For many white-collar workers, the weekend was a time to sleep in, and Lu Hui was no exception. He would usually wake up before seven o'clock every day, but today, he still hadn't woken up until almost ten o'clock, until his phone rang.
"Hello, who is this?" Lu Hui didn't hesitate and immediately answered the call. He usually didn't dare to turn off his phone even when he slept at night, afraid that the company would look for him at the last minute.
"Is this Mr. Lu Hui?" A rather moving voice came from the phone.
"That's me. May I ask who you are?" Lu Hui really wanted to find the owner of this voice from his memories, but no matter how hard he searched his brain, he still couldn't find it. In the end, he confirmed that he didn't know this person.
"My name is Ning Jie. Yesterday, my husband borrowed ten dollars from you. He said he would return you one hundred thousand. If it's convenient for Mr. Lu, please tell me your address. We'll go over and return the money to you right now." That moving voice quickly explained, but Lu Hui was a little confused.
"Ah?" "What did you say?" Lu Hui wasn't very clear-headed to begin with, but after hearing this, he became even more confused. Was he still dreaming?
After the person on the other end of the phone repeated what he had just said, Lu Hui finally heard it clearly. He also finally remembered the matter of the ten dollars, and remembered the strange guy he met yesterday morning, the one who looked like he was sick but was still alive and kicking, and even beat up the emergency doctor. That guy didn't look like a beggar, but he was penniless and asked him to borrow four dollars, saying that he would return forty thousand, but in the end, he gave that guy ten dollars, and that guy also said that he would return one hundred thousand.
"Um, Miss Ning, you really don't need to return this money. It's only ten dollars, it's just a small matter." Thinking of this, Lu Hui quickly said.
At that time, he was in a hurry to go to work, and after he went to work, he had basically forgotten about this matter. However, he never expected that someone would call him now, and really want to return the money, and a hundred thousand at that!
"Mr. Lu, my husband is a man of his word. If he says he will return you one hundred thousand, then he will return you one hundred thousand, so please tell me your address. We'll come over later to return the money." Ning Jie insisted on returning the money.
"This, Miss Ning, even if you really want to return the money, you can only return ten yuan at most. How could I dare to ask you for one hundred thousand …" Lu Hui said in a daze. However, before he could finish, he was interrupted again.
"Mr. Lu, I've said it before, my husband keeps his word, he doesn't care about this little bit of money, so we will give you back 100,000 yuan, not a single cent less. Please tell us your exact address so that we can go find you." Ning Jie, who was on the other end of the phone, seemed to be a little impatient.
"Well, alright then. I live in a village in the city near West Gang. You can call me when you arrive." Lu Hui felt a little dizzy, but in the end, he still told the other party the address. He thought that the other party might just be saying it and wouldn't really come here to look for him.
After the other party hung up, Lu Hui was still in a daze for a long time until a puzzled voice came from the side, "Lu Hui, who called? What Miss Ning? What tens of thousands? What did you talk to her about? "
The one who spoke was naturally Lu Hui's live-in girlfriend, Su Qin. In the central city where Lu Hui had worked before, Su Qin's family background was actually not bad, her father was a civil servant, although not a high official, her family background was not bad, and Su Qin was also quite beautiful, so in that place, Su Qin also had a lot of pursuers. In terms of conditions, there were some people who were better than Lu Hui, but in the end, Su Qin still chose Lu Hui, and left her hometown with Lu Hui to work hard in this coastal city. Because of this, Lu Hui had always felt that he had let his girlfriend down, and he had always hoped to give his girlfriend a good life in this city.
However, after coming to this place, Su Qin also started to feel a little worried about him, because after coming here, Su Qin realized that there were too many beautiful girls in Wang Hong Kong. This was also normal, in a country where there were more men than women, there were more women in Wang Hong Kong than there were men. It was not strange that there were more beauties here.
Su Qin's conditions in her hometown were not bad, but here, it was ordinary. Her salary was far inferior to Lu Hui's, and adding on the fact that she was far away from her parents, she always lacked a sense of security, so she was even more nervous about Lu Hui. When she heard Miss Ning on the phone, she immediately became vigilant.
Lu Hui actually knew what his girlfriend was thinking, so he didn't hide anything from her. He then told Su Qin about this strange matter from beginning to end.
"Is that true or not?" Su Qin was a little suspicious, "There's such a thing?"
"I don't know either. I originally said that I didn't need to return the money, it was only 10 yuan anyway, but she insisted on returning it. She even said that her husband kept his word, so I had no choice. Let's see if they really came later." Lu Hui was a little helpless, "Su Qin, don't take this too seriously, maybe it's just a joke."
"If we really give you a hundred thousand, then we'll be lucky." Su Qin suddenly became a little excited, "We have a hundred thousand savings now, plus this one hundred thousand, then I'll go borrow one hundred thousand from my parents. We'll buy a smaller house here, the total price is around one million, and three hundred thousand can be used as a down payment!"
"This, Su Qin, if they really want to return me a hundred thousand, do you think I should accept it?" Lu Hui was still conflicted. He always felt that it was a bit inappropriate to borrow ten dollars from someone else and ask them to exchange it for a hundred thousand.
"Accept, why not? In any case, they don't care about a hundred thousand dollars. If you don't accept it, they won't be happy! "Su Qin said without hesitation.
Lu Hui thought about it and realized that it was true. He had just said that there was no need to return it, but the woman on the phone seemed to be a little unhappy.
Thus, Lu Hui hardened his heart, gritted his teeth, and decided that if someone really wanted to return him a hundred thousand, then he would accept it!
Ning Jie and Xia Chen had just gotten into a taxi and were heading towards the village in West Harbor City. After the bad experience of taking the bus last time, it was obvious that they wouldn't take the bus again in the summer.
According to common sense, they should have bought a car. They had just earned 10 million from Wang Lixing, that guy who had already died, so buying a car was naturally not a problem. However, the problem was that they didn't know how to drive in the summer, and Ning Jie didn't know how to drive either.
When she was normal, she would basically learn martial arts from Song Yumei or something else. At that time, she had a full-time driver, so she didn't need to learn how to drive at all. As a result, even now, Ning Jie was the same as Xia Chen. She knew how to smash cars, but she definitely didn't know how to drive.
Perhaps it was because most people were still sleeping on the weekend, so there wasn't much traffic on the road. In less than half an hour, the taxi arrived at the village in West Harbor City that Lu Hui had mentioned.
"Sir, the village in West Harbor City is on the other side. You have to go over the bridge over there. My car can't turn here, so I can't drive over. You guys should get off here. It'll be faster this way." The taxi stopped by the side of the road and the driver said.
"Alright, wife, let's go down." When he heard that it would be faster in the summer, he immediately agreed and handed the driver a hundred yuan, "No need to look for it."
Seeing Xia Chen pull Ning Jie out of the car, the driver thanked her, but in his heart, he was cursing Xia Chen for being an idiot. Wasn't it just to pretend to be rich in front of a woman? He actually gave a tip when he hit someone. Did he really need to hit someone when he had money?
It was a pity that he couldn't read minds in the summer. Otherwise, he would definitely get the money back and might even smash the taxi.
At this moment, Xia Xia was pulling Ning Jie towards the footbridge, preparing to cross the bridge to go to the village in West Port City. He believed that he had always kept his word, and since he had agreed to return 100,000 to others, he had to return 100,000. To him, 100,000 was just a small amount of money, so it wasn't a big deal.
However, just as he took a few steps, he was stopped by someone and a woman's voice entered his ears, "Young man, wait a minute, donate a dollar!"
Xia Zhi looked around, only to find that the person blocking his way was a middle-aged woman in her forties. He looked at her strangely, "Why should I give you a dollar? Are you a beggar? "
Hearing this, Ning Jie immediately wanted to laugh, and many of the men and women who were also stopped by this middle-aged woman also wanted to laugh. This person's mouth was really poisonous, he was clearly collecting donations, and it was in the name of voluntary donations, yet he actually said that he was a beggar, and even asked him so seriously, this was simply slapping him in the face!
The middle-aged woman's surname was Bai, and the people who were with her all called her Big Sister Bai. Some of the people who were stopped to donate already knew that this Big Sister Bai was raising money for the Wang Hong Kong Charity Society, and everyone only needed one dollar. Originally, this was not a big deal, but this person insisted on everyone donating at least one dollar, and if they did not donate, they would carry out moral education, causing some people to be annoyed, especially those who did not have any change on them. Although they wanted to donate one dollar to get away, they only had one hundred dollars on them, and they did not want to donate so much. The feeling of being forced to donate was already not good enough, and they still had to donate a hundred dollars.
"Lad, what are you talking about? Who's a beggar? Who's a beggar? Ah? I'm a voluntary fundraiser. Do you know what fundraising is? Do you know what it means to help others? "You know …" Big Sister Bai was instantly displeased and immediately began to teach Xia Chen a lesson.
This Big Sis Bai's ability to be called a shrew gave them a headache. Many of them had just experienced it, but they couldn't argue with Big Sis Bai here. Otherwise, they might be labeled as unsympathetic.
But at this moment, Xia Chen said, "I know I don't owe you money, and I know you're asking me for money, so you're a beggar. A few days ago, a beggar told me that beggars are all liars, so you're a liar. I hate liars the most, so I won't give you a single dollar!"
