Chapter 158 Fu Lei made another profit

System: [Fu Lei approached the old lady cautiously and said in a low voice: "Auntie, can I move aside and talk with you for a moment?" After he finished speaking, he gently led the old lady to the side.

At this time, the uncle was dissatisfied with this and shouted loudly: "Hey! Don't leave! You still owe me money!"

Fu Lei waved his hand and responded anxiously in a low voice: "Hush! Don't be anxious, just be patient!" Then he turned around and continued to whisper to the old lady: "Auntie, I have good news for you. I have found a buyer for this stone mill! The buyer offered 120 taels of silver! Moreover, a deposit of 30 taels has been paid!"

The old lady was suspicious after hearing this and asked in confusion: "But you just said you had sold it?"

Fu Lei smiled slyly and explained mysteriously: "Auntie, you don't know that the price I quoted to that uncle was only 80 taels, but in fact it was 40 taels more! Hehe, I was thinking of keeping the money for myself!"

After hearing this, the old lady immediately became unhappy: "Give the millstone back to me, I won't give it to you anymore! Give it back to me now!"

Fu Lei patted his chest and said, "Auntie, I'm a good person. It's okay if you don't want that little bit of money. I can get it back for you!"

The old lady was shocked: "Can I really get it back?"

Fu Lei said with a look of grievance: "But the buyer has given 30 taels of silver now. If I take it back now, I need to compensate the buyer 30 taels. I don't have that much money!"

The old lady said decisively: "It's okay, I'll give you the 30 taels, and you just need to help me get the millstone back!"

After saying that, the old lady took out 30 taels!

Fu Lei quickly accepted it.

"Auntie, you are truly an extraordinary person. Please give me the money. After all, the millstone has been given to the uncle behind. I want to talk to him! I will return the 40 taels of silver to him."

After saying that, Fu Lei trotted over to the uncle's side. 】

All the officials were shocked after hearing this. They had seen people who could cheat, but they had never seen anyone who was so good at cheating!

Nan Rongxi: [Tongzi, this is all right. This makes Fu Lei earn a lot of money again. What happens next? ]

System: [Fu Lei hurriedly ran to the uncle and said breathlessly: "Uncle, I'm so sorry, but now I have to take this millstone back!"

He took a breath and continued, "But I've already found a buyer for it, and they're willing to pay 120 taels of silver!"

The uncle was suspicious after hearing this, and asked half-doubtfully: "Are you trying to trick me again?"

Seeing this, Fu Lei quickly took out thirty taels of silver from his pocket, shook it in front of the uncle, and explained: "Look! The buyer has even paid a deposit of 30 taels, can this be fake?"

When the uncle saw the silver, his eyes lit up and he was so excited that he couldn't wait to say, "Let's sell this millstone as soon as possible!"

After hearing this, Fu Lei slowly shook his head and said firmly: "Auntie, you are not allowed to sell it now! No matter what, this millstone belongs to you!"

The uncle heard this and showed a puzzled expression on his face. He scratched his head and asked, "What should I do? How about I go and discuss it with her?"

Fu Lei hurriedly reached out to hold the uncle, and said anxiously: "Absolutely not! I'm afraid you'll let it slip. It will be bad if the lady knows that this stone mill can be sold for 120 taels of silver. I just negotiated with her that she only wants 60 taels!" His brows were tightly knitted, and he looked worried. 】

After hearing this, Nan Rongxi immediately felt that Fu Lei was truly a talent: [Tongzi, is he trying to trick me out of some money again? ]

All officials began to shift their attention to the Minister of Works. What kind of father could raise such a smart son?

System: [It’s all because the uncle is too honest. After hearing this, the uncle scratched his head and said, “That’s fine, we can just give her 60 taels!”

Fu Lei sighed deeply: "Well... it's OK, but... I only have thirty taels right now!"

Before he finished speaking, the uncle quickly reached into his clothes and took out a few ingots of silver, and said anxiously: "It's okay! I have thirty taels here! This is all I have!"

Seeing this, Fu Lei hurriedly took the silver and thanked her repeatedly: "Thank you, uncle! Don't worry, I will take the silver to find Auntie. After the stone mill is sold, all the money will be given to you! I will come back to move the stone mill later. Just go and tell Auntie that you are here to wait for her, so she doesn't have to worry or be afraid!"

"Well, good brother, I will trust you again!"】

Nan Rongxi: [Tongzi, this guy has got the money from both sides. Is Fu Lei going to escape? ]

Officials: It’s not easy to get out of this situation. Let’s see what other tricks this talented guy has.

System: [Yes, he has already thought of a way out!

Fu Lei's face was filled with a bright smile. He took light and quick steps and rushed towards the direction where the old lady was standing.

"Auntie! Everything has been settled! Don't worry, I have returned all the money that uncle spent. Now this millstone belongs to you! I will rush home and bring it to you!"

After listening to Fu Lei's words, the old lady thought about it for a while, but always felt that something was not right.

She frowned and asked doubtfully, "Young man, don't fool me! If you just leave, I will lose a lot. What should I do then?"

There was a hint of worry and vigilance in the old lady's eyes.

"Auntie, look, I have pinned this uncle down! At this moment, this millstone still belongs to him!"

At this moment, the uncle came forward, patted his chest, and then assured the old lady: "Auntie, please rest assured! I'm here, everything will be fine!"

When the old lady heard this, all her doubts disappeared instantly.

Seeing this, Fu Lei made a prompt decision, quickly grabbed the money, turned over and jumped on the donkey, and ran away like an arrow! The uncle and the aunt were still waving at him, asking him to hurry up, but who knew that Fu Lei would not come back after he slipped away! 】

Nan Rongxi: [Hahahaha…this is so awesome, it really is the ceiling of the scam world!!!]

Bai Guan: I have seen people who can fool people, but I have never seen anyone who is so good at fooling people!

Minister of Works: I can’t believe that this kid’s ability to deceive people has reached the pinnacle. Who did he learn this from?

Nan Rongxi looked at the sunlight outside the hall. Well, it was almost time for today’s sunrise. She ate a few melons and was really happy!

So, Nan Rongxi waved his hand and said, "Dismiss the court!"

All officials retreated!
