Chapter 1756 It's really hard to stuff money into a pocket.
Just think about it, over a billion, and that's just what they donated, a drop in the ocean of their fortune. How rich must they be?
Is this just ordinary wealth? This is an extremely wealthy person.
Could that woman be the legendary female billionaire?
My goodness, what kind of life does this man have? How can he be so lucky? He found such a beautiful and rich wife. It's just not fair!
He's even living off a woman! How delicious that is! I'm so jealous and envious...
The entire night market has ruined my mood for strolling around tonight.
At this moment, resentment towards the rich reached its peak.
Shen Xi gestured towards the girls running away and nudged Chen Chuan: "Look at you, you poisoned the little girl. Tell me, how can you be so terrible?"
Chen Chuan:......
Do you think that by speaking quickly, others won't notice that you're making false accusations?
"It's you, Madam, who's more frightening. They all ran away the moment you arrived."
"Pah! It was clearly you."
The couple were bickering when the ring toss shop owner walked over and bowed to Shen Xi and his wife, saying, "Mr. Chen, Teacher Shen, thank you."
"You're welcome, you're welcome."
Shen Xi quickly helped him up. "Are you really from Blackwater Village?"
"I'm Er Gou's dad." The boss smiled, revealing his striking yellow teeth.
I don't know why, but many people here have very yellow teeth, and they're also pitted and uneven.
Shen Xi never expected that he was actually Er Gou's father. What a coincidence! Her little Bai is still living at Er Gou's house, getting milk from him.
Er Gou's father continued, "I saw you when you came to our village before, but I left because I had to go to the city to earn money."
Oh, no wonder they don't have much of an impression of Er Gou's dad.
"Mr. Chen, Teacher Shen, thank you so much. I heard from the village chief that you not only built a primary school for the village, but also donated a lot of supplies and are going to repair the roads for us. You are such kind people." Er Gou's father's eyes were red with gratitude: "Our Er Gou will no longer have to walk dozens of miles to go to school. We owe you all this."
"Don't mention it, don't mention it."
"I don't have anything to thank you for. So, Ms. Shen, whatever you like from my stall, I'll give it to you."
Shen Xi glanced at his stall, which was filled with small dolls and the like, looking pitiful, helpless, and forlorn. They didn't look very appealing, and his business was slow.
I estimate I won't earn much money in one night.
Seeing Shen Xi scrutinizing him, Er Gou's father blushed and said, "Teacher Shen, I'm sorry, I have limited resources, really..."
How could Teacher Shen and the others possibly want something as shabby as his?
But this was already his most presentable possession...
"It's okay." Shen Xi smiled and picked up a small keychain: "This one is pretty, I'll take it."
She had heard Er Gou's grandmother talk about her son; her family of more than ten people all depended on Er Gou's father for support.
He goes to the vegetable market to help people carry loads in the morning, works as a bricklayer in the city during the day, and sets up a stall at night. He does three jobs at once, and his back is bent from exhaustion.
When Aunt Ergou talked about her son, her eyes welled up with tears.
But there was nothing he could do. With such a large family, if he took a break, everyone would go hungry.
His family is comprised of elderly people and young children, and his wife is in poor health. The last time he went home, it was because his wife was sick.
He is a very hardworking man, but he is also very sincere and good to his family. Shen Xi doesn't mind that his things are not presentable.
Er Gou's dad nodded happily when he saw her take it, his face turning red.
The people in their village are very honest and kind; if you treat them well, they will treat you even better.
Shen Xi thought that with the discovery of mineral resources in their village and the donations from Chen Chuan and others, the village would definitely develop better and better in the future. Er Gou's father would no longer have to work like three people, so thin that he was just skin and bones, working so hard every day, sacrificing his health for money.
Chen Chuan glanced at his stall and suggested, "Perhaps you could trade it for something else, like cigarettes or blind boxes."
Er Gou's father blushed even more: "That thing... is quite expensive."
Chen Chuan:......
"Who told you to put out real cigarettes? Go buy a model on Pinduoduo. Just put it there for people to see. Who cares if it's real or fake? The more things there are, the more attractive it is."
Besides, no one else can take it away from you.
"Put some cheap and attractive items in front, and you won't feel bad if someone steals them; it'll even make them want to buy them."
"The expensive items in the back are all fake models. You should also prepare some real ones as backup, so that if someone is lucky enough to win one, you can just give it to them."
"Put up another sign: spend a certain amount and get a free gift. That's called 100% chance of winning, so people won't be too disappointed, and it even encourages people to spend more..."
Chen Chuan gave a long lecture, and the honest Er Gou's father listened with his mouth agape, his face turning red with anxiety: "Mr. Chen, could you please speak a little slower? I can't remember it."
He wanted to bang his head a few times; he was so dense, he hadn't remembered a single word!
Chen Chuan:......
"Never mind, do you have a cell phone? Turn on the recording."
"Oh, oh, yes." Er Gou's dad hurriedly pulled out his phone, which was an old, basic model that didn't have many functions besides making calls and sending text messages, but thankfully it could record audio.
"Mr. Chen, could you please say it again? I'll record it and learn it slowly."
Sigh, how can someone who's so honest make money?
Shen Xi was truly worried about him.
I thought Chen Chuan would start spewing his sharp tongue, but to my surprise, he actually waited until Er Gou's dad turned on the recording before slowly repeating what he said to him.
I taught him step by step, explaining in detail all the tips and tricks of setting up a stall.
Although Er Gou's dad felt embarrassed listening to it (it was all trickery), he was an honest man, how could he not blush?
But he also knew what was good for him; Mr. Chen was a good person who didn't mind his stupidity and was willing to teach him, for which he was grateful beyond words.
It took ten minutes to finish teaching.
Er Gou's dad benefited greatly and plans to pack up and leave tonight, then prepare to come back for another big battle tomorrow.
"Alternatively, you could team up with other workers to form a renovation team, take on jobs yourself, and visit other new residential areas more often."
How long will it take for people to come looking for us?
If someone comes along and gets robbed of their life, you might as well go out and find someone yourself.
Er Gou's father's face turned red again: "We wanted to come at first, but we couldn't find any work, and we also needed to get the necessary qualifications..."
Chen Chuan really wanted to sigh. He felt that someone with his personality was better suited to be a subordinate, doing whatever he was told without having to think for himself.
Sometimes you slip money into someone's bag, only to find the opening has been sewn shut...
Forget it, he should just set up this stall first. At least if Er Gou's dad really does what he's taught, this stall will be enough for him to support his whole family.
They've said everything they needed to say, and they're planning to leave.
Er Gou's father was extremely grateful and even offered to treat them to a late-night snack as a way of repaying them.
