Chapter 41 The Half Emperor Snake (2/2)

The third day, he brought his wife and checked it with her.

On the fourth day, he brought his relatives there and checked the house again.

After several days, he still didn’t make up his decision to buy or not to buy.

Liao Min told me: “It was a good housing market in the past six months, but this bad customer just reduced my performance so much and I was feeling so tired all the time… Last week I told that guest… that the house was sold… Then I told him a lie and applied for leave. I had just gotten a hen and wanted to treat myself to a good time, but… I felt so tired then.”

I could understand her. As a sales girl from the bottom rung of society, it was not easy for people like us to earn such little money. It was even not enough for family expenditures. Each family had its own problems.

Half an hour passed as we talked about life, and I got the call from Liu the Sixth.

I answered the phone, and he was very excited, as if he was about to explode. He told me: “Well, let me tell you… I got the product, but the price was rather high. At leaset fifteen thousand Yuan.”

“Why is it so expensive?” I asked him.

Liu the Sixth told me: “Do you know what kind of ghost it is? I am not joking, this water ghost was actually drowned in the water with massive resentment.”

I asked him what happened to it.

He told me there was an open-air swimming pool on the Zhongxing road. It was shallow - the maximum depth was only one point six meters - but a tall man who was one point eight meters tall went to swim there… and he drowned.

He said that the tall man could not swim, but he just thought he was tall enough and went to the deep area. However, he was too nervous to float and went under in the pool.

There were many people in the pool, but they just though he was fooling around and nobody came to rescue him. When that tall man didn’t come up the people there thought there must be something wrong and swam to save him.

But that tall man was already out of breath.

In that tall man’s viewpoint, he might feel they were very coldhearted as they didn’t save him when he needed help. He must have been very resentful at the time.

Liu the Sixth asked me: “Do you want it?”

“Yes.” I nodded and said: “Fifteen thousand is OK for me… Oh, let me ask first.”

I covered the microphone and asked Liao Min: “Thirty thousand for the Yin tattoo of the cut snake; is that OK for you?”

I thought she was only a sales girl and she couldn’t have much money, so I’d just earn fifteen thousand this time, not so much.

Unexpectedly, Liao Min accepted without hesitation. She said: “OK, just thirty thousand is OK for me.”

Why didn’t she bargain at all? I doubted she was only a sales girl.

I didn’t think about it too much, but remember it after I finished the tattoo.

When Liao Min agreed, so I told Liu the Sixth: “OK… Fifteen thousand is OK for me… Bring it over.”

“Ok, deal.” Liu the Sixth seemed to be a little happy and he told me: “Shui, let me tell you something. A ghost, once sold, should never be returned.”

“Of course… When I buy something, I will swallow it myself…” I was there chattering when I heard the sound of a clash of iron plates.

“One two, one two three, evil little girl, you ask Yu Shui to take your own blame.”

I knew it was Feng Chunsheng when I heard the sound.

There seemed to be some implication from what he said.

“You are such a heartless girl, how could you let Yu Shui bear your troubles?” I judged from Feng Chunsheng that… maybe Liao Min wanted to hurt me?

Then I immediately told Liu the Sixth: “Sorry, Mr. Six, I can’t take that order. My customer is a good person.”

“So what, we are on good terms. Well, see you later. I will keep this order for you for three days.” What a big master he was in this business, since he was so perfectly close.

“Thank you, Mr. Six.”

I hanged up the phone, looking at Liao Min and Feng Chunsheng, who was hitting the iron plate, and asked: “Why?”

Feng Chunsheng hit the plate again: “One two, one two three, nice guy, kind hearted, you can prolong people`s life!”

I understood. He meant that Liao Min could read out my mind and harm me with words so that she could escape from death.

I asked Feng Chunsheng: “Brother Chun, any evidence for that?”

“Any evidence?” He squinted and laughed at Liao Min, saying: “It had nothing to do with The weasel. You can tell how many ghosts are on her since she’s bent all over.”

“Shui, let me tell you, you will be in a worse situation than when you were cheated by Bai Ling if you help her.” Feng Chunsheng said happily.

I got so frightened that my back became wet with cold sweat. Last time, l almost lost my life when Bai Ling cheated me.

I immediately pushed Liao Min out the door and told her: “Leave here, leave. I can’t help you, I am not a capable person for your matters.”

“Mr. Yu, easy, let’s talk business slowly.” Liao Min was a little anxious.

Feng Chunsheng went to the corridor, he pointed at the square and said: “Hey, girl, is that your car? BMW X5? I followed you when you parked it on the square, and I also hid behind the door and eavesdropped… How could you get the money to buy a BMW X5 when you said you were only a sales girl?”

“Oh…” Liao Min lowered her head and didn’t speak.

Then Feng Chunsheng continued: “You must have really had a good real estate trend since a sales girl could buy a BMW X5. I didn’t want to mention your story when you cheated Yu Shui at first, but then you created the fake story about a weasel and cheated him again? Well, we don’t think it necessary to cooperate with you since you never told the truth.”

Now thanks to Feng Chunsheng and I was not cheated by Liao Min. I pushed Liao Min out the gate: “Two options. First… tell the truth; second, get out of here right now. My brother is a master in this business; you can’t lie to him.”

“I…I just…”

“Will you speak?” I asked her.

She was on the verge of breaking down and said: “I just… really can’t tell the truth, or else, I would be killed too.”
