Chapter 262: 086: Embarrassing, preparing to move house_2

Shortly after Grandma Lu left,

Qin Fengyang and Feng Qiaoqiao came over to sell a pile of cardboard boxes.

As they approached the tricycle, they saw Lin Wu.

Since Lin Wu had given Feng Qiaoqiao a stern talking-to, Qiaoqiao had become much better behaved, at least she wouldn’t dare talk behind their backs anymore, and she was polite when meeting face-to-face.

Seeing Lin Wu standing in front of the vehicle collecting recyclables, Feng Qiaoqiao almost thought she was seeing things. Upon closer inspection, the scene before her hadn’t changed at all.

It really was Lin Wu!

Feng Qiaoqiao said with a smile, "Xiao Wu is collecting recyclables? I thought I was seeing things!"

"You’re not seeing things," Lin Wu spoke indifferently, "I’m watching the stall for Grandma Jin. Do you want to sell the cardboard boxes?"

Feng Qiaoqiao nodded, her gaze upon Lin Wu containing scrutiny. Here she was, collecting recyclables, and yet Zhao Cuinong had the nerve to boast that she and Lin Guixiang had made quite a bit of money partnering in a skincare business.

"How much per pound for cardboard boxes now?" Feng Qiaoqiao continued to inquire.

"Fifty cents," Lin Wu replied.

Feng Qiaoqiao handed over the cardboard boxes to Lin Wu, "Please weigh them for me."

Lin Wu took the boxes and deftly weighed them.

Qin Fengyang just stared at Lin Wu, somewhat surprised and a bit incredulous.

How did Lin Wu know they were going to sell cardboard boxes today?

In his view, the only reason Lin Wu decided to sell cardboard boxes was definitely due to him, wanting to talk with him more and to check on him.

Everything Lin Wu did was because of him.

After all, he was Lin Wu’s idol.

Otherwise,

Qin Fengyang couldn’t think of any better reason.

Soon, Lin Wu had the weight, "21 pounds."

To a girl, 21 pounds was quite heavy, yet in Lin Wu’s hands, it seemed weightless.

Qin Fengyang frowned imperceptibly.

Wasn’t Lin Wu trying a little too hard to get his attention?

How could a girl lift something weighing 21 pounds?

Without thinking, he knew Lin Wu was purposely doing this for him to see.

Lin Wu wanted him to see a different side of her.

Because not every girl could lift something weighing 21 pounds with one hand like Lin Wu.

But Lin Wu’s thinking seemed rather simplistic.

He doesn’t choose a girlfriend based on her strength.

If being strong was enough to win his affection, wouldn’t he have to like several girls at once?

Shortly thereafter, Lin Wu set down the boxes and looked toward Feng Qiaoqiao, "Anything else?"

"Some plastic bottles," Feng Qiaoqiao indicated the bag on the ground.

"Plastic bottles are thirty cents per pound," Lin Wu picked up the bag of plastic bottles to weigh them, "10 pounds."

Feng Qiaoqiao nodded and asked, "How much is it in total?"

"Thirteen dollars and fifty cents," Lin Wu almost blurted out.

Feng Qiaoqiao frowned slightly, glancing back at Qin Fengyang, "Feng Yang, is Xiao Wu’s calculation correct?"

Feng Qiaoqiao suspected Lin Wu was just making it up.

Who calculates so quickly?

Qin Fengyang did the mental math, then nodded with a smile, "Right."

Getting her son’s confirmation, Feng Qiaoqiao felt at ease.

Soon after, Qin Fengyang turned to Lin Wu and asked, "Can we sell books, too?"

He had some elementary school textbooks that he could sell to Lin Wu.

It would be a chance to let Lin Wu see into his childhood.

If Lin Wu saw his elementary school textbooks, she’d surely treasure them, right?

With that thought, Qin Fengyang’s heart raced.

He couldn’t help feeling regretful.

Lin Wu really was beautiful.

If only her family background was better, her academic performance a bit stronger, she would be worthy of him.

As it stood, Lin Wu still fell short.

"Yes," Lin Wu nodded slightly, her voice soft, "Same price as the cardboard boxes."

Upon hearing this, Qin Fengyang turned to Feng Qiaoqiao, "Mom, shall we go home and get out the elementary school textbooks we don’t need? They’re just taking up space anyway."

Feng Qiaoqiao hesitated, then, thinking that her son was now in high school and had no use for the elementary stuff, and that it indeed took up space at home, she said, "Okay."

With that, Feng Qiaoqiao walked back with Qin Fengyang.

As they walked, she said, "Lin Wu has fallen on hard times, collecting scrap, and yet Zhao Cuinong still boasts every day about buying cars and houses, I really don’t know how she manages to spout such nonsense!"

Qin Fengyang said, "Didn’t Lin Wu say she was watching the stall for someone else?"

Feng Qiaoqiao snorted, "Who knows whether that old woman and Lin Wu are from the same family! Besides, do you think Lin Wu would be so kind to watch a stall for some old lady she doesn’t know? Even if they aren’t related, they must have some family connection."

Qin Fengyang thought his mother had a point.

Feng Qiaoqiao continued, "Feng Yang, I’m warning you again, don’t get too close to girls like Lin Wu. She’ll only hold you back."
