Chapter 242
When Depo came out of the store, it was time to get off work before noon. It was the peak season in the tourist city, and it was still meal time. There were already many pedestrians on the road, bustling with traffic, and the interference of traffic lights, making it impossible to ride a car. He stopped and walked, it was too much
It was too slow, and I had no choice, so I just took the path. Unexpectedly, I pedaled too hard, and the car began to fail. I don’t know when the chain rubbed against the chain box, "squealing-", "squealing-", pedaling
The more anxious he got, the louder the sound became, which not only disturbed him, but also attracted the looks of people along the way. He couldn't bear the looks psychologically, so he had to come down and pat the chain box with his hands a few times.
Then I stirred the pedals with my hands and tried it. I felt that the sound was quieter, so I got on the bike and started pedaling again. But as I ran, the sound became louder unknowingly. I had to get stronger, so I just started pedaling again.
No longer caring about it, it replaced the ringing, and the people who heard it automatically moved out of the way, which made it easier for him to ride. He rushed left and right, non-stop, and when it was time to eat, he was sweating from exhaustion.
Only then did we arrive at Li Xing’s store.
When I walked in, I saw Li Xing's wife standing behind the counter, with a sullen face and drooped mouth corners. She didn't say a word. She looked uninterested and had a sad look on her face, as if she was sulking. Maybe it was for this reason that the worker
They were busy behind the scenes, and no one bothered her. She was alone in a daze. If Depo hadn't come in, maybe her eyes would have been staring outside like this, without moving for a long time.
Seeing her expression, Depo felt that she must be doing this, but he still had a second thought. He felt that with so much money, he should verify the authenticity again. Considering this, he didn't wait for Li Xing's wife to speak.
First he asked: "Hey, aunt, where is my uncle?"
"Your uncle..." Li Xing's wife was obviously depressed and listless. When she heard the words, she glanced at Depo, but her words were stuck. She coughed lightly, and then repeated: "You
Uncle went out to look for something."
"What are you looking for? Tell me."
"Alas! He went out to deliver goods in the morning and accidentally delivered the wrong bag, taking the things inside with him!" Li Xing's wife said with a sad face.
After hearing this, Depo was generally sure, but he was also worried that what she said was different from what he said, so he changed his mind, made a circle and said: "So this is what happened, then tell me about it."
Let me calculate the details for you and see if I can find them?"
After hearing this, Li Xing's wife didn't believe that Poe had such ability, but she saw that what he said was serious and not joking, so she asked with a puzzled face: "Can you do math?! Don't lie to me, I'm not in that mood.
!”
"Really, I've just learned how to calculate accurately." The more Depo said, the more it seemed true.
Seeing his expression, Li Xing's wife was doubtful, and her interest suddenly increased a lot. She said casually: "If you can figure it out, I'll treat you to whatever you say!"
"Okay! Just say it!" Depo's words became more solemn.
So, Li Xing's wife said: "Your uncle has opened a roasting seed factory and has prepared everything. He is waiting to pull melon seeds tonight. I was afraid that I would be in a hurry and not be able to get the money out, so I prepared it in advance because
Worried that it would be unsafe to carry it with him on the road, he put his wallet into a bundle and hid it inside thirty kilograms of melon seeds. When he was about to tell me after hiding it, someone came from outside and called him; and at this time I was in the warehouse behind.
When he saw that there was no place to put it, he put the bag next to the leg of the invoicing table and went out. At this time, I came out to get something. When I saw this bag of melon seeds, I thought it was shipped, so I took it
He put it in a pile of 30 kilogram bags and asked the guys to load it into the car. When he came back, he forgot to ask about it. He got in the car and went to deliver the goods. He delivered more than 30 bags without knowing how to deliver them.
Who is it? If you hadn’t come back to take the money, you still don’t know! You quickly calculate which house it will be in! I have the receipts here, take a look." She said, took out a book of receipts and handed them over.
.
When Depo heard it, it seemed that it was really hers, and he didn't dare to hide it any more, so he said: "Aunt, since that's the case, I won't hide it from you anymore and make you anxious. You can inform my uncle immediately, just say
I found the money, it’s at my mother-in-law’s place, let him go get it now!”
"Really or not?!" Li Xing's wife was waiting for Depo to do the calculation, and she didn't believe it when he said this.
"Really! The reason why I said that just now was to see if this thing is yours. Now that you say it, it proves that it has not escaped. It is your thing! That's why I asked you to inform me, Uncle Li Xing. What do you think?
Notify him?" Got the ramp.
"Really! Then you have saved the lives of your uncle and me! I have a way to tell him, let's go, let's go now!" The woman said and was about to leave.
When Depo saw her anxious look, he was afraid that she would make another mistake, so he quickly reminded: "Auntie, don't panic, you have to arrange this place before you go out!"
"No! No need! Just call him on the PA line at my door and ask him to call back! You don't have to go far." After saying that, she walked out.
When Depo heard about it, he followed her outside. It turned out that there was a sign for a public phone on the door of the canteen next door, and the phone was placed by the window. Li Xing's wife went over, picked up the phone and dialed the service desk number, and then
He left the message and waited for Li Xing's call. Not long after, the call came and Li Xing's wife answered it. When she heard that it was Li Xing's call, she told Li Xing what Depo had told her.
Li Xing was on the phone, excited and seemed a little unbelievable. He insisted on asking about the situation. When Li Xing's wife heard this, she simply handed the phone to Depo. So Depo told him again. This time
, Li Xing was completely relieved, and he was so excited that there was naturally a burst of thanks on the phone. Depo told him not to worry, and went to his mother-in-law's store to pick it up. Then he hung up the phone and went back to Li Xing's wife.
When we arrived at their store, we chatted for a while, and then with a burst of thanks from Li Xing's wife, we left their store and returned home.
After Li Xing got Depo's letter, he felt relieved. He thought to himself, I really didn't expect that there are people in this world who don't love money. You must know that this is not a small sum of money. If it were someone else, he might not even have the money.
There is no guarantee that he will find it again. It seems that his luck is on the one hand. Sister Xinlan and Depo's family are really good people. He was lucky in his heart. After regaining his composure and feeling that his energy had returned, he drove here.
Come meet Xinlan here at Cinema Square.
Xinlan was eating the meal brought by Xiaocun. When she saw him coming, she asked him to wait. Then she opened the cabinet door, took out the bundled money, handed it to Li Xing with a smile and said: "You are really good, brother.
So much money is not taken seriously at all! Fortunately, it is in our own hands. If it had been in the hands of others, I might not be able to get it back."
"Yes, eldest sister, to be honest, I asked more than ten families in a row, and I was so excited. I thought that there was no hope for the money. If I continue to look for it, it would be nothing more than treating a dead horse as a living horse.
I had this mentality, but I didn’t expect that Depo would send a letter to my home at this time, so I ran over quickly." Li Xing said with a smile, looking at the solid money bundled in his hand, and put it in his hand
After holding it for a moment, he said, "Sister, please tell me how to thank you."
"Thank you for what? If I wanted to thank you, I wouldn't give it to you! You'd better go and do your business quickly. You're still waiting at home."
After Xinlan had done a good deed, it was as if the matter was over and had nothing to do with him anymore. He said it casually and naturally. This touched Li Xing. He knew that it would be meaningless for him to say more, and it would delay his time to purchase goods.
, so he said: "Well, eldest sister, I am also in a hurry to pull melon seeds. I can only keep this in my mind for the time being. I will definitely express my gratitude when I come back!"
"What do you mean? Let's go quickly! We have been together for many years and you still don't know who I am? Just find me and don't say anything! It's important to go back, your wife must still be worried about something!" Xin Lan said.
Hearing what Xin Lan said, Li Xing had no choice but to keep it in mind for the time being. He thanked him again and drove out of the square to go home and do business.
Seeing him leave, Xinlan went to eat again. Not long after eating, Depo came to the store again. Speaking of this, none of the three of them had ever seen such a large bundle of money, and they were talking about it.
Then, Depo suddenly had a strange idea, so he asked his mother-in-law: "Mom, if you had this money, what would you do?"
Xin Lan said: "That's not our money, I don't even think about it."
De Slope: "Mom, I know you don't want to, I was just using an analogy."
The little boy on the side also found this question interesting, so like Depo, he also waited eagerly for his mother's answer.
Xinlan saw that the two children were waiting to hear it, so she thought for a while and said: "If I earn so much money, I will buy a house first, and then return the house I live in now to your uncle. That way
I became completely meditative.”
After Xinlan finished speaking, she suddenly wanted to ask Depo and Xiaocun if they had money. But before she could ask, the sound of motorcycles outside came. She knew it was Li Bo coming, so she gave up the question.
After thinking about it, I went to put away the dishes and chopsticks, handed them to Xiao Cun and put them aside, and then went to get the money brought for them. Unexpectedly, when Xiao Cun saw them coming and knew that they were borrowing money, he joked:
"You are late, but if you are early, my mother can afford to borrow as much as you want!"
When the two of them heard this, they were both a little confused and didn't know what was going on, so Li Bo went to ask Xin Lan: "What's really going on? Mom!"
So Xinlan told him what happened in the morning.
When Li Bo heard this, he knew that it was too late to say anything now, and he couldn't help but said with regret: "Oh, you wish you could have discussed this matter when you encountered it!"
When Xinlan heard what Li Bo said, she felt a little unhappy, so she said something to him. "What are we discussing? It's not our money! I'm telling you, don't have that idea, especially you, Li Bo."
, you drive around all day long, and there are many things like this. If you lose your conscience and lose your life-saving money or work money, it might kill someone."
After hearing this, Li Bo thought to himself that he didn't deserve to be reprimanded, and regretted that he said something he shouldn't have said. He was afraid that his mother-in-law would be angry again, so he hurriedly explained with a smile: "I'm not saying that I shouldn't pay him back.
What I mean is that I am in a hurry for money, and I can take this opportunity to lend them money when I meet him."
Xinlan knew that Li Bo was thick-skinned, but this time it involved a matter of principle. She didn't want the two to be confused. Seeing that Li Bo was not taking it seriously, she said sternly: "Li Bo, don't take it seriously, or else
Sooner or later, you will be the one who suffers. You are short of money and need it urgently, so I got it for you, but if you do this, I won't allow it! Do you hear me?"
"You heard it, Mom, that's what I said. Don't worry, I will definitely remember your words and will never do anything wrong to others." Li Bo heard that his mother had prepared money for him, and he hurriedly responded to the situation.
