Are You a Beggar?

For many white-collar workers, the weekend is a time to sleep in, and Lu Hui is no exception. He usually gets up before seven o'clock every day, but today he slept until almost ten o'clock until his cell phone rang.

"Hello, who is this?" Lu Hui answered the phone without hesitation. He usually didn't dare turn off his phone before going to bed at night, for fear that the company would need to contact him for something.

"Is this Mr. Lu Hui?" A rather moving voice came from the phone.

"It's me. May I ask who you are?" Lu Hui wanted to find the owner of this voice from his memory, but no matter how hard he searched his brain, he still couldn't find it. In the end, he confirmed that he didn't know this person.

"My name is Ning Jie. My husband borrowed ten yuan from you yesterday. He said he would pay you back one hundred thousand. If it is convenient for you, Mr. Lu, please tell me your address and we will go over to pay you back now." The moving voice explained quickly, but Lu Hui sounded a little confused.

"Ah? What did you say?" Lu Hui was not very sober to begin with, and after hearing this, he became even more confused. Was he still dreaming?

After the person on the other end of the phone repeated what he had just said, Lu Hui finally heard it clearly. He finally remembered the matter of the ten dollars and the strange guy he met yesterday morning, the violent man who looked sick but was actually alive and kicking and beat up the emergency doctor. The guy didn't look like a beggar but was penniless and asked him to borrow four dollars, claiming that he would pay him back forty thousand. But in the end he gave the guy ten dollars, and the guy also claimed that he would pay him back one hundred thousand.

"Well, Miss Ning, you really don't have to pay back the money. It's just ten dollars, a small matter." Lu Hui, who remembered this, spoke quickly.

Lu Hui really never thought that the other party would return the ten yuan, let alone the one hundred thousand yuan. He was in a hurry to go to work at that time and basically forgot about the matter after work. But he never expected that someone would call him now and really ask for the money to be returned, and it was one hundred thousand yuan!

"Mr. Lu, my husband is a man of his words. If he said he would pay you back 100,000, then he will pay you back 100,000. So please tell me your address and we will come over to pay you back later." Ning Jie on the other end of the phone insisted on paying back the money.

"Well, Miss Ning, even if you really want to pay back the money, you can only pay back ten yuan at most. How dare I ask you for one hundred thousand..." Lu Hui said in a daze, but he was interrupted before he could finish his words.

"Mr. Lu, I've said before that my husband keeps his word and he doesn't care about this little money, so we will return you the hundred thousand, not a penny less. Please tell us your detailed address so that we can come to find you." Ning Jie on the other end of the phone seemed to be a little impatient.

"Well, okay. I live in the urban village in Xigang. You can call me when you get here." Lu Hui was a little dizzy, but he finally told the other party the address, thinking that the other party might just be talking and would not really come here to find him.

After the other party hung up the phone, Lu Hui was still stunned for a long time, until a puzzled voice came from the side: "Lu Hui, who is calling? Miss Ning, what is this ten or a hundred thousand? What did you talk to her about?"

The person who spoke was naturally Lu Hui's live-in girlfriend, Su Qin. In the central city where Lu Hui once worked, Su Qin's family background was actually quite good. Her father was a civil servant. Although he was not a high-ranking official, his family was still okay. In addition, Su Qin was also very beautiful, so in that place, Su Qin had many suitors. In terms of conditions, some people were better than Lu Hui, but in the end Su Qin still chose Lu Hui, and followed Lu Hui away from her hometown to work hard in this coastal city. Because of this, Lu Hui always felt that he was quite sorry for his girlfriend, and he always hoped to give his girlfriend a good life in this city.

However, after arriving at this place, Su Qin began to feel a little uneasy about him, because after arriving here, Su Qin discovered that there were too many beautiful girls in Wanggang City. This was normal. In a country where there were more men than women, there were many more women than men in Wanggang City. It was not surprising that there were more beauties here.

Su Qin had good conditions in her hometown, but they were just ordinary here. Her salary was now far less than Lu Hui's. Plus, she was now far away from her parents and always lacked a sense of security, so she was even more nervous about Lu Hui. When she heard Miss Ning on the phone, she immediately became alert.

Lu Hui actually knew what his girlfriend was thinking, so he did not hide anything from her. He then told Su Qin the whole story from beginning to end.

"Is it true or false?" Su Qin was a little skeptical after hearing this, "Is there such a thing?"

"I don't know either. I originally said she didn't have to pay it back, it was only ten dollars, but she insisted on paying it back and said her husband kept his word. I can't do anything about it. I'll just have to see if they're really coming later." Lu Hui was a little helpless. "Su Qin, don't take this too seriously. Maybe it's just a joke."

"If I really return you 100,000, we'll be lucky." Su Qin suddenly became a little excited. "We have 100,000 in savings now. With this 100,000, I'll go borrow 100,000 from my parents. We can buy a smaller house here, with a total price of about 1 million. 300,000 can be used as a down payment!"

"Well, Su Qin, if someone really wants to pay me back 100,000, do you think I should accept it?" Lu Hui was still struggling. He always felt that it was a bit unreasonable to lend someone ten yuan and then ask them to pay back 100,000 yuan.

"Accept it, why not? People don't care about a hundred thousand yuan anyway. They will be unhappy if you don't accept it!" Su Qin said without hesitation.

Lu Hui thought about it and found that it seemed to be true. He had just said that he didn't need to pay it back, and the woman on the phone seemed a little unhappy.

So, Lu Hui hardened his heart, gritted his teeth, and decided that if someone really wanted to pay him back a hundred thousand, he would really accept it!

Ning Jie and Xia Tian had just gotten into a taxi and were heading to Xigang Urban Village. After having a bad experience taking the bus last time, Xia Tian obviously would not take the bus again.

According to common sense, they should buy a car. They just made 10 million from Wang Lixing, the guy who has passed away, so buying a car is not a problem. But the problem is that Xia Tian can't drive, and Ning Jie can't drive either.

Ning Jie used to have uneven legs and was nearsighted, so she naturally had no intention of learning to drive. When she grew back to normal, she basically followed Song Yumei to learn martial arts or do other things. At that time, she had a full-time driver, so she didn't need to learn to drive at all. So, until now, Ning Jie is the same as Xia Tian. She can smash cars but she can never drive.

Perhaps it was because most people were still sleeping at this time of the weekend, so there was not much traffic on the road. In less than half an hour, the taxi arrived at the Xigang Urban Village that Lu Hui mentioned.

"Sir, Sihanoukville Village is just opposite. You have to go over there from the overpass. My car can't turn here, so I can't drive through. You'd better get off here. It will be faster this way." The taxi stopped by the roadside and the driver spoke.

"Okay, honey, let's get off." Xia Tian heard that this would be faster, so he immediately agreed and handed the driver a hundred yuan, "No need to change."

Seeing Xia Tian pulling Ning Jie out of the car, the driver thanked him but cursed Xia Tian in his heart. Wasn't it just to pretend to be rich in front of women? He even gave a tip after taking a taxi. If he was really rich, would he still need to take a taxi?

It’s a pity that Xia Tian can’t read minds, otherwise, he would definitely ask for the money back, and might even smash the taxi.

At this moment, Xia Tian was pulling Ning Jie towards the pedestrian overpass, preparing to cross the overpass to the Xigang Urban Village. He believed that he always kept his word, and since he had promised to pay back others 100,000, he had to pay back 100,000. Anyway, to him, 100,000 was a small amount of money and no big deal.

But he had just taken a few steps when he was stopped by someone, and a woman's voice came into his ears: "Young man, wait, donate a dollar!"

Xia Tian looked around and found that the person blocking his way was a middle-aged woman in her forties. He looked at her strangely: "Why should I give you a dollar? Are you a beggar?"

Hearing this, Ning Jie wanted to laugh immediately, and many men and women around her who were also stopped by the middle-aged woman also wanted to laugh. This man's mouth is really poisonous. They are obviously collecting donations, and they are doing it in the name of voluntary collection. He actually said that they are beggars, and asked them so seriously. This is simply a slap in the face!

The middle-aged woman's surname was Bai, and the people who were with her called her Sister Bai. Some people who were stopped to donate already knew that Sister Bai claimed to be collecting donations for the Wanggang Charity Association, and each person only wanted one dollar. This would have been nothing, but this person insisted that everyone donate at least one dollar, and if they didn't donate, she would give them a moral education, which made some people very annoyed, especially the few who didn't have change on them. Although they wanted to donate one dollar and get away, they only had one hundred yuan on them, and they didn't want to donate a hundred yuan. The feeling of being forced to donate was already unpleasant, and they were forced to donate one hundred yuan, which would make them feel heartbroken.

"Young man, how can you talk like that? Who is a beggar? Who is a beggar? Ah? I am doing voluntary fundraising. Do you know what fundraising means? Do you know what helping others means? Do you know..." Sister Bai immediately became displeased and started to teach Xia Tian a lesson.

A group of people nearby looked at Xia Tian with a bit of sympathy. This Sister Bai's ability to be like a shrew was giving them a headache. Many of them had just experienced it. But they couldn't quarrel with Sister Bai here, otherwise, they might be labeled as having no sympathy.

But Xia Tian spoke at this time: "I know I don't owe you money, and I also know you are asking me for money, so you are a beggar. A few days ago, a beggar told me that beggars are all liars, so you are a liar. I hate liars the most, so I won't give you a penny!"
