Chapter 27
, I'll say it again: I'm a respectable person.
Chen Huan rolled her eyes at Kim Dae-sung. "What nonsense are you spouting?"
"How did I become salted fish?"
Jin Dacheng quickly explained, "Brother, don't misunderstand. What I mean is, that young woman is definitely interested in you."
"I don't know what you did in there, you really got her all worked up. Maybe you'll just seize the opportunity and do *that*..."
Kim Dae-sung made faces and looked extremely lewd.
Chen Huan understood what "that thing" referred to.
However, he replied with a hint of doubt, "First of all, let me state that I am a decent person and I would not be as shameless as you, thinking of using women to climb the social ladder and change my life."
"Besides, doesn't that young woman already have a husband? She's already had a daughter, why is she still thinking about having affairs?"
Jin Dacheng clicked his tongue, "Brother, you look young and don't know much about the ways of the world."
"I already told you, that guy in the suit earlier is a gigolo. He used to hang around in our town, but somehow he hooked up with a rich woman."
"I know for sure that the young woman's daughter is not his child."
Chen Huan raised an eyebrow. "Your child?"
Kim Dae-sung frowned. "You're joking. I might have that idea, but I don't have the ability."
"To put it bluntly, that guy is just a plaything; he might get kicked to the curb any day now."
"I have high hopes for you. If you really do manage to hook up with a rich woman and become successful, don't forget to give your brother a hand."
Chen Huan waved his hand, too lazy to talk to him anymore.
Now that I possess all these skills and extraordinary techniques, I have no need to sell my body or cater to women's tastes to change my life.
"Hey bro, you're leaving already? Aren't you going to chat a little longer?"
"What's the rush?" Kim Dae-sung followed him out.
Chen Huan casually replied, "Go across the street and buy a tricycle."
Kim Dae-sung patted his chest and said, "If you mention my name to them, they'll give you at least a 20% discount. We still have some influence on this street."
Chen Huan pushed his bicycle to the entrance of the agricultural machinery station.
I bought the tricycle only for temporary use.
Chen Huan's idea is that after he makes a lot of money in a few days, he'll buy a car and drive it.
After all, out of more than a hundred households in Lotus Village, only the village chief Zhao Siming owns a car. He acts all high and mighty all day long, honking his horn indiscriminately wherever he goes.
Later, Chen Huan will definitely get a big, impressive car to properly put their arrogance to rest.
Therefore, buying a used tricycle is the most economical and practical choice.
Upon seeing him lingering around the old tricycle, the sales staff in the shop immediately showed a look of disdain.
None of them were bothered to come out and were unwilling to serve.
Chen Huan took out the two bundles of banknotes from his pocket and slapped them against the window of a tricycle.
"Hey handsome young man, are you buying a car?" The two sales clerks rushed out.
No matter how society changes, the role of money will never change.
If anything, the more money you have, the more respect others will have for you.
"Choose a powerful car that can handle muddy terrain," Chen Huan stated simply.
The salesperson quickly pointed to something next to it and said, "This one is perfect. It's strong enough to pull a ton, and it doesn't use much fuel."
"High ground clearance, thick wheels, durable, can even be used for off-roading..."
Chen Huan looked at the car and found it to be about 80% new. He shook it a couple of times and felt that the overall frame was quite sturdy.
"How much?" Chen Huan asked directly without further ado.
"Eight thousand. This car is 90% new. It hasn't been used much before."
"The original owner bought a new car, so we can take this one," the salesperson enthusiastically marketed.
Chen Huan felt the price was a bit too high, so he glanced across the street and said, "Hey you, Jin Dacheng from the antique shop recommended this place to me."
He had only mentioned it casually, but when the sales clerk saw Kim Dae-sung standing at the door, she immediately picked up a calculator and said, "I'll give you a 20% discount, so it'll be 6,500. We're friends."
Chen Huan was greatly surprised.
I didn't expect that Kim Dae-sung wasn't just bragging; he actually has some influence and influence.
I gave him about a thousand yuan before, but now I've saved it all back here.
To be honest, they really do have some expertise in interpersonal relationships and social interactions.
Chen Huan put the bicycle into the back of the tricycle. He had driven this kind of thing before, so after a quick familiarization, he started it up.
He waved towards where Kim Dae-sung was, then turned on the gas and drove away.
Chen Huan made over 20,000 yuan today, and after deducting the money for the tricycle, he still had over 15,000 yuan left, which put him in a great mood.
Thinking that after returning, I would catch some blackfish in the river, nurture them properly with the Golden Elixir, and send them over tomorrow morning, which would make me a fortune.
Wouldn't life get better then?
Now that he had some money, Chen Huan thought about buying something for Li Chunlan.
Yesterday, her best-looking outfit was torn, and she couldn't mend it properly when she got home. She was heartbroken for a long time.
Chen Huan found the clothing store with the best-looking storefront and the largest area, and directly selected two outfits.
Before leaving, I went to the same mobile phone shop as yesterday and got Zhao Liping a used phone.
Living under the same roof, if Zhao Liping only brought back gifts for Li Chunlan, she probably wouldn't feel good about it.
My main goal was to shut her up.
After all, it seemed that Li Chunlan had already discovered his affair with her.
Having a tricycle makes traveling on the rugged, potholed village roads feel quite different.
Especially after entering the village.
When the villagers saw that Chen Huan, who was usually silly and whose family was so poor that they could hardly afford to eat, had actually brought back a tricycle, they started talking about it.
Seeing everyone's envious looks, Chen Huan felt no joy or pride whatsoever.
Instead, I felt a little sad.
What era are we living in now? In the surrounding villages, roads and bridges are being built, and every household has a color TV, a refrigerator, and a car.
In Lotus Village alone, so poor that even rats would leave in tears.
This was, after all, Chen Huan's birthplace, where he grew up. Thinking of this, he felt increasingly uneasy.
When he got home, Li Chunlan and Zhao Liping were both there.
They somehow got hold of a batch of manual labor from an electronics factory, and the two of them are working on it with great enthusiasm.
Everyone was surprised to see Chen Huan riding a tricycle back and came out to check.
"I bought it. The previous batch of black carp sold for a good price, and this used car was cheap, so it will be more convenient to go out in the future." Chen Huan didn't say the specific amount, but just gave a casual explanation.
Then he took out the newly bought clothes and handed them to Li Chunlan, saying, "Try them inside. If they don't fit, I'll change them for you tomorrow."
Li Chunlan's mouth dropped open in surprise. "Why did you buy me clothes? This material looks really nice; it must have cost a lot of money!"
"You should save the money you earn to get married."
That's clearly a bit insincere.
Chen Huan raised an eyebrow. "Who are you going to marry?"
Li Chunlan looked somewhat uneasy and stammered, unable to speak a complete sentence.
Just then, a slightly resentful voice came from behind, "Of course, you should marry me!"
"How did I become salted fish?"
Jin Dacheng quickly explained, "Brother, don't misunderstand. What I mean is, that young woman is definitely interested in you."
"I don't know what you did in there, you really got her all worked up. Maybe you'll just seize the opportunity and do *that*..."
