I smiled and pushed the menu into the driver's hand again.
The driver must have been happy for a long time.
The two of us didn't eat much, a morning tea meal cost nearly six to seven hundred yuan, but it was within my acceptable range.
"Mr. Chang, thank you very much. How about we find a place to have some tea? It's my invitation to you!"
No matter what the driver said, he wanted me to go to a teahouse with him to have tea.
"It just so happens that I can take a good rest."
It’s been a long time since I’ve spent time with friends like this, so I thought about it and agreed.
While drinking tea, the driver suddenly complained about his salary, saying it was not enough to support his family and so on.
"In an industry like yours, it's naturally hard work, but I still have to think of a way to do it in the future. Are there any preparations for a side job?"
In my industry, if you become more capable, you will have a steady stream of customers and business.
I could only say a few symbolic words to comfort the driver.
But at this time, the driver told me with a thief look, in fact, sometimes you can make a lot of money in a job like theirs.
"You mean sometimes customers leave money on the car or something?"
I asked subconsciously, but I was also a little curious. I guess not many people go out with cash nowadays.
If it had been a few years earlier, this would naturally be considered a small amount of extra money.
"No, Mr. Bu Chang, you don't know. Sometimes, we will open a long picture, and then when we come back, we will always stop by the roadside to relieve ourselves. Sometimes you will find that you can really pick up those kinds of money.
What's inside the cigarette box, what's inside the handkerchief?"
After he finished speaking, the driver also looked through the chat history on his mobile phone for me.
"Two days ago, I seemed to be sending a guest back, and then I saw a very strange cigarette box on the bridge. I am also more concerned about these details, so I came down to take a look, and it turned out that it was stuffed inside.
3,000 yuan.”
I took a quick look, and the record he showed me was that he was talking to his friends about the 3,000 yuan he picked up today.
But……
As an expert in this field, I began to feel a little panicked.
"Do you know that this money is actually not accessible at all?"
"Although it is unethical to say that he picked up the money, he has lost it after all. If I don't pick it up, someone else will pick it up, right?"
The driver who was drinking tea didn't notice the strange look in my eyes and just kept talking to himself.
"But I am also a bit lavish with money. I spent half of the 3,000 yuan not long after I got it back. In the end, I gave the money to my wife."
Even more ruined.
If you just picked up a dead man's money and passed it on to him to spend it all, there would naturally be no big problem. At most, you would be unlucky for a while.
But he actually kept the money at home. Isn't this deliberately seeking bad luck for the family?
"I know some things. Maybe it's unlucky to say it at this time, but you also know that I'm in this business, so I still have to remind you of some things."
Thinking that the driver was not a bad person, I decided to remind him to give him a chance to repent.
"Ouch, Mr. Chang, why are you talking so scary? What's going on?
When the driver heard what I said, he became a little nervous.
"Although it is true that people in this era lose money, who would lose so much money for no reason, and who would carry so much cash with them?"
I sighed and explained the matter in detail, and also told the driver the stakes involved.
When the driver heard this, he was so frightened that his whole body began to tremble.
I could feel the tears welling up in this uncle's eyes.
"Then what should I do? Mr. Chang, I really don't know about this. Besides, I really didn't mean it..."
"This has nothing to do with whether you did it intentionally or not. It's just like the most common things like ghosts hitting the bed and ghosts pressing the bed are random, and those dead people's money is to buy your life."
I let out a long sigh. Now that this has happened, I can only give the money back.
However, returning the money may not necessarily be a solution, and it also depends on the attitude of the other party.
"It's not okay to buy my life. It's worth thousands of dollars. I don't want these thousands of dollars at the most. I can give it to him and put it back where it was. Isn't it okay?"
The driver's tone became more and more panicked, so I quickly grabbed him and patted his hand.
"Calm down first. Tell me where you picked it up. Tell me the specific situation. Is this difficult or easy? It depends on how you handle it."
I really didn't expect that this driver had such a big deal. If the two of them hadn't been sitting here chatting today, I probably wouldn't have even known that something happened to this guy.
Then the driver told me the general direction and told me the specific situation.
I thought about it and quickly got up and asked him to go back with me.
"It's not too difficult. When you go back, use the money to put it back into a cigarette case. Then you can put it wherever you picked it up, and burn some paper money next to it to apologize. You have to be sincere.
How much writing paper do you need, the more the better!”
When I got home, I wrote two talismans to him.
"You and I are destined to be together. Well, even if I do meritorious deeds, I won't charge you any money. But you must do what I say, apologize, and don't covet the money again in the future."
Seeing how helpful I was, the driver solemnly accepted the two blessings and knelt on the ground.
This move shocked me, and I quickly helped him up.
"Hey, no, no, no, it doesn't have to be like this. I'm just doing a favor. Just go back and do what I say."
As I spoke, I helped him up, and then gave him various instructions before letting him leave.
After everything was done, I was a little tired, so I simply took a shower and then lay down to rest.
But then I suddenly saw a message from Xuan Ye, and I quickly told her the outcome of the incident.
Xuan Ye praised me on the other end of the phone, which made me feel a little embarrassed.
"Okay, it's almost time. I have to go to bed quickly. If you have a chance, just treat me to a meal."
I smiled and said to Xuan Ye, and just as I was about to hang up the phone, Xuan Ye shouted loudly on the other end of the phone.
"Look at what you said is so useless. I'll take you to a tavern later, which will be interesting!"
