Chapter 74 Buying a Car
The child was beaten, and the real show began.
Da Meili was eating the kebabs she had forcibly taken.
"Tell me, how did you get better?" Liu Xiaoli looked at her daughter and deliberately smacked her kebab loudly—to make you drool, you silly girl.
Liu Qianqian stared at the skewers on the table, licking her lips, without saying a word. She knew that saying too much would lead to trouble, and Zhou Xiaobai was the one to cover up the mess.
Zhou Wenqiong remained calm and composed. She seemed to understand something, but she wasn't sure.
But today was a good day: I made a lot of money, ate free barbecue skewers, and even managed to spank my child.
"Uh..." Zhou Xiaobai swallowed hard. "It's an ancestral technique. After you left, Qianqian was feeling really unwell, so I tried... I tried to fix it for her, and it actually worked!"
He looked at Liu Qianqian, who immediately understood and sobbed, "Waaah... Mom, I was in so much pain back then... My brother saw how pitiful I was and helped me get better..."
She spoke with great emotion, emphasizing the suffering she had endured.
"real?"
(Please remember 1219.m.k.com for the fastest chapter updates.)
Da Meili said in unison.
They had their doubts too, but it's been two days already. If it really worked, why didn't Zhou Xiaobai treat it sooner?
This explanation sounds reasonable, but something just doesn't feel right.
"Waaah... That's how it is, I'm not lying to you. After my brother healed me, I was so hungry, so..." Liu Qianqian stared at the last skewer on the table, her mouth watering.
"Wow, that's a good reason—reasonable, compliant, and legal." Liu Xiaoli suppressed a laugh as she looked at her daughter's greedy expression. "Want some?"
"Mmm!" Liu Qianqian nodded and reached out to take it.
"Slap!" Liu Xiaoli slapped her hand away. "Tell me, where did the money come from?"
He then winked at Zhou Wenqiong.
Decades of sisterhood, they understand each other with just a glance.
Zhou Wenqiong grabbed Liu Qianqian and reached into her pocket.
Immediately, she pulled out a handful of crumpled change, counted it, and gave Liu Xiaoli a wink: "Oh, another sixty-six yuan and sixty cents, a lucky number, quite slippery. Looks like you two are destined to run away."
Liu Qianqian is rich, so she doesn't believe Zhou Xiaobai is unaware of the money. As for where it came from, she imagines he must have saved it up and hidden it away in private.
But the two little brats kept complaining about being poor in front of them, yet in the blink of an eye, money would suddenly appear again.
"Is there any more?" Liu Xiaoli slapped the sofa. The two little ones shuddered and shook their heads in unison.
But Liu Qianqian's eyes then fell on the stack of hard-earned money in Zhou Wenqiong's hand: "Auntie, that's what we saved up..."
"How much is left?" Liu Xiaoli interrupted, nitpicking the words. She didn't believe it was just that little.
"It's gone! It's really gone!" Liu Qianqian stubbornly denied it.
Zhou Xiaobai shook his head as well. He had already hidden the 50,000 yuan from Yue Ge; even if Liu Qianqian's money was lost, it wouldn't affect his good life.
"hehe!"
Liu Xiaoli smiled, pursing her lips.
We've already hit the child and asked everything we could. We know there's no point in asking any more questions. We can't just let the child go hungry.
Besides, today is a good day. She nodded at Zhou Wenqiong, unusually being a good person: "Give it to her, you go buy it now."
Even if you give someone a beating, you should also give them a treat. Besides, I've been sick for two days and I'm craving something sweet, so the child is even more uncomfortable.
"what!"
Liu Qianqian was overjoyed and exchanged a glance with Zhou Xiaobai. Could there really be such a good thing?
They immediately realized that the contract had been signed.
Without saying a word, Liu Qianqian took the money and ran away.
Having been frightened and beaten, my stomach was already growling with hunger, so of course I had to go buy some more kebabs.
As soon as Liu Qianqian ran out the door, Liu Xiaoli pointed at Zhou Xiaobai and said, "Come here and help us get better too. This cold is really awful."
She thought to herself: "It can beautify and shape the body, and now it can even cure diseases. Is this really an ancestral technique? Or is it some kind of immortal cultivation method?"
Zhou Wenqiong nodded and pressed further, "What other uses does this ancestral martial art have?"
"That's all, that's all. For now, we only know it can cure diseases," Zhou Xiaobai explained, pressing her head down.
"Heh!" The two sisters sneered simultaneously.
……
The next day.
On the way to buy a car, everyone was in high spirits.
All three girls were dressed in white, wearing the same Nike shoes and white sneakers. They had high ponytails, similar face shapes, and the same outfits, exuding liveliness and energy.
Now that she has money and Zhou Xiaobai's skincare routine, she's getting younger and younger.
The whole trip was basically the older sister taking her younger brother and sister shopping.
Ahead, Liu Xiaoli pinched her daughter's cheek and said with a beaming smile, "We're having a good time today, so you can call me Sister Li. Don't get it wrong later."
Liu Qianqian tried calling her "Sister Li" a few times, just like Zhou Xiaobai did, and was scolded a few times in the process.
But when I'm happy today, everything becomes easier.
"Okay, Sister Li, I'd be even happier if you called me Mom... or Sister." Liu Qianqian's smile was so wide it was almost smug—she had lost her front tooth that morning.
"Stop laughing, it looks awful." Liu Xiaoli said, disapproving of Liu Qianqian who was losing her baby teeth.
"Grandma said you were even uglier when you were little, and you even wore braces," Liu Qianqian said, unconvinced, telling the truth.
"You..." Liu Xiaoli gritted her teeth, admitting defeat in the argument. She forced an explanation, "That's from eating candy."
"Don't try to fool me," Liu Qianqian, who was full of inside information, delivered a swift and decisive blow, "My grandma told me that when I was little, resources were scarce, and there was no candy to eat."
These words made Liu Xiaoli so angry that she vomited blood.
Zhou Wenqiong burst into laughter as she listened to the ramblings of the mother and daughter in front of her.
At this moment, she was enjoying being fed by Zhou Xiaobai.
My older sister loves to eat sunflower seeds, but today she's wearing bright, eye-catching lipstick, so she can't bring herself to eat them. Since she's craving them, she directs her younger brother to do it.
Zhou Xiaobai cracked open a sunflower seed, removed the shell, and his hands were covered in sunflower seed kernels. He held out his hand and said, "Sister, here you go."
"My younger brother is so much better, unlike Xixi, who's so silly." Zhou Wenqiong opened her mouth to take the melon seeds, pouting as she offered her praise.
She's strange; her niece has been beaten the most severely, but she's always back to her old self, causing trouble again, like an unkillable cockroach.
Zhou Xiaobai nodded in agreement. Knowing Liu Qianqian made him the scapegoat. If he weren't tough, he wouldn't have been able to withstand it.
The group chatted and laughed, and soon arrived at a large car dealership.
There are no scenes of showing off or getting humiliated, and no rich guys coming up to call you "little sister".
Seeing two beautiful women with two adorable children walking around the exhibition hall, exchanging opinions in hushed tones, the salesperson politely went up to greet them.
No way you'd be polite—this guy's got the money to burn.
Two such beautiful women came to buy a car together. Just based on their looks, can't we be a little more polite?
Even if a deal falls through, goodwill remains. If someone takes a liking to it, a wealthy patron will surely come to pay for it later.
It's no wonder the salesperson had the wrong idea.
Who told you two to be so beautiful? You're only carrying small bags that can't hold much money.
These days, car purchases are mostly cash transactions; bank transfers are rare. If you showed up with a sack of cash, we definitely wouldn't suspect anything.
After exchanging greetings, the salesperson led them straight towards the Mercedes-Benz and BMW dealerships.
The reason is quite practical: a large car ensures safety.
Chinese people like "big". Big represents stability, security, and often means expensive.
The group circled around several large vehicles twice, but couldn't find one with a suitable price.
After browsing around, I ended up at the Audi booth.
"What do you think of this one?"
Liu Xiaoli pointed to an Audi 100 that looked very official and asked.
Zhou Wenqiong looked disgusted; the car didn't suit her taste at all.
Besides, it's ridiculously expensive. Even if you spend all 500,000, you'd probably only be able to buy a basic version.
I browsed around for a long time and left a lot of comments.
The salesman was inwardly cursing and even gave him a disdainful look, assuming that this was another customer who was just looking but not buying.
To be honest, the service awareness of car dealerships these days is really poor; in the end, the salesperson actually ran away at the last minute.
Everyone laughed and didn't bother with such a small fry. They were even more pleased to be alone.
If you can't afford a big one, you can only look at the smaller ones.
