Chapter 48: The Era of Lawless Women
"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven..."
The little girl's thumb and index finger nimbly counted the stack of banknotes, a perfect "oba-san" appearance. Forgive her, she didn't want to become like an "oba-san", but having grown up this big, it was her first time getting so much money, of course she had to count it accurately, clearly, and with relish.
"I'm telling you, miss, are you done yet? You've been counting here for several hours already, at least ten times!" The old man's tone was disdainful and extremely helpless as he urged Tong Mai to hurry up and leave.
"I'd better count it clearly, what if you cheat me again? Maybe you'll even give me counterfeit bills?" Tong Mai's sharp teeth and quick tongue retorted, as she said this, she also took out bill after bill, her round eyes staring seriously at the bright spot to check.
"This little girl is something else! I've never seen a young lady as feisty and strong-willed as this one before. Times have changed, indeed. The girls we used to know were all so gentle and refined, soft-spoken and demure."
The old man couldn't help it, shaking his head and muttering to himself.
Tong Mai's sharp ears heard his complaints, and she couldn't help but think that this old man was really something else... He actually still had a good taste for this kind of thing... A gentle and quiet girl like Wenwen, did he deserve her?
Mentioning Wenjing, Tong Mai's disdain in her heart involuntarily surged up, and it was easy to involve Yin Yuqi, who is the standard gentle and quiet woman, jealousy, hatred, vinegar... all surging up in her chest.
"Hey old man, this isn't the era where men are superior to women anymore. Nowadays, it's an age where women dominate and I'm in charge here! Got it?"
"I don't understand, I don't need to understand your tricks, just count the money and leave." The old man was too lazy to bother with her, finding that she was a nagging woman who wouldn't stop talking.
"Alright, I won't count anymore!" Having counted over ten times, she actually said she wouldn't count anymore. Only she could say something like that.
Tong Mai slightly waved his hand, and indeed, it was a bit sore. But to get so much money, the pain was worth it.
Old man heard, eyes lit up, finally this troublemaker is going to leave...
"But, old man, let me be upfront with you, if I find out you gave me counterfeit money... then, sorry to say, you'll have to be more careful around here." Tong Mai supported his sore waist with one hand and waved a stack of money in the other, showing off a bit in front of him.
Actually, she is not a person who doesn't respect the elderly, it's just that this grandfather was too unkind and bullied her because she didn't understand, and sent her away with 100,000 yuan. I really regret not speaking up for 200,000 yuan at the time.
"Go ahead, go ahead, if there's counterfeit money here, it's up to you what to do!"
The old man waved his hand and dared her to get out, waiting for her to come back and bother him again, he was probably long gone... This watch alone is enough for him to live a worry-free life for the rest of his life, what's he doing here pawning things?
"Let's part ways for now, old man. As a token of our encounter, I'll give you a big pack of Durex for free! It's imported goods!"
This money has got to be put somewhere! Emptying the bag with Dulles' things will make a sack to hold it...
Big boxes and small boxes all fell to the ground with a loud crash...
The old man was in a daze for a long time, staring at the ground in shock, and when he came back to his senses, Tong Mai had already disappeared!
"This...this..." The old man was at a loss for words, wondering how to evaluate her. Was she really a young lady? Or...in this era, it's truly the heyday of women who defend their rights?
