Chapter 281 - 281 281 Hypocritical and Fickle

281: Chapter 281: Hypocritical and Fickle 281: Chapter 281: Hypocritical and Fickle After the two sides came to an agreement, the transaction began.

The bosses stated how much merchandise they wanted, paid the corresponding amount, and left with the lobsters.

Once all the bosses had been sent off, Wang Laosi laughed out loud with joy.

With a face full of greed, he counted the money he had just made from selling lobsters.

“Wow, this money is so easy to make; I’ve just earned tens of thousands!”

Wang Laosi’s face was full of smiles, making Chen Yang somewhat disgusted.

Chen Yang glanced at him and then looked towards the back of the van.

He noticed that after all the bosses had left, two baskets of lobsters were still remaining.

“Boss, your lobsters are selling like hotcakes; how come there are still two baskets left?”

Chen Yang asked curiously.

Wang Laosi, still with a face full of smiles as he counted the money, had long forgotten Chen Yang’s presence.

At the sound of someone speaking next to him, he was so startled that he quickly hid the wad of cash behind himself.

Upon seeing it was Chen Yang, he sighed in relief.

“Fuck, it’s you, brother; you scared me.”

Wang Laosi rolled his eyes at Chen Yang, and while continuing to count his money, he answered Chen Yang absentmindedly.

“Who said these are leftovers?

I’m saving them for my father-in-law, who hasn’t arrived yet, just waiting.”

“Your father-in-law?

Does he also run a night snack shop here?”

Chen Yang was taken aback for a moment, not expecting that Wang Laosi had relatives running a shop here,

“Yes, my father-in-law also runs a shop here, it’s the most popular one on this Street.

Of course, that’s all thanks to my lobsters; I always save the best for his shop.”

Wang Laosi cheerfully said, apparently very pleased about his father-in-law.

Upon hearing about the best shop on the street, Chen Yang instinctively thought of the shop he had just visited.

Could it be that the old man was Wang Laosi’s father-in-law?

Chen Yang was stunned.

Just as he was about to ask for confirmation, Wang Laosi suddenly looked in a certain direction.

“Hey, speaking of the father-in-law and here he comes.”

Wang Laosi muttered, it was unclear whether he said it to himself or to Chen Yang.

After saying this, he quickly walked towards the direction he was looking.

The backside of Night Snack Street was poorly lit,

and the surroundings were quite dark.

However, Chen Yang’s eyes were sharp, and he clearly saw the face of the newcomer.

Just as he had guessed, this old man was indeed the old man Chen Yang had just visited at the shop.

“Father-in-law, why did you come alone?

Where’s Cuicui?”

Wang Laosi went up to him and started speaking cheerfully right away.

The old man also looked up at him with a smile, “Cuicui is tending the shop; the front desk worker is off today.”

“Oh, I see.”

Wang Laosi nodded and then helped the old man to the back of the van.

It was dark around them, and Chen Yang did not make a sound, so naturally, the old man did not notice him.

“Father-in-law, it’s the same as usual today; I’ve saved the best lobsters for you.

Have a look,”

Wang Laosi said with a smile as he pushed the lobster baskets towards the old man.

The old man looked inside carefully and nodded in satisfaction, “Good, I’ll transfer the money to you first, and then you can help me bring them to the shop, okay?”

The old man took out a wad of cash from his pocket, prepared in advance.

Upon seeing the old man’s cash, Wang Laosi secretly smiled.

The old man didn’t notice, but Chen Yang did.

“Father-in-law, let me tell you, it’s the end of the month, and the prices of lobsters are rising all over the market; did you know that?”

Wang Lao Si mentioned it intentionally or unintentionally.

When the old man heard this, he was stunned for a moment.

“I know a bit, what about it?”

“Hehe.”

Upon hearing that the old man knew, Wang Lao Si rubbed his hands and chuckled twice, “It’s just that I have increased the prices at all the snack stalls on Night Snack Street, up to a hundred yuan per pound!”

The old man had long read between the lines of Wang Lao Si’s intentions.

But upon hearing the increase to a hundred, he still couldn’t help but be shocked!

“A hundred?

Isn’t that too fast?”

The old man exclaimed in surprise.

“Old man, don’t worry; I am the one raising the prices, not you.

We will be family soon; how could I do such a thing?”

Wang Lao Si posed as a very decent person as he spoke.

“Oh… I see, well, thank you then.”

The old man’s face relaxed a bit upon hearing that his own prices would not increase.

However, he had not fully recovered when Wang Lao Si’s next words made his expression turn ugly.

“You’re welcome, old man.

We are family after all!”

Wang Lao Si chuckled again, then suddenly changed the subject, “Then I wanted to ask, it’s almost half a year now; when do you think is a good day for Cui to get engaged to me?

It gives everyone some security, right?”

Wang Lao Si’s face was filled with a naive smile, appearing very honest.

However, Chen Yang had seen how he bullied those shop owners just before.

So to Chen Yang, his expression seemed very hypocritical and changeable.

“This…”

Upon hearing about the engagement, the old man’s face turned unnatural immediately.

He hummed and hawed for a while before shaking his head, “There’s no rush, since we will all be family eventually.

Why rush the engagement?

We can simply get married in one go.”

The old man chuckled apologetically and then quickly shifted his gaze, looking towards the crayfish.

It seemed like he was trying to change the subject.

That Wang Lao Si looked very honest, but he was cunning inside,

The old man’s attempt to divert the conversation couldn’t escape him.

His face suddenly turned displeased.

“Old man, that’s mean-spirited of you.

Every time I bring this up, you dodge and look for all sorts of excuses to stall me.

Do you really think I, Wang Lao Si, am a fool?”

The sudden change in Wang Lao Si’s attitude caught the old man off guard.

He didn’t know what to say for a moment.

Then Wang Lao Si spoke again.

“Give me a straight answer now, can you marry Cui to me?

If not, we don’t need to collaborate anymore, and I won’t sell these crayfish to you either.”

Wang Lao Si was completely serious, with no hint of joking.

Upon hearing this, the hesitating old man became anxious immediately.

“Don’t!

Our collaboration can’t end!

If necessary, I’ll pay the same price per pound as anyone else.”

The old man said anxiously.

“Hmph.”

Wang Lao Si snorted heavily, fully revealing his true nature.

“Damn it, do you think I care about your money?

I want Cui!

If you don’t marry her to me, no matter how much you offer, I won’t collaborate with you.

Do you understand?”

“I’m laying it out here today.

You’ve got one week.”

“In a week either I’m engaged or married to Cui, or we’ll terminate our collaboration, and there’s no need for you to keep your shop open; I have no time to keep dragging this out.”

After speaking, Wang Lao Si snatched the banknotes from the old man’s hand, slammed the van’s trunk shut,

and then drove away directly.

Leaving an old man still stunned in his original spot.
