“We’ll split it equally just because you say so?” The old man was still unwilling.
“Then there’s nothing more to say. Call the police.” The crew cut guy immediately took out his phone and said.
“Don ‘t!” Perhaps the old man was afraid of trouble, or perhaps he knew he was in the wrong, so he quickly reached out to stop him. Although he was unwilling, he still said reluctantly,””Half it is then. Give me the money and I’ll give you the lottery ticket.”
“Look, here’s five thousand. Give me the lottery ticket.” The man with the crew cut reached into his pocket and took out a stack of money. He looked ordinary and was not wearing any famous brands, but it was a little surprising that he had so much money with him.
“Five thousand?” The old man was stunned when he saw the amount of money. He might not even be able to earn that much money in a year with his small bags. However, he quickly realized that something was wrong and shouted,””You just said 30000, why are you only giving me 5000? You’re bullying me because I’m uneducated. If you want the lottery ticket, give me 15000!”
“Fifteen thousand? You look like an honest old man, but I didn’t expect you to be so black-hearted, asking for 15000 Yuan. You must be crazy for money!” Little Flathead was about to hit someone.
The old man quickly hid behind Lin Yi and shouted,”Young man, you saw it. He said we were going to split it evenly. He gave me five thousand for a thirty thousand lottery ticket. He’s bullying me because I don’t know how to count!”
“Bullshit! Do you understand that there’s a tax on the lottery? after deducting 20% of the personal income tax, you’ll only have 24000 left, do you understand?” Little Flathead could not hit the old man at the moment, so he could only be patient and angry.
” 24000?” The old man was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a long time, he shouted,””But you can’t just give me 5000, right? young man, help me calculate, how much is half of 24000?”
“12000.” Lin Yi said without changing his expression.
“That’s right, 12000 Yuan. Look, even this young man said 12000 Yuan. You still want to lie to me?” The old man was so angry that his face turned red.
“Okay, if you say so, then you can give me 12000 and this lottery ticket is yours. How about that, old man?” The crew cut guy said.
“I’m just a farmer who sells vegetables. How can I have so much money?” The old man couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed. He looked at little Flathead and said,””I see that you have quite a lot of money on you. As long as you give me 12000, this lottery ticket is yours.”
“In your dreams. Why should I be the one to receive the award? it’s such a troublesome thing. Let an old man like you take advantage of it. I’m telling you, I only have 5000 Yuan here. I don’t have a single cent more. Just tell me if you want it or not!” The buzzcut guy said in a tough tone.
“No, I’m already at a disadvantage splitting it with you. Now, 12000 has become 5000. Do you really think I’m easy to fool?” The old man said through gritted teeth.
“Alright, I’ll call the police now. Old man, don’t even think about getting five thousand!” The crew-cut guy pretended to pick up his phone again.
“You!” The old man immediately became angry and anxious. He quickly stopped him and said,””Fine, I’ll take a step back. I don’t want 12000. As long as you give me 10000, the lottery ticket will be yours. Is that okay?”
“I’ve told you, I only have 5000 Yuan with me, not a single cent more. If you can give me 10000 Yuan, I have no problem with it! No, as a young man, I should be more magnanimous. I don’t even need 10000. As long as you give me 5000, this lottery ticket will be yours. What do you think about it? You don’t have anything to say about this, do you?” The little guy sneered.
The old man seemed to be a little moved, but he still said awkwardly,””I don’t have 5000 either!”
“Then what’s there to say? since you can’t give me five thousand, then I’ll give you five thousand. The lottery is mine, or I’ll call the police. Old man, it’s your choice!” The little guy said as he reached out to grab the lottery ticket again.
The old man quickly hid behind Lin Yi again,”Only five thousand? I’d rather give it to someone else. Young man, as long as you give me five thousand, I’ll give you this lottery ticket. Anyway, I can’t let this little hooligan take advantage of anyone!”
“Who are you calling a little hooligan?” Flathead panicked and wanted to pounce at Lin Yi again, but the old man was extremely agile this time. He dodged around Lin Yi, and the two of them surrounded Lin Yi, making it impossible for him to escape.
Seeing the fight, the people passing by all gathered around, and the crewcut guy stopped when he saw that things weren’t looking good. He quickly pulled Lin Yi and the old man to a corner of the street and lowered his voice,”Forget it, forget it. I’ll just admit that I’m unlucky today, but I don’t want to let this old man get away with it! How about this, brother, you give me 5000 and this old man another 5000, and I’ll let you have this cheap deal. Old man, you don’t have any objections, right?”
“Yes, yes, I can see that you’re a good man. It’s better to give it to a good man like you than to give it to a hooligan like him. As long as you give me 5000 Yuan, the lottery ticket is yours!” The old man said.
“Really?” Lin Yi was a little hesitant.
“Of course it’s true. If you give us five thousand each, we can get twenty-four thousand with this lottery ticket. There’s nothing cheaper than this in the world, right? It’s just that I didn’t bring that much money. If I had brought 10000, you wouldn’t have had the chance to take advantage of me!” The man with the crew cut teased.
“But How do I know if I really won the lottery?” Lin Yi’s face was still alert.
“That’s easy. Just look at the lottery numbers and dates. You can just check it on your phone. How can you lie about this? Here, take a look. ” Buzzcut found the official website of the welfare lottery on his phone and showed Lin Yi the current announcement.
Lin Yi went over to take a closer look and said in a surprised tone,”It really is the third prize!”
“You see, this kind of thing can’t be lied to. Bro, do you want it? If you don’t want it, I’ll find someone else. If I take out 10000, I can get 24000. As long as I shout, there will be people who will come to fight for it. I just thought that you’re not bad, so I gave it to you. ” The little guy took two steps forward as he spoke, as if he was about to walk out of the alley.
“Young man, I know you’re a good person. Just take advantage of me. It doesn’t matter who takes advantage of me anyway. I might as well give it to you. You’re pleasing to my eyes.” The old man also advised.
The two exchanged a few words-one was trying to persuade him while the other was playing hard to get-before Lin Yi finally relented. He carefully took out the ten thousand from his pocket and split it into two stacks, handing them to the two.”Give me the lottery tickets. You two better count them carefully. Five thousand each, and the lottery tickets will have nothing to do with you.”
“It’s okay, it’s okay. If this little hooligan causes trouble or acts shamelessly, this old man will testify for you!” The old man took the money excitedly and nodded repeatedly. (To be continued.) ”
