Ya Xiao sat on the bed with her legs crossed and counted her belongings, and after half an hour of counting came up with the following results: ninety-six dollars and thirty cents in cash, a bank card with a balance of about two thousand dollars, a USB flash drive, and a set of clothes that she had with her, and not even any extra underwear.
She lowered her head in some frustration, her shoulders collapsing. To think that when she arrived at the demon’s house, she was already quite miserable with only bags of luggage, but she hadn’t expected to be so miserable that she didn’t even have a change of clothes at the moment. She counted the cash again and muttered, “It doesn’t make sense, I obviously brought a small three hundred when I went out, how come I only have less than a hundred left?” She tried to remember for half a day finally remembered that she had added gasoline and bought medication on the way, so once she subtracted the number of money, it matched.
“With this much money left, how can we live?” Although she had been at the end of her rope before, she had never felt so much pressure as she did this time. Although the accommodation was provided free of charge by Monsoon, the expenses for utilities and property and whatnot needed to be covered by herself, as well as some necessary expenses like adding some bits and pieces of small pieces and clothes and whatnot, but if she ate, she could save a little bit of money, as the demon was a vegetarian, and she was able to get over it and continue to be a rabbit for a while.
It’s just that there’s no reason for her to be the sole bearer of this financial pressure!
She stood up with a huff and rushed to the next door, and pulled it open with a clatter without knocking, “Aye, I say you – ow – pervert, fruitloop maniac, …… “Hairy, so cold days he actually dared to wear only a small inner house hanging around, also not afraid of catching a cold cold?
He was very calm and comfortable to put on the pants and zipper up the zipper, the action is slow and methodical, “You didn’t knock again.”
She turned her back to him, her voice was not small, “I didn’t see anything.”
“That’s for the best.” His voice was calm, “Is something wrong?”
Something, of course there was something, and it was something particularly big!
She jerked around and came over, practically pouncing, her claws almost embedded in the flesh of his arm, “Money, do you have any money on you?”
He stared straight at her anxious and urgent face for a long time, and shook his head extremely slowly, “Running for my life and still care about this?”
= = = That’s a familiar remark.
“That would be a penny.” She was getting more and more frustrated, how was she going to live with less than a hundred dollars in cash on two adults? “I can’t believe I’m going to have to support a man.” She glared at him viciously, “You don’t even have a dollar on you?”
“No.”
Indeed, this man did not look like he would bring money out of the house, I’m afraid he even did not bother to use the card only used to use the check, this bastard! She looked at the man in front of her with a grudge, thinking, “Egg butt, egg butt, when you don’t have any underwear to change, you can only wear overnight underwear, I’ll see how you egg butt!
“Are you short of money?”
“Nonsense,” she said, getting a little exasperated, “And it’s not me who’s short of money, it’s us!” She aggravated her tone to show that he too had an obligation and responsibility to agonize over money, “Running out of money is a serious matter, we’ll starve, we’ll freeze, and we might get our water and electricity cut off. But I’ll get you out of here before I get my water and electricity cut off.” This asshole who had abused her physically and mentally before and now wanted to eat her soft food!
His gaze was fixed on her face for a while before he said slowly, “I don’t have any money with me, but I do have a card.”
Her eyes lit up, “You have a card with you?” Great, now she didn’t have to touch her old money. Originally, she was dragged into this by him when she ran away, so it was only natural that he would be responsible for their food, clothing, transportation and daily expenses. She was overjoyed and pulled him out, “Let’s go, go get the money right away. After withdrawing the money, go and buy clothes right away!” Because there is no change of clothes, yesterday she did not even take a shower, difficult a night, nightmares and serials like to do.
Small cities have the advantages of small cities, first of all, there are fewer roads and fewer turnoffs, especially recognizable; then there are not too many tall buildings, so it’s easy to see the signboards and find your destination.
Although Yaxiao was new to the city, she found a CBC ATM machine without much effort based on her previous driving impressions. There were quite a few people waiting to withdraw money in front of the machine, and there was a line of five or six people. She took a seat at the end of the line and waved at him, but he ignored her and sat down on a lounge chair. One hand rested on the back of the chair, one hand placed on his knee, his chin slightly raised, quite a bit of arrogance. She looked extremely unhappy, this man to this point is still playing cool, really fucking hopeless.
The team slowly advancing, see the front of the people is more and more less and that man actually still motionless sitting, cold eyes. She couldn’t help but feel a bit anxious, waving her hand at him very hard, with a smile on her face, but her teeth were clenched and she smiled stiffly, “Yeh, it’s almost our turn.”
He remained seated, his gaze moving from the man in front of him to her face, but made no further movement. The person in front of her maneuvered about as far as she could, seeing that he still didn’t move, she was finally angry, squeezing out words one by one, “Shan Yanxiu, you, bring me the card over here!” That tone was as hideous and vicious as the Imperial Army’s control of the common people asking for a rutabaga large hen.
He was finally on his feet, walking slowly over amidst her glare. When he was still half a meter away from her he held out his hand, a black card between his fingers.
“What for?” She said warily, “You take your card, I’m not touching it.”
“I don’t know how to use this machine.” He confessed, “I’ll give you the code and you pick it up.”
She looked at him incredulously, “You don’t know how to use an ATM? Never used one before?”
He shook his head, “There’s cash at home.”
Meaning, he has as much cash as rice at home, so he doesn’t even have access to ATM machines? She stared straight at him, hating that she couldn’t fling his face on the ground and stomp back and forth from side to side. I’ll let you show off your wealth, I’ll let you have a good time, and you can’t even use an ATM machine, so you’re really a very noble race!
“What? Don’t want it?” The black card waved in front of her, quite some provocative meaning, she was momentarily angry, split her hand and snatched it down, “Who said I don’t want it, sis doesn’t have spare money to cook soft rice.”
She angrily inserted the card into the machine, turned her head and asked him for the password. He would have already stood behind her, so close to her that he was almost sticking together. He whispered a quick string of numbers in her ear, and a thought popped into her head just as she was about to raise her hand to press it. The man was so arrogant now that his body was just right, if he had the money wouldn’t he shake it up and crush her to death? Or maybe he would leave her behind after taking the money? Based on his track record, that was highly unlikely. Her hand hanging over the keyboard moved unconsciously, and an extremely bold idea bubbled up.
“What’s wrong?” His voice rang out.
As if startled, she shrunk her shoulders slightly, settled her mind, and shook her head vigorously to shake off that bold thought, “Nothing.” Out of habit, she shaded the keypad and entered her password, and soon a line popped up on the screen prompting that the password was incorrect. She froze and whipped her head around to glare at him, “Is the password correct?” He nodded, “My card only has one password, did you just press the wrong one too fast.”
Her heart felt like it had been scalded, just now she did press it too fast and her heart was in the right place, so there was a high possibility that she pressed the wrong one. She also had to blame this ATM for being older, directly entering without the final confirmation button. But she had a hard mouth, “Are you sure you didn’t make a mistake? No?” Seeing him nodding his head with great certainty, she bristled, her tone a little soft, “Then I’ll try again.”
The second time she pressed the keys she was extra careful, watching the keypad as she entered it, but when she pressed the last password she wondered if it was because the keypad had aged over time, the buttons were so hard she couldn’t press them. She habitually fingers on a hard, only to hear two beeps, the screen is very cheerful again popped up a prompt box saying the password is wrong. She was really creepy now, and did not dare to look at Shan Yanxiu’s face, only to swallow her saliva. But the man said quietly from the side, “There is still one more chance.” She was already very anxious, listening to him say there is another chance to be even more panicked, but also can not think of many, hard head to lose the third password. This time she didn’t wait to press the last key, the thin sweat on her hand made her fingertips slip, and she pressed another key.
The ATM made a mechanical and somewhat gloating sound: Sorry, you have made too many errors, this card has been locked. Thank you for using it.
Her head instantly went blank, mechanically holding the spit out card in her hand, stupidly rushing at him, “The card is locked, what should I do?”
Although she is so asked him, but she is very clear password more than the number of times after the card is locked after the unlocking process, have to go to the counter to unlock, need to bring the card and identity documents, if the inside of the money may be more cumbersome procedures, and may even need to go to the depository bank,……He is now like this, can go? She just gulped a thought, the whole back all of a sudden are hot up, er after the dense cold sweat seeped out.
“You, how much money in your card?”
He lowered his eyes to look at the card in her hand, then looked at her face, expressionless, and
“Twenty million dollars.”
“Two …… you, you lie.”
“Do you think I still have the need to lie to you in this situation?” She did not know why her heart was beating fast, drumming manically as if it was about to jump out, “Then, then now, now …… Hey, hey, where are you going?” It was so rude to talk and walk away, it wasn’t right to be angry!
She hurriedly whisked up to him, raw and tugging, “Hey, where are you going ah.”
He half side of the face, the corner of the eye upward slanting with a knife gouge her, the voice as if squeezed out of the throat as compressed flat, hard and banging.
“Home to eat soft rice.”
