapped in the face soon.
Thinking of this, the middle-aged man no longer had the previous entanglement, but instead had a faint expectation: "Okay, then I will make this bet with you, but I have a condition. You can't just buy five bottles, you have to buy ten bottles. If you can take out that much money, I will make a bet with you!"
If someone could offer five bottles, then he might have five or ten yuan on him, or even a big unity note. He really didn't believe that the boy could take it out!
The man made up his mind and stated his conditions. The people around him sighed and opened their mouths in solidarity.
"Forget it, we can't do this. He's just a child and doesn't understand."
Some people tried to persuade them to reconcile and let it go, but more people just wanted to watch the fun. After all, every day they were either working or clearing land and accumulating fertilizer, and their lives were very boring. If the bet really went through, it would be another common topic for people in the surrounding area.
By the way, what was the topic last time? It seemed like there was a fool in Huaiyin Brigade whose genitals were crippled. I heard that he was the one who made the educated youth. I wonder if this is true or not?
"Look, the guy selling things seems to be from Huaiyin Brigade. Those women should also be educated youth, right?"
"That's true. I don't know if it's true or not. I heard that the secretary and the captain of the Huaiyin Brigade both issued a strict order not to let the story get out. If we get caught, all our work points for the year will be deducted!"
As for how they knew about it? There is no such thing as a wall that is impenetrable, not to mention that the Huaiyin Brigade is a sieve, so even such a big thing, there will always be some rumors.
The sound of the wind can be heard, but there are no more details, so everyone can only rely on their imagination.
There are many versions circulating, and everyone thinks that their version is the truth, ranging from a small bet to a romantic affair a while ago.
Zhao Yang's ears were not deaf, so how could she not hear these discussions? She was shaky and leaned back slightly, and was supported by Liang Jin.
"Are you okay? These people don't know the inside story. They are just talking nonsense..."
There was worry, anger, and more shame in Liang Jin's eyes.
He knew whether others were just talking nonsense or not, and how much truth and falsehood there was in their words. He couldn't stand up and refute these people. He could only tell himself that these things happened and Zhao Yang was the victim.
Thinking this in his heart, Liang Jin was very considerate to Zhao Yang. If he really married this person, there was no way he would agree.
Zhao Yang is very clear about this. They grew up together and have been secretly together for several years. This allows her to clearly guess what the person in front of her is thinking. All she can do now is to hold on tightly.
"I'm fine. I just feel a little dizzy after standing for so long. Let's go back after we finish shopping."
It was her first time to attend the commune's big market. Before she came, she heard others say how lively it was and how good the things were at the market. But when she got there, she found that it was just so-so. She might as well go back and do her "real business".
