Xu Hongdou didn't have any doubts, she just sat silently on the futon nearby and poured herself a cup of tea.

While Qin Hao and the other two were enjoying the tranquility and comfort, there was the sound of urgent footsteps.

"Brother Hao."

As soon as Qin Hao opened his eyes, he saw that Xie Xiaoxia had entered the small courtyard: "Why do you have time to come to my place to be lazy now? Aren't you afraid of thanking the teacher for teaching you?"

Xie Xiaoxia scratched her head, squatted down, and whispered: "Brother Hao, I have something to ask you to help me with."

"Oh? What's the matter?"

Seeing that Xie Xiaoxia seemed to still have concerns, Qin Hao took him to the kitchen: "Tell me, why is it so mysterious?"

Xie Xiaoxia looked around and found that neither Xu Hongdou nor Ma Ye was paying attention, so she asked in a low voice: "Brother Hao, do you understand stocks?"

"You know a thing or two, do you want to trade in stocks?" Qin Hao took a sip of water and asked casually.

Xie Xiaoxia nodded: "I want to make money. I have learned this craft of wood carving for many years. I just started making short videos and there is no profit. I am an adult and I don't want my mother to work so hard anymore."

Qin Hao frowned slightly: "It's good that you have this filial piety. It's okay to make money, but do you understand the stock market? Do you know how the stock market trades and how to make profits?"

"I heard a friend say it, but I didn't understand it. He said he asked me to follow him directly and I would definitely make money. I'm a little unsure, so I wanted to ask you."

Qin Hao understood as soon as he heard that Xie Xiaoxia must have been targeted by the liar.

"Your friend? Is he from the village or outside?"

Xie Xiaoxia scratched her hair in embarrassment: "I met the person outside when I was doing a live broadcast. No one watched my live broadcast room, so he gave me rewards and often chatted with me."

"In other words, he is a netizen and you have never met him. Just because he tipped you a few dollars, do you trust him so much?"

】

Qin Hao shook his head secretly. He grew up in a simple environment like Yunmiao Village and has a simple mind. As long as others treat him a little better, it will be easy to gain his trust.

When asked by Qin Hao, Xie Xiaoxia was speechless for a moment and couldn't hold back a word for a long time.

"Show me your chat messages."

"oh."

While Qin Hao was looking through the chat history, Xie Xiaoxia kept staring at him nervously.

"You didn't transfer money to him, did you?"

Xie Xiaoxia shook her head quickly: "No, I'm not that stupid, and he didn't ask me to transfer money, he just meant to make money with me."

Qin Hao rolled his eyes: "It's so hard to make money these days. With such a good thing about making money, why should he take care of you, a non-relative, if he doesn't take care of his relatives and friends first?"

Xie Xiaoxia opened her mouth, but was unable to refute.

"Look clearly, this website is obviously a phishing website. If you don't believe it, just search the official websites of several major brokers."

Xie Xiaoxia took Qin Hao's mobile phone and started searching.

"Brother Hao, it seems that this is it, there is no problem, it looks the same."

"Take a closer look and see if there are two more letters after the URL he sent you. This is a standard phishing website. It looks just like the official website of a real brokerage. In fact, once you register and recharge on this website, your money will be lost in the end.

I went directly to the other party’s overseas bank, and the so-called stock transaction information was also forged.”

After Qin Hao finished speaking, Xie Xiaoxia was stunned, looking deeply shocked.

After a while, Xie Xiaoxia stood up and bowed deeply to Qin Hao: "Brother Hao, thank you. If it weren't for you, I would have been fooled."

"Okay, don't take it too seriously. Keep an eye on everything. No matter what others say, you have to find a way to get other information from other channels. You are quite smart. You know how to ask me. There are many

People don't even believe their parents and relatives, but they firmly believe in the words of liars." Qin Hao helped him up and comforted him.

Xie Xiaoxia's old face turned red: "Actually, it's not that I don't believe my grandma and the others, but I always feel that they treat me like a child. My grandma believes in my sister. My sister is a college student, so everything she says is right. I

If you haven’t graduated from junior high school, nothing you say is right.”

"Although you may not be willing to hear it, from a certain perspective, there is nothing wrong with your mother's idea. Your sister has been to a big city and been exposed to society. You have been staying at home. The environment outside is not like

It's just like you were in Mushufang, Teacher Xie stares at you every day and yells at you every day."

"When you enter society, you will find that although most people are polite to you on the surface, they may be plotting against you secretly. They will not treat you with a straight face like Teacher Xie, and they will always be so.

People who are kind and speak softly are often more terrifying. The people who can hurt you are definitely not strangers, but so-called relatives and friends, do you understand?"

Xie Xiaoxia scratched her head: "Brother Hao, although I don't fully understand, I know you are doing it for my own good. Thank you."

"Silly boy, go back quickly, you will be scolded by Teacher Xie again soon." Qin Hao smiled and shook his head.

Xie Xiaoxia ran away in a puff of smoke. Qin Hao returned to the recliner and was about to continue squinting for a while when he heard Xu Hongdou ask.

"Xie Xiaochun's brother was deceived?"

Qin Hao looked back at her and said with a smile, "You have very good ears."

"There's no way, as a service person, you have to keep an eye on all directions and an ear on all directions." Xu Hongdou picked up the tea cup and walked over, pulled up a small chair and sat down.

Qin Hao told Xie Xiaoxia's story, and Xu Hongdou said with emotion: "These scammers are really bad. If they are really deceived, how much psychological impact will it have on a young man who has just grown up?"

"Yes, good people become numb after being hurt too much. What's funny is that we seem to call this growth." Qin Hao shook his head at Xu Hongdou and smiled.

Mr. Ma suddenly opened his eyes: "Xiao Qin's words are well-spoken and worth a drink."

Xu Hongdou smiled and said, "Master Ma, just say you are thirsty."

The smile on Mr. Ma's face was instantly awkward, and he didn't know whether to drink or put down the tea he had picked up.

"Haha~~~" Xu Hongdou and Qin Hao smiled at each other after the prank had succeeded.

"Naughty." Ma Ye pointed at the two of them and scolded them with a smile.

.......

The days in the courtyard give people a very strange feeling. Time seems to be speeding up and slowing down. The whole day seems to have passed without doing anything. However, when I look at the clock occasionally, I find that less than half an hour has passed.

.

In the afternoon, Qin Haoduo cooked a meal for one person, and Xu Hongdou did not show any pretense and officially joined the group for dinner. In order to express his sincerity, he took the initiative to do the grocery shopping tomorrow.

After everyone sat down at the dining table, Damai raised his teacup: "Then we welcome Sister Hongdou to join us."

"Thank you." Xu Hongdou touched Damai and smiled brightly. The apples of her cheeks looked fleshy, making people move their index fingers.

Mr. Ma teased with some emotion: "Damai has been different since you guys came here. In the first month, I saw her twice. I almost couldn't help but knock on the door several times, thinking she was out."

What happened?"

"Haha~~~" Qin Hao and Xu Hongdou were both happy.

Damai was a little embarrassed and lowered her head to cook the rice, so Xu Hongdou picked up the vegetables for her.

After eating and drinking, it was getting dark, so the four of them continued to have a tea party around the fire in the courtyard to pass the time, chatting about Damai's career.

Xu Hongdou was obviously very curious about Damai's career and kept staring at her.

Damai held a cup of tea and took a long sip, and then said quietly: "Actually, I am very confused now. Unknown little authors like us can't make much money, have few readers, and my family doesn't understand.

Sometimes I wonder if I should take the exam to become a teacher, as my parents said..."

Xu Hongdou frowned slightly, and for a moment he didn't know how to comfort Damai.

Qin Hao thought for a while: "Have you ever thought that your efforts are in the wrong direction?"

Damai was stunned for a moment by these words and looked at Qin Hao in confusion.

"Each website has its own unique user group, and male channels and female channels are also different. You have put in hard work, but you are not recognized by readers. Is it possible that you have not found a readership group that suits you?"

After a while, Damai said depressedly: "I have written some successful articles before, but then my relatives found out about it, which caused me to have a big quarrel with my father. After that, I never wrote anything again."

I won’t write that kind of work anymore.”

"What kind of work?" Xu Hongdou's curiosity was suddenly aroused.

But Damai buried his head and refused to say anything. Qin Hao secretly laughed. In fact, the scale of female videos is often larger than that of male videos. You don’t have to guess, it must be the descriptions from the neck down. This kind of thing is really embarrassing. I guess Damai didn’t do it in his hometown.

Less criticism from others.

"You, don't break the casserole and ask the truth." Qin Hao winked at Xu Hongdou.

"Oh~~~" Xu Hongdou suddenly figured it out, and was about to comfort Damai, but Damai said: I have to rush to finish the manuscript, and went upstairs to the room.

Xu Hongdou pointed at herself with her slender fingers: "Did I say the wrong thing?"

"Isn't it obvious? Even if you understand, you don't have to react so much." Qin Hao joked.

"Then... what should we do now?" Xu Hongdou looked up at the lighted room on the second floor, his eyes full of guilt.

"I'll find another opportunity to persuade her later. In fact, Damai just lacks some self-confidence. We can't help her with writing. We should try our best to involve her in life, let her discover her own strengths, and slowly build up her self-confidence." Qin Hao

said.

"Well, that makes sense."

Then the three of them sat for a while and then went back to their rooms.

Xu Hongdou returned to the room, took out the digital camera to take pictures, printed out some photos, and pasted them on the hanging wooden board.

Until she turned to a photo, Xu Hongdou was suddenly stunned.
