Nine-tiered fairy lotus

Chapter 43
After breakfast, it was still early, the mother and son were sitting at the dining table chatting, Hu Tu turned the topic back home.

Xu Suwan narrowed her eyes, and said: "Everything else is fine, it's the trash collector you found. That old seven is not only a scoundrel, but also stealthy and tricky. He is simply the best. Do you know what he can do?"

What can Lao Qi do?Isn't it normal for that miser-like guy to do things?
Hu Tu thought for a while, but couldn't figure out where Lao Qi's bottom line was?What exactly did Xu Suwan annoy?He asked: "Isn't it just a collection of junk, what can he do?"

"You can't even imagine what he did." Xu Suwan was very dissatisfied. "Several scrap sellers came to me to complain, saying that this old seven not only cared about the money, but also secretly claimed it. Although he couldn't steal a few each time. People don’t care about money, it’s just that it’s disgusting.”

Hearing this, Hu Tu wanted to intervene, but Xu Suwan didn't pause, and continued to scold: "Besides, didn't I count the money with him by the hour, and then he wasted more time every day, and he didn't leave. He was still here after he was busy. Wait. If I hadn’t kicked him out, he could have stayed here. If you say something about him, he still keeps talking, it’s really maddening.”

No matter how much resentment there is, the punishment will be as harsh as it is.Before Hu Tu was busy outside, Xu Suwan didn't bother him with these trivial matters, but now she speaks out all of them, including the grievances that have been suppressed in her heart these days.It also made Lao Qi's behavior of stealing, raping and playing tricks vividly on the paper, with nowhere to hide.

Hu Tu had expected that Lao Qi would do something sneaky and sneaky, but he didn't expect that Lao Qi would be able to do this.But considering his usual preoccupied appearance, it's not surprising that he could do such a thing.

Although Hu Tu was grateful for Lao Qi's kindness in selling him the lotus platform, he was also very dissatisfied with his behavior. He said: "He is like a mouse, his eyes can only see immediate benefits, don't be as knowledgeable as him. I will Talk to him carefully, if he dares to speak up again, I will deduct his money."

"Come on." Xu Suwan shook her head, "If you withhold his money, even a penny, it would be like killing him. I think he's just looking for money."

She is a kind person. Seeing other people living in poverty, she also wants to help.It's just that Lao Qi is so naughty, it really makes her speechless, secretly sighing that there must be something hateful about a poor person.Although Lao Qi is considered diligent, but judging from his behavior, he is simply down on his own ability, and there is no way for others to change him.

Hu Tu explained: "Mom, in fact, the initiative in this matter is in our hands. After all, we are the ones who pay. I will explain the rules to him later. As long as the rules are detailed enough, he can't do anything about it."

Xu Suwan said: "I don't think it's that easy. He's the kind of person who cares about petty profits all day long. He is a person who can maximize his ability to steal, rape and play tricks at any time and in any industry. You set new rules, and he still There will be new countermeasures." She shook her head, "I'm too lazy to care about those things, go and help me pick some watermelons and put them in the trunk of my car, I'll bring them to my friends to taste."

Watermelons are not the same as strawberries. Not only are they abundant in quantity, they are not worth much, and it doesn’t feel bad to give them away. Maybe they can open up a market by the way.

Hu Tu fully agreed.However, he is not proficient in the skill of picking watermelons. It is basically a blind selection.When he was buying watermelons, he cracked open a few and tried them. The watermelons in this car were all good, so there was no need to pick and choose carefully.

When Xu Suwan left, she added, "By the way, the day before yesterday, Lao Qi said that the reserve fund for him was not enough, so I gave him another 3000 yuan. Don't forget to count it with him."

Hearing this, Hu Tu was a little embarrassed, and he agreed.He suspected that Xu Suwan guessed that he was playing tricks, but she understood his current situation and didn't care about it, which made him very grateful.

Then he kept his gratitude in his heart, analyzed Lao Qi's problem, and found a way to deal with it.Call him in the name of paying the bill, point out his problems, and say: "From now on, I will give you up to 50 yuan a day. If you stay here for a long time, you can't get any more points."

Lao Qi struggled for a while, and agreed with an expression of resentment.Then he took out a ledger made of a calendar, which recorded the income and expenditure accurate to two decimal places in a scattered manner, holding a calculator, and added them up one by one in front of Hu Tu.

Hu Tu couldn't understand Lao Qi's accounts, so he asked directly: "You don't need to tell me the details, just tell me the total amount, the amount of plastic, paper, and various metals."

Lao Qi opened the ledger and reported the answer on the spot.

Seeing that he was so fully prepared, Hu Tu suddenly felt a little uneasy. He went to the yard to look carefully for a while, and he always felt that the account was full of water. Get up early. I won’t settle with you now, but I’ll talk to you when they collect it from the factory some other day if it doesn’t match your account.”

The old seven was stunned, and said: "I calculated everything, how could it be wrong." His voice was much lower than before, and he knew there was a ghost in his heart when he heard it. It seemed that he had done a lot behind Xu Suwan's back. don't know.

Hu Tu didn't think he would really care about Lao Qi, after all, he didn't care about the little money he collected.I just want to remind him to prevent him from doing too much, and don't make a gap of several hundred catties in the end, it will be unbearable.

On the same day, according to the new regulations, Lao Qi arrived on time at six o'clock in the afternoon, and left on time at 08:30 in the evening, without staying for a second.

Seeing that he was so knowledgeable, Hu Tu was very proud at first, and showed off to Xu Suwan, saying that he cured Lao Qi.Unexpectedly, within a few minutes, someone came to sell scraps again, and Hu Tu, who was idle, had to cry and start the business of collecting junk again.

It is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal.These days, he is used to being carefree. Not only does he look down on the money from the waste collection station, but he also doesn't want to do those dirty and tiring jobs.But people have come all the time, and they can't let them take the waste back.

In order not to continue to collect scraps, Hu Tu worked overtime at night, and came up with a new method: after earning 50 yuan and receiving scraps, he would pay according to the number of times, and the remuneration was three yuan a time.He thought that the problem would be solved now, but he didn't expect the result to surprise him again.

That night, Hu Tu paid special attention to Lao Qi's movements, and found that there were many more people coming after 08:30 than before.Taking advantage of Lao Qi's inattention, Hu Tu asked someone why he came so late.The man said that Lao Qi called him in the afternoon to discuss with him, saying that he was too busy before 08:30 and had to queue up, so if he was not in a hurry, he could come later, and Lao Qi could relax his standards a bit.
