Chapter 590: Welcome the God of Wealth and give away the poor man

Facing Brewer Markham's malicious smile, Christabel Hess firmly stopped his unhealthy thoughts: "No."

Brewer Markham seemed a little disappointed, but quickly returned to normal and asked: "Do you want to go see a movie tonight? Mission: Impossible 2?"

Christabel Hess rejected Markham's proposal without hesitation, then threw the bill in his face and said angrily: "No, look at these bills, our lives

We are already stretched thin, but you still want to watch a movie? Have you ever thought that our baby will be born in nine months, and I still have to save money for milk powder, diapers, and tuition..."

In the United States, if you want to receive higher education, you need to pay a high cost. It is not a small expense for many middle-class families, let alone ordinary families.

In order to support their children in college, many families have to open special accounts when their children are still young and then deposit money into them.

However, Brewer Markham obviously did not think so far. Faced with his wife's scolding, he quickly changed the subject and said: "It's Christmas soon, what gift do you want? By the way, we

The TV set at home is already very old, how about we buy a TV set? Don’t you like to watch TV series? "

The TV set at home was bought from a flea market when they first got married. At that time, they had not found a job and were short of money.

Now his income is gradually stabilizing, and the company will pay a bonus before Christmas. So Brewer Markham wants to improve the life at home and make his wife happy.

However, how could Christabel Hess, who couldn't even bear to watch a movie, agree to Brewer Markham's proposal?

Seeing that Brewer Markham was so heartless and didn't consider the problem at all, Christabel Hess became even more annoyed and said: "Buy a TV? Do you know the cheapest TV on the market?"

A machine costs a thousand dollars? How can we have so much money?"

Brewer Markham knew that his wife was still worried about the baby's education.

He also understands the reason. In the United States, it is difficult for people without higher education to get ahead, especially from ordinary families like theirs.

Because Brewer Markham did not go to college, the jobs he can find now are only low-skilled jobs, and his income will never increase.

After three proposals in a row were rejected by his wife, Brewer Markham suddenly felt like a deflated ball, and his whole person became decadent.

A poor and humble couple suffers from everything, which is probably the situation he is facing now.

This can't be called life at all, but just a struggle for survival.

Early the next morning, Brewer Markham took two slices of brown bread from the closet and went to work.

He works in a decoration company. In addition to moving and lifting, his daily job is to paint for others.

After working for two hours, he was already hungry and dirty. But he had to endure it because the company would not provide a relatively cheap lunch until twelve o'clock.

Having just completed the installation of a sheathing, Brewer Markham was sweating profusely from exhaustion and sat on a pile of construction materials to catch his breath.

A co-worker named Jacob Bedford came over and said mysteriously: "Bruer, I have good news to tell you. A new batch of goods has just arrived from Mexico. Do you want to talk to me?"

Go and have a look?”

Brewer Markham thought the co-worker was talking about contraband that made people happy, so he refused without hesitation: "I promised my wife that I would never touch those things, so please don't hurt me."

.”

Jacob Bedford said with a look of disgust: "Do you think we are people who can afford that kind of thing? I can't afford it. I mean, I just got the news and just came from Mexico.

A batch of TV sets have flowed in over there, and I heard the quality is good and the price is very cheap. Didn’t you say before that Christmas was coming soon and you wanted to give Christabel Hess a surprise? "

Brewer Markham was a little shocked: "Mexico still produces televisions? I thought they only sold local specialties."

Jacob Bedford spread his hands and said: "I don't know. Anyway, if it is true, I plan to buy one. I heard that the price is only half or even one-third of the TV set here."

"Brand new?"

"certainly!"

Brewer Markham is very excited to be able to buy a TV set at half the price. After all, there is no better entertainment activity in this era than watching TV. If you can buy a new TV set at a low price for Christmas

If it's a festival, it's definitely a good deal.

Brewer Markham asked: "Where can I buy it?"

"You come with me."

Jacob Bedford took Brewer Markham to a flea market not far from the company.

Seeing the cars flying around on the dirt road in front of him, the dust flying, and the iron doors of the warehouse still rusty, Brewer Markham had some ominous premonitions in his heart. He asked Jacob Belfort: "Are you sure?

This place? Are you sure it’s a brand new TV?”

Jacob Bedford said: "Of course, I guarantee it!"

Then, when he came to the door of the warehouse, a man holding an AK and wearing a beret flashed out of the warehouse and blocked their way.

"stop!"

The more Brewer Markham looked at it, the more he felt that this place did not look like a place selling serious things.

Jacob Bedford also felt a little muttered, but he still mustered up the courage to say: "I heard that there are cheap TV sets for sale here, are they still in stock?"

The man poked the two kraft paper boxes on the ground with the AK in his hand and said: "These are the only two left. Give me a thousand dollars and they will be yours."

Brewer Markham asked hesitantly: "Two units cost one thousand dollars? The price is so cheap. Is there any quality problem?"

The other party obviously didn't understand what "service with a smile" meant. Faced with Brewer Markham's questioning, he said impatiently: "If there is a problem, you can bring it back to me and return it for free, so you can't buy it."

Buy? If not, get out."

With this "promise" of free returns, Jacob Bedford said to Brewer Markham: "See, I told you there was no problem."

Brewer Markham asked, "Can I take it apart and look at it?"

The man refused decisively: "No."

At this moment, another person came over on a motorcycle and asked, "Is there a TV set?"

"Just these two, each costs five hundred dollars."

"Bring me one."

Seeing that the TV was about to be taken away, Jacob Bedford became anxious and quickly took out the money and said: "You are late, we have already bought these two TVs."

Brewer Markham also realized that the situation was serious. If he didn't pay for it, the TV might be gone. He immediately took out five hundred dollars and said, "Yes, these two TVs have been bought by the two of us.

"

Seeing the two people paying the money and taking the TV away, the motorcyclist looked annoyed and whispered: "I should have known to drive faster."

He asked the person in the warehouse: "When will the next batch of goods arrive?"

The man said expressionlessly: "I don't know, I'll find out when I get here."

Isn't this nonsense?

Of course there will be.

The motorcycle rider cursed, then seemed to remember something. He got on the motorcycle and twisted the accelerator, making a beautiful U-turn and raising a cloud of dust. He caught up with Brewer Markham and Jacob Bader.

The two of them directly took out a wad of bills and said loudly: "I will pay you six hundred dollars, which one of you will sell me the TV?"

Brewer Markham almost agreed to make one hundred dollars by changing hands, but thinking of his beloved wife, he gritted his teeth and refused: "I'm sorry, this is my Christmas gift to my wife."

Jacob Bedford also smiled and said: "This is also a Christmas gift for me."

Watching the motorcyclist reluctantly leave, the two of them laughed very happily, as if their ability to buy the last two TVs meant that they would continue to have good luck in the coming year.

In the afternoon, Christabel Hess was in a good mood after just completing a big purchase from the supermarket. When she got home, she quickly noticed that the old TV in the living room had been replaced by a large 34-inch color TV.

Her mind immediately started to buzz, and her whole body felt bad.

Remembering what her husband had said before about buying her a Christmas gift, and then looking at the big color TV in front of her, she felt that she immediately understood what had happened.

Brewer Markham, who was tinkering with the TV installation at this time, looked back and saw Christabel Hess standing behind him, and immediately stood up to take credit: "Honey, you're back? Look..."

Before she finished speaking, she saw Christabel Hess crying with an aggrieved look on her face.

Brewer Markham suddenly became at a loss. He dropped the instruction manual and came over to hug Christabel Hess. He asked softly: "What's wrong? Why are you crying?"

Christabel Hess was full of grievances and looked at him angrily: "You have the nerve to ask? Didn't I say before, don't spend money randomly! Do you not care about me? Do you not care about what's in my belly?

child?"

Two consecutive critical hits completely broke Brewer Markham's defense, and he quickly defended: "Honey, listen to me, I really didn't spend money in vain! I only spent money on this brand-new TV

Five hundred dollars!"

Christabel Hess didn't believe it at all and shouted: "Five hundred dollars? Such a big brand new color TV. Do you think you can deceive me? I just saw it in the supermarket. Such a big color TV costs at least one thousand dollars."

Two hundred dollars! Husband, I know you want to make me happy, but you can’t lie to me! Our family is so poor, what you should consider is how to survive and your children..."

Brewer Markham argued: "Why don't you believe me? It really only cost five hundred dollars!"

Christabel Hess was shocked: "A 34-inch color TV really only costs five hundred dollars? Could it be that what you bought was stolen goods?"

Brewer Markham quickly assured: "It was definitely not stolen."

He remembered the place where he bought the TV and lowered his voice and said, "I think it might have been shipped from Mexico through special channels."

"Mexican country? Mexico also produces TV sets?"
