Chapter 1096: 281: Meet! _5
“One hundred and eight.” The middle-aged woman whispered.
“One hundred and eight!” Zhao Yu exclaimed in shock, “Why don’t you just rob someone!”
The middle-aged woman chuckled and said, “Listen to how funny you sound, young rade! If I get caught doing this, it’s a huge problem! The price I’m giving you is already very kind! Others are selling it for one hundred twenty-eight!”
At this time, crackdowns were serious, and activities like those of the middle-aged woman, if caught, were indeed troublesome.
“That still can’t be one hundred and eight!” Zhao Yu continued, “Will seventy-eight work?”
She had a total of ninety-eight yuan on her, and after the car fare and meal money, she was left with only ninety yuan!
There would still be meals needed on the way, and after arriving in Beijing, she would need to transfer several times. All these transfers would take at least seven or eight days to reach Jinghua Village!
Hearing this, the middle-aged woman said speechlessly, “Seventy-eight yuan? Young rade, aren’t you joking with me? No, no!”
Zhao Yu narrowed her eyes and went on, “Auntie, it’s already past seven o’clock. If you don’t sell this ticket by six o’clock tomorrow morning, not only will you not be able to sell it for a penny, but you will also lose several yuan. I’m willing to buy it for seventy-eight yuan, at least you’ll make twenty! You can’t be so inflexible in life, you have to learn to adapt!”
At this point, Zhao Yu added, “If you really don’t want to sell it, then forget it. I’ll look around, surely someone will be willing to sell it to me for seventy-eight yuan!”
With that, Zhao Yu turned to leave.
Actually, Zhao Yu had learned this trick by following Ni Yang.
Don’t be fooled by Ni Yang’s wealth—when it es to bargaining, no one can beat her!
The middle-aged woman saw Zhao Yu walking further and further away, and quickly said, “e back! e back! Young rade, e back! Let’s talk this through, young rade!”
Zhao Yu turned around unhurriedly, “Do you have anything else to say?”
The middle-aged woman said wordlessly, “Fine, seventy-eight it is! I’ll sell you the ticket! I’ve been in this business for over a year and I’ve never met a girl as shrewd as you!”
Zhao Yu said unapologetically, “All thanks to my mom’s good teaching!”
Without Ni Yang’s guidance, how could she be so outstanding?
The middle-aged woman handed over the ticket to Zhao Yu, saying, “You look so pretty, your mom must look even prettier, right?”
“That’s right!” Zhao Yu raised her proud little head, “My mom is a thousand times—no, ten thousand times prettier than me! She’s the prettiest in the whole world!”
Middle-aged woman: “…” Why don’t you just say your mom is a fairy descended to earth?
And the prettiest in the whole world!
You don’t even draft your lies!
The middle-aged woman casually pointed to a poster near the train, “Is your mom prettier than that rade?”
Zhao Yu replied disdainfully, “She can’t even pare to one ten-thousandth of my mom!”
The middle-aged woman followed up, “Do you know who that is? That’s a big pop star! Can your mom be prettier than a pop star?”
Zhao Yu had an inexplicable confidence in Ni Yang. In her eyes, Ni Yang was the most impressive! And the most beautiful in the world!
Nothing is greater than Yangyang, not even the vastness of the earth and sky!
“If my mom decided to sing, what business would she have?”
Middle-aged woman: “…” This kid must be crazy.
“Here’s seventy-eight yuan, please count it.” Zhao Yu handed over a few RMB notes to the middle-aged woman.
The middle-aged woman took the RMB and said, “Young rade, let me tell you, my train ticket is for the rear carriage. If you’re a bit clever, the inspectors hardly ever check there!”
Zhao Yu nodded, “Alright, thank you.”
“It’s tough for everyone out there, no need for thanks!” The middle-aged woman continued, “But just having a train ticket isn’t enough—you can’t stay anywhere in Beijing without an introduction letter. Where will you stay?”
Zhao Yu smiled, “Don’t worry about that, my mom is in Beijing!”
“Oh, is that so.” The middle-aged woman nodded, “Then I wish you a smooth journey, young rade!”
“Thank you!” Zhao Yu waved goodbye to her.
With the ticket successfully purchased, Zhao Yu was in high spirits, bringing Dapang to a grove near the train station. Since she didn’t have much money left, she planned to make do and spend the night in a tree.
To get a good night’s sleep, Zhao Yu specifically chose a lush, towering tree!
Just as she was about to climb the tree, Zhao Yu realized that she was now even worse off than Dapang, the silly cat!
