Chapter 11: What Do You Take Me For!

  The price was finally settled at ten yuan, and Sun Yang was also curious about what Xia Xue knew, so he accepted the price.

  Xia Xue was able to re-enter and comfortably threw herself onto the sofa, looking especially fond of its softness.

  "Every second counts, one block of money is deducted!" Sun Yang grasped Xia Xue's weakness and slapped ten 1-yuan bills on the table, counting down: "Ten! Nine......" Each time he counted, he took out a 1-yuan bill from inside.

  Xia Xue's eyes turned red, and she suddenly jumped up from the sofa, tightly grasping Sun Yang's hand, and said wordlessly: "I'm saying, I'm saying, this dress can definitely be bought back at Thief Street!"

  "Thieves' Street?" Sun Yang glanced at Xia Xue: "What thieves' street?"

  "You... if you don't deduct money, I'll tell you everything in detail!" Xia Xue said, holding down Sun Yang's hand.

  "As long as you let go of my hand, I won't deduct the money!" Sun Yang originally thought Xia Xue was quite conservative, but now he felt that when it came to money, Xia Xue was actually very generous!

  "Ah——stinky rascal!" Xia Xue only then noticed that she was tightly grasping Sun Yang's hand. Although she was a small-town girl, she was also from a family of scholars and was so embarrassed that she quickly withdrew her hands, but didn't forget to snatch the 10 yuan as well.

  "Speak up." Sun Yang pulled out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, deliberately ignoring Xia Xue's shyness and... shamelessness. To him, Xia Xue was undoubtedly very novel - the shyness of a maiden, the love of money like a miser... Such a wonderful combination of personality, really is... Tsk tsk, not good to evaluate!

  "The thieves' street is actually where the thieves steal branded clothes and sell them at a low price on the street. Since they are all genuine brands, gradually, it has become famous, even people from other states and counties know about it, many people from other states will drive here to buy." Xia Xue introduced: "Your Adidas probably would appear on the thieves' street, but most of them were smuggled from outside, you losing it locally is really unlucky!"

  Looking at Xia Xue's gloating expression, Sun Yang really wanted to punch her. No, taking back that 10 yuan would be more painful for her! Sun Yang said indifferently: "Do you often go shopping too?"

  "I'm not going to buy it! Our family may be poor, but we have dignity! I like pretty clothes, but I would never go out and buy stolen goods!" Xia Xue said resolutely, looking completely different from the image of someone who had just snatched 10 yuan.

  "Is it?" Sun Yang snorted: "That's good, this is an open and daring act of selling stolen goods! It's against the law!"

  "Whatever! The thieves' street has been around for more than a year or two, and the police occasionally go to catch them, but it's not effective at all!" Xia Xue snorted in disdain, then added a mocking remark to Sun Yang: "I say you young people who have just started working, what's wrong with dressing plainly? Blindly chasing after brand names, now you're blinded by your own foolishness!"

  You seem even younger than me! Sun Yang glanced at her, but in his heart, he was thinking about Xia Xue's words just now. The thief street has existed for not one or two years, why didn't the police crack down on it severely? This matter will have to be asked from someone closer to the police station later...

  Seeing Sun Yang speechless, Xia Xue thought that her words had stimulated him and felt a little soft-hearted. She patted Sun Yang's shoulder: "Alright, no big deal, I'll accompany you on Thursday to buy it back for tens of dollars!"

  "Buy it back?" Sun Yang looked at Xia Xue, he had never thought of buying it back! What a joke! He was the director of the police station, the king of killers! Losing something and then spending money to buy it back? Forget about saving face!

  Looking at Sun Yang's disdainful appearance, Xia Xue shook her head: "Don't be unconvinced! You outsiders don't know, those thieves are powerful, or else the police wouldn't be unable to catch them! It's just buying it back, but if you provoke trouble, it's not worth it..."

  "Is that so? I really want to stir up some trouble!" Sun Yang sneered, "Grandma's, it's indeed a case of 'no tigers in the mountains, monkeys claim to be kings'! I'd like to see what kind of trouble you can stir up!"

  "Ah, you..." Xia Xue thought he was just being young and boastful. She stood up and said: "I'm going to leave now, I haven't eaten yet! I'll still keep the key, it's convenient for me to come here and clean, hehe..."

  "Oh." Sun Yang responded casually, suddenly remembering to call out to Xia Xue: "Wait a minute!"

  Xia Xue stopped in her tracks, looking at Sun Yang with a puzzled expression as he casually pulled out a stack of 100-yuan bills from his wallet. Xia Xue's face suddenly changed: "What do you take me for! I'm telling you - our family may be poor, but we have dignity! Don't think that just because you have some dirty money, you can do whatever you want!"

  Sun Yang was scolded and immediately understood. It turned out that they thought he was a customer who bought sex, which made him very depressed. With his current appearance, did he still need to spend money?

  "Stop dreaming! With your airport body... This is the household money for you!" Sun Yang disdainfully handed over the money to Xia Xue: "I don't know how prices are here, I'll give you 2,000 yuan first, be frugal, this includes money for buying groceries and daily expenses at home!"

  "You just flew to the airport…… Ah! So much…… Not much, it should be enough to barely make ends meet for a month!" Xia Xue's heart was racing with twists and turns, oh my god! Two thousand yuan! If she pinched pennies, maybe she could scrape together over a thousand yuan for household expenses in a month!

  "Not enough? You can find me again." Sun Yang, who had never taken money seriously in this life or the previous one, waved his hand indifferently: "Alright, go! Remember to balance nutrition when buying groceries!"

  "Got it!" Xia Xue happily ran off with the money, her previous dignified demeanor instantly transformed into a greedy one.

  When Xia Xue left, Sun Yang stood up to pull the curtains, and his gaze inadvertently fell on the intersection downstairs, where there was still a vendor selling buns and cold dishes with a small cart. Xia Xue was standing in front of the cart, rubbing her hands, buying a bun and directly putting it into her mouth, while walking back, her eyes kept glancing at the cold dishes, seemingly wanting to buy but hesitating.

  This stingy little girl, didn't I just give her 2,000 yuan? Isn't it excessive to be so strict with herself? Sun Yang couldn't figure it out. She's just a young girl, and she has a house, why is she being so frugal with herself?

  But after all, it's other people's business, Sun Yang didn't take it to heart and casually pulled the curtains shut to go wash up and sleep.

  The next day, he went to the office, Sun Yang was looking at the data in his own office, and suddenly heard the door being lightly knocked. Sun Yang looked up and saw that it was Little Zhang.

  "Come in." Sun Yang beckoned to Little Zhang, who looked like he was smiling with his eyes narrowed, and Little Zhang came in with a skip, directly to the front of Sun Yang's desk, and pulled out a paper bag from his pocket.
