946: Bargaining Again

Bargaining Again

Zhao Fei looked at Li Gui expectantly. He had never received any gift in his entire life. He wondered what Li Gui wanted to give him. Could it be clothes? Or shoes? Or gloves or something like that.1

Li Gui took out a pager from the vehicle and handed it to Zhao Fei. The young man held the pager for a long time and could not come back to his senses. When he confirmed that it was really a pager, he almost flew up in joy.

He had seen this thing in the shop windows of the stores selling electronic products, but he had never touched the actual thing! It must cost a few thousand dollars! It was too valuable a gift to accept!

"Auntie, this is too expensive a gift. I definitely can't accept it. Keep it for yourself. I have a phone at home! Take it back. You can't give it to me!" Zhao Fei said in a panic.

"Take it! If I say it's for you, then it's yours. This is our… partnership gift. Take it as my red packet to you for the new year! You have to accept it! What if you're not at home when I need to look for you urgently? It's more convenient to have this thing with you. My child has written a manual with instructions. I think you young people definitely learn things quickly, so take it back and study it yourself. I'm leaving! Quick, go sell the goods!" After saying that, Li Gui turned around and walked back.

Zhao Fei held the pager in his hand and had very complex feelings. He really did not know how to express his gratitude to Li Gui and her daughter.

Right now, he was earning more money than before and his life was getting much better. This was all thanks to Li Gui and her family. If not for Li Gui, he would not even be able to earn so much money in a month!

Not only were Li Gui and her family all kind-hearted people, but they were also generous and treated him like one of their own. He had not felt the warmth of a family for a long time. If there was ever a chance, he would definitely want to acknowledge Li Gui as his godmother! He just did not know if Li Gui and her daughter would mind.

This also made him more determined to sell the goods well. Not only did he want to become rich himself, but he also wanted to make more money for Li Gui and her family so that they could all have better lives together!

On the other side, Xia He and Qiao Mei walked slowly along the road and looked around at their surroundings. From time to time, they would greet the neighbors.

"How about we buy a chicken? Ask Auntie to make chicken soup for us tonight. I feel like drinking the chicken soup she makes!" Xia He said.

"No problem. Let's buy the biggest one and we can also buy other types of meat." Qiao Mei wanted to buy everything she saw. She had not been out for a long time and wanted to take this opportunity to shop more!

Soon, Xia He had more and more things in her hands. In the end, she was so tired that she could not even straighten her back. She looked up and saw that Qiao Mei had bought another big watermelon that was actually out of season. Qiao Mei had bought another one because she thought that one was not enough!

"Qiao Mei! Are you trying to kill me! Stop buying! If you buy any more things, we won't be able to go home!" Xia He said with her back hunched and her hands almost reaching her knees.

Qiao Mei looked around and immediately saw a very big three-wheeled vehicle parked next to the vegetable stall in front of them. Qiao Mei shouted enthusiastically at the peddlers, "Do you give rides on this three-wheeled vehicle! I want to get a ride!"

"How much are you offering?" the stall owner asked.

It was the peak timing to sell vegetables. There were many people and business was booming. If Qiao Mei could not give them a reasonable fee, they would not do it.

"Tell me how much you want to charge! I don't know the market price either!" Qiao Mei said humbly.

The stall owner and his wife looked at each other and finally decided to give a lift to Qiao Mei for two dollars. Their three-wheeled vehicle was very big and could seat six adults at one time. It would be easy to send Qiao Mei and Xia He home with all their groceries.

"That's too expensive! How about one dollar!" Qiao Mei bargained.

"We need to make money too. I can only lower it to one dollar and fifty cents. It can't be any lower. My wife will be very busy selling goods by herself! If it's any lower, I can't give you a lift," the stall owner said awkwardly.

Qiao Mei agreed readily without a second thought. Xia He stood rooted to the ground and watched in a daze as Qiao Mei bargained with the stall owner. This girl could buy 2,000 dollars worth of jewelry with a wave of her hand, but she actually wanted to bargain down a two-dollar fare.

What a strange person. Xia He did not expect her to have such a concept when it came to spending money.
