Free Days in Siheyuan

Chapter 1306: Provocation
Just based on the way he talked when interacting with lesbians, Zhang Yu was worried about his aunt and uncle.

However, he went out today to buy things for after school starts, so Zhang Yu quickly shifted his attention away from his elder brother.

But he also did not forget what his aunt told him before he left -

In order to squeeze the most out of Zhao Feng's wallet, Zhang Yu also learned those white lotus and green tea tricks today.

When you see something you need, you'll have an expression on your face that shows you want it but can't bear to spend the money...

Without him having to say anything, Zhao Feng would take the initiative to pat his chest and say, "Xiao Yu, take a look and see if there's anything else you like. I'll buy it for you."

After saying this, he took out money and tickets from his pocket.

Looking at the stack of money of at least two or three hundred yuan and various bills in his eldest brother's hand, Zhang Yu's eyes flashed.

It seemed like he asked casually, "It's not a festival, why do you carry so much money with you?"

Zhao Feng paused holding the money, then replied nonchalantly, "Nothing, Xiaoyu, you're going out to buy something today, and I was afraid it wouldn't be enough, so I brought some extra money."

"Brother, you are so kind to me." Zhang Yu said with gratitude, as if he didn't notice the unnatural expression on Zhao Feng's face.

Seeing the touched look on his younger brother's face, Zhao Feng felt guilty, but he still said, "What's the big deal? You're my brother. If I don't treat you well, who can I treat well?"

"Brother! You are simply the best brother..." Zhang Yu was not stingy with his nice words and kept praising him.

Zhao Feng lost all his rationality because of the admiring gaze and various compliments from his younger brother. He patted his chest and said again: "Xiao Yu, you can choose whatever you want today. If you choose, I will pay for it."

Zhao Feng was so overwhelmed by the praise that he completely forgot his purpose of taking the money.

As for the White Lotus who had performed with all her might yesterday and was waiting for Zhao Feng, the sucker, to give her money today, she was now looking at Zhao Feng eagerly.

Seeing this, Zhang Yu curled the corners of his mouth.

In this case, don't blame him for being rude.

Thinking that it would be better to save money for himself than to let his elder brother be taken advantage of and spend the money on some white lotus, Zhang Yu let go and started shopping on a spree.

Of course, he still collected some at the beginning and only gave away some cheaper small items.

Otherwise, by spending too much at the beginning, you might scare some big enemy awake.

But even though the initial items cost less, Zhang Yu still did not give up praising, admiring, and being touched by Zhao Feng...

He kept saying "Big brother is so good to me!" on the one hand, and "Big brother, among all the brothers you love me the most!" on the other. Everything made Zhao Feng completely confused.

At this moment, Zhao Feng had only one thought: "Buy!"

As for how much money was spent and how many tickets were used, Zhao Feng said it was nothing.

Xiaoyu is not someone else, isn't it normal for him to spend some money on his own younger brother?

Besides, Xiaoyu is still young and doesn't have much money. As the eldest brother, I already have a job and receive a salary every month. What's wrong with subsidizing Xiaoyu?
At this time, Zhao Feng had not forgotten at all that although Zhang Yu was still a student, he was a consultant for the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. Not to mention the extra income he earned from helping to repair machines in other factories every month, the consultant's salary alone was much higher than his salary.

Zhang Yu bought things as he walked. When he arrived at the watch counter, he casually glanced at the watches.

Zhang Yu swore that he really didn't want his elder brother to buy him a watch.

He really just glanced at it casually.

He still has a diamond-studded watch he bought before in his space. He really doesn't like this ordinary one.

But in the eyes of the brainwashed Zhao Feng, his younger brother just wanted the watch.

He used his remaining brain to think about it. Xiaoyu was going to college soon, so he really needed to buy a new watch.

As for the watch on Zhang Yu's hand, Zhao Feng subconsciously ignored it.

But even if it is not ignored, in Zhao Feng's opinion, his younger brother will soon be a college student. How can a college student not have a new watch?
What if those people think that Xiaoyu’s family is not well off and bully Xiaoyu just because he wears an old watch?
Although Zhao Feng had never been bullied or isolated, he had seen with his own eyes what those who were bullied and isolated looked like.

If Xiaoyu is also isolated...

Zhao Feng shuddered violently, frightened by what he imagined.

Then, without waiting for Zhang Yu to react, he rushed directly to the watch counter.

His aggressive look scared the salesperson, who almost thought he was here to steal the watch.

Zhao Feng placed a watch ticket on the counter and then asked loudly, "How much is the watch?"

Looking at the watch ticket on the counter, the salesperson first breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that no one was here to grab the watch.

But thinking of her fear just now, she looked a little annoyed, but after looking at Zhao Feng's clothes and the brand new watch ticket on the counter, she restrained her expression a little: "120 yuan!"

"What about that one?" Zhao Feng glanced at the counter and chose another one.

Seeing the watch, the salesperson blinked and said with a little more enthusiasm: "You are so lucky. This watch is a new model. Our department store just put it in stock today. The quality and style are excellent, but the price is a little higher."

When the salesperson said that the price was a little higher, he raised his head slightly and looked at Zhao Feng expectantly.

At this time, most people buy watches not only for practical purposes but also to show off.

For example, it can be used as a gift or dowry during a wedding, and...

But we are not fools. Except for some jobs that require a tight time frame, watches are not as practical as bicycles.

With this money, most families would still choose bicycles.

Even when choosing a watch, people usually buy low-priced ones.

This watch is indeed good-looking, but the price is really "good-looking" too!
Not long after the goods were released this morning, many people took a fancy to them.

But when they heard the price, they all backed off.

No matter how many watches he sells, it does not affect his salary.

But if she sells more, it proves that she is capable!

I heard that their current director was promoted because he was good at selling things and won the favor of his superiors.

She didn't ask herself to become the director, but she would be happy if she could move up a level.

Even if he doesn't get promoted, as long as he sells more items every month, he will have face in the company.

Seeing the salesperson praising the watch to great lengths, Zhao Feng became more and more excited and was about to take money out of his pocket.

Zhang Yu just watched quietly from the side, without any intention of stopping him from buying.

Nonsense! With my eldest brother being so confused right now, if I don’t want it, who knows who will get it?

Rather than letting outsiders get the money, it would be better to let his younger brother get the money. He is not short of money, at worst he will find a way to pay it back when his elder brother gets married.

As for now, the most important thing is to empty Zhao Feng's pockets and make it unprofitable for the White Lotus.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yu's gaze towards the watch softened a lot.

He took two steps forward, tugged at Zhao Feng's arm, and advised: "Brother, I already have a watch, so there's no need to buy another one. And that watch looks quite expensive..."

Zhang Yu said no, but Zhao Feng saw the excitement on his face.

Knowing that the younger brother was thinking of him and was reluctant to spend so much money, Zhao Feng's heart softened and he immediately felt that he must buy the watch.

He turned to look at the salesperson and asked, "How much is this watch? Can you please issue me a receipt?"

The salesperson was delighted: "290 yuan!"

Zhao Feng paused as he took out the money. He subconsciously turned around to look at the salesperson and asked in disbelief, "290?"

The salesperson nodded and continued to talk about the advantages of this watch.

Zhao Feng looked at the watch in disbelief. How could anyone dare to sell it for 290?

Now a bicycle is only 180!

He pointed at the watch he had just seen and asked, "That one was only $120, why is this one so much more expensive?"

The salesperson answered calmly, "The two watches are made of different materials, and this watch looks better than that one..."

Zhao Feng stared at the watch without blinking.

He admitted that the watch was indeed beautiful.

But no matter how good-looking it is, it shouldn’t be that different!

Zhao Feng stretched out her hand and looked at the watch on her hand. The watch was not bad looking. She bought it when she just started working. It cost only 95 yuan at that time.

Zhao Feng wanted to say no, but when he turned to look at Zhang Yu, saw the desire in his eyes, and was stimulated by the salesperson's roll of eyes, he became excited and took out all the money from his pocket, counted it carefully, and finally took out a ten-cent note from the pile of money, and then handed the rest of the money including the watch ticket to the salesperson.

"I want that watch." A girl in her 20s suddenly walked out from behind Zhao Feng.

Looking at the watch on the counter, the girl's eyes lit up.

"Wrap it up for me."

Zhao Feng was a little unhappy after being pushed aside: "Do you understand what first come first served means? I came first."

The girl glanced at Zhao Feng with disdain: "You didn't say you wanted to buy anything, why don't you let me buy it? Besides, do you have money? You've been here for a long time, but you didn't say you wanted to buy anything. Don't waste my time."

Zhao Feng's cheeks flushed slightly at the sudden questioning, but he did not back down. Instead, he took a deep breath and tried to make his voice sound firm: "I didn't say I wouldn't buy it. I just want to think about it more."

The girl sneered, and seemed not to give in: "Consider it? Do you need to consider it for so long?"

After saying this, he looked Zhao Feng up and down and snorted disdainfully: "You still want to buy a watch? Don't tease me. I think you should save your money. I want to order this watch."

Seeing this, the salesperson quickly came out to smooth things over: "Two customers, please calm down. This gentleman did come first. How about this, this lady, you wait a moment. We have other watches here, and they are all good."

Just as Zhao Feng was about to speak, the girl interrupted the salesperson impatiently. She glared at Zhao Feng with an impatient look on her face: "Are you going to buy it or not? If not, get out of here. How can a poor bastard who can't even afford a watch come to a department store to shop?"

Zhao Feng said coldly: "Apologize!"

After hearing what the girl said, the salesman's face flashed with embarrassment, because he couldn't afford the watch either.

The salesperson was about to speak, but the girl beat him to the punch: "Alright, stop talking, just give me the ticket, I have something else to do."

As she spoke, she pulled out a bunch of large black stones from her purse and waved them in front of Zhao Feng as if to demonstrate.

Zhao Feng felt mixed emotions, both unwilling and helpless.

At this time, the situation was almost going well, and Zhang Yu came over. He raised his voice and said to the salesperson, "Comrade, please wait a moment. We did get here first. According to the rules, shouldn't you ask us first if we want to buy?"

The salesman was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting this to happen. He glanced at Zhao Feng, then at the girl, and felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

Several customers around also began to talk in low voices, and the atmosphere became tense for a moment.

The girl saw this and a trace of displeasure flashed across her face, but because she was in front of everyone, she could only force a smile: "Well, it depends on whether you can afford it."

Zhao Feng took a deep breath and took out a wad of money from his pocket in a huff: "I'll buy this watch."

After saying that, Zhao Feng rolled his eyes at the girl and snorted, "What are you so proud of? It's just a watch. Do you think anyone can't afford it?"

"Okay!" The salesperson smiled and gave Zhao Feng a ticket.

The girl seemed to be irritated by Zhao Feng, her face flushed red with anger.

After the salesperson issued the ticket to Zhao Feng, he didn't want to give up this big customer, so he tentatively said, "Comrade, we have several other watches of the same brand here, and the styles are not bad. Would you like to take a look?"

"Hmph, I just want that watch. Never mind, I won't buy it!" The girl pouted and turned away.

The salesperson looked at the girl with pity.

What a pity, I thought I could sell another high-priced watch.

Zhao Feng's hands were shaking as he held the ticket.

However, Zhao Feng felt relieved when he saw the girl running away in anger.

But what he didn't know was that the girl who came out of the department store was holding her chest and breathing heavily.

After a while, she looked up at the woman beside her and said proudly, "Third Aunt, how was my performance!"

The woman gave her a thumbs up and said, "Great! I didn't expect you to be so capable. The young man was completely fooled by you."

The girl said proudly, "That's right. I've watched people perform opera since I was a child. The opera masters all said that I had talent. If my father hadn't been so unwilling, I would have almost become his apprentice."

The woman looked at her niece with a smile, and then thought of the tall and strong young man just now, and her eyes lit up.

She asked tentatively, "What do you think of that young man just now?"

Hearing what Third Aunt was planning, the girl rolled her eyes and said, "Third Aunt, stop trying to make connections. With the way I behaved just now, I'm sure I'll offend people."

After saying this, the woman sighed and regretted a little: "If I had known..."

The girl interrupted her directly: "Third Aunt didn't know it earlier, and even if she knew it earlier, we are not destined to be together. I don't like him."

"Okay, okay, okay, tell me what kind you like, and I promise to introduce you to a good one."
